Port of Newcastle supports STEM students’ race towards a sustainable future in world’s largest hydrogen competition The school-based program, supported by Port of Newcastle and run by Horizon Education, will see students design, build, and race their own hydrogen-powered remote-controlled cars in a test of endurance, while fostering an interest in sustainability and renewable energy career pathways. Port of Newcastle CEO, Craig Carmody, said the Port was inspired to bring the global competition to the Hunter while attending the World Hydrogen Summit 2024 in Rotterdam. “The work we are doing to develop a dedicated Clean Energy Precinct (CEP) will not only position Port of Newcastle as the largest energy export port in the country but will also drive the Hunter Region’s diversification. This work can’t be done in a vacuum,” Mr Carmody said. Port of Newcastle CEO As part of the program, students will learn about alternative fuels, renewable energy, and environmental sustainability, while working collaboratively to bring their designs to life. Their hard work will culminate in a four-hour endurance race, with the winning school going on to compete in state, national and international races. State Member for Newcastle, Tim Crakanthorp MP, said, “This is a wonderful way to support our next generation of thinkers as they engage with clean energy leaders. This will provide a platform for our local students to contribute to Newcastle’s vision for a sustainable future.” University of Newcastle Vice-Chancellor, Professor Alex Zelinsky AO, said the program was a great opportunity to show the next generation what their future careers could look like and have some fun. Professor said. “It’s incredibly rewarding for our academics to be involved in such a meaningful initiative. By sharing their expertise and mentoring these students, they will help demonstrate the exciting potential of a career in the clean energy sector. These early experiences can really shape a student’s trajectory and show them what’s possible.” Participating schools include Warners Bay High School, Rutherford Technology High School, Merewether High School, Irrawang High School and Callaghan College Waratah Campus. Merewether High School Principal, said, Participating in the Hydrogen Grand Prix provides an incredible opportunity for our students to develop real-world skills and a passion for clean energy solutions, which are essential for shaping a brighter future for our planet.” Port of Newcastle’s Clean Energy Precinct is supported by the Australian and NSW governments alongside industry partners and, once fully developed, will contribute $4.2 billion to the nation’s economy and generate 5,800 new jobs in the Hunter by 2040.

While Windows 11 is a free download for those with fairly recent computers, there are differences from Windows 10. Your existing software should continue to run on Windows 11. Various free third-party downloads can help make it act and look more like Windows 10. Assuming your PC runs Windows 11, you may need to make some slight changes in its boot configuration for Windows 11 to load. Most users fear tweaking the boot setup, so that might require a trip to a local computer service business. If you can’t bear to part with Windows 10, Microsoft will sell individual users a year’s worth of security patches for $30, which means October 2026. When Microsoft introduced Windows 10 in July 2015, it hinted that it would be its final operating system. Of course, there’s no profit in that. Windows 11 works well and contains some enhanced security features missing from Windows 10. Those of you who wait until October 2026 to finally upgrade may be hearing about Windows 12, although Microsoft probably will support Windows 11 until 2031. Microsoft is shoving Windows 11 down our throats because it has been programmed to accept push advertising. Soon you may see ads during boot or on your desktop. He correctly surmised that running fiber into every home in sparsely populated areas would not be cost effective. The only other option, excluding satellite Starlink and its forthcoming Amazon competitor, would be to lay fiber to nodes every mile or two and then wirelessly beam the internet signal to many houses at once. This would be considerably slower than direct-to-home fiber. A more primitive version of this already exists in some rural areas, except it does not use fiber for the trunk line and the wireless is very slow. No broadband internet connection delivers the speed and dependability of direct-to-home fiber. It reliably provides 1 gigabit (1 gig) symmetrical up and down speeds. Fiber is nearly impervious to solar flares, thunderstorms, snowstorms and man-made radio interference. (Rodents can chew through it, however.) We need to make the commitment of providing high-speed broadband, whether direct-to-home fiber or at least 100 mbps wireless, to all rural residents at affordable prices. Maybe you’re frantic at this point to find a last-minute gift for either holiday. The easiest, quickly purchased gifts are ubiquitous noise-canceling headphones, whether earbuds or over-the-ear. Prices range from $50 to $400. The small, easily wrapped packages fit anywhere. A decade ago, Bose nearly owned the market. Now, numerous brands deliver competitive performance. Anker Soundcore, Apple, Beats, Bowers & Wilkins, Sennheiser, Sony and, yes, Bose all deliver top-notch sound with good to great noise cancellation. Try to find a retail dealer rather than ordering online, since comfort is as important as sound quality. This could be the last holiday season with these prices, considering possible tariffs next year. Speaking of tariffs, Inauguration Day arrives in a month. There’s no telling how new government policies will affect the price of electronics, whether from China, Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia or Mexico. Chinese companies might shift manufacturing to countries with lower labor costs. Thus, a 20 percent tariff might only appear as a 10 percent price increase. While there’s little need to stampede to local retailers or overload the Amazon website, prices most likely will rise. There is padding in pricing, so some manufacturers might accept lower profit margins to support sales. Greedier companies might also raise prices on stock already in the U.S. If you’re planning to buy that new big-screen TV to watch the Super Bowl, you might want to grab one sooner rather than later. Currently, the prices of big-screen TVs remain temptingly low. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah.

Microsoft announces quarterly dividend

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas won the Big 12 title in 2023 on its way out the door to the Southeastern Conference. It was still swinging open when Arizona State waltzed in and won the league title in its debut season. And now the old Big 12 champs meet the new Big 12 champs on the path toward a potential national title. The fifth-seeded Longhorns and fourth-seeded Sun Devils play News Years Day in the Peach Bowl in the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff . Both had their doubters they could get here. Texas (12-2) still had to prove is was “ready” for the SEC. Arizona State (11-2) was picked to finish last in the Big 12. But the Sun Devils quickly started winning and having fun in some new road environments in college towns smaller than some of their stops in the more cosmopolitan old Pac-12. All-American running back Cam Skattebo led the barnstorming tour. “We were not used to getting tortillas thrown at us at Texas Tech. You're not used to some of these environments," Sun Devils coach Kenny Dillingham said Monday. “When you're in the Pac-12, you're playing in Seattle, you're playing in L.A., you're playing in Salt Lake City. We got to face a lot more small college town football with really, really great environments. ... It was definitely fun to join a new league," Dillingham said. And Dillingham laid down some Texas roots. The Sun Devils are recruiting Texas players out of high school, and the current roster has six transfers who started their college careers in burnt orange in Austin. “The guys we’ve gotten from Texas and coach (Steve Sarkisian's) program have been unbelievable,” Dillingham said. “We know what we’re getting when we’re getting a guy from that program, and that’s a guy who has worked really hard, competed and been pushed. Those are the things that we like to bring in.” Safety Xavion Alford was named All-Big 12 . Defensive end Prince Dorbah is another Sun Devils starter. Defensive lineman Zac Swanson, who has two sacks this season, is another former Longhorn who said he relished a chance to beat his former team. Recruited by Texas out of Phoenix, Swanson was a reserve in 2022 and 2023 behind future NFL draft picks T'Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy. “That's a team who kicked me out and said I'd never I was never going to be good enough to play there,” Swanson said last week. “That's something that has been on my agenda for a while.” Dillingham joked he'd like to get more Texas transfers this week. Sarkisian simply noted that he wished he'd signed Skattebo, a Californian who transferred from Sacramento State after the 2022 season. “I was unaware, so kudos to them. They found him, he's a heckuva player,” said Sarkisian, who also is a California native. Sarkisian said he was impressed by the Sun Devil's first-year success in the Big 12. “We were in that Big 12, what, for 27 years? We won four. This is their first year in and they won a Big 12 Championship. It’s a really hard thing to do,” Sarkisian said. “They’re playing with a ton of confidence right now. The last two months, I think they’re playing as good a football as anybody in the country.” Despite wining that last Big 12 title and a playoff appearance in 2023, Texas still faced skeptics that the Longhorns would take their lumps in the SEC this year. Texas was more than ready for the league and the Longhorns made it to the SEC championship game. Their only two losses have been to Georgia, the No. 2 seed in the playoff. Sarkisian still remembers his 5-7 Texas debut in 2021. The program wasn't ready for the SEC and the playoff back then, but it certainly is now. Texas is the only one of last year's four playoff teams to make the expanded 12-team field this year. “There’s a lot to be proud of, but mostly I’m proud of our veterans, our leaders, our seniors, because those guys went from 5-7 in year one, they went through 8-5 in year two, and they didn’t jump ship. They hung in there with us. They believed in what they were doing,” Sarkisian said. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

COLUMBIA, South Carolina — Victims’ families and others affected by crimes that resulted in federal death row convictions shared a range of emotions on Monday, from relief to anger, after President Joe Biden commuted dozens of the sentences. Biden converted the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. The inmates include people who were convicted in the slayings of police, military officers and federal prisoners and guards. Others were involved in deadly robberies and drug deals. Three inmates will remain on federal death row: Dylann Roof, convicted of the 2015 racist slayings of nine Black members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina; the 2013 Boston Marathon Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 congregants at Pittsburgh’s Tree of life Synagogue in 2018, the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S history. Opponents of the death penalty lauded Biden for a decision they’d long sought. Supporters of Donald Trump, a vocal advocate of expanding capital punishment, criticized the move as an assault to common decency just weeks before the president-elect takes office. Donnie Oliverio, a retired Ohio police officer whose partner was killed by an inmate whose death sentence was commuted, said the execution of “the person who killed my police partner and best friend would have brought me no peace.” “The president has done what is right here,” Oliverio said in a statement also issued by the White House, “and what is consistent with the faith he and I share.” Heather Turner, whose mother, Donna Major, was killed in a bank robbery in South Carolina in 2017, called Biden’s commutation of the killer’s sentence a “clear gross abuse of power” in a Facebook post, adding that the weeks she spent in court with the hope of justice were now “just a waste of time.” “At no point did the president consider the victims,” Turner wrote. “He, and his supporters, have blood on their hands.” There has always been a broad range of opinions on what punishment Roof should face from the families of the nine people killed and the survivors of the massacre at the Mother Emanuel AME Church. Many forgave him, but some say they can’t forget and their forgiveness doesn’t mean they don’t want to see him put to death for what he did. Felicia Sanders survived the shooting shielding her granddaughter while watching Roof kill her son, Tywanza, and her aunt, Susie Jackson. Sanders brought her bullet-torn bloodstained Bible to his sentencing and said then she can’t even close her eyes to pray because Roof started firing during the closing prayer of Bible study that night. In a text message to her lawyer, Andy Savage, Sanders called Biden’s decision to not spare Roof’s life a wonderful Christmas gift. Michael Graham, whose sister, Cynthia Hurd, was killed, told The Associated Press that Roof’s lack of remorse and simmering white nationalism in the country means he is the kind of dangerous and evil person the death penalty is intended for. “This was a crime against a race of people,” Graham said. “It didn’t matter who was there, only that they were Black.” But the Rev. Sharon Richer, who was Tywanza Sanders’ cousin and whose mother, Ethel Lance, was killed, criticized Biden for not sparing Roof and clearing out all of death row. She said every time Roof’s case comes up through numerous appeals it is like reliving the massacre all over again. “I need the President to understand that when you put a killer on death row, you also put their victims’ families in limbo with the false promise that we must wait until there is an execution before we can begin to heal,” Richer said in a statement. Richer, a board member of Death Penalty Action, which seeks to abolish capital punishment, was driven to tears by conflicting emotions during a Zoom news conference Monday. “The families are left to be hostages for the years and years of appeals that are to come,” Richer said. “I’ve got to stay away from the news today. I’ve got to turn the TV off - because whose face am I going to see?” Biden is giving more attention to the three inmates he chose not to spare, something they all wanted as a part of what drove them to kill, said Abraham Bonowitz, Death Penalty Action’s executive director. “These three racists and terrorists who have been left on death row came to their crimes from political motivations. When Donald Trump gets to execute them what will really be happening is they will be given a global platform for their agenda of hatred,” Bonowitz said. Biden had faced pressure from advocacy organizations to commute federal death sentences, and several praised him for taking action in his final month in office. Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the ACLU, said in a statement that Biden “has shown our country - and the rest of the world - that the brutal and inhumane policies of our past do not belong in our future.” Republicans, including Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, on the other hand, criticized the move - and argued its moral ground was shaky given the three exceptions. “Once again, Democrats side with depraved criminals over their victims, public order, and common decency,” Cotton wrote on X. “Democrats can’t even defend Biden’s outrageous decision as some kind of principled, across-the-board opposition to the death penalty since he didn’t commute the three most politically toxic cases.” Liz Murrill, Louisiana’s Republican attorney general, criticized the commuted sentence of Len Davis, a former New Orleans policeman convicted of orchestrating the killing of a woman who had filed a complaint against him. “We can’t trust the Feds to get justice for victims of heinous crimes, so it’s long past time for the state to get it done,” the tough-on-crime Republican said in a written statement to the AP. Two men whose sentences were commuted were Norris Holder and Billie Jerome Allen, on death row for opening fire with assault rifles during a 1997 bank robbery in St. Louis, killing a guard, 46-year-old Richard Heflin. Holder’s attorney, Madeline Cohen, said in an email that Holder, who is Black, was sentenced to death by an all-white jury. She said his case “reflects many of the system’s flaws,” and thanked Biden for commuting his sentence. “Norris’ case exemplifies the racial bias and arbitrariness that led the President to commute federal death sentences,” Cohen said. “Norris has always been deeply remorseful for the pain his actions caused, and we hope this decision brings some measure of closure to Richard Heflin’s family.” Copyright © 2024 The Washington Times, LLC.‘Smishing’ and other scams could kill your holiday joy, Postal Service warns

Trump threatens to try to take back the Panama Canal. Panama's president balks at the suggestionSouth Korea lifts president's martial law decree after lawmakers reject military ruleHowever, the N-Dubz star has since left the jungle following a public vote but viewers of the show are shocked at her actions since. Before heading into the Australian jungle, celebrities often share pictures of themselves in their camp uniforms and the ITV show also shares videos and images of them while they’re in there which they share to their own personal accounts. However, viewers noticed the lack of Instagram posts about Tulisa’s time in the jungle following her exit. A post shared by I'm a Celebrity... (@imacelebrity) Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans of the show noticed the singer has deleted her posts about the ITV show and her involvement. After leaving the show, Tulisa would’ve been given her phone back so it’s likely she deleted the posts herself. One viewer said: “Why has Tulisa deleted everything from her socials in relation to #ImACeleb”.

Loose Women star Jane Moore was the first to leave while Dean McCullough, a BBC Radio 1 presenter, was the second to be reunited with loved ones. Recommended reading: N-Dubz star Tulisa was the third to leave the jungle and said: “It is tough in there, leaving is still a happy thing.” Speaking about her I'm A Celebrity experience, she added: “I just think you're more grateful for everything, the food you eat, being around the people you love, the home comforts, just makes you very appreciative of life.” Tonight (December 3), another celebrity will leave the jungle.

‘s publicist at the heart of the scandal surrounding the filmmaker’s alleged smear campaign against his star is explaining her side of the story. Jennifer Abel’s text exchanges with crisis management expert Melissa Nathan were leaked as part of Lively’s against Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios. The actress has accused Baldoni of repeatedly crossing the line both on and off camera, while the director and co-star has denied the charges and maintains that Lively caused problems during filmmaking and deliberately set out to tarnish his reputation. Abel posted a defense of her crisis team exchanges (detailed below) on Facebook, saying they largely amounted to joking about how fans were reacting to the Lively-Baldoni feud during the marketing campaign and did not show that Baldoni’s team ever took specific action against Lively. (The Facebook posts have since been deleted, but has confirmed their legitimacy.) “What the cherry picked messages don’t include, although not shockingly as it doesn’t fit the narrative, is that there was no ‘smear’ implemented,” Abel wrote. “No negative press was ever facilitated, no social combat plan, although we were prepared for it as it’s our job to be ready for any scenario. But we didn’t have to implement anything because the internet was doing the work for us. Sure we talked about it, contemplated if we needed certain things, flagged accounts that we needed to monitor, worked with a social team to help us stay on top of the narrative so we could act quickly if needed, and yes, we rejoiced and joked in the fact that fans were recognizing our clients heart and work without us having to do anything but keep our heads down and focus on positive interviews for our client.” Continued Abel, “As the texts show, we sophomorically reveled and again, joked, privately to each other about the internets feedback to the woman whose team was making our lives incredibly difficult over the course of the campaign. I’m human. The long hours, months of preparation, on top of my day to day scope ... it felt good to see that although we were prepared, we didn’t have to do anything over the top to protect our client.” Abel then explained what she meant by claiming Lively’s team was making their lives “incredibly difficult.” “I was notified at the start of the [marketing] campaign that the opposing team had been planting horrible stories about my client as a ‘fail safe’ if my client did not comply with the demands set forth for the campaign,” she wrote. “Which is why we brought on [a crisis team], as it’s not something that I do. My sole job was to put together interviews, screening opportunities and speaking opportunities for my client in support of the film, a standard scope of work. I did my job. Now what kind of woman would work against another woman who was a victim of all the things being claimed? Thanks for asking. After reviewing the evidence, facts, hard proof that countered every single thing that was being claimed and demanded at the start of production, I made a choice to stand by my client of almost 5 years, who had dedicated his life to the equal treatment of others, especially women. Who had no incidents of negative treatment of others, and who had a wonderful community and team at wayfarer who all held the same moral fortitude and lived their life accordingly. As representatives, we all have to make that choice. So I did that to the best of my ability, and felt good about our efforts.” Also on Monday, attorney Bryan Freedman — who reps Baldoni, along with Abel and Nathan — started to go on the attack: “TAG PR operated as any other crisis management firm would when hired by a client experiencing threats by two extremely powerful people with unlimited resources. The standard scenario planning TAG PR drafted proved unnecessary as audiences found Lively’s own actions, interviews and marketing during the promotional tour distasteful, and responded organically to that which the media themselves picked up on. It’s ironic that , through their effort to ‘uncover’ an insidious PR effort, played directly into the hands of Lively’s own dubious PR tactics by publishing leaked personal text exchanges that lack critical context – the very same tactics she’s accusing the firm of implementing.” The messages between Abel and Nathan included a key exchange where Abel pushes the crisis team, “I think you guys need to be tough and show the strength of what you guys can do in these scenarios. [Baldoni] wants to feel like she can be buried.” To which Nathan replied, “Of course — but you know when we send over documents we can’t send over the work we will or could do because that could get us in a lot of trouble. We can’t write we will destroy her. Imagine if a document saying all the things that he wants ends up in the wrong hands. You know we can bury anyone.” As far as how these messages became public, Abel notes they were not subpoenaed, and says, “I had recently left my previous firm [Jonesworks], at which I was still with during this campaign (with a team who all participated in the campaign and a boss who oversaw) and who had access to my work emails and work phone, so you can deduce from that what you will.” Freedman had some fiery words to say about the leaked texts as well: “Jonesworks was the PR company contractually responsible to promote and protect Wayfarer and Justin. Our investigation has determined that on August 21st, Jonesworks utilized a lawyer and security guard to take possession of Wayfarers confidential information through confiscation of Jen Abel’s phone. We are continuing to investigate the use of that confidential information but demands are being made to Stephanie Jones and Leslie Sloan and once we obtain the evidence, anyone actively involved in any possible connection with this abhorrent conduct will be sued into oblivion.” Added Abel, “I never thought the day would come when I needed to defend myself with my own peers, but this certainly has been an interesting, and devastating quite frankly, couple of days.” In her filing, Lively claims things got so bad on set that there was a meeting with Lively, Sony Pictures, Baldoni and Jamey Heath from Wayfarer Studios, producers on the film, publicists for the film and more to address some of the “inappropriate conduct” that took place on the set. The actress and her team brought forth demands for Baldoni and his team in order to begin production again after the actors strike. Some of the 30 demands included: “No more showing nude videos of women, including producer’s wife, to BL and/or her employees”; “No more mention of Mr. Baldoni’s or Mr. Heath’s previous ‘pornography addiction’ or BL’s lack of pornography consumption to BL or to other crew members”; “No more descriptions of their own genitalia to BL”; and “No more improvising of kissing.” In a , Lively said, “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.” Freedman previously released a lengthy statement denying the claims in the filing. “It is shameful that Ms. Lively and her representatives would make such serious and categorically false accusations against Mr. Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and its representatives, as yet another desperate attempt to ‘fix’ her negative reputation which was garnered from her own remarks and actions during the campaign for the film; interviews and press activities that were observed publicly, in real time and unedited, which allowed for the Internet to generate their own views and opinions. These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media.” Since news of the lawsuit broke over the weekend, Baldoni by his representatives at WME. .
