AP Business SummaryBrief at 4:17 p.m. ESTHelsinge, Hovedstadsomradet–(Newsfile Corp. – December 13, 2024) – JYYNA , a Danish organic tea company, today released insights on how sustainability initiatives are reshaping the UK tea industry, where 98% of Britons consume tea daily according to the UK Tea and Infusions Association. Group of friends drinking tea in a cafe The tea sector has historically faced environmental challenges related to water usage, synthetic pesticides, and packaging waste. However, new sustainable practices are emerging across the industry, from regenerative agriculture to innovative packaging solutions. “This is more than just tea,” says Michael Grauslund Andersen, founder of JYYNA. “It’s about imagining a future where what’s good for the planet is also good for you. Tea can lead that charge.” Industry data reveals significant progress in sustainable practices. Companies have conserved 37 million gallons of water since 2019 through efficient cleaning technologies, according to nam.org. Additionally, “re-earthing” – the process of composting used tea leaves – has diverted over 10,000 tons of waste into nutrient-rich soil. The industry is also addressing packaging sustainability through biodegradable materials and localized production facilities, which have reduced emissions by thousands of metric tons annually, as reported by nammakpsc.com. Regenerative agriculture practices, including no-till farming and crop rotation, are improving soil health and supporting biodiversity in tea cultivation, according to weforum.org. These methods focus on ecosystem restoration while reducing risks for farmers. JYYNA continues to contribute to this transformation through its certified organic tea offerings and sustainable practices, demonstrating how premium tea products can align with environmental responsibility.

Performance will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown. Performance information shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2024 for tax reporting purposes will be made after year end. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Based on current estimates a portion of the distributions consist of a return of capital. These estimates may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year's distributions) contained in shareholder 1099-DIV forms after the end of the year.

It’s unclear if it’s drones or something else, but for sure the nighttime sightings are producing tons of talk, a raft of conspiracy theories and craned necks looking skyward. Related Articles National News | FACT FOCUS: Inspector general’s Jan. 6 report misrepresented as proof of FBI setup National News | OpenAI whistleblower found dead in San Francisco apartment National News | Judge rejects an attempt by Trump campaign lawyer to invalidate guilty plea in Georgia election case National News | Texas’ abortion pill lawsuit against New York doctor marks new challenge to interstate telemedicine National News | US military flies American released from Syrian prison to Jordan, officials say Cropping up on local news and social media sites around Thanksgiving, the saga of the drones reported over New Jersey has reached incredible heights. This week seems to have begun a new, higher-profile chapter: Lawmakers are demanding (but so far not getting) explanations from federal and state authorities about what’s behind them. Gov. Phil Murphy wrote to President Joe Biden asking for answers. New Jersey’s new senator, Andy Kim, spent Thursday night on a drone hunt in rural northern New Jersey, and posted about it on X. But perhaps the most fantastic development is the dizzying proliferation of conspiracies — none of which has been confirmed or suggested by federal and state officials who say they’re looking into what’s happening. It has become shorthand to refer to the flying machines as drones, but there are questions about whether what people are seeing are unmanned aircraft or something else. Some theorize the drones came from an Iranian mothership. Others think they are the Secret Service making sure President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster property is secure. Others worry about China. The deep state. And on. In the face of uncertainty, people have done what they do in 2024: Create a social media group. The Facebook page, New Jersey Mystery Drones — let’s solve it , has nearly 44,000 members, up from 39,000 late Thursday. People are posting their photo and video sightings, and the online commenters take it from there. One video shows a whitish light flying in a darkened sky, and one commenter concludes it’s otherworldly. “Straight up orbs,” the person says. Others weigh in to say it’s a plane or maybe a satellite. Another group called for hunting the drones literally, shooting them down like turkeys. (Do not shoot at anything in the sky, experts warn.) Trisha Bushey, 48, of Lebanon Township, New Jersey, lives near Round Valley Reservoir where there have been numerous sightings. She said she first posted photos online last month wondering what the objects were and became convinced they were drones when she saw how they moved and when her son showed her on a flight tracking site that no planes were around. Now she’s glued to the Mystery Drones page, she said. “I find myself — instead of Christmas shopping or cleaning my house — checking it,” she said. She doesn’t buy what the governor said, that the drones aren’t a risk to public safety. Murphy told Biden on Friday that residents need answers. The federal Homeland Security Department and FBI also said in a joint statement they have no evidence that the sightings pose “a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus.” “How can you say it’s not posing a threat if you don’t know what it is?” she said. “I think that’s why so many people are uneasy.” Then there’s the notion that people could misunderstand what they’re seeing. William Austin is the president of Warren County Community College, which has a drone technology degree program, and is coincidentally located in one of the sighting hotspots. Austin says he has looked at videos of purported drones and that airplanes are being misidentified as drones. He cited an optical effect called parallax, which is the apparent shift of an object when viewed from different perspectives. Austin encouraged people to download flight and drone tracker apps so they can better understand what they’re looking at. Nonetheless, people continue to come up with their own theories. “It represents the United States of America in 2024,” Austin said. “We’ve lost trust in our institutions, and we need it.” Federal officials echo Austin’s view that many of the sightings are piloted aircraft such as planes and helicopters being mistaken for drones, according to lawmakers and Murphy. That’s not really convincing for many, though, who are homing in on the sightings beyond just New Jersey and the East Coast, where others have reported seeing the objects. For Seph Divine, 34, another member of the drone hunting group who lives in Eugene, Oregon, it feels as if it’s up to citizen sleuths to solve the mystery. He said he tries to be a voice of reason, encouraging people to fact check their information, while also asking probing questions. “My main goal is I don’t want people to be caught up in the hysteria and I also want people to not just ignore it at the same time,” he said. “Whether or not it’s foreign military or some secret access program or something otherworldly, whatever it is, all I’m saying is it’s alarming that this is happening so suddenly and so consistently for hours at a time,” he added. Associated Press reporter Hallie Golden in Seattle contributed to this report.

Danny Jones McFly bandmates react as he wins I’m A Celeb – joking they voted for Coleen RooneyFor all of George Pickens’.... volatility ... at times in regards to after-whistle incidents or between-games chatter , he has been remarkably durable and reliably available over his three seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. So, even though Pickens suffered a hamstring injury Friday and was officially listed as questionable to play against the Cleveland Browns, Pickens’ replacement in the lineup wasn’t actually expecting Pickens to miss Sunday’s game. “It was like 3 minutes before the inactives were announced, (and) I am just chilling, sitting here (at his locker) in my (street clothes),” Scotty Miller said of when word reached him that Pickens would not play against the Browns. “I didn’t know I was playing, I thought George was going to be out there. “It was crazy, but when you get an opportunity you got to able to take advantage of it – or someone else is gonna get it. That is what we talked about.” Miller and the rest of a Steelers complementary receiving corps that has largely been maligned from the outside since spring? They filled in for Pickens’ absence capably enough to help pace the Steelers’ 27-14 victory Sunday . Since March when the Steelers traded their former leading receiver, Dionate Johnson, it had been long speculated that the organization would acquire another high-level pass-catcher to complement Pickens. That never truly materialized, though the Steelers did trade for Mike Williams on Nov. 5. But the group of Williams, Miller, Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin III and Ben Skowronek had combined for just 44 catches for the Steelers this season – less combined as a five-man group than Pickens had alone (55). But with Pickens’ career-opening “iron man” streak of 46 consecutive games played ending Sunday, the Steelers receiving corps contributed via a Jefferson touchdown and Miller and Williams each having a clutch long (20-plus yard), third-down catch to aid in the win. “You guys (in the media) were asking us about our lack of a ‘No. 2 (receiver)’ in (training camp and the preseason),” coach Mike Tomlin said. “The guys made plays where we throw the ball to make plays. The strength of the pack is the pack. We’ve got a bunch of guys that want to be the reasons why we’re successful, and when given an opportunity, I think they continually prove that, whether Scotty or Mike or Calvin or Van, we believe in our group. I know I’ve said that to you guys repeatedly. Maybe you’ll start believing me.” Miller wasn’t the only skill player on offense who was caught a bit off-guard that their alpha (Pickens led the NFL in yards per catch last season) would not play. Tomlin said the Steelers kept Pickens out because they didn’t think his tender hamstring could handle much of a workload. “We didn’t want a small problem,” Tomlin said, “to become a big problem.” It was late Sunday morning when tight end Pat Freiermuth found out Pickens wasn’t playing. “My dad... texted me, ‘GP is down, hamstring,’” Freiermuth said. “And I was like ‘OK.’ Thanks, Dad.” Freiermuth led the Steelers in receiving yards (48) and had his fifth touchdown to tie for the team lead. “The gameplan didn’t change at all,” Freiermuth said of the adjustments without Pickens. “We have full belief in everybody on the offense.” The receivers combined for eight catches for 88 yards. Though Miller was Pickens’ replacement in the lineup, who ran his routes and lined up at his spot evolved and was malleable throughout the game. “(Receivers coach Zach Azzanni) always has us prepared,” Jefferson said. “He’s always telling us, ‘You never know in the flow of a game what can happen.’ “We all just wanted to step up, and I think we did a great job of doing that.” With Jefferson and Miller here on one-year, low-money contracts, Skowronek a late-preseason acquisition, Williams acquired for a late-round draft pick and Austin having entered the season with 17 career catches, the position group has forged something of a bond – an island of misfit receivers, if you will. Azzanni has worked to create a culture in which each receiver is ready to step up when needed. “That’s why when something like (Pickens’ injury) does happen, it was honestly so painless,” Austin said. “It was one of the big advantages we had today.”Philadelphia's Joel Embiid scored 31 points and pulled down 12 rebounds in his return after missing seven games to spark the 76ers on Sunday in a 108-100 NBA victory at Chicago. Embiid had been sidelined by a left knee injury and personal reasons since a November 20 loss to Memphis, the Sixers going 4-3 in his absence. The 30-year-old Cameroonian-born big man, who wore a left knee brace, also added four assists and two blocked shots in 33 minutes in only his fifth game of the season. "He caught fire there," 76ers coach Nick Nurse said of Embiid. "Certainly he gave us a lot of confidence." Philadelphia guard Tyrese Maxey contributed his first career NBA triple-double with 25 points and career highs of 14 assists and 11 rebounds. "It was good," Maxey said. "The offense flowed really well. Pick and roll was really good. I was able to get everybody involved, get Joel going and get myself going too." "He turned on the jets and got to the rim at some pretty opportune times," Nurse said of Maxey. Embiid was a welcome court presence for the 76ers. "He creates so much space for us on the floor, gets the attention," said Maxey. "I didn't see one pick and roll double team for the first time in a long time." Zach LaVine led the Bulls with 30 points. At New York, Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 34 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Bucks over the Brooklyn Nets 118-113. Damian Lillard added 15 points and 11 assists while reserve Bobby Portis contributed 23 points and Gary Trent Jr. scored 20 off the Milwaukee bench. Germany's Dennis Schroder led the Nets with 34 points. js/mlm

A 26-year-old man who crashed his car into a fence and a parked car while more than four times over the legal limit will be off the road for nearly two years. or signup to continue reading The impact of the crash pushed the parked car into a wall of a house, with the occupants woken by a "loud bang". The man, who cannot be named due to a non-conviction, pleaded guilty in the Bendigo Magistrates' Court on November 22 to drink driving after a night at a friend's house ended with a broken clavicle and thousands of dollars in damage to the car and the house. The court heard he had been drinking with friends on the night of July 28, with the group finishing off two bottles of spirits and numerous bottles of beer. At around 4:20am on July 28 the man was driving home on Hope Street towards the intersection with Drought Street. Given the wet conditions and his state of intoxication he failed to stop at the intersection and drove through the fence of a Drought Street property, the court heard. The man's car then collided with a car parked at the home, with the stationary car pushed into the wall of the house. It was estimated the damage to the car and home was around $10,000 and $5000, respectively. The court heard that if the victim's car had not been parked there the man could have ploughed straight into the house, with the chance somebody could have being killed. After the occupants of the home were awoken, they went outside to investigate saw the 26-year-old in pain. He had a broken clavicle and when police arrived he had slurred speech and was taken to hospital. The court heard a blood sample was taken which later returned a positive reading of 0.206. During his interview with police the man said he was afraid he was going to hit a tree and ended up colliding with a curb before crashing through the property's fence. Magistrate Megan Aumair labelled his actions on the night "outrageous" and "spine-tingling" and said "the community expects" serious matters of drink driving to be punished. "There must be a message sent to you and others who think this is a good idea," Ms Aumair said. After being assessed for a community corrections order the man was sentenced to stay off the roads for 20 months. He was also sentenced to a 12-month community corrections order which included 150 hours of community work and the need to undergo alcohol abuse counselling. The man was not convicted as it would interfere with his visa and any future applications he needed to make. WA boy in Bendigo, happy to be in Central Victoria.

Login or signup to continue reading Individuals would only be able to donate $20,000 and donations above $1000 will have to be disclosed in near real time. But the thresholds aren't set in stone. The Liberals, Nationals and some teal independents are negotiating to increase the donation cap by tens of thousands of dollars - potentially as high as $50,000 - and increase the disclosure limit, with one suggestion to double it to $2000. Increasing the total election spending cap - set at $90 million for political parties and $11 million for special interest groups such as unions and Climate 200 - is also featuring in negotiations ahead of the bill coming before the Senate on Monday. In principle, Labor's legislation is what transparency and reform advocates called for but it's struggling to find friends outside the major parties with independents accusing the government and coalition of a political stitch-up. It's revitalised grassroots supporters with 100 volunteers signing up for independent ACT senator David Pocock's re-election campaign in a single night after the proposed reforms were announced. Extra public cash for candidates to run elections will disproportionately benefit major parties and boost their coffers by millions of dollars not available to independents, crossbenchers argue. Liberals have privately raised concerns about an $800,000 cap per electorate exceeding the $90 million federal cap when all 150 seats are accounted for, meaning the full amount couldn't be spent on each campaign. Despite not all electorates drawing the same expenditure, with major parties putting minimal resources into near-unwinnable seats, there were concerns this could hamper Liberals facing well-resourced independents. Half a dozen Liberals were unseated by teals in 2022. Independents only need to focus on a single seat and can spend up to the cap without worrying about breaching it elsewhere, one Liberal MP said. And while groups such as Climate 200 can spend a lot less than political parties federally, they were targeting fewer seats where advertising could be concentrated, they said. The same argument is being made behind the scenes about minor parties such as the Greens following outcry about the reforms stacking the field for major parties, which Labor disagrees with. But Senator Pocock still questioned whether his history-making victory at the 2022 election could have happened under the reforms due to a mismatch in funds major parties would have had against him. While caps for all Senate candidates are the same - $200,000 per electorate in the state - political parties had their federal war chests they could use to broadly advertise in key seats or states while he would be limited to $600,000. "That's not a level playing field," he said. Senator Pocock and the Greens are likely to vote against the bill in its entirety, arguing there's a lack of scrutiny in the rush to pass a bill that disproportionately helps majors despite it not taking effect until mid-2026, after the next election. The laws are set to start in mid-2026, which would capture the election slated for 2028. Australian Associated Press DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team. Also includes evening update.

It kept him quiet. Temporarily anyway. Pickens missed the first game of his career on Sunday, watching from the sideline in Pittsburgh's 27-14 win over Cleveland that showcased the team's receivers group runs deeper than the unit's talented if occasionally petulant star. Instead of a reunion with Browns defensive back Greg Newsome II just over two weeks after the two spent the final play of Cleveland's victory on Nov. 21 pushing and shoving into a restraining wall — which led to a war of words between the two in the aftermath and run-up to the rematch — Pickens watched from the sideline as the players who have taken a back seat stepped to the forefront. Van Jefferson caught one of Russell Wilson's two touchdown passes. Mike Williams made his first grab in a month. Scotty Miller saw his most extensive playing time since September. None of them have Pickens' ability. For an afternoon anyway, they made sure it didn't matter as the Steelers (10-3) won comfortably as Wilson spread his 15 completions to eight players, a democratic approach that is becoming the norm. “Just knowing that it can come to you at any moment is a fun feeling as a playmaker,” said Miller, who had three catches for 38 yards, including a leaping sideline grab in the fourth quarter. “And it also means the defense can't focus on one player. They’ve got to guard all of (us).” Even if Pickens' absence came as a bit of a surprise, even to his teammates. Tight end Pat Freiermuth found out when he checked his phone in the locker room. His father had sent him a text message that Pittsburgh's leading receiver was out with a hamstring issue that forced him to miss practice Friday. After a shaky start in which the offense looked out of sorts — the Steelers had four three-and-outs in their first five drives — Wilson settled in and the players who have found themselves on the fringes of the depth chart were on the field in important moments. “We have so much confidence in everybody,” Wilson said. “We're having fun, enjoying the process, working our tails off every day.” And they're winning, one of the major reasons that it has been easier for Williams to stomach the fact he has become a role player for the first time in his career. His first catch with Pittsburgh just days after being acquired from the New York Jets was an over-the-shoulder game-winning touchdown grab in Washington. Yet Williams has served as a spectator or a blocker for most of the last month. He has tried to stay ready, and it showed when he made a leaping one-handed snag in the third quarter for a 20-yard gain that set up Wilson's touchdown pass to Freiermuth. “They was (winning) before I got here,” Williams said. “So for me, I just got to show up and when I need to come out and make a play, make a play.” It's a selfless approach that has permeated the offense during a season in which the Steelers (10-3) have surprised everyone but themselves. “The strength of the pack is the pack," Tomlin said. “We've got a bunch of guys that want to be the reasons why we're successful.” The supremely confident Pickens is part of that pack, though he often stands apart for a variety of reasons, not all of them good. Pickens has found himself in the spotlight regularly since being taken in the second round in 2022, not always for the right reasons . Tomlin has grown weary recently of fielding questions about Pickens’ actions. Tomlin said after a victory over Cincinnati that Pickens needs to “grow up, and grow up in a hurry” after Pickens drew a pair of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties against the Bengals for post-catch celebrations, actions that earned him another set of fines from the league. Still, Pickens figured to be in the lineup on Sunday even after being listed as “questionable” on Friday's practice report. When the team made him inactive, it caught the Browns a little off guard. “I was a little surprised,” Newsome said. “I mean, especially when you do a lot of back-and-forth talking and things like that.” Pittsburgh's offense found a way anyway. And the Steelers did it drama-free for once. “We believe in our group,” Tomlin said. “I know I've said that to you guys repeatedly. Maybe you'll start believing me.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL The Associated Press
