With the councilmember for southeast Fresno leaving to join the county Board of Supervisors, a March date has been set for voters to pick a new representative. The Fresno City Council selected March 18, 2025, for the special election to fill Luis Chavez’s District 5 seat. Chavez has held that seat since 2017. He won the November election for Supervisor District 3 against incumbent Sal Quintero, who was once his boss and a longtime political ally.

Yankees have interest in former top prospect after career year | Sporting NewsCEDAR FALLS — End of an era. A fourth straight championship game appearance is something to be proud about. But in the end, West Hancock of Britt could not overcome Tri-Center of Neola in the Class A state championship game Thursday at the UNI-Dome. The Trojans (12-1) pulled out a 14-10 victory to dethrone the defending champion Eagles (12-1), earning the school's first state football title in program history. West Hancock's Ray Gretillat hoists the Eagles' runner up trophy after their loss against Tri-Center on Thursday during the eight-player championship game at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. West Hancock's Gustavo Gomez runs the ball for a touchdown against Tri-Center on Thursday during the eight-player championship game at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. “Championship games are about who makes the biggest plays or who makes the most plays,” running back Gustavo Gomez said. “It looks like they did today.” “I’m proud of my guys,” quarterback Zephyr Jamtgaard said. “They took it seriously and I’m really proud of that. We’re a program that gets to the championship. Win or lose, I’m still proud of this team. I don’t think this game defines our season at all.” West Hancock nearly pulled it off despite a pair of devastating injuries. A week ago, the Eagles lost second-leading rusher and top tackler Creighton Kelly to a knee injury. Kelly tried to make a go of it in pre-game but was immediately ruled out. Then in the second half, leading rusher Brady Bixel went down and had an arm in a sling by the end of the game. “Down here that’s part of the game,” West Hancock head coach Mark Sanger said. “In Class A football, when you lose kids like Creighton Kelly and Brady Bixel, I’d be lying to you if it didn’t affect what your gameplan was and what you’re doing. We got guys who stepped in, and we prepared for it.” West Hancock celebrates after forcing a turnover on downs against Tri-Center on Thursday during the eight-player championship game at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. West Hancock's Brady Bixel is tackled by Tri-Center's Zach Nelson as he runs the ball on Thursday during the eight-player championship game at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. “Brady was out so I had to step in at fullback,” Gomez said. “I have experience playing fullback, so it didn’t really increase my workload or anything.” Tri-Center made it tough on the Eagles and forced them into things a typical West Hancock team does not have to do, especially playing from behind and without its two best offensive weapons. For a team that didn’t throw the ball once in the semi-final game against Madrid, the Eagles quarterback Zephyr Jamtgaard was forced to throw more than normal as he finished just 3 for 9 for 33 yards. Bixel had 100 rushing yards before he went out with injury. Tri-Center, on the other hand, was also firing on all cylinders offensively with Carter Kunze running for 168 yards and a rushing touchdown paired with 62 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown. Quarterback A.J. Harder had 207 passing yards with the touchdown to Kunze. Zach Nelson led the Trojans in receiving yards with 78. The game started with an explosive drive by the Trojans. The Trojans pounded the ball 42 yards down the field before Kunze picked up his first touchdown of the game on a 38-yard reception to give them the early 7-0 lead. After trading defensive stops, the Eagles finally answered back in a big way. After forcing a turnover on downs on the West Hancock 45-yard line, Gomez took off from the Tri-Center 49-yard line and tied the game up 7-7. “I ran my hardest,” Gomez said. “I only had one touchdown. It was all that I could get today.” West Hancock head coach Mark Sanger directs his players on the field against Tri-Center on Thursday during the eight-player championship game at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. West Hancock reacts after their loss against Tri-Center on Thursday during the eight-player championship game at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. Tri-Center closed the first half with a nearly five-minute drive dominated by Kunze’s ground game and the Trojans took back the lead with a Kunze four-yard touchdown with 40 seconds left in the half. The Eagles tried to tie the game back up, but a forward pass on a trick play past the line of scrimmage left the game 14-7 in favor of the Trojans as both teams headed into the locker room. The Eagles were the only team to score in the second half. Bixel exploded in the first two plays for a 28-yard rush followed by a 15-yard rush to get the ball in scoring position. However, a strong defensive showing by Tri-Center, West Hancock was forced to kick their first field goal of the year to make the game 14-10. “It was just a battle in the second half,” Sanger said. “We tried to figure out what we could do and couldn’t do. Defensively, we gave them some yards, but we turned them away when we had to. We turned them away in the second half, but we couldn’t make enough plays in the end to win that game.” The West Hancock senior class finished their football careers doing something that no team in school history has ever done by making the championship game for all four years of high school. West Hancock's Brady Bixel is tackled by Tri-Center's Zach Nelson as he runs the ball on Thursday during the eight-player championship game at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. “I couldn’t ask for a better senior class,” Sanger said. “There may be more athletic classes that come through but the way these guys compose themselves, the way they work, the example they set, the things they do, they’re going to be fine young men in our society as they go forward. That’s the goal isn’t it?” “This season has been great,” Jamtgaard said. “We finished 12-1 and were district champs, which is something we didn’t do last year. It’s really something to be proud of.” West Hancock's Ray Gretillat hoists the Eagles' runner up trophy as they depart the field after their loss against Tri-Center on Thursday during the eight-player championship game at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will not support a Liberal plan to give Canadians a GST holiday and $250 unless the government expands eligibility for the cheques, saying the rebate leaves out “the most vulnerable.” The Liberals announced a plan last week to cut the federal sales tax on a raft of items like toys and restaurant meals for two months, and to give $250 to more than 18.7 million Canadians in the spring. RELATED: Freeland says the two-month GST holiday is meant to tackle the ‘vibecession’ Speaking after a Canadian Labour Congress event in Ottawa, Singh says he’s open to passing the GST legislation, but the rebate needs to include seniors, students, people who are on disability benefits and those who were not able to work last year. Singh says he initially supported the idea because he thought the rebate cheques would go to anyone who earned under $150,000 last year. But the so-called working Canadians rebate will be sent to those who had an income, leaving out people Singh says need the help. The government intends to include the measures in the fall economic statement, which has not yet been introduced in the House of Commons. The proposed GST holiday would begin in mid-December, lasting for two months. It would remove the GST on prepared foods at grocery stores, some alcoholic drinks, children’s clothes and toys, Christmas trees, restaurant meals, books, video games and physical newspapers. A privilege debate has held up all government business in the House since late September, with the Conservatives pledging to continue a filibuster until the government hands over unredacted documents related to misspending at a green technology fund. The NDP said last week they had agreed to pause the privilege debate in order to pass the legislation to usher in the GST holiday. Singh said Tuesday that unless there are changes to the proposed legislation, he will not support pausing the debate. The Bloc Québécois is also pushing for the rebates to be sent to seniors and retirees. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 26, 2024.
Haiti gang attack on journalists covering a hospital reopening leaves 2 dead, several wounded
Women’s representation in the tech sector is improving across the country, even amid other drops in diversity. That’s according to a Wednesday report from the Vancouver-based Tech and People Network (TAP), which found that women’s representation in Canada’s tech sector made some progress over the last year, increasing from 36.9 per cent to 38.6 per cent among 149 employers surveyed. Nevertheless, the management-level gender pay gap still remains at 17 per cent, with all B.C. employers with over 50 employees required to report gender pay discrepancies by 2026, said the release. Women were represented most in tech companies’ human resources departments (84 per cent), while representation lacked in technology, design and support (27 per cent). Entry-level jobs for (45 per cent) had the highest representation, while women made up a meagre 5.8 per cent of jobs at the specialist level (5.8 per cent). Representation in those categories remain the same as last year, according to TAP’s 2024 Diversity in Tech Dashboard. But broader diversity in the tech sector has taken a considerable blow since 2023, with representation of persons of colour dropping by 4.4 percentage points to 33.1 per cent. The report found that the most significant proportion of people who self-identify as a person of colour were in the manufacturing sector (54 per cent), with the lowest being in the executive/corporate level (19 per cent) – those figures remain unchanged since 2023. Entry-level jobs (46 per cent) had the highest representation of this group, with the lowest being the specialist level (16 per cent). TAP Network CEO Stephanie Hollingshead said in Wednesday’s release that declining representation of people of colour and/or Black people is cause for concern, urging organizations to review recruitment/retention strategies. Underrepresented groups like persons with disabilities slightly increased by one percentage point from 4.2 per cent compared with 2023, with the largest numbers coming from those working in human resources. Representation of 2SLGBTQIA+ also increased annually by one percentage point to 9.9 per cent. However, representation for Indigenous persons was the lowest (0.8 per cent) and even saw a decrease of 0.1 percentage points in the last year. The tech sector experienced a mixed bag of improvements and declines over the last year – this was also the case for equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging (EDIB) policy building in the workplace. Just over half (57 per cent) of the 181 organizations who provided information stated they ask employees for their accessibility needs, with close to half providing EDIB training and analyzing pay gaps. However, only 18 per cent of senior leadership in these companies has set accountability to match these goals. While companies made progress in developing inclusive policies, significant steps forward in diversity and pay equity remain painfully slow, said Hollingshead. “Our 2024 findings serve as an urgent wake-up call for Canada's tech sector. We need decisive, bold action in 2025 to close these persistent representation and gender pay gaps in our sector." The data for TAP Network’s 2024 Diversity in Tech Dashboard was compiled from their tech salary and total rewards survey, which includes data from 27,000 participants at 202 Canadian tech companies.
The bad behaviour associated with the home on Dunsley Close has caused misery for those living in Berwick Hills in recent months. Hard work from the Council's East Neighbourhood team, Cleveland Police and housing provider Thirteen has seen a three-month closure order has now been secured. This will see the property emptied and boarded up. Residents living nearby had made regular complaints about daily drug dealing and antisocial behaviour at the property and have had to endure men in balaclavas riding off-road motorbikes to collect and drop off drugs at all hours of the day. Cleveland Police previously found a stolen scooter inside the property when officers raided the house in October - and also seized class A drugs, cannabis, a number of knives, and homemade crack pipes. A deceased dog was also discovered inside. But after that raid, the problems intensified until the closure order was granted by Teesside Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, December 17. The property is owned by Thirteen and when it was shut down on Thursday, the tenancy agreement with the tenant was terminated and they will not be returning. The three councillors in the Berwick Hills and Pallister ward have welcomed the closure and paid tribute to the hard work of staff in East Middlesbrough - especially Middlesbrough Council's neighbourhood safety officer in the area, and Thirteen's anti-social behaviour resolution lead officer. Cllr Donna Jones paid tribute to the "absolutely amazing work", while Cllr Julia Cooke thanked all staff involved. Cllr Ian Blades said the result would ensure "residents have a lot more Christmas cheer this year". Middlesbrough Council's Executive Member for Neighbourhoods, Cllr Janet Thompson, said: "This is a fantastic result, and I would like to echo our ward councillors and residents in Berwick Hills when I pass on my thanks to officers from the council, police and Thirteen for their hard work in getting this property closed down. "It shows the importance of partnership working to delivering for residents in our communities. "People living nearby shouldn't have to put up with the sort of behaviour they've seen at this house - it simply cannot and will not be tolerated." Acting Chief Inspector Chris Hartshorne of Cleveland Police said: “Any behaviour which causes misery for law-abiding citizens in our communities will not be tolerated. “I would continue to urge anyone who is suffering from issues like this to get in touch with us, so that we can work with our partners to take action and remove those who act in this manner.” Thirteen’s anti-social behaviour resolution lead Luke Metcalfe said: "Our priority has always been and will continue to be ensuring that our customers feel safe in their home and within the community where they live. “We will not tolerate behaviour like this, where our homes are being used for crime and anti-social behaviour, as we see the devastating impact that this can have on those who live close by. Get the latest news, sports, and entertainment delivered straight to your device by subscribing to The Northern Echo here . “We are pleased the closure order has been granted for one of Thirteen’s homes, and we believe this is a step forward to restoring peace within this community. “No-one should ever have to live in fear in their own home, and we hope that the residents living nearby feel relieved and reassured that we have taken action. “We’ll remain committed to working in partnership with Middlesbrough Council and Cleveland Police to reduce anti-social behaviour and crime because people have a right to feel safe where they live.”How to use an air fryer to elevate your charcuterie board – tried and tested tips from a trained chef
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel says he was surprised by reports of Shaq Barrett's unretirement planFresh off their open date, the Baltimore Ravens prepare for their schedule to become busy26 November 2024 Remote sensing company Proveye has been awarded a second contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) under the ARTES Business Applications and Space Solutions Programme. The contract valued at just under €900,000 will enable Proveye to further develop its pioneering platform that integrates satellite and drone image processing and AI technologies for high-precision, metric-based measurement and monitoring of land use, carbon sequestration and biodiversity in the world’s grasslands. According to the Rangeland Atlas 54% of the world’s land surface is covered by grass, shrubs or sparse, hardy vegetation storing over 20% of the Earth’s soil carbon as well as playing a key role in global food production. The world’s grasslands are seen by many to be an undervalued source of climate resilience and food production primarily, due to difficulty of measuring and monitoring at vast scales. By combining cutting-edge technology, the Proveye platform delivers stakeholders in nature-based solutions and regenerative grazing, such as farmers, project owners, buyers of carbon credits, natural capital investors, food processors and insurance firms, the trusted data to confirm and deliver on claimed activities and targets to create high-integrity nature-based credits. Proveye, headquartered at NovaUCD in Dublin, was founded by CEO Jerome O’Connell and Prof Nick Holden as spin-out from University College Dublin. “This contract with ESA marks a significant milestone in our mission to help deliver nature-based solutions that drive climate resilience and sustainable food production,” said O’Connell. “We are excited to build on our previous success with ESA and continue advancing our technology to support the pressing need to produce more food in a more sustainable manner. Grassland ecosystems are under significant pressure from climate change and intensive agriculture. Our platform empowers farmers to manage grasslands more efficiently, give actionable insights to project owners and provide investors and corporates with empirical evidence on the impact of their nature capital investments.” He added: “Frequent and accurate metrics are critical to the widespread adoption of nature-based solutions and given the lack of significant financial commitments being secured at COP29 highlights even more the pressing need for platforms such as ours to give investors the assurance of impact on their investments.” TechCentral Reporters Read More: ProvEye start-upsWhile the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs are locked in a bidding battle for All-Star Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker, there is an interesting fallback option for the Yankees in left field. They reportedly have interest in Jurickson Profar, MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch reported . Once considered the top prospect in the game Profar’s career has largely been disappointing. Now 31, however, Profar is coming off a career year in which he slashed .280/.380/.459 with 24 HR, 85 RBI, and 4.3 fWAR. The switch-hitting Profar earned his first All-Star nod in 2024 with the San Diego Padres. Profar has shown his maturity as a hitter. Last year, he ranked in the 89th percentile in walk rate, the 88th percentile in strikeout rate, and the 90th percentile in both chase and whiff rate. Many believe Profar blossomed in San Diego because he did not have to be“the guy.” He just played his role on a team that featured Manny Machado and Fransisco Tatis, Jr. and in 2023 also included Juan Soto. The Yankees would provide the same ability for Jurickson to just stick to his role behind Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and their other stars. Profar is projected to command a deal in the three-year, $30 million range.

While the creator economy has had many large changes in recent years, a potential TikTok ban might ... [+] be the most significant. While the creator economy has had many large changes in recent years, a potential TikTok ban might be the most significant. Creators value the platforms’ algorithm as it’s designed for virality and democratized content discovery. Countless creators and small businesses have been in the spotlight and generated significant income streams because of this. However, with news of a potential ban, TikTok creators are feeling uneasy about the future of not only the platform but also the future of their businesses, creative outlets, and income . The potential ban has already forced creators to reevaluate their strategies, with many diversifying their content across multiple platforms. While some see the ban as a devastating blow, others view it as an opportunity to adapt, evolve, and thrive in new spaces. Creators May Lose Income Streams For many creators, TikTok is the primary source of their livelihood. Johanna Smarsh , who shares lifestyle and family-focused content on TikTok as @thatbohomom, noted how crucial TikTok Shop has been to her financial stability. "TikTok Shop has allowed me to stay home with my kids and provide consistent income," she shared, explaining that she earns between $2,000 and $5,000 monthly. "Losing that income stream will be very noticeable." While she’s successfully transitioned to Instagram, she worries about what will happen when creators flood other platforms. The fear of losing TikTok is even more acute for creators whose entire business models are tied to the platform. Cody Jay , who manages a social media agency and generates $200,000 annually from services that rely on TikTok, described the potential ban as “damaging.” Microsoft Warns 400 Million Windows Users—Do Not Update Your PC iOS 18.2—Update Now Warning Issued To All iPhone Users What We Know About Luigi Mangione: Police Have ‘No Indication’ Suspected Shooter Of UnitedHealthcare CEO Was A Client “TikTok is my largest and most secure revenue source,” he said. Without it, Jay would need to downsize his team and increase prices for other services. While TikTok is an income generator, it’s also the primary platform for connection and visibility for many creators. Kelsea Warren (@theseamlesscoach) credits TikTok for giving her a platform to connect with people who resonate with her content. "TikTok Corporate keynotes and brand partnerships wouldn’t exist for me without this platform," she explained. "If it goes away, I’ll lose my primary audience." Adaptation and Diversification in Uncertain Times Some creators are already pivoting their strategies in response to the TikTok ban rumors. Jada West , a creator with 46k+ followers on TikTok, shifted her focus to building a community on Telegram and reigniting her presence on YouTube and blogs. "When the news about the ban surfaced, I knew I needed to invest in platforms outside of social media," she shared. Similarly, Cara Jones , a stay-at-home mom creator with 285k+ TikTok followers, said, "I’m basically losing my job with no control. But it could push people to other platforms, creating opportunities for growth elsewhere." Not all creators are mourning TikTok’s potential demise. Even creators with massively large followings are not losing hope. “The demand for scrolling through short-form, full-screen video isn’t going anywhere—it’s become a fundamental part of how audiences consume content,” says Valeria Lipovetsky , a fashion & beauty creator with 1.8M followers on TikTok. The Broader Industry Perspective From an industry standpoint, the loss of TikTok could reshape the influencer marketing landscape. Roee Zelcer , US CEO of Humanz , believes the ban could drive creators and brands to invest heavily in Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. “Platforms with the best algorithms and user experiences will thrive,” he explained. “For brands, this is a wake-up call to diversify their influencer marketing strategies.” The Road Ahead While platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and Telegram may step in to fill the void, the impact of losing TikTok—a platform that has defined an era of short-form content—will undoubtedly leave its mark if this ban is pushed through. For creators, the key to thriving lies in adaptability, strategic diversification, and the ability to cultivate meaningful connections across multiple platforms. This is an opportunity for them to reinvent and continue to growth.
Trudeau says fall of Assad 'ends decades of brutal oppression' for SyriaThese Could Be 3 of the Best Stocks to Own in 2025SANTIAGO, Chile -- Chile’s prosecutor’s office confirmed Tuesday that President Gabriel Boric is being investigated for sexual harassment, in connection with a case in which the president says he was systematically harassed via email by a woman over a decade ago. The country’s attorney general, Cristián Crisosto, said in a statement that prosecutors have opened “a criminal case related to" allegations filed by an unidentified woman in September. The complaint alleges sexual harassment as well as the leaking of private images. Crisosto did not provide details of the alleged events, or say when or where they took place. Boric, 38, has denied the accusations through his attorney, Jonatan Valenzuela, who in a statement described the president as “the victim of systematic harassment via email.” The alleged harassment occurred between July 2013 and July 2014, when Boric was an intern in the southern Chilean city of Punta Arenas, near Patagonia, and was already a well-known figure in national politics thanks to his role in student-led protests a couple of years earlier. Valenzuela said Boric “never had an emotional or friendly relationship” with the woman and both have not been in communication since July 2014 when she is alleged to have sent the last of dozens of emails, some with explicit images, to the now president. Valenzuela said his team handed authorities all communications between Boric and the woman after learning of her complaint, to “clarify the status of the president as a victim.” ____ Follow AP’s coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean at https://apnews.com/hub/latin-americaEx-Colorado footballer Bloom dedicates time to fulfilling wishes for older adults
