The lawsuit against former Attorney General Curtis Hill Jr. — originally filed in July 2020 after Hill's law license was temporarily suspended by the Indiana Supreme Court for violating the professional conduct rules for Hoosier attorneys by committing acts of misdemeanor battery — is scheduled for a five-day jury trial beginning Monday at the Marion Superior Court. The sole claim remaining against Hill after numerous procedural and pretrial rulings over the past four years is the accusation that Hill committed battery against each of the women by touching them in a "rude, insolent or angry manner," according to court records. Records show the women, including former state Rep. Mara Candelaria Reardon, D-Munster, and three former state legislative staffers of both political parties, are expected to testify about Hill's behavior toward them during a late-night celebration following the March 15 adjournment of the 2018 General Assembly. Hill repeatedly has denied the allegations that he groped the four women. Indeed, his denials were so strenuous prior to and during his unsuccessful 2020 attorney general reelection campaign that the civil lawsuit filed by the four women initially included claims of defamation and false light invasion of privacy, in addition to battery, records show. According to court records, Marion Superior Judge Patrick Dietrick granted Hill summary judgment on the first two claims and dismissed them in February 2023 after Hill argued he was immune from civil liability since he was acting within the scope of his employment as attorney general. Listen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Feed | SoundStack | All Of Our Podcasts The remaining battery claims center on Hill allegedly reaching into Candelaria Reardon's dress and grabbing her buttocks, Hill allegedly touching the back and buttocks of Niki DaSilva, Hill allegedly rubbing the back of Gabrielle McLemore for an extended period of time, and Hill allegedly grabbing Samantha Lozano around the waist and pulling her close to him — without the consent of any of the women, records show. According to court records, Special Prosecutor Daniel Sigler declined to file criminal charges against Hill in 2018 after Sigler determined he could not successfully make the case that Hill's actions amounted to either a felony or misdemeanor crime. But the five Republican-appointed justices of the Indiana Supreme Court had no doubt Hill committed misdemeanor battery since that was the basis for their professional discipline against Hill's law license. The civil lawsuit does not seek a specific payment from Hill. Instead, it requests the four women be awarded compensatory damages for the mental anguish, emotional distress and other damages they've suffered because of Hill's conduct; punitive damages in recognition of Hill's allegedly malicious behavior and to deter others from similar conduct; and all other appropriate relief the jury recommends.Shares of Automatic Data Processing Inc. .css-321ztr-OverridedLink.css-321ztr-OverridedLink:any-link{-webkit-text-decoration:none;text-decoration:none;color:rgba(54,119,168,1);border-bottom:1px solid;border-bottom-color:rgba(54,119,168,1);}.css-321ztr-OverridedLink.css-321ztr-OverridedLink:any-link.css-321ztr-OverridedLink.css-321ztr-OverridedLink:any-link svg{fill:rgba(54,119,168,1);}.css-321ztr-OverridedLink.css-321ztr-OverridedLink:any-link:hover{-webkit-text-decoration:none;text-decoration:none;color:rgba(47,112,157,1);border-bottom:1px solid;border-bottom-color:rgba(47,112,157,1);}.css-321ztr-OverridedLink.css-321ztr-OverridedLink:any-link:hover.css-321ztr-OverridedLink.css-321ztr-OverridedLink:any-link:hover svg{fill:rgba(47,112,157,1);} .css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink{display:inline;color:var(--color-interactiveLink010);-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;}@media screen and (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference){.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink{transition-property:color,fill;transition-duration:200ms,200ms;transition-timing-function:cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1),cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1);}}@media screen and (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce){.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink{transition-property:color,fill;transition-duration:0ms;transition-timing-function:cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1),cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1);}}.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink svg{fill:var(--color-interactiveLink010);}.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:hover:not(:disabled){color:var(--color-interactiveLink020);-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;}.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:hover:not(:disabled) svg{fill:var(--color-interactiveLink020);}.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:active:not(:disabled){color:var(--color-interactiveLink030);-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;}.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:active:not(:disabled) svg{fill:var(--color-interactiveLink030);}.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:visited:not(:disabled){color:var(--color-interactiveVisited010);-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;}.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:visited:not(:disabled) svg{fill:var(--color-interactiveVisited010);}.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:visited:hover:not(:disabled){color:var(--color-interactiveVisited010);-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;}.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:visited:hover:not(:disabled) svg{fill:var(--color-interactiveVisited010);}.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:focus-visible:not(:disabled){outline-color:var(--outlineColorDefault);outline-style:var(--outlineStyleDefault);outline-width:var(--outlineWidthDefault);outline-offset:var(--outlineOffsetDefault);}@media not all and (min-resolution: 0.001dpcm){@supports (-webkit-appearance: none) and (stroke-color: transparent){.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:focus-visible:not(:disabled){outline-style:var(--safariOutlineStyleDefault);}}}.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:any-link{-webkit-text-decoration:none;text-decoration:none;color:rgba(54,119,168,1);border-bottom:1px solid;border-bottom-color:rgba(54,119,168,1);}.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:any-link.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:any-link svg{fill:rgba(54,119,168,1);}.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:any-link:hover{-webkit-text-decoration:none;text-decoration:none;color:rgba(47,112,157,1);border-bottom:1px solid;border-bottom-color:rgba(47,112,157,1);}.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:any-link:hover.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink.css-1vykwuz-OverridedLink:any-link:hover svg{fill:rgba(47,112,157,1);} ADP rose 2.00% to $304.57 Thursday, on what proved to be an all-around favorable trading session for the stock market, with the S&P 500 Index SPX rising 0.53% to 5,948.71 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA rising 1.06% to 43,870.35. This was the stock's second consecutive day of gains.VANCOUVER, British Columbia & MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 24, 2024-- Proton Intelligence Inc., developing the first-ever Continuous Potassium Monitoring (CKMTM) platform, today announced the closing of its $6.95 million USD Seed Financing round joined by SOSV, We Venture Capital, Tenmile, LongeVC, 15th Rock, Exor, and Trampoline Venture Partners. The CKMTM platform is designed to transform the management of cardio-kidney-metabolic diseases by providing clinicians and patients crucial data about potassium levels on-demand. Potassium is both the most important biomarker in cardiac-kidney-metabolic diseases and the hardest to measure. Dangerous fluctuations in potassium levels—whether too high or too low—lead to cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. The inability to provide timely potassium levels to patients and providers is a major barrier to getting patients on the correct life-saving therapies. About 33% of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or heart failure (HF) unnecessarily stop life-saving therapy after a high potassium event, which ultimately results in a nearly 40% increase in 6-month mortality [ 1 ]. Proton’s CKMTM technology aims to provide providers and patients accurate, remote, continuous potassium levels allowing precise treatment of patients suffering from kidney disease or heart failure. "We are proud to be the first institutional investor in Proton Intelligence," said Mohan S. Iyer, General Partner at SOSV. "The team's exceptional focus and relentless execution inspire confidence, and we are excited to continue to support them as they move into clinical validation.” “We Venture Capital have been impressed by this true breakthrough in electrolyte sensing capability, which will fulfil a critical gap in the current care continuum for many patients at risk from dyskalemia. We look forward to working with the Proton Intelligence team on the next phase of their journey,” said Dr. Louise Warme, Head of We Venture Capital. The company has initiated clinical studies assessing the performance of CKMTM in people living with severely impaired kidney function such as the underserved population living with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or chronic kidney disease (CKD). According to the United States Renal Data System (USRDS), 14% of US adults have CKD and account >25% of Medicare spend. Patients with ESRD account for 7% of US Medicare expenditure annually [ 2 ]. “The ability to continuously monitor potassium will enable better data driven decision making for patients with late-stage chronic kidney disease or on dialysis, not only improving outcomes for these patients but saving health systems considerable costs,” said Dr. Steve Burnell, Managing Director at Tenmile. “This fundraising milestone represents a major leap forward for us,” said Dr. Sahan Ranamukhaarachchi, Founder and CEO of Proton Intelligence Inc. “We are immensely grateful for the trust and support of our investors, who share our vision of revolutionizing cardio-kidney-metabolic care. Their belief in our mission sees us funded through a number of clinical feasibility trials ahead of a pivotal study planned for 2026 and get closer to making CKMTM a reality for millions of patients.” About Proton Intelligence Inc. Proton Intelligence Inc. is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada , with R&D operations in Melbourne, Australia . The company is revolutionizing healthcare with its continuous electrolyte monitoring technology, starting with CKMTM for potassium (akin to continuous glucose monitoring in diabetes). The CKMTM platform addresses a critical challenge in cardio-kidney-metabolic disease management by enabling the safe implementation of optimal medical therapies.

By Gabriel Dike Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, Dr. Alfred Adewale Martins, has stressed the need for Nigerian leaders to be more sensitive to the yearnings of the people and improve the quality of their life. He said the need for a better environment for businesses to thrive in order to reduce the high rate of unemployment and the grinding poverty is more urgent than ever before. The cleric emphasised the need for leaders to prioritise the welfare of citizens over and above private and parochial needs particularly in addressing the widespread hunger, poverty, joblessness, and insecurity plaguing the nation. “Even in the face of policies that are deemed to have positive results on the long-term, such as the removal of fuel subsidies, the floating of the naira and the proposed tax reforms initiative, governments must ensure that the short-term negative effects of the policies on the immediate welfare of people are not neglected but factored into the planning and execution of such policies. “This is necessary if the people for whom the policies are being made are not to die before the positive results expected begin to manifest. At the same time, government expenditures must also show to people that it is aware of the sufferings of the people and so it should be sensitive in the things it spends money on.” The Archbishop added that it was necessary to provide an enabling environment for businesses to thrive and pay a lot more attention to the agricultural sector so that food security can be ensured. In a message signed by the Director of Social Communications, Very Rev. Fr. Anthony Godonu, the prelate described the recent loss of lives in Ibadan, Abuja and Anambra in their quest to access food palliatives owing to pervading hunger across the country as sad and depressing. According to him, it was worrisome that many Nigerians now find it difficult to purchase some of the basic necessities of life, especially during this festive season that should be a period of merriment, sharing of love, food, and other essentials that are the hallmarks of the season of Christmas. To forestall a repeat of such ugly incidents, he urged government, both federal and state as well as the legislative assemblies, to quickly identify and fix the loopholes in the polity that are responsible for breeding the massive poverty and hardship that Nigerian He advocated the appraisal of the nation’s existing laws and the enacting and enforcement of only proactive policies that would open up the business environment, attract investors, and create more jobs so that the citizens can afford their basic needs rather than depend on palliatives that offer only short-lived relief. Archbishop Martins advocated for more substantial investments in the agricultural sector of the economy so as to increase the availability of basic foodstuffs thereby reducing the high cost of essential food items like rice, beans, onions and grains. “If citizens have food in their homes, people would not endanger their lives scrambling for palliatives in the way it has happened. While praying for the souls of those who died in the recent stampedes in parts of the country, he also commiserated with those who lost their loved ones, praying that Jesus, the Prince of Peace would bring solace to the afflicted, comfort to the grieving, and hope to the despairing. “This special season reminds us of the profound love of God, who sent His only Son to redeem humanity. May the light of Christ illuminate our lives, dispel darkness, and fill our hearts with love, compassion, and kindness. As we gather with family and friends, let us not forget those who are less fortunate, the vulnerable, and the marginalised. May our celebration be a catalyst for acts of charity, generosity, and solidarity,” Archbishop Martins stressed.Taking A Stand: Van Kirk sisters among plaintiffs in lawsuit against MWC, SJSU
Radical tilt-ducted hybrid aircraft looks to redefine air travelOver 80 years later, Dec. 7, 1941 is a date that still lives in infamy. The attack on Pearl Harbor launched the United States into World War II and left an indelible scar on the American psyche matched only by the attacks of Sept. 11. A recorded 2,403 service members and civilians were killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor, according to the National Park Service . Efforts to identify those who died in the attack continue to this day. The attack led to one of the darkest stains on the modern American record, as in response President Franklin D. Roosevelt invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to imprison more than 100,000 Japanese Americans, many of them U.S. citizens , in concentration camps. The U.S. Congress apologized for the incarceration in 1988, a rare move , calling the program a product of "racial prejudice wartime hysteria, and a failure of political leadership" by Roosevelt and others. The incoming Trump administration has said they will invoke the act again to remove undocumented immigrants. Eighty-three years after the Pearl Harbor attacks, here's a look at some of the photos during and after the bombings that awoke the sleeping giant . Photos: Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941
'No special treatment' for Yingluck
The slump continues. German industrial production fell by 1% month-on-month in October from -2.5% MoM in September. On the year, industrial production is down by almost 5%. This is a very weak start to the fourth quarter, increasing the risk of a winter recession in Germany. Industrial outlook still not looking too rosy German industry has been the best example of the entire economy’s problems over the last few years: stuck between cyclical and structural headwinds and coming to terms with the fact that the traditional macro business model of cheap energy and easily accessible large export markets is no longer working. This is why almost five years after the start of the pandemic, German industrial production is still more than 10% below its pre-pandemic level. Looking ahead, underneath very volatile monthly data, there is a clear bottoming out emerging. At the same time, however, inventory levels are still increasing and have now been at elevated levels for an unprecedented amount of time. As a result, a cyclical rebound in industrial production could still surprise over the coming months. On a less positive note, unfortunately, capacity utilisation in manufacturing remains at its lowest level since 2020. It’s only in food and apparel production where capacity utilisation is currently at historical averages. This is not exactly a flattering picture for an industrial powerhouse. And there is more. A modern and potentially more aggressive version of ‘beggar-thy-neighbour’ economic policies in the US could not only harm German exports but also German investments if companies were to relocate production to the US. Add to this latest the political woes for Germany’s second most important export partner, France, and the outlook for German industry doesn’t exactly look very rosy – at least not beyond a short-lived cyclical rebound.

Expanded CFP field draws more bets and on more teamsAspiring and controversial MAGA cheerleader Valentina Gomez has after posting a video in which she appears to simulate executing an . The 25-year-old, who tried and failed to be elected as the , said in the disturbing clip that undocumented persons who committed violent crimes “deserve to be ended.” In the video, posted to X on Monday, Gomez is seen firing a handgun into the back of the head of a dummy tied to a chair with a black bag over its head. “It’s that simple, public executions for any illegal that rapes or kills an American. They don’t deserve deportation, they deserve to be ended,” she says. Public executions for any illegal that rapes or kills an American. — Valentina Gomez (@ValentinaForUSA) The video has been flagged by X as potentially violating the platform’s rules against “violent speech,” but it had not been removed as of Tuesday. “Public executions for any illegal that rapes or kills an American.” Gomez captioned the video. It quickly sparked outrage from other social media users, with some branding the Colombian native as a “psychopath.” “What’s wrong with these people?” one wrote. “They’re unhinged, mentally ill, and sociopathic,” replied another. Critics even included , who wrote: “She is not just an American fascist. She is Colombian. And being a migrant, what she wants is to unleash hatred against migrants. Most Americans are killed by Americans.” However, others seemed to agree with Gomez’s stance, including fellow MAGA firebrand and Trump acolyte Laura Loomer who posted. “Love this.” After X started restricting the video, Gomez claimed that she was “the biggest threat to the establishment because I call it like I see it.” “I give people hope, and I don’t need their money. Remember, nobody is coming to save us. Stay strapped,” she said. The sentiment of Gomez’s video echoes that of President-elect , who has previously called for expanding the death penalty to those people who have arrived in the country illegally who kill a citizen or police. Trump has railed against Joe Biden’s decision to pardon the majority of federal death row inmates. Gomez has frequently shared outrageous or shocking videos on her social media pages and has consequently been banned from Instagram. In previous clips she frequently used homophobic slurs, and in one video, set two LGBTQ-inclusive books on fire. She has characterized the literature as “grooming, indoctrinating and sexualizing.” During the 2024 election campaign she called Vice President Kamala Harris a “hoe” and “little b****”, used the word “f****t” to describe transgender people and described Democrats as “full of gay s***”, among other things. Her bold rhetoric ultimately did not play well with voters. Gomez gained only 7.4 per cent of the vote with finishing sixth out of eight candidates in the race for . Last week she announced that she was running for Congress in and relocating to the state to challenge Republican congressman Dan Crenshaw’s seat. “I don’t fear pdfs, criminals, or the crooks in DC. I only fear God,” she wrote in a post announcing the move.
