BOONE, N.C. (AP) — South Carolina offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains has been hired as head coach at Appalachian State and will receive a five-year contract, athletic director Doug Gillin announced Saturday. The 44-year-old Loggains replaces Shawn Clark, who was fired Monday after the Mountaineers finished 5-6 for their first losing season since 2013. Loggains was South Carolina's offensive coordinator for two seasons and an assistant at Arkansas, his alma mater, for two seasons before that. He spent 16 years in the NFL as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Tennessee, Cleveland, Chicago, Miami and the New York Jets. “He brings experience as a leader and play-caller at the highest levels of professional and college football," Gillin said. "He is a great recruiter and believes strongly in building relationships. He is aligned with our core values of academic integrity, competitive excellence, social responsibility and world-class experience. This is a great day for App State.” Loggains' offense at South Carolina featured LaNorris Sellers, one of the nation's top dual-threat quarterbacks, and running back Raheim “Rocket” Sanders. Sellers and Sanders led the Southeastern Conference's third-ranked rushing offense. Loggains spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons as Arkansas' tight ends coach, and he worked with Sam Darnold, Jay Cutler, Mitchell Trubisky, Brian Hoyer and Vince Young during his time in the NFL. The Mountaineers, the preseason favorites in the Sun Belt Conference's East Division, tied for fifth with a 3-5 record in league play. App State was 40-24 under Clark, but the Mountaineers have failed to reach a bowl game two of the past three seasons. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

Woman, 95, lies on freezing pavement with broken hip for five hours as ambulance chiefs say she 'is not a priority' By TOM MIDLANE Published: 18:10, 30 November 2024 | Updated: 18:10, 30 November 2024 e-mail 4 View comments A 95-year-old woman told onlookers 'I'm going to die here tonight' after being left on the freezing pavement with a broken hip for five hours because ambulance chiefs told her she 'was not a priority'. Winifred Soanes was unable to move due to the pain she was in, after falling over in Christchurch High Street, Dorset, at 2.30pm while out her 92-year-old husband Andrew. Despite multiple concerned members of the public making repeated 999 calls for an ambulance, explaining Winifred was elderly and vulnerable, they were told she 'was not a priority'. Passing Good Samaritans managed to prop her head up with shoe boxes from market stallholders and a pillow from a nearby pub. Staff at Mountain Warehouse provided her with sleeping bags and charity shops gave blankets and hot water bottles to keep Winifred warm while she waited. Others provided coffee and food to help Andrew, who is an army veteran and diabetic and who refused to leave his wife's side. An ambulance eventually arrived at 7.45pm on Monday and took Winifred to hospital where she remains under supervision. To add insult to injury, Andrew developed a chest infection as a result of being out in the cold so long and cannot visit his wife in hospital. Winifred Soanes was forced to wait for five hours for an ambulance in freezing conditions after falling over in Christchurch High Street, Dorset The 95-year-old was watched over by husband Andrew, 92, an army veteran and diabetic (pictured left) with the local community donating supplies to keep her warm A number of concerned onlookers called 999 but were told that Mrs Soanes was 'not a priority' People who helped the couple have slammed the 'broken system'. Jennifer Baylis, who was working in a charity shop, said: 'I can't tell you how upsetting it was, she actually said "I'm going to die here tonight". 'She was in a phenomenal amount of pain and in such a vulnerable position, on a cold floor, totally reliant on complete strangers. She fell at 2.30pm and the ambulance finally showed up at 7.45pm. 'We were all distressed that there was no first responder available, no police officer, literally no one available to help for over five hours. 'You feel so helpless, I was so angry that they were in this position. It shouldn't be happening in this day and age. 'The NHS are fantastic once help is there. We know how hard they work. But something went very very wrong to leave a 95-year-old lady on the pavement of a high street at night.' David Lovell, who saw her fall and was the first to call for an ambulance, said: 'I can't describe how cold it was, and as it got dark, the temperature dropped really quickly. 'She was lying on the cold pavement and we couldn't move her because she was in huge amounts of pain.' The South Western Ambulance Service said handover delays at emergency departments remain one of the force's biggest challenges When others called again to chase up the ambulance, they were given no time frame for how long the wait would be. Winifred was eventually taken to Poole Hospital and is waiting for a specialist operation for her injuries. Andrew said: 'The situation was dire, but it's great to know that when they need to, the community all pull together to help.' A spokesperson for the South Western Ambulance Service, said: 'We are sorry that we were not able to provide a timely response to this patient. 'Any occasion where the care we provide falls below the high standards our patients deserve and rightly expect is unacceptable. 'Handover delays at emergency departments remain one of our biggest challenges. To ensure our ambulances are available to attend the next emergency call within the community, we need to be able to hand patients over within the 15 minute national target. 'We continue to work hard with our partners in the NHS and social care, to do all we can to improve the service that patients receive.'

I’m a Celeb fans slam ‘unfair’ challenge ‘fixed’ for Coleen Rooney and Melvin Odoom to loseThiruvananthapuram, Dec 20 (PTI) In a significant achievement, Technopark has been awarded A+/Stable rating for the fourth consecutive year by the rating agency CRISIL for maintaining a robust as well as proper financial position and progress, the state government said on Friday. Technopark, which is India’s first IT Park located in the Kerala capital, received A+/Stable rating by the Credit Rating Information Service of India Ltd (CRISIL) in 2021, after which it had maintained the same in the last two years as well, a release said. At present Technopark is home to 490 Information Technology (IT) and Information Technology enabled Services (ITeS) companies with a direct employability of 75,000, it said. It further said that the high to almost full occupancy in all campuses at Technopark with diversified clientele ensures steady cash flows. Additionally, the ongoing flagship projects along with the projects in pipeline were the critical parameters evaluated by CRISIL and helped Technopark achieve the A+/Stable rating again in 2024, the release said. Welcoming the achievement, Col Sanjeev Nair (Retd), CEO, Technopark, is quoted as having said that securing the A+/Stable rating from CRISIL for the fourth consecutive year underscores Technopark's unwavering commitment to financial excellence and sustainable growth. "This milestone reflects our team's dedication, proactive management practices, and the trust of our IT partners. It fuels us to push boundaries, ensuring a future-ready IT ecosystem that upholds global standards," he said. "The A+ rating accompanied by a stable outlook, highlights our park’s consistent ability to meet its financial obligations while maintaining long-term sustainability. This achievement is a testament to our strong governance, strategic management, and adherence to best practices in the industry," he said. Jayanthi L, CFO of Technopark, too welcomed the achivement and said, according to the release, that the stable outlook further reinforces its ability to navigate through economic fluctuations with resilience. "Being at the helm of such a legacy is not just a matter of pride but also a responsibility—to ensure that, through constant financial vigil, the organization reaches new heights," she said. She further said that by aligning financial and operational goals, Technopark has embraced a fundamental requirement for corporate sustainability and success by "serving as catalysts for operational efficiency".

None1. E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the "Ecstatic" shade, which reviewers say captures the some magic as " Black Honey, " the $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique that's blowing up on TikTok at a fraction of the price. It doesn't shift colors as magically as the other version, but it's a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lip to keep in all your favorite bags and haunts this fall. I personally will live, breathe, and die by the magic of $25 "universal" Black Honey version — it lasts FOREVER and also functions as the perfect blush — but it sells out so often that I am also deeply relieved to know it has a cheap alternative in case of lip emergency! Promising review : "I absolutely love this product. The dark color is perfectly sheer. It also adds the most beautiful color to your lips . I am a Clinique Black Honey lip fan, and this gives me the same look for a fraction of the cost. I love it and have multiple that I keep in various spots. Not sticky either, which is my biggest gripe about lip glosses. My hair doesn’t get stuck in this like some glosses, but I get the shine ." — Hamps5 Get it from Amazon for $7 (also available in eight other shades). 2. A TikTok-beloved "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀. Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon . With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $6.06 (available in two styles). 3. A set of delightfully ~~tingly~~ self-heating soothing foot masks made with Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint perfect for anyone whose recent step count is "too many." Nothing like a lil' vacation for those aching feet to lift your spirits! Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days! Promising review: "Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" — KS2018 Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97 . 4. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash infused with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers swear by for a cheap alternative to keep that delectably luxe scent on them all day long. Nothing wrong with smelling a lil' ~~expensive~~! I bought this after being peer pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering . My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry. Promising review : "TikTok item, lol. This did not disappoint! It’s so hard to find so when I saw Amazon had it back in stock, I purchased it! It smells so good." — Contessa Get it from Amazon for $9.99 . 5. Lottabody's Coconut Oil Foaming Curl Mousse designed for all hair types to give you satisfyingly hydrated, volumized, frizz-free curls at a FRACTION of the price of its competitors. Promising review: "I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel dried, and put my hair in a pony tail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price.

These are the first ones that I have tried and they are absolutely beautiful, and just after two days I have gotten so many compliments. The glue holds super well and the application process was super simple. I don't think that I will ever get acrylic nails again, as a set like this would likely be three times the price. " — Leslie and Paige Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 12 styles). 7. A stackable oval gem ring so gorgeous and well-made that reviewers use it as a temporary wedding ring when they're traveling. Psst — people love stacking it with other high quality Pavoi rings !

I wear it every single day, and I've gotten SO many compliments on it — friends are always stunned when I tell them how cheap it is! I've been wearing it for months now without any wear and tear that a quick cleaning won't fix. Pictures don't do it justice; it really does ✨gleam✨ like real jewels.

Great quality and very affordable." — kimberly Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 36 shades). 9.

(Seriously, reviewers are DRAGGING major brands in their comments, these are so cheap and effective.) Promising review: "What can I say, I saw a TikTok about this lipstick, and for $10 had to try it! The reviews are right, for some reason, this lipstick is better than even $20 name-brand ones bought from Ulta. Not only does it smell great, but dries in under a minute and survived eating a cupcake, a Starbucks drink, and an entire evening out, no smudging, and had to be removed with a makeup wipe. Fantastic product!!" — Claire Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $8.99 (available in five sets). 10.

A pack of instant cold-stirred foam caramel iced lattes so you can get all that delicious, decadent ~froth~ you love so much right from the comfort of your own home.

Promising review: "I was presently surprised by the taste, the latte foam, and how easy it is! This product is awesome!!

Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion , which TikTok is going *feral* over both because of the lightweight, long-lasting moisture, and the soothing, delicious smell that reviewers compare to more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works. Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing. " — Dragonheart Jo "Better than TikTok said! OMRyan Gosling, this is an amazing lotion!!! Run, don’t walk, and buy this lotion! The name is vanilla cashmere and that is exactly what this is!

My other bonnets had straps that dangled awkwardly on my forehead. This one has a seamless strap and it adjusts well. And not once has it fallen off my head in the middle of the night. Get it!

These little miracles suddenly were amazing! After twenty minutes, my eyes looked less sunken and tired and more natural in color with the right amount of puffiness. I even forgot about them for six months so imagine my surprise that they were still good to go and worked perfectly. They leave my skin feeling smooth and happy ." — Angela I Get 15 pairs from Amazon for $14.95 . 16. A bottle of truffle seasoning for an instant upgrade on homemade meals that honestly has become one of my only personality traits, to the point where I'm just like, begging you to try it. I should gatekeep this stuff so I can have it all to myself but it is such a delicious and satisfying and ridiculously affordable alternative to real truffles that I'm throwing the gates WIDE OPEN. *wheezes in truffle* Okay, I bought this on a whim because there's a sushi place down the street from me that makes truffle avocado sushi rolls, and I was like, I need these in my life, but I also need money to live. I decided to DIY it with a regular $4 avocado roll, and this seasoning and the umami bliss of it all basically exploded my brain. Since then, I've tried it on eggs, burritos, potatoes, chocolate mug cakes, and pretty much every sweet and savory thing I can think of. The best part is you really get an excellent bang for your buck — it's so flavorful that I've been using this for months now and have barely made a dent in the container! Get it from Amazon for $10.99 . 17.

This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok, and in between other compares products that were four times the price, I decided to bite the bullet and buy this — let me tell you, best decision ever! I shampooed my hair, then heavily massaged this in, from ends to scalp. The carton says 5–20 minutes... But I ended up leaving it in for two days! And after washing it out, my hair was so shiny, bouncy and CURLY! My curl recovery journey has been long, but this has helped restore so much vibrance and shape to my hair . My mom has been stealing it from my bathroom every couple of days, after having similar results on her hair. Going to need to buy a few more to ward her off." — curlyhead3 Check out BuzzFeed's full Elizavecca hair treatment review for more deets! Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.40 . 18.

" — Hyacinthe Snyder Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in nine colors). 20. Nuts ‘N More's Chocolate Maple Pretzel Peanut Butter Spread , which just put so many beautiful words in such a small space that I am salivating just TYPING them.

L’Oréal Paris Makeup True Match Lumi Glotion designed to enhance your skin's natural glow ✨ — perfect for anyone who wants a lightweight alternative to foundation or just a lil' extra low-effort, ethereal shimmer in their lives. Promising review: "Love love love this stuff. This is such a stellar product that is so versatile . Can be worn alone to put some glowy life to skin. Add to foundation or layer it. Beautiful. Use it as a base where you put highlighter on top. Mix some with moisturizer. This, in my opinion, is better than so many high-luxury brands that make similar products . And I am pretty sure it can be used by all skin types. It’s not oily feeling at all and it doesn’t dry out skin either. Just a total package. Can’t beat the price either." — Figgy08 Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in four shades). 22. A tiny milk frother that makes rich, creamy froths in seconds, because why stop at regular tea and coffee when you can have velvety-soft milk tea and lattes? Promising review: "So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video. However, I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use, and you make your at-home drinks feel so much more special.

A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks for three Laneige-like masks in *one* — this even comes in four different flavor combos so you can split them among friends, if you're feeling generous. ✨ Promising review : " This is the most moisturizing lip treatment in the market.

I gave it to my mother for her birthday, and she was quite impressed. She uses it as a place to put her rings when she is doing things in the kitchen. It’s the perfect size, and she was very impressed. I didn’t want to tell her how inexpensive it was, but isn’t that what you want in a gift? A big bang for your buck?" — NMW Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in four styles). 31.

Check out a TikTok of the carafe set in action. Promising review: "I saw this carafe in a BuzzFeed article. This is definitely something I needed that I didn’t know that I needed. I live in a two-story house with the kitchen on the opposite end, which makes me groggily navigate the stairs at night. I usually have a water bottle on my nightstand, but I decided I could upgrade. This carafe is a little smaller than I’d like but for the price, it’s really perfect and no-frills. It’s simple but functional. I guess you could use this for mouthwash, too, but it’s perfect for bedside water. I love that the cup covers the top when not in use so that the water stays clean. I would not hesitate to purchase this item again." — TheJadeMermaid Get it from Amazon for $12.89 . 33.

Psst — a lot of reviewers mention this has also helped with psoriasis, dandruff, and scalp tenderness! I use one of these and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo . I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thoroughly, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it a few weeks ago . And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice. Promising review: "I’ve suffered from dry skin and a dry scalp ever since I turned 30. The only thing that helps me is exfoliating. I was initially concerned that the product would be too rough and damage my sensitive scalp or too soft and ineffective. However, this brush is perfect for me. It does not tangle my long hair, it is easy to use and just firm enough to get the job done. My scalp no longer itches and the icky buildup is gone. I can’t believe something so affordable has made such a difference in the health of my scalp. I’ve used expensive shampoos and conditioners to no end with barely a difference. I wish I discovered this product much sooner!" — AH Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors). 35.

Psst — you can use these to freeze iced coffee or juice to add to your morning iced coffee or cocktails to cool them without watering them down! Promising review: "I was at a restaurant and they put one of these roses in my cocktail. I knew right then I had to make these at home and ordered these while at the restaurant. These are easy to fill and have rubber snaps that lock them tight. They come right out and you can even take just one out and leave the others for the next time. These are a hit at all of my dinner parties too! I have already ordered more as my friends all want these in their drinks!" — Siri US Get it from Amazon for $7.99 . 37.
