On the other side of the planet, Bret McCann, whose parents went missing and died in the 2010s, sat anxiously as the man convicted in their deaths pleaded for parole. “I wasn’t sure which way it was going to go, but I think they did the right thing,” he told CTV News during a videocall from Australia, where he lives. A parole board has denied Travis Vader day parole on Thursday, noting that his “community supervision history is very poor” and that his “risk to the public would be undue” at this point in his sentence. In 2017, Vader was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to life in prison for the deaths of Lyle and Marie McCann. The couple, who were in their 70s, disappeared in 2010 after leaving their St. Albert, Alta., home, a small community near Edmonton. Their burned-out motorhome and vehicle they were towing were found days later, west of the city, but their bodies were never found. It’s not known how the couple was killed. Following a lengthy and high-profile legal process, Vader was initially charged with first-degree murder, but a mistrial was declared, and the murder charges were stayed. Vader has never admitted to killing the McCanns and maintained his innocence during the hearing. The board also took that into consideration in its decision. “Vader has never acknowledged his guilt and as a part of that he’s never revealed what happened and what happened to my parents and what happened to their remains. And so that was the kind of message I was trying to get across,” said McCann. “’No body, no parole’ laws have been introduced in Australia as a way of trying to bring closure to the families of murder victims. The U.K. is considering such action as well,” he said in a statement released by the family to the parole board. “In our opinion, such a law should be implemented in Canada.” In 2019, Sturgeon River-Parkland MP Dane Lloyd introduced a private member’s bill called “McCann’s law” to lengthen sentences or block parole for convicted killers who don’t reveal what happened to their victims. It did not pass. “It’s a bill that I’m continuing to advocate for,” said Lloyd. “I’m running on it in the next election, and I have the support of my Conservative colleagues to pass this legislation when we hopefully form government after the next election.” Bret says he is hopeful the bill will pass. But for now, he will continue to attend future parole hearings. “At least we're now more familiar with the process and we can participate and have our say in the future.” Correction In an earlier version of this file, Bret McCann was erroneously reported as the victims’ grandson. He is their son. Shopping Trends The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News. We may earn a commission when you use our links to shop. Read about us.

Having the time to get to know mothers and their babies can be a rare gift for midwives but it is one those working at the Listowel postnatal hub in Kerry have in abundance. This is one of five networks of hubs or clinics connected to maternity hospitals around Ireland now offering postnatal care. Women attend them after giving birth for midwife-led care and support. The hubs were set up when a national maternity experience survey in 2019 revealed gaps in post-pregnancy care. Almost one in three women said they did not get mental health support after pregnancy and many also said their physical health was not checked. On walking into the Listowel hub the words 'bright' and 'calm' spring to mind with the rooms located within the recently-renovated community hospital. Rhowena Woodward is a staff midwife for the Kerry hubs. “You develop relationships with women here that I think sets them up for positive parenting and a positive future,” she said. “It just feels like you are making a difference to their lives and their babies’ lives. It’s great, you are not rushed off your feet. You are not stressed and you can be there in the moment.” The team of four midwives see about 12 women every day, with appointments of 30 minutes or longer if needed. “Our offices are in Centrepoint in Tralee, so we’re in Tralee two days a week,” she said. The rest of the week is split between Listowel, Killarney, Dingle, and Cahersiveen. They have close links with the maternity unit at University Hospital Kerry. “I think continuity of care is so important so here, every time you see the woman, you are not flicking through the notes to try and remind yourself (who she is),” she said. You already know her, you know her history, you know if you are going to be worried about her mental health and the social situations she is in. You know the medical history and what to look out for She previously worked with the NHS in England where postnatal care is usually available for up to 15 days. However, the Irish hubs offer up to six weeks of support. In Kerry, the hubs also offer antenatal care for pregnant women which is not common elsewhere. “Personally, as a midwife, continuity of care is a really big thing for me and these hubs mean that we can provide that care — we are less likely to miss things,” she said. “You’ve got that rapport with the woman so you’re more likely to pick up on things that might get missed in the hospital or that the woman might not trust you to disclose, if there’s domestic violence or mental health, anything like that.” They are also more likely to notice if infections including sepsis are developing after a caesarean section, she added. Women can get help too with incontinence, pelvic floor problems or mental health issues, including being referred for help if necessary. Concerns such as postnatal depression are often not apparent until weeks after pregnancy, she explained. “So there is a need for the postnatal care and the care we have here is exceptional,” she said. Overall she sees the hubs as “a step towards” the vision of community care set out in 2016 in the national maternity strategy. When she first moved here from the UK, she said it was a shock to see doctors taking the lead and midwives taking a back seat. "So it’s nice at our low-risk antenatal clinics where the midwife leads it. “And again we go to the doctors if we need them. And there is absolutely a need for them but it’s nice for the low-risk women as well to see midwives because that’s what they need at that stage.” 'A happy place to work' Susan Collins is a healthcare assistant with the hub, having recently transferred from hospital work. “It’s just a happy place to work I think,” she said. “I’ve been in the hospital since 2015 and this is the happiest I’ve been. I love getting up to go to my work in the morning.” She had popped in to say hello to baby Paddy Kennelly whose mother Roisin Considine was talking about her experiences in the hospital. “There’s a real sense that they know who you were and what stage of your pregnancy you were at, it’s reassuring,” the first-time mother said. Dr Cliona Murphy, national clinical director of the National Women and Infants Health Programme (NWHIP), said the hubs supplement existing community services. “They are women-centred, rather than hospital-centred and that is a really important aspect of it, I think,” she said. There are now five hub networks including also Cork, Kilkenny, Sligo, and Portiuncula. Each is connected to a local maternity hospital. “We have a good public health system, and you don’t want to supplant that, but women felt that is focused more on the baby rather than themselves,” she said. “So this is seen as supplemental, it is not usurping that service.” Research will be done to measure the impact of these hubs. “We have received funding to expand that (hub network) out, so there’s going to be four more hubs,” she said. “There have been expressions of interest from sites, and so the proposals will be made to NWHIP and four will be successful.” Those proposals will go before Angela Dunne, NWHIP lead midwife, and will be assessed by a panel. Dr Murphy added: “Even for those who will not be successful in this round, there is potential for the future I think.” So why only five so far in light of their success? Dr Murphy defended this saying planning, funding applications, and tweaking of those plans takes time. “This was not a top-down plan from NWHIP. Principles were agreed, but at local level, there was ownership of the local teams as to what would work best for them and how best to run it,” she said. The hubs are integrated into the wider maternity system including the peri-natal mental health service, GPs and public health nurses. On the ground, she agreed the sense of having time with women is crucial, saying "it gives a space for a woman to ask questions” of midwives about their birth experience. “I do see that maybe societally we have lost the village feel, and where you had your mother or grandmother around to ask those questions (we no longer do),” she said. This is a place where in a supportive environment you can discuss what’s normal or what is not without having to queue up necessarily She emphasised too the hubs are not necessarily only for women with low-risk pregnancies. A woman who had an emergency Caesarean-section could benefit from extra supports after leaving hospital too, she suggested. Recruitment has not been difficult. “The underlying ethos of being a midwife is to be 'with woman' so they are popular for people who’ve worked as midwives in hospitals and they’re moving into this space. They seem to be getting a lot of job satisfaction and positive feedback,” she said. She added in reference to the national staffing picture: “now going forward with the limits on recruiting, there may be some challenges”. Each hub is slightly different, she said with local midwives making choices about what will work best. “It's really about hearing back from women as to what would work,” she said. The mum For Roisin Considine, the biggest difference between the Listowel postnatal maternity hub and a busy hospital was everybody knew her name and was always glad she came. The hub, located in Listowel Community Hospital, is closely connected to the maternity unit at University Hospital Kerry. Women give birth in the hospital but are offered care afterwards here for up to six weeks. “You get the exact same care if not better here. You are one-to-one here, whereas in the hospital you might not get that,” she said. “There’s a lot more patients in at the one time there, but you see all the same midwives here all the time.” Experienced midwives see about 12 women every day with appointments of around 30 minutes although that can be flexible. “You were really looked after, everyone is very friendly and very nice,” she said. “Every time you come in they know you, it’s not that they are looking back through their notes to see who you are." As she talks, her baby — six-month-old Paddy Kennelly — grins around at the midwives as if he knows they helped his parents through those months. A passing healthcare assistant pops her head in when she hears he is in the room to say hello and get a big baby smile. Roisin describes how when she went for her booking appointment in Tralee last winter, they said antenatal care was also available in Listowel. This came as “a relief” as it cut out a big commute from their home in Ballybunion during those cold months. “It’s 15 minutes (to Listowel) compared to nearly 40 minutes — say about 35 to 40 minutes — to get to Tralee. It was a huge help definitely,” she said. “It was brilliant, no waiting time or anything. You are in and out in 20 minutes — you could be nearly two hours inside in Tralee if you are going in there. So it was fantastic to have.” She only went to the hospital for scans and Paddy’s birth. Listowel is one of a growing network of HSE hubs around the country, although some focus only on postnatal care. Roisin found the easy access to antenatal care just as useful as support after birth: “Especially when you are working, you don’t have to take so much time off.” The first-time mother added: "It was good to know there were people here closer if you had any questions. You knew who you were ringing if you had any concerns.” Help with breastfeeding for example is available. Even though she did face many complications as it turned out, she said it was “brilliant” to know the option was there. “There's a real sense that they know who you were and what stage of your pregnancy you were at, it’s reassuring,” she said. She joked the free parking was welcome as well. And with that, she had to hit the road because baby Paddy’s swimming coach was waiting for him.SHANGHAI, Dec. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — —the multi-award winning sequel to the global smash hit —is being celebrated as the winner of both the and the awards, leading all other mobile video games released on both platforms in the year 2024. , the global publishing brand of Lilith Games, is proud to reflect on the success of the free-to-play fantasy RPG following its launch on PC and mobile platforms earlier this year. “ ’s expansive roster of characters and satisfying tactical battle system made this fantasy RPG our Best Game of the year,” read Google Play’s statement. “Its vast explorable world and beautiful art style also helps it stand apart from its peers.” “Idle roleplaying game, tactical battler, and fantastical storyteller.

Customer engagement would have the largest market size during the forecast period, owing to the fact that this segment potentially might register high growth by enhancing and personalizing customer interactions. Enterprises are leveraging behavior analytics to develop rich insights into customer preferences, purchasing habits, and interaction patterns. It therefore allows business organizations to come up with highly targeted marketing strategies, to base most of their offerings on the needs of customers, and to improve the quality of service.

This feature enables businesses to identify deviations in behavior, which could signal a security risk or an opportunity to improve user experience by personalizing services. Advanced behavior analytics tools are equipped with real-time anomaly detection capabilities. They continuously monitor user actions, flagging unusual activity instantly. This allows businesses to respond to potential threats or inefficiencies as they occur, reducing the time to identify and mitigate issues. The integration of AI and machine learning is a defining feature of the behavior analytics market. These technologies enhance the platform's ability to learn from historical data, improve accuracy in identifying suspicious behavior, and adapt to evolving threats without manual intervention. Behavior analytics is increasingly being used in fraud detection, particularly in industries like banking, e-commerce, and insurance. By analyzing user behaviors and transactions in real-time, the system can spot fraudulent patterns, enabling quicker interventions and reducing financial losses. Major Highlights of the Behavior Analytics Market A key driver of the market is the growing demand for advanced security solutions to detect and prevent insider threats, fraud, and data breaches. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, organizations are turning to behavior analytics to identify unusual activities and mitigate risks proactively.

GRAND FORKS — Chris Logan won't return as the UND women's soccer coach next season. Logan’s contract won’t be renewed after it expires on Dec. 31, the school announced Monday. Logan signed a two-year contract extension in November 2022, after the Fighting Hawks won seven games and appeared in the Summit League tournament. But UND has won just one of 16 league games since (1-7-8). The Fighting Hawks were winless in conference play this season (0-4-4) and 4-8-6 overall. UND announced a national search for the next coach will begin immediately. Logan, who took over as head coach in December 2016, went 51-68-24 record in his eight seasons. UND was 21-41-12 in conference play during Logan’s tenure, making the Summit League tournament in 2019 and 2022. He was named the Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year in 2017 as a first-year head coach. Logan led the program in its transition from the Big Sky to the Summit League in the fall of 2018. Logan was the longest-tenured coach in program history. He replaced Matt Kellogg, who was at the helm for four seasons. Other UND head coaches were Kirsten Gay (five seasons), Brock Thompson (three), Tim Bennett (one), Matt Grandstrand (two), Angela Morrison (one) and Neil Sedgwick (two). During the season, members of the soccer team met with UND President Andy Armacost to voice concerns of equality, and sent an outline of concerns to UND’s Title IX office. "We, the members of the UND women's soccer team, are submitting this formal Title IX complaint to address ongoing gender inequities, as well as the systemic failure of the administration, to support and provide adequate resources to our team," said the letter, which the Herald obtained in October. "We have followed proper channels of communication for several years without significant action being taken to resolve these concerns. Our intention is to outline the key issues that have led to a discriminatory environment and ask for immediate corrective measures." The letter is critical of administrative support, unequal access to facilities at Ralph Engelstad Arena, the condition of Bronson Field, limited access to medical staff and "a general feeling of marginalization." UND spokesman David Dodds said Armacost met with players in early October. According to a UND player in attendance, six UND players met with Armacost in Twamley Hall on Oct. 4. Logan declined to discuss the letter or player concerns with the Herald in October, but referenced the complaint on social media Monday afternoon. “There is a formal investigation into this and I have been a part of the meetings,” Logan wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “I believe the Title IX complaint is pretty blatant, but the university has a President that will work this out for the betterment of the athletes.”

CBC resurrects plans for live New Year’s Eve broadcast specialsImpactful and transformative authors recognized at Canada PrizesThe ice sheet at TRIA Rink was slightly more crowded than in recent weeks on Thursday morning as the Minnesota Wild held their pregame skate in preparation for the Oilers first visit of the season. The two extra bodies on the ice represented some good news for a team that has made winning, despite significant injuries, its competing storylines this season. ADVERTISEMENT Specifically, veteran defenseman Jonas Brodin and top-line forward Mats Zuccarello were in full uniform, skating with their teammates for the first time in a long time. And while neither was expected back in the lineup just yet, having numbers 25 and 36 on the rink was a notably positive sight. “Really good just in the sense that they were able to skate, so we’ll do some extra work after practice and then probably skate again tomorrow and then we’ll see,” Wild coach John Hynes said. “I don’t have a timeline on them yet other than they’ve progressed well to get in the team setting. So, now we’ll see what they do. They’ll need some contact and some extra work and see how they respond.” Brodin has missed nine games this season, including the previous seven in a row, while dealing with an upper body injury. Zuccarello last played in a home win over Montreal on Nov. 14, when he was hit below the belt by a teammate’s shot and suffered a lower body injury that required surgery. Having both players back on the ice was a meaningful step for their teammates, as the Wild have persevered and gotten to the top of the Western Conference standings despite those losses, and the ongoing absence of center Joel Eriksson Ek. Brodin especially is a key player on the team’s blue line. ADVERTISEMENT “It’s exciting for everyone. He’s an important part of our team and such a factor every time he’s on the ice,” defenseman Declan Chisholm said. “He’s missed for sure and we’re excited to get him back soon.” Hynes added that during a player’s recovery from an injury, after they have begun working out and skating on their own, that first time stepping back onto the practice rink with teammates in full uniform can be a notable psychological boost. “It’s important because usually you go through that stage of the off-ice treatments and then recovery, weight room, skate on your own, and they’ve been skating together for a couple days,” the coach said. “But to get in the team setting where you’re with other guys on the ice, you’re back with the team, there’s a lot more going on, and you’re reading and reacting in certain situations, it’s a good step to get back in the team setting.” Eriksson Ek has not yet begun skating on his own as he recovers from a lower body injury suffered in overtime of a win versus Vancouver last week. ADVERTISEMENT Wild hosting holiday toy drives Hockey fans in the holiday spirit of helping those in need will have two opportunities to contribute to toy drives organized by the Wild in advance of Christmas. Prior to the Saturday, Dec. 14 game versus Philadelphia and the Friday, Dec. 20 game versus Utah, fans coming to Xcel Energy Center may bring new, unwrapped toys, games and cash which will be collected at the arena’s entrances. Personnel from the Salvation Army will distribute the donated items to needy families in the Twin Cities. ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.

By Lisa Baertlein and Eric Beech LOS ANGELES/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday appeared to back the anti-automation stance of some 45,000 union dockworkers on the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts, whose labor talks are at an impasse over that polarizing issue. The ILA and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) employer group are facing a Jan. 15 deadline to finalize talks, which stalled over cargo-handling automation. That deadline comes just five days before Trump's inauguration. The ILA says automation kills jobs while employers say it is necessary to keep U.S. ports competitive in a rapidly changing global economy. "The amount of money saved is nowhere near the distress, hurt, and harm it causes for American Workers, in this case, our Longshoremen," Trump said of automation projects in a post on Truth Social. That message followed a meeting with Harold Daggett, who leads the International Longshoremen's Association union that represents the port workers, Trump said. The two sides agreed to end a three-day strike on Oct. 3 after the union won a 62% wage hike over six years with significant involvement by the White House and other officials from President Joe Biden's administration. Employers, which include the U.S. operations of Switzerland's Mediterranean Shipping Company, Denmark's Maersk and China's COSCO Shipping, have been booking record profits in part due to access to U.S. markets, Trump said on Thursday. "I'd rather these foreign companies spend it on the great men and women on our docks, than machinery, which is expensive, and which will constantly have to be replaced," Trump said of the industry's profit. "It's clear President-elect Trump, USMX, and the ILA all share the goal of protecting and adding good-paying American jobs at our ports," USMX said in a statement. "We need modern technology that is proven to improve worker safety, boost port efficiency, increase port capacity, and strengthen our supply chains," the employers said, adding that dockworkers make more money when seaports move more goods.

Airports and highways are expected to be jam-packed during Thanksgiving week, a holiday period likely to end with another record day for air travel in the United States. AAA predicts that nearly 80 million Americans will venture at least 50 miles from home between Tuesday and next Monday, most of them by car. However, travelers could be impacted by ongoing weather challenges and those flying to their destinations could be grounded by delays brought on by airline staffing shortages and an airport service workers strike . Here's the latest: In an apparent effort to reduce the headaches caused by airport line cutting, American Airlines has rolled out boarding technology that alerts gate agents with an audible sound if a passenger tries to scan a ticket ahead of their assigned group. This new software won’t accept a boarding pass before the group it’s assigned to is called, so customers who get to the gate prematurely will be asked to go back and wait their turn. As of Wednesday, the airline announced, the technology is now being used in more than 100 U.S. airports that American flies out of. The official expansion arrives after successful tests in three of these locations — Albuquerque International Sunport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Tucson International Airport. ▶ Read more about American Airlines’ new boarding technology Travel can be stressful in the best of times. Now add in the high-level anxiety that seems to be baked into every holiday season and it’s clear travelers could use some help calming frazzled nerves. Here are a few ways to make your holiday journey a little less stressful: 1. Make a checklist of what you need to do and what you need to bring 2. Carry your comfort with you — think noise-canceling headphones, cozy clothes, snacks and extra medication 3. Stay hydrated 4. Keep up to date on delays, gate changes and cancellations with your airline’s app ▶ Read more tips about staying grounded during holiday travel Thanksgiving Day takes place late this year, with the fourth Thursday of November falling on Nov. 28. That shortens the traditional shopping season and changes the rhythm of holiday travel. With more time before the holiday , people tend to spread out their outbound travel over more days, but everyone returns at the same time, said Andrew Watterson, the chief operating officer of Southwest Airlines . “A late Thanksgiving leads to a big crush at the end,” Watterson said. “The Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday after Thanksgiving are usually very busy with Thanksgiving this late.” Airlines did a relatively good job of handling holiday crowds last year, when the weather was mild in most of the country. Fewer than 400 U.S. flights were canceled during Thanksgiving week in 2023 — about one out of every 450 flights. So far in 2024, airlines have canceled about 1.3% of all flights. Drivers should know that Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons will be the worst times to travel by car, but it should be smooth sailing on freeways come Thanksgiving Day, according to transportation analytics company INRIX. On the return home, the best travel times for motorists are before 1 p.m. on Sunday, and before 8 a.m. or after 7 p.m. on Monday, the company said. In metropolitan areas like Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle and Washington, “traffic is expected to be more than double what it typically is on a normal day,” INRIX transportation analyst Bob Pishue said. Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Mike Whitaker said last week that he expects his agency to use special measures at some facilities to deal with an ongoing shortage of air traffic controllers. In the past, those facilities have included airports in New York City and Florida. “If we are short on staff, we will slow traffic as needed to keep the system safe,” Whitaker said. The FAA has long struggled with a shortage of controllers that airline officials expect will last for years, despite the agency’s lofty hiring goals. 5. Auto club and insurance company AAA predicts that nearly 80 million Americans will venture at least 50 miles from home between Tuesday and next Monday. Most of them will travel by car. 6. Drivers should get a slight break on gas prices . The nationwide average price for gasoline was $3.06 a gallon on Sunday, down from $3.27 at this time last year. 7. The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen 18.3 million people at U.S. airports during the same seven-day stretch. That would be 6% more than during the corresponding days last year but fit a pattern set throughout 2024. 8. The TSA predicts that 3 million people will pass through airport security checkpoints on Sunday; more than that could break the record of 3.01 million set on the Sunday after the July Fourth holiday. Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be the next busiest air travel days of Thanksgiving week. ▶ Read more about Thanksgiving travel across the U.S. Workers who clean airplanes, remove trash and help with wheelchairs at Charlotte’s airport, one of the nation’s busiest, went on strike Monday to demand higher wages. The Service Employees International Union announced the strike in a statement early Monday, saying the workers would demand “an end to poverty wages and respect on the job during the holiday travel season.” The strike was expected to last 24 hours, said union spokesperson Sean Keady. Employees of ABM and Prospect Airport Services cast ballots Friday to authorize the work stoppage at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, a hub for American Airlines. The two companies contract with American, one of the world’s biggest carriers, to provide services such as cleaning airplane interiors, removing trash and escorting passengers in wheelchairs. ▶ Read more about the Charlotte airport workers’ strike Parts of the Midwest and East Coast can expect to see heavy rain into Thanksgiving, and there’s potential for snow in Northeastern states. A storm last week brought rain to New York and New Jersey, where wildfires have raged in recent weeks, and heavy snow to northeastern Pennsylvania. The precipitation was expected to help ease drought conditions after an exceptionally dry fall. Heavy snow fell in northeastern Pennsylvania, including the Pocono Mountains. Higher elevations reported up to 17 inches (43 centimeters), with lesser accumulations in valley cities including Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. Around 35,000 customers in 10 counties were still without power, down from 80,000 a day ago. In the Catskills region of New York, nearly 10,000 people remained without power Sunday morning, two days after a storm dumped heavy snow on parts of the region. Precipitation in West Virginia helped put a dent in the state’s worst drought in at least two decades and boosted ski resorts as they prepare to open in the weeks ahead. ▶ Read more about Thanksgiving week weather forecasts Two people died in the Pacific Northwest after a rapidly intensifying “ bomb cyclone ” hit the West Coast last Tuesday, bringing fierce winds that toppled trees and power lines and damaged homes and cars. Hundreds of thousands lost electricity in Washington state before powerful gusts and record rains moved into Northern California. Forecasters said the risk of flooding and mudslides remained as the region will get more rain starting Sunday. But the latest storm won’t be as intense as last week’s atmospheric river , a long plume of moisture that forms over an ocean and flows over land. “However, there’s still threats, smaller threats, and not as significant in terms of magnitude, that are still going to exist across the West Coast for the next two or three days,” weather service forecaster Rich Otto said. As the rain moves east throughout the week, Otto said, there’s a potential for heavy snowfall at higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada, as well as portions of Utah and Colorado. California’s Mammoth Mountain, which received 2 feet (0.6 meters) of fresh snow in the recent storm, could get another 4 feet (1.2 meters) before the newest system clears out Wednesday, the resort said. Another round of wintry weather could complicate travel leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday, according to forecasts across the U.S., while California and Washington state continue to recover from storm damage and power outages. In California, where two people were found dead in floodwaters on Saturday, authorities braced for more rain while grappling with flooding and small landslides from a previous storm . Here’s a look at some of the regional forecasts: 9. Sierra Nevada: The National Weather Service office issued a winter storm warning through Tuesday, with heavy snow expected at higher elevations and wind gusts potentially reaching 55 mph (88 kph). Total snowfall of roughly 4 feet (1.2 meters) was forecast, with the heaviest accumulations expected Monday and Tuesday. 10. Midwest and Great Lakes: The Midwest and Great Lakes regions will see rain and snow Monday and the East Coast will be the most impacted on Thanksgiving and Black Friday, forecasters said. 11. East Coast: A low pressure system is forecast to bring rain to the Southeast early Thursday before heading to the Northeast. Areas from Boston to New York could see rain and breezy conditions, with snowfall possible in parts of northern New Hampshire, northern Maine and the Adirondacks. If the system tracks further inland, there could be less snow and more rain in the mountains, forecasters said. ▶ Read more about Thanksgiving week weather forecastsHow long do FBI directors normally serve?

Vodafone Qatar launchesbrovi 5G Mobile WiFi Pro 5TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — A U.S. senator has called for mysterious drones spotted flying at night over sensitive areas in New Jersey and other parts of the Mid-Atlantic region to be “shot down, if necessary,” even as it remains unclear who owns the unmanned aircraft. “We should be doing some very urgent intelligence analysis and take them out of the skies, especially if they’re flying over airports or military bases,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said Thursday, as concerns about the drones spread across Capitol Hill. People in the New York region are also concerned that the drones may be sharing airspace with commercial airlines, he said, demanding more transparency from the Biden administration. The White House said Thursday that a review of the reported sightings shows that many of them are actually manned aircraft being flown lawfully. White House National Security spokesman John Kirby said there were no reported sightings in any restricted airspace. He said the U.S. Coast Guard has not uncovered any foreign involvement from coastal vessels. “We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat, or have a foreign nexus,” Kirby said, echoing statements from the Pentagon and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy. Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh has said they are not U.S. military drones. In a joint statement issued Thursday afternoon, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security said they and their federal partners, in close coordination with the New Jersey State Police, “continue to deploy personnel and technology to investigate this situation and confirm whether the reported drone flights are actually drones or are instead manned aircraft or otherwise inaccurate sightings.” The agencies said they have not corroborated any of the reported sightings with electronic detection, and that reviews of available images appear to show many of the reported drones are actually manned aircraft. “There are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted air space,” according to the statement. The drones appear to avoid detection by traditional methods such as helicopter and radio, according to a state lawmaker briefed Wednesday by the Department of Homeland Security. The number of sightings has increased in recent days, though officials say many of the objects seen may have been planes rather than drones. It’s also possible that a single drone has been reported more than once. The worry stems partly from the flying objects initially being spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military research and manufacturing facility, and over President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. In a post on the social media platform X, Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia described the drones as up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) in diameter and sometimes traveling with their lights switched off. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use but are subject to local and Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions. Operators must be FAA certified. Most, but not all, of the drones spotted in New Jersey appeared to be larger than those typically used by hobbyists. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey said he was frustrated by the lack of transparency, saying it could help spread fear and misinformation. “We should know what’s going on over our skies,” he said Thursday. John Duesler, president of the Pennsylvania Drone Association, said witnesses may be confused about what they are seeing, especially in the dark, and noted it’s hard to know the size of the drones or how close they might be. “There are certainly big drones, such as agricultural drones, but typically they are not the type you see flying around in urban or suburban spaces,” Duesler said Thursday. Duesler said the drones — and those flying them — likely cannot evade detection. “They will leave a radio frequency footprint, they all leave a signature," he said. "We will find out what kind of drones they were, who was flying them and where they were flying them.” Fantasia, a Morris County Republican, was among several lawmakers who met with state police and Homeland Security officials to discuss the sightings from the New York City area across New Jersey and westward into parts of Pennsylvania, including over Philadelphia. It is unknown at this time whether the sightings are related. Duesler said the public wants to know what's going on. “I hope (the government agencies) will come out with more information about this to ease our fears. But this could just be the acts of rogue drone operators, it’s not an ‘invasion’ as some reports have called it,” Duesler said. “I am concerned about this it but not alarmed by it.” Associated Press reporters Mark Scolforo in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and reporter Darlene Superville and videojournalists Serkan Gurbuz and Nathan Ellgren in Washington, D.C., contributed to this report.LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 16, 2024-- EVgo Inc.

New research presented this month by the Max Planck Institute for Solar Research in Göttingen, Germany, explained how stars similar to our Sun produce gigantic outbursts of radiation about once every hundred years or so. Such superflares release more energy than a trillion hydrogen bombs and make all previously recorded solar flares pale in comparison. If this is true, it just might form the basis of the so-called Miyake event, a strange sudden increase in the radioactivity of living organisms due to ingestion of the isotope carbon-14. This announcement by the German researchers was based on reviewing a collection of 56,450 Milky Way stars and indicates previous studies have underestimated the eruptive behavior of stars the size of our Sun. Using data collected since 2009 from NASA’s orbiting Kepler telescope, the team found similar stars superflaring 10 to 100 times more frequently than originally thought. These findings are a little scary when you think of it, as it seems we are living in a quiet period right now. But can a destructive "black swan" event be somewhere in the not-too-distant future? Shedding some light on this the so-called Miyake event. In 2012 young Japanese doctoral student Fusa Miyake was studying the rings of Japanese cedar tree stumps that once grew on the island of Yakushima, a World Heritage Site. Using the technique called dendrochronology she recorded the patterns in tree ring widths that reflect the climate as the tree grew. They were noticeably larger when yearly temperatures were higher — as one would expect with more sunshine. To accurately place the rings in time required using the radioactive carbon dating technique in which the amount of carbon-14 left in a sample is examined. By knowing the half-life to be 5,730 years, the approximate year that the ring ceased growing is easily calculated. All went well until she measured the carbon-14 isotope content of the ring corresponding to the year 775 AD, which indicated an enormous jump in the count. Something in that year made the tree ring more radioactive. Miyake published these finding in the periodical Nature and the world took note. Other researchers, using ice core samples from the Arctic found the level on beryllium-10, also shot up in the year 775, corroborating Miyake’s discovery. Now, Be-10 is formed in the Earth's atmosphere mainly by cosmic ray spallation of nitrogen and oxygen and it has a recorded half-life of 1.39 million years after which it mutates into boron. By finding the ratio of boron to beryllium, one can tell how far back the beryllium was formed — a lot of boron percentage points to a long time ago and scientists say the rate of production of beryllium-10 depends solely on the activity of the sun. Some wild event happened to cause both occurrences to occur in the same year at different locations on Earth. The event appears to have been global, with the same carbon-14 signal found in tree rings from Germany, Russia, the United States, Finland and New Zealand. You would think such a large disturbance would show up in some kind of ancient documents, but unfortunately the only reference one can point to for that year is what scholars call the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Written as a journal of the times, the annotation for January 12, 775, describes the observation of a "a red crucifix, after sunset," possibly a reference to a large aurora borealis display. Such auroras are known to result from solar activity. Despite the fact daily newspapers were still a thousand years in the future, one can conclude, even with such minuscule reporting, the event of 775 had no significant consequences for life on Earth. But, had such an even happened in modern times, it might have produced catastrophic damage to our modern technology as we know it, particularly to communication and space-borne navigation systems. Weekly Puzzle: What value of x satisfies the following equation: 15x – x ^(2x) = 14. The “^” symbol means “raised to the power of.” Puzzle solution: 4 sin 30 degrees Have there been any large outbursts of energy from the sun in modern history? A "Miyake event" is considered significantly more powerful than a "Carrington event," but it seems they originate from the same source — our Sun — and there is not much we can do about it except record the data. The Carrington Event happened in 1859 and is considered the largest geomagnetic storm in history. When it occurred, there were reports of telegraph operators around the world getting shocked from their instruments as the long wires picked up copious amounts of incoming charged particles piercing our atmosphere. While this event was astonishing, it was not as large a storm as the Miyake event because it did not produce a burst of radiation great enough to make the tree rings excessively radioactive. The Carrington event, though still a major solar storm, shows only a small spike in comparison. The Miyake event is therefore considered to be a much more extreme and destructive solar storm than a Carrington event. By keeping a watch on thousands of stars at the same time, ones that are similar to our own Sun, the researchers at the Max Planck Institute have found a way to predict the Sun's long-term behavior. “We were very surprised that sun-like stars are prone to such frequent superflares,” said first author Professor Valeriy Vasilyev. "While we cannot observe the Sun over thousands of years, we can monitor the behavior of thousands of stars over short periods of time. This helps us to estimate how frequently superflares occur."
