World Juniors opens with hope for supporters of all teams

Stephen F. Austin State University on Dec. 3 announced a partnership between its Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture and Elimini, a company focused on advancing carbon dioxide removal and renewable energy through bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, or BECCS, technology. The new collaboration marks a step forward in addressing climate challenges while also fostering the development of future leaders in forestry and environmental science, university officials said. As part of its five-year, $50,000 commitment, Elimini will provide endowed scholarships to SFA forestry or environmental science students with an interest in BECCS and sustainable biomass management helping cultivate the next generation of professionals in natural resource management. Additionally, the company will support research efforts aimed at advancing carbon capture and storage technologies, particularly in relation to BECCS, an innovative solution recognized for its potential to reduce carbon emissions and contribute to grid stability by also generating 24/7 renewable power. “We value our partnership with Elimini to develop innovative solutions for carbon dioxide removals and renewable energy that are critical to addressing the future of our climate,” said Dr. Hans Williams, dean of the Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture. “Our college has been working for more than 20 years with private industry to implement carbon sequestration through reforestation and forest management. Technology like BECCS is a critical piece of the decarbonization puzzle.” Headquartered in Houston, Elimini aims to transform carbon removals and bring critical carbon management solutions for energy generation. Originally an offshoot of Drax Group, the company is now focused on scaling BECCS technology on a global level. Elimini’s goal is to remove millions of tons of carbon dioxide annually while generating 24/7 renewable power. The partnership between SFA and Elimini not only strengthens the university’s position as a leader in forestry and environmental science but also provides valuable opportunities for students to engage in cutting-edge research that directly addresses global climate challenges. By supporting both education and innovation, Elimini is helping to create a new generation of experts ready to tackle the complexities of carbon management. “SFA’s forestry program is known for its excellence and commitment to sustainability,” said Laurie Fitzmaurice, Elimini president. “We’re thrilled to partner with them and support their students, who will become the leaders and innovators driving the future of carbon removal technologies. Together, we can make carbon removal not just a possibility but a reality.” The endowed scholarships and research support provided by Elimini are expected to have a long-lasting impact on the academic and research capabilities of SFA’s Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture. As climate change continues to present complex challenges, partnerships like this will assist in developing sustainable solutions.

Wong backs court's independence over Israeli PM warrantIsraeli police set to probe Netanyahu’s wife over ‘harassment of witnesses’Israel’s attorney general has ordered police to open an investigation into Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife on suspicion of harassing political opponents and witnesses in the Prime Minister’s corruption trial. The Israeli Justice Ministry made the announcement in a message late on Thursday, saying the investigation would focus on the findings of a recent report by the Uvda investigative programme into Sara Netanyahu. The programme uncovered a trove of WhatsApp messages in which Mrs Netanyahu appears to instruct a former aide to organise protests against political opponents and to intimidate Hadas Klein, a key witness in the trial. The announcement did not mention Mrs Netanyahu by name and the Justice Ministry declined further comment. Earlier on Thursday, Mr Netanyahu blasted the Uvda report as “lies”. It is the latest in a long line of legal troubles for the Netanyahus, highlighted by the PM’s ongoing corruption trial. Mr Netanyahu is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in a series of cases alleging he exchanged favours with powerful media moguls and wealthy associates. He denies the charges and says he is the victim of a “witch hunt” by overzealous prosecutors, police and the media.

We have been at the edge of a precipice since December 1990 and more so since April 1991. The foreign exchange crisis constitutes a serious threat to the sustainability of growth processes and orderly implementation of our development programmes. Due to the combination of unfavourable internal and external factors, the inflationary pressures on the price level have increased very substantially since mid-1990. The people of India have to face double digit inflation which hurts most the poorer sections of our society. In sum, the crisis in the economy is both acute and deep. We have not experienced anything similar in the history of independent India...

This process would, inevitably, need at least three years, if not longer, to complete. But there can be no adjustment without pain. The people must be prepared to make necessary sacrifices to preserve our economic independence and restore the health of our economy. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers formally asked a judge Monday to throw out his hush money criminal conviction, arguing continuing the case would present unconstitutional “disruptions to the institution of the Presidency.“ In a filing made public Tuesday, Trump’s lawyers told Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan that dismissal is warranted because of the extraordinary circumstances of his impending return to the White House. “Wrongly continuing proceedings in this failed lawfare case disrupts President Trump’s transition efforts,” the attorneys continued, before citing the “overwhelming national mandate granted to him by the American people on November 5, 2024.” Related Articles National Politics | Democrats stick with Schumer as leader, their strategy for countering Trump is far less certain National Politics | Trump vows to block Japanese steelmaker from buying US Steel, pledges tax incentives and tariffs National Politics | Democrats’ outgoing chair says Trump’s win forces party to reassess how it reaches voters National Politics | Jill Biden’s final foreign trip as first lady will close with her and Trump at Notre Dame cathedral National Politics | Hunter Biden gun case dismissed after President Joe Biden’s sweeping pardon Prosecutors will have until Dec. 9 to respond. They have said they will fight any efforts to dismiss the case but have indicated openness to delaying sentencing until after Trump’s second term ends in 2029. Following Trump’s election victory last month, Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed his sentencing, previously scheduled for late November, to allow the defense and prosecution to weigh in on the future of the case. He also delayed a decision on Trump’s prior bid to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. Trump has been fighting for months to reverse the conviction, which involved efforts to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels, whose affair allegations threatened to disrupt his 2016 campaign. He has denied any wrongdoing. Trump takes office Jan. 20. Merchan hasn’t set a timetable for a decision. A dismissal would erase Trump’s historic conviction, sparing him the cloud of a criminal record and possible prison sentence. Trump is the first former president to be convicted of a crime and the first convicted criminal to be elected to the office. Merchan could also decide to uphold the verdict and proceed to sentencing, delay the case until Trump leaves office, wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump’s parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court or choose some other option.

As a result, Republicans now hold super-majorities in both the South Carolina House of Representative and the state Senate for the first time in more than 150 years. It was a continuation of the mandate for conservative policies that we saw delivered when voters elected Ellen Weaver as superintendent of education in 2022. Yet some liberal lawmakers in Columbia refuse to accept this mandate. Instead of respecting the will of the people, they’re teaming up with media outlets to spin sensational stories and create distractions to prevent our progress. The recent partnership between Superintendent Weaver and PragerU is a perfect example. PragerU is a traditional conservative organization that provides free civics resources to teachers. Rather than perpetuating one-sided liberal historical narratives found in projects like the 1619 Project, PragerU offers a perspective that acknowledges both the triumphs and challenges of our nation throughout its history. In other words, it’s balanced — and liberals can’t abide that. One particular critic, Democratic Rep. Jermaine Johnson, has made it abundantly clear that he aspires to climb the political ladder, possibly even eyeing the position of superintendent of education. His frivolous attacks on Superintendent Weaver and PragerU reflect a desperate attempt to gain attention for himself rather than engage in any kind of constructive conversation about policy. Superintendent Weaver is leading vital initiatives for our state, particularly in improving teacher retention, a goal that deserves recognition and support. The innovative approaches she champions stand in stark contrast to the progressive narratives that have infiltrated our education system over the years through liberal activist groups. Radicals have spent decades and tens of millions of dollars working to gain influence on how children are educated in order to drive their future political agenda. And Republicans promoting conservative reforms is a threat to their position. They’re still upset that they lost the superintendent of education race in 2022, and they’ll do anything to undermine Superintendent Weaver until they can challenge for the office again in 2026. Their attitude is, sure Republicans won, but how dare they try to implement the ideas that they campaigned on. In other words, they’re like angry 2-year-olds stamping their feet when they don’t get their way. And that’s how they should be treated. Rep. Johnson and his allies are the people who supported policies that sought to keep schools closed and impose mask mandates on our children during COVID-19 — policies that South Carolinians rejected. And the liberal resentment is palpable. The ACLU’s ongoing opposition stems from Superintendent Weaver’s commitment to removing sexually explicit materials that have no place in our educational curriculum. Its resistance also extends to one of the hallmark achievements of our state: private school choice, which empowers parents and fosters brighter futures for our students. But equally troubling is the complicity of some in the mainstream media in amplifying these attacks. Instead of highlighting Superintendent Weaver’s achievements or the efforts of Gov. Henry McMaster and numerous Republican members of the General Assembly to raise teacher pay, improve literacy rates, enhance math performance, reduce distractions like cellphones in classrooms and prioritize school safety, many in the media choose to align themselves with the progressive minority. In the meantime, Republicans will remain focused on promoting positive changes in our educational system and standing firm against those who seek to undermine it for partisan gain. Together, we can ensure that our schools reflect the traditional values and aspirations of the people of South Carolina. Drew McKissick is the chairman of the S.C. Republican Party.
