Daniel Schmidt, who owns HobbyTown, 4107 Pioneer Woods Drive, said the toy and game store nearly doubled its sales on Black Friday from last year. He also reported shoppers had been buying gifts earlier. Dahlia Brandon of Lincoln tickles her 15-month-old daughter, Gema, with a stuffed animal while shopping at HobbyTown on Saturday. The toy and game store nearly doubled its sales on Black Friday from last year. “The reason folks are coming in and shopping at the volume that they're shopping at is that compressed shopping schedule,” Schmidt said. “There are less days, and it feels like there's less time to do things.” Ron Romero, owner Schafer's, also reported strong Black Friday sales at the appliance and electronics store, mirroring nationwide projections from the National Retail Federation . The group predicted a record 183.4 million people would shop in-person and online between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday. People are also reading... Romero echoed Schmidt's sentiment on the pressure shoppers felt. “If anything, it's just going to increase the urgency to not procrastinate,” he added. A later Thanksgiving shortened what is typically considered the official shopping season. Last year, Thanksgiving was on Nov. 23, which left 31 days for shoppers to find that perfect gift. This year, shoppers had just 26 days beginning on Black Friday to buy gifts before Christmas. The National Retail Federation doesn't believe the shortened timeline will hurt retailers. Its consumer study predicts $902 will be spent on average per person on gifts, food, decorations and other seasonal items this winter. “Despite the shorter window of time between Thanksgiving and Christmas, retailers are prepared to meet the needs of consumers by providing holiday shoppers with earlier deals and sales and by ensuring inventory is available for the most in-demand items this year," said Katherine Cullen, the group's vice president of industry and consumer insights, in a press release . Schmidt said he prepared for the holiday rush at his store by stocking up on products earlier than normal to avoid ongoing supply chain issues. “I can’t necessarily rely on taking a refill during the season,” he said. Shoppers, too, are feeling the crunch. Cindy Jacobson started her holiday shopping Saturday at HobbyTown, looking at "Gundam" figures for her nephew Shawn Phillips. Jacobson hopes planning ahead keeps her on track. “I'm not one to wait to the last minute, so we're getting a jump on it,” she said. Phillips urged Jacobson to purchase the anime figures from “Gundam” on Saturday instead of waiting since he was worried HobbyTown might sell out. “I'm trying to warn her, don't hold back if you see it,” he said. Emily Bals started her Christmas shopping on Black Friday because she was nervous about the fast-approaching holiday. She typically starts gift shopping at the end of the first week of December. “I'm a little nervous just because of the shopping piece, and it's just less time that we have to get to prepare for Christmas,” Bals said Saturday while shopping at Habitat, a kitchen and gift store in the Pioneer Woods shopping center. Bals said she’s more excited than nervous with the “crunch time” since the Christmas season won’t drag on as long. Jeff Hajny, a shopper at the SouthPointe Pavilions Barnes & Noble, agreed. Hajny said he likes having Thanksgiving and Christmas closer together. “Because after a while, you're super excited for it, and then you kind of burn out,” he said. Megan Hundt, another shopper at Barnes & Noble, said she feels the pressure but isn’t concerned she won’t get her gifts in time. “I'm a last-minute procrastinator shopper anyways, and things always end up getting done,” she said. A few shoppers the Journal Star spoke to said missing the five days didn’t change their shopping habits much this season, including Logan Koenig, who was shopping at Painted Tree Boutiques at SouthPointe on Saturday. “I usually wait till around Thanksgiving anyway, so plus or minus five days didn't really make a difference in my mind.” Top Journal Star photos for November 2024 Rachel Mulcahy of Lincoln unveils a roll of about 300 signatures supporting the group Justice in Action during a rally in front of the Hall of Justice on Thursday.

After weeks of fear and bewilderment about the drones buzzing over parts of New York and New Jersey , U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer is urging the federal government to deploy better drone-tracking technology to identify and ultimately stop the airborne pests. The New York Democrat is calling on the Department of Homeland Security to immediately deploy special technology that identifies and tracks drones back to their landing spots, according to briefings from his office. Schumer’s calls come amid growing public concern that the federal government hasn’t offered clear explanations as to who is operating the drones, and has not stopped them. National security officials have said the drones don’t appear to be a sign of foreign interference. “There’s a lot of us who are pretty frustrated right now,” said Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, on Fox News Sunday. “The answer ‘We don’t know’ is not a good enough answer.” President-elect Donald Trump posted on social media last week: “Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge? I don’t think so. Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down.” Certain agencies within the Department of Homeland Security have the power to “incapacitate” drones, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. “But we need those authorities expanded,” he said, without saying exactly how. The drones don’t appear to be linked to foreign governments, Mayorkas said. “We know of no foreign involvement with respect to the sightings in the Northeast. And we are vigilant in investigating this matter,” Mayorkas said. Last year, federal aviation rules began requiring certain drones to broadcast their identities. It’s not clear whether that information has been used to determine who is operating the drones swarming locations in New York and New Jersey. Mayorkas’ office didn’t immediately respond to questions about whether they’ve been able to identify drones using this capability. Schumer is calling for recently declassified radar technology to be used to help determine whether an object is a drone or a bird, identify its electronic registration, and follow it back to its landing place. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Sunday said federal officials were sending a drone detection system to the state. “This system will support state and federal law enforcement in their investigations,” Hochul said in a statement. The governor did not immediately provide additional details including where they system will be deployed. Dozens of mysterious nighttime flights started last month over New Jersey, raising concerns among residents and officials. Part of the worry stems from the flying objects initially being spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military research and manufacturing facility and over Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use, but they are subject to local and Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions. Operators must be FAA certified. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed without permission.

1 2 Varanasi: A deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery procedure, lasting almost 8 hours, was performed by a team of doctors at the Sir Sunderlal Hospital, Institute of Medical Sciences (IMS), Banaras Hindu University, recently, marking a new era in advanced neurological care at the institution. This was the first such procedure in the Purvanchal region, said a statement issued by the institute on Sunday. It is a surgical operation in which neurosurgeon implants a medical device called neurostimulator to send electrical signals to specific areas of the brain. This technology has proven highly effective in treating a range of neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and dystonia. IMS director Prof Shankhwar said DBS was an established US FDA-approved safe neurosurgical procedure for patients with advanced disease in whom medical treatment had failed to provide adequate symptom control and good quality of life, or in whom medical therapy induced severe side effects such as dyskinesias. "We are delighted to announce that the procedure was done under Ayushman Bharat Yojana and all expenditure was taken care of," said Shankhwar, adding that BHU remained committed to providing cutting-edge neurological care and improving quality of life of patients with neurological disorders. "This successful DBS surgery is a testament to the institution's dedication to innovation and patient care," he said. The surgery was performed by the doctors of the departments of neurology and neurosurgery under the guidance of IMS director Shankhwar and medical superintendent Prof K K Gupta. Prof Deepika Joshi and Dr Anand Kumar from department of neurology, Dr Nityanand Pandey from department of neurosurgery, Dr Naren Naik, consultant neurosurgeon from Global Hospitals Mumbai, and Prof R K Dubey from anaesthesia, along with the Medtronics India team, were involved in the procedure. Other faculty from neurology department who were part of the team included Prof V N Mishra, Prof R N Chaurasia, Prof Abhishek Pathak (HoD), Dr Varun Kumar Singh and senior residents Dr Janki Makani and Dr Arpan Mitra.US agencies should use advanced technology to identify mysterious drones, Schumer saysIn a recent interview, Elon Musk's son, X Æ A-12 Musk, caused a stir by publicly stating that he believes his father should "save America."

President-elect Donald Trump called his meeting with Justin Trudeau productive and says the prime minister made a commitment to work with the United States to end the drug crisis amid the threat of stiff tariffs. Trudeau flew to Florida Friday evening to attend a dinner at Mar-a-Lago, where Trump’s transition team is based. The in-person meeting came at the end of a rocky week in which Trump threatened to impose stiff tariffs on all imports from Canada and Mexico, unless the two countries stop illegal border crossings and prevent illicit drugs from entering the U.S. In a post on Truth Social, Trump says he and Trudeau discussed the drug crisis, particularly fentanyl, illegal immigration, as well as trade, energy and the Arctic. Trump’s post did not directly mention tariffs. Trudeau told reporters in West Palm Beach Saturday morning that he had an excellent conversation with Trump’s transition team."Shenkuu Motorsport" Series Brand Festival Kicks Off on Steam
Border Security Force (BSF) on Saturday recovered a Pakistani drone carrying narcotics along the Indo-Pak international border in Jammu sector, said officials on Sunday. On Saturday at about 2010 hrs (8.10 pm), a smuggling attempt was foiled by the troops of BSF in Arnia sector of Jammu, said a BSF spokesperson. The drone entered India from across the border and was seized from the Chinaz Border Outpost area in the Arnia sector late Saturday, he added. “The BSF troops intercepted the Pakistani drone along with 495 grams of narcotics substance,” he added. The relentless dedication and sharp vigil of BSF Jammu personnel have once again defeated nefarious design of anti national elements, showcasing their unwavering commitment to the nation’s security, he said. On Friday, the inspector general of the BSF’s Jammu frontier DK Boora said that the border guarding force has put almost entire 200 km long Indo-Pak international border under technological surveillance, including smart fence and anti-drone system. “Technological surveillance is almost on the entire Jammu border and it is being extended along other frontiers of the country. Very soon all the frontiers will be under physical and technological surveillance,” he said. When asked about reduction in the incidents of Pak drones entering Indian territory, he had attributed it to the induction of anti-drone systems all along the frontiers with Pakistan. “It can’t be said if Pakistan has reduced attempts of sending drones but ever since we upgraded our counter drone systems this problem has come down almost to negligible level in Jammu sector, which proves that our technology is successful,” he had said.
