OTTAWA — Pat King, one of the most prominent figures of the 2022 "Freedom Convoy" in Ottawa, has been found guilty on five counts including mischief and disobeying a court order. A judge in an Ottawa courtroom Friday said the Crown proved beyond a reasonable doubt that King was guilty on one count each of mischief, counselling others to commit mischief and counselling others to obstruct police. He was also found guilty of two counts of disobeying a court order. The Alberta resident was found not guilty on three counts of intimidation and one count of obstructing police himself. King could be facing up to 10 years in prison. The sentencing hearing is scheduled to begin on Jan. 16. The Crown is seeking "significant" incarceration time in a penitentiary while the defence wants King to be sentenced to time served and a period of probation. King's attorney Natasha Calvinho said right now she is focused on the sentencing hearing and will determine if any other action, such as an appeal, will be pursued at a later date. Calvinho said she and her client are disappointed with the ruling, but she said it was well reasoned. "I think what the more important takeaway here, and what we've been saying from the very beginning, Mr. King was acquitted of all charges related to inciting any form of violence, specifically intimidation of Ottawa residents," Calvinho said outside the courthouse. "So yes, he was convicted, a couple counts of mischief for his social media posts, as the judge found, and will continue to fight another day." The maximum sentence for mischief in this instance is 10 years. In January 2022 the convoy attracted thousands of demonstrators to Parliament Hill in protest against public-health restrictions, COVID-19 vaccine mandates and the federal government. The event gridlocked downtown streets around Parliament Hill, with area residents complaining about the fumes from diesel engines running non-stop, and unrelenting noise from constant honking of horns and music parties. The federal Liberal government ultimately invoked the Emergencies Act to try and bring an end to the protests, which had expanded to also block several border crossings into the United States. Ottawa Police brought in hundreds of officers from police forces across Canada to force the protest to an end. King's defence argued that King was peacefully protesting during the three-week demonstration and was not a leader of it. But the Crown alleged he was a protest leader who was instrumental to the disruption the protest caused the city and people who lived and worked nearby. The Crown alleged King co-ordinated the honking, ordering protesters to lay on the horn every 30 minutes for 10 minutes at a time and told people to "hold the line" when he was aware police and the city had asked the protesters to leave. The Crown's case relied mainly on King's own videos, which he posted to social media throughout the protest to document the demonstration and communicate with protesters. The court proceedings paused for about 10 minutes when King requested a short "health break" after the first verdicts on the mischief charges were read. Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland described the honking as "malicious conduct" intended to disrupt residents, workers, businesses and others from lawfully enjoying downtown Ottawa. Hackland also said that the videos show King was seen as and accepted the leadership role. He pointed to a quote from King, finding it "hilarious" that residents could not sleep for 10 days as "gleefully" aiding and abetting mischief. This evidence also played a role in determining King's guilt in disobeying a court order and counselling others to do the same. These charges relate to the original Feb. 7, 2022 injunction against using air and train horns in downtown Ottawa which was launched by residents. The city successfully filed a similar injunction days later. As for counselling others to obstruct police, Hackland found King's call to "hold the line" was telling people not to move from the protest site despite police orders. The judge said that phrase can be seen as a greeting between supporters of the convoy protest, but said there was no other logical interpretation in the context of King's videos. In the days before a multi-day police removal operation began, King called on people to link arms and sit down with their backs to police if officers tried to move them. On the intimidation charges, Hackland said that a consistent theme of King's videos were calls to remain peaceful and non-violent. He said that the target was always the federal government and COVID-19 policies, and specific individuals were not targeted by or through King's actions. As for an intimidation charge related to blocking highways, Hackland said that finding guilt in this instance would be an "overly broad" interpretation of the Criminal Code as the blockade was done as part of a political protest, which is protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. His trial was heard over several weeks between May and July. King still has charges of perjury and obstruction of justice that need to be dealt with which is a separate matter stemming from an April 2022 bail review hearing. Details of the testimony that led to the charges are protected under a publication ban, which exists for all information that arises during a bail hearing.

Anne-Mette Elkjær Andersen Joins Tannenbaum Helpern as Partner in the Firm's Corporate Practice Group

Max Stock Limited Announces Change in Shares Held by an Interested PartyOne Crowley ISD high school’s football season has come to an end, while another’s — just 3 miles away — will see at least one more game. Though Crowley High School fell to Denton Guyer High School Nov. 30 in a 44-7 loss in its Class 6A Division II regional, North Crowley High School advanced to the quarterfinals of the Class 6A Division I tournament after its Nov. 30 win against Coppell High School. North Crowley, located near the border of Fort Worth and Crowley, is the only public high school team from Fort Worth that still has a chance to win a trophy and bring a state championship to the city. Down 21-13 with just minutes remaining in the first half against Coppell, North Crowley found itself in unfamiliar territory. During the team’s historic 10-0 regular season — which propelled them to No. 9 in MaxPrep’s national high school football rankings — the Panthers had taken a losing score into halftime just once, against DeSoto High School in early September. The game ended with a 57-51 North Crowley win. Get essential daily news for the Fort Worth area. Sign up for insightful, in-depth stories — completely free. Since then, North Crowley has outscored opponents 622-125 on its path to the regional finals. In the final minutes of the first half, and the entirety of the second half of Saturday’s game, North Crowley outscored Coppell 21-3 on its way to a 35-24 win to reach the quarterfinals. The win forces a case of deja vu for the Panthers, who will take on Allen High School for the second year in a row at 2 p.m. Dec. 7. North Crowley, now 13-0, will aim to end its opponent’s similarly flawless season at Mansfield’s Vernon Newsom Stadium. Crowley High School, which has earned only eight seasons above a .500 win percentage out of its last 20, ended its historic 8-5 season with a loss to Denton Guyer High School. Crowley found itself down 30-0 at halftime and was never able to recover, scoring a single touchdown in the third quarter to avoid a shutout.

(Marshall Gardner | Cowtown Images) Despite the loss, Crowley’s 8-5 record is the school’s best performance in football since the 2019-20 season, when the Eagles went 9-2 but lost to Colleyville Heritage High School in a bi-district playoff game. Though North Crowley High School is the final public high school team within Fort Worth still standing, one other Tarrant County school is still in the running. Southlake Carroll High School will face the team that ended Crowley High’s playoff hopes when it takes the field against Denton Guyer at 2:30 p.m. Dec. 7 in the Class 6A Division II quarterfinals.

To contribute, click here . ••• Dick Schwartz’s Thanksgiving Day commentary, “The year a mother’s turkey encountered a son’s new vegetarian ways” was an utter delight. A wonderful and refreshing change from the usual holier-than-thou rants about progressive insanity or conservative evil. The rants are now tedious. This was the opposite to me. Uplifting, giving me a smile, and relatable. What son or daughter hasn’t gotten sideways with Mom because we did something young and stupid? Just a wonderful thing to read. Michael Heiser, Eden Prairie ••• I read with some perplexity the expressions of horror over suggesting that cannabis could be a part of Thanksgiving celebrations (Readers Write, Dec. 2). A simple substitution illustrates it better: “Apparently there are people who want to add the odor of [alcohol] to the smell of turkey and pumpkin pie. ... What will the safe dose be for the children at the feast? How will anyone keep the little ones away if everyone is so mellow? What will be the safe dose for the designated drivers driving, or staggering away, from grandmother’s house?” If you’re serving alcohol at your own Thanksgiving celebration, don’t presume to lecture others about cannabis. Steve Hoffmann, Anoka ••• First, to the Minnesota Star Tribune Editorial Board regarding a quote from “Thankful, mindful, hopeful, realistic” (editorial, Nov. 28): “Be thankful for free and fair elections, and for the peaceful transfer of presidential power that has endured throughout our nation’s history.” You all must have missed the insurrection and the unpeaceful transfer of power following the 2020 election. Second, I also agree with the writer of “Let’s take it a step further” (Readers Write, Nov. 28) that civics should be taught in schools. Marla Riemer, Maple Grove Keep holding Trump accountable There were two versions of Donald Trump’s call with Mexico. Thanks to the Minnesota Star Tribune for making this front-page news (”2 versions of Trump call with Mexico,” Nov. 29). MAGA media was already trying to promote Trump as a brilliant negotiator with his 25% tariff gambit, supposedly causing Mexico’s president Claudia Sheinbaum to cave in to his demands. The truth is, Mexico had already responded to President Joe Biden’s negotiations that resulted in a 75% reduction in border apprehensions since December 2023. I trust the Star Tribune will also continue to call out Trump, the consummate credit-grabber, for claiming he is responsible for the infrastructure transformation, new factories being built, significant job gains and huge private investments that are the result of Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and CHIPS and Science Act. Please keep reminding people of all the promises that Trump made to the workers of this country that he will not keep, while he makes sure his billionaire buddies get their tax breaks made permanent. Roland Hayes, Shoreview ••• Why do I believe the president of Mexico is telling the truth and not the newly elected president of the United States. So, so sad. Four years of lies. Bill White, Eagan Bremer’s sale is good for Minnesota It’s disappointing that Evan Ramstad felt compelled to criticize the leaders of Bremer Bank for the announced sale to Old National Bank ( ”Bremer Bank’s inglorious ending,” Nov. 26). The Bremer management team has strong integrity and character and, importantly, expert judgment about what is best for the shareholders, employees and communities Bremer serves. While it’s easy to think prior arrangements that never had firm footing would have been better, litigation caused a change in approach, or remaining independent is better for Minnesota, Ramstad fails to address the fundamental shifts occurring in the banking industry. Progressing regulation, rapidly advancing technology and intense competition are leading all banks to re-evaluate their strategy, and consolidation is a critical element of improving scale that addresses the numerous environmental challenges. What is best for Minnesota is a solid and competitive banking sector, and I am confident Old National and Bremer will help ensure this. Benefiting from my 35-year career in banking, this is how Bremer’s shareholders, employees and communities will succeed. Elliot Jaffee, Minneapolis The writer is the former executive vice president of U.S. Bank. Well, I’m staying I have read with amusement the recent debate on the opinion pages between people vowing to either keep or cancel their subscriptions to the Star Tribune. It amazes me the degree to which people become exercised and the myriad subjects that push their buttons. Well, I’m staying. Even though the agenda and mission of the Star Tribune’s columnists and the great majority of the Editorial Board are anathema to me, I’m continuing to subscribe as a tip of the cap to the great Chinese general and military strategist Sun Tzu, who is credited with saying, “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” I want to keep learning what you guys are up to. Phil Larsen, Dayton ••• I was initially confused about why a reader suggested the paper should try to make conservatives smile by covering stories about criminals, grocery prices and student loans ( “Switch up your coverage,” Readers Write, Nov. 30). However, I’m trying to lean into Becky Kennedy’s advice in her book “Good Inside” about making the MGI (most generous interpretation) about someone’s behavior. I’m going to assume the reader simply does not have time to read the entire paper every day. For example, on Nov. 29 the front page featured a picture of two siblings serving a meal to a guest at a homeless shelter who had two cats on their shoulders (”On Thanksgiving, furry family gets a seat at the table”). Big smile from my four-year-old daughter when I showed her. Strib Voices featured a couple celebrating fifty years of marriage and their meet-cute story ( ” ‘Where did you meet?’ It was my 157th visit to the Joint Bar, and it was Mary’s first ... “ ). Big smile from me, an unabashed romantic comedy lover. Below that article was a holiday memory of two young sisters from 1960 that I shared with my mom ( ”A Christmas lunch in Minneapolis, 64 years ago” ). She texted back saying it brought back a “feel good feeling” from her own childhood. If those were not enough, I find Arlo and Janis, F Minus, and Pearls Before Swine (notice I left out Doonesbury!) often bring a nonpolitical smile to my face most days. I believe there are plenty of subjects that would make folks across the political spectrum smile in this paper, if one is lucky enough to have the time. Joe Kennealy, Eden Prairie More than meets the tie I attended the recent Gophers-Nanooks hockey game that your paper reported as simply ending in a “tie” ( “U shoots plenty, settles for tie,” Nov. 30). This description understates a great match that went into double overtime and ultimately a shootout. As a grandfather who went with his grandsons, we witnessed an excitement that built throughout the overtime periods. While the game is officially recorded as a tie for NCAA tournament purposes, the teams played through additional overtime periods and a shootout to determine crucial conference points. This distinction explains why the score appeared as a tie in your reporting, despite the game’s dramatic extended conclusion. There’s no way that those of us at 3M Arena at Mariucci experienced a tie — we experienced a game that deserved nuanced coverage. Future reporting might better serve your readers by explaining both the official result and the exciting conclusion that determined conference points. Andy Halper, Edina

MEUDON (França)--(BUSINESS WIRE)--nov 21, 2024-- A inteligência artificial é o tema central da Semana Europeia de Cibernética deste ano, que ocorre de 19 a 21 de novembro em Rennes (França). Em um desafio organizado para coincidir com o evento pela Agência de Inovação de Defesa (AID) da França, as equipes da Thales desenvolveram com sucesso um metamodelo para detectar imagens geradas por IA. À medida que o uso de tecnologias de IA ganha força, e em um momento em que a desinformação está se tornando cada vez mais predominante nos meios de comunicação e impactando todos os setores da economia, o metamodelo de detecção de deepfake oferece uma maneira de combater a manipulação de imagens em uma grande variedade de casos de uso, como a luta contra a fraude de identidade. Este comunicado de imprensa inclui multimédia. Veja o comunicado completo aqui: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241120748438/pt/ (c)Thales As imagens geradas por IA são criadas usando plataformas de IA, como Midjourney, Dall-E e Firefly. Alguns estudos previram que, dentro de alguns anos, o uso de deepfakes para roubo de identidade e fraude poderia causar enormes perdas financeiras. A Gartner estimou que cerca de 20% dos ataques cibernéticos em 2023 provavelmente incluíram conteúdo deepfake como parte de campanhas de desinformação e manipulação. Seu relatório 1 destaca o uso cada vez maior de deepfakes em fraudes financeiras e ataques avançados de phishing. “ O metamodelo de detecção de deepfake da Thales aborda o problema de fraude de identidade e as técnicas de morphing ” 2 , disse Christophe Meyer, especialista sênior em IA e CTO da cortAIx, a aceleradora de IA da Thales . “ A agregação de vários métodos usando redes neurais, detecção de ruído e análise de frequência espacial nos ajuda a proteger melhor o número crescente de soluções que exigem verificações de identidade biométrica. Trata-se de um avanço tecnológico notável e uma prova da experiência da unidade de pesquisa em IA da Thales. ” O metamodelo da Thales usa técnicas de aprendizado de máquina, árvores de decisão e avaliações dos pontos fortes e fracos de cada modelo para analisar a autenticidade de uma imagem. Ele combina vários modelos, entre eles: A equipe da Thales por trás da invenção faz parte da cortAIx, a aceleradora de IA do Grupo, que tem mais de 600 profissionais de pesquisa e engenharia de inteligência artificial, sendo que 150 estão no cluster de pesquisa e tecnologia de Saclay, ao sul de Paris, e trabalham em sistemas de missão crítica. A equipe de Friendly Hackers desenvolveu uma caixa de ferramentas chamada BattleBox para ajudar a avaliar a solidez dos sistemas baseados em inteligência artificial diante de ataques projetados para explorar as vulnerabilidades intrínsecas de diferentes modelos de IA (incluindo os modelos de linguagem de grande escala), como ataques adversários e tentativas de extrair informações confidenciais. Para combater esses ataques, a equipe desenvolve contramedidas avançadas, como desaprendizagem, aprendizagem federada, marca d'água de modelos e fortalecimento de modelos. Em 2023, a Thales demonstrou sua experiência durante o desafio da CAID (Conferência sobre Inteligência Artificial para Defesa) organizado pela Agência de Compras de Defesa (DGA) da França, que consistia em encontrar dados de treinamento de IA mesmo depois de terem sido excluídos do sistema para proteger a confidencialidade. Sobre a Thales A Thales (Euronext Paris: HO) é uma líder mundial em tecnologias avançadas, especializada em três áreas de negócios: Defesa e Segurança, Aeronáutica e Espaço e Segurança Cibernética e Identidade Digital. O Grupo desenvolve produtos e soluções que ajudam a fazer do mundo um lugar mais seguro, ecológico e inclusivo.

A late-game rally derailed by a missed field goal and Cowboys stun Commanders 34-26( MENAFN - AFP) Asian traders shifted tentatively Tuesday as they battled to track another record on Wall Street owing to fresh China-US worries, while the euro extended losses on concerns of Political and economic upheaval in France. A tech-led rally in the Dow and S&P 500 helped New York Stocks to a strong start to the month, having enjoyed a healthy November on hopes that US President-elect Donald trump will usher in more business-friendly measures. Investors are also looking ahead to the release of US jobs data at the end of the week which could play a key role in the federal Reserve's decision on whether to cut interest rates again. The mixed performance in Asia followed a recent run-up that was helped Monday by manufacturing activity data suggesting China's economic struggles may be coming to an end. In early trade on Tuesday, Tokyo, Sydney, Seoul, Singapore and Manila were all higher but Hong Kong, Shanghai and Wellington retreated. Fuelling uncertainty was news that Washington had announced new export restrictions taking aim at Beijing's ability to make advanced semiconductors in the latest volley in the tech standoff between the world's leading economies. The moves step up existing US efforts to tighten curbs on exports of state-of-the-art AI chips to China. Beijing hit back, saying the United States "abuses export control measures" and has "hindered normal economic and trade exchanges". The mood was also tinted by worries over Trump's second term in the White House, particularly after he warned last month that he would hit China, Canada and Mexico with heavy tariffs. "Although recent (manufacturing) data revealed that November saw the fastest expansion in factory activity in months -- likely boosted by exporters rushing to get ahead of Trump's anticipated tariff storm -- the broader economic outlook remains fraught with uncertainty," said Stephen Innes at SPI Asset Management. "This complex tapestry of market dynamics -- China's manufacturing uptick, the deepening economic concerns, and the dollar's assertive rally -- are all intricately linked to Trump's aggressive trade posturing. "His vows of imposing hefty tariffs as soon as he enters the Oval Office next month cast long shadows over the Asian markets, making investors both wary and watchful." On currency markets, the euro weakened against the dollar and was sitting at lows not seen since October last year, owing to a brewing political crisis in France, the eurozone's second-largest economy. Prime Minister Michel Barnier faces the risk of being deposed in a no-confidence vote, expected on Wednesday, after he used executive powers to force through controversial social security legislation without a vote. The left wing and the far-right National Rally of Marine Le Pen said they would back a motion bringing down the minority government, which has been in power for just three months. The yield on French government debt rose in another sign of investor concern. France must now pay as much to borrow for 10 years as Greece. - Key figures around 0230 GMT - Tokyo - Nikkei 225: UP 1.7 percent at 39,180.06 (break) Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: DOWN 0.4 percent at 19,478.28 Shanghai - Composite: DOWN 0.3 percent at 3,354.50 Euro/dollar: DOWN at $1.0491 from $1.0499 on Monday Pound/dollar: DOWN at $1.2649 from $1.2654 Dollar/yen: UP at 149.82 yen from 149.54 yen Euro/pound: DOWN at 82.93 from 82.97 pence West Texas Intermediate: UP 0.2 percent at $68.21 per barrel Brent North Sea Crude: UP 0.2 percent at $71.97 per barrel New York - Dow: DOWN 0.3 percent at 44,782.00 points (close) London - FTSE 100: UP 0.3 at 8,312.89 (close) MENAFN02122024000143011026ID1108948906 Legal Disclaimer: MENAFN provides the information “as is” without warranty of any kind.

Opinion: What Really Made Joe Biden Pardon Hunter—Whatever MAGA’s RageJamshedpur: Former CM Champai Soren on Sunday said the BJP’s movement against the alleged increasing Bangladeshi infiltration in Jharkhand was social in nature and not political or aimed at elections. Soren, who won the Seraikela seat in the assembly polls, claimed that tribals have become a minority in many districts of the state, including Pakur and Sahibganj. “As we have said earlier, our movement against the ever-increasing Bangladeshi infiltration in Jharkhand is not a political or election issue, but a social campaign. We clearly believe that infiltrators should not get any kind of protection on this land of heroes,” he said in a post on X in Hindi. “Today, the tribal community has become a minority in many districts, including Pakur and Sahibganj. What will happen if we cannot protect the lands of the indigenous people and the dignity of our women?” he added. Soren announced the BJP would very soon launch the next phase of its campaign in the Santhal Parganas over the issue. जोहार साथियों, जैसा कि हमने पहले भी कहा था, झारखंड में लगातार बढ़ रहे बांग्लादेशी घुसपैठ के खिलाफ हमारा आंदोलन कोई राजनैतिक या चुनावी मुद्दा नहीं, बल्कि एक सामाजिक अभियान है। हमारा स्पष्ट तौर पर मानना है कि वीरों की इस माटी पर घुसपैठियों को किसी भी प्रकार का संरक्षण नहीं मिलना... “Governments will come and go, parties will be formed and dissolved but our society must remain, our tribal identity must remain, otherwise nothing will be left,” he said. Alleged infiltration from Bangladesh was one of the key issues on which BJP fought the assembly elections, but it failed to cut much ice among the people. The alliance it led won 24 seats against the JMM-led coalition’s 56 in the 81-member House.Washington Commanders release 2023 first-round pick Emmanuel Forbes

Adele could not hold back her tears as she farewelled her Las Vegas residency. The Hello singer wrapped her final Weekends with Adele show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Saturday night (local time) after 100 concerts at the venue, the BBC reported. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Adele wraps her Vegas Residency. Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today “It’s been wonderful and I will miss it terribly, and I will miss you terribly,” she said. “The only thing I’m good at is singing. I just don’t know when I want to next come on stage but I love you.” Adele said her decision to do a residency rather than tour was driven by her 11-year-old son Angelo, whom she shares with ex-husband Simon Konecki. “I chose to do a residency so I could keep his life normal,” she said, adding that she was looking forward to spending her weekends with him again. The proud mum addressed her son directly adding, “I love you to bits”. She went on to address her partner, sports agent Rich Paul, thanking him for “always picking me up and making me feel like I could do whatever I want to do”. “I am emotional but also, just so you know, I got closure when Céline Dion came to my show. “I cried for a whole week!” Adele approached Dion in the crowd when the Candian superstar attended a show last month and the pair shared a sweet moment when she kissed the When We Were Young singer’s hands before they whispered to one another. The interaction took place as Adele walked through her audience to get a closer look at who was in attendance. The Canadian singer appeared teary as she sat back down in her seat alongside her twin sons Nelson and Eddy, 14. Returning back to the stage, Adele said to the audience: “Give it up to Ms. Céline Dion,” prompting the All By Myself singer to stand and wave to the crowd. She said Dion was “one of my favourite people of all time”. Dion launched her first residency in 2003 at The Colosseum, which was purpose-built for the residency, which lasted for for 717 shows through to December 2007. She returned to the venue for her second stint in March 2011 and played 424 shows before wrapping it up in June 2019. Adele then announced her residency in December 2021. “See you at Caesars in Vegasss ✨,” she wrote on Instagram and posted a residency poster and a photo of herself performing. It was famously postponed a day before the first concert in January 2022, telling fans in a teary video that “my show ain’t ready” . “We’ve tried absolutely everything that we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you but we’ve been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID,” she said at the time.
