2 Oregon men die from exposure in a forest after they went out to look for SasquatchThe HSE has denied it is sitting on land that could be used for much-needed housing despite an internal audit finding it has over 200 vacant sites. Social Democrats' deputy leader Cian O'Callaghan said it is "unconscionable" that a state agency would hold that much land in a housing crisis. “The HSE must outline why it is sitting on these properties and if any plans have been drawn up to sell or repurpose them," said Mr O'Callaghan. “It also raises the wider question of how many vacant properties owned by state bodies are lying empty around the country. “In addition to introducing a vacant property tax with teeth, the next government must carry out a full audit of any empty public buildings or offices that could be handed over to the Land Development Agency or local authorities to deliver social or affordable homes.” In response to Mr O'Callaghan's comments, the HSE said that it had 130 sites in various stages of either being sold or being reviewed for sale. 'Retained assets' It also has 104 properties that are considered retained assets. It says that these properties are vacant and have been retained for "varying reasons", including future needs. "Decisions, informed by service management are based on an understanding of current or future healthcare service needs in the relevant area. "A building may be vacated by one service with a view to refurbishment for alternative use, or a property may be maintained for future service expansion at a specific location for demographic or service requirements. They may be vacant/derelict buildings in the middle of healthcare campus." A spokesperson for the HSE said it continues to "engage with the Department of Health, Department of Housing, the Land Development Agency (LDA) and the Department of An Taoiseach in relation to its surplus assets as part of an ‘all of Government’ approach to increasing housing stock". The HSE said that it adheres to requirements around offering surplus buildings to the State. It said the HSE has disposed of 46 assets in 2023 and 2024, a significant amount of which have been transferred to local authorities and said that state stakeholders, local authorities and approved housing bodies have expressed interest in 55 of the overall total of 130 vacant HSE properties. The HSE said that it also transferred St Kevin’s in Cork City to the LDA for the provision of 266 homes and land at St Finan’s in Killarney to Kerry County Council for housing purposes.oxbet casino 。

The Latest: Matt Gaetz withdraws his name from consideration as Trump’s attorney general

Voters are against replacing disability benefits with vouchers and believe the welfare payments should be more generous, a survey shows. The majority of UK adults do not think personal independence payments (PIP) are too high despite attempts by successive ministers to bring forward cuts. And the public are also against replacing the money – which is to help people living with a disability with day to day activities and mobility – with vouchers, polling carried out by Savanta on behalf of i revealed. The proposal was put forward by the former Conservative government to drive down the rising cost of disability benefits. Liz Kendall, the Work and Pensions Secretary, has not ruled out including the idea in her own reforms, which are expected to be set out next year. Just one in four (23 per cent) of adults polled earlier this month said they support a voucher scheme replacing the current benefit system, with a majority (62 per cent) being in favour of PIP being paid in cash. Support for maintaining cash payments was cross-party, according to the survey, with a 2024 majority of Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat and Reform voters agreeing. The Government is preparing to set out proposals to cut economic inactivity by getting more people into work and imposing tougher sanctions on young people who refuse education or employment . The announcement is part of a wider drive to bring down welfare spending and ministers are also looking to reform disability and incapacity benefits as a means to save money. Changes to the disability benefit system are expected to be proposed, and consulted on next year, and ministers have come in for criticism for leaving claimants in a state of uncertainty. Kendall has insisted her government will come forward with its own plans but has not ruled out looking again at proposals mooted by her predecessor. These include raising the bar for disability benefits, introducing a tiered approach to payments and replacing cash with home improvement services or vouchers. UK adults also overestimate the amount of PIP paid to a claimant over four weeks, according to the survey of 2,228 voters. Only 14 per cent thought it was close to the actual standard rate of £290 for everyday tasks. Some 39 per cent guessed the payments were over £500 and 21 per cent thought they were as high as £700. Despite this, UK adults are more likely to say that PIP is too low (30 per cent) rather than too high (12 per cent). Speaking to MPs earlier this month, Kendall declined to rule out taking the voucher proposal forward under plans to cut the benefit bill for taxpayers. Read Next Starmer ‘peddling benefit scrounger myth’ says Abbott ahead of welfare crackdown “I was very struck particularly by the comments people made around shifting support to vouchers and where many organisations said their real concern was that it took away people’s autonomy and particularly when services are so stretched and tight,” Kendall said. “I will be putting forward our own proposals to reform sickness and disability benefits,” she added. “But based on those clear principles – getting the decisions right first time, early intervention, genuine support to help people into work, [and to] help people live fulfilling and independent lives.” Pressed on whether she would rule out a voucher system, she declined to do so. Chris Hopkins, political research director at Savanta said benefit vouchers “are simply not popular with the public, even for voters who traditionally support lower spending on the welfare state, such as Conservative or Reform UK voters”. “The majority of voters across all major parties believe that PIP should be made in cash to a bank account, as is currently the case,” he said. “Interestingly, only one in seven voters could correctly identify a standard four-week PIP payment – most suggesting a level far higher than is the reality. Despite this, UK adults are actually more likely to say that PIP is too low, rather than too high.” The proposed changes to the welfare system are part of a wider plan to tackle the rise in people claiming disability benefits, which is expected to cost the taxpayer £28bn a year by 2028/29 – an 110 per cent rise in spending since 2019. Ministers are due to set out the next steps for reforming PIP in the coming spring, as revealed by i , and are expected to review the eligibility criteria for PIP to reduce the pool of people who can claim. The Government will set out plans this week to change the process for assessing means-tested benefit claims for those who cannot work due to long-term sickness. The changes will mean young people will lose their benefits if they refuse to take up work and training opportunities. The Labour Government has said it will stick to a commitment under the former Tory administration to reduce the welfare bill by £3 billion over five years. Under the previous government, welfare eligibility would have been tightened so around 400,000 more people signed off long-term would be assessed as needing to prepare for work by 2028/29 to deliver the savings.

SOURCE Agnico Eagle Mines LimitedROME (AP) — Robert Lewandowski joined Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the only players in history with 100 or more goals. But is on a faster pace than anyone by boosting his total to 46 goals at age 24 on Tuesday. Still, Haaland’s brace wasn’t enough for Manchester City in a 3-3 draw with Feyenoord that extended the Premier League champion’s winless streak to six matches. Lewandowski’s early penalty kick started Barcelona off to a 3-0 win over previously unbeaten Brest to move into second place in the new single-league format. The Poland striker added goal No. 101 in second-half stoppage time. Ronaldo leads the all-time scoring list with 140 goals and Messi is next with 129. But neither Ronaldo nor Messi plays in the Champions League anymore following moves to Saudi Arabia and the United States, respectively. “It’s a nice number,” Lewandowski said. “In the past I didn’t think I could score more than 100 goals in the Champions League. I’m in good company alongside Cristiano and Messi.” The 36-year-old Lewandowski required 125 matches to reach the century mark, two more than Messi (123) and 12 fewer than Ronaldo (137). Barcelona also got a second-half score from Dani Olmo. The top eight finishers in the standings advance directly to the round of 16 in March. Teams ranked ninth to 24th go into a knockout playoff round in February, while the bottom 12 teams are eliminated. Haaland converted a first-half penalty to eclipse Messi as the youngest player to reach 45 goals then scored City’s third after the break to raise his total to 46 goals in 44 games. Ilkay Gundogan had City’s second. But then Feyenoord struck back with goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko. Inter Milan beat Leipzig 1-0 with an own goal to move atop the standings with 13 points, one more than Barcelona and Liverpool, which faces Real Madrid on Wednesday. The Serie A champion is the only club that hasn’t conceded a goal. Bayern Munich beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 — the same score from the 2020 final between the two teams. PSG ended with 10 men and remained in the elimination zone. The French powerhouse has struggled in Europe after Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid. Kim Min-jae’s first-half header was enough for Bayern, especially after Ousmane Dembelé was sent off in the 56th with his second yellow. Atalanta moved within two points of the lead with a 6-1 win at Young Boys. Charles De Ketelaere scored two and assisted on three other goals for Atalanta. Also, Arsenal kept red-hot striker Viktor Gyokeres quiet in a 5-1 win over Sporting Lisbon; and Germany star Florian Wirtz scored two goals and was involved in two more as Bayer Leverkusen boosted its chances of finishing in the top eight with a 5-0 rout of Salzburg. AC Milan followed up its win at Real Madrid with a 3-2 victory at last-place Slovan Bratislava in an early match. Christian Pulisic put the seven-time champion ahead midway through the first half by finishing off a counterattack. Then Rafael Leao restored the Rossoneri’s advantage after Tigran Barseghyan had equalized for Bratislava and Tammy Abraham quickly added another. Nino Marcelli scored with a long-range strike in the 88th for Bratislava, which ended with 10 men. Bratislava has lost all five of its matches. Related Articles Argentina World Cup winner Julian Alvarez scored twice and Atletico Madrid routed Sparta Prague 6-0 in the other early game. Alvarez scored with a free kick 15 minutes in and Marcos Llorente added a long-range strike before the break. Alvarez finished off a counterattack early in the second half after being set up by substitute Antoine Griezmann, who then marked his 100th Champions League game by getting on the scoresheet himself. Angel Correa added a late brace for Atletico, which earned its biggest away win in Europe. Atletico beat Paris Saint-Germain in the previous round and extended its winning streak across all competitions to six matches.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales gave an update on tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders’s condition after the end of Sunday’s 30-27 loss to the Chiefs. Sanders had to leave the game after being flipped and landing on his head during the first half. Sanders was placed on a backboard and taken to a local hospital for further evaluation. Canales said at halftime that Sanders has a concussion and has movement in all his extremities. He told reporters after the game that Sanders also has a neck injury and that the tight end has been released from the hospital. Further updates will come during the week, but it’s a positive first update after a scary scene on Sunday.Revolutionary Single-Layer Film Eliminates Helmet Changes, Enhancing Driver Safety and Performance LAS VEGAS , Dec. 11, 2024 /CNW/ -- Racing Optics®, the global leader in high-performance tearoff visor film technology, proudly unveils its latest innovation: the Twilight Tearoff .

Bipartisan Lawmakers Aim To Break Up Health Care Giants With New Legislation

The Indian equity market on Monday is expected to react to the outcomes of state assembly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, alongside global triggers such as developments in the Russia-Ukraine war. The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance swept Maharashtra, registering much more seats than predicted by exit polls. NSE This result is likely to provide political stability, boosting investor sentiment—particularly in infrastructure, urban development, and manufacturing sectors aligned with BJP policies. Stability in Maharashtra could trigger a stock market rally, enhancing investor confidence due to the continuity of pro-business policies, especially after uncertainty from previous coalition shifts. Friday’s gains helped the market turn positive for the week, snapping a two-week losing streak and regaining half of the losses from the prior week. Notably, 34 of the 50 Nifty stocks recorded gains during the week. The Nifty posted its best single-day gain in over five months on November 22, rising nearly 2.4%. Buying at lower levels in blue-chip stocks fueled the rally, with several index heavyweights, including Reliance, posting significant gains. Adani Group stocks also saw a recovery, climbing up to 14% from recent lows. These healthy gains helped BSE-listed companies add ₹ 7 lakh crore in market capitalisation. On the corporate results front, the Q2FY25 earnings scorecard was weak overall, but excluding commodities, it reflected in-line earnings growth. Siddhartha Khemka of Motilal Oswal expects a recovery in corporate earnings moving forward. However, in the near term, Khemka anticipates continued market volatility driven by state election outcomes, FII activity, and global geopolitical concerns. Foreign institutions continued to remain net sellers in the cash market on Friday, while domestic institutions were net buyers. What do the Nifty50 charts suggest? The Nifty50 index ended the session with an impressive 2.39% gain at 23,907.25, marking a strong relief rally. This momentum carried the index to a weekly gain of 1.59%. A gap-up start for Nifty 50 and Nifty Bank cannot be ruled out. "In the daily timeframe, the Nifty formed a bullish engulfing pattern. Nifty has reclaimed the 10 DMA and 200 DMA, though still trailing the 20 DMA. On the hourly chart, the formation of an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern hints at a potential upside, projected to the 24,150–24,200 range. The support has now shifted higher to 23,600 levels. The short-term strategy has altered from ‘sell on the rise’ to ‘buy the dip’, signalling a bullish undertone," said Om Mehra, Technical Analyst, SAMCO Securities. As long as the market is trading above 200 day SMA or 23600/77500 the pullback formation is likely to continue, believes Amol Athawale of Kotak Securities. On the higher side, it could move up to 24000-24200/79400-79900 On the flip side, below 23600/77500 the sentiment could change. Below the same, he said that traders may prefer to exit out from the trading long positions. LKP Securities' Rupak De said the Nifty witnessed a strong recovery as the index moved back above the 200DMA, indicating an improving trend. Additionally, the Nifty has broken out of a few days of congestion on the daily timeframe. "The RSI has entered a bullish crossover near the oversold zone, suggesting positive momentum. The sentiment appears favorable for a meaningful rally in the short term, as long as the index stays above 23,600. Immediate resistance is seen at 23,960–24,000. A decisive move above 24,000 could trigger a rally toward 24,500. On the downside, supports are placed at 23,750 and 23,550," De said. What do the Nifty Bank charts suggests? Nifty Bank concluded the session at 51,135.40, with a gain of 1.51%. The index now holds above its 10-day moving average and is nearing a breakout above the 20-day moving average. For the Bank Nifty now, experts believe 50500 and 50300 would be key support zones while 20 day SMA or 51250 and 50 day SMA or 51850 could be the crucial resistance areas for the short-term traders. "A sustained move beyond this level could provide significant room for further upside. Additionally, Nifty Bank is approaching the average line of the daily RSI, which may enhance bullish momentum and strengthen the ongoing trend. The resistance remains at 51,800, while support has shifted upward to 50,700," Mehra said.

From a 10-year-old to a Muppet to a president-elect, NYSE bell-ringers range from famous to obscure

'He sounds like us': North Carolinians recall Jimmy Carter's intelligence, faith, humility

Empowered Funds LLC Boosts Stock Holdings in NN, Inc. (NASDAQ:NNBR)

Since then, business titans, political giants and global film stars have all been among those ringing the opening bell at the NYSE. Ronald Reagan rang the bell as president in 1985. Billionaire businessman and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr. have also rung the bell. The list even includes famous Muppets: Miss Piggy was once a bell ringer. President-elect Donald Trump joined that list Thursday when he opened trading at the famous stock exchange on Wall Street. He was accompanied by his wife, Melania, who interestingly enough received the honor before her husband. As first lady, she rang the bell in 2019 as part of her “Be Best” program. Bell-ringers are more commonly founders and executives chosen primarily from the exchange's more than 2,300 listed companies. Over the last few months, the guests have included executives from Alaska Air Group, Bath & Body Works, and Ally Financial. Stock trading around the location of the NYSE's current home has deep roots that trace back to the Dutch founding of New Amsterdam and when Wall Street had an actual wall. The NYSE traces its direct roots to the “Buttonwood Agreement” signed in 1792, which set rules for stock trading and commissions. The NYSE moved into its first permanent home in 1865. The first bell in use was actually a gong. The exchange moved into its current iconic building in 1903 and started using an electronically operated brass bell. That has evolved into synchronized bells in each of the NYSE’s four trading areas.Meet the 2024 State Journal/WiscNews Boys Volleyball All-Supernova teamThe NDIC has reassured depositors of the crashed Heritage Bank that their funds will be paid promptly The corporation also highlighted moves to clear payment delays months after the CBN revoked the bank's license It added that it has initiated the process of debt recovery and realisation of investments as well as physical assets PAY ATTENTION: Follow our WhatsApp channel to never miss out on the news that matters to you!

Hassan said: “The corporation has initiated the process of debt recovery and realisation of investments as well as physical assets of the defunct bank to ensure timely payment of uninsured deposits.” He further stated that the NDIC's obligations also include addressing the claims of creditors of the defunct bank, who will be compensated once all depositors have been fully paid.
