With Boston standout Hilary Knight in the penalty box for a vicious boarding penalty on Sceptres defender Renata Fast, Miller made good on her rebound attempt on a shot by Daryl Watts with a half-open net. Fast recovered for an assist on the winner before 8,089 fans at Coca-Cola Coliseum. The Fleet challenged the goal, but video review deemed Miller’s shot was good. Sarah Nurse got Toronto on the board with a short-handed tally 11:50 into the first period and Emma Maltais added an empty-net strike with 12 seconds left. Boston’s Hilary Knight opened the scoring 3 minutes in, sending a slap shot past Toronto goalie Kristen Campbell, who registered 18 stops on the night. Toronto outshot Boston 41-19. Boston goalie Aerin Frankel, a big reason why her team advanced to the Walter Cup final last spring, had 38 saves. Sceptres: Billie Jean King MVP Natalie Spooner missed the season opener. The PWHL scoring champion underwent left knee surgery in June after getting injured in Game 3 of Toronto’s first-round series against Minnesota. Fleet: Defender Emma Greco played her first game for Boston. She was part of the Walter Cup-winning Minnesota team that defeated Boston in a three-game series last spring. With the game tied 1-1, the Sceptres failed to score during a 59-second 5-on-3 advantage midway through the second period. Boston blocked five shots during the span. Last year, Toronto enjoyed an 11-game win streak en route to its regular-season championship, including three wins against Boston. Boston will play its home opener on Wednesday, a rematch with the Walter Cup-champion Minnesota. Toronto visits Ottawa on Tuesday. AP women’s hockey: https://apnews.com/hub/womens-hockey
Opposition Gathers Momentum: Push for a Vote of Non-confidence Against TrudeauThe South African Defence Forces (SADF) have ramped up security measures along the Malaladrift area, which borders Zimbabwe, as part of a heightened effort to curb cross-border smuggling and prevent illegal border crossings across the Limpopo River. With the holiday season approaching, illegal activities, including smuggling and undocumented border jumping, tend to spike as many Zimbabwean nationals return home or seek opportunities in South Africa due to the struggling economy in Zimbabwe. SADF spokesperson Major Shilangoma Mahlahlane confirmed that the military has intensified patrols in the area, covering a 55-kilometre radius. He explained that security forces were on high alert for smugglers and border jumpers. "Our mandate is border safeguarding. We are covering a 55-kilometre radius of this area. There are hotspots where vehicles are crossing, hotspots where cigarettes and explosives are crossing," Mahlahlane said during an interview with the State broadcaster, SABC News. He emphasized that the SADF's primary objective was to disrupt illicit activities and prevent illegal goods from entering or leaving South Africa. "So our mandate, at all costs, is to disrupt these from taking place and stop whatever should not leave or come into South Africa illegally," he added. Illegal syndicates, often referred to as "magumaguma," are known to facilitate these cross-border crimes. These gangs have become increasingly sophisticated, using vantage points to monitor SADF patrols, enabling them to sneak in and out of the neighbouring country undetected. In some cases, these smugglers even use donkey-drawn scotch carts to transport contraband across the now dry Limpopo River. Despite increased vigilance, security at the Beitbridge Border Post remains a challenge, with many undocumented Zimbabweans still managing to find ways to enter and leave South Africa illegally. While some of these individuals are seeking better economic opportunities in South Africa, others have turned to full-time smuggling, trafficking goods such as vehicles, drugs, cigarettes, fuel, and electrical appliances across the border. The surge in illegal cross-border activities is causing concern for both South African authorities and Zimbabwean officials, as the border remains porous, and the demand for smuggled goods increases, particularly during peak holiday periods. Authorities are now focusing on enhancing both physical and technological surveillance to better monitor and control the situation. As the festive season nears, security at the border remains a top priority for the South African Defence Forces as they continue their efforts to combat illegal border crossings and smuggling activities.
Toronto Sceptres open PWHL season with 3-1 comeback win over Boston Fleet
EL SEGUNDO, CA—Revealing that split ends have grown 50% stronger in just the past decade, a new study published Friday by researchers at the L’Oréal Academy warned that overuse of hair detangler was giving rise to new product-resistant supertangles. “When hair detangler was first developed, we arrogantly assumed we would be living in a world without snagging, but now we face an even bigger threat to smooth, silky hair,” said study author Vicki Zhou, explaining that decades of reliance on hair-detangling technology has led to the evolution of supertangles, which can survive the standard chemicals used to improve follicle manageability. “We could be entering a time when even the most powerful oils and silicones are powerless to contain frizz. These supertangles were localized problems at first, but salon overprescription has led to a vicious cycle in which people are dependent on using stronger and stronger hair detanglers to prevent complete knotting, and scientists can no longer keep up. Right now, top L’Oréal researchers are working around the clock to develop new conditioners that can hydrate, strengthen, and detangle all in one, but if that doesn’t work, we could be looking at a world where all hair is matted and clumped.” Zhou also warned against the development of lab-engineered ultra-snags to test out stronger detangling products, citing the dangers of these supertangles escaping their containment facilities.

The longtime Tesla bull thinks the car company has a number of problems to sort through. Gerber says Tesla stock should be trading around $200, about 40% lower than current levels. Elon Musk spent immense money and energy helping Donald Trump retake the White House, but the Tesla CEO's new political influence may not do much to boost the fortunes of his carmaker, one of the company's longtime backers said. Ross Gerber, a Tesla bull and the president of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management, thinks the electric vehicle maker faces big challenges ahead, even as optimism about Musk's ties to Trump has excited investors and sparked a sharp rally in Tesla stock since the election. Traders are hopeful that Musk's close ties to the president-elect — which ultimately landed the Tesla CEO a new government role — could sway important policy decisions in favor of Tesla. But that doesn't solve the problems Tesla has been struggling with for years, Gerber said, pointing to concerns surrounding the success of Tesla's car business, and whether its new ride-hailing platform or artificial intelligence projects will amount to much. In Gerber's view, Tesla shares should be trading around $200, implying 40% downside from the stock's closing price of $338.23 on Tuesday. Gerber said his fund, which began cutting its stake in Tesla in late 2023, continues to sell the stock in small amounts, keeping Tesla's concentration in its portfolio to just 2%. The fund sold nearly 16,000 shares in the third quarter, though the total value of its remaining stake rose to $71 million, regulatory filings show. "We're still selling it," Gerber told Business Insider. "I used to have a 10%, 12%, even 20% stake in Tesla at some point in my life where it was like, Tesla was taking us to the moon kind of thing. And I just think its best days are behind it." It's worth noting that Tesla handily beat third-quarter earnings estimates, soothing some investor concerns after a tough start to the year. Countering Gerber's views, some also see Musk's new political influence as a big win for his companies. "The biggest winner from a Trump White House remains Tesla and Musk which made a strategic big bet on Trump that will pay major dividends for years to come," Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives wrote following the election. Skeptical of the tech Gerber believes Tesla's technology has plateaued in recent years, and Musk's ties to Washington won't help that. He pointed to issues with Tesla's full self-driving technology, which he's been using nearly every day for the last three years. "So the ultimate reality for full self-driving is it doesn't work, and the precision isn't good. And vision-only systems have flaws that I don't think Elon wants to admit." Gerber thinks the tech issues will persist, partly because Musk looks poised to devote more of his time to his role in the Department of Government Efficiency. Beginning with the acquisition of X, Gerber, in recent years, has been a vocal critic of what he sees as Musk's neglect of his core companies, primarily Tesla . "He doesn't work at Tesla. I mean, let's be real, "Gerber said. We all know where Elon is right now, and he's at Mar-a-Lago. So he hasn't worked at Tesla for a long time." Gerber is also concerned about some of the projects within the company. He pointed to Tesla's ride-hailing platform, which will be competing with more established companies like Uber and Waymo. "Why does it deserve this premium?" he said of the stock. "I get that Elon is now vice president of the United States, but that doesn't necessarily help Tesla." Trump's transition team has signaled that it would end the $7,500 tax credit for EVs— a move that Musk supports —but even that's unlikely to be a bullish catalyst for the company, Gerber said. Musk has said that repealing the tax credit would be more harmful to Tesla's rivals, but Gerber's firm has estimated that Tesla sales could drop around 25% if the tax credit was no longer available. That would be "devastating" to Tesla's business, he said, given that the company has already slashed prices on some of its models in the face of uncertain EV demand in recent years. "If the EV tax credit goes, that would be an extreme negative I would have to react to," Gerber said, adding that it was his biggest concern at the moment. Previously, Gerber told BI he would consider completely closing his position in Tesla by the end of the year if its business didn't improve, or if Musk didn't refocus his attention on his companies. Gerber has since adjusted his view and said he would continue to hold Tesla as a small investment in his portfolio, mostly out of bullishness on EVs in general. "Certainly if you want to get out of Tesla, it's a great opportunity," Gerber said, later adding that he was in "wait-and-see" mode. "And if you're a buyer of Tesla, boy, you're paying a lot for hope." Tesla did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.Aviation Asset Tracking Software Market Hits New High | Major Giants Honeywell, Airbus, Lufthansa Technik 11-30-2024 02:26 PM CET | IT, New Media & Software Press release from: HTF Market Intelligence Consulting Pvt.

Emmerdale fans believe they've cracked the code behind Joe Tate's unexpected return to the Dales. Joe, portrayed by Ned Porteous, made a dramatic return to Emmerdale over the festive period, arriving just in time for the tragic demise of Will Taylor (Dean Andrews), Kim Tate 's (Claire King) spouse. With his sudden appearance shrouded in mystery, questions have surfaced about Joe's hidden agenda and underlying issues. Devoted Emmerdale viewers took to social media en masse to speculate on his 'true' intentions, suggesting that either financial woes or a grave illness could be at play. One tweeted: "If they've just brought Joe back to kill him off, I'm not going to be happy.. # Emmerdale ," while another surmised: "Joe's going to have some terminal illness, isn't he? # Emmerdale ." Another viewer guessed: "I reckon Joe is only back because he ran out of money because he's a drugs addict # Emmerdale ," with another simply asking: "What's up with Joe... # Emmerdale ." Ned Porteous revealed his thoughts about returning as Joe: "I'm so excited to be returning to Emmerdale . There's a lot of unfinished business for Joe, and it feels like the right time for him to make a comeback. "Joe has always been a character with a dark side, but there could be something much bigger at play here. Joe is back for a reason, and the devastation at Home Farm is just the beginning of a much bigger story." He added: "It's safe to say the audience can expect fireworks this holiday season!" Producer Laura Shaw couldn't contain her excitement, adding: "We are thrilled to welcome Ned back to Village. From the moment Joe arrives on screen, it's clear there's trouble ahead but Joe's hiding an even darker secret that could see 2025 start off with a huge bang." In tonight's gripping episode, the disappearance of April (Amelia Flanagan) has Marlon (Mark Charnock) frantically seeking his daughter. Despite Marlon's valiant efforts, including a visit to Jade in hopes she harboured April, her whereabouts remain a mystery. Jade, however, faces her own drama as she ends up in handcuffs, with Marlon inadvertently accelerating the police inquiry during his raid at an illicit boxing venue. The plot thickens at the close with Billy (Jay Kontzle) voicing his suspicions about Joe's involvement in Will's demise to Dawn (Olivia Bromley), after recounting Joe's history in the village. The question lingers ominously is Joe responsible for Will's death? * Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour long episode on Thursdays.

(AP) — New York on Friday repealed a seldom-used, more than century-old law that made it a crime to cheat on your spouse — a misdemeanor that once could have landed adulterers in jail for three months. Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill repealing the statute, which dates back to 1907 and has long been considered antiquated as well as difficult to enforce. “While I’ve been fortunate to share a loving married life with my husband for 40 years — making it somewhat ironic for me to sign a bill decriminalizing adultery — I know that people often have complex relationships,” she said. “These matters should clearly be handled by these individuals and not our criminal justice system. Let’s take this silly, outdated statute off the books, once and for all.” Adultery bans are actually law in several states and were enacted to make it harder to get a divorce at a time when proving a spouse cheated was the only way to get a legal separation. Charges have been rare and convictions even rarer. Some states have also moved to repeal their adultery laws in recent years. New York defined adultery as when a person “engages in sexual intercourse with another person at a time when he has a living spouse, or the other person has a living spouse.” The state’s law was first used a few weeks after it went into effect, according to a New York Times article , to arrest a married man and 25-year-old woman.

New York’s adultery law advanced neither purpose,” Lavine said in a statement Friday. The state’s law appears to have last been used in 2010, against a woman who was caught engaging in a sex act in a park, but the adultery charge was later dropped as part of a plea deal. New York came close to repealing the law in the 1960s after a state commission tasked with evaluating the penal code said it was nearly impossible to enforce. At the time, lawmakers were initially on board with removing the ban but eventually decided to keep it after a politician argued that repealing it would make it seem like the state was officially endorsing infidelity, according to a New York Times article from 1965.
