As we approach 2025, many are stocking up their cupboards with what they believe to be healthy foods for their weight loss and fitness goals. However, these efforts could be undermined by the sneaky addition of sugars. This hidden component is prevalent in numerous food products, even those marketed as diet or fitness-friendly, and is typically buried within the nutritional information on packaging. A 2023 study by The Lancet revealed that individuals with high-sugar diets had an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Highlighting our potential misconceptions about healthy eating, one study singled out low-calorie drinks for their negative impact on cardiovascular disease risk, despite appearing healthier than regular fizzy drinks. Currently, it's estimated that the average UK adult consumes more than double the recommended daily sugar intake. This not only boosts the body's fat storage, particularly around the belly, but also impacts metabolic and cardiovascular health, increasing the risk of serious conditions like diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Despite most folks knowing that the added sugars in treats like sweets and chocs play havoc with our health, they might not clock it's lurking in loads of other products—take granola bars, for example. Fitness experts at Ski Famille have explained how to dodge this crafty component, starting with its aliases on food labels. They shared: "Sugar hides under many names, including fructose, sucrose, and corn syrup. Check ingredient lists on packaged foods to spot these sneaky additions." Getting your apron on and rustling up grub from scratch can make sure you're clued up on your sugar intake, while swapping out the processed munchies for natural nosh like nuts, seeds and fruit could cut down your sugar consumption. For those sweet tooths out there—the boffins suggest giving natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup a whirl; synthetics are bad news, upping your risk of heart issues. Cutting back on sugary drinks, the diet ones too, is another hefty stride towards smashing your 2025 health and fitness objectives.It was a murder case almost everyone had an opinion on. O.J. Simpson 's “trial of the century” over the 1994 killings of his ex-wife and her friend bared divisions over race and law enforcement in America and brought an intersection of sports, crime, entertainment and class that was hard to turn away from . In a controversial verdict, the football star-turned-actor was acquitted in the criminal trial but later found civilly liable in the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Years later, he served nine years in prison on unrelated charges. His death in April brought an end to a life that had become defined by scrutiny over the killings. But he was just one of many influential and noteworthy people who died in 2024. Alexei Navalny, who died in prison in February, was a fierce political foe of Russian President Vladimir Putin, crusading against corruption and staging protests against the Kremlin.

Business leaders who died this year include: Indian industrialist Ratan Tata, The Home Depot co-founder Bernard “Bernie” Marcus, financier Jacob Rothschild and Daiso retail chain founder Hirotake Yano. Simpson wasn't the only athlete with a complex legacy who died this year.

Other noteworthy sports figures who died include: basketball players Jerry West and Dikembe Mutombo; baseball players Willie Mays and Fernando Valenzuela; and gymnastics coach Bela Karolyi. The music industry lost a titan in producer Quincy Jones , who died in November. His many contributions included producing Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” album and working with hundreds of other musicians over a long and storied career. Other artists and entertainers who died this year include: actors James Earl Jones, Chita Rivera, Donald Sutherland, Gena Rowlands, Louis Gossett Jr., Shelley Duvall, Kris Kristofferson, Sandra Milo, Anouk Aimée, Carl Weathers, Joyce Randolph, Tony Todd, Shannen Doherty and Song Jae-lim; musicians Sergio Mendes, Toby Keith, Phil Lesh, Melanie, Dickey Betts, Françoise Hardy, Fatman Scoop, Duane Eddy and Frankie Beverly; filmmakers Roger Corman and Morgan Spurlock; authors Faith Ringgold and N.

Vanda Murray doesn't think she would have made it to every night and weekly weightlifting. or signup to continue reading She is just weeks away from her 103 birthday and is the oldest gym goer at Burnie's Healthglo Fitness and Leisure Centre, in Tasmania. Ms Murray said she made the decision to start going to the gym almost two decades ago while living in Western Australia. "I knew someone who went to the gym and she was ," Ms Murray said. "I was so pleased because everyone at the gym was enjoying it and it kept them happy. "And that's the main thing isn't it? Happiness?" After moving to Tasmania eight months ago, Ms Murray started attending the Park Grove's gym Living Longer Living Stronger class, which is designed to inspire the older generation to keep strong and fit. Although she is unable to stand up on her own, the 102-year-old does all the exercises while sitting in her walker. She said the class helps her stay social and active. "I just have a chat and a giggle with the other people," Ms Murray said. "They're just happy people and they make me feel happy." Ms Murray's love for the gym is also paired with her other life pleasure; champagne. She has a glass before bed every night, and is famous among her friends and family for making boozy chocolate and cakes. Ninty-three-year-old Graeme Wheeler only stepped foot in the gym for the first time five years ago. He also attends the living longer class. Mr Wheeler, who still lives independently and prides himself on his vegetable garden, said he joined the classes after a failed double knee replacement that left him unable to bend his legs. "I kept falling over and broke a wrist one time so I was recommended to do balance exercises," Mr Wheeler said "At my age, I don't want to have any more falls." Mr Wheeler, who celebrated his 155 day of exercise last month, said going to the gym has helped his mind, motivation, balance and physical health. "They tell me if you don't use it, you lose it," he said. "The classes have activated my mind more and I have to keep my eye on where my feet are at all times." For Mr Wheeler, who spent his working life as a carpenter, he said the secret to a long life is to keep moving. "The only thing I can say is be active, don't sit around watching TV all day," he said.

Matchday 18 of Premier League saw VAR and refereeing decisions spark controversy, from Jhon Duran’s red card to Joao Pedro escaping punishment, leaving fans and pundits questioning consistency. New Delhi: Matchday 18 produced some top tier drama not just in terms of results, but also a few turn of events that made many people question the referees and VAR decisions. In the game against Aston Villa and Newcastle, the Villans went 1-0 down in just the second mintue of the game when Anthony Gordon scored a stunning goal for the home side. However, Unai Emery’s side suffered yet another blow in the 32nd minute of the game when they were down to 10 men after their young star Jhon Duran was given a controversial red card. The young forward saw red after VAR provided their conclusion after judging the tussle between Duran and Newcastle’s Fabian Schar. Anthony Taylor didn’t even take a look at the replay, he decided to issue a red card to Duran that only made matters worse for the Villans. However, the internet saw fans putting up their opinions that the forward didn’t deserve to be booked after he appeared to stamp on the defender during their tussle, which led to his dismissal. The pundits also claimed that due to the momentum in which he was running, there was n oway he could have stopped himself from not making the contact with the Swiss defender. Something bizzare happened in the Premier League meeting between Brighton and Brentford that saw the Seagulls’ striker Joao Pedro not being booked after a VAR check on his aggresive swing of elbow that just missed the Brentford player Yegor Yarmolyuk. Although it could have been a lot worse, Pedro certainly deserved atleast a yellow card for that aggressive behaviour according to some fans on social media. However, the striker survived it as no card was issued to him. What Premier League had to say and other’s thoughts on this Have the Premier League referees lost the credibility? Recently it has been confirmed that Aston Villa’s appeal for Jhon Duran’s red card was rejected by Football Association which has left the club in shock. Unai Emery blasted the referees for the call, claiming it ended the match as Newcastle easily defeated a 10-man opposition 3-0. The manager of Villa, who has previously supported the use of video assistance referee technology, was baffled that it did not step in at St. James’ Park. “The red card was clear for the referee straight away, he was the only person in the stadium who couldn’t take his time,” Emery claimed. “He has to be intelligent to take time and get the right decision. “In this case you have to use the VAR. He has to be smart, and calm. It has to be like that.” It was pretty clear that the VAR was very much needed in this situation that brewed up and Anthony Taylor decided to take the matters in his own hands and issuing a straight red that left the visitors frustrated. Unai Emery also claimed that this was the turning point in the game when their star forward was sent off which led to Newcastle scoring two more goals and ending the game 3-0 to their liking. Meanwhile, according to many it was a baffling decision by the VAR when they decided not to issue a card to Joao Pedro, who’s actions seemed like he deserved atleast a yellow card.

Steve Smith's greatest asset has become his worst nightmare, and it was exposed by an extraordinary career-first on the . Smith became one of Jasprit Bumrah's four victims as the India captain produced a devastating opening spell on Friday in the . Bumrah trapped Smith plumb in front as the former captain's renowned hand-eye coordination abandoned him again. The first-ball dismissal marked just the second golden duck of Smith's illustrious career, and his first in a home Test match. And the method of dismissal sparked ugly questions about whether Smith's greatest asset is no more. The 35-year-old has made a career out of shuffling across his stumps and daring bowlers to aim for his pads. His hand-eye coordination is so impeccable that he rarely misses a ball on his pads, and happily takes the runs on offer when bowlers try and target the stumps. But his dismissal on Friday showed how that plan might be bringing about his downfall. Smith's hand-eye coordination might be dissipating in the twilight of his career, and it's posed questions about how much longer he'll be playing Test cricket. It marked the third-straight innings in which he's been dismissed lbw, after being trapped in front in both innings of the second Test in Christchurch in March (for 11 and nine). He was also out lbw in the first innings of the second Test against the West Indies in January, and four of his last six dismissals have been trapped in front. A move back to the middle-order would seemingly make his life easier after the failed experiment of using him as an opener last summer. But it lasted just one delivery on Friday after Smith came to the crease at 2-19 in just the seventh over. As cricket writer Andrew Wu wrote on social media: "Steve Smith’s technique challenges bowlers to attack his pads. In his prime, he loved it, knowing he’d get easy runs if they bowled straight. Now, he’s missing balls he used to hit. The eye is not as sharp. The best problem solver in the game has a big problem to solve." Aussie legend Mark Waugh wasn't willing to write Smith off after just one innings of a five-Test series, but admitted it was concerning. “I don’t want to read too much into it today," he said on Fox Sports. "The pitch is doing enough at pace and Bumrah is a world class bowler. "People have always questioned Steve Smith’s technique over the years, and he always responds. He’s a good problem solver. I think his footwork at times, he can go too far across (to) the off-side. So I think it’s something he’s aware of. But I think today, the first ball, I don’t want to read too much into that.” This is exactly how Steve Smith *should* have been getting out over the last decade. His hand eye coordination knew no equal at one stage, but in 2024 he is a shadow of the batter he used to be. — markus (@markusc__) Smith is going below 50 by end of his career unless he figures his flaw out . He is a hand eye coordination type player so it was bound to happen . Labuschagne I believe is still a good batter and will score tons of runs ,I expect a century at Gabba or Sydney against Us — Darkpheonix86 (@AbhisekBChoudh2) Players who depend on too much on their hand eye coordination tend to normally struggle at the end of the career because they haven't got reflexes. They need to change technique to avoid lbws. — R RAJEEV NAIK (@rajeevaryan21) Everyone knew as soon as he lost his eye he was done. — Ex-panda (@rlexpanda) Poor technique against Indian bowlers. Standing on off stump line and playing the ball coming sharply inwards! It’s obvious bumrah gonna give that delivery but why smith and Labuachane has similar technique? Making themselves uncomfortable — AR Tamil (@19ART9) Smith will be pivotal to Australia's hopes of regaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy from India, who have won the last four Test series against the Aussies. His recent struggles, coupled with those of teammate Marnus Labuschagne, pose a huge headache for Australia - and they'll need to turn things around quickly. After bowling out India for just 150, Australia were reduced to 7-67 at stumps on the opening day. Bumrah took four scalps during a blistering display, as the Aussies were put on the brink of conceding what appeared to be an unthinkable first innings deficit.
Jacksonville defeats East Tennessee State 60-52FIA and Extreme H progress first-ever off-road hydrogen racing World CupPoint: The top five moments of 2024In pardoning his son Hunter, President Joe Biden opened himself up to fierce criticism from both sides of the aisle, with many accusing him of violating norms. But, while this case stands out as being particularly controversial, the power to issue pardons has been used by nearly all of Biden’s predecessors, including President-elect Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama. In fact, since the founding of the republic, every U.S. president has delivered pardons — questionable or otherwise — with just two exceptions. William Henry Harrison and James Garfield hold the distinction of being the only presidents not to grant clemency during their time in the White House, according to historians. “Both died in office and served the shortest administrations in American history,” Louis Picone, an adjunct professor of history at William Paterson University, told McClatchy News. “There’s nothing — say, in their character — to suggest that they wouldn’t have (issued pardons) if they could have,” Taylor Stoermer, a historian at Johns Hopkins University, told McClatchy News. “They just didn’t have the chance.” Harrison William Henry Harrison, a Whig politician from Virginia, became the ninth president of the U.S. upon his inauguration in March 1841. However, less than one month into his first term, he developed pneumonia and died on April 4 — becoming the first president to pass away while in office, according to White House records. “Harrison died 31 days after taking the oath of office and was sick through much of his brief term,” said Picone, the author of “The President is Dead!” “He did little of substance during that time, let alone presidential pardons.” “There wasn’t even a thought given to pardons,” Stoermer said. This is because — much like today — pardons are typically doled out toward the end of a president’s term, Thomas Balcerski, a presidential historian at Eastern Connecticut State University, told McClatchy News. Additionally, “as compared to modern presidents, the power of clemency was but rarely used in the 19th century,” Balcerski said. For example, George Washington didn’t issue his first pardon until he’d been in office for five years, Picone said. Garfield James Garfield, America’s 20th president, similarly met an untimely end while in office. A longtime Democratic representative from Ohio, he was elected in 1880 and inaugurated in March 1881. However, four months into his term, on July 2, he was shot by a disgruntled lawyer while at a train station in Washington, D.C. He then spent the next few months “in agony and out of action” and “rapidly deteriorated,” Picone said. He was “effectively done for the next 79 days until he died” on Sept. 19 — before issuing a single pardon, Stoermer said.
The hills are alive. Anaconda residents won’t hear nuns singing from the slopes of A-Hill or C-Hill. Yet they might savor a songbird’s serenade or a mule deer fawn's bleats and bawls as the animals find cover in recently-rooted shrubs and trees. A current document from the state’s Natural Resource Damage Program describes the recovery of vegetation and wildlife habitat in the landmark hills above Anaconda — a revival aided and abetted by the copper smelter’s closing in 1980, by human toil since then and the passage of time. Both the vegetation and Anaconda have begun to thrive in recent years. The Natural Resource Damage Program, or NRDP, aims to restore vegetation and other natural resources lost to pollution from more than 100 years of toxic smelter emissions. It’s all part of the federal Superfund process that guides remediation and restoration. NRDP’s mission also includes addressing a century of lost recreational opportunities. The program has funds available toward that end reached in a 2008 settlement with Atlantic Richfield. Enter the Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Open Lands Plan. Adopted in early 2024, the 142-page plan reports, “The Anaconda community prioritizes the development of a comprehensive, interconnected multi-use trail system that caters to various activities and skill levels.” Enter the Anaconda Trail Society, a nonprofit with about 100 active members. It has proposed creating a recreational trail that would link Birch Street in east Anaconda to the Sunnyside area in west Anaconda. As envisioned, the 3.5-mile non-motorized trail would serve walkers, hikers, bicyclists and, possibly, riders on horseback. On Monday, Emily Adams, president of the Anaconda Trail Society, described the proposed path as a single-track trail. Some accounts of single-track trails describe them as being only as wide as a mountain bike. American Trails reports that a single-track mountain bike trail is typically between 12 inches and 30 inches wide. Adams said the Birch to Sunnyside trail would likely be 36 inches to 48 inches wide. She said a hiker or biker might need to step aside to let the other pass. Signage would explain and encourage trail etiquette, Adams said, and the proposed trail’s comparatively even grade would not enable cyclists to come barreling around curves. Anaconda-Deer Lodge County is poised to purchase the A-Hill property with $200,000 in NRDP funds. The city-county already owns acreage on C-Hill. As a result, as envisioned, the trail would travel across Anaconda-Deer Lodge County property. A 2008 Consent Decree with Atlantic Richfield/BP provided about $13.3 million to the state for natural resource damages suffered by pollution-impacted lands on Stucky Ridge, Smelter Hill and the Mount Haggin Wildlife Management Area. An Anaconda Uplands Restoration Plan prepared by NRDP specified that up to $4 million could be used for restoration on lands owned by Anaconda-Deer Lodge County. In April 2023, NRDP celebrated the completed cleanup of state lands on Stucky Ridge and within portions of the Mount Haggin Wildlife Management Area east and south of Anaconda. Last month, NRDP published an amendment to the Anaconda Uplands Restoration Plan. Among other things, it provides a recommendation about how to divvy up that $4 million between restoration activities such as ecological restoration, wildlife habitat restoration or recreational restoration. NRDP has proposed allocating $1.9 million for recreation projects. The program suggests that development of trail networks, trailheads and signage on A-Hill and C-Hill — trails designed to serve multiple user groups — could be considered an appropriate restoration action. The Anaconda Trail Society would hire professional trail designers and builders if funding becomes available through NRDP, grants or some combination. As proposed, it would partner with Anaconda-Deer Lodge County to collaborate on planning, developing, monitoring and maintaining trail segments. The city-county could also assist with matching costs for potential grant awards and provide other support. Adams said a properly designed and built dirt trail, with water bars and other features to reduce erosion, should need little maintenance. County commissioners for Anaconda-Deer Lodge County were scheduled to review a related memorandum of understanding during the board’s Tuesday night meeting. As envisioned, the connection between Birch Street and Sunnyside Road would be “a leisurely, groomed trail” with a grade below 12%, Adams said. The community could access the trail at Birch Street, Sheep Gulch, 7 Street, Walnut Street, Willow Street and Sunnyside Road. During a Nov. 26 meeting of commissioners for Anaconda-Deer Lodge County, Adams said the trail would yield community, social and health benefits. She noted too that studies have demonstrated that trails provide economic benefits to communities. Meeting minutes from Nov. 26 show that Commissioner Ed Beaudette expressed concerns about including horses on the trail and whether it would be wheelchair accessible. Adams said the trail would not be wheelchair accessible and it’s not yet clear whether horses would be appropriate. NRDP’s proposed amendment to the Anaconda Uplands Restoration Plan cites reforestation efforts dating back to 1940. It references work by Bob Andreozzi, now retired as a forester for the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, and others for shepherding years of conifer and shrubs planting around Anaconda, as well as ambitious Arbor Day plantings. NRDP notes also that in some areas, lands owned by Anaconda-Deer Lodge County are returning to baseline conditions — as in, conditions prior to pollution — “without the expenditure of remedy or restoration funds.” Ray Vinkey, an environmental scientist for NRDP, said no Anaconda Uplands money has been spent to date on recreation.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than February 7, 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. 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.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, the registration statement and prospectus used to effectuate Kyverna's IPO misstated and/or omitted facts concerning the results of Kyverna's ongoing evaluation of KYV-101, Kyverna's lead product candidate, in clinical trials. Specifically, Kyverna touted patient "improvement" in certain indicators while failing to disclose adverse data regarding one of Kyverna's trials, which adverse data was known to Kyverna at the time of the IPO. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
