Penn State notes: Linemen Anthony Donkoh, Alonzo Ford Jr. suffer long-term injuriesIf you’ve ever looked for a way to make some extra money or searched around for a new job opportunity, chances are you’ve stumbled onto a few multi-level marketing (MLM) outfits that promise you can make a lot of money really fast, and really easily. You probably know that most MLMs are pyramid schemes where the only real way to make money is to keep recruiting new fools into the scheme, but there are “legitimate” (sort of) MLM businesses where you actually can make some money selling products. But not a lot of money. Even the most legit MLM is a waste of time for the vast majority of people—most people make less than $100 per month from MLM businesses. And those are the legit businesses. So you might wonder how people keep getting sucked into MLMs like Amway when no one seems to make any money at them? The answer is simple: The key word in “Multi-level Marketing” is marketing , and these organizations are good at leveraging psychological tricks against you. Targeting the vulnerable Folks involved in MLMs usually sell a pretty compelling dream: You can work for yourself, set your own hours, and be financially independent . They usually target folks who are seeking work or in desperate need of extra money, which makes them vulnerable to the pitch. Recruiters for MLMs will often depict their own lives as ideal versions of the American Dream—no worries over bills, lavish vacations and lifestyles, all with just a few hours of work every day. Many MLM companies actively target stay-at-home parents seeking ways to earn money on the side and immigrant communities that lack access to more traditional work opportunities, counting on their vulnerability to make them overlook the red flags. If you’ve been tempted by an MLM, chances are you were in a bad place, financially and mentally. Lovebombing Many MLMs recruit using a version of “ lovebombing ,” a firehose of positive attention. The MLM rep assures you that you have that special something that will lead to success, and will talk relentlessly about their own success, often showing you evidence of awards they’ve won or bonuses they secured. They will often try to get you to accompany them to a conference or other gathering where you will be surrounded by people who are just as eager to tell you how successful and happy they are while complimenting you for being smart enough to sense the opportunity. Some MLMs also encourage members to leverage social connections to find new recruits, which means they’re often using social credit and established relationships. If a friend reaches out with an "opportunity," you might be less inclined to shut them down and more inclined to give them some time out of a sense of affection or politeness. Pressure Once an MLM has your interest, there’s usually a pressure element—if you’ve attended a meeting, you will often be surrounded by people who want you to sign up right away, and there’s usually an "opportunity" involved if you do so, like lower startup prices on the company’s products (which you have to pay for upfront, of course). When I was fresh out of school a family friend said he had a job opportunity for me. He picked me up to go to an interview—which turned out to be a meeting for an MLM company. After enduring several presentations from successful members, I was hustled into a room with a half dozen smiling people who suggested I sign up right away, and I had to insist—energetically—that I wasn’t signing anything, that I had to think about it, before they reluctantly let me leave. Combined with a bit of financial desperation, these tactics can be very difficult to resist. Obfuscation Folks trying to talk you into an MLM will talk a lot about success—but usually offer very few details. Most MLMs have complex compensation structures that make it difficult to figure out how much money you’ll actually make, and recruiters will sometimes talk about the income their team has generated, without explaining the income has to be split among everyone, transforming an impressive number into a disappointing one. MLMs also use deceptive disclosure statements to hide the true numbers involved. An FTC analysis found that many MLM disclosures emphasized a small number of high-earning members to obscure the fact that most members earned very little (or even lost money), omitted information (like the number of people who made no money), and often ignored expenses incurred by members entirely in order to make revenue look more robust. Appeal to bootstrapping Another trick MLMs use to trick you is an appeal to the “bootstrap” mindset that suggests the only thing standing between you and financial success is a lot of hard work. In a world where the “grind” is often touted as positive, this can be compelling—if you’re not afraid to work your fingers to the bone, the American Dream can still be yours . This is effective because it’s a pre-built excuse for making almost no money at first. If you grind your way through the first few months of an MLM experience and have nothing to show for it, it’s OK—you were told it wouldn’t be easy at first, you just need to keep grinding until you hit the next level and attain the sort of financial success you were sold. The possibility of passive income, financial independence, and being your own boss will always make MLMs compelling to some folks. Being aware of the techniques they use to pull you in can make you more resistant.

The Wichita City Council often leaves you shaking your head, but this week, you're lucky if you don't need a neck brace. The council and staff spent four hours Tuesday night pleading poverty as they debated how (not whether) to implement widespread paid parking in now-free lots and streets downtown. Then, a few minutes later, they spent another hour deciding to spend more than half a million dollars on two high tech outhouses for Naftzger and A. Price Woodard parks. And since the meeting, council member Dalton Glasscock, who opposed the potty project, has announced plans to tear a page from Donald Trump's playbook and appoint his own personal DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), which is a spectacularly bad idea for reasons I'll get to in a minute. But first, let's talk downtown parking. City staff wants to charge for it, desperately. So do some downtown development interests, who have their eye on land that's now used for parking lots that they want to buy on the cheap for new projects, which would require their own set of city subsidies including (but not limited to) more city-funded parking garages. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of Wichitans who go downtown are opposed to paying for what they now get for free. They're also not happy with the idea of the city hiring a private company from Idaho to write more tickets. Also unsurprisingly, they've been pushed aside. While the council can't agree on a plan, there's apparently unanimous agreement that we're going through with a massive exercise in extracting money from people with cars. Only the details are to be worked out — to be continued on Dec. 10. If you're angry about this, you have every right to be. Squishy numbers What I'm most angry about is that the numbers used to justify paid parking keep changing. The city's mantra has been for months that the fund for parking operation and maintenance has been losing money since 2018. Then, an annoying local newspaper columnist did some addition and subtraction and pointed out that if you take away the two COVID-19 years of 2020 and 2021, when business shutdowns brought downtown parking virtually to a halt, the city actually made a little money on the parking fund. City staff now says the numbers they've been showing in public meetings for months are wrong and that a $53,000 profit last year was really a loss, because of unspecified bills that were paid late, or something. And then there's the issue of "deferred maintenance" of city-owned garages, some of which serve the general public and others that are technically kind of open, but essentially serve as private parking for nearby businesses, including the Drury Hotel, River Vista Apartments and King of Freight. In September, Assistant City Manager Troy Anderson, City Hall's point man for paid parking, said there's $8.3 million in deferred maintenance needed on the garages. In two months, that figure has blossomed to $18 million. The list of projects needing to be done? There isn't one, although Mayor Lily Wu has requested that one be prepared. I can't wait for that list to come out so I can walk the garages and see what really needs work, what are the "wouldn't it be nice?" items and what's just make-believe. Wu has expressed her displeasure that the council may have to divert other money in its capital improvement plan to backstop deferred maintenance on the garages. I would gently suggest that the city scrap another plan of questionable popularity and utility, the ongoing "road diet." This consists of turning one-way streets downtown back into the two-way streets they originally were, while reducing car lanes and adding bike paths that hardly anyone's going to use. That's about $8 million right there. Toilets of steel Speaking of boondoggles, let's return to the case of the pricey privies. City staff recommended and the council approved the purchase and installation of two "Portland Loo" compact outdoor restrooms at a cost of $531,878. They're made of specially coated stainless steel, so it's relatively easy to remove paint or Sharpie graffiti (or replace a panel if someone scratches graffiti in it). And they have blue LED lighting, which makes it harder for intravenous drug users to find a vein. But the signature feature of the Portland Loo is that it has louvers at ground level so interested bystanders can count the number of feet in the stall, to detect possible conduct of a sexual nature taking place inside. In addition to being expensive to buy and install, most cities that have them report cleaning and repair costs of about $11,000 to $20,000 per unit per year — although Wichita City Hall is saying they know a guy who can do it for $5,000. If it were up to me, I'd just put out a couple of regular porta-potties and see how it goes. Paint the inside with a graffiti-resistant coating to deter vandalism and let some local art students decorate the outside and call it public art. Quite honestly, if someone's desperate enough to shoot up or have sex in an outdoor toilet, I'd categorize that as none of my business, and I really don't even want to know. No to local DOGE Glasscock, once a fairly midstream Republican, is the business guy for national right-wing commentator/radio host/podcaster/influencer Todd Starnes, so he has to ride the Trump train to wherever it may lead. And mimicking Trump's example, Glasscock is proposing to set up a DOGE, a quasi-governmental group to comb through the city's books and tell him where to cut spending and who to fire. While on the surface it sounds like a worthy endeavor, such groups almost always consist of "concerned citizens" who are mainly concerned with how they can make bank off inside information and influencing government decisions. We're already seeing it in Washington's version of DOGE, headed up by billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, with support from Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, America's Worst Congressperson (tm). Since the election, stock in Musk's Tesla car company has gone up from $242.84 a share to $353.92 at this writing. Tesla buyers have been getting $7,500 tax credits to buy Musk's cars for years, but now that his company dominates the electric vehicle market, he wants to eliminate the tax credits to keep the competition from catching up, Autoweek reports. Even the name DOGE was calculated to put more money in Musk's pocket. The acronym's a free plug for Dogecoin cryptocurrency. Musk has said he owns "a bunch" of Dogecoin — and it's doubled in value since Election Day. So I agree with Glasscock that the Toilet of Steel is a waste of money that could be better spent elsewhere. But on the upside, a Portland Loo would be the perfect place to stick Glasscock's plan for a DOGE of his own. (c)2024 The Wichita Eagle (Wichita, Kan.)

Check out a full Iowa scouting report that examines the Hawkeyes' offensive and defensive statistics and more ahead of their game against Nebraska. * * * Record: 7-4 Offensive yards per play: 5.7 (73rd nationally) Defensive yards per play: 5.0 (34th) Turnover margin: +11 (T-8th) Penalty yards per game: 29.7 (3rd) New Big Ten, same Iowa. The Hawkeyes have continued to play solid football in Kirk Ferentz's 26th season at the helm, hanging their hat on playing defense and running the football. They lost to the two currently ranked teams they've played and had a couple unexpected road shortcomings, but remain 5-1 at home with a number of decisive victories in conference play. Type: Run-heavy Coordinator: Tim Lester Letting go of Brian Ferentz and bringing in Lester in the offseason has paid dividends for the Hawkeyes already. The Iowa offense has returned to being a respectable unit, its 29.4 points per game ranking 55th nationally. Even with inconsistent health and quality at quarterback, an outstanding ground game has helped lead the team to some blowout wins. Type: 4-2-5 Coordinator: Phil Parker After fielding top-five units the past two years, Parker's defense has seen a slight drop. The Hawkeyes allow 17.7 points per game, fifth in the Big Ten and 12th nationally. Of course, that's still a pretty good number from the accomplished Iowa coordinator, but Michigan State and UCLA were able to break through enough for wins despite not having inspiring offensive attacks. Kaleb Johnson, running back: The nation's second-leading rusher behind Boise State's Ashton Jeanty, no Big Ten back has been in the same realm of total production as Johnson has in 2024. He's already broken Iowa's single-season rushing touchdown record and is third on the program's list for yards on the ground in a season. Jay Higgins, linebacker: Leads Iowa in total tackles (106), interceptions (4) and forced fumbles (2), while ranking third on the team in pass breakups (5). The fifth-year linebacker has done a bit of everything for the Hawkeyes. "Their players are waving at our guys — ‘Hey, have a good Christmas!’ — that was painful. That was really painful. So I don’t doubt that our guys will be ready. But their guys will be ready. It really just comes down to football." — Nebraska coach Matt Rhule on the team's loss to Iowa in 2023 "This back is fantastic, he makes people miss, and he can burst and go the distance... [Iowa's] doing a really good job, and they’ve run some people off the field just by running the football down their throat." — Nebraska coach Matt Rhule on Iowa's run game "First start as our quarterback... He played with a lot of poise, good awareness out there, made the plays we were hoping we'd make and made good decisions most importantly and protected the football." — Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz on quarterback Jackson Stratton's performance against Maryland 227: Pass attempts by Iowa this year, the least in the Big Ten. Michigan is next with 50 more. 14: Iowa's increase in points per game from last season to this one — from 15.4 to 29.4. 24: Punts downed inside the opponent's 20-yard line by Iowa, the most in the Big Ten.

Israel Launches New Airstrikes on Lebanon as Leaders Draw Closer to Ceasefire With HezbollahHugh Grant Has Always Played the VillainWAYNE ROONEY and wife Coleen go head-to-head on TV tonight in a bid to conquer their jungles. While Coleen stars on ITV’s I’m a Celeb in the Aussie outback, 10,000 miles away Rooney can edge Plymouth away from the Championship drop zone by beating Watford live on Sky Sports. The legendary Manchester United striker , 39, is also facing a number of hazards himself as Pilgrims boss. Argyle are geographically an outpost, have one of the league’s smallest budgets and their main ambition this season is simply to survive. Yet Rooney is winning over hearts and minds in the city with his down-to-earth, man-of-the-people approach. Whether it is singing karaoke with fans , dining out in the city, or visiting boozers for a few pints, he has immersed himself in Devon life. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL A club source told SunSport: “Wayne has really bought into Plymouth. “He’s not come down to be a boss who hides away in his apartment — but wants to feel completely connected to the fans and everything going on.” Due to Plymouth’s remote location in the south-west of England, Rooney has introduced starting some away journeys two days before matches. He likes to stop off halfway to games on Thursday to train before continuing the journey on Friday ahead of a Saturday fixture. Most read in Football This has not led to a win on the road yet but Home Park is becoming a mini fortress with just one league defeat. The ex-England star still takes part in training himself — and has left players open-mouthed with his skills. Rooney often likes talking to his stars and staff about movies, holidays, family life, food and is always sharing little anecdotes away from the game. While we get to see Coleen up close in the jungle, Roo is now making a behind-the-scenes documentary about managing Plymouth. It has not yet been decided which platform it will be screened on. But the Argyle gaffer said: “It’s going to be great for the club. We have cameras everywhere from a club point of view anyway, so it’s not anything new. “They won’t be here every single day and minute. It will give good insight for the fans.” Rooney‘s ex- United team-mate and best pal Tom Cleverley — with whom he won the Premier League in 2013 — is Watford boss. He serves a touchline ban tonight but hit out at critics who reckon Rooney underachieved as gaffer at Derby, DC United and Birmingham. READ MORE SUN STORIES Cleverley, 35, said: “We’ll catch up before and after as friends.

Nittany Lions regulars sustain serious leg injuries at MinnesotaLumax Auto Technologies subsidiary acquires 60% stake in Greenfuel Energy Solutions for ₹153.09 croreMADRID (AP) — Getafe scored twice in three minutes midway through the second half to beat struggling Valladolid 2-0 and record only its second win in La Liga on Friday. The victory ended Getafe’s five-game winless run and lifted it into 15th place in the 20-team standings. Valladolid remained second to last. In the buildup to the match, Getafe sporting director Rubén Reyes described the game as a final but his team was lucky not to go behind as Valladolid created more of the early chances. However, the home side took control in the 69th minute when substitute Álvaro Rodríguez got the opener. Three minutes later, man of the match Allan Nyom made it 2-0. “There’s been a lot of games where we’ve run and fought but lost or drawn,” Nyom, the veteran Cameroon full back, said. “A game that reflects the effort we’ve put in in training is very welcome.” Adding to Valladolid’s woes, coach Paulo Pezzolano was sent off before halftime. The Uruguayan has the league’s worst disciplinary record, with seven yellow cards before Friday’s red. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

Choosing the correct tokens could be transformative for creating significant riches given the approaching next market rise. Nine high-potential tokens—Rexas Finance among them—have special value and great growth potential, hence they are deserving candidates for a multimillion-dollar portfolio building. Rexas Finance (RXS): Tokenizing Real-World Asset Rexas Finance offers solutions that make wealth and asset management better. You can control or tokenize virtually any real-world asset on a global level thanks to Rexas Finance. This includes art, commodities, intellectual property, and real estate. Assets in Rexas Finance can be exchanged in a simplified manner within a wide range of options available in the marketplace. Streamline, secure, and democratize trading with blockchain technology. Rexas Finance is making excellent progress in the world of cryptocurrencies. It is now in its fifth presale stage, and each token is worth $0.07 as of writing. More than 132 million RXS tokens have been sold during the presale, which shows that early investors are very interested. Rexas is already listed on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, and a CertiK audit has proven that it is safe. These changes set the company up well for future growth, especially as it gets ready to enter new markets, making it a token to buy right now to build a $10M portfolio. Polygon (POL): Layer 2 Solution with Strong DeFi Integration As of this writing, Polygon (POL) costs about $0.38 and is a strong layer-2 option for the Ethereum network. Its design makes Ethereum more scalable by making transactions faster and cheaper. It has become much more popular because Polygon supports important decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and NFT projects. It additionally offers a cheaper way of doing transactions as compared to Ethereum’s sometimes expensive gas fees. Polygon has participated in major projects in both the DeFi and the game segments, which adds value to any portfolio. The dedication of Polygon to creating the Web3 ecosystem adds even more to its value offer.
