"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin claimed that President-elect Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign didn't discuss high egg prices during the latest episode of the daytime ABC talk show. While expressing frustration over voters prioritizing kitchen table issues over Trump’s alleged threat to democracy, Hostin declared that Trump didn’t even talk about core economic issues – such as the price of eggs – during his campaign. "Most people are saying, ‘Well this was a kitchen table issue, this was about the cost of eggs.' Donald Trump never talked about the price of eggs," Hostin said on Tuesday.' Despite Hostin’s allegation, Trump spoke about the high cost of eggs multiple times during his campaign. He shared an infographic to Truth Social in September showing how various grocery staples were more expensive under the Biden administration than they were under Trump.' In addition to showing that milk prices were up, as well as the price of ham and chicken, Trump’s graphic pointed out that the price of a case of eggs was up $2 from during his administration. During a campaign stop at a Pennsylvania grocery store that same month, then-vice presidential candidate JD Vance lamented about the price of eggs to reporters, stating, "Eggs, when Kamala Harris took office, were short of $1.50 a dozen. Now, a dozen eggs will cost you around $4 thanks to her inflationary policies." Both Trump and personal finance expert and radio host Dave Ramsey discussed "$8 eggs, $5 gas, 7% interest rates and a house they can’t afford, with wages not going up as fast as house prices," during an October interview. High grocery prices and inflation in general were a key topic throughout the campaign. Hostin’s complaint came while discussing Special Counsel Jack Smith dismissing the federal charges against Trump in his Washington, D.C., case over the president-elect’s alleged 2020 election interference. The co-host argued that throwing out the case dashed the hopes of voter groups like Black female voters who viewed democracy as a top issue. She added, "But when the exit polls were taken, the 92% of Black women that voted for the vice president said that the number one issue for them was January 6 and the fall of democracy. So, there were some voters that felt that was very, very important to them." All six of the co-hosts of "The View" voted for Kamala Harris.

Social media users X even wondered if a few of them had snuck products into the backpacks, much like Dean and his contraband tea bags. "Why isn't Tulisa and Jane's make-up coming off?" asked one X user, while a second wondered: "Sorry, but how have Tulisa & Jane still got make-up on?" The Mirror reported that the stars are actually getting around ITV's make-up ban with semi-permanent, or 'tattoo' make-up, but we've now discovered there's also a way for them to bring pre-approved cosmetics into the jungle on the quiet. In an interview with the Sun shortly after her own stint on I'm a Celeb in 2017, Georgina 'Toff' Toffolo explained she was given a medical exemption that allowed her to bring some base make-up into the jungle for the purpose of covering her acne. "I honestly wouldn’t have been able to look any of my campmates in the eye if I didn’t have my make-up on," she explained. "When producers told me it was banned I broke down in tears and said, 'I can’t do this'. I’ve been to the doctor so much over the years. It’s a medical problem and I’ve been on strong tablets for six months trying to get rid of them." Georgia continued: "Show bosses agreed that, because it was a medical problem, I was allowed to put foundation on once a day in the morning. Some people don’t understand how badly it affects my confidence and upsets me." We do have to wonder if any celebs on this 2024 camp pre-agreed a make-up exemption on medical grounds, like Toff. We imagine the full details will come out after the show finishes. Inspired by the I'm a Celeb stars' long-lasting 'tattoo' make-up looks? We have just the buys for you.

Manmohan Singh: Architect of India's Economic Transformation
Mr Biden told African leaders the resource-rich continent of more than 1.4 billion people had been “left behind for much too long”. “But not anymore,” Mr Biden added. “Africa is the future.” Mr Biden used the third and final day of a visit to Angola – his long-awaited, first trip to sub-Saharan Africa as president – to travel to the coastal city of Lobito and tour an Atlantic port terminal that’s part of the Lobito Corridor railway redevelopment. Mr Biden described it as the largest US investment in a train project outside America. The US and allies are investing heavily in the project that will refurbish nearly 1,200 miles of train lines connecting to the mineral-rich areas of Congo and Zambia in central Africa. The corridor, which likely will take years to complete, gives the US better access to cobalt, copper and other critical minerals in Congo and Zambia that are used in batteries for electric vehicles, electronic devices and clean energy technologies that Mr Biden said would power the future. China is dominant in mining in Congo and Zambia. The US investment has strategic implications for US-China economic competition, which went up a notch this week as they traded blows over access to key materials and technologies. The African leaders who met with Mr Biden on Wednesday said the railway corridor offered their countries a much faster route for minerals and goods – and a convenient outlet to Western markets. “This is a project that is full of hope for our countries and our region,” said Congo President Felix Tshisekedi, whose country has more than 70% of the word’s cobalt. “This is not just a logistical project. It is a driving force for economic and social transformation for millions of our people.” The leaders said the corridor should spur private-sector investment and improve a myriad of related areas like roads, communication networks, agriculture and clean energy technologies. For the African countries, it could create a wave of new jobs for a burgeoning young population. Cargo that once took 45 days to get to the US – usually involving trucks via South Africa – would now take around 45 hours, Mr Biden said. He predicted the project could transform the region from a food importer to exporter. It’s “something that if done right will outlast all of us and keep delivering for our people for generations to come,” he said. The announcement of an additional $600 million took the U.S.’s investment in the Lobito Corridor to 4.0 billion dollars (£3.15 billion).—Arjunan Anjappan, survivor, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami “Tsunami: Sea Change for Resilience” UNESCO exhibition tsunami, often misunderstood as merely an oversized ocean wave, is one of nature’s most destructive forces. Scripps Institution of Oceanography seismologist Barry Hirshorn is working to provide tsunami warnings to coastal populations as accurately and quickly as possible. “A tsunami is essentially a gravity wave,” Hirshorn explains. This term, used in scientific communities, emphasizes the role of gravity in the oscillations of water columns. Large displacements are often caused by tectonic activity: The most common source of tsunamis lies in subduction zones, where one tectonic plate slides beneath another. Over time, stress builds along these fault lines, and when released, the sea floor rises or falls, displacing colossal volumes of water. Hirshorn cites the Dec. 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami as an example: “The sea floor uplifted over a length longer than the state of California, creating a massive column of water ... when the water column collapses, this energy radiates outward, creating the tsunami,” he adds. This phenomenon in fact produces not just one wave but a series of waves, which can travel vast distances with immense energy. It’s more like a steamroller made of water, a fast-moving surge shearing across the land. Although the energy from a tsunami disperses in all directions, its impact is not uniform. “You get a much stronger tsunami at 90 degrees to the fault,” Hirshorn explains, which is what happened during the 2004 tsunami. This direction of the undersea rupture, which occurred off the coast of Indonesia, determined the intensity and direction of the tsunami, causing disproportionate devastation in certain countries such as Sri Lanka—but damage and deaths as far afield as Tanzania and Thailand. While the Pacific’s Ring of Fire is a hotbed for tsunamis due to its numerous subduction zones, no ocean is immune. The 1755 Lisbon earthquake generated a tsunami that devastated Europe’s Atlantic coast, a reminder that they can originate anywhere massive undersea activity could trigger one. And these events don’t need to be the movement of entire continental plates. Hirshorn also recounts the record-breaking in 2022 near Tonga, which created a tsunami and generated waves that circumnavigated the globe. In the open ocean, a tsunami may seem benign, with a height of less than three feet. However, as it nears the shore, the wave slows and grows exponentially. “The kinetic energy converts into potential energy, creating the towering wall of water that we associate with tsunamis,” Hirshorn says. One common misconception about tsunamis is that they resemble a single giant, breaking wave. Hirshorn clarifies, “It’s more like a steamroller made of water, a fast-moving surge shearing across the land.” This force allows tsunamis to inundate areas miles inland, causing widespread destruction beyond the coast. Another strange hallmark of tsunamis is harbors sometimes draining before the wave strikes. “This depends on the position of the harbor relative to the fault,” Hirshorn explains. In some cases, the ocean recedes dramatically, offering a natural warning sign of an impending wave. The 1964 Alaska earthquake caused harbors to empty before a massive wave struck, which Hirshorn recalls as a defining moment in tsunami awareness. But the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami stands out for its sheer scale—and the subsequent revolution in tsunami science. Before 2004, the creation of warning systems often came in response after a given tsunami disaster. After the 2004 tsunami, however, the paradigm shifted to proactive monitoring by building tsunami warnings in more ocean basins. “We can now characterize an earthquake’s magnitude and tsunami potential within minutes,” Hirshorn says. This advance is critical for regions across the globe, including Cascadia in the United States, where a massive tsunami, scientists say, is a matter of when, not if. Advances in technology and international cooperation have significantly reduced tsunami-related fatalities over the past 20 years. For example, improved communication infrastructure ensures timely warnings even in remote areas. And contemporary tsunami warning systems now leverage differences in wave speeds to provide critical early warnings. Earthquake waves travel faster than tsunamis, allowing scientists to assess the event’s magnitude and potential impact in real time. “The closer populations are warned through seismic data, while distant populations benefit from models predicting tsunami travel times,” Hirshorn says. “We now have the tools to prevent another disaster like 2004.” However, predicting the exact size and impact of a tsunami remains complex. As is . “Public response is critical,” Hirshorn says, highlighting the need for ongoing education and drills. Tsunamis can strike within minutes, leaving no time for hesitation. He emphasizes the importance of public education, noting, “Even in the absence of official warnings, ground shaking is a signal to head inland. It’s better to overreact than underestimate the risk.” Hirshorn’s insights reveal the dual nature of tsunamis as both awe-inspiring and devastating. Understanding their mechanics, improving prediction, and fostering public preparedness are crucial to mitigating their impact. Watch ; all episodes are streaming now on Disney+ and Hulu.

Possible pathways to achieve such goals are winding and tenuous, sure, and an array of novel innovations are needed to make urban net zero goals viable. Admittedly, progress toward urban decarbonization has been periodically disrupted and influenced by the ever-shifting landscape of climate change, geopolitical dynamics, and supply chain challenges. Yet life-changing solutions are emerging from the climate tech sector, and these solutions can transform cities across the globe. With targeted research and development, climate tech is offering urban planners, architectural engineers, developers, and contractors a method to focus on a viable low-emissions urban environment. Indeed, clean energy innovation is no longer rare; urban leaders are now ready to deliver practical, climate tech-based solutions in their quest to create thriving, adaptable, and vertically integrated cities. By channeling the power of climate tech, promoting transformative policies, and welcoming community input and policy, urban leaders can help us all to resist what is sometimes described an inevitable trajectory past the Paris Agreement goals of a 1.5°C temperature increase. Instead, we can reimagine our cities as a green oasis . Cities are facing specific and often devasting consequences from the climate crisis – urban areas contribute 70% of global CO2 emissions and consume a staggering 75% of the world’s energy. This impact is set to grow due to rapid expansion: by 2050, more than two-thirds of the global population – around 6.5 billion people – will call cities their home. This will place immense strain on resources, demanding even more energy and intensifying urban environmental footprints. What actions can cities take with their burden of CO2 emissions and the enormous amounts of energy they consume? Urban dilemmas surrounding decarbonization aren’t hopeless. Investments are needed to redirect urban landscapes toward net zero trajectories. Here’s an overview of recent publications from the Center for Urban Transformation at the World Economic Forum that offer some answers about cities, energy consumption, and climate tech. Climate tech investments to date: Between 2020 and 2021, climate tech investments soared to $56 billion. Supportive policies and innovative financing models are vital for climate tech to thrive. Governments and private sector organizations must also collaborate to create incentives for green investments and ensure that regulatory frameworks facilitate, rather than hinder, sustainable development. In the US, the Inflation Reduction Act has sought to encourage wide-scale investment in the low carbon energy economy, enabling investments in clean technology to grow by 225% up to $303 billion since its enactment. As a result, big strides are being made. According to BNEF, global clean energy financing jumped by 17% to $1.8 trillion in 2023. Meanwhile, investment in the clean energy supply chain reached $135 billion and the electrified transport sector saw an increase in funding of more than 8% year-on-year. Cities of the future and decarbonization: About 60% of the buildings that will exist in 2050 have not been built yet, so cities have a unique opportunity and responsibility to approach development in a smarter, more sustainable and more resilient way. This means building systems that can withstand future challenges. Experts estimate that global spending on the transition, including areas such as retrofitting buildings, could reach $275 trillion between 2021 and 2050. Bridging this funding gap will require game-changing climate technology solutions to accelerate the decarbonization of our urban environments. Innovative sources for urban decarbonization: The pursuit of innovative clean energy technologies is essential for addressing the climate crisis and achieving sustainability goals. By investing in research, development and deployment of low-carbon solutions, countries can drive economic growth, enhance energy security and mitigate the impacts of climate change. To decarbonize, cities must also embrace innovative building materials, solar panels, green roofs, and nature-based climate technologies. A huge companion challenge lies in recycling large amounts of materials efficiently. New regs spur climate tech innovation: New regulations are being implemented around the world to address the environmental impact of construction materials. This is compelling developers to reduce their carbon emissions to meet building standards . With enough support and investment from the public and private sectors, climate tech could help make the world’s cities more sustainable alongside city requirements. The connection between buildings and embodied carbon: Understanding and addressing embodied carbon – the total GHG emissions generated to produce a building’s materials – is crucial. Embodied carbon can account for 80-90% of a real estate developer’s annual emissions but is often overshadowed by emissions from heating, cooling, and lighting. What clean tech can do for cities: Aside from enabling the expansion and scalability of promising new resources, innovation can also have an invaluable impact on urban centers by improving the sustainability of existing resources. Current climate tech innovations tackle embodied carbon, make reclaimed materials more usable, and adapt green architecture to develop nature-based building materials. Energy consumption reductions: As outlined in the IEA’s report on Energy Technology Perspectives , innovation is key to the sustainable development scenario. About 35% of CO2 reductions by 2070 depend on technologies in early stages, requiring more R&D, while another 40% depend on yet-to-be-deployed technologies. These advancements reduce energy consumption and create spaces that promote health and wellbeing. LEED-certified buildings are designed to be 25-30% more energy-efficient than conventional buildings. Tackling the climate crisis necessitates a fundamental reshaping of the existing energy framework, a groundbreaking shift that must consider global dependence on existing energy resources and infrastructure. Nature-based construction materials: Nature-based construction technology can significantly decarbonize cities. Integrating biophilic design , which brings elements of nature into urban spaces, further enhances the quality of city living. Reclaimed lumber can significantly reduce timber’s carbon footprint and the demand for new timber. This not only preserves forests but also minimizes waste. A report in the journal Nature suggests that greening just 35% of the EU’s urban areas could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 55.8 million tons annually. Incorporating nature-based building materials makes cities more comfortable to live in, helps clean the air, improves insulation, reduces pollution, and encourages ecosystems critical for habitats to thrive. Navigating the journey towards net zero is not a linear path, the WEF warns . Yet, amidst this complexity, climate tech emerges as a “savior” and a critical facilitator in resource management. In fact, climate tech innovation holds the promise of expediting the processes of decarbonization and energy transition, propelling cities towards a sustainable future. While some countries may be leading the race to develop and scale such cutting-edge solutions, the transition to a low-carbon economy is not solely the responsibility of individual nations. It requires collective action and collaboration on a global scale. Recognizing this reality, key global policymakers and business leaders are seizing every opportunity to contribute to the expansion of low-carbon climate technologies.

Pub fury as 10 popular beers to be 'banned' from pubs just in time for ChristmasNone
It is a well-known fact there is a cartel of a few rice millers with regard to the purchase of paddy and sale of rice in the country. The whole blame for this development should rest solely on the previous dispensations. Those past governments created a situation where ample opportunities were made available to a few wealthy persons with close connections to some powerful politicians of the day, for purchasing paddy from the farmers at very low rates and later sell the milled rice to the consumers at exorbitant prices according to their whims and fancies. Those in authority turned a blind eye to this operation as they benefited from the rice millers. They weakened the state mechanism which had been introduced by the previous government for purchasing paddy and converting such stocks into rice and making available that rice to the people at affordable prices through CWE and the co-operative outlets. The previous governments deliberately sabotaged the operation of this mechanism to pave the way for a few politically and otherwise close rice millers to exploit the rice market in the absence of any competition. The Paddy Marketing Board was neglected by previous governments. Now this rice miller mafia has become a formidable force even the government cannot control. The moment the government steps in to remedy this situation, the rice miller mafia will go all out to thwart the government’s efforts at controlling the price of rice. These rice millers extend loans to the farmers at the commencement of paddy growing seasons and ensure that the latter sell their paddy only to them at the prices they fix. The indebted farmers have no alternative other than selling produce to those millers at very low prices stipulated by them. Now the PMB has neglected all its paddy stores and mills, and the government has no money to be released to the PMB for purchasing paddy. The vacuum created by non-involvement by the government in the purchase of paddy offered a golden opportunity to the rice millers to purchase paddy at the prices they desire. This is the sorry state of affairs now prevailing in the country. What would be the scenario if the government stepped in to solve this problem by using its power? It has neither money nor facilities for storing paddy and operational rice mills for milling the paddy. The rice miller mafia could ensure that there will be no rice in the market, at all. They can afford to do so. Therefore, I feel this is a very delicate issue that has to be handled diplomatically. The government should come to a compromise with the rice millers wherein the millers will be able to dispose of their stocks of rice in the market at a reasonable price in line with the expenses they have incurred in purchasing paddy. The government should be flexible in deciding the price of rice taking into consideration the expenses incurred in acquiring such stocks of paddy by the millers and persuade the millers to release the stocks of rice they now hold to the market at the revised prices. Retaining the current controlled price of rice will aggravate the situation. K. M.

Rosé, the nightingale of the massively popular Korean girl group Blackpink, has flown the nest and launched her first solo album “Rosie.” She’s the first of the awesome foursome to release a full-length solo record, and in English at that. Members Jisoo and Jennie have previously released singles, and Lisa is gearing up for her own studio album in 2025. Across “Rosie,” titled after Rosé’s nickname to communicate a kind of personal intimacy, the singer goes to great lengths to detach herself sonically from her band. Unlike Blackpink’s high energy electro-pop output, Rosé’s solo material is that of a coffee-house dweller with a sideline in romantic drama. But don’t expect finger-plucked acoustic guitar balladry exclusively — “Rosie” is reserved in some moments, full of life in others. The album starts off chipper, with the soaring piano ballad “Number One Girl,” the cool synth-pop track “Two Years,” the dynamic, catchy Bruno Mars collaboration “Apt.,” and the contemporary, Taylor Swift-indebted pop of “Toxic Till the End.” But it invariably slows down, preferring fairly stripped back production throughout. She’s got the voice and she’s flaunting it; it’s her prerogative to showcase her range at the expense of a more energetic beat. Across 12-tracks, the album studies heartache over lost loves (“It’s been two years and you’re still not gone/It doesn’t make sense that I can’t move on,” she sings on “Two Years”), missed chances (“Are we lovers or friends/’Cause it’s as good as it gets” in “Call it the End”) and ambivalence over situationships that probably should’ve been nipped in the bud but staggered along, strung by the power of lust and not much else. (That one is everywhere — particularly in the dubious boyfriends of “Toxic Till the End” and “Gameboy.”) Who can’t relate? The album is an emotional rollercoaster easy to empathize with, stuffed with songs that articulate the trials and tribulations of early adult years — the search for connection and getting dragged into romances that lead nowhere. But throughout, fans of both Blackpink and Rosé might miss the spirited songs of her group. After all — your 20s are for partying, too — not just heartbreak.

Fairfax Car Accident Attorney Jennifer Porter Releases Article on Critical Steps for Hit-and-Run Victims to Take 12-04-2024 10:22 PM CET | Politics, Law & Society Press release from: ABNewswire Fairfax car accident attorney Jennifer Porter ( https://jenniferporterlaw.com/what-to-do-in-a-hit-and-run/ ) of Jennifer Porter Law, PLLC, sheds light on the critical steps victims should take after hit-and-run incidents and emphasizes the role of experienced legal representation in handling these complex situations. Hit-and-run accidents create significant challenges for victims, leaving them to deal with unexpected physical, emotional, and financial consequences. Virginia has seen a troubling frequency of hit-and-run accidents, with 5,517 cases reported among the 223,450 traffic accidents statewide in 2022. These incidents occur when a driver leaves the scene without providing contact information or assisting injured parties. Victims often face difficulties in the immediate aftermath, particularly when attempting to gather evidence or initiate legal proceedings. Jennifer Porter highlights how a Fairfax car accident attorney can help victims secure justice by collecting vital evidence, managing insurance claims, and pursuing legal action against those responsible. Fairfax car accident attorney Jennifer Porter stated, "Hit-and-run accidents are not only distressing but also legally complicated. It is our responsibility to help ensure victims have the clarity and support needed to reclaim their lives and rights." Victims are encouraged to take immediate actions to protect their safety and build a strong foundation for their legal cases. Ensuring the safety of all parties involved is the first priority. Moving to a secure location and contacting emergency services to address injuries and safety hazards are essential. Victims should also document as much information as possible about the accident. Photographs of the scene, vehicle damage, and notes about the other vehicle or its direction of travel can strengthen the police investigation and subsequent legal claims. Witness accounts are particularly valuable, as they provide an independent perspective on what occurred. Filing a police report is a crucial step, especially in Virginia, where the law requires such reports for accidents involving injuries, fatalities, or property damage exceeding $1,500. These reports serve as formal documentation of the incident, creating a foundation for insurance and legal processes. Jennifer Porter underscores that prompt reporting and thorough evidence collection are vital to achieving justice for victims. Legal representation is an important aspect of managing the complex aspects of hit-and-run cases. Victims have the right to pursue civil claims against identified fleeing drivers, seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and emotional distress. When the responsible driver remains unidentified, uninsured motorist coverage offers an alternative path to compensation. Fairfax car accident attorney Jennifer Porter can work closely with clients to handle their cases with care and explore all available options for compensation. Dealing with insurance companies after a hit-and-run often presents additional challenges. Insurance adjusters may attempt to minimize payouts or question the validity of a victim's claim. Jennifer Porter and the team can help clients manage these interactions by handling communications with insurers, presenting compelling evidence, and negotiating settlements that reflect the true extent of the victim's damages. This process alleviates the burden on victims and allows them to focus on their recovery. Jennifer Porter noted, "After a hit-and-run, victims deserve not only financial compensation but also the peace of mind that comes with knowing their case is being handled with diligence and care. Our role is to stand by them and empower their voices to be heard." Time is a critical factor in these cases. Virginia's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline could result in losing the right to file a claim. Victims are encouraged to consult with a Fairfax car accident attorney as soon as possible to take all necessary steps within the required timeframe.
