Translation Website by Student and Teacher Expands to Other StatesI'm A Celebrity fans are certain Ant McPartlin 'dislikes' a campmate. During tonight's episode of the jungle contest on , presenters Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly delivered the latest updates from camp. Today saw Dean face the new Lethal Lab trial in an attempt to win stars after two failed efforts. The first time he called it quits with the famous phrase "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!", while in his second attempt, both he and GK Barry returned starless. Viewers now suggest that Ant has taken a dim view of Dean, having noticed a tell-tale sign. Social media was buzzing as one viewer tweeted: "Ant cant stand Dean #ImACeleb," and another observed: "Ant shouldn't play poker. His face is saying what we all feel #ImACeleb," reports . Another said: "Ant can't even remotely hide his disdain for Dean #imaceleb," as a fourth penned: "Anyone feel like Ant and Dec don't like Dean? Especially Ant #ImACelebrity #ImACeleb." A fifth added: "I'm done with Dean. Even Ant and Dec are beyond done with him. Never seen them this disappointed in a contestant before." The speculation didn't end there, with fans continuing to share their thoughts online. One wrote: "Ant said on Extra Jungle last night the amount of work that goes into the trials and then for Dean not to even make an effort #imaceleb." During the trial today, Dean confessed it "wasn't looking good" as he faced his challenge. He initially succeeded in combining two liquids to trigger a chemical reaction, earning two stars for the camp with ease. He then progressed to the containment areas, where he was tasked with collecting stars using only his mouth, all while being accompanied by cockroaches, crickets and mealworms, giant lizards, snakes and spiders. He secured 2 stars for the camp in the first and third areas, before uttering the notorious phrase I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here in the fifth containment. Following the trial, Ant and Dec appeared live, expressing their frustration over Dean not completing the trial. They explained that if he had just allowed them to inform him about the fish guts, he wouldn't have panicked. Both Ant and Dec appeared exasperated as they described how Dean had tackled the spiders and snakes, but invoked the famous phrase during the fish guts segment because he didn't know what was on his head.RJ Johnson, Daylen Berry lift Charleston Southern to surprising 83-79 victory over Miami

A spelling error on a police report resulted in a man being convicted of a third DWI twice in less than a month – once in the 11th Judicial District Court and once in San Juan County Magistrate Court. District Judge Curtis Gurley accepted a Sept. 9 plea agreement from Rolando Benally, 43, of Rock Point, Arizona, who admitted to a third offense of DWI and was sentenced Sept. 19 to 364 days of probation. Benally was arrested again on Oct. 31 for DWI. The arresting officer reportedly entered his name as Rolondo Benally, which resulted in a records mix-up, according to Senior Trial Prosecutor Will Robinson. The same Benally was charged with a third DWI for a second time, and pleaded guilty to the charge, which is a misdemeanor, in San Juan County Magistrate Court. “He has six or seven arrests for DWI, how is it still a misdemeanor?” Gurley asked during a Nov. 25 hearing. “There is a new case, where he somehow pled to a misdemeanor, where he has already been convicted,” Gurley said. “I don’t understand what is going on.” The first case was a charge from June 14, when Benally was picked up at 10:47 p.m. near West Bloomfield Boulevard and Ruth Lane in Bloomfield. He was driving a black Dodge Challenger and failed to obey the traffic signals, according to the statement of probable cause. The arresting officer stated Benally’s speech was slurred and his eyes were “bloodshot” and “watery” and there was a “strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his vehicle,” court records state. He failed a field sobriety test and had a blood alcohol count of .20 upon arrest. He was charged with a fourth DWI, which was pleaded down to a third, according to court records. This case was sent to District Court, and Gurley accepted the plea agreement. After being sentenced to probation, Benally violated his conditions of release by driving drunk again on Oct. 31. He was stopped at 10:07 a.m. driving a black Dodge Challenger in the area of County Roads 5500 and 5467. The arresting officer noted he was able to “smell a strong alcoholic beverage coming from the driver’s side window,” according to the statement of probable cause. Benally failed the field sobriety test and had a blood-alcohol level of 0.24. Benally was allowed to enter a guilty plea in Magistrate Court, again admitting to a third DWI, a misdemeanor, that should have been a felony. He was sentenced to three years of supervised probation, according to court records. Robinson told Judge Gurley that “a problem in the system created the mischarge.” “Your honor I noticed this discrepancy earlier,” Robinson said. “There is a spelling problem with his name.” Gurley pointed out it is important to make corrections when officers misspell names and maintain records by the Social Security Number and birth date. Gurley ruled that Benally violated his probation in the June case and ordered he be held in the San Juan County Detention Center. He also asked Robinson to “file something, so the file is clean.” A status hearing for Benally was set at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 9 in Gurley’s courtroom in Aztec.

R-Home executives held for duping 200 flat buyersThe Commerce Department 's efforts to curb China 's and Russia's access to American-made advanced computer chips have been “inadequate” and will need more funding to stymie their ability to manufacture advanced weapons, according to a report published Wednesday by the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. The Biden administration imposed export controls to limit the ability of China and Russia ability to access U.S.-made chips after Russia's invasion of Ukraine nearly three years ago. The agency's Bureau of Industry and Security, according to the report, does not have the resources to enforce export controls and has been too reliant on U.S. chip makers voluntarily complying with the rules. But the push for bolstering Commerce's export control enforcement comes as the incoming Trump administration says it is looking to dramatically reduce the size and scope of federal government. President-elect Donald Trump has tapped entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a new “Department of Government Efficiency” to dismantle parts of the federal government. The Trump transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report. BIS’s budget, about $191 million, has remained essentially flat since 2010 when adjusted for inflation. “While BIS’ budget has been stagnant for a decade, the bureau works diligently around the clock to meet its mission and safeguard U.S. national security,” Commerce Department spokesperson Charlie Andrews said in a statement in response to the report. Andrews added that with “necessary resources from Congress” the agency would be "better equipped to address the challenges that come with our evolving national security environment.” In a letter to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo on Wednesday, Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, chair of the subcommittee, pointed to an audit of Texas Instruments that showed the Russian military continued to acquire components from Texas Instruments through front companies in Hong Kong to illustrate how the export controls are failing as an effective tool. The committee's findings, Blumenthal said, suggest that Texas Instruments “missed clear warning signs” that three companies in its distribution chain had been diverting products to Russia. Texas Instruments did not immediately respond to a request for comment. “While Congress must provide BIS more resources to undertake its critical mission, it is long past time for BIS to make full use of the enforcement powers Congress has conferred upon it and take aggressive steps to cut the flow of U.S. semiconductors into the Russian war machine,” Blumenthal wrote. It's not just Texas Instruments that's the issue. The subcommittee in September published a report that found aggregated exports from four major U.S. advanced chip manufacturers nearly doubled from 2021 to 2022 to Armenia and Georgia. Both of those countries are home to front companies known to assist Russia in acquiring advanced chips made in the U.S. despite export controls. China, meanwhile, has created “vast, barely disguised smuggling networks which enable it to continue to harness U.S. technology,” the subcommittee report asserts. Washington has been gradually expanding the number of companies affected by such export controls in China, as President Joe Biden’s administration has encouraged an expansion of investments in and manufacturing of chips in the U.S. But Chinese companies have found ways to evade export controls in part because of a lack of China subject matter experts and Chinese speakers assigned to Commerce's export control enforcement. The agency's current budget limits the number of international end-use checks, or physical verification overseas of distributors or companies receiving American-made chips that are the supposed end users of products. Currently, Commerce has only 11 export control officers spread around the globe to conduct such checks. The committee made several recommendations in its report, including Congress allocating more money for hiring additional personnel to enforce export controls, imposing larger fines on companies that violate controls and requiring periodic reviews of advanced chip companies’ export control plans by outside entities. ___ Boak reported from West Palm Beach, Florida.How Israel Uses AI in Gaza—And What It Might Mean for the Future of Warfare

Hyderabad: Soon after the Congress government withdrew the notification for acquiring land for establishing a pharma village in Lagcherla village in Kodangal constituency, chief minister A Revanth Reddy announced that the government would establish an industrial area there. Addressing a public meeting held in Mahabubnagar on Saturday, November 30, the concluding day’s ceremony of the three-day “Farmers’ Festival” being held as part of “Praja Palana Vajrotsavalu”, CM Revanth assured farmers that the state government would offer Rs 20 lakh instead of Rs 10 lakh for land acquired to set up the industrial area. He also said that the move would generate 25,000 jobs, benefitting families whose land was used to set up the industrial area. He spoke about the recent incident Lagcherla protest where government officials including the district collector were attacked after several agitating farmers opposed the coming up of Pharma City, an industrial area project, citing it would take away their lands and threaten their livelihoods. CM Revanth blamed leaders of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) for inciting the attack on government officials. “Will the history have mercy on me if I give away your land to someone else? Will history pardon me if I am unable to bring industries into this region and create employment as a chief minister?” he asked. Recalling the tragic case of Malla Reddy, a farmer who set himself ablaze after his land was taken away for the construction of Mallanna Sagar reservoir in Vemulghat village during the BRS rule, CM Revanth dared Siddipet BRS MLA T Harish Rao to visit the deceased farmer’s house. He also dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) to debate and prove if there was any other state in the country that waived off farm loans amounting to Rs 21,000 crore for 25 lakh farmers within a year. He said that he was willing to debate the farm loan waiver being implemented by the Congress government on the floor of the Assembly in the upcoming Winter Session. “I never served as a minister in any government in power, but you made me the CM. It is a great opportunity for us which has come 70 years after Burgula Ramakrishna Rao was made the first chief minister of the state representing the Palamuru region,” Revanth said. He urged the ministers who were present on the dais to release Rs 20,000 crore for the Palamuru region in one year through the green channel so that pending projects could be completed and the region could be put on the path of prosperity. He said that Rs 1,83,000 crore spent on irrigation projects during the BRS government, among which Rs 1,00,002 crore was spent on Kalwakurthy Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS) alone. Revanth Reddy alleged that of the ₹11,000 crore farm loan waiver implemented by the BRS during its previous term, only ₹2,500 crore accounted for the principal amount, while ₹8,596 crore was merely deducted as interest on the loans. He argued that if the BRS government had waived ₹1 lakh per farmer in the first year of its tenure, it could have fully covered the principal amounts of all farmers’ loans. “In the first five years of the BRS rule, the loan waiver implemented was not even enough to cover the interest. Just before the end of its second term, they sold away the Outer Ring Road toll and tried to implement the loan waiver. That was also left undone,” he said. CM Revanth declared that implementing Rs 2 lakh farm loan waiver and providing free electricity to farmers was the patent of the Congress. The chief minister inspected around 150 stalls that were set up to educate farmers about the latest technologies and other information during the three-day farmers’ festival. He released cheques worth Rs 2,747.67 crore to waive off the loans of 3,13,897 farmers whose crop loans haven’t been waived yet, during the farmers’ festival. He also laid foundations and inaugurated various developmental works at a cost of Rs 1,143.53 crore on the occasion.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Formula 1 on Monday at last said it will expand its grid in 2026 to make room for an American team that is partnered with General Motors. “As the pinnacle of motorsports, F1 demands boundary-pushing innovation and excellence. It’s an honor for General Motors and Cadillac to join the world’s premier racing series, and we’re committed to competing with passion and integrity to elevate the sport for race fans around the world," GM President Mark Reuss said. "This is a global stage for us to demonstrate GM’s engineering expertise and technology leadership at an entirely new level.” The approval ends years of wrangling that launched a U.S. Justice Department investigation into why Colorado-based Liberty Media, the commercial rights holder of F1, would not approve the team initially started by Michael Andretti. Andretti in September stepped aside from leading his namesake organization, so the 11th team will be called Cadillac F1 and be run by new Andretti Global majority owners Dan Towriss and Mark Walter. The team will use Ferrari engines its first two years until GM has a Cadillac engine built for competition in time for the 2028 season. Towriss is the the CEO and president of Group 1001 and entered motorsports via Andretti's IndyCar team when he signed on financial savings platform Gainbridge as a sponsor. Towriss is now a major part of the motorsports scene with ownership stakes in both Spire Motorsports' NASCAR team and Wayne Taylor Racing's sports car team. Walter is the chief executive of financial services firm Guggenheim Partners and the controlling owner of both the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers and Premier League club Chelsea. “We’re excited to partner with General Motors in bringing a dynamic presence to Formula 1," Towriss said. “Together, we’re assembling a world-class team that will embody American innovation and deliver unforgettable moments to race fans around the world.” Mario Andretti, the 1978 F1 world champion, will have an ambassador role with Cadillac F1. But his son, Michael, will have no official position with the organization now that he has scaled back his involvement with Andretti Global. “The Cadillac F1 Team is made up of a strong group of people that have worked tirelessly to build an American works team,” Michael Andretti posted on social media. “I’m very proud of the hard work they have put in and congratulate all involved on this momentous next step. I will be cheering for you!” The approval has been in works for weeks but was held until after last weekend's Las Vegas Grand Prix to not overshadow the showcase event of the Liberty Media portfolio. Max Verstappen won his fourth consecutive championship in Saturday night's race, the third and final stop in the United States for the top motorsports series in the world. Grid expansion in F1 is both infrequent and often unsuccessful. Four teams were granted entries in 2010 that should have pushed the grid to 13 teams and 26 cars for the first time since 1995. One team never made it to the grid and the other three had vanished by 2017. There is only one American team on the current F1 grid — owned by California businessman Gene Haas — but it is not particularly competitive and does not field American drivers. Andretti’s dream was to field a truly American team with American drivers. The fight to add this team has been going on for three-plus years and F1 initially denied the application despite approval from F1 sanctioning body FIA . The existing 10 teams, who have no voice in the matter, also largely opposed expansion because of the dilution in prize money and the billions of dollars they’ve already invested in the series. Andretti in 2020 tried and failed to buy the existing Sauber team. From there, he applied for grid expansion and partnered with GM, the top-selling manufacturer in the United States. The inclusion of GM was championed by the FIA and president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, who said Michael Andretti’s application was the only one of seven applicants to meet all required criteria to expand F1’s current grid. “General Motors is a huge global brand and powerhouse in the OEM world and is working with impressive partners," Ben Sulayem said Monday. "I am fully supportive of the efforts made by the FIA, Formula 1, GM and the team to maintain dialogue and work towards this outcome of an agreement in principle to progress this application." Despite the FIA's acceptance of Andretti and General Motors from the start, F1 wasn't interested in Andretti — but did want GM. At one point, F1 asked GM to find another team to partner with besides Andretti. GM refused and F1 said it would revisit the Andretti application if and when Cadillac had an engine ready to compete. “Formula 1 has maintained a dialogue with General Motors, and its partners at TWG Global, regarding the viability of an entry following the commercial assessment and decision made by Formula 1 in January 2024,” F1 said in a statement. “Over the course of this year, they have achieved operational milestones and made clear their commitment to brand the 11th team GM/Cadillac, and that GM will enter as an engine supplier at a later time. Formula 1 is therefore pleased to move forward with this application process." Yet another major shift in the debate over grid expansion occurred earlier this month with the announced resignation of Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei, who was largely believed to be one of the biggest opponents of the Andretti entry. “With Formula 1’s continued growth plans in the US, we have always believed that welcoming an impressive US brand like GM/Cadillac to the grid and GM as a future power unit supplier could bring additional value and interest to the sport," Maffei said. "We credit the leadership of General Motors and their partners with significant progress in their readiness to enter Formula 1."

Key Automotive Gears Market Trend 2024-2033: High-Precision PrototypingNo secrets as Bucs visit Dave Canales, Panthers for NFC South showdownOpenAI is allowing employees to sell roughly $1.5 billion worth of shares in a new tender offer to SoftBank, CNBC has learned. SoftBank's latest investment adds to OpenAI's recent $6.6 billion funding round at a $157 billion valuation. The deal was spurred by SoftBank billionaire founder and CEO Masayoshi Son, who was persistent in asking for a larger stake in the company, a person familiar with the matter said. OpenAI is allowing employees to sell roughly $1.5 billion worth of shares in a new tender offer to SoftBank, CNBC has learned. 24/7 San Diego news stream: Watch NBC 7 free wherever you are The new financing will allow the Japanese tech conglomerate to get an even larger slice of the AI startup, and it will allow current and former OpenAI employees to cash out their shares, two people familiar with the matter told CNBC. Employees will have until Dec. 24 to decide if they want to participate in the new tender offer, which has not previously been reported, one of the people said. The deal was spurred by SoftBank billionaire founder and CEO Masayoshi Son, who was persistent in asking for a larger stake in the startup after putting $500 million into OpenAI's last funding round, one of the people said. The tender offer is not related to OpenAI's potential plans to restructure the firm to a for-profit business , one of the people said. OpenAI and SoftBank declined to comment. The news underscores Son's interest in the AI space and in backing the most valuable private players. SoftBank was an early investor in Arm, and Son said at a recent conference that he's saving "tens of billions of dollars" to make the "next big move" in artificial intelligence. He had previously invested in Apple, Qualcomm and Alibaba. Money Report Samsung Electronics appoints co-CEO in leadership shuffle focused on chip divisions; shares drop Donald Trump selects Kevin Hassett to lead National Economic Council SoftBank's Vision Fund 2 recently invested in AI startups Glean, Perplexity and Poolside. SoftBank has about 470 portfolio companies and $160 billion in assets across its two vision funds. The OpenAI investment matches SoftBank's eagerness to deploy cash, with a capital-intensive business model, a person close to Son told CNBC. Even without SoftBank's deep pockets, OpenAI has had no trouble raising billions in cash. Its valuation has climbed to $157 billion in the two years since launching ChatGPT. OpenAI has raised roughly $13 billion from Microsoft , and it closed its latest $6.6 billion round in October , led by Thrive Capital and including participation from chipmaker Nvidia , SoftBank and others. The company also received a $4 billion revolving line of credit , bringing its total liquidity to more than $10 billion. OpenAI expects about $5 billion in losses on $3.7 billion in revenue this year, CNBC confirmed in September with a person familiar with the situation. The tender offer will be open to current and former employees who had been granted restricted stock units at least two years ago and have held the shares for at least that long, one of the people said. The unit price of $210 will align with the company's most recent funding round. Tender offers have become crucial for tech employees amid a dormant IPO market and skyrocketing company valuations. Private companies rely on such deals to keep employees happy and reduce the pressure to list on public markets. Since OpenAI has no initial public offering immediately on the horizon and a price tag that makes the company prohibitively expensive for would-be acquirers, secondary stock sales are the only way in the near future for shareholders to pocket a portion of their paper wealth. Databricks is another private company raising money to allow employees to cash out and avoid public markets pressure, CNBC reported this week. OpenAI took a more restrictive approach to tender offers in the past, with rules allowing the company to determine who gets to participate in stock sales, CNBC reported in June . Current and former OpenAI employees previously told CNBC that there was growing concern about access to liquidity after reports that the company had the power to claw back vested equity. But the company reversed its policies toward secondary share sales this summer, and it now allows current and former employees to participate equally in annual tender offers. The company expects to allow more of these secondary sales, and it will need to tap private markets again in the future based on demand from investors and the capital-intensive nature of the business, according to a person familiar with this week's tender offer. OpenAI has faced increasing competition from startups like Anthropic and tech giants like Google. The generative AI market is predicted to top $1 trillion in revenue within a decade, and business spending on generative AI surged 500% this year , according to recent data from Menlo Ventures. Last month OpenAI launched a search feature within ChatGPT, its viral chatbot, that positions the high-powered AI startup to better compete with search engines like Google , Microsoft's Bing and Perplexity .

‘Chioma has been my girlfriend for 12 years’ – Davido [VIDEO]Brainrot, brat, extreme weather, midwest nice and weird round out the shortlist SAN MATEO, Calif. , Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dictionary.com , the world's leading digital dictionary, today announced its 2024 Word of the Year: demure . Traditionally used to describe reserved or modest individuals, demure has taken on an expanded meaning this year to signify refined and sophisticated appearances or behaviors. "As remote work fades and in-person experiences become the norm again, the subtle art of personal presentation has taken on renewed importance," said Steve Johnson , Curriculum Design Manager of the Dictionary Media Group at IXL Learning . " Demure captures this cultural shift with a modern twist: a word that once carried traditional, often limiting connotations has been reimagined to celebrate understated elegance and suavity. Its evolving meaning gives people a way to express quiet confidence—embracing modesty and charm as intentional, empowering choices . " In making the annual selection, Dictionary.com 's lexicographers analyzed a wealth of data—including newsworthy headlines, search engine results and social media trends—to identify words that captured pivotal moments in 2024. The word demure dominated the cultural zeitgeist, with its usage in digital media surging a remarkable 1,200% between January and August.

The social media buzz surrounding demure sparked a similar spike in search interest. In the 11 months before Lebron's videos, there was no notable trend in Google searches for the term, but interest surged 14-fold by August 2024 .
