Qatar tribune dpa Luxembourg Former European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker looked back at his relationship with re-elected US president Donald Trump in an interview with dpa. “You should treat Trump with respect and take what he says seriously and conduct substantive negotiations with him,” he said. “Not everything Trump puts forward is automatically topsy-turvy.” Juncker, who turned 70 on Monday, served as European Commission president from 2014 until 2019 and as Luxembourg’s prime minister between 1995 and 2013. When trade tensions between the European Union and the United States heightened during his tenure as commission president, the two politicians “found an understanding” which helped avoid further escalations, Juncker said. At the time, Trump had just raised tariffs on aluminium from the EU, complained about car imports and threatened a trade war. Juncker offered Trump increased imports of liquid gas and soya beans. To the surprise of observers, the threat of a trade war was averted and Trump shared a picture of the two embracing in the Oval Office on social media. Trump is “not the kind of man who concludes big agreements - he prefers a deal.” Turning to the bloc, Juncker said that the EU was not in a real crisis, but more people were favouring national positions over European ones and governments were less interested in the EU. The increasing role of social media is leading to “a flattening of political debates in Europe,” he said. Copy 10/12/2024 10No. 21 Creighton's Steven Ashworth doubtful for Players Era Festival opener against AztecsA handful of Fresno Unified paraprofessional employees who work with autistic children at Ericson Elementary School returned Wednesday evening to tell the School Board that recent job reassignments are making their classrooms less safe and cutting into education time. It was their second trip this month to address the board at the Nutrition Center on Brawley Avenue, where trustees are meeting while their downtown headquarters is being renovated. And the paraprofessionals say they plan to keep coming until someone does something. Until this month, four Ericson staffers were teaming up with a teacher in a classroom where children from preschool through kindergarten age with moderate to severe autism get lessons on socialization and learning their ABCs. The sooner in life that children with autism can get the kind of intensive support that the Ericson team has been providing, the likelier that someday they will have the skills to be able to join general education classes and interact — and learn from — other youngsters as they progress through school. When they arrive at Ericson, many of the youngsters are still in diapers and require physical care as well as close supervision to keep them from physical altercations with other students or from hurting teachers and paraprofessionals. Unlike teachers, paraprofessionals do not have a teaching credential and are classified, not certificated, employees. But they participate in educational activities, augmenting the work of the classroom teachers. District Seeks ‘Baseline’ Staffing Levels But starting on Nov. 7, the dynamics of their Ericson class changed when two staffers were transferred to Mayfair Elementary School, at the same time that two new students were added to the class. It’s part of the district’s move toward “baseline” numbers of staffers across the district, district human resources officials told GV Wire. The district worked with the CSEA union this summer to conduct hiring fairs to fill 1,000 paraprofessional vacancies, some of whom were hired to work with special education students, and were able to fill about 85% of them, said Annarita Howell, assistant superintendent of labor relations. Once the school year began, the district began to examine assignments and staffing levels, including after classes were “leveled” and new rooms were opened, she said. When programs are moved, staff are moved with them, Howell said. The district has already moved about 20 to 25 staffers and may move more after the winter holiday break, she said. After the end of the COVID pandemic the district took a hard look at staffing and realized that some schools had more staffers than others, leading to the reassignments this year, Howell said. But Fresno Unified is not blind to the fact that some students need additional support, and HR officials are meeting with district staff to match enrollment needs to staffing assignments, she said. Student Needs, Not Staff Levels However, baseline staffing does not take into account the needs of students, say the paraprofessionals. The Ericson class added two students while losing one of the two staffers who went to Mayfair. “All they’re doing is looking at numbers. They’re just looking at how many staff we had compared to how many students we had,” said paraprofessional Janetta Routson. “They’re not coming into classrooms and looking at things and figuring out why we have so much staff.” The remaining staff is strapped and unable to do little more than provide daycare, said Brooke Acosta, one of the two staffers who was transferred to Mayfair. “It’s sad and disappointing that our room and other classrooms throughout the district are having to be run more like a daycare and not a school because we cannot run academics and keep the kids safe at the same time,” she said at Wednesday’s board meeting. After Wednesday’s board meeting, several staffers rolled up their sleeves to show bite marks and pinch marks that their young charges have given them. Parent Worried About Son Mai Xiong, an Ericson parent, said she’s concerned about the safety of her son, a transitional kindergartner now in his second year at Ericson. “Taking my son to school every day is like me putting my trust on the staff there and for them not going to have enough staff, it’s kind of, you know, it’s the unknown. You worry every day for the sake of their child,” she told the board. Staff is stretched so thin at Ericson that they no longer have the time to work with parents such as Xiong on how they can continue lessons from the classroom when they’re home with their kids. Doing so can help accelerate learning opportunities for children with autism, Routson said. “It helped parents to come in and see what we are doing with students and then they can take some of what we do home and use it at home as well, which I’ve seen Miss Mai do, and it’s amazing,” she said. “But now we can’t invite parents into the classroom because we don’t have the staff to hold events like that. So it’s really taking away from them as well.”
Modern Wolfenstein developer MachineGames is taking some big swings with its new project, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle , and that includes the game's scope. Indy's adventure is apparently going to be the lengthiest game the studio has ever put together. "By far this is the biggest and longest game that Machine Games have ever done," creative director Axel Torvenius said in a rapid-fire interview session with MinnMax. He doesn't get specific about the exact hour count, but according to HowLongToBeat , Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus both clock in around the 11-17 hour range, depending on much side content you undertake. With Indy placing more emphasis on puzzles and exploration, it's easy to see how it might eclipse the studio's previous games. Asked how many hours of cutscenes are in the game, Torvenius says "there's roughly three hours and 45 or 40 minutes or something along those lines. It's a lot." That's roughly in line with the non-interactive parts of Wolfenstein 2, as YouTube supercuts of that game's cutscenes run between three and four hours, depending on the fan who's doing the editing. The whole interview is a fun watch if you're jonesing for more details on the game. Some other key info includes the fact that, unlike the missteps of Star Wars Outlaws , Indy will feature no instant fail stealth missions. We also learn for certain that this is the Indiana Jones game Todd Howard pitched back in 2009 , and the basic story outline of the Great Circle has survived for 15 years. (Also, yes, we've already corrected that "Indiana James" typo.) Bethesda's Todd Howard told Troy Baker he didn't want him to star in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, but after "a blind taste test, people chose you every time."

Published 4:13 pm Thursday, December 5, 2024 By Blake Bell An officer-involved shooting that killed 19-year-old Amarion Thomas Wednesday in a neighborhood on Bazinsky Road has been taken over by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) this week, while Vicksburg Police Department (VPD) continues to work a related case involving a now-jailed 17-year-old suspect. Thursday, Vicksburg Chief of Police Penny Jones said the genesis of Wednesday’s shooting was a call about attempted automobile burglaries in late November on Commerce Street. “ I want to address the community regarding the officer-involved shooting that occurred recently, resulting in the unfortunate loss of life,” Jones said. “I understand that emotions are high, and questions are being raised. It’s important to clarify what happened and assure you that the facts are being handled with transparency and integrity. On November 29, 2024, officers responded to a call about suspicious individuals who were burglarizing vehicles. Upon arriving, one of our officers was fired upon, with bullets striking the patrol car. This unprovoked attack escalated the situation, leading officers to pursue the suspects on foot. During the investigation, evidence was recovered linking the individuals to the assault on a police officer. As a result, warrants were issued.” Jones said that information led officers to a home on Bazinsky Road, where VPD was attempting to serve a warrant prior to Wednesday’s shooting. “Later, (officers) were able to get some evidence to identify the people that were involved,” Jones said. “We were later able to make an arrest on one particular subject, who is 17 years old, and he had his initial (court) appearance today in county court. We went yesterday to execute a warrant on the other subject, who was involved. Once the officers arrived, a gun was displayed and officers took action, and unfortunately, it ended in that person’s life being ended.” Jones said the 17-year-old suspect has been identified as Artrial Bingham. While Bingham’s charges have not yet been released, Jones said he is being identified by name due to being charged as an adult. In the hours following Wednesday’s shooting, the case was turned over to MBI, per state protocol. Thursday, both Jones and Police Commissioner and Mayor George Flaggs Jr. said city officials’ thoughts are with the families of both the suspect and the officer involved in Wednesday’s shooting. “While the incident remains under active investigation, we can confirm that the officer involved was not physically harmed,” Flaggs said. “Tragically, the individual involved in this incident lost their life. Our thoughts are with all those impacted, including the family and loved ones of the individual who lost their life, as well as our officer and their family. As is standard procedure, an outside agency, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, has been brought in to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation. This ensures that the process remains transparent and that all facts are evaluated fairly.” “ I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the family of the young man who lost his life,” Jones said Thursday. “No loss of life is taken lightly, and we recognize the pain his family is feeling. At the same time, prayers for the officers at our agency.” Jones also acknowledged threats toward VPD officers that have been made – predominantly online – in the 24 hours following Wednesday’s shooting. “We understand emotions run high during difficult incidents, but spreading misinformation on social media without knowing the facts can have serious consequences. Speculating or sharing false information not only fuels confusion but also puts people at risk of harm or legal trouble. We urge everyone to be responsible and allow the facts to come out through proper channels.”
