"LEQEMBI®" (Lecanemab) Approved for the Treatment of Early Alzheimer's Disease in MexicoHALIFAX, NS , Nov. 21, 2024 /CNW/ - Killam Apartment REIT KMP (" Killam " or the " REIT ") is pleased to announce that the previously announced proposed plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement ") was approved today by approximately 98.41% of votes cast by the REIT's trust unitholders and special voting unitholders, voting together as a single class. The Arrangement will simplify Killam's organizational structure by eliminating Killam Properties Inc. (" KPI "), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the REIT.

The Arrangement is also expected to reduce the complexity of accounting and legal reporting and of income tax compliance inherent in Killam's existing structure. The REIT has received an advance income tax ruling of the Canada Revenue Agency in connection with the Arrangement. Killam will seek a final order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) approving the Arrangement at a hearing expected to be held on November 26, 2024 . Subject to obtaining the approval of the Court, Killam expects the Arrangement will become effective on November 30, 2024 .

The King seemed amused as he laughed at British comedian Matt Forde’s impression of President-elect Donald Trump on the stage of the Royal Variety Performance. Charles attended the show at the Royal Albert Hall in London for the first time as patron of the Royal Variety charity, following in the footsteps of his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II. In a statement from Buckingham Palace, he said: “The charity’s crucial work in assisting those who have fallen ill, had an accident or hit hard times is as essential now as it ever has been. “I would like to thank all of those who have worked so hard to stage this year’s production and wish everyone a very enjoyable evening.” The performance saw political comic Forde reference the unfounded claims Mr Trump repeated during his presidential debate against Democrat candidate Kamala Harris earlier this year, that illegal immigrants from Haiti were eating locals’ pets in the small Ohio city of Springfield. Forde exclaimed in the president-elect’s voice: “They’re eating the cats, they’re eating the dogs!” He then turned to address Charles from the stage, saying in Mr Trump’s voice: “Your Majesty King Charles, you’re named after a spaniel – be very careful, they’ll eat you alive.” The King was seen laughing in response to the joke from the royal box. Charles appeared at the event without the Queen, who insisted the “show must go on” after pulling out of attending the performance on Friday evening as doctors advised that she should prioritise rest. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: “Following a recent chest infection, the Queen continues to experience some lingering post-viral symptoms, as a result of which doctors have advised that, after a busy week of engagements, Her Majesty should prioritise sufficient rest. “With great regret, she has therefore withdrawn from attendance at tonight’s Royal Variety Performance. His Majesty will attend as planned.” A royal source said the Queen was “naturally disappointed to miss the evening’s entertainments and sends her sincere apologies to all those involved, but is a great believer that ‘the show must go on'”. “She hopes to be back to full strength and regular public duties very soon,” the source added. The Royal Variety Performance will air on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player in December. Money raised from the show will go to help people from the world of entertainment in need of care and assistance, with the Royal Variety Charity launching an initiative to help those with mental health issues this year.
Home to over 200 residents, The Lima Towers are set to undergo renovations in the third quarter of 2025, according to Essence Development. The building is located at 790 S. Main St., Lima. Cade Higgins | The Lima News LIMA — The Lima Towers will soon undergo major renovations. Essence Development , which owns the Lima Towers and is based out of New York, was awarded $639,000 through the Department of Urban Development (HUD) Green Resilient Retrofit Elements Program (GRRPE). This funding will go toward a portion of the revamping. “Essence was awarded this money to support the sustainability improvements we plan on making to the building throughout the renovations, including the replacement of the domestic boiler, the roof, implementation of low-flow water fixtures, and the replacement of residential and storefront windows,” said Gabriella Rossi via an emailed response. The new windows and roofing system will have improved technology, leading to optimized building efficiency. The low-flow water fixtures are anticipated to yield around 30 percent savings in the building’s water and sewage. The bulk of the renovations will take place in each of the 200 units. Residential units Essence will be putting in new appliances, including refrigerators, stoves, and ovens. All units will receive updated finishes including new flooring, paint, cabinetry, and countertops. All bathrooms will be refinished with a new vanity, toilet, and bathtub. All units will be receiving a new floorboard heating system and a thru-wall AC unit,” Rossi said via email. Accessibility units Twenty of the 200 units will be remodeled to be fully mobility accessible and four of the units will be visually and hearing accessible in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. All public bathrooms and common areas will be mobility accessible. Common area improvements New flooring is expected to be put in common area spaces. A fitness center and computer lab are planned to be furnished, and the library and television lounge will be refurbished. Major building systems updates Renovations are slated to begin in the third quarter of 2025. Located at 790 S. Main St., Lima, the Lima Towers is a seven-story residential tower containing 200 one-bedroom units. Restricted to senior residents aged 62 or older or disabled residents, the Towers has been at least 98.5 percent full over the last five years. Reach Cade Higgins at 567-242-0351Rachel Hoff, Policy Director at the Ronald Reagan Institute tells Fox News Digital the vast majority of Americans prioritize national security and foreign policy despite campaign rhetoric suggesting otherwise. FIRST ON FOX : An overwhelming majority of Americans view foreign policy and national defense as being "somewhat" or "extremely" important to them, according to a new survey from the Ronald Reagan Institute that also weighed U.S. attitudes about rival nations and revealed which is viewed as posing the "greatest threat" to the country. As Americans await another change in the White House while the Biden and Trump administrations prepare for the executive reshuffle, and uncertainty has set the tone for what the U.S.’s geopolitical future will look like amid increasingly volatile relations with nations like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, there is stark uniformity in the way Americans view the topic of national defense. "Americans who cast their votes for different candidates share an unshakable core set of beliefs: the United States must lead on the world stage, backed by a strong military that can secure the peace through its strength," the Ronald Reagan Institute said in a report first obtained by Fox News Digital detailing its 2024 National Defense Survey results.

REUTERS/David Mdzinarishvili (REUTERS/David Mdzinarishvili) US 'SLEEPWALKING' INTO WWIII, EXPERTS WARN NATION IS UNDERPREPARED: 'WE DO NOT HAVE OUR CHURCHILL' The survey’s results – which reflected the answers from some 2,500 questionnaires issued between Nov. 8-14 through telephone and online based platforms – not only highlight that U.S. security and foreign policy issues remain important topics, but they also indicated that the U.S. should take the lead in major international issues. The opinion shows a divergence from the position frequently pushed by president-elect Donald Trump, who has long championed an "America first" policy, which some fear could isolate the U.S. during a geopolitically turbulent time as Russia’s aggression continues to ramp up in Europe, Iran remains a chief threat in the Middle East, and China continues to pose a threat politically, militarily and economically. "I think it's really interesting to compare some of the campaign rhetoric that we saw, frankly, from both candidates, and see where that is and is not resonating with the American people," Rachael Hoff Policy Director at the Ronald Reagan Institute, told Fox News Digital in reference to both Trump and his previous campaign challenger Vice President Kamala Harris. The survey also found that since the annual poll began six years ago, "a record high" number of Americans support "U.S. leadership and international engagement" with a strong support for a global military posture.

(Photo: ARMIN WEIGEL/dpa | usage worldwide (Photo by Armin Weigel/picture alliance via Getty Images) "This represents a significant 15-point increase since just last year and a steady upward trend from a low-point in the early 2020s," the report said, noting that this shift was most prevalent among younger survey takers which saw a 32-point jump this year for those under the age of 30, along with a 19-point increase for those between the ages of 30 and 44. WHAT DOES PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP’S WIN MEAN FOR US AMID WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA, UKRAINE? The drive for more U.S. involvement abroad particularly in East Asia, which includes areas like China and the Korean peninsula, the Middle East and Europe reflects the growing concern Americans have over not only the burgeoning alliance between Russia , Iran, North Korea and China, but on whether the U.S. military can stand up to these nations. While more than half of male survey takers, 59%, said they believe the U.S. could win a war against China, the female participants were more skeptical with only 45% expressing the same confidence, while 23% said they were unsure compared to 18% of male participants expressing the same. President Ronald Reagan waves to the crowd. More confidence in the U.S. military was displayed when asked if the U.S. could win a war against Russia, though again women signaled less confidence than their male peers, with 73% of male participants saying the U.S. would come out on top compared to only 56% of female survey takers. While it remains unclear why female participants were less confident in the U.S. military, the majority of survey takers collectively agreed that China is the U.S.’s greatest threat, though Russia as the U.S.’s chief enemy. TIRED OF UKRAINE? REMEMBER SOUTH VIETNAM "One of the biggest trends that we've seen in the last three or four years in the poll is really the consensus growing that China is the is the greatest threat that we face – that's really resonating with the American people, and it's something that clearly we've heard on a bipartisan basis from national security leaders in Washington," Hoff said. That doesn't mean that Americans don't perceive Russia, Iran, North Korea, or even the cooperation between those malign actors as a threat.

(Ted Aljibe/AFP via Getty Images) "In fact, one interesting takeaway from our poll this year is that 85% of Americans, a huge percentage...are concerned about the cooperation and collaboration between Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, and we're seeing that play out under the front lines in Ukraine," Hoff added. "We're seeing it play out in the Middle East and it's something that Americans want our government to understand and to get after." Hoff explained that though the survey – which reflected information made clear in the lead up to and after the U.S. general election – showed Americans prioritize paying for domestic issues like healthcare, border security and social security above the military and foreign policy-based initiatives, national security and geopolitics remain a major issue for Americans. "What we see from the poll across the board is that they don't see foreign policy and national security as something that they want to divest from," she said. "When asked to sort of put those in competition with each other, that's where it gets really, really tough. "But they clearly want their government to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time," Hoff said. "The perception that there's kind of a growing isolationist sentiment in this country really doesn't bear out in the data.

And it turns out, when you ask the American people, that's simply not the case," Hoff said. "They want America to lead from a position of strength. They want us to have a strong military," she continued. "They want us to stand up for the values of freedom and democracy around the world. And that's true on a bipartisan basis among both Republicans and Democrats, those who voted for President Trump and has voted for Vice President Harris."

WASHINGTON — American Airlines briefly grounded flights nationwide Tuesday because of a technical problem just as the Christmas travel season kicked into overdrive and winter weather threatened more potential problems for those planning to fly or drive. Government regulators cleared American flights to get airborne about an hour after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a national ground stop for the airline. The order, which prevented planes from taking off, was issued at the airline's request. The airline said in an email that the problem was caused by trouble with vendor technology that maintains its flight operating system. Dennis Tajer, a spokesperson for the Allied Pilots Association, a union representing American Airlines pilots, said the airline told pilots at 7 a.m. Eastern that there was an outage affecting the system known as FOS. It handles different types of airline operations, including dispatch, flight planning, passenger boarding, as well as an airplane's weight and balance data, he said. People are also reading...

Flights were delayed across American's major hubs, with only 37% leaving on time, according to Cirium, an aviation analytics company. Out of the 3,901 domestic and international American Airlines flights scheduled for Tuesday, 19 were canceled. Cirium noted that the vast majority of flights departed within two hours of their scheduled departure time. A similar percentage — 36% — arrived at their destinations as scheduled. Meanwhile, the flight-tracking site FlightAware reported that 3,712 flights entering or leaving the U.S., or serving domestic destinations, were delayed Tuesday, with 55 flights canceled. It did not show any flights from American Airlines. Cirium said Dallas-Fort Worth, New York's Kennedy Airport and Charlotte, North Carolina, saw the greatest number of delays. Washington, Chicago and Miami experienced considerably fewer delays. Amid the travel problems, significant rain and snow were expected in the Pacific Northwest at least into Christmas Day. Showers and thunderstorms developed in the South. Freezing rain was reported in the Mid-Atlantic region near Baltimore and Washington, and snow fell in New York. Because the holiday travel period lasts weeks, airports and airlines typically have smaller peak days than they do during the rush around Thanksgiving, but the grind of one hectic day followed by another takes a toll on flight crews. Any hiccups — a winter storm or a computer outage — can snowball into massive disruptions. That is how Southwest Airlines stranded 2 million travelers in December 2022, and Delta Air Lines suffered a smaller but significant meltdown after a worldwide technology outage in July caused by a faulty software update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. Many flights during the holidays are sold out, which makes cancellations even more disruptive than during slower periods. That is especially true for smaller budget airlines that have fewer flights and fewer options for rebooking passengers. Only the largest airlines, including American, Delta and United, have "interline agreements" that let them put stranded customers on another carrier's flights. This will be the first holiday season since a Transportation Department rule took effect that requires airlines to give customers an automatic cash refund for a canceled or significantly delayed flight. Most air travelers were already eligible for refunds, but they often had to request them. Passengers still can ask to get rebooked, which is often a better option than a refund during peak travel periods. Finding a last-minute flight on another airline tends to be expensive. An American spokesperson said Tuesday was not a peak travel day for the airline — with about 2,000 fewer flights than the busiest days — so the airline had somewhat of a buffer to manage the delays. The groundings happened as millions of travelers were expected to fly over the next 10 days. The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen 40 million passengers through Jan. 2. Airlines expect to have their busiest days on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Many flights during the holidays are sold out, which makes cancellations more disruptive than during slower periods. Even with just a brief outage, the cancellations have a cascading effect that can take days to clear up. About 90% of Americans traveling far from home over the holidays will be in cars, according to AAA. "Airline travel is just really high right now, but most people do drive to their destinations, and that is true for every holiday," AAA spokesperson Aixa Diaz said. Gasoline prices are similar to last year. The nationwide average Thursday was $3.04 a gallon, down from $3.13 a year ago, according to AAA. Charging an electric vehicle averages just under 35 cents per per kilowatt hour, but varies by state. Transportation-data firm INRIX says travel times on the nation's highways could be up to 30% longer than normal over the holidays, with Sunday expected to see the heaviest traffic.
Featured Stories Headlines Israel Local Andrew Guckes | Staff Writer The Jewish Federations of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey expressed commitment to maintaining aid for Israel as cease-fire talks press on while also expressing concern with the state of the Hamas hostages and general well-being of Israelis amid the 14th month of war since the terrorist attacks of October 7, 2023. Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia CEO Michael Balaban said things are moving in the right direction, but that doesn’t mean the ground-level impacts are lessened. “Though the cease-fire with Hezbollah seems to be holding, and there is hope for the ongoing negotiations with Hamas, Israelis still face severe hardships and anxiety from the war. More than one hundred hostages are still being held captive, over a third of Israelis in the north and south are unable to return to their homes, and just this week, an elementary school in Tel Aviv was destroyed by the debris from a ballistic missile from Yemen,” he said. In November, a cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah brokered by the United States ended more than a year of war that began prior to last October’s terrorist attacks but was heightened following them. The deal reinstated the cease-fire that ended the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war. This deal required the terrorist group based in Lebanon to retreat nearly 20 miles north of the Israel and Lebanon border. Hezbollah did not follow the rules set forth by this agreement, which eventually led to small clashes that grew into a full-scale Israeli invasion of their neighbors to the north in September 2024. Balaban said that the everyday reality for Israelis is still as terrifying as ever. “The security situation on the ground has remained volatile. Recent escalations in Gaza and the northern border have required increased aid and emergency response,” he said. “Reports of targeted attacks in key areas have only highlighted the urgent need for support. Our thoughts remain with those affected by these events, and we reaffirm our commitment to their safety and security.” For the Federation of Southern New Jersey, the name of the game has been fundraising. The organization said it will continue to do so for as long as it can. The South Jersey community has raised over $2.4 million thus far for the Jewish Federation of North America’s Israel Emergency Campaign, over $80,000 of which went directly to the families of Kibbutz Be’eri, a community attacked by Hamas on Oct. 7. Also, to this point, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia has raised $16 million in pledges for its various outlets for aid in Israel. “We [also] partnered with Cooper University Health Care to send trauma surgeons to Israel, providing the Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma course to Israel’s surgeons and emergency responders in need of trauma training,” Federation of Southern New Jersey CEO Jennifer Dubrow Weiss said. “We teamed up with the Israel grassroots organization P24 to bring displaced families from Israel to South Jersey so ten children could experience the magic of JCC Camps at Medford for two weeks.” Balaban said the organization’s approach since last October has been tailored to the needs of the moment. Immediately following the attacks, the Philadelphia Federation focused on rapid response measures like emergency fundraising, coordinating with workers on the ground for community mobilization and supporting events like rallies and marches. Now, the group is working to provide support to members of evacuated communities in Northern Israel, as well as long-term assistance measures, like physical and mental health care and community rebuilding. Eric Fingerhut, the president and CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America, is choosing to maintain a positive outlook while acknowledging the realities of the situation. “I am encouraged that the positive military developments could create a condition for a more lasting stable period for Israel and in the region. I also know that the end of the war will bring to light all of the trauma and damage that has been suffered the last 14 months in Israel, and that we as a community will have a huge responsibility to support our brothers and sisters in Israel for a long time after the fighting stops,” Fingerhut said. Balaban said that any further cease-fire would shift the organization’s focus from emergency relief to recovery and rebuilding work. The Federation has begun to work with people in Israel to prepare for these efforts when they do come, whenever that is. When the dust settles, it will be clear just how much destruction has occurred. “Even after the war ends it will take decades for Israel to recover and rebuild its sense of security,” he said. Dubrow Weiss said that the Federation of Southern New Jersey organized many events in 2024, and will do the same in 2025. “We are continuing to fundraise to support victims of terrorism in Israel and also to combat antisemitism locally as well as invest in security needs,” Dubrow Weiss said. “Our Jewish Community Relations Council of Southern New Jersey is especially focused on providing programs and resources to students and school administrators to equip them with how to handle antisemitism.” The Philadelphia Federation is taking similar measures to combat antisemitism at home. Officials from the organization meet with school board members from across the region to discuss antisemitism, as well as work with the administration at Swarthmore College, Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania. Balaban said that the important thing is to remain hopeful. “Despite the hardships, hope remains,” he said. “As we have done for generations, we will stand together in our commitment to creating a safer, more vibrant future for all.” [email protected] TAGS Jewish Federations of Greater Philadelphia Jewish Federations of North America Jewish Federations of South New JerseyBoost Your Portfolio With 2025’s TFSA Contribution RoomThe Gibbes Museum of Art honours Spike Lee
