qbet casino The rift laid bare the tensions between the newest flank of Trump's movement — wealthy members of the tech world including billionaire Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and their call for more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump's Make America Great Again base who championed his hardline immigration policies. The debate touched off this week when Laura Loomer , a right-wing provocateur with a history of racist and conspiratorial comments, criticized Trump’s selection of Sriram Krishnan as an adviser on artificial intelligence policy in his coming administration. Krishnan favors the ability to bring more skilled immigrants into the U.S. Loomer declared the stance to be “not America First policy” and said the tech executives who have aligned themselves with Trump were doing so to enrich themselves. Much of the debate played out on the social media network X, which Musk owns. Loomer's comments sparked a back-and-forth with venture capitalist and former PayPal executive David Sacks , whom Trump has tapped to be the “White House A.I. & Crypto Czar." Musk and Ramaswamy, whom Trump has tasked with finding ways to cut the federal government , weighed in, defending the tech industry's need to bring in foreign workers. It bloomed into a larger debate with more figures from the hard-right weighing in about the need to hire U.S. workers, whether values in American culture can produce the best engineers, free speech on the internet, the newfound influence tech figures have in Trump's world and what his political movement stands for. Trump has not yet weighed in on the rift, and his presidential transition team did not respond to a message seeking comment. Musk, the world's richest man who has grown remarkably close to the president-elect , was a central figure in the debate, not only for his stature in Trump's movement but his stance on the tech industry's hiring of foreign workers. Technology companies say H-1B visas for skilled workers, used by software engineers and others in the tech industry, are critical for hard-to-fill positions. But critics have said they undercut U.S. citizens who could take those jobs. Some on the right have called for the program to be eliminated, not expanded. Born in South Africa, Musk was once on an a H-1B visa himself and defended the industry's need to bring in foreign workers. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent," he said in a post. “It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.” Trump's own positions over the years have reflected the divide in his movement. His tough immigration policies, including his pledge for a mass deportation, were central to his winning presidential campaign. He has focused on immigrants who come into the U.S. illegally but he has also sought curbs on legal immigration , including family-based visas. As a presidential candidate in 2016, Trump called the H-1B visa program “very bad” and “unfair” for U.S. workers. After he became president, Trump in 2017 issued a “Buy American and Hire American” executive order , which directed Cabinet members to suggest changes to ensure H-1B visas were awarded to the highest-paid or most-skilled applicants to protect American workers. Trump's businesses, however, have hired foreign workers, including waiters and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago club , and his social media company behind his Truth Social app has used the the H-1B program for highly skilled workers. During his 2024 campaign for president, as he made immigration his signature issue, Trump said immigrants in the country illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country" and promised to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. But in a sharp departure from his usual alarmist message around immigration generally, Trump told a podcast this year that he wants to give automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from U.S. colleges. “I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country," he told the “All-In" podcast with people from the venture capital and technology world. Those comments came on the cusp of Trump's budding alliance with tech industry figures, but he did not make the idea a regular part of his campaign message or detail any plans to pursue such changes.

Social media firms raise 'serious concerns' over Australian U-16 ban

From President Cyril Ramaphosa to former president Jacob Zuma, to John Steenhuisen, Julius Malema, Bantu Holomisa and Herman Mashaba, South Africa's top political leaders have wished millions of South Africans a Merry Christmas. Ramaphosa extended his festive season wishes to South Africans for the very first time as the leader of the Government of National Unity (GNU), which was constituted after the ANC failed to secure 50% of the vote for the first time in May. This resulted in the ANC being forced to form a coalition government, for the first time at the national level. This saw the formation of a bloated Cabinet, with almost every portfolio having one or two deputy ministers. The GNU consists of 10 parties, led by the ANC. The parties include the DA, IFP, PA, UDM, FF+, Good Party, PAC, Rise Mzansi, Al Jama-ah and the NFP in KZN. In a video, Ramaphosa conveyed his festive wishes, alongside pictures, including the one featuring the Cabinet ministers and deputy ministers of the GNU. The year 2024, also marked 30 years since the end of apartheid era and the birth of freedom in South Africa. "As we mark the end of a year of momentous change at home and globally, let us come together as family, friends and neighbours to close out 2024 as our milestone of 30 years of freedom and democracy," Ramaphosa said in the video. Ramaphosa stressed the importance of supporting those in need during the festive holidays as the country prepares for the year 2025. "Let us make this festive season one of togetherness, safety and care for people in... Simon MajadiboduPOND INLET , NT , Nov. 21, 2024 /CNW/ - Partnering with Indigenous Peoples, communities and businesses is critical to building inclusive, sustainable and resilient natural resource sectors in Canada . Today, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced a $2.1-million investment under the Indigenous Natural Resource Partnerships (INRP) program to the Qikiqtani Inuit Association (QIA) for an Inuit-led project in Nunavut . Results of the project will include: QIA will purchase heavy equipment simulators dedicated to the Pond Inlet Research and Training Centre. Inuit Nunavummiut will be able to receive vital training in their home territory. Systemic barriers to Inuit participation in the natural resource economy will be reduced. Meaningful partnerships and engagement in the critical minerals sector will be advanced. The Government of Canada remains committed to advancing meaningful partnerships with Indigenous Peoples and enabling the development of innovative natural resource projects that will produce benefits for generations to come. Quote "Today's investment is about fostering Inuit mining expertise to create more jobs and drive economic growth in ways that advance economic reconciliation. It is our priority to enable the full participation of Indigenous partners in the development of a natural resource economy on our way to a clean energy future — a future where all communities can take advantage of technologies that reduce costs and provide job opportunities in vitally important industries." The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Quick Facts Mineral exploration and mining are among the largest private sector industries in Nunavut , accounting for 41.23 percent of the gross domestic product in 2021. In 2022, Nunavut was responsible for eight percent of total iron ore production in Canada . Budget 2022 allocated $80 million over five years, starting in 2022–23, to renew and expand the INRP program to all natural resource sectors and all regions of Canada . The expanded program provides targeted funding to Indigenous communities across Canada to build the capacity and establish the partnerships necessary to secure economic opportunities from natural resource projects and become equal partners in Canada's net-zero transition. The QIA is a Designated Inuit Organization under the Nunavut Agreement (Nunavut Land Claims Agreement). QIA is a regional Inuit organization representing the 13 Inuit communities in the Qikiqtani Region of Nunavut . Key to its mandate is the implementation of Inuit-led and Inuit-driven solutions for the betterment of the Qikiqtani Region. QIA aims to strengthen the benefits of Nunavut's mining industry by establishing educational facilities and training that will see an increased percentage of Nunavut Inuit youth hired in positions relating to critical minerals exploration, operations, research and monitoring.

DTE Energy Co. stock underperforms Wednesday when compared to competitors despite daily gains

NFL warns players after home break-ins: Organized groups are targeting pro athletesWith the holidays kicking off today, let’s make it safely through the entire season. As an adventurous group, we enjoy our winter sports, but the most dangerous activity of the season is driving. And, while magic is in the air, distracted drivers are on the interstate. Winter driving is part of mountain living. You may want to practice driving in an empty parking lot, just as you did as a kid, to refresh your ability to navigate icy conditions. However, despite our expertise, with perception sometimes outweighing ability, we cannot always predict the actions of others, black ice on the roads, nocturnal wildlife, brakes and ice not cooperating, or snow and rocks ski racing down the mountain onto the road as rock slides and avalanches. In addition to specialized driving skills, safety requires cars to be adapted to handle winter’s challenging conditions. Every accident, especially the ones with no survivors, was driven by someone who woke up that morning, totally unaware that they would be dead by nightfall. Don’t let that be your holiday legacy. Preparation will set the stage for a safe and wonderful holiday season. Happy Thanksgiving from the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office.Ravens vs. Chargers score, live updates: Harbaugh brothers meet for the third time as NFL head coaches on Monday Night Football

With technical prowess and considerable style, Marta danced around two sliding defenders, outwitted a goalkeeper and calmly scored as another player rushed forward in desperation to stop her. It was more Marta Magic. That goal last weekend helped propel the Orlando Pride into Saturday's National Women's Soccer League championship game against the Washington Spirit. Barbra Banda also scored in the Pride's 3-2 semifinal victory over the Kansas City Current . While Banda has had an incredible first season with the Pride, captain Marta has been the talisman that has helped lead the team in its remarkable turnaround this year. The last time the Pride were in the NWSL playoffs was in 2017 — Marta's first year with the club. But this season they nearly went undefeated, going 23 games without a loss to start the season before losing 2-0 to the Portland Thorns with just two regular-season games left. “I think because of the way that we did it, during this season, from beginning to now, it’s something very special that I’ve never had before with any other club that I’ve played for," Marta said. "Plus year by year, we see in America, strong competition. This is the best league in the world. And you never know what’s going to happen, and it’s hard to keep winning the games, being in the first place almost like the whole season. That’s why it’s really different and so special.” Marta’s goal was the latest gasp-inducing moment in a stellar career filled with them. Known by just her first name, the 38-year-old is a six-time FIFA world player of the year. "Let's see if tomorrow I can do something similar — or even better," Marta said on Friday. Her teammate Kylie Strom chimed in: “That was the greatest goal I've ever witnessed, hands down." Appropriate. Earlier this year, FIFA announced that the best goal in women's soccer each year would earn the Marta Award. In a lighthearted moment the day before the title match, Marta was asked if she thought it was possible she might give the award to herself. “You guys need to decide, because who votes for the best goal in the year? It’s you. It’s the people in the public. So it should be really interesting, like Marta’s Award goes to Marta!” she said with a laugh. Marta has played in six World Cups for Brazil and played this summer in her sixth Olympics, winning a silver medal after falling in the final to the United States . She previously said this would be her final year with the national team. But since then Brazil was named the host of the 2027 Women's World Cup. "I had a conversation with my coach, the national team coach, and I was really clear about playing in 2027. I told him it’s not my goal anymore,” she said. “But I’m always available to help the national team. And if they think I still can do something during this preparation for the World Cup, yeah, I would be happy to help them." Marta's club career started in Brazil when she was just 16. She has also played in Sweden and in the U.S. professional women's leagues that came before the NWSL. With nine regular-season goals, Marta has had one of her best seasons since she joined the Pride. “I can never pick a side, I never pick favorites — but I love to see this for Marta," U.S. coach Emma Hayes said. “Marta is someone we all like, admire and are grateful for. And that goal was just like prime Marta at her best. And so grateful for and thankful for her that she got the opportunity with another game with her team.” The Pride went 18-2-6 this season, clinching the NWSL Shield for the first trophy in club history. Orlando also set a record with 60 regular-season points to finish atop the standings. “We are sitting top of the table, but I think there still are a lot of doubters. I think there’s people out there who say, maybe this was a one-off season,” Strom said. “But we’re here to prove them all wrong. So I think we do carry a bit of that underdog mentality still with us.” The second-seeded Spirit advanced to the title match at Kansas City's CPKC Stadium last weekend on a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw against defending champions Gotham FC. The Spirit's roster includes Trinity Rodman, a standout forward who formed the so-called “Triple Espresso” trio with Mallory Swanson and Sophia Smith for the United States at the Olympics. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer Anne M. Peterson, The Associated PressLike any NFL game, there are always questions about officiating. However, one sequence that led to a Cleveland Browns touchdown drive to give them a 24-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers came into question. On a third down play, Browns quarterback Jameis Winston was being sacked but threw a ball near the line of scrimmage. Browns center Ethan Pocic caught the ball, but the debate was whether the penalty should be intentional grounding or illegal touching. #PITvsCLE jameis winston's illegal touch pass play that was initially ruled intentional grounding. it apppears he was trying to throw it deep to the two receivers in the middle of the field. luckily for him, he couldn't get it off, because otherwise may have been INT pic.twitter.com/i4hHOhDTWT The wrinkle in the play is that Browns' backup offensive lineman Michael Dunn had checked in before the play and was eligible. He was in the area. “In terms of intentional grounding, the quarterback was contacted, impacting the throw, and the crew confirmed that No. 68 had reported as eligible, and he was in the vicinity,” the NFL told Pro Football Talk. The excerpt in the rulebook says that not only can intentional grounding not be called if a defender hurts the throwing motion as Patrick Queen does here, but also that there has to be an intentional pass with no one in the area. It seems both do not apply. “It is a foul for intentional grounding if a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion. A realistic chance of completion is defined as a pass that is thrown in the direction of and lands in the vicinity of an originally eligible offensive receiver.” As such, despite multiple calls in the game going against the Steelers, it does seem like the NFL referees nailed this one, and it should have only been a loss of five.
