Tweet Facebook Mail A major mosquito outbreak in south-west Sydney has been contained in a "round the clock" operation that cleared the pests from a significant water facility, Sydney Water said. In late October, Liverpool Council contacted Sydney Water about a surge in mosquito populations near Chipping Norton, suspected to be linked to the oxiponds at the Liverpool Water Resource Recovery Facility. Sydney Water collaborated with the council to tackle the issue. READ MORE: Scorching heat, fire warnings as millions swelter A helicopter sprays ponds to fight a mosquito infestation in Liverpool.

The loss is the seventh straight for the Lions. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .By JILL COLVIN NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump wants to turn the lights out on daylight saving time. In a post on his social media site Friday, Trump said his party would try to end the practice when he returns to office. “The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation,” he wrote. Setting clocks forward one hour in the spring and back an hour in the fall is intended to maximize daylight during summer months, but has long been subject to scrutiny. Daylight saving time was first adopted as a wartime measure in 1942. Lawmakers have occasionally proposed getting rid of the time change altogether. The most prominent recent attempt, a now-stalled bipartisan bill named the Sunshine Protection Act , had proposed making daylight saving time permanent. The measure was sponsored by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio , whom Trump has tapped to helm the State Department.

Rick Scott of Florida said as the Senate voted in favor of the measure. Health experts have said that lawmakers have it backward and that standard time should be made permanent. Some health groups , including the American Medical Association and American Academy of Sleep Medicine, have said that it’s time to do away with time switches and that sticking with standard time aligns better with the sun — and human biology. Most countries do not observe daylight saving time. For those that do, the date that clocks are changed varies, creating a complicated tapestry of changing time differences. Arizona and Hawaii don’t change their clocks at all.None

(AP) — Spencer Knight made 20 saves, Mackie Samoskevich scored with less than a second left in the second period, and the Florida Panthers got four goals in the third to beat the Carolina Hurricanes 6-0 on Saturday and complete a two-day sweep. Aleksander Barkov, Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad, Evan Rodrigues and Adam Boqvist also scored for Florida, which won 6-3 at Carolina on Friday. The Panthers have won three straight — that streak following a stretch of six losses in seven games for the Stanley Cup champions. It was Knight's fourth career shutout, his first since Nov. 9, 2022 — also at home against Carolina. Spencer Martin made 23 saves on 28 shots for the Hurricanes, who have dropped four of their last six games (2-3-1). It was Martin's fourth consecutive start for Carolina. Hurricanes: This was the first time all season that the Hurricanes failed to get a point in the game immediately following a loss. Carolina was 4-0-1 after a defeat entering Saturday. Panthers: A big day for Samoskevich — his alma mater Michigan beat Ohio State in football on Saturday, that game ending just before the Florida-Carolina game started. The Panthers are 5-0-0 when he scores this season. Sam Reinhart had each of the four most recent Florida goals at 19:59, before Samoskevich got his Saturday. The Panthers scored two goals 11 seconds apart in the third to make it 5-0, and Yaniv Perets replaced Martin in the Hurricanes' net with 8:12 remaining. It was the second NHL appearance for Perets, who came on once in relief for Carolina last season. Ekblad's goal was his first in a span of 1,045 regular-season shifts since Feb. 20. Carolina starts a two-game homestand Tuesday against Seattle. Florida goes to Pittsburgh to start a two-game trip on Tuesday. AP NHL: https://www.apnews.com/hub/NHL

An Elyria-based Synagogue will hold a Hanukkah event for the community Dec. 15. Temple B’nai Abraham, 530 Gulf Road, is a reform Jewish congregation and serves Cleveland’s west side. The temple offers Shabbat services on Friday nights and holds an active Jewish religion school. “We are completely inclusive and welcoming to all people in the community,” said Spiritual Leader Cantor Laurel Barr. Hanukkah celebrates the finding of the holy jar of oil that lit the candelabra for eight days, Barr said. The Temple will feature several greasy foods to commemorate the occasion, she said. “Because of the miracle of oil, it’s customary to eat foods that are fried and very greasy,” Barr said. “We’ll have potato pancakes, or latkes and jelly doughnuts.” The event also will feature games like dreidel, bingo and sing-along Hanukkah songs, she said. Community members are urged to bring unwrapped toys for a donation. Hanukkah officially begins on the evening of Dec. 25. Barr emphasized there’s a reason as to why the holiday occurs in the darkest month of the year. “It’s an interesting thought that this holiday occurs in the darkest and coldest month of the year,” she said. “By lighting our Hanukkah candles to shine in the window, we are publicly displaying the miracle and increasing warmth in the world.” The celebration will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Barr said she hopes the celebration will unite the community. “I think this is a difficult time for Jews,” she said. “Reaching out and creating stronger community ties, is very important.”
Immigration measures announced as part of Canada’s border response to president-elect Donald Trump’s 25 per cent tariff threat are starting to be implemented, beginning with a ban on what’s known as “flagpoling.” This is when someone who was in Canada on a temporary visa leaves for the U.S. then quickly re-enters Canada to access immigration services at a port of entry. The restriction on providing work and study permits to flagpolers takes effect today. Last week, Immigration Minister Marc Miller said that going forward temporary visa holders will have to apply online to extend their stay in Canada. The Canadian Border Services Agency processed more than 69,300 people who engaged in flagpoling in the 2023-2024 fiscal year. There are still rare exceptions where a person will be granted a work or study permit even though they meet the definition of flagpoling, including international truck drivers with a work permit, professionals under certain free trade agreements and American citizens. Miller first announced the plan to ban the practice on Dec. 17, alongside Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc who promised a border control package worth $1.3 billion. This includes removing the point value for having a job offer in Canada’s express entry immigration system. The stated goal of this change is to reduce and prevent immigration fraud. In a social media post, Miller said this will take effect in the spring and that it will be a temporary measure. A broader review of the express entry program is being conducted, and a future decision on the value of a job offer in that system will be made at that time. A labour market impact assessment, a key document required for an employer to hire a foreign worker, is currently worth 50 to 200 points in the express entry system. Applicants are not supposed to pay for these, but a black market has emerged where people are charging tens of thousands of dollars for these documents. Applications that are already in progress won’t be affected once this change takes effect. Miller also said the government is looking at ways to streamline Canada’s asylum system at that Dec. 17 press conference. This includes exploring options to “quickly deal with” illegitimate claims. The government’s broader border measures plan to respond to Trump’s 25 per cent tariff threat also includes enhanced aerial surveillance and drug detection efforts."Sclerotic gerontocracy": Lawmaker's struggle with dementia revives criticism of elderly politicians
Kotak Education unveils spoken English projectHow Battery Management Systems Are Revolutionizing Electric Vehicle Safety And Performance | Future Market Insights, Inc.NEW YORK — A witness recently testified before the federal grand jury that indicted Mayor Eric Adams on corruption charges this fall, his attorney revealed in a court filing Tuesday — indicating the Turkey-related investigation into the mayor is still very active. The filing from Alex Spiro, Adams’ lead defense attorney, identified the witness by initials. The initials were redacted from the filing, making the identity of the witness unclear. Spiro did write that a “credible source” told him this past Sunday that the New York Times has confirmed the identity of the witness “who recently testified before the grand jury and the sum and substance of that witness’s testimony.” As of late Tuesday morning, The Times had not published any story about new grand jury testimony in the Adams probe. Spiro argued the only “plausible source” for the information he says was obtained by the newspaper is the federal authorities leading the investigation into the mayor. Though Manhattan Federal Court Judge Dale Ho already rejected a request from Spiro last month for an evidentiary hearing into his claims about illegal grand jury leaks from prosecutors, Spiro says the judge should reconsider in light of the latest alleged disclosures. Reiterating his past request, Spiro wrote in his new filing that Ho should sanction prosecutors over the alleged leaks “up to and including dismissal of the indictment.” He also wrote that the judge should put an indefinite pause on all grand jury proceedings until an evidentiary hearing can be held. “To prevent further inevitable leaks, the Court should exercise its equitable powers and halt any further grand jury proceedings pending the hearing and resolution of this motion,” he wrote. A spokesman fort the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office, which indicted Adams, didn’t immediately return a request for comment. Spiro didn’t respond to emailed questions Tuesday about the recent grand jury testimony. In a sign he is displeased with the nature of the new grand jury testimony, Spiro wrote it “falsely suggests” something, though it’s unclear what that something is as the rest of the sentence is redacted in his filing. The grand jury indicted Adams in September on five criminal counts alleging he solicited bribes and illegal campaign cash, mostly from Turkish government operatives, in exchange for political favors. Adams has pleaded not guilty and is expected to stand trial in April — just weeks before he faces several challengers in June’s Democratic mayoral primary. Spiro’s latest filing comes after prosecutors from the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office said in open court in October they were “quite likely” to bring a superseding indictment charging the mayor with more crimes. The revelation that the grand jury has heard more testimony in recent weeks suggests prosecutors are still pursuing new evidence. Manhattan feds wrote in a filing Monday that Erden Arkan, a Turkish-born businessman referenced in Adams’ indictment as one of his co-conspirators, has informed them he plans to plead guilty to his role in funneling illegal straw donations to the mayor’s 2021 campaign on behalf of the Turkish government. Arkan hasn’t returned requests for comment this week. ------- With Josephine Stratman ------- ©2024 New York Daily News. Visit at nydailynews.com . Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
Mystery drones over U.S. calls for specialized response, Senator Chuck Schumer says( MENAFN - Jordan Times) Much of the apprehension in US domestic discourse over President-elect Donald Trump's recent election success is echoed by foreign nations. They view his foreign policies as vague and ambiguous, making it difficult to predict their effects on the global stage. Trump's domestic and foreign policies are deeply intertwined, with the strongest evidence found in his“Make America Great Again” motto-a nationalistic slogan that is not abstract, but comparative. This motto implies that the United States should surpass its rivals in military strength, technological advancement, economic power, and global influence. If this indeed marks a new American political paradigm, the world is about to enter a different era-one in which economic dominance becomes the ultimate ideal. As a result, longstanding“isms” such as pluralism, humanitarianism, capitalism, equitism, and even human rights could be reshaped and subjected to new practices. Thomas Piketty's groundbreaking 2014 book Capital in the Twenty-First Century stunned the world with its data on the dramatic concentration and inequality of wealth in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Piketty shows that profits have surged, particularly when compared to stagnant wages, and he warns that unless governments address this imbalance, capitalism itself may not survive the upheavals that will inevitably follow. Trump, set to take office in less than two months, will assume power with control of both houses of Congress, backed by the momentum and support he has garnered. His cabinet picks so far appear to be ideological allies, ready to align with his policies and executive decisions. Among his key recruits are major figures like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel, tech industry giants poised to drive his“Make America Great Again” agenda. This paves the way for what I would call a“Wealthocracy,” a term that perhaps better captures today's reality than“plutocracy.” Unlike a plutocracy, where the wealthy influence government, a wealthocracy sees them directly shaping and executing policy, effectively blurring the divide between the private and public spheres. This strategy threatens to stoke rivalries among the world's superpowers, leaving smaller nations scrambling to avoid being trampled. For Jordan, this situation presents a complex, nearly impossible dilemma-a true catch-22. Jordan's best hope may be its ability to navigate the narrow corridors of regional and global power struggles, perhaps forced to yield to the demands of powerful nations and accommodate contradictory pressures. Historically, Jordan has weathered various forms of complex situations, positioning itself as a model of respect for human rights, free from double standards, and committed to inalienable rights. But in a world driven by ruthless, self-interested calculations, will this stance hold relevance? Will the world simply accept this emerging order, or will there be resistance? In Jordan, our policy decisions are shaped by navigating a vector of conflicting local, regional, and international interests-what we often call, euphemistically, resilience. It must always be remembered that Jordan, along with the entirety of its institutions, is firmly committed to the belief that any future regional projects aimed at fostering coexistence among Middle Easterners, cannot, and must not overlook Jordan's spirit, strategic geopolitical position, and exemplary sense of justice. Despite expected paradigm shifts in the management of world affairs, where an interest-focused approach could dominate international relations, Jordan's role will continue to hold on to those ideals; they are essential in facilitating the achievement of a comprehensive and sustainable peace. The upcoming Trump administration has a tentative and sketchy plan, which merely outlines a path toward peace and remains contingent upon Saudi Arabia's role as a key negotiating actor. While Jordan plays an active part in these negotiations, it views its pivotal role as the solidifying force for that peace, helping sustain it for the entire region.
