WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump is telling the Supreme Court that he can make a deal that will resolve the national security dispute over TikTok and preserve the video site for 170 million Americans. All the justices need to do, he says, is to stand aside and suspend a pending law that could shut down TikTok on Jan. 19, the day before Trump takes office again. "President Trump alone possesses the consummate deal-making expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform," his attorney said in a friend-of-the court brief filed Friday night. His plan might work, at least to buy more time. The justices had agreed to make a fast-track decision on the potentially momentous issue involving social media and free speech. "I think the court is likely to see great benefit in issuing a stay and little downside," said University of California, Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky. "The case poses a novel and very difficult First Amendment issue. Never before has the government tried to ban a medium of communication, but there also is a history of judicial deference to national security claims." Before Trump's intervention, TikTok appeared to face a difficult fight in the court. The House and Senate had passed legislation by large bipartisan majorities requiring the platform to separate itself from its Chinese owner or to shut down in this country. President Joe Biden signed the bill into law in April. And by its terms, it was scheduled to take effect in 270 days. Although the justices are not shy about striking down federal regulations, they are wary of overturning an act of Congress, particularly one that is based on threats to national security. The U.S. appeals court in Washington cited national security when it upheld the law earlier this month. In a 3-0 decision, the judges said the law did not target speech or expression. Rather, lawmakers were convinced the Chinese parent company could gather personal data on millions of Americans, the judges said. If the law took effect on Jan. 19, Apple, Oracle and other U.S. companies could have faced large civil fines if they continued to work with TikTok. Trump's attorney D. John Sauer filed a friend-of-the-court brief that differed in tone and substance from all the others. Rather than weigh in on the First Amendment question the justices had agreed to decide , he explained why Trump was better-suited to decide it. "Through his historic victory on November 5, 2024, President Trump received a powerful electoral mandate from American voters to protect the free-speech rights of all Americans — including the 170 million Americans who use TikTok," he wrote. "Moreover, President Trump is one of the most powerful, prolific, and influential users of social media in history." Noting that Trump has 14.7 million followers on TikTok, Sauer argued that the president-elect is well-positioned "to evaluate TikTok's importance as a unique medium for freedom of expression, including core political speech." He also wrote that as the founder of another social-media platform, Truth Social, Trump has "an in-depth perspective on the extraordinary government power attempted to be exercised in this case — the power of the federal government to effectively shut down a social-media platform favored by tens of millions of Americans." "In light of these interests — including, most importantly, his overarching responsibility for the United States' national security and foreign policy — President Trump opposes banning TikTok in the United States at this juncture, and seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office." In 2020, Trump had voiced alarm over TikTok because of its Chinese ownership. Lawmakers later heard classified briefings that convinced them the foreign ownership posed a danger. But by the time the law won approval, Trump had switched sides. He said he believed TikTok helped him win the support of young voters. "TikTok had an impact, so we're taking a look at it," he told reporters two weeks ago. "I have a little warm spot in my heart." A year ago, his attorney Sauer drew criticism from some legal experts for boldly asserting that Trump as a former president had an absolute immunity from criminal charges for his official acts while in office. But in July, he won a 6-3 ruling from the Supreme Court that gave him and Trump what he had sought. Sauer is now set to represent Trump and his administration before the Supreme Court as U.S. solicitor general. He did not say precisely what the court should do now, only that it "should consider staying the statutory deadline to grant more breathing space" to the incoming administration and that one provision in the law allowed for a 90-day extension before it took effect. The court asked for responses to the competing briefs by next Friday. It scheduled two hours of argument for Jan. 10. It's not certain the justices will readily comply with Trump's request. Two weeks ago, former Trump attorney Noel Francisco filed an appeal on TikTok's behalf urging the justices to put the law on hold for a brief period. But the justices brushed aside that suggestion and said they would decide whether divestiture law violated the First Amendment. "I am skeptical Trump's intervention will make a difference," said Alan Rozenshtein, a University of Minnesota law professor who has written about the pending law. He noted that the Supreme Court denied TikTok's request to stay the law because it did not think TikTok could meet the requirements for a stay: a reasonable chance of winning on the merits. "Trump's argument does not change that," he said. "It may be bad luck for TikTok (and Trump) that the law goes into effect the day before inauguration, but such is life." ©2024 Los Angeles Times.

Begun, the OLED monitor price wars have! We’re already seeing tons of deals on gaming displays for Black Friday, and OLED upgrades have recently smashed through a $500 price floor. This 27-inch AOC 1440p OLED monitor is the cheapest one we’ve seen yet, with . That’s a whopping $200 off its regular price, making it less than half of what you’d pay for a similar monitor just a little while ago. Though AOC is generally a budget brand, this Agon Pro AG276QZD isn’t skimping. It’s a 27-inch monitor with the “sweet spot” QHD (2560×1440) resolution that’s popular with PC gamers right now. And with its 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and Nvidia G-Sync compatibility, it’s more than fast enough for intense online multiplayer games. The screen gives you DisplayPort and double HDMI inputs, plus two USB-A ports, a headphone port, a little RGB bling around the back, and VESA mounting if you want to add a monitor arm. The included stand is pretty good, with a vertical option and an angled base if you like to contort your gaming keyboard into weird spots. The only thing missing here is USB-C for easy laptop connections, but at this price that’s a justified sacrifice. Newegg is offering free shipping and labeling this as a “Black Friday Deal,” so presumably it’ll stick around for the next week.

The project is located on a 15-hectare agricultural wasteland. The choice of a specific technology for the structures supporting the solar panels with trackers 1 and the implementation of an appropriate irrigation system will enable farming activities to resume. The other two projects, with capacities of 8.2 megawatts and 6.2 megawatts respectively, are solar farms with fixed structures. In total, the production of the three projects represents the annual electricity consumption of more than 18,000 inhabitants and will prevent the emission of 7,500 tonnes of CO 2 . " With a capacity of 461 megawatts in operation and under construction, Voltalia is a major player in renewable energy in mainland France and French Guiana. In addition, Voltalia is developing a pipeline of more than two gigawatts of future projects in the country” , said Sébastien Clerc, Chief Executive Officer of Voltalia. Next on the agenda: Q4 2024 turnover, January 29, 2025 (after market close) Voltalia is also a service provider, supporting its renewable energy customers at every stage of their projects, from design to operation and maintenance.

(AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs earned a much-deserved extended rest after their Christmas Day rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers, which capped an unbeaten stretch of three games in 11 days and clinched them the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. That extended rest? Well, it can be just about as long as Chiefs coach Andy Reid wants it to be. The Chiefs (15-1) face the Broncos in their regular-season finale next weekend, a game whose kickoff remains up in the air. But it will be at least 10 days after their 29-10 win in Pittsburgh, a nice rest for a weary team whose bye was back in Week 6. But with nothing to play for in that game, Reid could conceivably give some of his most important players the entire week off ahead of the playoffs. And now that the Chiefs have a first-round bye , that means they wouldn’t face anybody until at least Jan. 18 in the divisional round, meaning a full 24 days between games. “It’s been almost 10 weeks of football, grinding on this short schedule at the very end of the year,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. “We’ll see how Week 18 goes — who plays, who doesn’t play. That’s up to Coach. But having this break, getting healthy, getting ourselves ready for the playoffs, it was super important, especially with the guys we have banged up.” The Chiefs dominated the Steelers without four-time All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones, who was resting his sore calf on Wednesday. They also have not had cornerback Chamarri Conner, who has been out with a concussion, or D.J. Humphries, the former Pro Bowl left tackle who appeared in one game for Kansas City before straining his hamstring. All of them figure to be healthy for the playoffs. The same for guys who have been dealing with minor injuries, such as right tackle Jawaan Taylor, who played against the Steelers despite straining his hamstring the previous week against Houston, and running back Isiah Pacheco, who dinged up his ribs in the win in Pittsburgh. “It will definitely help with some of the guys that are banged up, to get guys back, freshened up a little bit,” said Reid, who has rested important players in Week 18 in the past, including last season against the Chargers. “I think it will be a positive for us.” The trick is to decide exactly how much rest to give everyone. For those dealing with injuries, that full 24-day span without a game could be exactly what they need. For others, it might be too long between games, and getting at least a half of play against the Broncos would help prevent some rust from setting in. “I was just talking to my family about it,” Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie said. “My rookie year, we were able to get, you know, all home games, and you just can’t be out (on the road) in the playoffs. I mean, I’m excited to go out there. I know we got the first round, you know, off, but I mean, I can’t wait to play now.” What’s working The Chiefs won the Super Bowl last season with a wide receiver group that — outside of Rashee Rice — was lacking in dynamic ability. But with the trade for DeAndre Hopkins, the return of Hollywood Brown from an injury and the emergence of rookie Xavier Worthy, the Chiefs have gone from a position of peril to one of profound strength. What needs help The Chiefs have struggled to the run the ball consistently the past few weeks. Pacheco gained just 18 yards on six carries before hurting his ribs against Pittsburgh, and Kareem Hunt was held to 20 yards on nine carries — a 2.2-yard average. Stock up Worthy has smashed through the rookie wall, just as Rice did at this point last season, and has proven to be more than a speedster. He had eight catches for 79 yards and a touchdown Wednesday, giving him at least five catches in each of his past five games. Stock down Pacheco has not been the same after missing more than two months to injury. He has been held to 55 yards rushing or fewer in each of his past five games, and he’s averaging just 2.7 yards per carry over his past three. Injuries There were no significant injuries sustained against the Steelers. Key number 77 — Travis Kelce caught his 77th touchdown pass, breaking a tie with Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez for the Chiefs record. Kelce finished with eight catches for 84 yards and a score against Pittsburgh, making him the third tight end in NFL history with at least 1,000 receptions. Gonzalez had 1,325 and Jason Witten had 1,228 while Kelce has 1,004 and counting. Next steps The Chiefs get the long weekend off before deciding who will play in Denver in their regular-season finale. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

In mid-December, FIFA announced the 2030 World Cup would take place in six countries, spanning three continents. Meanwhile, most American sports have been heading to Europe in recent years looking to expand their appeal. These events sell out, usually in record-setting times, but do not come close to matching the worldwide spectacle that comes from hosting 24 grands prix, across five continents and 21 countries, with viewing figures that continue to rise. In that regard, Formula 1 is unique among sporting contests seeking sponsorship revenue and partnership participation. It is why Emily Prazer, F1’s chief commercial officer, feels the series is only growing its portfolio of partners. “We talk about it all the time; the appeal of the global brand is something that we can't really take for granted,” she told Autosport Business. “I think obviously we're up against NFL, NBA in the US and the Premier League in the UK. But I think people are starting to really understand the global reach we have for 24 races in most continents. “I think we've also done a really good job of being a little bit more trusted by brands, seeing the strategy come to life with some of the global partnerships that we've had for a very long time, it has meant that we've been able to stand behind the data, which is really helpful.” Across 2024, F1’s longest-ever season, the championship welcomed new deals, the biggest of which was the one struck with LVMH to bring a number of their ‘maisons’ on board as the 10-year global agreement will result in the brands of Louis Vuitton, Moet and TAG Heuer on display. Add to that Santander and Globant joining, Crypto.com extending its deal and Lenovo elevating into the highest tier of global partners and it has been a fruitful year for Prazer and her team. “I think LVMH are just exactly the type of partner that we want to be working with, just on the activation side alone,” she added. “I think you'll see some really fun stuff that they're working with us on for next year around each of the three brands, which again, is just levelling up, I think against some of the other sports. “We are probably one of the nimbler rights holders as it relates to partnerships. We don't really have a rule book of ‘you have to do this, and you have to do that’. “We get very creative when answering brand’s objectives and I think that's been really good in separating ourselves from the rest. “I think we're quite deliberate around what we do with our brands. Obviously, some of it is relatively progressive. Again, if you look at the AWS, the Salesforce, Tata, those types of brands, they very much support the wider business, which is super helpful, when you're talking and being able to tell a story. “Not everybody gets the opportunity to really weave technology into partnerships, and we're very fortunate in that regard, in addition to the fact that we want it to be the top brands in the world. “So we are very thoughtful about who we partner with, because it's based on what value they provide to our fans, not necessarily just a cash injection into the sport. Obviously, we love money! I think every sport does but, from our perspective, it's very much about how they show up.” With so many new partners joining at different tiers or as part of licensing agreements, does Prazer worry that there could be a time when there are too many brands vying for space in the F1 sphere? “We definitely have category exclusivity, so you'd never see us have two partners in the same category,” she said. “I don't think you'll see us ever over-saturate ourselves. What I think you'll see is deal values becoming more significant, because we do have a scarcity issue, that we will never go above a certain number of partners, and we're very thorough in our due diligence around what value they're providing.” Despite the number of races already on the calendar, there are still areas of the world currently not serviced by an F1 grand prix. Rwanda is keen to bring the series back to Africa , while Argentina has been touted as potentially making a return to add a second race to the huge continent of South America, with those sorts of locations offering new partnership opportunities should they materialise. “When the race promotion team start talking about the calendar, we obviously work with them quite significantly on where we think the opportunities are, because we want to make sure we're aligned in the value of that race market,” said Prazer. “Particularly in Asia, we've got a ton of commercial opportunity that if we had a few more races there, I think would come to fruition quite quickly. “And I think what we've done really well in that regard with our promoters is create identities across each of our grands prix.” In this article Mark Mann-Bryans Formula 1 Be the first to know and subscribe for real-time news email updates on these topics Subscribe to news alerts3 Millionaire-Maker Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks - Yahoo!

(AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs earned a much-deserved extended rest after their Christmas Day rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers, which capped an unbeaten stretch of three games in 11 days and clinched them the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. That extended rest? Well, it can be just about as long as Chiefs coach Andy Reid wants it to be. The Chiefs (15-1) face the Broncos in their regular-season finale next weekend, a game whose kickoff remains up in the air. But it will be at least 10 days after their 29-10 win in Pittsburgh, a nice rest for a weary team whose bye was back in Week 6. But with nothing to play for in that game, Reid could conceivably give some of his most important players the entire week off ahead of the playoffs. And now that the Chiefs have a first-round bye , that means they wouldn’t face anybody until at least Jan. 18 in the divisional round, meaning a full 24 days between games. “It’s been almost 10 weeks of football, grinding on this short schedule at the very end of the year,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. “We’ll see how Week 18 goes — who plays, who doesn’t play. That’s up to Coach. But having this break, getting healthy, getting ourselves ready for the playoffs, it was super important, especially with the guys we have banged up.” The Chiefs dominated the Steelers without four-time All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones, who was resting his sore calf on Wednesday. They also have not had cornerback Chamarri Conner, who has been out with a concussion, or D.J. Humphries, the former Pro Bowl left tackle who appeared in one game for Kansas City before straining his hamstring. All of them figure to be healthy for the playoffs. The same for guys who have been dealing with minor injuries, such as right tackle Jawaan Taylor, who played against the Steelers despite straining his hamstring the previous week against Houston, and running back Isiah Pacheco, who dinged up his ribs in the win in Pittsburgh. “It will definitely help with some of the guys that are banged up, to get guys back, freshened up a little bit,” said Reid, who has rested important players in Week 18 in the past, including last season against the Chargers. “I think it will be a positive for us.” The trick is to decide exactly how much rest to give everyone. For those dealing with injuries, that full 24-day span without a game could be exactly what they need. For others, it might be too long between games, and getting at least a half of play against the Broncos would help prevent some rust from setting in. “I was just talking to my family about it,” Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie said. “My rookie year, we were able to get, you know, all home games, and you just can’t be out (on the road) in the playoffs. I mean, I’m excited to go out there. I know we got the first round, you know, off, but I mean, I can’t wait to play now.” What’s working The Chiefs won the Super Bowl last season with a wide receiver group that — outside of Rashee Rice — was lacking in dynamic ability. But with the trade for DeAndre Hopkins, the return of Hollywood Brown from an injury and the emergence of rookie Xavier Worthy, the Chiefs have gone from a position of peril to one of profound strength. What needs help The Chiefs have struggled to the run the ball consistently the past few weeks. Pacheco gained just 18 yards on six carries before hurting his ribs against Pittsburgh, and Kareem Hunt was held to 20 yards on nine carries — a 2.2-yard average. Stock up Worthy has smashed through the rookie wall, just as Rice did at this point last season, and has proven to be more than a speedster. He had eight catches for 79 yards and a touchdown Wednesday, giving him at least five catches in each of his past five games. Stock down Pacheco has not been the same after missing more than two months to injury. He has been held to 55 yards rushing or fewer in each of his past five games, and he’s averaging just 2.7 yards per carry over his past three. Injuries There were no significant injuries sustained against the Steelers. Key number 77 — Travis Kelce caught his 77th touchdown pass, breaking a tie with Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez for the Chiefs record. Kelce finished with eight catches for 84 yards and a score against Pittsburgh, making him the third tight end in NFL history with at least 1,000 receptions. Gonzalez had 1,325 and Jason Witten had 1,228 while Kelce has 1,004 and counting. Next steps The Chiefs get the long weekend off before deciding who will play in Denver in their regular-season finale. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

7 tips to prepare for next year’s taxes nowMumbai: BMC Imposes ₹50 Lakh Fine On Contractor, Quality Agency For Sub-Standard Road Concretisation Work
In mid-December, FIFA announced the 2030 World Cup would take place in six countries, spanning three continents. Meanwhile, most American sports have been heading to Europe in recent years looking to expand their appeal. These events sell out, usually in record-setting times, but do not come close to matching the worldwide spectacle that comes from hosting 24 grands prix, across five continents and 21 countries, with viewing figures that continue to rise. In that regard, Formula 1 is unique among sporting contests seeking sponsorship revenue and partnership participation. It is why Emily Prazer, F1’s chief commercial officer, feels the series is only growing its portfolio of partners. “We talk about it all the time; the appeal of the global brand is something that we can't really take for granted,” she told Autosport Business. “I think obviously we're up against NFL, NBA in the US and the Premier League in the UK. But I think people are starting to really understand the global reach we have for 24 races in most continents. “I think we've also done a really good job of being a little bit more trusted by brands, seeing the strategy come to life with some of the global partnerships that we've had for a very long time, it has meant that we've been able to stand behind the data, which is really helpful.” Across 2024, F1’s longest-ever season, the championship welcomed new deals, the biggest of which was the one struck with LVMH to bring a number of their ‘maisons’ on board as the 10-year global agreement will result in the brands of Louis Vuitton, Moet and TAG Heuer on display. Add to that Santander and Globant joining, Crypto.com extending its deal and Lenovo elevating into the highest tier of global partners and it has been a fruitful year for Prazer and her team. “I think LVMH are just exactly the type of partner that we want to be working with, just on the activation side alone,” she added. “I think you'll see some really fun stuff that they're working with us on for next year around each of the three brands, which again, is just levelling up, I think against some of the other sports. “We are probably one of the nimbler rights holders as it relates to partnerships. We don't really have a rule book of ‘you have to do this, and you have to do that’. “We get very creative when answering brand’s objectives and I think that's been really good in separating ourselves from the rest. “I think we're quite deliberate around what we do with our brands. Obviously, some of it is relatively progressive. Again, if you look at the AWS, the Salesforce, Tata, those types of brands, they very much support the wider business, which is super helpful, when you're talking and being able to tell a story. “Not everybody gets the opportunity to really weave technology into partnerships, and we're very fortunate in that regard, in addition to the fact that we want it to be the top brands in the world. “So we are very thoughtful about who we partner with, because it's based on what value they provide to our fans, not necessarily just a cash injection into the sport. Obviously, we love money! I think every sport does but, from our perspective, it's very much about how they show up.” With so many new partners joining at different tiers or as part of licensing agreements, does Prazer worry that there could be a time when there are too many brands vying for space in the F1 sphere? “We definitely have category exclusivity, so you'd never see us have two partners in the same category,” she said. “I don't think you'll see us ever over-saturate ourselves. What I think you'll see is deal values becoming more significant, because we do have a scarcity issue, that we will never go above a certain number of partners, and we're very thorough in our due diligence around what value they're providing.” Despite the number of races already on the calendar, there are still areas of the world currently not serviced by an F1 grand prix. Rwanda is keen to bring the series back to Africa , while Argentina has been touted as potentially making a return to add a second race to the huge continent of South America, with those sorts of locations offering new partnership opportunities should they materialise. “When the race promotion team start talking about the calendar, we obviously work with them quite significantly on where we think the opportunities are, because we want to make sure we're aligned in the value of that race market,” said Prazer. “Particularly in Asia, we've got a ton of commercial opportunity that if we had a few more races there, I think would come to fruition quite quickly. “And I think what we've done really well in that regard with our promoters is create identities across each of our grands prix.” In this article Mark Mann-Bryans Formula 1 Be the first to know and subscribe for real-time news email updates on these topics Subscribe to news alerts3 Millionaire-Maker Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks - Yahoo!
