Toronto Sceptres open PWHL season with 3-1 comeback win over Boston FleetPodeli : Dragan “Palma” Markovic, leader of United Serbia, died on Friday at the age of 65, reported the daily Novosti. Markovic became the first mayor of Jagodina when it gained city status in 2008. He served as a Serbian Parliament member from 2008 until resigning in September 2011 due to a conflict of interest. Even after the 2020 elections he was re-elected as Jagodina mayor. Markovic was a close ally of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) and its leader Ivica Dacic. His United Serbia party is part of the ruling coalition. He entered politics in 1993, co-founding the Party of Serbian Unity alongside Zeljko „Arkan“ Raznatovic and Borislav Pelevic.

Editor in Chief Updated The human body is a marvel of engineering, but it’s a machine that requires maintenance and repair. At times, that means trying to replace parts lost to injury or illness. The oldest known prosthesis is the “Cairo toe,” crafted out of wood and leather and thought to be 2,700 to 3,000 years old. Its flexibility as well as signs that it was repaired multiple times suggest that it wasn’t built just for appearance — it helped the person walk. Many efforts to improve replacement body parts followed, including a leg made from bronze and hollowed wood created in what’s now Italy around 300 B.C. Some people in Switzerland and Germany in the fifth to eighth centuries sported wood, iron or bronze feet. In the 15th century, cranks, gears and springs made artificial limbs more functional for those who had at least one hand to manage the hardware. The technology has improved exponentially since then, but one key challenge remains: making the replacement limb easy for the user to control. To solve that major problem, researchers are flipping the script and re-engineering the human body. Help us improve by telling us about your experience In this issue, we explore , a person’s sense of where their body is in space, after an amputation (SN: 10/3/24). Such efforts involve engineers who design prostheses in collaboration with surgeons. The surgeons reroute muscles affected by amputation, realigning them so they generate electrical signals more typical of uninjured musculature. Those signals then direct joints in the prosthesis. In a recent study, people with these new muscle-to-prosthesis interfaces increased their top walking speed by 40 percent. Other engineer-surgeon collaborations have rerouted nerves in order to send stronger signals to a prosthesis, or have connected an artificial limb directly to bone to avoid the too-common issue of pain caused by a prosthetic socket. In a paper, one of the scientists termed it “co-engineering the body and machine.” We also delve into a very different form of research: fieldwork. Charles Darwin became famous for developing his theory of evolution by painstakingly gathering specimens of plants, animals and fossils around the world. Most field researchers never become household names, but their work matters. I didn’t know about Margaret S. Collins, who became , until our life sciences writer Susan Milius proposed a profile of Collins as part of our Unsung Characters series (SN: 11/27/24). And what a life she led. As a Black woman born in West Virginia in 1922, she was a contemporary of the mathematician Katherine Johnson, and like her peer, Collins contended with both racism and sexism, which impeded her efforts to participate equally in the sciences and in society. Nevertheless, Collins persisted, becoming the first Black female entomologist Ph.D. in the United States, raising two sons and conducting field research in the United States, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. Collins made fundamental observations about how termites adapt to hostile dry environments and provided a wealth of data for evolutionists investigating how related species become so diverse. The “termite lady” also opened the door for other women who dreamed of a life as a scientist in the field. Nancy Shute is editor in chief of Science News Media Group.

12. Clemson Tigers 10-3 (7-1 Atlantic Coast Conference regular season) What's next: First-round at No. 5 seed Texas, Dec. 21 Head coach: Dabo Swinney (17th season, 180-46 overall) About Swinney: The 55-year-old, who is 6-4 in the CFP, took over during the 2008 season and has won two national titles (2016, 2018). He will take the Tigers to the CFP the first time since the 2020 season and the seventh time overall. Resume The Tigers, the only three-loss team in the 12-team field, were in a must-win situation in the ACC championship game, prevailing on a last-second, 56-yard field goal to defeat SMU 34-31. Clemson lost two games to SEC opponents (Georgia and South Carolina) this season. The Tigers' other defeat came at home to Louisville. The matchup with Texas will be Clemson's first true road game against the SEC this season. Postseason history A nine-time winner of the ACC Championship Game, the Tigers notched a double-figure win total for the 13th time in the last 14 seasons. Along with its two national titles, Clemson reached the title game two other times (2019 and 2015). This will be the first Clemson-Texas matchup. The road to Atlanta It will be a tricky road for the Tigers to reach the CFP title game in Atlanta at a venue familiar to Clemson fans. The Tigers will take at least two and maybe three trips outside of their own time zone to qualify for the final. Names to know QB Cade Klubnik Klubnik, a Texas native, has been taking snaps in crucial situations since a limited role as a freshman in 2022, when he rescued the Tigers in an ACC Championship victory vs. North Carolina. Sporting a 19-8 career record as a starter, Klubnik has thrown for 3,303 yards and 33 touchdowns along with five interceptions this season. He tossed four TDs in the ACC title game Dec. 7 against SMU after receiving All-ACC honorable mention following the regular season. "He's battle-tested," Swinney said. "He has got a lot of experience under his belt. He has had some failure, which has made him better." RB Phil Mafah The senior has racked up 1,106 rushing yards with eight touchdowns this season and has 28 career scores. Mafah has averaged fewer than 17 carries per game, so he makes the most of his opportunities, and at 230 pounds he can be a load to bring down. DE T.J. Parker He's been disruptive on a regular basis, racking up 19 tackles for loss (11 sacks) this season. The 265-pound sophomore helped set the tone in the ACC title game when the Tigers feasted on early SMU mistakes. Parker is tied for the Division I lead with six forced fumbles this season. K Nolan Hauser The freshman joined the Tigers this season with great acclaim and produced a career highlight with a 56-yard game-winning field goal -- the longest in ACC title game history -- to beat SMU at the buzzer. --Field Level MediaNEW YORK , Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On the year of their 125 th year Anniversary, The E-J Group continues to expand to meet their client's needs by strengthening their presence in the Northeast.

SWEET treat fanatics are flocking to three discount stores to get their hands on a new selection of Baileys desserts. Both Baileys Eclairs and Baileys Indulgent Biscuits have been spotted on the shelves this Christmas. Aldi and Home Bargains have stocked up on the creamy confectioneries and eagle-eyed shoppers were delighted to find them in Iceland as well. Many shoppers were impressed with the creamy find, and gushed in the comment section of the Iceland website. One wrote: "Wow absolutely delicious. "You can taste the Baileys in the very generous cream, will definitely buy again." Another added: "Very nice, lots of Baileys in a small eclair." A third user commented: "Delicious, just the right amount of Baileys cream." Not everyone, however, agreed. One user posted: "Pleased I didn't pay full price for them. Most read in Money "I wont be buying any for myself for Christmas and will have to decide whether I still give them as gifts or give them to the local church for Christmas raffle - maybe with a very sweet warning attached." Another complained: "Smaller than expected, and with a weird aftertaste. "They don't taste like proper Baileys, more like a cheap imitation." Despite the mixed reviews, shoppers are still keen to give the new Baileys collection a try. The Baileys Indulgent Biscuits are described as buttery but still with a hint of liqueur, and not too overpowering. As the the Baileys Milk Chocolate Creams, they consist a balance of a creamy whisky filling covered in milk chocolate. The mini eclairs have a creamy Baileys flavoured filling in a light pastry, covered with a smooth chocolate coating. These are frozen in a pack of 12 and instructions suggest defrosting them for 30 minutes before tucking in. How to save money on Baileys If you're a sucker for that creamy Irish whiskey liqueur, then there are some sneaky hacks that can save you on splashing out on Baileys this festive season. If you want to save your money for presents, you can always go for a Baileys dupe, which have been described as "almost perfect." If you're prepared to let go of the litre bottle you can purchase the 70cl Ballycastle cream liqueur for £5.79 - just 82p per 100ml. Shoppers have described the product as "lush" and "gorgeous" on Facebook. The Ballycastle product also comes in various flavours, such as the newest addition, which is a luscious Milk Chocolate Clementine version for £7.49. If you fancy giving something new a try, this could save you up to a whopping £16.21 on one bottle of Baileys. For the price of one Baileys bottle from Morrisons or Asda, £22.00, you could nearly buy four bottles of the Ballycastle. Read More on The US Sun However, keep in mind that the ABV of Bailey's is 16 per cent, the Ballycastle booze is 12 per cent. Other supermarkets which offer up their own Baileys dupes include Sainsbury's, Tesco, Morrison's, Asda, Lidl and M&S. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping Limit the amount of presents - buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb. Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you're not having to buy multiple presents. Plan ahead - if you've got the stamina and budget, it's worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales. Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you're not forking out more than you should though. Buy in Boxing Day sales - some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25. Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent. Shop via outlet stores - you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts. They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor
The Coalition will reveal details of its nuclear power plan this week, with Opposition Leader Peter Dutton confirming long-awaited costings would be released in the coming days. Speaking to Sky News on Sunday morning, Mr Dutton said the Coalition has stuck to a "very deliberate process" of drip-feeding information about its plan to ensure the Australian public could consume and understand the proposal. "The damage that the Labour Party is doing to the Australian economy is staggering and particularly through their energy policy, manufacturers are fleeing our shores," Mr Dutton told Sky News political editor Andrew Clennell. Mr Dutton cited Frontier Economics which refuted Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's claim electricity and gas bills would cost $12 billion, instead, a "conservative estimate" found energy bills would cost "well over $600 billion". Mr Dutton was pressed on the costings of his plan and whether it will be in the hundreds of billions of dollars.+ The Opposition Leader said the estimates were done by Frontier Economics, the "most credible economic model in the country" and employed by Labor across the country. "Interestingly, the work that they did, which demonstrated that the cost of the renewables-only policy wasn't $122B, it was well over $600B, has not been criticised, nor has the government picked apart the assumptions that have been drawn by the conclusions that have been drawn by Frontier Economics," Mr Dutton said. "We're going to lose jobs and economic activity and capital is being taken from our country and going to other parts of the world by global boards who just don't want to invest under this government." Mr Dutton said 19 of the top 20 economies in the world had nuclear power or were in the process of developing technology, with Australia being the only one that has not signed up to it. The Opposition Leader said food prices were soaring due to unaffordable energy prices, not just for families, but for farmers as well. When asked if nuclear energy would be only 4 per cent of the grid, according to Energy Minister Chris Bowen, Mr Dutton flatly said "no". "There's more that we'll have to say in relation to cost and the way in which we can utilise the existing distribution network by ramping up the energy that we're producing out of our seven coal fired power stations with the latest generation nuclear technology," he said. "And that's a sensible way to do it because part of the government's policy is to roll out 28,000km of new poles and wires, which frankly will never happen. "The government's living this lie at the moment, and unfortunately we're seeing a three fold increase in manufacturing closures." On Thursday, Mr Dutton announced a Coalition government will cancel the controversial Port Stephens offshore wind zone if he is elected. The Albanese government’s planned wind farm has been expected to generate up to five gigawatts of power for about four million homes. During a press conference, Mr Dutton revealed he would scrap the project, citing concerns about the environment, economy and energy reliability. “It is in our country's best interest and in this local community's best interest if this project doesn't proceed,” Mr Dutton said. “The ongoing environmental impact, the emissions, the servicing, the oil that's required to run one of these turbines, all of that needs to be taken into consideration.” Instead, the Coalition has proposed nuclear power plants as an alternative energy source to provide more baseload power over a longer period. Wind turbines have a short lifespan of about 20 years, while small modular reactors have a life span of about 80 years.Raiders' Aidan O'Connell Carted Off with Knee Injury, Replaced by Desmond RidderA couple in Nandyal, Andhra Pradesh, died by suicide by consuming poison reportedly after they failed to convince their son to end his relationship with a transgender woman. According to police, the deceased – Subba Rayudu and Saraswati – were residents of SBI Colony in Nandyal district headquarters. Their son, Sunil, a B-Tech graduate, was working as an auto driver. He reportedly fell in love with a transgender named Smitha. Upon learning about Sunil’s relationship, his parents persuaded him to leave Smitha. They tried to get him married to a girl of their choice. When Sunil refused, they took him to the police station for counselling. However, Sunil stayed adamant about his decision to marry Smitha. Some local reports stated that the parents were visited by a group of transgenders known to Smitha and harassed. Dejected by their son’s refusal and unable to bear the humiliation, Subba Rayadu and Saraswati consumed poison on December 23. They were rushed to the government hospital where the couple passed away the following day. No case has been registered so far, police said.
