A tight race for political power in British Columbia still had no clear winner early Sunday after the vast majority of votes in the provincial election had been counted, with a weakened incumbent party barely holding off its top challenger late into the night. With a little more than 96 per cent of votes counted, the B.C. NDP and B.C. Conservatives were left locked in a near dead heat . The NDP were either elected or leading in 46 ridings, while the Conservatives had won or were leading in 45 — each just a seat or two shy of the 47 needed to win a majority government. The razor-thin result means the race will come down to the final polls, out-of-district votes and mail in ballots. The latter aren't expected to be fully counted until Oct. 26. See a riding-by-riding breakdown of the results here The delay in announcing the results came after an unusually antagonistic election campaign characterized by the growing popularity of the right-of-centre Conservatives, which had tried to convince a broad base of disillusioned voters to reject the status quo after seven years of NDP rule. Regardless of which party ultimately forms government, the close race will be considered a disappointing result for the once-dominant NDP and a once-unthinkable accomplishment for the up-and-coming Conservatives. "This has been a very, very hard fought campaign and we knew that every vote would matter and that has certainly been the case," NDP Leader David Eby told supporters just before 11:30 p.m. PT.

Addressing his own crowd minutes earlier, Conservatives Leader John Rustad said the election was a "historic night." "This has been a night where we have seen the political landscape in British Columbia change forever ... we have not given up this fight yet. We are going to keep pushing hard." A number of ridings are still too close to call with less than a few hundred votes between candidates. Both Eby and Rustad held onto their ridings: Rustad was re-elected in Nechako Lakes, which he has held since 2005, and Eby won a fourth term in Vancouver–Point Grey.

In a major blow to her party, B.C. Green Party leader Sonia Furstenau lost her seat after leaving her riding of Cowichan Valley to run for the first time in Victoria–Beacon Hill. "It has been such an honour to be an MLA," an emotional Furstenau later told supporters gathered in the capital, her voice hoarse after fighting a cold last weekend. "It's not the outcome we hoped for in Victoria–Beacon Hill tonight, but I'm so proud of the campaign that we ran." The Greens otherwise led in two ridings. With the two top parties each straining to clinch a majority, Furstenau said the party could potentially play a "pivotal role" in the next government.

Green Leader Sonia Furstenau addresses supporters after failing to win the Victoria-Beacon Hill riding in the provincial election. B.C. was left with similar uncertainty after the provincial election in 2017, when election night ended with another too-close-to-call race between the NDP and then-B.C. Liberals. Former Liberals leader Christy Clark promised to lead a minority government after the race, but resigned weeks later after losing a confidence vote. The NDP's John Horgan became premier after signing a confidence and supply agreement with the support of the three Green members of the Legislature. Together, the two parties had a total of 44 seats — the minimum required at that time for a majority. Remarkable Conservative rise The campaign was largely a story about whether or not the Conservatives could complete a stunning political rise to topple Eby's NDP, or whether the incumbent party could hold onto its commanding power in the Legislature. At dissolution this fall, the NDP held a powerful majority with 55 seats in the legislature. The B.C. United party served as the Official Opposition with 20 seats, but did not run any candidates in the election after it suspended its campaign to throw its support behind the surging B.C. Conservatives — who held just eight seats before the election. B.C. NDP Leader David Eby greets Vancouver-Yaletown NDP candidate Terry Yung, left, after addressing supporters on election night in Vancouver. (Darryl Dyck/The Canadian Press) The Greens had two seats, and two seats were held by Independents. A record 40 Independents ran in the election this year, but none of them won any of their races. The majority of NDP cabinet ministers retained their seats, including Health Minister Adrian Dix in Vancouver–Renfrew, Jobs Minister Brenda Bailey in Vancouver–South Granville and Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon in Delta North. If Rustad's party takes power, the province will have its first Conservative government in nearly a century. If Eby's party wins, the province will have its third consecutive NDP government. Regardless of the final outcome, Rustad's unlikely rise has been a remarkable story in B.C. politics. Rustad, 61, became party leader after he was kicked out of the Opposition, then known as the B.C. Liberals, over his views on climate change. In just two years, he steered the fledgling Conservatives to a level of popularity that sank his old party, which had disastrously rebranded as B.C. United. The Conservatives and NDP ran candidates in each of the province's 93 ridings, while Furstenau's Greens had 69 candidates.

According to the Navi Mumbai police, the complainant is a resident of Navi Mumbai and works as a software engineer in a private company. On November 29, she received a phone call from a person who claimed to be calling from a bank and told her that her credit card bill of Rs1.68 lakh was pending. The complainant told the caller that she did not have a credit card after which the caller told her to raise an online complaint with the Ghatkopar police. After some time, she received another call from a person who claimed to be a police officer and informed her that her Aadhar card details had been used for money laundering purposes and that she would be arrested. To prove her innocence, she was told to record her statement over a video call without informing anyone about it, or else her relatives would also be arrested. Another scammer, posing as an Enforcement Directorate official, spoke to the complainant and induced her to transfer her savings and investment money to a bank account provided by them. They also forced her to take a personal loan and transfer the said amount to a beneficiary bank account. They had also told the complainant that once their ‘probe’ was complete she would get her money back in seven to eight days. However, later the scammers started giving evasive replies and refused to give her money back. Having realised that she had been duped, the woman approached the police and got an offence registered last week. A case has been registered under sections 316 (criminal breach of trust), 318 (cheating), 319 (cheating by personation) 351 (criminal intimidation) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and section 66D (cheating by personation by using computer resource) of the Information Technology Act.

NFC's No. 1 seed comes down to Vikings-Lions showdown at Detroit in Week 1849ers WR Deebo Samuel speaks on his deleted tweet: ‘A little frustrated, for sure’
BLOOMINGTON — Illinois Wesleyan University is partnering with For A Better Tomorrow to host the second STEAM Olympics Competition. The competition will be available to local students in first grade through high school for the multi-day event from Feb. 22-23 and March 1-2. The event will take place at the Center for Natural Sciences, 201 E. Beecher St. in Bloomington, and will feature more than 10 activities in technology, engineering, arts and mathematics to offer hands-on learning with 3D printing, art workshops, essay writing, science and math tests, as well as a science fair. Registered participants and their families will also have access to optional laboratory tours on Illinois Wesleyan and Illinois State university campuses to witness real-world applications of STEAM fields. “New workshops have been added — including the design-a-thon, speech and debate, and the STEAM Quest — each designed to challenge participants and celebrate their talents,” said Dakesa Piña, vice president of inclusion excellence at IWU. Piña is leading the event in partnership with For a Better Tomorrow, which is a Bloomington-based organization that strives to promote social justice through philanthropy and nurturing future generations of servant leaders within the community. "We had 235 registrations and 128 students who participated in the inaugural STEAM Olympics. This is a testament to the need for such an event in our community and the quality of volunteers who brought their enthusiasm to the planning," said Sambisvarao Gurijala, 2025 STEAM Olympics co-chair.

(Alessandro Garofalo/LaPresse via AP) MADRID (AP) — Spanish King Felipe VI used his traditional Christmas Eve speech to remember the victims of the catastrophic Valencia flash floods , and urged the country to remain calm while addressing hot-button issues such as immigration and housing affordability. In a pre-recorded speech that usually reviews the year's most relevant issues, Felipe said Spain “must never forget the pain and sadness" the floods caused. The Oct. 29 floods killed more than 225 people in eastern Spain, damaging countless homes and leaving graveyards of cars piled on top of each other. In some towns, the heavy downpours that caused the floods dropped as much as a year's worth of rain in just eight hours. In early November, as Spaniards' shock at the wreckage turned into frustration, a political blame game began, directed especially at regional authorities who failed to send timely emergency alerts to cell phones on the day of the floods. The frustration of residents in hard-hit Paiporta near Valencia was on display when people tossed mud and shouted insults at the king and government officials in early November when they made their first visit to the town. “We have seen — and understood — the frustration, the pain, the impatience, the demands for greater and more effective coordination," Felipe said about how the disaster was managed. He also addressed the country's housing crunch and high rents, which have become a leading concern in the southern European country that is the eurozone's fourth-largest economy. Fast-rising rents are especially acute in cities like Barcelona and Madrid, where incomes have failed to keep up, especially for younger people in a country with chronically high unemployment. Felipe urged that “all the actors involved reflect” and "listen to each other” so that they facilitate bringing access to housing under “affordable conditions.” Spain's immigration debate should keep in mind the country's European partners and immigrants' countries of origin, Felipe said, warning that “the way in which we are able to address immigration ... will say a lot in the future about our principles and the quality of our democracy.” Felipe said Spain needed to remain calm in the public sphere, even in the face of a “sometimes thunderous” contest in its politics.

Croatia’s incumbent President Zoran Milanovic won most of the votes in the first round of a presidential election on Sunday but must face a runoff against a ruling party candidate to secure another five-year term. With nearly all of the votes counted, left-leaning Mr Milanovic won 49% while his main challenger Dragan Primorac, a candidate of the ruling conservative HDZ party, trailed far behind with 19%. Pre-election polls had predicted that the two would face off in the second round on January 12, as none of the eight presidential election contenders were projected to get more than 50% of the vote. Mr Milanovic thanked his supporters but warned that “this was just a first run”. “Let’s not be triumphant, let’s be realistic, firmly on the ground,” he said. “We must fight all over again. It’s not over till it’s over.” Mr Milanovic, the most popular politician in Croatia, has served as prime minister in the past. Populist in style, the 58-year-old has been a fierce critic of current Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic and continuous sparring between the two has been a recent hallmark of Croatia’s political scene. Mr Plenkovic has sought to portray the vote as one about Croatia’s future in the EU and Nato. He has labelled Mr Milanovic “pro-Russian” and a threat to Croatia’s international standing. “The difference between him (Mr Primorac) and Milanovic is quite simple: Milanovic is leading us East, Primorac is leading us West,” he said. Though the presidency is largely ceremonial in Croatia, an elected president holds political authority and acts as the supreme commander of the military. Mr Milanovic has criticised the Nato and European Union support for Ukraine and has often insisted that Croatia should not take sides. He has said Croatia should stay away from global disputes, thought it is a member of both Nato and the EU. Mr Milanovic has also blocked Croatia’s participation in a Nato-led training mission for Ukraine, declaring that “no Croatian soldier will take part in somebody else’s war”. His main rival in the election, Mr Primorac, has stated that “Croatia’s place is in the West, not the East”. However, his bid for the presidency has been marred by a high-level corruption case that landed Croatia’s health minister in jail last month and which featured prominently in pre-election debates. Trailing a distant third in the pre-election polls is Marija Selak Raspudic, a conservative independent candidate. She has focused her election campaign on the economic troubles of ordinary citizens, corruption and issues such as population decline in the country of some 3.8 million. Sunday’s presidential election is Croatia’s third vote this year, following a snap parliamentary election in April and the European Parliament balloting in June.Commentary: Where does Allianz withdrawal leave Income Insurance?
Oh the humanity! "Look Back" yells from the rooftops why art needs to exist in the age of AIInvesting in recession-resistant that offer a tasty yield is a good strategy to see which is a better buy right now. Part of the Canadian telecom sector, Telus is among the largest companies that trade on the TSX. Valued at a of $33 billion, Telus pays shareholders an annual dividend of $1.61 per share, translating to a forward yield of 7.3%. While Telus is part of a mature and saturated sector, its total net customer additions in the third quarter (Q3) of 2024 stood at 347,000. While mobile net additions stood at 130,000, net additions for connected devices were higher at 159,000. Notably, focusing on customer service and connectivity meant its postpaid mobile phone churn was below 1% for the 11th consecutive year. The company’s PureFibre network offers superior connectivity compared to traditional cable. Telus emphasized that network superiority drove 17% growth in premium rate plans. Telus is well positioned to benefit from strong bundling strategies, as each household has subscribed to an average of 3.2 products. In Q3, its bundled mobile and home households saw an 8% year-over-year growth, resulting in higher average revenue per household, improved margins, reduced churn, and enhanced customer lifetime value. Telus recently raised its dividends by 7% year over year, which is its 27th hike since 2011. With more than $26 billion returned to shareholders in the last 20 years, Telus has increased dividends for 14 consecutive years. Given its strong operational metrics, diversified revenue streams, and consistent dividend growth, Telus remains a top investment choice. The company’s expansion into health and agriculture technology provides additional growth vectors beyond traditional telecommunications. Telus stock is cheap, priced at seven times forward cash flow, and trades at a 10% discount to consensus price target estimates. Verizon is a global telecom giant valued at US$125 billion by market cap. Despite its massive size, Verizon reported record EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) of US$12.5 billion in Q3 of 2024. Its wireless service revenue grew by 2.7% year over year, while postpaid net additions stood at 239,000. Verizon continues to invest heavily in its fiber infrastructure, which should drive future cash flow and higher earnings. The company’s strong performance in Q3 can be tied to operational efficiency improvements, the successful launch of new products and services, and strong execution across business segments. Going forward, Verizon will continue to focus on strategic acquisitions, network improvements, and new product developments. Verizon has raised its annual dividends to US$2.71 per share in 2024, up from US$2.2 per share in 2014. Its growing dividend has meant that Verizon offers shareholders a high dividend yield of 6.2% to shareholders. Priced at 10 times forward free cash flow, Verizon trades at a higher multiple than Telus. Moreover, Telus is expected to grow earnings and free cash flow at a higher rate than Verizon, making the a better buy right now.Arshdeep Singh nominated for ICC T20I Cricketer of the Year
By Akiko Minami / Yomiuri Shimbun Staff Writer 7:00 JST, December 27, 2024 * * At the foot of Mt. Bizan that overlooks the central part of Tokushima, there is a structure called the Awa Odori Kaikan, where about 10 male and female dancers demonstrate daily how the 400-year-old Awa Odori dance has changed over the years. Visitors to the facility dedicated to the famous dance can see the transition of the dance: During the Meiji era (1868-1912), it had a mellow atmosphere like the Bon Odori dances. A little after the end of World War II, dancers were allowed to dance rhythmically as they wanted. More recently, the style has drastically changed. A well-organized formation of dancers in rows neatly spread out and come together while dancing, emphasizing the beauty of the group dance rather than the beauty of the individual dancers. The change came with the 1970 Osaka Expo. During the world expo, performing arts from all over Japan were performed in the Omatsuri Hiroba festival square on the expo grounds. The Awa Odori dance evolved into a show dance through trial and error to entertain Japanese and foreign visitors. Minoru Yamada, 71, a former leader of the Tensuiren dance group, performed at the expo at the age of 16 and was applauded with “Wonderful” and “Bravo” by foreign visitors. “Although I was young, I realized that the Awa Odori was so amazing that I had to spread it all over Japan,” Yamada said. Expos held in Japan have left a variety of tangible and intangible legacies. The Tower of the Sun, created by artist Taro Okamoto for the 1970 Osaka Expo, still stands at Expo ’70 Commemorative Park, which is located on the former expo grounds in Suita, Osaka Prefecture. Tours of the tower attracted 270,000 visitors to see its inside in fiscal 2023. The 2005 Aichi Expo garnered attention to its various natural, environmentally friendly approaches, such as an initiative to bring eco-bags and make natural, green walls, which helped raise public awareness of ecology and recycling. Unlike the Olympics, where the Olympic Charter requires the host cities to promote and leave positive legacies, the host cities of world expos are not required to do so by the rules of the Bureau International des Expositions, a Paris-based organization that oversees and regulates world expos. However, Harutoshi Imamura, 38, director of the expo promotion office at Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc., said, “The public won’t allow an event that requires such large-scale investment to be a one-time event.” At least ¥300 billion of public money will be spent mainly on construction work at the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo grounds. It is critical that the Expo leaves something of value for the next generation. Of particular importance is the effective use of Yumeshima, an artificial island in Konohana Ward, Osaka, that will be the Expo site but has long been considered a “negative legacy.” Development of the island was started in 1977 by the Osaka city government as a 390-hectare area to be used for the disposal of construction waste, including surplus soil. The island was named as a candidate site for the athletes’ village if Osaka was going to host the 2008 Olympics. But after Osaka lost the bid to Beijing in 2001, most of the island has remained vacant. About ¥320 billion in public funds has been spent on the island’s development. An integrated resort with a casino is expected to open in 2030 on a 49-hectare northern section. By contrast, at present, a southern section, which is the site of the Expo, does not even have a blueprint for its post-expo use. The Osaka prefectural and city governments are planning to present a plan for the use of about 50 hectares in the center of the about-150-hectare expo site by the end of this fiscal year and select a developer by the end of next fiscal year. There are high expectations for the expo to transform the area into a vibrant place and help boost Osaka and the Kansai region.

Fernandes picked up his second booking a minute after the restart, resulting in a red card. It is the Portugal midfielder’s third sending-off this season. Amorim said: “Of course, when we lose, when we don’t win, it’s a step back. It was really hard with the sending off. The goal was similar to the one against Tottenham. Then, we tried. Even with one less player, we tried, and I think we were close to something, but then Wolves scored the second goal. Then, in the end, we tried everything, and the transition made it 2-0.” The result leaves United in 14th place after 18 matches.

Trump said Atkins, the CEO of Patomak Partners and a former SEC commissioner, was a “proven leader for common sense regulations.” In the years since leaving the SEC, Atkins has made the case against too much market regulation. “He believes in the promise of robust, innovative capital markets that are responsive to the needs of Investors, & that provide capital to make our Economy the best in the World. He also recognizes that digital assets & other innovations are crucial to Making America Greater than Ever Before,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. The commission oversees U.S. securities markets and investments and is currently led by Gary Gensler, who has been leading the U.S. government’s crackdown on the crypto industry. Gensler, who was nominated by President Joe Biden, announced last month that he would be stepping down from his post on the day that Trump is inaugurated — Jan. 20, 2025. Trump, once a crypto skeptic, had pledged to make the U.S. “the crypto capital of the planet” and create a “strategic reserve” of bitcoin. Money has poured into crypto assets since he won . Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, is now above $95,000. And shares in crypto platform Coinbase have surged more than 70% since the election. Paul Grewal, chief legal officer of Coinbase, congratulated Atkins in a post on X. “We appreciate his commitment to balance in regulating U.S. securities markets and look forward to his fresh leadership at (the SEC),” Grewal wrote. “It’s sorely needed and cannot come a day too soon.” Congressman Brad Sherman, a California Democrat and a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, said he worries Atkins would not sufficiently regulate cryptocurrencies as SEC chair. “He’d probably take the position that no cryptocurrency currency is a security, and hence no exchange that deals with crypto is a securities exchange,” Sherman said. “The opportunity to defraud investors would be there in a very significant way.” Atkins began his career as a lawyer and has a long history working in the financial markets sector, both in government and private practice. In the 1990s, he worked on the staffs of two former SEC chairmen, Richard C. Breeden and Arthur Levitt. His work as an SEC commissioner started in 2002, a time when the fallout from corporate scandals at Enron and WorldCom had turned up the heat on Wall Street and its government regulators. Atkins was widely considered the most conservative member of the SEC during his tenure at the agency and known to have a strong free-market bent. As a commissioner, he called for greater transparency in and analysis of the costs and benefits of new SEC rules. He also emphasized investor education and increased enforcement efforts against those who steal from investors over the internet, manipulate markets, engage in Ponzi schemes and other types of fraud. At the same time, Atkins objected to stiff penalties imposed on companies accused of fraudulent conduct, contending that they did not deter crime. He caused a stir in the summer of 2006 when he said the practice of granting stock options to executives before the disclosure of news that was certain to increase the share price did not constitute insider trading. U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry, a North Carolina Republican and chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said Atkins has the experience needed to “restore faith in the SEC.” “I’m confident his leadership will lead to clarity for the digital asset ecosystem and ensure U.S. capital markets remain the envy of the world,” McHenry posted on X. Atkins already has some experience working for Trump. During Trump's first term, Atkins was a member of the President’s Strategic and Policy Forum , an advisory group of more than a dozen CEOs and business leaders who offered input on how to create jobs and speed economic growth. In 2017, Atkins joined the Token Alliance, a cryptocurrency advocacy organization. Crypto industry players welcomed Trump’s victory in the hopes that he would push through legislative and regulatory changes that they’ve long lobbied for. Trump himself has launched World Liberty Financial, a new venture with family members to trade cryptocurrencies. Best trending stories from the week. Success!
