The meeting primarily focused on outlining proactive steps to safeguard temples, particularly during the upcoming festive seasons, and to address recent concerns about temple security and community welfare. The senior officer urged temple authorities to hire trained watchmen for round-the-clock protection. The representatives from temples in Hyderabad were also advised to maintain cleanliness by ensuring that garbage bins are emptied regularly, preventing stray dogs and other animals from disturbing the temple grounds or spreading non-vegetarian remains, which could potentially offend religious sentiments. A strong appeal was made to temple management in Hyderabad to avoid posting religious symbols or images on temple compound walls, as this could lead to desecration by vandals or mentally unsound individuals. The DCP also encouraged temple management to collaborate with law enforcement in raising awareness about various social issues such as rumours spread via social media, drug menace, cybercrime, online offences, and crimes against women, particularly on platforms used by local communities. The police highlighted the importance of community involvement in these efforts to foster a safer environment. Temple authorities across Hyderabad were encouraged to promote community carpooling to alleviate traffic congestion and parking issues thereby improving accessibility to the temples and reducing stress on local roads. The need for regular fire and electrical safety audits was also discussed, with the DCP stressing the importance of preventing accidents that could jeopardize public safety. Temple management was asked to prominently display emergency contact numbers, including those of the local station house officer, sector SIs, and the emergency number ‘100’ within the temple premises, to ensure quick communication in case of emergencies. Further, temple authorities were also advised to keep an eye on street dwellers and inform the police about any unknown individuals, especially near areas where Annadanam (free food distribution) programs are held to ensure their safety.

In some parts of the state, there are smaller waters that show the appearance of safe ice. Hunters should be cautious of walking on frozen stock ponds, sloughs, creeks and rivers. Ice can form overnight, resulting in unstable conditions. Ice thickness is not consistent, as it can vary significantly within a few inches. Hunters walking the edge of a cattail slough will not find the same ice thickness in the middle, as the edges firm up faster than farther out from shore. A few reminders: BISMARCK – North Dakota’s statewide duck and white-fronted goose seasons close Dec. 1. However, duck hunting in the High Plains Unit reopens Dec. 7 and continues through Dec. 29. In addition, the season for Canada geese closes Dec. 16 in the Eastern Zone, Dec. 21 in the Western Zone and Dec. 27 in the Missouri River Zone. Light goose hunting closes statewide Dec. 27. Archery deer, fall turkey, sharp-tailed and ruffed grouse, partridge and pheasant hunting seasons continue through Jan. 5. The season for tree squirrels closes Feb. 28.
Notre Dame puts losing streak in past, turns focus to Dartmouth
Nearly 1,700 Vineyard Employees Participate in the Largest Survey Ever Taken of Vineyard Workforce SANTA ROSA, Calif., Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The largest and most comprehensive survey ever taken of vineyard employees provides interesting insight into their career plans, job satisfaction, wages and more. The Fundación de la Voz de los Viñedos, whose mission is to support local vineyard employees and their families, collaborated with Beacon Economics to develop a comprehensive set of more than 60 questions for vineyard employees in Sonoma County. Among the findings, most vineyard employees expressed high job satisfaction driven by a positive work environment, higher-than-average wages and unique opportunities for career growth. Add the fact that a significant portion of vineyard employees benefit from employer-provided housing (40%), and it is easy to understand why most respondents (81.88%) would recommend a job in agriculture as a career path to others. Given Sonoma County Winegrowers' commitment to sustainable farming and its "Farm of the Future" initiative, local vineyard employees are also eager to continue their education and gain essential new skills as the region's reputation as a living lab for innovation, technology, automation and mechanization continues to grow. "We did this survey to better understand our vineyard workforce, their current roles, and their aspirations for the future. Vineyard employees in Sonoma County have a very savvy understanding of the future of agriculture in the region. Our partnerships and collaborations are resulting in improved efficiencies and new technologies which they witness in the vineyards on a regular basis, and they intend to be an important part of that future," said Karissa Kruse, Executive Director of the Fundación de la Voz de los Viñedos and President and CEO of the Sonoma County Winegrowers. She added, "That's why more than 90% of the respondents want to gain new competencies, learn new skills and continue receiving job training. It is also why we are excited for our Foundation to continue to be a global leader in workforce development for our ag workforce." Sonoma County's vineyard workforce is young, predominantly male and overwhelmingly Mexican. Nearly half are married and many (50%) work alongside their family members working for the same employer. More than 25% of their partners also work in agriculture and 90% of the respondents have children. Nearly half of the respondents (49%) have received employer-provided job training and 11% have participated in external training which is more than double the statewide average. There is strong interest in learning new skills and competencies like tractor driving, equipment operation, and sustainable farming which presents an excellent opportunity for employers to provide targeted training programs in the future. "It is interesting that the great majority of the vineyard workforce in Sonoma County have nearly fifteen years of experience in agriculture with nearly nine of those years working in Sonoma County and about seven of those years with their current employer, giving the winegrowing community a very talented and experienced group of employees," said Duff Bevill, Chair of the Fundación. He added, "We are blessed to have such a proficient workforce who enjoy working and living in Sonoma County." Most employees live locally—over 80% reside within Sonoma County, with a substantial share based in Santa Rosa. As previously stated, approximately 40% of the survey respondents receive housing in Sonoma County that is free, subsidized or provided by their employer. This is well above the U.S. Department of Labor's estimate of only 9% of California farmworkers benefiting from employer-provided housing. In addition, three-fourths of full-time vineyard employees are enrolled in employer-provided healthcare plans. "There is a unique relationship between Sonoma County vineyard employees and their employer that has been founded on trust which is reflected in the survey findings," said Kruse. She added, "It is very common to visit various farms and meet a number of employees who have worked for the same employer for ten, twenty or even thirty years. In fact, more than half of the respondents have a family member working with them for the same employer." Grape vineyard employment as a percentage of total employment in Sonoma County has increased from around 2.5% in the 1990s to more than 3% in the 2020s which indicates the continued presence of the wine industry's influence on the region. Sonoma County's vineyard employees are better paid than many of their counterparts in California. Not including H-2A visa holders, the majority of Sonoma County's vineyard employees earn between $18 and $20 an hour which is well above California's minimum wage. More than 70% of the respondents receive an average of $19 an hour. More than 14% receive $22 per hour, 8% receive $24 per hour and 2% of the respondents receive a salary. Sonoma County vineyard employees typically earn more than $13,000 per quarter which is 1.4 times more than Californians with similar education levels. More than 94% of the respondents reported that their winegrowing job was their only job. In addition, 83% of the respondents own a smart phone; nearly half of the respondents have Wi-Fi at their home; and driving personal cars is the most common means of commuting. This all adds up to Sonoma's vineyard workforce having high job satisfaction "We are very proud to have worked with the Fundación on this comprehensive survey. Sonoma County's vineyard workforce has been integral to the wine community's success, and they are poised to continue to grow and evolve with the industry," said Christopher Thornberg, PhD and Founding Partner of Beacon Economics. He added, "The results of this survey should be viewed as a roadmap for all ag employers to establish and maintain a supportive environment which will enable their employees to grow and thrive." The survey was conducted in the summer of 2024 and 1,668 responses were received from vineyard employees from small, medium, and large operations. The responses were digitized, and Beacon Economics analyzed both aggregated and individual data to prepare this report. The survey aimed to gather insights on worker demographics, job characteristics, wages and income, housing and transportation, and interest in further education and job training. Wherever possible, the survey questions were aligned with those used by the US Department of Labor's National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS).

Relaunched in January of 2016, the Fundación is focused on improving the lives of Sonoma County's agricultural employees and their families, while ensuring Sonoma County remains a place where agricultural workers will continue to live, work, and thrive. Our mission is simple - support local vineyard employees and their families. Since its relaunch in 2016, the Sonoma County Fundación de la Voz de Los Viñedos has continuously proven it has a unique model of outreach and support, recognizing and relying on the trusted relationship that farmers have with their employees. The Fundación has five strategic priorities: leadership; empowerment and recognition; workforce development; resiliency; and resources. The two flagship programs are the Vineyard Employee Recognition Program and the Leadership Academy. In 2022, the first class of the Leadership Academy met to brainstorm names for the Foundation which would best represent them and the work they do. They selected Sonoma County Fundación de la Voz de Los Viñedos (The Voice of the Vineyards). The Fundación is managed by the Sonoma County Winegrowers with a 16-member board of directors comprised of agricultural leaders, vineyard and winery owners, and Sonoma County community leaders.

Vicario’s injury coul force Tottenham to bring in a goalkeeper next January Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario announced on social media that he has suffered an ankle fracture and was operated upon following their defeat of Manchester City on Saturday. The Italian international also revealed that he played an hour of the game with his injury, although he failed to give a timeframe for his return to action. Ange Postecoglou will have to call upon 36-year-old second-fiddle goalie Fraser Forster. He has been used in the Europa League matches every now and then this season as well as in the cup games, but it remains to be seen if he is up for the intensity of playing in the Premier League although there is little that Spurs can do until January at least. #thfc Vicario played for 60 minutes away to Manchester City with a broken ankle pic.twitter.com/qIzNBJdW9d The Telegraph has reported that Vicario is expected to be out for months and not weeks due to the surgery and as a result, Tottenham will expedite a goalkeeper’s signing in the winter. A shot-stopper’s purchase was anyways on their radar but the board was happy to wait until the end of the season but it is fair to say that doing so would be extremely detrimental at this point in time. The source does not link any particular goalkeeper to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and not much has emerged in recent hours regarding who exactly the Lilywhites could swoop for, though it is admittedly going to be difficult to bring in a first-choice level goalkeeper in January as clubs will be very reluctant in letting go of their players midway through the campaign. For the very near future, Fraser Forster will be the favourite to feature in each of Tottenham’s 10 games that remain between now and January. He is an experienced goalkeeper having previously spent eight years on Southampton’s books but it is not remiss to admit that Postecoglou will be anxious about his backline with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven also currently on the sidelines.

Notre Dame (5-5) hosts its next-to-last nonconference game Wednesday night against Dartmouth (4-4), which plays its sixth contest of a seven-game road trip. The Fighting Irish took a promising step — and snapped a five-game losing streak — on Saturday by edging Syracuse 69-64 in their ACC opener. “We needed to be in a close game and we needed to win a close game so our guys can build some belief back,” head coach Micah Shrewsberry said. “We can’t take any steps back on Wednesday.” Without Burton — the stat sheet-stuffing sophomore point guard who injured the medial collateral ligament in his knee Nov. 26 against Rutgers — the Irish are struggling to find someone to run the offense, as evidenced by their seven assists versus 15 turnovers against Syracuse. At the same time, players are filling the scoring void. Braeden Shrewsberry poured in a career-high-tying 25 points versus the Orange while hitting 6 of 11 3-point attempts. Tae Davis averaged 12.4 points and 7.2 shots per game when Burton was healthy, but he has upped his mean production to 16.6 points and 12.2 shots in the past five games. Micah Shrewsberry, though, prefers to measure progress on a possession-by-possession basis. “Just the toughness,” he said. “There have been times when we haven’t gotten the key stop. We haven’t gotten the bucket when we quite need it. It gets deflating sometimes.” Dartmouth knows that feeling. On Sunday, the Big Green took a one-point lead with 4:03 left in overtime at Illinois-Chicago — and then failed to score on their final six possessions to suffer a 69-68 loss. The Big Green, who haven’t posted a winning season since 1998-99, believe in launching 3-pointers as they take 48% of their shots from behind the arc. Senior Cade Haskins (13.6 ppg) has hit a team-high 28 of 68 3-pointers this season, though fellow senior Ryan Cornish stacks up as the team’s top scorer (14.3 ppg), passer (3.0 assists per game) and defender (2.3 steals per game). In its only previous game against a power-conference opponent, Dartmouth upset Boston College 88-83 on Nov. 29.Harris’ campaign leaders say there was a ‘price to be paid’ for shortened campaign against Trump
Vande Bharat Metro: Good news! Vande Bharat Metro trains will run on five routes, check route chart and time tableIt was a long and mostly miserable season for Toronto’s veteran reliever Jordan Romano in 2024. He was coming off two All-Star seasons as the Blue Jays closer, had accumulated 95 saves over the previous three seasons, but but as the season trickled through the late spring it became obvious this season wasn’t going to turn out like those other two. He first encountered elbow inflammation issues during spring training, delaying his season start until mid-April. He seemed to pick up where he’d left off in 2023, accumulating four saves in a couple of weeks, but his velocity dropped significantly during a stretch in May and his ERA ballooned to 6.59 before he was finally pulled from action at the end of the month. But before his injury troubles really began to set in on him, there was the memory of the day that he managed his fifth save of the season, coming on May 8 on the road in a day game at Citizens Bank Park. “The place was absolutely sold out,” Romano said Tuesday, recalling the surprise of what even a workday baseball game in South Philadelphia was like. “The atmosphere was electric, and kind of coming off that series, I thought that if I get a chance to play here, I think I’d really enjoy it.” Romano will indeed get that chance, after he was signed Monday to a one-year, $8.5 million contract by Phillies president Dave Dombrowski. While some critics thought the signing was a bit of a gamble with what today is almost like a pocket-change free agent contract, Dombrowski sees in Romano a 31-year-old premier reliever almost back to full health and still in the prime of his career. Before departing the Winter Meetings in Dallas, Dombrowski praised Romano, calling him “one of the best back-end, high-leverage guys in baseball. Our medicals on him have been very good.” On a Zoom call with media members Tuesday, Romano said he was excited to keep progressing in his efforts to recapture his form from a couple of seasons ago. “Last Friday I got off the mound, felt great, mid-90s, for the first bullpen, which i was really excited about,” said Romano. He added that after another few weeks of “deloading” and strength training, he’ll get back to throwing bullpens in January. But he thinks he’s well on his way to full recovery before spring training starts. It was a long road. Romano, 31, would go on IL on June 1, and after another setback during rehab finally underwent elbow surgery in July. His rehab after that didn’t go well, either, and after initial optimism that he’d be returning sometime in August, the call was made to let him continue to rehab while the Blue Jays were quickly playing themselves out of contention. “The whole plan last year was never really to come back at the end of the year. We were just going to take it a little bit ... not even slower, just follow the timeline with that,” said Romano, a native of Markham, Ontario. “I want to get back on track, I’m feeling healthy and good now so I just want to have the one year to get back out there and prove my worth.” Before meeting any of his teammates, Romano can feel comfortable knowing that his manager, Rob Thomson, is a fellow Ontarian. But Thomson isn’t being provincial in his thinking about Romano’s role here – there were no fast promises of giving a closer role to Romano. Thomson doesn’t like to use that “closer” term anyway. Instead, the plan for Romano is to help in “high-leverage” situations, especially since both Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez are currently on the free agency market themselves. The Phillies now have Romano to go with fellow right-hander Orion Kerkering and left-handers Matt Strahm and Jose Alvarado as back-end bullpen weapons. “I’m just kind of going in and wherever I can, help,” Romano said. “If they want me to throw the ninth, you know, I do love closing. I have experience there and I’m happy to do it. But if they need me in other spots, too, I’m happy to do that. “I’m kind of just there to help get big outs wherever they need them.”
Generally speaking, if you are looking for a basic statistic that groups the good NBA teams and the bad teams together, it’s assist-to-turnover ratio. You certainly want as many assists as possible — that’s a sign of good offense. And you would like to limit giveaways that decrease your number of looks at the bucket while often feeding your opponent Grade A opportunities. The ratio balances out the equation for teams that may turn the ball over more than others simply because it moves the ball at such a high rate. The bad teams are the ones that turn the ball over often without the added benefit of creating easy shots when they do take care of the ball. That, currently, is the group that includes the Timberwolves. The Wolves have just 1.52 assists for every turnover, the sixth-worst mark in the NBA entering Saturday’s games. Of the nine NBA teams below 1.6, only the Wolves (8-7) and Clippers (10-7) have winning records, and the Clippers have been dominant defensively. Also in the bottom nine are the two-win Wizards, the three-win 76ers and Jazz and the four-win Pelicans. Since the 2020-21 season, nine teams have finished the season with an assist-to-turnover number below 1.6. Only one of those teams won more than 27 games — the 2022-23 Magic, who went 34-48. While the Wolves are still above .500 going into their game against the defending champion Celtics on Sunday in Boston, that’s with what has been the NBA’s fourth-easiest schedule to date, per ESPN. Timberwolves coach Chris Finch has cited the turnover issues in recent weeks when discussing his team’s struggles, though he’s noted the giveaway totals have dipped in recent games, Thursday’s loss to Toronto not withstanding. But Minnesota hasn’t committed fewer than 11 turnovers in a single game this season. Meanwhile, the Wolves have tallied fewer than 25 assists in more than half of their games. It all speaks to a disjointed offense. Finch has at times attributed that to missed shots that were good looks. But the Wolves are tied with Charlotte for the fifth-fewest potential assists this season, at 43.7 per game. The stats say Minnesota’s shot making is what has saved the Wolves’ offense this season. The Wolves have the NBA’s 10th-best offensive rating, averaging 1.14 points per possession. That’s with having the League’s fourth-best effective field goal percentage (56.3). The three teams above it in that category all average 1.2-plus points per possession. Those same squads also average more than 2.1 assists per turnover. It all fits the eye test for the Timberwolves. They have an offense that’s run on shot making off isolation basketball. So much of it is without the rhythm and movement Finch aspires for his teams to achieve. And, given that this Wolves unit doesn’t seem to be nearly as dominant defensively as it was one short season ago, until Minnesota can look more like a fluid offense, it will continue to look like a .500 team, or if not worse.Ademola Lookman was on target for Atalanta in their 3-1 win away to Parma in the Serie A on Saturday. It was Lookman’s seventh goal in 10 games in the Italian topflight this season. With 15 minutes left Lookman scored to put Atalanta 3-1 ahead to seal the win. He was then replaced with eight minutes left to play in the game. The win against Parma means Atalanta have now won six consecutive games. Also, Atalanta temporarily go top on 28 points in the league table after 13 games played so far.

(AP) — The Minnesota Vikings waived cornerback Akayleb Evans on Saturday in another setback for their beleaguered 2022 draft class. Evans started 15 games last season, but he had been relegated to a special teams role this year after the Vikings added veteran cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore and Shaquill Griffin. Evans was a fourth-round pick out of Missouri, one of three defensive backs among Minnesota's first five selections in 2022. Lewis Cine (first round) was waived and Andrew Booth (second round) was traded earlier this year. One of their second-round picks, guard Ed Ingram, lost his starting spot last week. Evans was let go to clear a roster spot for tight end Nick Muse, who was activated from injured reserve to play on Sunday at Chicago. The Vikings ruled tight end Josh Oliver out of the game with a sprained ankle. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
