In a Nov. 22 decision, the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal ruled that a complaint of discrimination lodged against the Central Okanagan Board of Education will proceed to a hearing. A former student of George Elliot Secondary School in Lake Country, Faith Bigam, , alleging that she had been subject to discrimination by the School District No. 23 Board of Education, her school principal and a teacher. Bigam, who was in Grade 11 at the time of the incident, alleges that she was discriminated against "based on mental and physical disability." Bigam was diagnosed with , at 12 years old. According to the complaint, after years of building confidence, she voiced her desire to speak to the student body at George Elliot about her rare, degenerative condition in order to educate her peers. The complaint alleges that in 2019, a teacher, the school principal and the school district prevented Bigam from speaking at an assembly and then mishandled the aftermath of the situation. Bigam says that as a direct result of the incident, she was not able to return to George Elliot Secondary School. The presentation was scheduled for an upcoming school assembly and Bigam prepared a speech. There is contrasting evidence from Bigam, her mother and the teacher who was named in the complaint, about the incident that took place on the morning of the scheduled speech. According to tribunal documents, on the morning of the assembly, an interaction took place between Bigam, her mother and the teacher in charge of the assembly, that became heated. After a disagreement, it was decided that Bigam would not be present at the assembly. Bigam alleges that "everyone was raising their voices," and she felt embarrassed, panicked and began to cry. In a response to the complaint, the teacher alleges that she was not trying to prevent Bigam from speaking and says she did not raise her voice. She alleges that she was instead trying to work with Bigam to ensure the presentation fit with the theme of the assembly before the emotions escalated. After the incident, Bigam's parents spoke with and sent an email to the principal and the SD23, complaining about the interaction with the teacher regarding their daughter's now cancelled presentation at the assembly. The principal assured the family the matter was being taken "very seriously." Bigam stopped attending school after the incident. The school's vice-principal spoke with the BC Human Rights Tribunal and stated Bigam's mother was "adamant" that the teacher be fired and did not seem interested in an apology or “anything else”. Bigam never returned to George Elliot School, claiming she experienced stress, anxiety and emotional distress as a result of the altercation and graduated from an alternative learning program. Additionally, Bigam suffered a relapse of Multiple Sclerosis in June 2019, which her family alleges was spurred by the stress of the incident. Bigam says she missed out on important social and educational opportunities by not returning to the school. The BC Human Rights Tribunal has dismissed the complaint against both the teacher and principal but allowed the remainder of the complaint against the SD23. A date has yet to be set on the matter.Police carry out anti-LGBTQ raids on some of Moscow's bars and clubsBETHESDA, Md. , Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DiamondRock Hospitality Company (the "Company") (NYSE: DRH ) announced today it is the recipient of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' ("Nareit") 2024 Leader in the Light Award for the lodging and resorts sector.

New York Child Support Lawyer Juan Luciano Releases Insightful Article on Child Support in New YorkNetflix Inc. stock underperforms Monday when compared to competitors

AP Business SummaryBrief at 6:44 p.m. ESTDURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Duke coach Manny Diaz says quarterback Maalik Murphy will face discipline “internally” after extending both of his middle fingers skyward in celebration after throwing a long touchdown pass early in the . Diaz said Monday that Murphy's exuberant gesture, caught on the ACC Network national broadcast, was directed at offensive coordinator Jonathan Brewer in the booth after a bit of practice “banter” from a few days earlier. Diaz said the Texas transfer just let his excitement get away from him but still called it “unacceptable in our program." “There was a practice in the middle of last week when we throwing post after post after post, and we weren't completing them,” Diaz said. “And it was again and again and again and again. And at the end of that, there was a remark made in jest that, ‘If you throw a post for a touchdown in the game, then you can flick me off,’ from Coach Brewer.” Murphy's gesture came after he uncorked a deep ball from deep in Duke's own end and caught Eli Pancol perfectly in stride across midfield, with Pancol racing untouched for an 86-yard score barely 2 minutes into the game. As he began skipping downfield to celebrate, Murphy chest-bumped teammate Star Thomas and then extended both arms in the air with his middle fingers raised. Brewer said Monday he missed the gesture in real time, but then saw it on a replay moments later. “Some things you say on the field when you're coaching obviously isn't meant to be taken literally when you're trying to get after somebody in that world,” Brewer said. Murphy threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns with three interceptions in the 31-28 win for the Blue Devils (8-3, 4-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who close the regular season at Wake Forest.

USC QB Miller Moss enters transfer portal after losing starting job to Jayden MaiavaThe S&P 500 ( ^GSPC 0.56% ) soared 26.3% (including dividends) in 2023, and it's up 27.8% in 2024 so far. That means it's on track for consecutive annual gains of at least 20% for the first time since 1999. In fact, going back to when the S&P 500 was established in 1957, that has only happened on six occasions. History suggests it could lead to another strong year in 2025, but the data is skewed by a period of time many investors would probably rather forget. Back-to-back gains of 20% (or more) are extremely rare The S&P 500 has delivered a compound annual return of 10.5% since 1957, so its performances during 2023 and 2024 are already significantly above average. Let's dive into some historical data below, and examine what happened every other time the index gained at least 20% in consecutive years. The S&P 500 generated a 37.2% return in 1975, and then a 23.8% gain in 1976. That strong back-to-back performance was followed by a 7.2% loss in 1977. The index generated a 21.5% return in 1981, and then a 22.5% gain in 1982. That occasion was followed by a modest 6.2% return in 1983. The S&P was up 37.5% in 1995, followed by a 22.9% gain in 1996, a 33.3% gain in 1997, a 28.5% gain in 1998, and a 21% gain in 1999. The streak ended with a 9.1% loss in the year 2000. In hindsight, that incredible five-year streak between 1995 and 1999 became known as the dot-com technology bubble, when internet companies surged in value without having the revenue, earnings, or fundamentals to support their gains. The dot-com bubble became the dot-com bust with a brutal three-year run of losses for the S&P 500 between 2000 and 2002. It took seven years for the index to reclaim its all-time high from that period. If we calculate the average S&P result from 1977, 1983, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000, we get an average return of 12.1%. That might be the gain we can expect in 2025, based purely on the above historical data alone. As I mentioned earlier, the data is heavily skewed by the dot-com era, which was an unprecedented time in stock market history. But we are in the midst of another technology boom right now, this time driven by artificial intelligence (AI). This isn't 1999, but the S&P 500 is unquestionably expensive AI has played a key role in the incredible S&P 500 gains during 2023 and 2024. Nvidia ( NVDA 2.15% ) , for example, has added a staggering $3.1 trillion to its market capitalization over the last two years, primarily based on sales of its graphics processing units ( GPU s) for the data center that are used to develop AI . Nvidia is on track to generate $129 billion in revenue during its current fiscal year, which will be a near-fivefold increase from two years ago. In other words, the AI boom is underpinned by tangible financial results, which wasn't the case with the internet bubble. In fact, Morgan Stanley predicts four tech companies -- Microsoft , Amazon , Alphabet , and Meta Platforms -- will invest a combined $300 billion in AI infrastructure during 2025 alone. Those four companies, plus Nvidia, represent 22.6% of the total value of the entire S&P 500, so it will be great for the broader market if that spending eventually pays off. With that said, the S&P is expensive right now. It trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 24.7, which is a 36% premium to its long-term average of 18.1 going back to the 1950s. However, we are still comfortably below the dot-com-era peak of around 46, which suggests valuations are elevated but not necessarily irrational just yet. Opposing economic forces could spark volatility in 2025 Given the valuation of the S&P 500, next year will have to be almost perfect in order for investors to see another strong return. That means corporate America will have to meet expectations when it comes to earnings growth, and macroeconomic conditions need to remain supportive. On the one hand, the U.S. economy will be supported by falling interest rates. The Federal Reserve has already cut rates twice since September, and there should be more on the way . On the other hand, the incoming Trump administration plans to levy sizable tariffs on important trading partners like Mexico and Canada, which could disrupt global trade and potentially even spark inflation. The last time President Trump was in office, he imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from practically every country in the world. Many countries (like China) decided to retaliate with tariffs of their own, sparking fears of a painful trade war that could have derailed the global economy. That was a key reason the S&P 500 almost slipped into bear market territory during 2018. So if tariffs are on the agenda as soon as President-elect Trump moves back into the White House in January, the stock market could be in for a rough ride in 2025.
