Another possible reason for Lauro's exclusion from the Double Crown and Golden Boot consideration could be the lack of recognition for his overall contribution to his team. While he may be racking up goals and assists at an impressive rate, the impact he has on the field goes beyond just statistics. His ability to create space for his teammates, his work rate off the ball, and his leadership qualities are all essential components of his game that may not always be fully appreciated by those voting for these awards.Shi Yuqi, the talented Chinese badminton player, recently captured the Best Men's Singles title with a mix of surprise and gratitude.

In today's digital age, social media and technology play a significant role in shaping how we communicate and interact with others. While parents may have the best intentions in mind when monitoring their children's online activities, there is a fine line between guidance and over-control. One recent case that has sparked concern is that of a father exerting excessive control over his 14-year-old daughter's social life.TORONTO — Canada's main stock index gained more than 350 points Thursday in a broad rally led by energy and technology stocks, while U.S. markets also rose, led by a one-per-cent gain on the Dow. The S&P/TSX composite index closed up 354.22 points at 25,390.68. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 461.88 points at 43,870.35. The S&P 500 index was up 31.60 points at 5,948.71, while the Nasdaq composite was up 6.28 points at 18,972.42. The Nasdaq lagged an otherwise decent day for Wall St., rising just 0.03 per cent as it was dragged down by Google parent Alphabet and some of its tech giant peers. The tech company’s stock fell 4.6 per cent after U.S. regulators asked a judge to break it up by forcing a sale of the Chrome web browser. Amazon shares traded down 2.2 per cent while Meta and Apple both moved lower as well. After a substantial run for major tech stocks this year, that kind of news “shakes people a bit,” said John Zechner, chairman and lead equity manager at J. Zechner Associates. Meanwhile, semiconductor giant Nvidia saw its stock tick up modestly by 0.5 per cent after it reported earnings Wednesday evening. The company yet again beat expectations for profit and revenue, and gave a better revenue forecast for the current quarter than expected. But expectations for Nvidia have been so high amid the optimism over artificial intelligence that even beating forecasts wasn’t enough to send its stock flying the way it has in previous quarters, said Zechner. Nvidia essentially caps earnings season in the U.S., with companies largely beating expectations, said Zechner — though those expectations weren’t exactly lofty for companies outside the tech and AI sphere, he added. The Dow led major U.S. markets as the post-election hopes for economic growth continued to fuel a broadening of market strength, said Zechner. There are a lot of unknowns when it comes to U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, said Zechner, and there’s no guarantee he will do what he’s promised. “There’s a lot of unknowns, but for now the markets seem to be assuming that whatever comes of this, the U.S. will continue to lead global growth,” he said. However, some of Trump’s promises — chief among them widespread tariffs on imports — have sparked bets that inflation may rear its head again. The market has pared back its expectations for interest rate cuts as a result, said Zechner. “Nobody’s talking about a half-point cut, that’s for sure,” he said. The Canadian dollar traded for 71.63 cents US compared with 71.46 cents US on Wednesday. The January crude oil contract was up US$1.35 at US$70.10 per barrel and the January natural gas contract was up nine cents at US$3.48 per mmBTU. The December gold contract was up US$23.20 at US$2,674.90 an ounce and the December copper contract was down three cents at US$4.13 a pound. — With files from The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 21, 2024.

Off-field controversies and personal issues also contributed to Stef K's fall from grace, further tarnishing his reputation and diminishing his market value. Despite numerous attempts to revive his career and regain his form, Stef K has so far been unable to recapture the magic that made him a star at Inter Milan.MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Moments after the Patriots took a 34-15 blowout on the chin Sunday at Miami, Drake Maye said the only direction his team can go is up. But as the Pats fight to climb back, Maye doesn’t want them to forget what it feels like at the bottom. “Like I’ve always said, I hate losing more than I really like to win. Losing sucks, and I think just — I told some guys, just remember this feeling,” the rookie quarterback said. “Remember this feeling of really getting our butts whooped today.” Maye finished 22-of-37 for 222 yards, one touchdown and an interception in defeat. He also got strip-sacked in the third quarter, a turnover that two plays later led to a Dolphins touchdown. With that score, Miami led 31-0 and dropped the Patriots into their largest deficit of the season. Maye finally got the Patriots on the board with a 38-yard touchdown heave on fourth-and-15 early in the fourth quarter. He scrambled away from pressure and eventually found tight end Austin Hooper wide open down the middle of the field. But later, after Christian Gonzalez’ scoop-and-score fumble return touchdown, Maye sealed the Patriots’ defeat with another pass under pressure that resulted in an interception. The rookie spoke post-game to the balance of trying to create offense for a struggling team, while also protecting the ball. “I think it’s hard. It’s hard to balance and try to make plays and keep drives alive,” Maye said. “Just trying to make something happen, give us a little light. It ended up happening. Gonzo put us back in the ball game and then (I) go down there and turn the ball back over. So (it’s) tough and frustrating. I know we have better football ahead of us, and this wasn’t our best product today.” Over seven career starts, Maye has simultaneously exceeded expectations, inspired hope for the Patriots’ future and occasionally set them back with seven interceptions and five fumbles. But he believes games like Sunday’s will eventually become more of an exception than the rule, as the Pats pushes through the pain of another blowout defeat. “We have a bright future and bright players in there,” Maye said, “that are going to make some plays for the Patriots.”

(AP) — South Carolina coach Dawn Staley is not in panic mode, even if some of famous “Fams” are following her team's first loss in two seasons. The Gamecocks had won 85 of their previous 86 games, including a program record 43 in a row before falling to UCLA 77-62 this past Sunday.
