DEAR MISS MANNERS: Due to the small size of our home, we host two holiday parties each year, essentially splitting one big gathering into two events so that we can see everyone. We send different invites to separate guest lists. It is always a little uncomfortable when friends talk to each other and wonder why one of them was invited on this day and another on a different day. Could I send an invitation that lists both parties, and let the guests RSVP as to the one they would like to attend? Of course, that would require guests to respond. Many don’t even send regrets, which is all we currently ask. I want to let my friends feel open to come to whichever is most convenient for them. Is that tacky? GENTLE READER: You are asking for a lot of trouble on behalf of people who do not even trouble themselves to answer your invitations. Even if this new plan prompts them to respond, what if they all want to attend on the same day? Lopsided attendance would defeat your judgment about the best use of your space. If it were Miss Manners, she would invite only polite people, thus giving only one party. Perhaps a very intimate one. But you presumably want them all, as you have been kindly overlooking the rudeness of ignored invitations year after year. So here is a kinder suggestion: Scrawl the phrase “‘A’ list,” as if by accident, somewhere on both sets of invitations. (Please send your questions to Miss Manners at her website, www.missmanners.com ; to her email, dearmissmanners@gmail.com ; or through postal mail to Miss Manners, Andrews McMeel Syndication, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106.)

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — Jalen Jackson scored 23 points as Purdue Fort Wayne beat Robert Morris 82-77 on Sunday. Jackson had six rebounds and three steals for the Mastodons (6-4, 1-1 Horizon League). Corey Hadnot II scored 13 points, shooting 4 of 11 from the field and 5 for 6 from the free-throw line. Rasheed Bello went 4 of 11 from the field (2 for 4 from 3-point range) to finish with 12 points. Alvaro Folgueiras finished with 25 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and two steals for the Colonials (6-5, 0-2). Robert Morris also got 19 points, four assists and four steals from Kam Woods. Ryan Prather Jr. finished with 14 points.

(AP) — Joseph Pinion had 22 points and eight rebounds, Dyondre Dominguez added 19 points and Arkansas State built a double-digit first-half lead to beat No. 16 Memphis 85-72 on Sunday. Pinion was 7 of 13 from the floor and 5 of 11 from outside the arc, giving the Red Wolves their second straight win and their first over a ranked team since 1991. Taryn Todd finished with 17 points for Arkansas State (7-3). PJ Haggerty led Memphis (7-2) with 29 points, and Dain Dainja finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Arkansas State held a double-digit lead for most of the game and led 68-57 with 8 minutes left. That was enough for the Red Wolves to defeat the Tigers, snapping a seven-game losing streak to Memphis. Arkansas State: The Red Wolves certainly got the nationally ranked Tigers' attention in the first half after they shot 7 of 18 from 3-point range and built an 18-point lead. The lead got to single digits a couple of times in the second half, but Arkansas State answered the pressure. Memphis: The Tigers suffered through a miserable first half, shooting under 20% late in the half. They turned up their defensive pressure, which cut into the lead, but Memphis never made a serious threat. Memphis got within 60-53 with 11 minutes left, but Arkansas State went on a 12-6 run that included 3-pointers from Pinion, Todd and Kobe Julien to stretch the Red Wolves' lead to 75-60 with 6:29 left in the game. Arkansas State's last win over a ranked team was when it defeated then-No. 21 New Orleans 76-65 in 1991. Arkansas State hosts UT-Arlington on Thursday, and Memphis travels to Clemson on Saturday.

Trump’s Travel Ban and Its Impact During his first term, Trump imposed a travel ban on citizens from predominantly Muslim countries, including Iraq, Syria, and Iran. This resulted in over 40,000 visa denials, and although President Biden rescinded the ban in 2021, there are concerns that Trump might reinstate such measures in his second term. Schools like Cornell University are particularly cautious, urging students from affected countries to return to campus ahead of time to avoid disruptions. As Trump continues to make pledges to reintroduce travel bans and strengthen ideological screenings for non-U.S. citizens, universities are advising international students to stay informed and plan ahead. Schools such as Harvard, Brown, MIT, and others are taking proactive steps to ensure their international students are prepared for any potential disruptions. Some institutions have even suggested students may face delays at immigration control.

President-elect Donald Trump has once again suggested he wants to revert the name of North America’s tallest mountain — Alaska's Denali — to Mount McKinley, wading into a sensitive and decades-old conflict about what the peak should be called. Former President Barack Obama changed the official name to Denali in 2015 to reflect the traditions of Alaska Natives as well as the preference of many Alaska residents. The federal government in recent years has endeavored to change place-names considered disrespectful to Native people. “Denali” is an Athabascan word meaning “the high one" or “the great one.” A prospector in 1896 dubbed the peak “Mount McKinley” after President William McKinley, who had never been to Alaska. That name was formally recognized by the U.S. government until Obama changed it over opposition from lawmakers in McKinley's home state of Ohio. Trump suggested in 2016 that he might undo Obama's action, but he dropped that notion after Alaska's senators objected. He raised it again during a rally in Phoenix on Sunday. “McKinley was a very good, maybe a great president,” Trump said Sunday. “They took his name off Mount McKinley, right? That’s what they do to people.” Once again, Trump's suggestion drew quick opposition within Alaska. “Uh. Nope. It’s Denali,” Democratic state Sen. Scott Kawasaki posted on the social platform X Sunday night. Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski , who for years pushed for legislation to change the name to Denali, conveyed a similar sentiment in a post of her own. “There is only one name worthy of North America’s tallest mountain: Denali — the Great One,” Murkowski wrote on X. Various tribes of Athabascan people have lived in the shadow of the 20,310-foot (6,190-meter) mountain for thousands of years. McKinley, a Republican native of Ohio who served as the 25th president, was assassinated early in his second term in 1901 in Buffalo, New York. Alaska and Ohio have been at odds over the name since at least the 1970s. Alaska had a standing request to change the name since 1975, when the legislature passed a resolution and then-Gov. Jay Hammond appealed to the federal government. Known for its majestic views, the mountain is dotted with glaciers and covered at the top with snow year-round, with powerful winds that make it difficult for the adventurous few who seek to climb it. ___ Rush reported from Portland, Oregon.

Syrian Army retreated very quickly, Iran FM saysFace of King Tut's grandmother is reconstructed using her 3,400-year-old remains READ MORE: World's oldest alphabet is discovered in Syrian tomb By ELLYN LAPOINTE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 19:33, 25 November 2024 | Updated: 19:33, 25 November 2024 e-mail View comments A photoshop artist has reconstructed the face of Queen Tiye, the grandmother of King Tut, using her 3,400-year-old mummified remains. The artist used the technology to overlay features such as eyes, a nose and mouth onto the image, fitting them into her remarkably-preserved bone structure. They then added hair, eyebrows, eyelashes and even freckles, bringing the corpse's face to life. The final result was a beautiful woman with dark, flowing hair, large brown eyes, a heart-shaped mouth and dark complexion. Queen Tiye was the Great Royal Wife of the Egyptian Pharaoh Amenhotep III , who reigned from 1390–53 BCE, and lived from 1398 BC until 1338BC. She was the mother of Amenhotep IV, also known as Akhenaten, and remained a prominent figure of Egyptian royalty even after he ascended the throne. Akhenaton went on to father Tutankhamun, or King Tut, the boy king who ruled from 1332 to 1323 BC . He became Pharaoh when he was just eight or nine years old, and is famous today because his is the most intact royal Egyptian tomb ever found. Queen Tiye's mummy was discovered in 1898 in the tomb of Amenhotep II in the Valley of the Kings, but DNA analysis confirmed her identity until 2010. The Photoshop Surgeon used an image of Queen Tiye's mummified remains to reconstruct what she may have looked like The Photoshop Surgeon, a digital artist who performs 'dramatic enhancements and radical transformations to photos,' revealed what the face of King Tut's grandmother Queen Tiye may have looked like using an image of her remains. The video shows the artist working with Photoshop, which displayed a picture of Queen Tiye's mummified face. They begin by placing eyes in the sunken eye sockets, blending the skin around the eye lids, and then they moved on to her nose that was carefully added to fit the bone left behind. The artist added long, curly brown hair that fit at the hairline on her skull and filled in the brow bone with little pieces of hair. They also added more skin to Queen Tiye's face, creating a plumped look as she may have once appeared. The artist also included her mummified hand that laid on her chest, but put life back into it, showing wrinkles around the knuckles and nails at her finger tips. Queen Tiye was the daughter of Yuya, commander of the Egyptian chariotry, and an Egyptian woman named Thuya. She did not have royal blood, but despite this, her husband favored her among his many wives and often involved her in state affairs. Her name even appeared with the king's on official documents. The artist overlaid features such as eyes, a nose and a mouth, in addition to hair, eyebrows and eyelashes to reveal the above result Queen Tiye's mummy was discovered in 1898 in the tomb of Amenhotep II in the Valley of the Kings, but DNA analysis confirmed her identity until 2010 Queen Tiye's remains were discovered in 1898 by French archeologist Victor Loret, but it would be another century before experts realized who they belonged to. Loret discovered two female mummies among several buried inside the tomb of Amenhotep II in the Valley of Kings - the burial site of almost all the Pharaohs of the 18th, 19th and 20th dynasties. Before they were identified, these mummies were dubbed 'The Elder Lady' and 'The Younger Lady.' Initially, experts believed 'The Elder Lady' might have been Queen Nefertiti, who ruled during the 18th dynasty as the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten - Queen Tiye's son. But a lock of hair found in a small coffin bearing an inscription naming Queen Tiye proved to be a near-perfect match to the hair of 'The Elder Lady.' And in 2010, DNA analysis confirmed that the remains belonged to the daughter of Yuya and Thuya - Queen Tiye's parents. Queen Tiye ldied sometime between the ages of 40 and 60. Scientists have also reconstructed the faces of King Tut and his father Pharaoh Akhenaten, showing they had similar features . Scientists used a skull discovered in the Valley of the Kings nearly 100 years ago to piece together the look of Pharaoh Akhenaten who ruled from 1353BC to 1335 BC. The digital image shows a man in his early 20s with a long jaw and piercing eyes, along with a skull shape and a pointy nose that looks similar to that of King Tut. She was the mother of Amenhotep IV, also known as Akhenaten, and remained a prominent figure of Egyptian royalty even after he ascended the throne. Pictured is a facial reconstruction of Akhenaten Akhenaton went on to father Tutankhamun, or King Tut, the boy king who ruled from 1332 to 1323 BC . Pictured is a reconstruction of what King Tut may have looked like The digital image of the Akhenaten was created by the Forensic Anthropology, Paleopathology, Bioarchaeology Research Center (FAPAB) in Sicily, which used a skull from a mummy discovered in 1907. Read More Ancient Egyptian cocktail recipe revealed: Disgusting drink was made from psychedelic drugs, human blood, breast milk, and vaginal mucus, study reveals Akhenaten married one of his sisters who gave birth to their son, but as a result of the incestuous relationship, Tutankhamen was born with numerous health issues that experts believe led to an early death. And a reconstruction of his face and body showed the world a glimpse of what ailments he may have endured. King Tut had buck teeth, a club foot and girlish hips, according to the most detailed examination ever of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh’s remains. And rather than being a boy king with a love of chariot racing, Tut relied on walking sticks to get around during his rule in the 14th century BC, researchers said. A ‘virtual autopsy’, composed of more than 2,000 computer scans, was carried out in tandem with a genetic analysis of Tutankhamun’s family, which supports evidence that his parents were brother and sister. The scientists believe that this left him with physical impairments triggered by hormonal imbalances. And his family history could also have led to his premature death in his late teens.
