Overhauls of 'heritage brands' raise the question: How important are our products to our identities?
By Colin McCarthy Colts linebacker E.J. Speed was given a hefty fine by the NFL on Saturday for his illegal hit on Patriots captain Hunter Henry in Week 13. Speed led with his helmet on the hit, which occurred late in the first quarter of New England’s heartbreaking loss. The contact was significant enough to take Henry out of the game for a few plays, though he later returned and played most of the contest. Though Speed wasn’t penalized at the time, the NFL later deemed the play dangerous enough to levy the linebacker with a $22,511 fine, the largest of the week by over $2,000. The NFL officially listed the hit as “Unnecessary Roughness (use of the helmet).” Watch the play here: Colts EJ Speed fined $22,511 for striking with helmet. No flag on play. pic.twitter.com/QAsAAzNrKs Henry has been one of Drake Maye’s biggest security blankets, proving himself as a reliable veteran target for the rookie signal caller. Henry leads the Patriots in receiving yards (610), receptions (58), and targets (83), so losing him for extended time would have been a major blow for New England. Fortunately for the Patriots, it appears Henry dodged any major injury. Since New England has a bye week, the team is not required to submit injury reports, therefore Henry’s status won’t officially be known until Wednesday. As for Speed, the 28-year-old is in the last year of his two-year, $8 million deal with Indianapolis. He’s already reached a career-high in tackles (117), and solo tackles (80), and tied his personal best in pass breakups (4) with four games remaining. So, while the large fine is hurting Speed’s wallet this week, he might not worry about it so much if he’s able to ink a lucrative contract in free agency.

A "breathless" dad who dialled 999 pleading for help tragically died at home after NHS bosses cancelled his ambulance, an inquest heard. 52-year-old Simon Boyd, who lived in Heaton Moor, Stockport, was suffering with vomiting and diarrhoea in the week leading up to his death in May last year. His ex-wife Elaine Parker-Boyd said he suspected he had gastroenteritis or norovirus. He had a 'relatively complex' medical history - including heart problems, high blood pressure , chronic fatigue syndrome and sleep apnoea, the coroner presiding over his inquest added. His son had been with him on May 30 and the following day, before returning to his mum's house in Heaton Chapel, Elaine said. On May 31, Simon rang 111, with area coroner Chris Morris saying he 'reported dizziness, lethargy and sweating'. He was given 'self-care advice' and told to ring his GP or 111 if symptoms persisted. 'Safety-netting' took place and he was told about 'red flag' symptoms, the coroner added. Elaine and their son spoke to him the next day and told them he felt 'better', she said. He promised he would eat and sent them a photograph of his dinner, Elaine told the Manchester Evening News. Most of it was uneaten when he was discovered, she added. Their son was due to return to his dad's flat the Saturday morning (June 1). They didn't know that just after 5.20am, Simon had dialled 999 and asked for an ambulance as he was feeling breathless. The call was initially categorised as a 'category three' case - 'urgent calls' which should be responded to within two hours - nine out of 10 times, the coroner said. The anticipated wait for an ambulance that day was three hours and 15 minutes, the coroner said in a Prevention of Future Deaths report. This, he said, was 'a factor which contributed to decision-making in this case'. Following a review by the North West Ambulance Service, Simon was referred to the Greater Manchester Clinical Assessment Service (CAS), provided by the Greater Manchester Urgent Primary Care Alliance (GMPUPC). Simon was spoken to by a doctor, who referred him to a local out-of-hours service, 'cancelling the ambulance response', the coroner's report states. When it was established Simon was unable to make his own way to the out-of-hours centre, he was spoken to and assessed over the phone by another doctor, who, the coroner said, 'who triaged him for a routine (same day) home visit'. Simon spoke to his dad on the phone at 8.15am before ringing his son at around 8.30am, telling him he was 'struggling to breathe', Elaine said. Elaine and her son then made their way to Simon's home. The doctor had already arrived - at 8.34am - but there was no answer. Police arrived and Simon was found. "When we got there, there was a police officer sat in the passenger seat of Simon's car, looking through the glovebox," Elaine told the M.E.N. "My son, straight away, said 'my dad's dead'. I said 'no he's not, why are you saying that to me?'. He said 'there's no ambulance'. He had noticed there was just a doctor's car and police outside the flat, but no paramedics. My son now has to live his life with his dad not being around." An inquest into Simon's death concluded at South Manchester Coroners' Court in Stockport last month. Coroner Mr Morris recorded a narrative conclusion, saying Simon 'died as a consequence of a myocardial infarction' - the medical term for a heart attack - 'which was first diagnosed after his death despite him seeking help from urgent and emergency care services'. In a Prevention of Future Deaths report, the coroner raised a number of concerns. He has told the Health Secretary the estimated three hour 15 minute wait for an ambulance was 'a factor which contributed to decision-making in this case' and that he was 'concerned that national targets for ambulance response times continue not to be adhered to'. Mr Morris also raised concerns about NHS Pathways, the national triage system used by call handlers, including the wording of some of the script used by call handlers. "Phrases such as 'an emergency ambulance has been arranged'; 'we will be with you as soon as possible, as soon as an ambulance is available'; and 'if you can ask for someone to meet and direct the vehicle and shut any dogs away if there are any' potentially give a misleading impression as to ambulance dispatch having occurred, which could conceivably deter a caller from taking steps which might realistically result in them obtaining faster help," Mr Morris wrote. He added it was a 'further concern' that a requested ambulance can be cancelled 'without this first being discussed with the person who has felt it necessary to dial 999 and request an ambulance in the first place'. Both the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS England have been asked to respond to the report. Nimish Patel, from McHale and Co solicitors, which represented the family, said: "This is a distressing case which highlights the difficulties caused by the current plight of the ambulance services and limited resources which mean that the patients who need the most urgent care may not receive it in time." A spokesperson for the DHSC said: "Our deepest sympathies are with Simon's family and friends in this tragic case. We consider every Prevention of Future Deaths report carefully and will respond in due course. "Our 10 Year Health Plan will support ambulance services to improve and meet the response time standards the public rightly expect, and fix our broken NHS." An NHS England spokesperson said: "NHS England extends its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Simon Boyd. We are carefully considering the Prevention of Future Deaths Report sent to us by HM Coroner and will respond in due course." An NWAS spokesperson said: "Our condolences go to Mr Boyd’s family at this difficult time. We support the coroner's aim to improve the experience of patients by reducing wait times and ensuring the information that we give to callers continues to be clear and appropriate." The GMPUPC was contacted for comment.

Trump and giveaways: What Elon Musk spent $270M on during the electionCurl-Salemme, Michaela Cava each score twice, Frost beat Sceptres 6-3 in PWHL
Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk spent over a quarter of a billion dollars to help get President-elect Donald Trump back in the White House, according to newly released campaign finance records. The billionaire tech mogul spent over $270 million of his own money through two super PACs that promoted Trump's candidacy and other Republicans, including one that appeared to refer to deceased liberal Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, according to filings released Thursday night by the Federal Election Commission. Musk spent roughly $240 million on his pro-Trump super PAC America. The PAC was created after Musk endorsed Trump in July, which made Musk the single largest political spender in the shortest period of time. Half of the PAC's money came in the final weeks of the election and in the weeks following the election, and by Nov. 25, the PAC only had $2 million left in the account, according to the FEC. Much of the money was spent on direct mail, canvassing and phone calls, the PAC's filing showed. The filing also showed a total of nine $1 million payments given to nine individuals labeled as "spokesperson consultant," which appeared to be the swing state voters that won Musk's controversial daily $1 million prize. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner sued the PAC in October contending Musk was running an illegal lottery in Pennsylvania. Common Pleas Court Judge Angelo Foglietta denied an injunction request a few weeks later after an attorney for the PAC testified that the giveaway wasn't random, despite Musk's claims that they were. The PAC also reported roughly $433,000 in legal bills paid to THE GOBER GROUP PLLC, according to the FEC. A new filing showed that Musk was the sole funder of a pro-Trump super PAC named RBG PAC, giving $20 million to the group in the final weeks of the election. The PAC used the initials of former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and ran online ads featuring women who claimed Trump would endorse potential national abortion bans. Trump has long boasted about his role in ending Roe v. Wade by taking credit for nominating three of the six conservative justices who voted to overturn the case in 2022. Clara Spera, Ginsberg's granddaughter, chastised the PAC in a statement to the Washington Post stating it "has no connection to the Ginsburg family and is an affront to my late grandmother's legacy." Earlier in the election cycle, Musk had written big checks to groups supporting House and Senate GOP, including $12.3 million to two super PACs supporting Senate GOP candidates, and another $1.3 million supporting other down-ballot Republicans, according to FEC filings. In all, Musk spent at least $273 million in support of various Republicans up and down the ballot at the federal level. Musk has been tapped to co-lead, along with Republican businessman and failed presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, an outside advisory board called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to cut as much as $2 trillion from the federal budget of what they called waste. The pair met with Republican leaders on the Hill Thursday to discuss their proposals including removing remote work options for federal workers.MELBOURNE: Spotify has just released its 2024 Spotify Wrapped, the music streaming site’s annual presentation of each user’s yearly listening habits. It gives you a fun recap of your most listened to songs, artists and genres from the past year – complete with stats like how many minutes you listened and your top genre “phases” or “moments”. The tradition has seized the cultural zeitgeist throughout the whole year, with a lot of online discourse surrounding what music will top your listens for the year. In addition to the exciting way the list is presented (aesthetically pleasing tiles, interactive elements), the answer to its ability to captivate may be found in one simple idea: We inherently like understanding ourselves. But what does this mean? We can unpack this further in the psychological theories of self-concept, social comparison and social connection. SELF-CONCEPT Self-concept is how we see ourselves. It develops from our experiences and our responses to these experiences. Music is one of those unique mediums that reflects what we’ve experienced (for example, a break-up) and how we feel (sadness and yearning). So, when we see a yearly list of our top artists, genres and songs, it’s like looking into a mirror that tells us who we’ve been throughout the year. This drive towards self-reflection is likely because it fulfils some of our most fundamental human needs. Remember that time when everyone was doing the Myers-Briggs personality test? In 1943, the American psychologist Abraham Maslow developed his theory of human needs. According to this theory, humans have a need for esteem (gaining respect and recognition within our communities) and self-actualisation (realisation of one’s potential). Neither of these can occur without first an understanding of who we currently are. Sharing a list, then, is a way of saying to others, “this is me!”. But sharing your Wrapped list serves more functions than simply self-expression. It facilitates social comparison and social connection. SOCIAL COMPARISON In 1954, American social psychologist Leon Festinger published his social comparison theory. He believed humans are naturally inclined to compare themselves to others. We constantly evaluate where we stand in relation to those around us. When you post your Wrapped list, you aren’t just saying, “this is what I listened to” or “this is who I am”. You’re also inviting others to engage in a subtle social dialogue. Seeing someone else with the same song on their list might spark a sense of connection. Seeing that you’re in the top 1 per cent of Taylor Swift fans might make you feel even a little superior (and others a little envious). (As a side note, I hope this happens to me again this year.) Seeing someone else’s Wrapped can also inspire and validate. If a friend’s list includes a mix of genres you’ve never explored, you might feel encouraged to branch out. Or you might see someone else’s list and feel relieved you’re not the only one obsessed with an artist. Whether conscious or subconscious, these comparisons drive engagement with Spotify. SOCIAL CONNECTION Sharing our Spotify Wrapped satisfies another fundamental human need: Belonging. Humans are inherently social creatures who want to feel loved and accepted. Music is one of the oldest ways we’ve connected with one another. Sharing our Wrapped lists isn’t just about showing off who we are, but about finding common ground. It’s about finding your tribe, a group of people we can feel safely connected to. This is even more important during a period in which people’s opinions are becoming more divided and for a younger generation where loneliness is becoming an increasing problem. BUILDING ON YOUR OWN WRAP This urge to know about yourself and to share is very human. This year, however, I challenge you to go beyond just dropping a like on someone’s story. Sure, the dopamine hit is great and is part of what keeps us coming back to this yearly ritual. But it takes more than that to meet our need for connection. This year, use Spotify Wrapped to start up a conversation with someone. Maybe about how their experiences and feelings this year led to the songs appearing on their list. You might learn something new about them and create or revitalise a meaningful connection. And that’s a wrap.

A high-tech medical clinic operated by a telecom giant has opened in Toronto — and it's accepting up to 6,000 patientsS&P/TSX composite up Friday, U.S. stock markets also rise7.0 earthquake off Northern California prompts brief tsunami warningWASHINGTON (AP) — Military leaders are rattled by a list of “woke” senior officers that a conservative group urged Pete Hegseth to dismiss for promoting diversity in the ranks if he is confirmed to lead the Pentagon. The list compiled by the American Accountability Foundation includes 20 general officers or senior admirals and a disproportionate number of female officers. It has had a chilling effect on the Pentagon’s often frank discussions as leaders try to figure out how to address the potential firings and diversity issues under President-elect Donald Trump. Those on the list in many cases seem to be targeted for public comments they made either in interviews or at events on diversity, and in some cases for retweeting posts that promote diversity. Tom Jones, a former aide to Republican senators who leads the foundation, said Friday that those on the list are “pretty egregious” advocates for diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, policies, which he called problematic. “The nominee has been pretty clear that that has no place in the military,” Jones said of Hegseth. Hegseth has embraced Trump’s effort to end programs that promote diversity in the ranks and fire those who reflect those values. Other Trump picks, like Kash Patel for FBI director, have suggested targeting those in government who are not aligned with Trump. But Hegseth has been fighting to save his nomination as he faces allegations of excessive drinking and sexual assault and over his views questioning the role of women in combat. He spent the week on Capitol Hill trying to win the support of Republican senators, who must confirm him to lead the Pentagon, doing a radio interview and penning an opinion column. Some service members have complained in the past about the Pentagon's DEI programs, saying they add to an already heavy workload. The Pentagon still has a long way to go in having a general officer corps or specialty occupations such as pilots that have a racial and gender makeup reflective of the country. A defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the list said senior leaders are hoping that once Trump is sworn in, they will be able to discuss the issue further. They are prepared to provide additional context to the incoming administration, the official told The Associated Press, which is not publishing the names to protect service members’ privacy. Former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Friday that the list would have “considerable, wide and deep consequences.” He said when military members see people singled out, they will start focusing on their own survival rather than the mission or their job. “You will drive people out,” Hagel said. “It affects morale as widely and deeply as anything — it creates a negative dynamic that will trickle through an organization." The list, which was first reported by The New York Post, includes nine Air Force general officers, seven Navy admirals of different ranks and four Army general officers. Eight of those 20 are women even though only 17% of the military is female. None are Marines. One female Navy officer was named because she gave a speech at a 2015 Women’s Equality Day event, where she noted that 80% of Congress is male, which affects what bills move forward. The officer also was targeted because she said “diversity is our strength.” The phrase is a widely distributed talking point that officers across the Pentagon have used for years to talk about the importance of having a military that reflects different educational, geographic, economic, gender and racial backgrounds in the country. An Air Force colonel, who is white, was called out for an opinion piece he wrote following the death of George Floyd, saying, “Dear white colonel, we must address our blind spots about race.” A female Air Force officer was targeted because of “multiple woke posts” on her X feed, including a tweet about LGBTQ rights, one about “whiteness” and another about honoring the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on a stamp. Another female Air Force officer was on the list because she “served as a panelist for a diversity, equity and inclusion” discussion in 2021. The list names an Army officer who traveled to 14 historically Black colleges to expand the military’s intelligence recruitment efforts, and an Air Force officer partly because he co-chairs the Asian-Pacific Islander subgroup of the service’s diversity task force. Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for the Trump transition team, said in a statement that “No policy should be deemed official unless it comes directly from President Trump.” But in an interview Wednesday for Megyn Kelly’s SiriusXM satellite radio show, Hegseth said Trump told him he wanted a “warfighter” who would clean out the “woke crap.” Hegseth got a boost Friday from Trump, who posted on his social media site that Hegseth “will be a fantastic, high energy, Secretary of Defense.” The president-elect added that “Pete is a WINNER, and there is nothing that can be done to change that!!!” Jones told the AP in June that his American Accountability Foundation was investigating scores of federal employees suspected of being hostile to Trump's policies. The work aligns with the Heritage Foundation’s far-reaching Project 2025 blueprint for a conservative administration. A letter Jones sent to Hegseth containing the list, dated Tuesday, says “purging the woke from the military is imperative.” The letter points to tensions with Iran, Russia and China and says “we cannot afford to have a military distracted and demoralized by leftist ideology. Our nation’s security is at stake.” Conservatives view the federal workforce as overstepping its role to become a power center that can drive or thwart a president’s agenda. During the first Trump administration, government officials came under attack from the White House and congressional Republicans, as Trump's own Cabinet often raised objections to some of his more singular or even unlawful proposals.
