Vikings Justin Jefferson gets greatest complement of all time from Tom Brady | Sporting News
Once again Munster came up short against modest French opposition in the Champions Cup with a distracted, disconnected, ill-disciplined and error-prone performance. Although Castres maintained their unbeaten home record, this was a missed opportunity for Munster. A scrappy contest was dominated by the whistle of pernickety English referee Christophe Ridley, who penalised each side a whopping 17 times, but Munster could not avail of the three yellow cards for a Castres side that played on the edge and were more physical and direct. With that in mind, the Munster think tank must privately question their decision to rest Gavin Coombes for the first time since the season before last season, and one lost count of the handling errors in Munster’s stilted running game. Right from the off it was hard to keep up with the elementary errors which Munster were making in addition to some over-elaborate and laboured handling. A lack of intent in the collisions and at the breakdown was evident. Jack Crowley missed a penalty to touch and Munster conceded soft penalties, leading to a narrow escape when hooker Gaetan Barlot just failed to complete the grounding to his own chip with an advantage play The former Connacht number eight Abraham Papalii was then prevented from grounding over the line by his opposite number and Champions Cup debutant Brian Gleeson. [ Castres 16 Munster 14 as it happened Opens in new window ] But the warnings were not heeded. When Munster attempted to reach the edge well inside their own 10-metre line Tom Farrell’s intended pass to Thaakir Abrahams was forward and a second high tackle by Stephen Archer led to Castres going to the corner again. Jeremy Davidson and co had done their homework, the heavily involved Tyler Ardron popping the ball down at the front of the lineout for Papali’I to target the blindside defence of Craig Casey and Abrahams to crash over. Calvin Nash’s aerial abilities earned some momentum but a 42-metre penalty by Jack Crowley, who didn’t seem to be striking the ball well, fell short. Short-term signing Dian Bleuler then copped Jack Goodhue’s knee on the head due to his own no-arms tackle, which meant Dave Kilcoyne coming on barely 20 minutes in for his first game in almost exactly a year. And he had a tough night. Crowley kicked out on the full, Peter O’Mahony was pinged for side entry and Papali’i tapped and charged before Quentin Walcker crashed through Kilcoyne’s tackle to score. The only plus for Munster at this stage was that Jeremy Fernandez again missed the kickable conversion, albeit Casey had to be carried off with what looked a problematic knee injury. There were also injuries for David Kilcoyne, Peter O’Mahony and Craig Casey. So, when Walcker was binned for a high shot on Gleeson and Crowley kicked toward the corner, Niall Scannell’s throw hit Tadgh Beirne and John Hodnett peeled infield and ploughed through three tackles with a combination of footwork and strength for a fine try. What’s more, Crowley landed a good conversion, although even then Mike Haley kicked out on the full to invite some additional and unnecessary pressure before trotting off grateful to be 10-7 down. Munster looked well-placed when Geoffrey Palis was rightly binned on the resumption for a cynical deliberate knock-on to prevent Crowley’s pass reaching Farrell. But Munster made an absolute mess of the lineout – again being over-elaborate. Instead, a couple of scrum penalties led to Fernandez making it 13-7 before Palis returned without Munster troubling the scoreboard. They also had a fortunate reprieve after Tadhg Beirne had conceded a daft penalty when flying off his feet when Julien Dumora somehow missed a penalty from almost straight in front of the posts. Munster responded by going to their catch-and-drive, which earned a couple more close-range penalties and a yellow card for the Castres replacement prop Nicolas Corato for blatantly pulling down the maul. Even then, the next lineout malfunctioned, but was retried by Beirne, and Munster went through the phases. Diarmuid Barron, Jack O’Donoghue and Beirne again made inroads before Hodnett burrowed over his second try, which was awarded on review despite Santiago Arata seeming to force a knock-on from Paddy Patterson. Crowley converted for the lead, but Munster’s weakened scrum was again pinged for Louis le Brun to kick Castres 16-14 ahead. Despite Archer returning for Kilcoyne, with Oli Jager moving to loosehead, the scrum coughed up another penalty. They had one final shot from just inside halfway, and understandably opted to go up the line, but much like the performance, Crowley’s kick fell short of that target too. Scoring sequence: 13 mins Papali’I try 5-0; 30 mins Walcker try 10-0; 37 mins Hodnett try, Crowley con 10-7; (half-time 10-7); 49 Fernandez pen 13-7; 69 mins Hodnett try, Crowley con 13-14; 73 mins le Brun pen 16-14.

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? A judge who helped orchestrate one of the worst judicial scandals in U.S.history — a scheme to send children to for-profit jails in exchange for kickbacks — was among the 1,500 people whose sentences were commuted by President Joe Biden this week. Biden’s decision to commute the 17-year prison sentence of Michael Conahan angered many in northeastern Pennsylvania, from the governor to the families whose children were victimized by the disgraced former judge. Conahan had already served the vast majority of his sentence, which was handed down in 2011. “I do feel strongly that President Biden got it absolutely wrong and created a lot of pain here in northeastern Pennsylvania,” Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, said during an unrelated news conference in Scranton on Friday. The scandal “affected families in really deep and profound and sad ways,” he added. Conahan “deserves to be behind bars, not walking as a free man.” A message seeking comment was sent to an attorney who recently represented Conahan, the former president judge of the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas. In what came to be known as the kids-for-cash scandal, Conahan and Judge Mark Ciavarella shut down a county-run juvenile detention center and accepted $2.8 million in illegal payments from a friend of Conahan’s who built and co-owned two for-profit lockups. Ciavarella, who presided over juvenile court, pushed a zero-tolerance policy that guaranteed large numbers of children would fill the beds of the private lockups. The scandal prompted the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to throw out some 4,000 juvenile convictions involving more than 2,300 children. Sandy Fonzo, whose son killed himself at age 23 after Ciavarella locked him up as a teen, called Conahan’s commutation an “injustice.” “I am shocked and I am hurt,” Fonzo said in a statement provided to The Citizens’ Voice of Wilkes-Barre. “Conahan‘s actions destroyed families, including mine, and my son‘s death is a tragic reminder of the consequences of his abuse of power. This pardon feels like an injustice for all of us who still suffer. Right now I am processing and doing the best I can to cope with the pain that this has brought back.” The Juvenile Law Center, which represented plaintiffs in a $200 million civil judgment against Conahan and Ciavarella, said in a statement that it “supported President Biden’s actions” but wants to see the “same kind of compassion and mercy” extended to juvenile defendants around the country.

Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Conahan was a powerful figure in northeastern Pennsylvania before his arrest, regularly meeting for breakfast with the reputed boss of an area Mafia family. When he pleaded guilty in 2010, Conahan apologized to the youths he had hurt. “The system is not corrupt,” Conahan said at the time. “I was corrupt.” In 2020, Conahan was released to home confinement with six years left on his sentence as part of an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 in federal prisons. Ciavarella, who went to trial and was convicted of some of the charges, is serving a 28-year sentence.

Sinter Plant Market to Grow by USD 1.3 Billion from 2023-2028, Report on AI's Impact on Market Trends - Technavio
Dialogue between East and West is a crucial factor in forging the rapprochement of cultures and mutual understanding among disparate peoples. This dynamic reflects historical, cultural, and intellectual dimensions that have evolved over centuries, continuing to influence relationships between diverse cultures. The primary objective remains the bridging of divides between the parties engaged in dialogue, bolstering peaceful coexistence and a more profound understanding of one another. Speaking to Qatar News Agency (QNA), Arab and French researchers and intellectuals affirmed that dialogue between the Arab world and the West has been persistent throughout history and undergone numerous stages but has recently declined due to various factors. They highlighted that the stature of Arab thought and the contributions it made to humanitarian civilisation throughout history have been abundantly clear to all actors and intellectuals worldwide, as this thought has been rich, diverse, and profound, albeit not entirely discovered in Europe and the world. Anthropologist and Assistant Professor of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Duke University in the US, Fadi Bardawil, stated that the dialogue between Arab and Western thought has been inveterate since the Renaissance in the 19th century, during which both written and oral exchanges existed between these intellectual traditions. He emphasised that translation has been a crucial mechanism in augmenting this dialogue, as it enables the transfer of ideas between these two disparate cultural realms. Professor of Development Studies and International Relations at the Department of Development Studies, SOAS, University of London, Professor Gilbert Achcar, highlighted that Arab cultural spaces exist but differ in their relationship with the West, as per variations in the colonial powers that dominated these spaces, underlining that intellectual relationships lay bare the structure of international hegemony, which is dubbed cultural imperialism — a cultural reflection of Western hegemony — thereby restricting the potential for building a real dialogue between both parties. President of the Arab World Institute in Paris, Jack Lang, stated that Arab thought is diverse with crucial historical contributions, though its presence is limited on the global stage, highlighting that dialogue between Arab and Western thought is deep-rooted throughout history and is not virtually improvised. He indicated that Arab thought is a fundamental component in the creation of epochal Arab thought. Thinker, anthropologist, professor at Mohammed VI University in Rabat, and visiting professor at various American, European, and Arab universities, Hassan Rachiq, said that dialogue between Arab and Western thought is forged through diverse intellectual frameworks, each one reflecting its culture and particularities. Rachiq added that this dialogue varies in certain fields, such as philosophy and anthropology, highlighting that his book Near and Distant: A Century of Anthropology in Morocco tackled colonial anthropology. He affirmed that, as an anthropologist, he might find himself in greater intellectual alignment with a Western thinker at times than with an Arab thinker, and vice versa. He believes that the differences and intersections between the two intellectual traditions shift depending on the context and the values being defended, emphasising that it is most crucial for Arab thought to be critical, multifaceted, and uphold the value of the individual. Researcher in cultural and social history and director of the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies in Beirut, Khaled Ziade, affirmed that Arab thought in the 19th century was widely open to Western thought and liberalism and was impacted by national currents that emerged in Europe, with European intellectual influence remarkably declining in the current time due to many factors. Arab thought today is in desperate need of laying out its questions with answers that best suit its particularities, instead of invoking ready Western answers, he noted, emphasising that each thought has its own particularities and unique dimensions reflecting its cultural and social reality. Yemeni writer and thinker, Habib Abdulrab Sarori, told QNA that the challenge of knowing the other enhances thinking, dialogue, and ensures the convergence of thoughts, thereby enabling Arab individuals to understand themselves very well in terms of culture and intellectuality. He highlighted that Arab societies suffer from cognitive and intellectual isolation, where Arab thinkers and intellectuals still revolve around themselves without delving deep into Western thought in its true sense. Emphasising his belief in the significance of profound dialogue between Arab and Western ideologies, he established a cultural society with the objective of introducing Arab grandiose intellectuals, particularly Abu Al-Ala Al-Ma’arri, who is a cultural reference both in Arab civilisation and human civilisation as a whole. Director of the Institute of Feminist Studies and consultant on women’s and gender issues for the UN Development Programme (UNDP), Dr Islah Jadd, said Western thought, which was overshadowing Arab thought, exposed its bankruptcy and the duality of its discourse. She emphasised that this is demonstrated in the way Western intellectuals engage in issues such as Palestine and Ukraine, along with the genocidal war in Gaza. Dialogue between Arab and Western thought is still constant but is in a state of flux with the emergence of new elites on the streets who stood by the Palestinian cause and Arab struggles against colonisation, occupation, and despotism, as well as other humanitarian issues, highlighted Jadd. Poet and Director-General of the Arab World Institute in Paris, Shawqi Abdulamir, noted the real absence of dialogue between Arab and Western thought, stressing that Western thought currently dominates Arab culture. He stated that when Arab people look for a philosophical reference for an epochal issue, they directly invoke the philosophies of Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, and Heidegger, without considering Arab philosophers. The reason behind the current retrogression of Arab thought is neglecting the teachings of Arab philosophy among younger generations and disruption, thereby restricting their abilities to engage in conversation with Western thought, Abdulamir underlined. Director of the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies in Paris, Dr Salam al-Kawakibi, stated that the significant challenge facing Arab thought today is to eliminate orientalism in its negative connotation, which is linked to the colonial past that carries the superiority over Arab intellectual traditions. He stressed that the formidable challenge facing contemporary Arab thought is to break this barrier, along with the Western disregard for this thought. Direct dialogue between Arab and Western intellectual traditions fosters the exchange and cross-pollination of ideas, contributing to the evolution of human thought and deepening mutual understanding, he underlined. Related Story Sony Middle East and Africa, Fnac Qatar host workshop series for content creators West Bay Central Bus Station to operate 27 buses an hour: MoTThe release on parole of convicts in the rice scandal case one after another has sparked speculation about the prospective return of former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who fled the country to avoid imprisonment in the same case. Previously, ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra, formerly a convict on parole, had said his sister could return before the Songkran festival. The discreet release of Boonsong Teriyapirom, former commerce minister in the Yingluck cabinet, from prison for "health reasons" has aroused public suspicion that the process to facilitate Yingluck's return is underway. The former PM was sentenced to five years imprisonment for dereliction of duty concerning burgeoning corruption in the rice-pledging scheme that cost the country enormous economic losses. She fled the day the court issued the ruling. On the same day, Boonsong was handed 48 years in prison for his role in the scheme. Before his release early this month, he had spent only seven years and three months behind bars. With several royal pardons, he was supposed to be in jail until April 2028. But, due to old age and poor health, he could walk out, albeit with an electronic ankle monitoring (EM) bracelet, under an imprisonment suspension programme. As Boonsong's discharge hit the headlines, the public was shocked by reports that two other convicts, former deputy commerce minister Poom Sarapol and Apichart "Sia Piang" Chansakulporn, former top executive of rice exporting firm Siam Indica, had discreetly been released from prison under the same programme. It's an embarrassment for the Department of Corrections. As the agency later confirmed the reports, the way it has handled the cases has drawn heavy criticism. Like Boonsong, Sia Piang was handed 48 years, but according to the Department of Corrections, he was well-behaved and considered an outstanding inmate, and he got five pardons altogether. After serving 12 years and one month, he had 22 more years in prison but was eligible for probation because of his old age and multiple health conditions, including chronic kidney failure. The reduction of hefty jail terms for Boonsong, Apichart and Poom, imposed by the court for such severe corruption cases, raises doubt about the correctional system in Thailand. The public is also curious if it will all set a bad precedent and if the practice compromises the rule of law. Unscrupulous officials could observe it and take note, thinking they could easily get away with such acts, giving more encouragement for them to break the law. Now that the preparation of a new regulation involving detentions outside prison is in its final stages -- it may be in effect by the first quarter of next year -- it's enough to imagine Yingluck coming home before this Songkran, as her brother mentioned. Taking a look at the regulation and its criteria, it seems Yingluck is well qualified, ie she's a first-time convict, has a short sentence time, and has a low possibility of repeating the crime. The government is trying to explain that the regulation, which they say is aimed at alleviating prison overcrowding, has nothing to do with Yingluck's privilege, saying it's the work of the Prayut Chan-o-cha administration. That would sound convincing unless we realise that Somsak Thepsutin, then justice minister, pushed for this regulation. Mr Somsak and Suriya Jungrungreangkit left Palang Pracharath. They returned to Pheu Thai shortly before Gen Prayut dissolved parliament amid speculation that their old boss, Thaksin, was about to return to Thailand. It's believed that Mr Somsak's role in the new regulation earned him a cabinet position as deputy PM and health minister in the Pheu Thai-led coalition. To put it bluntly, it's a political bonus from Thaksin, who influences Pheu Thai. This is also the most convenient time for Yingluck as her niece, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, is in office. Therefore, it's no exaggeration to say that Yingluck will probably enjoy the same prison privileges as her brother, who did not stay a single day behind bars but remained on the 14th floor of the police hospital for six months after returning to Thailand in August last year. It could be said that this coming Songkran will be a happy time for the Shinawatras, with a family reunion. But does not bode well for the country and the rule of law? Definitely not. It will impose a heavy cost on the country's justice system. Chairith Yonpiam is an assistant news editor at Bangkok Post.
US budget airlines are struggling. Will pursuing premium passengers solve their problems? DALLAS (AP) — Delta and United Airlines have become the most profitable U.S. airlines by targeting premium customers while also winning a significant share of budget travelers. That is squeezing smaller low-fare carriers like Spirit Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday. Some travel industry experts think Spirit’s troubles indicate less-wealthy passengers will have fewer choices and higher prices. Other discount airlines are on better financial footing but also are lagging far behind the full-service airlines when it comes to recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Most industry experts think Frontier and other so-called ultra-low-cost carriers will fill the vacuum if Spirit shrinks, and that there's still plenty of competition to prevent prices from spiking. Bitcoin ticks closer to $100,000 in extended surge following US elections NEW YORK (AP) — Bitcoin is jumping again, setting another new high above $99,000 overnight. The cryptocurrency has been shattering records almost daily since the U.S. presidential election, and has rocketed more than 40% higher in just two weeks. It's now at the doorstep of $100,000. Cryptocurrencies and related investments like crypto exchange-traded funds have rallied because the incoming Trump administration is expected to be more “crypto-friendly.” Still, as with everything in the volatile cryptoverse, the future is hard to predict. And while some are bullish, other experts continue to warn of investment risks. Australia rejects Elon Musk's claim that it plans to control access to the internet MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — An Australian Cabinet minister has rejected X Corp. owner Elon Musk’s allegation that the government intends to control all Australians' access to the internet through legislation that would ban young children from social media. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said on Friday that Musk’s criticism was “unsurprising” after the government introduced legislation to Parliament that would fine platforms including X up to $133 million for allowing children under 16 to hold social media accounts. The spat continues months of open hostility between the Australian government and the tech billionaire over regulators’ efforts to reduce public harm from social media. Parliament could pass the legislation as soon as next week. Oil company Phillips 66 faces federal charges related to alleged Clean Water Act violations LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oil company Phillips 66 has been federally indicted in connection with alleged violations of the Clean Water Act in California. The Texas-based company is accused of discharging hundreds of thousands of gallons of industrial wastewater containing excessive amounts of oil and grease. The U.S. Department of Justice announced the indictment on Thursday. Phillips is charged with two counts of negligently violating the Clean Water Act and four counts of knowingly violating the Clean Water Act. An arraignment date has not been set. A spokesperson for the company said it was cooperating with prosecutors. US regulators seek to break up Google, forcing Chrome sale as part of monopoly punishment U.S. regulators want a federal judge to break up Google to prevent the company from continuing to squash competition through its dominant search engine after a court found it had maintained an abusive monopoly over the past decade. The proposed breakup floated in a 23-page document filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Justice Department calls for Google to sell its industry-leading Chrome web browser and impose restrictions designed to prevent Android from favoring its search engine. Regulators also want to ban Google from forging multibillion-dollar deals to lock in its dominant search engine as the default option on Apple’s iPhone and other devices. What you need to know about the proposed measures designed to curb Google's search monopoly U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled that Google maintained an illegal monopoly. The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday could radically alter Google’s business. Regulators want Google to sell off its industry-leading Chrome web browser. They outlined a range of behavioral measures such as prohibiting Google from using search results to favor its own services such as YouTube, and forcing it to license search index data to its rivals. They're not going as far as to demand Google spin off Android, but are leaving that door open if the remedies don't work. Stock market today: Wall Street gains ground as it heads for a winning week Stocks gained ground on Wall Street, keeping the market on track for its fifth gain in a row. The S&P 500 was up 0.3% in afternoon trading Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 352 points and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.1%. Retailers had some of the biggest gains. Gap soared after reporting quarterly results that easily beat analysts' estimates. EchoStar fell after DirecTV called of its purchase of that company's Dish Network unit. European markets were mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. Crude oil prices gained ground. Apple and Google face UK investigation into mobile browser dominance LONDON (AP) — A British watchdog says Apple and Google aren't giving consumers a genuine choice of mobile web browsers. The watchdog's report Friday recommends they face an investigation under new U.K. digital rules taking effect next year. The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker’s tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. The CMA’s report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers “the clearest or easiest option.” Apple said it disagreed with the findings. Atlantic City casino earnings fall nearly 14% in 3rd quarter ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Atlantic City’s casinos saw their operating profits decline by nearly 14% in the third quarter of this year. New Jersey gambling regulators say the nine casinos had a collective gross operating profit of $236.5 million in the third quarter. That was down 13.8% from the third quarter of 2023. Every casino was profitable, but only two — Caesars and Hard Rock — saw their profits increase in the third quarter compared with a year ago. Hard Rock had the highest average hotel occupancy at over 95%, and Ocean had the highest average hotel room price at $335. German auto supplier Bosch to cut 5,500 jobs in further sign of carmakers' woes FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Germany's technology and services company Bosch is cutting its automotive division workforce by as many as 5,500 jobs in the next several years, in another sign of the headwinds hitting the German and global auto industries. The company cited stagnating global auto sales, too much factory capacity in the auto industry compared to sales prospects and a slower than expected transition to electric-powered, software-controlled vehicles. Some 3,500 of the job reductions would come before the end of 2027 and would hit the part of the company that develops driver assistance and automated driving technologies. About half those job reductions would be at locations in Germany.Do you need a VPN at home? Here are 10 reasons you do

We've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch Outlander, including live streaming options for those without cable. Outlander, the time-traveling romance series, returns after last airing in Summer 2023. Based on Diana Gabaldon's novels of the same name, the series first premiered in 2014 and has developed a passionate following over the past decade. The series follows Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan), and eventually their daughter Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and her family. The couple first meet after Claire, a married nurse in the 1940s, time travels back to 1740s Scotland and encounters Jamie. They become entangled through time and each other, setting up an intercontinental, multigenerational saga. Whether you're hoping to watch the new season or looking to get caught up on past episodes, we've got you covered. Plus, we'll show you which streaming service you need in order to watch new episodes before they air on TV.

If you want your streaming service to cost less per month than a single trip for the family to Starbucks, Philo is made with you in mind. It features over 70 channels for just $28 a month, but it is missing popular sports and local networks. There are additional ways to watch STARZ without cable, usually by adding STARZ to your existing live TV streaming service, like Sling TV , Fubo , DirecTV Stream , Hulu , or Prime Video .
