Economic hardship: Wike reveals 1 major thing Nigerians will do for Tinubu before 2027 electionskygaming 。

ALTOONA, Pa. — The man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare’s CEO struggled with deputies and shouted while being led into court Tuesday as new details emerged about his possible motivation behind the ambush. In his first public words since a five-day search ended with his arrest at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, Luigi Nicholas Mangione emerged from a patrol car shouting about an “insult to the intelligence of the American people” while deputies pushed him inside a courthouse. The 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family is fighting attempts to extradite him to New York to face a murder charge in the Manhattan killing of Brian Thompson, who led the United States’ largest medical insurance company. A law enforcement bulletin obtained by The Associated Press said that at the time of his arrest, Mangione carried a handwritten document expressing anger with what he called “parasitic” health insurance companies and a disdain for corporate greed and power. He wrote that the U.S. has the most expensive health care system in the world and that profits of major corporations continue to increase while “our life expectancy” does not, according to the bulletin. In social media posts, Mangione called “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski — who carried out a series of bombings while railing against modern society and technology — a “political revolutionary,” according to the bulletin. Mangione remained jailed in Pennsylvania, where he was initially charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Manhattan prosecutors began to take steps to bring Mangione to New York, but at a brief hearing Tuesday, defense lawyer Thomas Dickey said his client will not waive extradition and instead wants a hearing on the issue. Mangione was denied bail after prosecutors said he was too dangerous to be released. “You can’t rush to judgment in this case or any case,” Dickey said afterward. “He’s presumed innocent. Let’s not forget that.” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Tuesday night on the social platform X that she will sign “a request for a governor’s warrant to ensure the suspect in the murder of Brian Thompson is held accountable in New York.” Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 230 miles west of New York City, after a McDonald’s customer recognized him and notified an employee, authorities said. An image of Mangione released Tuesday by Pennsylvania State Police showed him pulling down his mask in the corner of the McDonald’s while holding what appeared to be hash browns and wearing a winter jacket and beanie. New York police officials said Mangione was carrying a gun like the one used to kill Thompson and the same fake ID the shooter had used to check into a New York hostel, along with a passport and other fraudulent IDs. A law enforcement official who spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity said a handwritten document found with Mangione included a line in which he claimed to have acted alone. “To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone,” the document said, according to the official. It also said, “I do apologize for any strife or traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming.” Thompson, 50, was killed last Wednesday as he walked alone to a Manhattan hotel for an investor conference. From surveillance video, New York investigators determined the shooter quickly fled the city, likely by bus. Mangione was born into a life of country clubs and privilege. His grandfather was a real estate developer and philanthropist. Valedictorian at his elite Baltimore prep school, he went on to earn undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a spokesperson said. “Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest,” Mangione’s family said in a statement posted on social media late Monday by his cousin, Maryland Del. Nino Mangione. “We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.” From January to June 2022, Luigi Mangione lived at Surfbreak, a “co-living” space at the edge of touristy Waikiki in Honolulu. Like other residents of the shared penthouse catering to remote workers, Mangione underwent a background check, said Josiah Ryan, a spokesperson for owner and founder R.J. Martin. “Luigi was just widely considered to be a great guy. There were no complaints,” Ryan said. “There was no sign that might point to these alleged crimes they’re saying he committed.” At Surfbreak, Martin learned Mangione had severe back pain from childhood that interfered with many aspects of his life, from surfing to romance, Ryan said. Mangione left Surfbreak to get surgery on the mainland, Ryan said, then later returned to Honolulu and rented an apartment. Martin stopped hearing from Mangione six months to a year ago.

TransMedics Reports Inducement Grants Under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4)Players are currently working through the Into the Wild pre-game in preparation for the Wild Area 2024 event in Pokemon Go. However, Niantic is taking heat for a promised feature on paid event tickets, a feature players feel as if the company’s “deceptive” description didn’t live up to. Toxel and Toxtricity have finally arrived in Pokemon Go, and players can bag this adorable Electric/Poison-type ahead of Go Wild Area 2024 by hatching eggs during the Into the Wild event. However, to make the most of the opportunity, many players have picked up paid event tickets for $4.99 each. The tickets list a variety of perks, including increased egg-hatching speed with the “Hatch” option and what players thought would be two additional free Raid passes for spinning PokeStops with the “Riads” option. As stated on the Pokemon Go website, the bonus is “Up to 2 free Raid Passes per day by spinning Photo Discs at Gyms.” However, players are now slamming Niantic for the description, calling the ticket breakdown “deceptive”, as it was taken that the Raid ticket granted two additional tickets on top of the free daily pass. When pressed about the wording on X , the developer confirmed that the Raid ticket only grants one free pass while the event is active. We'll clarify, Albert! Please note that "Up to 2 free Raid Passes each day" for the Into the Wild: Raids ticket includes the daily free one. You should get a total of 2 passes – 1 daily pass and 1 extra. Let us know if you have any other questions! ^MK The original post is from a player who messaged NianticHelp and asked, “I bought both tickets for a wild expedition, but the raid ticket does not grant the 2 extra passes as indicated, and it does not overlap with the extra passes from the Campfire get-togethers. Is there any compensation for this error?” Niantic responded “Please note that “Up to 2 free Raid Passes each day” for the Into the Wild: Raids ticket includes the daily free one. You should get a total of 2 passes – 1 daily pass and 1 extra.” Related: Readers in the comments were furious, adding additional context to the post that included cited links to the developer’s blogs and social media breakdowns of the event, which have the wording “Two additional Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Disks”. One player included a proper screenshot of the event ticket breakdown image from X, though this image is no longer available on the PokemonGoApp X account. I would have never purchased that ticket if you had published the CORRECT information. It doesn’t say UP TO 2, it says 2 ADDITIONAL, we all get one free pass. Misleading and false advertising once again... pic.twitter.com/sr8BBY6i7x Others who spent money on the Raid ticket for Into The Wild were just as angry, with one stating, “You are misleading people with the in game tickrt saying 2× ‘free’ raid passes. Your infographic which you deleted even said ‘2 additional raid passes'”. Another shared a screenshot of their request for a refund on the ticket purchase, thanking Google Play. Gg @NianticHelp . Ty Google Play https://t.co/HuH5GdhiiT pic.twitter.com/Fczc5WhPeE Players widely agreed that if they’d known only one additional pass would be given, they would not have purchased the ticket. At this time, Niantic has not addressed the outrage from players. The Into the Wild event will conclude on November 22, 2024, so it doesn’t seem likely any changes or compensations will be made for the confusion caused by the ticket descriptions provided before and during the Pokemon Go event.Fort Lauderdale, FL, Dec. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Algorhythm Holdings, Inc.

BME: 8.4% Yield From An Undervalued SectorEfforts are underway to try and salvage the Albion Hotel in Bayfield. The historic building’s roof collapsed early Sunday morning under the weight of heavy snowfall, and rain. No one was in the building at the time of the collapse, and no one was injured, but the structure which was built in the 1840’s suffered extensive damage. After meticulously removing the Albion’s damaged roof yesterday, crews from across Ontario were on Bayfield’s Heritage Main Street today working toward protecting the exposed second floor from the elements. Restoration work underway on the Albion Hotel and Restaurant in Bayfield following the collapse of the building's roof, December 10, 2024 (Scott Miller) Neighbours on scene today thought a temporary roof or roof covering of some kind was going to be installed to keep the incoming snow from causing more damage to the historic structure.

Article content Amateur mixed martial arts fighter Natalija Rajkovic saw the red flags as soon as she watched the video her boyfriend took of her training partner Trokon Dousuah’s fight that ultimately caused his death earlier this week. Dousuah, 33, took part in a charity mixed martial arts event put on by U.K. promoter Ultra MMA on Saturday at the Enoch Community Centre and tragically died in hospital on Monday due to injuries sustained in the fight. “In the video, you can see his body looks normal but towards the end of the fight you could see his stomach was inflated, you could tell something was seriously wrong,” said Rajkovic, who told Postmedia that Dousuah died due to a ruptured kidney and had to be carried out of the cage and was seen in severe distress. “The more I think about it, the more red flags come up about how everything was run and handled.” Rajkovic said she believes that Dousuah shouldn’t have been allowed to fight at all because he suffered from asthma and she wonders why that wasn’t taken into account. “I have no idea why he was cleared to fight. Maybe he didn’t tell them he has asthma, but we all had to take a physical from a doctor. If you’re any kind of good doctor and someone tells you they have an MMA fight, they shouldn’t be cleared (if they have asthma).” Rajkovic and Dousuah were part of 30 amateur MMA fighters training to make their debut on this fight card. They trained together with coaches from Kingdom MMA in Edmonton with one-hour sessions twice a week for two months. ‘Eight weeks isn’t enough’ Rajkovic described Dousuah as someone that was “full of energy” and he was “always happy.” But she believed he wasn’t ready to step inside the cage and fight. Dousuah was married with two kids and another child on the way. “Honestly, I don’t believe any of us were ready. Training one or two hours a week for eight weeks isn’t enough,” said Rajkovic, who never got to fight on the card because it was cancelled shortly after Dousuah was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. “I fully knew the risks going into this. I knew I could get knocked out or seriously injured, but I don’t know if everyone who was supposed to fight on this card truly knows the seriousness of MMA. “I had a lot of concerns with how things were run. One fight scheduled on the card, the two fighters had a 20-pound difference in weight. That should never happen.” RCMP are investigating the death of Dousuah but Alberta RCMP Cpl. Troy Savinkoff confirmed to Postmedia that all deaths outside of doctor’s care or hospital are investigated by police. Retired mixed martial artist and current boxer Ryan Ford, who also runs his own fight promotion and trains many mixed martial artists and boxers, is angry that this MMA card was allowed to go forward. Ford posted his displeasure in a video on his social media on Tuesday and didn’t hold back in his criticism of the event. “This is a stark reminder and harsh reality of this sport,” said Ford in the video. “You play basketball, you play football, but you don’t play combat sports. Whether it’s professional or amateur, stepping into that ring or cage, or even just sparring, carries real risk. Risk to your health, and risk to your life.” ‘Puts lives in danger’ Ford, who’s been involved professionally in mixed martial arts and boxing for almost two decades said anyone wanting to become a MMA fighter or boxer needs to take the right approach. “I don’t know who keeps pushing this bull—- nonsense idea that training twice a week for eight weeks with zero experience and stepping into a fight. That’s pure stupidity, and the kind of careless approach is what tarnishes combat sports and puts lives in danger,” said Ford, calling out the promoters who he said are putting inexperienced fighters at risk. “If you’re serious about getting into the fight game (as a fighter), you need to do it right. Get yourself to a legit gym. Find yourself an experienced coach who knows the sport inside and out and most importantly knows your safe. Their priority is to make sure you always make it back home to your loved ones in one piece after every fight. “This isn’t a game, respect the sport, respect your health and respect your life.” Ford told Postmedia on Wednesday he talked to one fighter who was scheduled to fight on the card but she didn’t start to spar until the week before the fight. Ford, who runs both amateur and professional fight cards, said one major concern he saw from this event was that none of the amateur fighters were wearing head gear, oversized gloves and shin guards, which is mandatory at the amateur level. “They asked us if we could train (these fighters), and I said, ‘No chance.’ I don’t corner people unless I train them and I know they’re ready. At the end of the day, if something happens to them, it’s part of me,” said Ford, who said amateur fighters should train for at least six months and have 50-60 sparring sessions before even considering stepping into the cage to fight. Held responsible Both Ford and Rajkovic believe that Ultra MMA and those involved with putting the event on should be held responsible for Dousuah’s death. “I’ve done some research on Ultra MMA and last year they had three fighters die in the U.K.,” Ford said. “The people who run these charity fight cards, they don’t care about the fighters, all they care about is money.” Bookmark our website and support our journalism: Don’t miss the news you need to know — add EdmontonJournal.com and EdmontonSun.com to your bookmarks and sign up for our newsletters here.

Greenville girls’ basketball to look quite different in follow-up to championship yearSrinagar, Dec 17: Jammu and Kashmir Civil Society Forum (JKCSF), under its Chairman Abdul Qayoom Wani, today observed the Pensioners’ Day with a call to uphold the dignity, rights, and responsibilities of senior citizens who have dedicated their lives to serving society during their active years. According to a press release, speaking on the occasion, Chairman Abdul Qayoom Wani emphasised the need to address the concerns of pensioners, describing them as the pillars of our community and a reservoir of wisdom. He called for ensuring that pensioners’ rights are fulfilled without bureaucratic delays. “It is crucial that the government liquidates all pending dues and outstanding benefits in a timely manner. Pensioners should not face unnecessary hurdles in the era of advanced technology, especially regarding life certificates and other document verifications. The process must be made seamless to respect their dignity and convenience,” he remarked. Wani further urged pensioners not to confine themselves to their homes post-retirement. Highlighting their continued role in society, he said, “After years of service, pensioners owe it to society to remain active and contribute through social work. They should join hands with social organisations to support public welfare, assist the government in uplifting the underprivileged, including destitute individuals, widows, and orphans, and combat pressing social issues.” The Chairman also highlighted the increasing challenges faced by youth today, including drug addiction and rising suicide rates. He called on senior citizens to actively participate in addressing these social evils by mentoring the younger generation and fostering a sense of moral responsibility within their communities. “Pensioners have a dual role – not only safeguarding their own rights but also contributing to the protection and betterment of society,” Wani asserted.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs denied bail a third time as he awaits sex trafficking trialQ2 Impact is not giving up on its fight for a chance to compete for a spot on the OASIS+ vehicle after the General Services Administration rejected the company's bid. GSA based its decision on how Q2 is using banned communications equipment for a U.S. Agency for International Development contract. The company has a waiver to use equipment from Huawei Technologies, the China-headquartered telecommunications equipment manufacturer. The company argues that it should be allowed to bid for a place on the general small business portion of OASIS+ because it has the waiver for the USAID contract. Q2 first took its protest to the Government Accountability Office, which in November. Now the company has moved its argument to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. GSA’s position is that the waiver only applies to USAID and is not a blanket waiver. , Q2 explains how it received the waiver from the Director of National Intelligence for the USAID contract. The waiver process is described in the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act, . That legislation also has been incorporated into the Federal Acquisition Regulations. Q2 can use Huawei equipment in areas where it is the only equipment choice. For USAID, Q2 is working under a $25 million contract through the U.S. mission in Egypt that GovTribe describes as a “learning activity program.” The name of the customer is redacted in the public version of Q2’s complaint, but the solicitation number was still listed. Q2 says there are no telecommunications providers operating in the area that are compliant with the ban, so the company had no choice but to seek the waiver. The company also told the court it holds an active GSA Schedule contract, which the waiver is part of. Q2 is claiming that GSA's rejection of the OASIS+ proposal was “arbitrary and capricious," and is a “blatant misreading” of the 2019 NDAA. “(GSA) appears to have completely ignored the fact that Q2 Impact’s limited use of non-compliant telecommunications equipment or services is covered by a valid waiver,” Q2 argues in its complaint. Q2 is asking the court to reinstate Q2’s OASIS+ proposal so it can rejoin the competition.
