Real Madrid fans restore Barcelona’s nickname amid controversial scenes in Celta clashLiverpool transfer news as Wolves star Matheus Cunha rises to be an in-demand player for 2025 and won't come cheap anymore Only four players have scored more goals than Wolves' Matheus Cunha after 18 matches of the Premier League season. Alexander Isak is the sole name to have done it without needing a single penalty. Add in Cunha's assists (four), and he is sixth in the division for overall contributions. With Wolves down in 17th, hovering just above the relegation zone and within a matchday swing of dropping back into the bottom three, his achievement is all the more impressive. When it comes to goals and assists, Bryan Mbeumo in 12th with Brentford is the next player to represent a higher-placed team above Wolves on this list. Jarrod Bowen at West Ham (13th in the league, 17th in the contribution chart) follows them. Markers for a player's worth, value, and performances don't come much bigger than that. It is why Liverpool have now been linked with Wolves' star. He is reportedly one of the targets heading into 2025 with Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle all providing competition. Cunha is not said to be pushing for an exit next month despite the form and interest but is sure to be one to watch for the coming winter and summer windows regardless. Having ended last season with 12 goals and seven assists - only one of those coming from spot - it is a bank of work being built by Cunha that now demands attention. Always a promising player at Hertha Berlin and then Atletico Madrid, he is developing into a genuine standout for the Premier League . Despite being young, the Brazilian international has always commanded large fees. RB Leipzig spent over £10million to sign him as a teenager before nearly doubling their money two years later in a move across the Bundesliga. 18 months later it was Diego Simeone again nearly paying twice as much with Atleti. Wolves were convinced by his six-month loan and parted with over £45million to get him to Molineux. It is said that at least the same again will be needed to see them part way with Cunha in 2025. On current form, it is a price that is hard to argue with. If anything, at current market rates, it is probably less than might have been expected. Wolves are not in a position where they need to sell right now, though, and have seen their fortunes start to pick up under Vitor Pereira. If they stay up then it will only boost their resoluteness to keep him. Such has been the rise of Cunha, his estimated value has shot up as well as his own standing in the game. Shortly after moving to Wolves on loan he was deemed to be worth just over £25million by Transfermarkt. That has almost only gone up since, which shows just how influential he has been. This time last year his price was seen to be at just shy of £30million with last season ending with him up at over £40million, reflecting where Wolves thought he was as a player. Now resting a notch higher at nearly £45milion. CIES Football Observatory agrees, pitting him at £43million earlier this season. For Liverpool, who know they will have to go big in order to try and prize him away from the Midlands, it will hurt to see where his stock was and how readily available he might have been previously. However, competing at the top of the table leaves the club with very little room for manoeuvre and waiting for Cunha to shoot up is not much of an option either. Given that he was picked up for £25million just over three years ago and is now worth considerably more, it is a blow to see the price now be so much more. That is the game that is played at the highest end, though, and Liverpool may well see it as being reasonable now.

By MICHELLE L. PRICE and ROB GILLIES NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s recent dinner with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his visit to Paris for the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral were not just exercises in policy and diplomacy. They were also prime trolling opportunities for Trump.

There were his belittling nicknames for political opponents, his impressions of other political figures and the plentiful memes he shared on social media. Now that’s he’s preparing to return to the Oval Office, Trump is back at it, and his trolling is attracting more attention — and eyerolls. On Sunday, Trump turned a photo of himself seated near a smiling first lady Jill Biden at the Notre Dame ceremony into a social media promo for his new perfume and cologne line, with the tag line, “A fragrance your enemies can’t resist!” The first lady’s office declined to comment. When Trudeau hastily flew to Florida to meet with Trump last month over the president-elect’s threat to impose a 25% tax on all Canadian products entering the U.S., the Republican tossed out the idea that Canada become the 51st U.S. state. The Canadians passed off the comment as a joke, but Trump has continued to play up the dig, including in a post Tuesday morning on his social media network referring to the prime minister as “Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada.” After decades as an entertainer and tabloid fixture, Trump has a flair for the provocative that is aimed at attracting attention and, in his most recent incarnation as a politician, mobilizing fans. He has long relished poking at his opponents, both to demean and minimize them and to delight supporters who share his irreverent comments and posts widely online and cheer for them in person. Trump, to the joy of his fans, first publicly needled Canada on his social media network a week ago when he posted an AI-generated image that showed him standing on a mountain with a Canadian flag next to him and the caption “Oh Canada!” After his latest post, Canadian Immigration Minister Marc Miller said Tuesday: “It sounds like we’re living in a episode of South Park.” Trudeau said earlier this week that when it comes to Trump, “his approach will often be to challenge people, to destabilize a negotiating partner, to offer uncertainty and even sometimes a bit of chaos into the well established hallways of democracies and institutions and one of the most important things for us to do is not to freak out, not to panic.” Even Thanksgiving dinner isn’t a trolling-free zone for Trump’s adversaries. On Thanksgiving Day, Trump posted a movie clip from “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” with President Joe Biden and other Democrats’ faces superimposed on the characters in a spoof of the turkey-carving scene. The video shows Trump appearing to explode out of the turkey in a swirl of purple sparks, with the former president stiffly dancing to one of his favorite songs, Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.” In his most recent presidential campaign, Trump mocked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, refusing to call his GOP primary opponent by his real name and instead dubbing him “Ron DeSanctimonious.” He added, for good measure, in a post on his Truth Social network: “I will never call Ron DeSanctimonious ‘Meatball’ Ron, as the Fake News is insisting I will.” As he campaigned against Biden, Trump taunted him in online posts and with comments and impressions at his rallies, deriding the president over his intellect, his walk, his golf game and even his beach body. After Vice President Kamala Harris took over Biden’s spot as the Democratic nominee, Trump repeatedly suggested she never worked at McDonalds while in college. Trump, true to form, turned his mocking into a spectacle by appearing at a Pennsylvania McDonalds in October, when he manned the fries station and held an impromptu news conference from the restaurant drive-thru. Trump’s team thinks people should get a sense of humor. “President Trump is a master at messaging and he’s always relatable to the average person, whereas many media members take themselves too seriously and have no concept of anything else other than suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome,” said Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director. “President Trump will Make America Great Again and we are getting back to a sense of optimism after a tumultuous four years.” Though both the Biden and Harris campaigns created and shared memes and launched other stunts to respond to Trump’s taunts, so far America’s neighbors to the north are not taking the bait. “I don’t think we should necessarily look on Truth Social for public policy,” Miller said. Gerald Butts, a former top adviser to Trudeau and a close friend, said Trump brought up the 51st state line to Trudeau repeatedly during Trump’s first term in office. “Oh God,” Butts said Tuesday, “At least a half dozen times.” “This is who he is and what he does. He’s trying to destabilize everybody and make people anxious,” Butts said. “He’s trying to get people on the defensive and anxious and therefore willing to do things they wouldn’t otherwise entertain if they had their wits about them. I don’t know why anybody is surprised by it.” Gillies reported from Toronto. Associated Press writer Darlene Superville contributed to this report.
The comeback has started. Green Bay intercepted Sam Darnold, converting the pick into a four-play, 16-yard drive that has the Packers within 20-10 of the Vikings. Darnold tried to hit T.J. Hockenson and instead watched Carrington Valentine intercept the pass. Valentine returned it 33 yards to the Minnesota 17 before Jalen Nailor forced Valentine to fumble. Keisean Nixon recovered for the Packers at the Minnesota 16. Josh Jacobs ran for 3 yards; Jordan Love completed a 9-yard pass to Romeo Doubs, and then Jacobs had runs of 2 and 2. The last was a touchdown run. He has scored in seven consecutive games and now has 17 carries for 69 yards.None
2025 Audi A6 And S6 E-Tron Reimagine An Iconic Model For The Electric AgeKUALA LUMPUR, Dec 3 — When Jeffrey Chou moved into his new home in Damansara, he anticipated high electricity bills due to his fish pond and nine air conditioners. His concerns grew when a two-week family vacation resulted in a bill still running into the hundreds. This prompted him to explore solar power as an alternative. At the time, Chou’s electricity bills for his two-storey terrace house averaged between RM900 and RM1,100 per month. “Having tracked (electricity bills) consistently at RM1,000 or more per month and wondering why the bill was still so high (while away from home) during the vacation, it was time to look into investing in solar power as a long-term investment,” he said when contacted. About a month ago, he installed 27 solar panels and the accompanying system for RM34,000, significantly lowering his expenses. Although Chou is ineligible for rebates under the NEM 3.0 (Net Energy Metering) scheme, which has reached its quota, he still saves on electricity. “We’re not eligible for any kickbacks as the government’s NEM 3.0 (Net Energy Metering) quota is full, but we’re still saving on electricity as the bill is now around RM650-RM700 per month. “Once the quota is open and we get a slot, then we can look into getting returns on our investment,” he said when contacted. “The alternative was to keep spending money (paying electricity bills as usual), knowing it’ll increase in the future, so this was a good financial decision.” Another homeowner, Muhammad Hazwan Yunus from Keramat, faced similar issues with monthly electricity bills of RM650 to RM700 and rising. He, too, had nine air conditioners at home and his situation was compounded by frequent family gatherings that spiked electricity usage, especially during weekends. Hazwan turned to solar financing and found companies which offers system installation with no upfront costs. Initially sceptical, he researched the concept and found it viable. “You rent the system with a meter installed, and the company charges you accordingly,” he said. “I took this substitution plan from Sols Energy and they installed the system, but now I have two bills. One to Sols, who charge 46 cents per kWh (Kilowatt-hours), and the other to TNB. “Now the TNB bill is around RM60 and the Sols bill is around RM420. I still save,” he told Malay Mail . According to TNB’s bill calculator, homeowners consuming between 2,000 and 2,300 kWh monthly — leading to bills of RM1,000 to RM1,200 — would see their costs rise to RM1,300 to RM1,500 after adding the 8 per cent service tax. To understand how many kWh you’re using, click this link to TNB’s bill calculator . As of January 1, 2024, electricity prices in Malaysia are as follows: According to solar panel installers Malay Mail spoke to, for residential solar systems, the maximum capacity is 17 kWh, which can save households between RM950 and RM1,000 per month. A typical solar panel generates 400 to 500 watts, so a 22-panel system produces about 11 kWh. The cheapest installations cater to homes with RM200 to RM250 monthly bills, while the priciest systems target households with bills exceeding RM1,500. Meanwhile, prices for solar installations have dropped by 20 per cent. A vendor highlighted that the price of a 22-panel solar system has dropped from RM43,000 last year to RM36,000, thanks to improved panel quality and increased imports from China, which have contributed to these cost reductions. Abdul Wahid Ibrahim, an IT manager in Johor, installed a solar system in June to manage bills that exceeded RM1,000, especially during school holidays when his kids were around. He viewed solar power as a strategic investment for long-term financial stability. “The setup includes 23 solar panels, generating 12.65 kWp for a three-phase power supply. I have 23 panels and my TNB bill is RM20-40 now and the entire thing cost around RM23,000. “I pay RM560 monthly (for the solar panels) through a credit card instalment plan and RM20 to RM40 to TNB. This is about RM600 monthly compared to RM800 to RM1,000 previously,” he said. Abdul Wahid expects to break even in under five years. “At the moment, NEM 3.0 is a ten-year term, but once I’ve cleared this credit card payment, I will pay only RM40 per month,” he said. Abdul Wahid said he preferred to pay for the system outright as he could break even faster than taking a seven- to 10-year plan with a company. “Since I installed mine, I’ve noticed three or four other households in my area doing the same. “Panel prices are generally lower now compared to a year ago, but there might still be some variation. Back then, solar panels was much more expensive,” he said. “If you calculate properly, it’s manageable, and you can break even. Some people think it’s expensive, but with payment schedules — say, using a credit card stretched to 50 months — it becomes much cheaper. “Unfortunately, many vendors only partner with banks for shorter terms, like 12 to 36 months. If they offered financing for 48 to 60 months, it would be much easier for most people,” he added. Malaysian Photovoltaic Industry Association (MPIA) president Davis Chong observed a significant uptick in installations, with major urban centres like the Klang Valley, Johor and Penang leading the charge, with growing interest in states such as Kedah, Melaka, Perak and Negeri Sembilan. Chong said homeowners can expect to see returns on investment within five to eight years, with some achieving payback even sooner. “Over a 25-year period (the typical warranty period for solar panels), homeowners can save significantly on their electricity bills. “For example, a system that costs RM45,000 to install could save an estimated RM90,000 over 25 years,” he told Malay Mail . Davis also said financing options have expanded, with solar loans and innovative business models making installations more affordable. Programmes like NEM and the SolaRIS rebate offer financial incentives, further encouraging adoption. Technological advancements, including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), is also making a difference, allowing homeowners to store excess energy for later use. Some new housing developments are also pre-installing solar systems, easing adoption for buyers. “On top of that, I think P2P (peer-to-peer) energy trading is a really interesting development. This allows homeowners to sell their extra solar energy to others, creating a new way to earn money from their systems. “It’s a win-win because it makes solar (energy) more financially attractive and could encourage more developers to invest in residential solar (systems),” Chong added. Sols Energy spokesperson and teacher Raj Ridvan Singh said urban and suburban areas, especially in states like Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Pahang, are experiencing significant growth in solar adoption. He added that government incentives, such as the SolaRIS RM4,000 rebate, have significantly reduced installation costs, making solar more accessible for homeowners. The NEM scheme, introduced by the Malaysian government, reduces reliance on TNB by allowing households to supply excess solar energy back to the grid in exchange for credits. When solar energy is insufficient or during the night when sunlight is unavailable, TNB will supply the energy to meet the household's needs. According to the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (Seda), the current NEM rakyat quota balance is 44.7 MWac, though applications is around ten times that at 405.3 MWac.

LEO MCKINSTRY: It is frankly impossible for council employees to show the same commitment to their position when they are thousands of miles away sipping a pina colada By LEO MCKINSTRY FOR THE DAILY MAIL Published: 22:35, 29 December 2024 | Updated: 22:35, 29 December 2024 e-mail View comments Like much of the public sector, our local councils have rushed to embrace ‘remote working’, which allows staff to operate from home or even from overseas. Fuelled by the lockdowns during the Covid pandemic, the practice has become embedded in the public sector, as an investigation by the TaxPayers’ Alliance in today’s Mail reveals. Since the end of the pandemic, local councils have agreed to more than 2,000 requests to work from abroad, with the number of individual approvals soaring from 73 in 2020/21 to 731 last year. In one shocking case, an employee from West Devon Borough Council was allowed to work from the Spanish holiday resort of Ibiza for nearly four years from March 2020. Others have won the right to base themselves in places as diverse as Portugal, Brazil , Malta, South Africa and the tropical sands of Bali. Supporters of logging on from the beach like to prattle on about ‘work-life balance’ and the need to offer greater ‘flexibility’ in order to attract recruits. Such claims are unconvincing. It is frankly impossible for public employees to show the same commitment to their position or understanding of local problems when they are thousands of miles away sipping a pina colada. Like much of the public sector, our local councils have rushed to embrace ‘remote working’, which allows staff to operate from home or even from overseas (stock image) Fuelled by the lockdowns during the Covid pandemic, the practice has become embedded in the public sector, as an investigation by the TaxPayers’ Alliance in today’s Mail reveals (stock image) And it is the height of folly to promote this behaviour when the biggest problem in the public sector is declining productivity due to outdated working practices, an obsession with red tape and a manifest lack of workforce discipline. The latest official figures show that public sector productivity is 8.5 per cent lower than it was before the pandemic. Home Office asylum backlogs and NHS waiting lists are twin symbols of our chronically inefficient state. At HMRC, meanwhile, more than 90 per cent of the workforce has the ‘right’ to remote-work for part of the week, which perhaps explains why 10 million calls to the organisation go unanswered every year. In the same vein, at the Office for National Statistics, daily attendance at some buildings is as low as 5 per cent. Tellingly, the transformation of these workplaces into ghost towns has come at the very moment when the ONS is under fire for disastrous recent errors over migrant numbers. Read More EXCLUSIVE Fury as councils approve thousands of requests to work abroad - including one who worked from Ibiza Only last month, the ONS was forced to make embarrassingly swingeing adjustments to its immigration figures after admitting that net migration into the UK hit a record 906,000 in the year to June 2023 – much higher than the 740,000 figure it had previously reported. Yet attempts to get ONS staff – as well as around 3,800 workers employed in 14 Land Registry offices – to return to the office have met with fierce resistance, led by the Public and Commercial Services union, which has successfully balloted its members for industrial action. The National Education Union, which represents teachers, is also agitating for more flexible working, ignoring all the lessons from the Covid lockdowns about the need for more interaction with pupils. Bankrolled by the trade unions and wedded to the ideology of workers’ rights, the Labour Government is sympathetic to calls for more remote working. Our country should be moving in the opposite direction. Mollycoddling of staff has already gone too far. The needs of the public should come first, not the desires of staff to work from their sun-loungers.

Someone thinks six prominent Kentucky Republicans could run for U.S. Senate soon. Various website domains “for senate” were recently created for congressmen Andy Barr, Brett Guthrie and James Comer, as well as former attorney general Daniel Cameron, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft and Lexington businessman Nate Morris. None of them have said they’ll seek the office, and none of them have said they’re involved in the creation of any of those websites. And there’s still not word on whether or not they could even be used in the near term. The longest-serving Senate party leader in U.S. history, Sen. Mitch McConnell, has yet to decide if he will run for his Senate seat again in 2026. The 82-year-old opted to step down from his leadership post earlier this year, clearing the way for Sen. John Thune, R-SD, to take over when Republicans take the majority next year. A McConnell spokesperson responded to a Herald-Leader inquiry by stating that the leader “hasn’t made an announcement about his 2026 plans.” The domain name reservations could be the work of a so-called “cybersquatter,” a term referencing someone who buys several political web domains in anticipation of a potential yet-unannounced campaign. This year, the self-described “GOAT” — greatest of all time — of cybersquatting , Jeremy Green Eche, sold the HarrisWalz.com domain to the Democratic presidential ticket for $15,000. In response to a Herald-Leader inquiry, Eche said that the Kentucky-related domains were not purchased by him. None of the sites are currently active. A spokesperson for Comer said that the congressman’s team, to his knowledge, had nothing to do with the creation of websites like “comerforussenate.com” and “comer4senate.com.” He also relayed that Comer has no interest in running for senate even if McConnell does not seek reelection. Cameron, meanwhile, left the door open. “Makenze and I are committed to serving Kentucky and we’re praying about what that looks like,” Cameron said, referring to his wife. “I remain open to any opportunity that could arise to make a difference, advance a conservative agenda, and help President Trump get our country back on track.” Cameron is now running the 1792 Exchange , a nonprofit organization dedicated to pushing back on allegedly “woke” capitalism and corporations. It’s particularly targeted at ESG — short for environmental, social and governance — which refers to the guidelines and policies used by some companies to guide or inform their investments. The group recently launched a “national” ad campaign touting its “workplace politics survey.” The former attorney general has also remained politically active in Kentucky, raising money and doling it out to state-level candidates through his All 120 PAC. In a recent email newsletter to supporters, Cameron emphasized how politically involved he’s been this year, including hitting the stump for Trump. “Even though my name wasn’t on the ballot, I hit the campaign trail hard because of the importance of this election. It was good to see old friends at Lincoln Dinners and GOP functions across the state. The greatest honor for me this election cycle was serving as a surrogate for President Trump. It gave me an opportunity to make the case for him on tv, in West Virginia, and in battleground state, Wisconsin,” Cameron wrote. Spokespeople for Barr, Guthrie and Craft, as well as a person familiar with Morris’ thinking, did not respond to a request for comment on the matter. Should the seat open up, President-elect Donald Trump could hold significant sway over who gets the GOP nomination. In the 2023 governor’s race, he endorsed Cameron early, before some others entered the race. Cameron has retained ties to Trump, speaking as his surrogate at Fancy Farm, the state’s premier political speaking event, this summer. Craft, who lost to Cameron in the 2023 GOP primary for governor, has been a mainstay fundraiser for Trump. In the lead-up to all three of the president-elect’s runs, Craft and her husband — billionaire coal magnate and philanthropist Joe Craft — have played key roles in donating their own funds as well as hosting fundraisers. Craft served as both ambassador to Canada and the United Nations during Trump’s first term. Both of those slots, as well as other major foreign affairs roles like Secretary of State, NATO ambassador and ambassador to France have already been filled. However, several other high-profile ambassadorships like England, Russia, China and others remain open. Morris is a politico-turned-entrepreneur who founded the Lexington-based waste technology company Rubicon. Morris has been active in attending political functions in recent years, has a book on the way and money to spend. In 2022 alone, he made $41 million according to outlet Waste Dive. Also in 2022, the company went public on the New York Stock Exchange in a $1.7 billion deal. Morris also has some ties to Vice President-elect JD Vance, whose story as a political outsider with deep pockets from a heartland state mirrors Morris’. Barr has also hewed closely to Trump. He served as the campaign chair this year for the state of Kentucky and says he wants to bridge the gap between “America First” Trump-style populism and free market capitalism. But he currently has his sights set on a Washington role in his own chamber. A recent report from Axios, corroborated by other Washington outlets, dubs Barr the favorite to chair the House Financial Services Committee. He’s running against fellow committee member French Hill, R-AR, and others. Barr previously rebuffed rumors he’d abandon his bid for the chairmanship if McConnell were to step down. “If my colleagues in the House want me to lead the Financial Services Committee, that’s my priority,” he said in a February interview with POLITICO. According to Republican House Conference rules , a committee chair must vacate his or her role if they decide to run for another elected office. Guthrie is also in a race for a chairmanship, in his case for the Energy and Commerce Committee. The Bowling Green Republican is outpacing his competition, Rep. Bob Latta, R-KY, in the fundraising race according to Punchbowl News. The outlet reported that House GOP leadership “tends to view Guthrie as having the inside track.” ©2024 Lexington Herald-Leader.

Crews were called to the school around 10 a.m. to reports of smoke. According to the Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) the fire has been put out. The school will be closed for the rest of the day while restoration crews clear smoke from the building. Students evacuated to Ingersoll District Memorial Centre and parents who wish to dismiss their child for the day were asked to call the school attendance line or pick up their child directly at the arena.
