Login or signup to continue reading All articles from our website & app The digital version of Today's Paper Breaking news alerts direct to your inbox Interactive Crosswords, Sudoku and Trivia All articles from the other regional websites in your area Continue With a hearing aid in her right ear, and a cochlear implant in her left, the vice-captain of Deaf Football Australia's national women's team has spent the better part of her 22 years trying to fill in the gaps. She sat in classrooms with "20 to 30 other kids who were noisy, loud, and doing their own thing" while teachers wore microphones which streamed directly into Newman's ear, just so she could pick it up. She had a note-taker attend lectures and take notes to help during her undergraduate degree. While studying postgraduate medicine at ANU, Newman can't hear using a regular stethoscope. Hers amplifies sounds by 63 times, just so she can hear a heartbeat. But in conversation, you wouldn't know it. "As a toddler, my mum had to write down every single sound I made to chart my progress and reflect on how I was learning the sounds I was able to make," Newman said. "Every single sound has been learnt. As a kid without hearing loss, you could just hear something, copy it, and learn to speak. You don't have to think about speech, you don't have to learn every sound and every word. Saskia Newman "It's absolutely incredible. The cochlear is fantastic. It gives me access to all these possibilities, to have a strong connection with my family, to have a career in medicine. It simply wouldn't be possible without the cochlear implant, no way. "It's not perfect, right? People with hearing loss, they work really hard in the background to fill in the gaps, to fill in the context and put together what a person said." Now imagine all that in a sporting context. Newman, who now calls Canberra home, will play for Australia's women's team in a double-header against Japan at Landen Stadium in Sydney's west on December 15. Officials are urging fans to get behind Deaf Football Australia's national teams with free entry to a venue which can cater for up to 7000 spectators. So if you're there, what's different? For a start, it might be one of the quieter games you could see. Saskia Newman is gearing up for a clash with Japan. Picture supplied "The referee uses a flag [instead of a whistle], and all the players don't have their hearing aids in. Everyone is truly unable to communicate via sound, you can't call out to anyone, so it's a very quiet game," Newman said. "It's a great way to come together with other people with hearing loss. It develops a lot of skills in communication, which is just absolutely amazing for a lot of deaf people, to come together, develop their communication skills, and play a game everyone is so passionate about. To play a game at this level, when you're representing your country, it's such an honour to be a part of that. "Financially, it's really hard for a lot of the players. We're funding ourselves often for the training and for the competition, but it's an amazing opportunity." Newman's family has been impacted by genetic hearing loss. She has had hearing aids since she was weeks old, her mum has one, and her father will soon receive a cochlear implant. When it comes to soccer, Newman has found more common ground. She joined Deaf Football Australia's program in 2021, when there might have been two or three girls at the start, and maybe eight at the next camp. Then there were 16, and a squad of up to 30 girls is "continuing to grow". MORE SPORT This Canberra star needed eight stitches.

To go to a place like Deaf Football Australia, where the environment is made for deaf people, it is made to support you, you're not tired," Newman said. "There's this thing called hearing fatigue. You can get hearing fatigue from being a part of society, where you need to listen and you can't lip-read all day. That's a big challenge for me, when I'm in the hospital on placement.

If the election campaign rhetoric develops into concrete action, Ireland stands out as potentially one of the big losers over the next four years of US Republican rule. Ireland receives four times more investments from US corporations than the EU average as a percentage of the economy. In 2024, the US flow of investment into Ireland continued at pace. IDA Ireland announced that investment approvals in the first half of 2024 reached a record high, maintaining the upward trend from prior years, predominantly coming from US corporations. The prospect of a global trade war and Mr Trump’s proposal to slash corporation tax to 15% , allied to the possible targeting of the strong US investment in pharmaceutical and the information and communication technology sector based in Ireland, could have particular implications for continued investment here and for the associated and enormous tax receipts. The macro picture remains mired by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, primarily associated with our extreme dependence on trade and investment with the US. Much of the risk could be reduced if we diversify our focus on foreign direct investment from the USA Diversifying the focus of foreign direct investment is overdue. Many think China, the second largest economy globally, is the obvious diversification option to pursue. There have been attempts by IDA Ireland to diversify having expanded their offices in China. However, Ireland has lost ground since Chinese premier Xi Jinping visited Ireland in 2012. Earlier this year, Mr Jinping’s first trip to Europe since 2019, the focus of his visit was Hungary and Serbia, the two largest recipients of Chinese foreign direct investment [FDI] in Europe during the past three years. Losing China's attention Between 2021 and 2023, China-based companies made €11.2bn of investment pledges in Hungary, and €6.5bn in Serbia, more than in any other European country. Compared to the cumulative €9.2bn Chinese investment to date into Ireland, it is clear that we are losing the attention of the Asian mega power. Mr Jinping’s trip is an “indicator of how different the world is today” and reveals a shift in China’s strategy in Europe towards smaller economies which are “willing to stand shoulder to shoulder” with Beijing. Getting closer to China is clearly a prerequisite for ensuring more FDI investments from Chinese companies, but it also puts the Irish Government in the diplomatically awkward position of luring many of the very Chinese companies that the US has sanctioned. Two examples are the telecoms firm Huawei and drugs company WuXi Biologics. In May, Ireland’s minister of state for trade promotion, Dara Calleary, welcomed a report celebrating how Huawei was contributing €800m per year to the Irish economy. The firm has three research and development centres in Ireland. This is the same Huawei whose telecoms equipment the US has banned since 2022 due to concerns over national security Britain has moved in the same direction, ordering phone networks to remove Huawei components, and mobile phone networks in many Western nations, including Ireland, no longer offer Huawei handsets. Meanwhile, WuXi has, since 2018, invested more than €1bn in a facility in Dundalk. Earlier this month, the US House of Representatives passed a bill to restrict US firms’ ability to work with WuXi, again citing national security concerns. In 2020, some 25 Chinese companies had operations in the Republic of Ireland. By this year, the number had jumped to 40 — inclusive of the European headquarters of TikTok, Temu, and Shein — but this is still minuscule to the 970 US corporations here. Given how much Ireland’s economy depends on FDI, some economists say Chinese investment in Ireland can be seen as a welcome insurance policy in case some US firms pull out. Others say Ireland is playing a “dangerous geopolitical game” for a small economy.

NEW YORK , Dec. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of ordinary shares of ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ: ASML) between January 24, 2024 and October 15, 2024 , both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important January 13, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. So what: If you purchased ASML ordinary shares during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. What to do next: To join the ASML class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31159 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 13 , 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the issues being faced by suppliers, like ASML, in the semiconductor industry were much more severe than defendants had indicated to investors; (2) the pace of recovery of sales in the semiconductor industry was much slower than defendants had publicly acknowledged; (3) defendants had created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to customer demand and anticipated growth, while also downplaying risk from macroeconomic and industry fluctuations, as well as stronger regulations restricting the export of semiconductor technology, including the products that ASML sells; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about ASML's business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the ASML class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31159 mailto: or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

A.Pep Guardiola claims three-quarters of the Premier League want to see Manchester City relegated over financial irregularities. But the City boss has vowed to stay on and lift the club back to the top even if they are sent all the way down to the National League. Guardiola ended speculation over his immediate future this week by extending his contract, which had been due to expire at the end of the season, through to the summer of 2027. That has given the club some stability at a time of great uncertainty as they fight 115 charges related to alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial regulations. City have denied all wrongdoing but their punishment if found guilty could be severe, with demotion even a possibility. Guardiola has strongly defended the club in the past and is happy to continue doing so. The Spaniard said: “I don’t enjoy it, I prefer not to be in that position, but once it’s there I love it because, when you believe in your club, and the people there – I believe what they say to me and the reasons why. “I cannot say yet because we’re awaiting the sentence in February or March – I don’t know when – but at the same time, I like it. “I read something about the situation and how you need to be relegated immediately. Seventy-five per cent of the clubs want it, because I know what they do behind the scenes and this sort of stuff. “I said when all the clubs accused us of doing something wrong, (and people asked) what happens if we are relegated, (I said) I will be here. “Next year, I don’t know the position of the Conference they are going to (put) us, (but) we are going to come up and come up and come back to the Premier League. I knew it then and I feel it now.” The immediate priority for Guardiola, who said his contract negotiations were completed in “just two hours”, is to arrest a run of four successive defeats in all competitions. Yet, ahead of their return to action against Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, the champions continue to grapple with a lengthy injury list. Mateo Kovacic is their latest casualty after sustaining a knock on international duty that could keep him out for up to a month. On the positive side, defenders Nathan Ake, John Stones and Manuel Akanji could feature and Jack Grealish is also closing in on a return after a month out. Much to Guardiola’s frustration, Grealish was called up by England for their recent Nations League games, although he later withdrew. Guardiola said: “I want the best for Jack and I want the best for Jack with the national team but the doctor said to me that he was not ready to play. “I know (England) want him but they have 200 players to select from and Jack was not fit. He had to recover from many things.” Kyle Walker played for England against both Greece and the Republic of Ireland despite limited game time since suffering injury in the October international break. Guardiola said: “If he is fit I like him to play in the national team. It is not a problem, don’t misunderstand me. “Kyle has a dream to make 100 caps for the national team. Do I want to cancel this dream? Absolutely not. “But if you are not fit, if you cannot play here, you cannot play for the national team. It is quite obvious.”
ST. PAUL — Kris Bolle is living the “van life” these days with Annie, his mini Australian shepherd. Bolle, 46, bought a 2020 Dodge Ram ProMaster cargo van this past fall. The Hayfield resident planned, essentially, a studio apartment inside. The van with a high roof has room for a full bed, a small kitchen area and a writing desk. ADVERTISEMENT He saves money by forgoing rent, but there is a cost — isolation. It’s a lifestyle he’s grown accustomed to since he had to hide his sexuality over the years, including in the Navy under the now-defunct “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, which allowed gay and lesbian service members to stay in the military as long as they weren’t out, he said. “I had to be very, very tight-lipped about me ... so I’m used to it,” Bolle said. “But yes, it wears on you. It wears you down, and you feel isolated and you feel left out.” About 48% of Minnesotans feel left out some of the time or often, according to the “Minds of Minnesotans” survey conducted by APM Research Lab. The poll also finds that about half of Minnesotans feel lonely, at least some of the time. More specifically, 13% say they “often” lack companionship and another 35% lack companionship “some of the time.” Results were similar when Minnesotans were asked how often they feel left out and isolated from others. Bolle was one of 3,399 participants surveyed by the firm Lumaris. He said he often feels a lack of companionship as well. He hasn’t been in a relationship since 2009. He often feels left out and sometimes feels isolated. “I’m isolated in the sense where I really can’t find a suitable partner,” he said. His social connections are at his nursing assistant job, which he looks forward to, Bolle said. He’s never thoroughly enjoyed a job as much as his role at a skilled nursing facility, he said. ADVERTISEMENT “Work is great. I get to see people, I get to interact with people. I get to chat and talk and all the things that you know, that people do,” Bolle said. “That’s really hard to find.” The APM Research Lab included these questions in the survey, conducted this year between July 20 and Nov. 22, to better understand what the U.S. Surgeon General has called “Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation.” The three questions used in the APM Research Lab survey were replicated from the widely used UCLA Loneliness Scale to help assess Minnesotans’ state of mind in the post-pandemic era, and possibly to help identify groups of Minnesotans that are faring better or worse with feelings of loneliness and isolation. In 2023, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued a report calling loneliness an epidemic, posing significant health risks akin to tobacco usage, obesity and addiction. Loneliness intersects with various aspects of people’s lives, said Carrie Henning-Smith, an associate professor in the Division of Health Policy and Management at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health. “Social isolation and loneliness have profound impacts on health, on mortality risks, on all of the ways that our lives play out within health, within that sphere, but in so many other ways, too,” said Henning-Smith, who conducts research on rural populations as the co-director of the University of Minnesota Rural Health Research Center and the Rural Health Program. According to the U.S. Surgeon General report, “the physical health consequences of poor or insufficient connection include a 29 percent increased risk of heart disease, a 32 percent increased risk of stroke, and a 50 percent increased risk of developing dementia for older adults.” ADVERTISEMENT A lack of social connections increases the risk of premature death by more than 60%, the report added. Mary Jo Kreitzer, the founder and director of the Earl Bakken Center for Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota, said the report is significant. “Just by him [Murthy] touching that subject, everybody remembers that he did,” she said. “People remembered that. Because I’m sure that everybody has somebody like that in their life, or they themselves are feeling lonely.” There’s also a stigma surrounding the idea of loneliness. “People are reluctant to admit that they feel lonely. It somehow means like that you’re unlikable or unlovable or there’s something wrong with you,” Henning-Smith said. “It’s important to have these conversations, because the truth is, just about everyone will feel lonely at some point in their life.” she added. “It's a universal part of being human.” Kreitzer said the data reported by APM Lab is comparable to other global and U.S. data on the subject. ADVERTISEMENT “Other studies, like this one found that loneliness peaks in younger age groups,” she said, calling it “a very interesting finding.” The survey found that the Gen Z cohort of 18 to 27, were the most lonely. “That surprises a lot of people, but I think it’s consistent with other data,” Kreitzer said. She said people assume that older people suffer from loneliness because they lack the social connections they once had earlier in their lives. The survey data, instead, showed that baby boomers, currently aged 60-78, are the least lonely of adult-age generations in Minnesota: 63% score as “rarely lonely” and only 7% indicated frequent loneliness. “Sometimes, like in the boomer generation, when people have retired, they actually have more time to build and strengthen connections,” Kreitzer said. “Boomers can be great at joining groups, pursuing interests, be that hobbies or fitness activities or book clubs or volunteering, and all of those are ways that can really help us build social connections.” She said her local YMCA in Grand Rapids is a hub of activity with engaged older folks. She sees them playing cards, working out, swimming and more. Gen Zers, however, are experiencing numerous life transitions. “During that age, they’re expected to separate from their family, to find a partner, to launch a career,” Kreitzer said. “So there’s been a lot of disruption in social connections that they probably have had in their life for a long, long time.” ADVERTISEMENT Henning-Smith called the loneliness rates among young adults “concerning.” Social media and technology may explain part of the higher rates. “People who live their lives online, people who are digital natives and were born into a world where they’re living their lives online, have fundamentally different ways of connecting with other people,” Henning-Smith said. “I worry that some of those skills and some of the infrastructure for connecting with people in meaningful ways and in-person connections might be lacking for some folks in younger generations.” Kreitzer suggests to those who may have frequent bouts of loneliness to acknowledge the feelings. Don’t ignore them. She advises them to reach out to family and friends to try to build or rebuild social connections. She also encourages people to join groups based on their interests. Kreitzer highly recommends volunteering because of the health benefits associated with it. “There’s actually research on that that, like, volunteering helps improve our own well-being,” she said. “It can actually improve our overall positive outlook, our mental health and well-being.” ADVERTISEMENT Back in Hayfield, Bolle said he tries to find community to fend off his loneliness. His location is a challenge because he finds groups in the Twin Cities some 90 miles away. He belongs to a spiritual group that meets once a week in Rochester, but that’s a 52-mile round trip, so he only goes from time to time. Bolle also prepares himself to encounter situations that bring on feelings of loneliness when he goes to Rochester on his weekends to run errands. “When I see families out having fun together, or groups of people, groups of young people, you know, out together and having fun, that can trigger pangs of loneliness,” he said. “I just feel like I’m missing out on human connection.” He said when he was younger, he bought into society’s emphasis on rugged individualism. “But it just doesn’t work, because you will almost ultimately, always end up feeling lonely,” he said. When he traveled the world with the Navy, Bolle said he saw community and family as top priorities in other countries as well as in the Mexican and Latino communities of Southern California where he grew up. “You really do need that connection with other people,” he said. “It’s almost as important as food and shelter, you know?” The data and the heart appear to agree.
