Perhaps shaking off some rust, Embiid missed his first six shots from the floor and looked sluggish. The Bulls held a 33–23 lead after the opening 12 minutes. Apparently, Embiid needed to warm up and settle in. He scored 19 points in the second quarter, shooting 7-for-11, and grabbed six rebounds. Perhaps more importantly, the center's presence in the paint provided some much needed interior defense. He finished the day with two blocks. Embiid's paint defense today was fantastic.

Applied Digital (NASDAQ:APLD) Hits New 52-Week High – Time to Buy?Wall Street stocks surged to fresh records Wednesday on hopes about easing US monetary policy, shrugging off political upheaval in South Korea and France. All three major US indices scored records, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average finishing above 45,000 for the first time. "The market at this point is looking for excuses to go up, and there's not really anything that might work against that narrative," said Steve Sosnick of Interactive Brokers. "Over the last couple of days, it's managed to ignore all sorts of inconvenient things and decided that the situation in France doesn't matter for them," Sosnick said of the stock market. "The situation in Korea doesn't matter." South Korea's stock market fell less than feared and the won rebounded from earlier losses after President Yoon Suk Yeol swiftly reversed a decision to impose martial law. In Europe, Paris stocks managed to advance as France's government faced looming no-confidence votes. Late Wednesday in Paris, French lawmakers voted to oust the government of Prime Minister Michel Barnier after just three months in office, pushing the country further into political uncertainty. For the first time in over sixty years, the National Assembly lower house toppled the incumbent government, approving a no-confidence motion that had been proposed by the hard left but which crucially was backed by the far-right headed by Marine Le Pen. "Political turmoil in both France and South Korea provide a uncertain backdrop for global markets, with the likely removal of both Barnier and Yoon bringing the potential for both countries to find a fresh direction," said Joshua Mahony, chief market analyst at Scope Markets. Thomas Mathews, head of Asia-Pacific markets at Capital Economics, said the losses in Seoul could have been "much worse" had the president not aborted his plan. "Rarely does a combined sell-off in a country's stocks, bonds and currency feel like a relief rally," he said. Oil prices turned lower after surging around 2.5 percent Tuesday, mainly after the United States sanctioned 35 companies and ships it accused of involvement with Iran's "shadow fleet" illicitly selling Iranian oil to foreign markets. Major producers at the OPEC+ grouping led by Saudi Arabia and Russia were set to meet Thursday to discuss extending output limits. Back in New York, major indices were led by the Nasdaq, which piled on 1.3 percent to finish at a third straight record. Wednesday's gains came after payroll firm ADP said US private-sector hiring in November came in at a lower-than-expected 146,000 jobs, while a survey from the Institute for Supply Management showed weaker sentiment than expected in the services sector. But the lackluster data boosts expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates later this month. At a New York conference, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell refrained from tipping his hand, but he "didn't say anything that would scare the market," said Briefing.com analyst Patrick O'Hare. O'Hare noted that Wednesday's gains were led by large tech names such as Nvidia and Microsoft, which are major AI players. The boost followed strong results from Salesforce, which was the biggest gainer in the Dow with an 11 percent jump.

The Swans stunned Pride Park into silence with less than two minutes on the clock when Zan Vipotnik sent a bullet past Jacob Widell Zetterstrom before Ronald slotted home his first of the season in the 14th minute. Cyrus Christie brought Tom Barkhuizen down inside the box and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing dispatched the resulting penalty to cut the deficit in half and, despite piling on the pressure, Derby succumbed to a second home defeat of the season. Williams told a press conference: “We started the game very well, we were good up until we scored the second goal then we lost the grip on the game and I thought Derby were the better team. “The next thing for us we have to be able to maintain that level throughout the game and we weren’t able to do that to be quite honest today. “They made it difficult, reacted very well after the second goal and didn’t go under, far from it.” Swansea leapfrogged their opponents into the top half of the table with their sixth win of the season and took three points back to south Wales following two last-minute defeats by Burnley and Leeds heading into the match. Williams added: “We’ve recently conceded late goals but they’re a very resilient group and we saw it out in the end. “We’ve dominated games a lot but probably failed to score when we’ve been that dominant and tonight we managed to score the goals when we were dominant. “We scored the goals at the right time today.” Derby had been unbeaten in their last three matches coming into this one but Paul Warne put defeat down to a poor start. He said: “We conceded two and didn’t get close enough, weren’t aggressive enough, not enough body contact and looked soft, that’s my fault. “Maybe I didn’t message it properly. Sometimes it doesn’t come down to shape and tactics but I thought that was what the difference was. “Credit Swansea for the win but after the 25 mins it looked like we would score. I really enjoyed it, that’s the truth. I had 70 minutes of a team giving everything, I don’t think we’ve had that many attempts in the Championship this season. “It’s a rude awakening, last year we would’ve won that 4-2.”

Bryce Young had the look he wanted. With 54 seconds to go, trailing by six and with no timeouts in his pocket against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Carolina Panthers quarterback saw the opposing secondary presenting a coverage that would allow Xavier Legette to sneak behind the defense on the post route head coach Dave Canales had dialed up. Young took the second-and-4 snap and from the Philadelphia 32-yard line. As the pocket formed around him, he confidently stepped up into the middle as Legette made his break toward the end zone. Young fired in his direction, and everything about the play had the makings of a touchdown that would tie the game at 22 prior to an extra point. The Panthers were on the cusp of knocking off arguably the NFL's hottest team in the Eagles, who entered with an eight-game winning streak. But the officials never signaled touchdown. Replay made it clear what they saw on the field; Legette, the 32nd overall pick in the draft out of South Carolina, never secured the ball before the pigskin hit the turf, and the ground clearly caused the ball to move. Incomplete. The Panthers had two more chances to gain 4 yards and secure a new set of downs. No dice. “(Expletive), I thought I caught that (expletive),” Legette told reporters after the game. All things Panthers: Latest Carolina Panthers news, schedule, roster, stats, injury updates and more. Legette said he didn’t know the ball hit the ground until a replay was shown on the Lincoln Financial Field jumbotron. Asked if he felt like he had control before the ball hit the ground he said: “Hell yeah.” Inside of two minutes, and without any timeouts, Canales had no way to ask for an official review. “I thought it would have been the protocol," Canales said of a potential review. "The ball moved around a little bit ... the officials saw it, we saw it on the sideline, it was close. Gonna have to look at it again.” Canales said that the mishap was "absolutely" a play he expects Legette to make. "That’s a big play we’re counting on. He’d be the first one to tell you he’s got to make that play," Canales said. "Bryce steps up, makes a beautiful throw in that situation, had the coverage we wanted. Those are the types of plays we have to make to get back in the winning column." The Panthers have been lining up Legette as the "X" receiver, a position that presents plenty of target opportunities, Canales said. Legette finished with two catches for 39 yards on eight targets. Legette was on the other side of Young's most impressive play of the day. As Carolina started the final drive from its own 3-yard line, Young evaded a sack that would have resulted in a safety and dropped a dime to Legette near the left sideline while almost throwing across his body. “Felt like we were gonna be 97 yards with a chance to win,” Canales said. Legette came up slow after the pickup of 31 yards and was briefly evaluated on the sideline before returning. "We're counting on him ... these are all things that we take and we learn and we grow (from), and I truly believe that we’re going to be in high-stakes games going against great teams and great players and we’re going to have to make those plays," said Canales, alluding to his team's loss last Sunday in overtime against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which came after running back Chuba Hubbard fumbled as the Panthers were in game-winning field-goal range. Young (19-for-34, 194 passing yards, one touchdown, one interception) said his belief in Legette remains strong and that he is a "great player" with a "super-bright future." "I know he knows I always believe in him," Canales said. "I always know he’s going to make the next one. I’m always going to have faith in that. I see how hard he works, the type of guy he is. Great for us, great in the locker room. It’s tough for us. We all miss things." Young said he will reinforce his words by showing him – the quarterback’s not going to stop throwing him the ball. “I trust him in every situation," Young said. "That’s not going to change.” Fellow Panthers wideout Adam Thielen hadn’t talked to the Legette yet when he met the media after the game, but the 11-year veteran wants the 23-year-old to know every receiver has experienced something similar at some point in their careers. “He’s a hard worker," Thielen said. "He does things the right way. We’re proud of him. He had a great game. Just keep working, and we’re there for him."Jess Phillips remembers the fear of the knock at the door. The Home Office Minister spent years worrying about her brother Luke, who spent time sleeping rough during a battle with drug and alcohol addiction that lasted more than two decades. He is now sober and the siblings have rebuilt their relationship. But the heartache was brought home to her again as she visited the Missing People charity this week to hear from staff and families about its vital work. The Mirror is raising money for Missing People - the only UK charity supporting those affected by a disappearance - this Christmas as more families than ever prepare to spend the festive period worrying about their loved ones. At the charity's HQ in Mortlake , south-west London, Ms Phillips said: "Imagine the worst thing, it's torture. It seems like torture to me. These mothers sat in front of me today, feeling like they can't get what they need for their kids, that's torture in and of itself." She added: "There was a case - and this strikes a chord with me - of a sister trying to find her homeless, drug-addicted brother so she can help him. They are going to help find him. I have literally lived through this situation." Urging people to back our appeal, Ms Phillips said: "They are doing amazing things at this organisation and they really need support. Imagine that you wake up on Christmas Day and you don't know where one of your family is. "We're all sat there preparing their dinner, aren't we. We're all sat there thinking, 'I've got to make this many pigs in blankets because there's nine people coming'. Imagine if you didn't know where one of them was and you weren't sure whether the police would be knocking on your door by the end of the day. "As a family member you learn to live with that possibility of the knock on the door at the end of the day. You have to grow up learning to live with the idea that somebody will knock on your door and tell you that your loved one's dead. You learn to live with somebody who is exploited, chaotic, and that's horrendous."

I just think, 'Oh gosh I hope she finds him and I hope that it's not awful and there's peace for them'. Because we have peace." Someone is reported missing every 90 seconds in the UK and more families are being thrust into agonising uncertainty. Recent figures show a 9% rise in the number of children reported missing each year, up from 69,050 in 2021-22 to 75,422 in 2022-23. There has also been an increase in the total going missing, from 166,463 to 171,192. Ms Phillips said: "Speaking to one of the staff who deals with people who are long term missing (about) a mother not knowing where her 22-year-old son is. I've got a 20-year-old son. I don't know how people get up. "The woman said to me, 'She thinks he's alive, I think he's alive. I'm there for her." Ms Phillips went on: "I'm just grateful that people have got someone. "I've dealt with some of the worst things, I've seen some of the most harrowing cases of torture and violence. But I can't fathom that as a mother, just being like they've just disappeared. It's unimaginable. It's what you fear, especially as a parent."

The top minister said the police and other agencies on the ground need to work closely together to ensure people don't fall through the gaps. "It's our job from the centre to make sure that system operates everywhere," she said. "There will always be cracks in people with very complex lives. But you have to try and polyfiller as much as you possibly can." Rising problems with children and young people's mental health are playing a role across the board, from school attendance to work. "Any government that said at the moment there wasn't a crisis in children's mental health services and a problem to be solved hasn't spoken to any children recently," she said. Ms Phillips acknowledged that Black people and those from other minority ethnic communities often get treated differently to white missing persons cases. She said: "I spoke to two women today, one Black woman and one White woman, both with terribly harrowing stories about their kids. "But some of the differences that sprung out in their cases seem to me... well it wasn't a surprise. I represent Birmingham so I am only too aware of the different disparities that can exist in different communities." The Home Office is looking at disparities linked to missing person's cases with the research to be used to inform police work, she said. "This is not something that is being ignored or going like, 'well that's just the way it is'," she said. "It's totally unacceptable."

But their impact was barely noticeable in the overall economy, even if their aftershocks were clear in specific industries. The data show they never fully delivered on his promised factory jobs. Nor did they provoke the avalanche of inflation that critics feared. This time, though, his tariff threats might be different . The president-elect is talking about going much bigger — on a potential scale that creates more uncertainty about whether he'll do what he says and what the consequences could be. “There's going to be a lot more tariffs, I mean, he's pretty clear,” said Michael Stumo, the CEO of Coalition for a Prosperous America, a group that has supported import taxes to help domestic manufacturing. The president-elect posted on social media Monday that on his first day in office he would impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada until those countries satisfactorily stop illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl into the United States. Those tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his initial term. Chinese imports would face additional tariffs of 10% until Beijing cracks down on the production of materials used in making fentanyl, Trump posted. Business groups were quick to warn about rapidly escalating inflation , while Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she would counter the move with tariffs on U.S. products. House Democrats put together legislation to strip a president’s ability to unilaterally apply tariffs this drastic, warning that they would likely lead to higher prices for autos, shoes, housing and groceries. Sheinbaum said Wednesday that her administration is already working up a list of possible retaliatory tariffs “if the situation comes to that.” “The economy department is preparing it,” Sheinbaum said. “If there are tariffs, Mexico would increase tariffs, it is a technical task about what would also benefit Mexico,” she said, suggesting her country would impose targeted import duties on U.S. goods in sensitive areas. House Democrats on Tuesday introduced a bill that would require congressional approval for a president to impose tariffs due to claims of a national emergency, a largely symbolic action given Republicans' coming control of both the House and Senate. "This legislation would enable Congress to limit this sweeping emergency authority and put in place the necessary Congressional oversight before any president – Democrat or Republican – could indiscriminately raise costs on the American people through tariffs,” said Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash. But for Trump, tariffs are now a tested tool that seems less politically controversial even if the mandate he received in November's election largely involved restraining inflation. The tariffs he imposed on China in his first term were continued by President Joe Biden, a Democrat who even expanded tariffs and restrictions on the world's second largest economy. Biden administration officials looked at removing Trump's tariffs in order to bring down inflationary pressures, only to find they were unlikely to help significantly. Tariffs were “so new and unique that it freaked everybody out in 2017,” said Stumo, but they were ultimately somewhat modest. Trump imposed tariffs on solar panels and washing machines at the start of 2018, moves that might have pushed up prices in those sectors even though they also overlapped with plans to open washing machine plants in Tennessee and South Carolina. His administration also levied tariffs on steel and aluminum, including against allies. He then increased tariffs on China, leading to a trade conflict and a limited 2020 agreement that failed to produce the promised Chinese purchases of U.S. goods. Still, the dispute changed relations with China as more U.S. companies looked for alternative suppliers in other countries. Economic research also found the United States may have sacrificed some of its “soft power” as the Chinese population began to watch fewer American movies. The Federal Reserve kept inflation roughly on target, but factory construction spending never jumped in a way that suggested a lasting gain in manufacturing jobs. Separate economic research found the tariff war with China did nothing economically for the communities hurt by offshoring, but it did help Trump and Republicans in those communities politically. When Trump first became president in 2017, the federal government collected $34.6 billion in customs, duties and fees. That sum more than doubled under Trump to $70.8 billion in 2019, according to Office of Management and Budget records. While that sum might seem meaningful, it was relatively small compared to the overall economy. America's gross domestic product is now $29.3 trillion, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The total tariffs collected in the United States would equal less than 0.3% of GDP. The new tariffs being floated by Trump now are dramatically larger and there could be far more significant impacts. If Mexico, Canada, and China faced the additional tariffs proposed by Trump on all goods imported to the United States, that could be roughly equal to $266 billion in tax collections, a number that does not assume any disruptions in trade or retaliatory moves by other countries. The cost of those taxes would likely be borne by U.S. families, importers and domestic and foreign companies in the form of higher prices or lower profits. Former Biden administration officials said they worried that companies could piggyback on Trump's tariffs — if they're imposed — as a rationale to raise their prices, just as many companies after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 boosted food and energy costs and gave several major companies the space to raise prices, according to their own earnings calls with investors. But what Trump didn't really spell out is what might cause him to back down on tariffs and declare a victory. What he is creating instead with his tariff threats is a sense of uncertainty as companies and countries await the details to figure out what all of this could mean. “We know the key economic policy priorities of the incoming Trump administration, but we don’t know how or when they will be addressed,” said Greg Daco, chief U.S. economist at EY-Parthenon.

Things you'll remember if you used the internet in the 1990sThe Swans stunned Pride Park into silence with less than two minutes on the clock when Zan Vipotnik sent a bullet past Jacob Widell Zetterstrom before Ronald slotted home his first of the season in the 14th minute. Cyrus Christie brought Tom Barkhuizen down inside the box and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing dispatched the resulting penalty to cut the deficit in half and, despite piling on the pressure, Derby succumbed to a second home defeat of the season. Williams told a press conference: “We started the game very well, we were good up until we scored the second goal then we lost the grip on the game and I thought Derby were the better team. “The next thing for us we have to be able to maintain that level throughout the game and we weren’t able to do that to be quite honest today. “They made it difficult, reacted very well after the second goal and didn’t go under, far from it.” Swansea leapfrogged their opponents into the top half of the table with their sixth win of the season and took three points back to south Wales following two last-minute defeats by Burnley and Leeds heading into the match. Williams added: “We’ve recently conceded late goals but they’re a very resilient group and we saw it out in the end. “We’ve dominated games a lot but probably failed to score when we’ve been that dominant and tonight we managed to score the goals when we were dominant. “We scored the goals at the right time today.” Derby had been unbeaten in their last three matches coming into this one but Paul Warne put defeat down to a poor start. He said: “We conceded two and didn’t get close enough, weren’t aggressive enough, not enough body contact and looked soft, that’s my fault. “Maybe I didn’t message it properly. Sometimes it doesn’t come down to shape and tactics but I thought that was what the difference was. “Credit Swansea for the win but after the 25 mins it looked like we would score. I really enjoyed it, that’s the truth. I had 70 minutes of a team giving everything, I don’t think we’ve had that many attempts in the Championship this season. “It’s a rude awakening, last year we would’ve won that 4-2.”Trump picks Kelly Loeffler to lead Small Business Administration

New Delhi : The Supreme Court (SC) is slated to hear on Monday, December 9, a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking the inclusion of political parties under the anti-sexual harassment law. The petition impleads the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Communist Party of India-Marxist, the Communist Party of India, the Trinamool Congress, the Nationalist Congress Party, the National People’s Party, the Bahujan Samaj Party, and the Aam Aadmi Party, in the memo of parties. As per the list of cases to be heard, which was published on the website of the apex court, a bench of Justices Surya Kant and Manmohan will take up the matter for hearing on December 9. The PIL seeks a declaration that political parties are bound to follow the procedure for the protection of women in the workplace under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. Further, it seeks direction to constitute a grievance redressal mechanism against sexual harassment as per the directions of the Supreme Court in the Vishaka vs State of Rajasthan case. The petition aims to ensure that political parties comply with the POSH Act and provide a safe work environment for women, free from sexual harassment,” said the plea filed under Article 32 of the Constitution. The petitioner, Yogamaya M.G., a practising advocate at the Supreme Court and women’s rights and empowerment through her work. With millions of members across political parties, it is clear that politics plays a significant role in Indian society, said the petition, adding that the presence of Internal Complaints Committees (ICCs) to address sexual harassment is inconsistent across these parties. The PIL contended that the lack of standardised ICCs across political parties may lead to inadequate reporting and addressing of sexual harassment cases, varied levels of protection and support for victims and perpetuation of a culture that tolerates or ignores sexual harassment. It said that the petition aims to ensure that Indian political parties prioritise creating a safe and inclusive environment for women to participate in politics.

Philadelphia Eagles close on play-off spot with win over Carolina PanthersIn case you missed the bulls with respect to Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Cardano (ADA), stay calm as new opportunities soon come your way. While XRP has been reinventing the edges of cross-border payments, DOGE has overjoyed the meme coin community, and ADA benefits from the scaling and eco-friendly systems. These coins have already made their mark. For investors looking for big opportunities, Rexas Finance (RXS) and Polygon (POL) have proven exceptionally lucrative. What Captivates Investors About Ripple, Dogecoin, And Cardano? There is no denying that Ripple (XRP) has created an edge in the market for cross-border payments powered by blockchain technology. Its recent impressive performance was demonstrated due to its partial regulatory clarity. Nevertheless, system monopolization and litigation battles/obstacles are long-term factors that can harm its worth. Becoming a meme and now a serious currency, Dogecoin has adopted social approaches with community surges over it and notably increased utility around merchant acceptances, including but not limited to merchant acceptances. Even so, speculation makes sense because this bull has limits in terms of growing on a long-term scale. Cardano (ADA) also has great fundamentals like the proof-of-stake consensus system and a focus on scale. As for its moderate growth rate, other newer tokens, such as Rexas Finance, are comparatively in the infant stage of their soaring up. Rexas Finance (RXS): the next level of Tokenization Rexas Finance is taking the world of Real-World Asset (RWA) Tokenization by storm and turning investment in high-value assets such as real estate or fine arts pieces from the privileged few to a wider audience. Its ecosystem utilizes the power of blockchain technology to allow more people access to assets that are otherwise limited in availability, illiquid, and impervious to the traditional finance industry. This ERC-20 token has a maximum supply of one billion units, which includes 42.5% for presale, 22.5% for staking, and the rest for marketing, team, and partnerships. The presale is at the ninth stage and has raised $22,620,155 so far. Rexas Finance (RXS), through its QuickMint Bot for easy tokenization and Rexas Treasury for multi-chain yield optimization enabled by artificial intelligence, has made it possible to adopt a new form of asset. Currently in its presale stage 9, at the rate of $0.125, it declares at least a 6x return when it reaches the $0.20 listing price. By switching public presales for venture capital funding, Rexas Finance allows retail investor participation in this financial revolution. Polygon (POL): Surges in Price After Redeployment of Major dApps Polygon (POL) is a Layer-2 protocol that helps scale the Ethereum blockchain. Hence, the transaction speed increases, costs decrease, and dApps are utilized more maximally. Polygon is significant in constructing new markets thanks to expansion, demonetization, and decentralization. POL Tokenomics: Market Capital : $1.40 Billion Circulating Supply: POL has a total supply limit of 10 Billion, with 1.97 billion in circulation. POL's tokenomics favors slow capital appreciation, provided the future growth outlook for polygon materializes. The value of POL is estimated to be around $5 within a 10-year time frame, with the market cap hovering stealthily around $60 billion. Nonetheless, based on protocol adoption models, extra incentivization from the treasury would be required to guarantee attractive earnings for validators for the first five years. This is expected to result in spending $170 million on rewards to secure the network and keep it operational. Polygon stands out because of the triple convergence that it has been able to rally. Why RXS is the Smarter Pick Massive Upside Potential: RXS is a growth asset, unlike XRP and ADA, which have matured. RXS provides solutions to real-world issues in the finance space while expanding access to high-value assets. Affordability: RXS's presale price of $0.125 makes it very appealing to new and experienced investors. Conclusion Despite their growing popularity, Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Cardano (ADA) are now being challenged by new projects such as Rexas Finance (RXS), as more and more people are being attracted to their unique concepts and ecosystems which are designed with accessibility in mind. So don't wait to buy into the RXS presale or look into POL before the average market does. This is the future of the next wave of successful cryptocurrencies.
