711bet download apk latest version WASHINGTON (AP) — A person accused of accosting U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace in a Capitol Office building pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to a misdemeanor assault charge. Witnesses told police that James McIntyre, 33, of Chicago, shook Mace's hand in an “exaggerated, aggressive” manner after approaching the South Carolina Republican in the Rayburn House Office Building on Tuesday evening, according to a police affidavit. Mace, who is identified only by her initials in a court filing, posted a string of social media messages about the incident. She said she was “physically accosted” at the Capitol, and she thanked President-elect Donald Trump for calling her Wednesday morning to check on her condition. “I’m going to be fine just as soon as the pain and soreness subside,” Mace wrote. Mace declined to be treated by a paramedic after her encounter with McIntyre, who was arrested Tuesday by the Capitol Police, the affidavit says. Mace told police that McIntyre said, “Trans youth serve advocacy,” while shaking her hand. Last month, Mace proposed a resolution that would prohibit any lawmakers and House employees from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.” Mace said the bill is aimed specifically at Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride — the first transgender person to be elected to Congress. A magistrate judge ordered McIntyre’s release after an arraignment in Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Efforts to reach an attorney for McIntyre weren't immediately successful.Andrew met the individual through “official channels” with “nothing of a sensitive nature ever discussed”, a statement from his office said. The businessman – known only as H6 – lost an appeal over a decision to bar him from entering the UK on national security grounds. He brought a case to the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) after then-home secretary Suella Braverman said he should be excluded from the UK in March 2023. H6 was described as a “close confidante” of The Duke. Judges were told that in a briefing for the home secretary in July 2023, officials claimed H6 had been in a position to generate relationships between prominent UK figures and senior Chinese officials “that could be leveraged for political interference purposes”. They also said that H6 had downplayed his relationship with the Chinese state, which combined with his relationship with Andrew, 64, represented a threat to national security. A statement from Andrew’s office said: “The Duke of York followed advice from His Majesty’s Government and ceased all contact with the individual after concerns were raised. “The Duke met the individual through official channels with nothing of a sensitive nature ever discussed. “He is unable to comment further on matters relating to national security.” At a hearing in July, the specialist tribunal heard that the businessman was told by an adviser to Andrew that he could act on the duke’s behalf when dealing with potential investors in China, and that H6 had been invited to Andrew’s birthday party in 2020. A letter referencing the birthday party from the adviser, Dominic Hampshire, was discovered on H6’s devices when he was stopped at a port in November 2021. In a ruling on Thursday, Mr Justice Bourne, Judge Stephen Smith and Sir Stewart Eldon, dismissed the challenge.French President Emmanuel Macron vowed Thursday (December 5, 2024) to stay in office until the end of his term, due in 2027, and announced that he will name a new prime minister within days following the resignation of ousted Prime Minister Michel Barnier. Mr. Macron came out fighting a day after a historic no-confidence vote at the National Assembly left France without a functioning government. He laid blame at the door of his opponents on the far right for bringing down Barnier’s government. “They chose disorder,” he said. The president said the far right and the far left had united in what he called “an anti-Republican front” and stressed: “I won’t shoulder other people’s irresponsibility.” He said he’d name a new prime minister within days but gave no hints who that might be. While critical of his political opponents, Mr. Macron also acknowledged his own “responsibility” in the chaos now shaking French politics and alarming financial markets. He revisited his decision in June to dissolve parliament. That precipitated the crisis, leading to new legislative elections that produced the now hung parliament, divided between three minority blocs that don’t have enough seats to govern alone. “I do recognise that this decision wasn’t understood. Many people criticised me for it. I know many continue to criticise me for it,” he said. However, he argued, “I believe it was necessary” to let French voters speak. Earlier in the day, Mr. Macron “took note” of Barnier’s resignation, the Elysee presidential palace said. Barnier and other ministers will be “in charge of current affairs until the appointment of a new government,” the statement said. The no-confidence motion passed by 331 votes in the National Assembly, forcing Barnier to step down after just three months in office—the shortest tenure of any prime minister in modern French history. The new prime minister “will be charged with forming a government of general interest representing all the political forces ... that commit not to vote a no-confidence motion,” Mr. Macron said. The priority will be to pass a budget law for 2025, he added. Mr. Macron tore into lawmakers who brought Barnier’s government down, accusing them of pursuing their own political interests. He noted that the vote came with the end of year holidays just around the corner. “Why did lawmakers act this way? They’re not thinking of you, of your lives, your difficulties,” he said. “They’re thinking of just one thing: the presidential election — to prepare it, to provoke it, to precipitate it.” But Mr. Macron said he’d see out the 30 months still left in his second and last term as president. Mr. Macron faces the critical task of naming a replacement capable of leading a minority government in a parliament where no party holds a majority. Yaël Braun-Pivet, president of the National Assembly and a member of Mr. Macron’s party, urged the president to move quickly. “I recommend he decide rapidly on a new prime minister,” Braun-Pivet said Thursday on France Inter radio. “There must not be any political hesitation. We need a leader who can speak to everyone and work to pass a new budget bill.” The process may prove challenging. Mr. Macron’s administration has yet to confirm any names, though French media have reported a shortlist of centrist candidates who might appeal to both sides of the political spectrum. Mr. Macron took more than two months to appoint Barnier after his party’s defeat in June’s legislative elections, raising concerns about potential delays this time. The no-confidence vote has galvanised opposition leaders, with some explicitly calling for Mr. Macron’s resignation. “I believe that stability requires the departure of the President of the Republic,” said Manuel Bompard, leader of the far-left France Unbowed party, on BFM TV Wednesday night. Far-right National Rally leader Marine Le Pen, whose party holds the most seats in the Assembly, stopped short of calling for Mr. Macron’s resignation but warned that “the pressure on the President of the Republic will get stronger and stronger.” Mr. Macron, however, has dismissed such calls and ruled out new legislative elections. The French constitution does not call for a president to resign after his government was ousted by the National Assembly. “I was elected to serve until 2027, and I will fulfil that mandate,” he told reporters earlier this week. The constitution also says that new legislative elections cannot be held until at least July, creating a potential stalemate for policymakers. The political instability has heightened concerns about France’s economy, particularly its debt, which could rise to 7% of GDP next year without significant reforms. Analysts say that Barnier’s government downfall could push up French interest rates, digging the debt even further. Rating agency Moody’s warned late Wednesday that the government’s fall “reduces the likelihood of consolidating public finances” and worsens the political gridlock. Mr. Macron’s speech, scheduled for 8 p.m. local time, is expected to address these economic challenges while setting a course for the future government. A planned protest by teachers against budget cuts in education took on a new tone Thursday, as demonstrators in Paris linked their demands to the political crisis. “Macron quit!” read a sign held by Dylan Quenon, a 28-year-old teacher at a middle school in Aubervilliers, just north of Paris. Mr. Quenon said Mr. Macron bears responsibility for what he described as the dismantling of public services like schools. “The only way for this to change is to have him out of office,” he said. Protesters expressed little hope that Mr. Macron’s next appointee would reverse course. “I’m glad this government is falling, but it could possibly lead to something even worse,” said Élise De La Gorce, a 33-year-old teacher in Stains, north of Paris.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Botafogo overcame playing with 10 men to win its first Copa Libertadores title after beating fellow Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro 3-1 in the final at Monumental de Nunez Stadium on Saturday. After just 30 seconds, midfielder Gregore, one of Botafogo's best players, hit the head of Fausto Vera with his foot and was given a straight red card. Winger Luiz Henrique scored first in the 35th minute from close range, and was fouled for the penalty shot converted by Alex Telles in the 44th. Eduardo Vargas headed Mineiro's only goal in the 46th while Junior Santos, the top scorer in the Copa Libertadores with 10 goals, capped Botafogo's historic night with the third in injury time. Brazil was assured of a sixth consecutive Copa Libertadores title and its 24th in history, just one less than Argentina. It was also the third straight title for Rio de Janeiro clubs, after Fluminense in 2023 and Flamengo in 2022. Despite sensationally losing Gregore, Botafogo reset and Luiz Henrique scored the opener. Henrique surged on the right flank and crossed to Marlon Freitas, who took a shot that was deflected. Henrique was in the right place to strike through the legs of goalkeeper Ederson. Henrique and Ederson met again near the end of the first half when the striker surprised the keeper on the edge of the box. A penalty was given after a video review and left back Telles calmly slotted the ball. Mineiro came back with a more aggressive formation in the second half and was rewarded when veteran Hulk took a corner kick and Vargas, who replaced midfielder Gustavo Scarpa during the break, didn’t even need to jump to score with his head. Mineiro had more chances to equalize through Deyverson in the 53rd, Hulk in the 56th, and Vargas in the 86th and 88th, all from close range. But it was Botafogo’s Júnior Santos, who was sidelined by injury during the Copa, who scored the last goal. Botafogo coach Arthur Jorge joined Portuguese compatriots Jorge Jesus (Flamengo, 2019) and Abel Ferreira (Palmeiras, 2020 and 2021) as European coaches with a Copa Libertadores title. Mineiro's Gabriel Milito missed the chance to be the first Argentine to win the tournament with a Brazilian club. Botafogo also gave American owner John Textor his biggest trophy yet. Textor has been subject to criticism after unproven allegations about match-fixing when Botafogo squandered a 13-point lead last year and missed out on the league title. Next week, his team could win its first Brazilian title since 1995. Botafogo was relegated from the league in 2020 but has risen to prominence again with Textor’s investment. He was part of a wave of foreign owners who came into Brazilian soccer after a 2021 law change paved the way for private investors. Mineiro also has wealthy owner in Brazilian billionaire Rubens Menin, a construction mogul.

Global Mountain And Snow Tourism Market Set For 6.5% Growth, Reaching $6.19 Billion By 2028Penticton Vees captain commits to New York-based university

Merrimack Valley High School senior Keighen Duppong knows attending the University of New Hampshire would likely cost thousands of dollars less per year than most of the schools on his college list. Duppong, who plans to study applied physics, has sent in his application to UNH but doesn’t expect to enroll there. His top choices are public universities hundreds of miles away. “I would love to stay local if we had a tech school that was comparable to something like Georgia Tech and their program or the University of Michigan, which is currently number one in the country for nuclear fission,” Duppong said. “These colleges have the resources, while UNH is lacking in that regard.” Duppong’s good friend, Gage Caswell, is also a high-achieving student who plans to pursue a college degree in a STEM field. He too anticipates he’ll be in another state next year. “I want to say that I’m considering UNH pretty heavily because it is a really good school,” said Caswell, who hopes to major in applied mathematics. “But honestly I think I would go somewhere like Clarkson University because New Hampshire really isn’t a state designed for young people. It’s just not that appealing.” For Caswell, the choice is also financial: Many of the elite private schools he is applying to, including several in the Ivy League, guarantee full financial aid to those in his family’s income bracket. His mother is also an employee at Southern New Hampshire University, which gives Caswell the opportunity for free tuition through an exchange program at several schools on his list, including Boston University and Tulane University. Duppong and Caswell, who met as second graders at Penacook Elementary School, share the views of many New Hampshire high school students contemplating where they will go to college. The state trails only Vermont in the percentage of students who leave their home state for higher education. In 2020, 57% of college freshmen from New Hampshire left the state to enroll elsewhere. That’s more than double the national average of 26% of students who leave their home state to attend college, according to the National Center for Education Statistics data from 2020, the most recent year for which the numbers were available. Article continues after... Cross|Word Flipart Typeshift SpellTower Really Bad Chess The reasons are multi-faceted, but primarily economic. In a survey of 1,000 recent college enrollees conducted by BestColleges in 2023, affordability was considered the most important factor in making a college decision. Professional outcomes, which is a prime factor in Duppong’s decision, came in second. The student life factors that Caswell mentioned were further down the list. New Hampshire ranks last in the country in the amount of per-pupil funding for higher education, according to a study conducted by the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute last year that relied on data from 2021-22. That year, New Hampshire’s in-state tuition was the second highest, trailing only Vermont’s, according to Forbes . Geography also plays a role: New Hampshire is a relatively small state in close proximity to a number of universities across state lines. The state’s public university system – comprised of UNH, Plymouth State, and Keene State – has in recent years attempted to make inroads. The Granite Guarantee program, which began in 2018, covers the full cost of tuition at state universities for students who are Pell Grant-eligible, a threshold that varies by family and is calculated via a complex formula. Kim DeRego, UNH’s vice president of enrollment management, said in an interview that the state’s flagship is considering transitioning to a set income threshold instead of employing Pell Granite eligibility to offer families more clarity earlier in the financial aid process. UNH also touts its Hamel Scholars program, which provides merit-based scholarships and special access to faculty to New Hampshire students. In addition, UNH and Plymouth State are also piloting a direct admission program this year, which allows students who meet certain qualifications to be automatically accepted without having to submit a formal application. DeRego said that prospective students sometimes underestimate what UNH has to offer. “Unfortunately, I think people don’t realize what an excellent school UNH is,” DeRego said, citing UNH’s status as the “top value” public university in New England, according to U.S. News & World Report , among other accolades . Though applications to New Hampshire’s flagship university have increased in recent years, undergraduate enrollment has dropped about 8%, from 12,313 in 2019 to 11,365 this year – a trend reflected in declining college enrollment nationally. At an event last month hosted at Merrimack Valley High School’s library by the non-profit higher education and career support organization Granite Edvance, only one student out of six who spoke with the Monitor said she was planning to attend a university in-state. The student, Hannah Walden of Loudon, grew up attending hockey games at UNH in part because her father is an alumnus. “It just feels like home to me,” said Walden, who hopes to head to Durham next fall to study nursing. The event that Walden was at, called ApplyNH, gives students the opportunity to apply to any school in New Hampshire without having to pay the application fee. About 80 high schools across the state held similar days this fall, according to Christiana Thornton, the president and CEO of Granite Edvance. Thornton said the program, which has been ongoing since at least 2014, is not specifically designed to encourage students to stay in New Hampshire. “Our goal really is to provide support to students to pursue either college or career pathways – really just ensuring that they have educational opportunities,” Thornton said. “And whether that’s in-state or out-of-state, you know, we really think it’s an individual choice.” Shanyn Grenier, the college and career counselor at Merrimack Valley High School, said multiple factors – with cost being a primary one – explain why so many students leave New Hampshire for school. “Unless I qualify for a Pell Grant and can get my tuition free, for some kids if they do their research and they’re a little bit adventurous ... they can find deals in other places,” Grenier said. Somewhat counter-intuitively, the deal-searching process has led Caswell – whose family has a lower income – to private schools, and Duppong – whose family won’t qualify for significant need-based aid – to public schools in other states. Though elite private schools generally have the highest sticker price, in recent years some of them have offered free tuition to families who have incomes as high as $140,000. “That was my ethos going into this process: to limit my tuition as much as I can because I don’t want to be a burden to my parents financially,” Caswell said. Duppong’s family will not qualify for those need-based thresholds, he said, so he is targeting merit-based aid at public universities. He estimates that they will cost about one-third more than UNH but he feels that is a worthwhile investment – in part because of the physical amenities, such as nuclear reactors and quantum computers, that they have, and in part because of the people. “If you attend one of these colleges that has a network, then you have far more opportunities,” Duppong said. “You will have a greater chance of getting a job in a field like physics, so I would say that’s worth the extra cost.” Grenier said that Caswell and Duppong have targeted their college lists to their families’ specific financial situations more than most students, but that it makes sense for some students to do so. “What those two children are trying to do is a great example of how to try and make the system that’s kind of gotten out of control work the best for their individual circumstances,” said Grenier, whose own daughter chose to attend a public university in the South this year in part because the merit aid she received made it about as expensive as UNH. Newly-elected state Rep. Sanjeev Manohar, a Nashua Democrat, believes it is time to address that system to incentivize talented students to stay in the state. Manohar, a chemical engineering professor at the University of Massachusetts–Lowell, said he noticed that many of his students were coming from just across the border in Nashua. “Families are moving here, while our students are moving out,” he said in an interview. “It’s kind of weird.” Manohar has filed a legislative service request that he hopes could help. The bill he has proposed would create a monetary incentive of between $500 and $750 for students to attend college in New Hampshire, as well as a monetary incentive for businesses to hire in-state residents after they graduate. “I see this as not political at all,” Manohar said. “I think both parties can benefit from a program like this.” Manohar has a vision that southern New Hampshire – from Concord to Nashua – can ultimately become a biotech corridor for the region. “The attraction of Massachusetts and Connecticut will be diminished a little bit if we become the tech hub ourselves,” he said.
