Culpeper Schools win inaugural awardWill Riley scored a game-high 19 points off the bench as No. 25 Illinois shrugged off a slow start to earn an 87-40 nonconference victory over Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday afternoon in Champaign, Ill. Morez Johnson Jr. recorded his first double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds, Kylan Boswell posted 13 points and Tomislav Ivisic contributed 11 for Illinois (4-1). Coming off a 100-87 loss to No. 8 Alabama on Wednesday, the Illini led by as much as 52 despite hitting just 10-of-40 3-point attempts. Jalen Ware paced Maryland Eastern Shore (2-6) with 10 points before fouling out. Ketron "KC" Shaw, who entered Saturday in the top 20 of Division I scorers at 22.3 points per game, went scoreless in the first half and finished with seven points on 2-of-11 shooting. The Hawks canned just 22.1 percent of their shots from the floor. Illinois broke out to a 6-0 lead in the first 2:06, then missed its next six shots. That gave the Hawks time to pull into an 8-8 tie on Evan Johnson's 17-foot pullup at the 12:21 mark. That marked Maryland Eastern Shore's last points for more than seven minutes as the Illini reeled off 17 straight points to remove any suspense. Johnson opened the spree with a basket and two free throws, Ben Humrichous swished a 3-pointer and Tre White sank a layup before Kasparas Jakucionis fed Ivisic for a 3-pointer and an alley-oop layup. Jakucionis set up Johnson for a free throw, then drove for an unchallenged layup to make it 25-8 with 5:15 left in the first. Evan Johnson snapped the visitors' dry spell with a driving layup at the 4:56 mark, but Illinois went on to establish a 35-15 halftime lead on the stretch of 11 offensive rebounds that turned into 12 second-chance points and 13 points off UMES' 10 turnovers. Maryland Eastern Shore needed nearly four minutes to get its first points in the second half as Illinois pushed its lead to 42-15. The Illini margin ballooned all the way to 70-24 on Boswell's driving layup with 8:11 to go. --Field Level Media

Romeo Doubs out with concussionAhmedabad (Gujarat) [India], November 30 (ANI): Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (SVPIA), managed by Adani Airport Holdings Limited, a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Ltd, has undertaken several pioneering initiatives, many of which are first-of-their-kind in the country, resulting “in a significant reduction in bird strikes”. This measure enhances the safety of both passengers and aircraft, a release said. Bird strikes pose a serious risk to aviation safety. When birds collide with aircraft, they can cause damage to engines, windshields and other critical components, potentially leading to serious accidents. To mitigate this risk, SVPI Airport has implemented a comprehensive bird management programme, the release said. It said several pioneering initiatives, seen for the first time at an airport in India, include targeted vegetation management, insect control, physical deterrence, wildlife management, acoustic deterrence and community engagement. To reduce the attractiveness of the airport to birds, a precise grass growth cycle management strategy has been implemented. “By using appropriate plant growth regulators and bird deterrents, SVPI Airport has been able to control the growth of vegetation and discourage birds from foraging. The plant growth regulators played a major role in keeping the height of grasses under check and thus reducing insect infestation,” the release said. It said that to reduce the availability of insect prey for birds, the Airport has undertaken comprehensive soil treatment to eliminate insect infestation, particularly winged termites, which attract black kites. Additionally, advanced insect attraction technologies like Farrow’s light traps and black light traps are used to capture insects in large quantities, further reducing bird food sources. To prevent birds from roosting on Airport structures, customised anti-perching devices conforming to Hyper Urban Bird Management technology have been installed. This is a patented technology for limiting access of pigeons; more than 95 per cent of the bird infestation in the Airport buildings has reduced. The release said that problematic wildlife species are safely relocated to designated areas to minimise their impact on airport operations. “SVPIA operates one of the first-of-its-kind programmes in the country for the scientific relocation of wildlife, including five species of birds,” it said. Customised bioacoustics systems have been installed on airport vehicles and on the periphery of the runway to deter birds. The Airport also regularly engages with local communities to educate them about the importance of avoiding bird feeding and littering in the vicinity of the Airport. “Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, Ahmedabad remains committed to implementing innovative and industry-leading solutions to further enhance safety standards and provide a secure and seamless travel experience for all passengers,” the release said. It said that all modules and techniques adopted for bird hazard management are designed in compliance with the guidelines provided by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. Ahmedabad International Airport Limited (AIAL) manages Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD). AIAL operates under Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises, the prominent infrastructure arm of the diversified Adani Group.

Δ document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() );Google recently announced a new computing chip called Willow. But this chip isn’t just a new chip or a small upgrade to an older one. It’s an absolute game-changer. Google says Willow can do in seconds what classical supercomputers would need thousands of years to finish. Let that sink in for a moment. The ramifications of this breakthrough are almost too vast to comprehend. But in today’s Market 360, I’m going to try to break it down for you. Because if you haven’t heard about quantum computing already, you soon will... Now, I’ll be honest, when I first alerted my Growth Investor subscribers to quantum computing back in late April, I thought this theme would take a few years to play out. Turns out, I was wrong. Two of the picks I suggested have already shot up around 400% since early May – with the bulk of those gains coming in just the past two months! (In fact, one of those stocks “inched” up another 20% last Friday.) But as I’ll explain in a moment, the quantum computing party isn’t over yet, so investors would be wise to get up to speed – now. A Quantum Crash Course Now, before we go any further, let’s back up and explain quantum computing. When British mathematician Alan Turing imagined a world where machines could “think,” he didn’t stop there. The father of modern computing went so far as to lay the foundation for artificial Intelligence by suggesting building a program to simulate the mind of a child. That way, you could teach it. If you’ve spent some time interacting with a large language model (LLM) like ChatGPT, then this should resonate. Now, I want you to think about a maze for a moment. A classic computer will run a simulation by choosing a path. It will start all over again when it hits a dead end in the maze. It will repeat this process again and again until it finds the solution. What’s more, if you can teach the computer how to reason like a person, then it could take a more efficient approach. Theoretically, it could automatically weed out the obvious dead ends, for example, and optimize the simulations even further. But here’s where things get really interesting, so stick with me here. What if you could test ALL paths of the maze simultaneously , giving you the correct answer in just a fraction of the time? Then you’d really have something on your hands, right? A few decades ago, this notion was just theoretical. The idea that matter can exist in multiple states at once only existed in the more or less theoretical realm of quantum mechanics. Here’s how my InvestorPlace colleague Global Macro Specialist Eric Fry puts it: That’s what quantum computing is all about. The idea is simple: Solve hard problems much faster than regular computers. Here’s why this matters... Throw Moore’s Law Out the Window For years, quantum computers were stuck in labs at universities and government agencies. They’re big, complex, expensive – and need to be kept in freezing-cold conditions. Oh yeah, and the more qubits are used, the more mistakes they make. That’s where advances in quantum chip technology, like Willow, are reducing the error rate. And thanks to a single piece of technology called an ion trapper, the quantum computer is set to break out of the lab... and into profit-making corporate America. I’ll spare you the technical details, but an ion trapper basically uses electrically charged atoms to store and manipulate qubits. (A qubit, by the way, is the quantum version of the classic binary bit.) Source: CBInsights The result? Smaller, simpler quantum computers. Machines that work at room temperature. Machines you can use almost anywhere. Machines that are (relatively) affordable. In other words, the first ever commercially viable quantum computer is on the horizon. The implications here are hard to understate. While classical computers have made tremendous gains over the decades, with quantum computing we’re talking about a complete paradigm shift . You can throw Moore’s Law – which states that the number of transistors on a microchip (and, in turn, computing power) doubles approximately every two years – out the window. Why does this matter? It’s simple. Faster computers mean big breakthroughs. With quantum computers... We’re going to start solving problems we don’t even know we have. Quantum Computing Is Next... Here’s What’s Now I’m bringing this up because, as we all know, artificial intelligence has been dominating the market. This is understandable, of course, since AI is quite literally changing the world as we know it. And right before our eyes, companies like NVIDIA Corporation ( NVDA ), which makes the chips necessary for companies looking to implement generative AI, are making money hand over fist, enriching investors in the process. We’ve certainly benefited from the rise of AI in my Growth Investor service . For example, we are currently sitting on a gain of 3,200% in NVIDIA! Gains like this can be truly life-changing. But I am here to tell you today that you should always keep an eye out for the next technological revolution on the horizon. Because by the time the mainstream public hears about it, the “easy” money will have already been made. The folks at NVIDIA know this, which is why they’re already working on quantum computing, too. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. While quantum computing stocks can make for good speculative investments (as my Growth Investor members have discovered over the past few months), we have a long way to go before the NVIDIA or Apple, Inc. ( AAPL ) of that world reveals itself. Before we get to AI’s quantum computing-powered stage, businesses and people have to truly learn to work with LLMs... and seek alternative methods to push AI further. This is where the future pace of development will depend on both human- and -machine ingenuity. The winners here will be the AI Appliers , the companies smart enough to apply imperfect AI technologies to an equally imperfect world. These are the firms that recognize AI’s limitations and create innovative solutions to overcome them. I expect this third stage of the AI Revolution will begin in 2025 – and my InvestorPlace colleagues Luke Lango and Eric Fry agree. It’s why we decided to team up and create a new portfolio of seven stocks that we believe will lead this next stage of AI development. These AI Appliers are... We also believe these firms will help investors prepare financially for a world increasingly dominated by computers that are smarter than the average person (though still far from perfect).

Sweepstakes scams are when scammers use the promise of a prize to get someone’s money or personal information. These scams typically take place over the phone where scammers usually ask individuals to pay money or provide personal and financial account information to receive prize, which is actually nonexistent. Last month, Bird’s office helped the couple after a scammer called the 72-year-old husband, telling him he won a Publishers Clearing House prize of $3.5 million, plus $5,000 a week for life, according to a release put out by the office on Monday. People are also reading... Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird speaks during a town hall campaign event for Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on May 17, 2023, in Ankeny, Iowa. He was instructed to pay $16,340.18 in upfront fees and taxes, leading him to mail a cashier's check to a Miami address provided by the scammer. The man’s wife and daughter learned what happened and contacted their son-in-law, who was at a training for Iowa county attorneys, the release said. The son-in-law spoke with an investigator from the Iowa Attorney General’s office about the scam and they were able to intercept the package and return it to the couple after working with a local postal inspector. “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is,” Bird said in the release. “I am so glad that we saved this Iowa couple their $16,000. Sweepstakes scams are evil and manipulative. And con artists will do everything they can to exploit Iowans’ emotions, like the excitement of hitting the jackpot, in order to steal from you.” Bird encourages Iowans to call her office at 1-888-777-4590 if they or someone they know is suspicious of a sweepstakes scam. Here are ways to spot a sweepstakes scam, according to the Iowa Attorney General’s Office: New money scams are popping up: Here are the ones to look out for New money scams are popping up: Here are the ones to look out for Financial scams are an unfortunate reality of life for consumers. According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, Canadians reported $530.4 million (CND) in financial fraud losses in 2022, a 170.2% increase in just one year. And the situation in the U.S. is even bleaker, with the Federal Trade Commission reporting Americans lost more than $10 billion (USD) from financial fraud in 2023. While some scams are obvious, others can be rather convincing. It doesn't help that scams are constantly evolving, and new types of fraud are invented daily. A quick slip-up, and you could be giving away some of your vital information. To protect yourself, Money.ca shares tips to think like a thief and stay current with the most common scams. Facebook Scams While Facebook is a great place to connect with people, it's almost become a prime hunting ground for thieves. One common scam involves fraudsters who set up a group or fan page that looks identical to an authentic brand. For example, it could be an airline or a popular retailer. They'll then advertise a contest where all you need to do is enter your personal information or bank details for your chance to win. As soon as any "brand" starts asking for specific information about you, red flags should be going off. It's okay to give your name and email, but if they're asking for your government ID numbers, bank account, or copies of your ID, it's probably a scam. Note that there are other scams on Facebook, including account cloning, where someone poses as a relative or friend and asks for financial help. There are also romance scams where the end game is getting you to send them money. If something doesn't seem right, don't be afraid to call the brands or your friends in person to see if what they're advertising or asking for is legit. AI Scams Artificial intelligence, or AI, is seemingly everywhere nowadays, so it's only fitting that AI is now making its way into consumer financial scams. Fraudsters are using AI for a whole host of scams, including deepfakes, a process in which scammers employ AI to create convincing voice clones, making it difficult for victims to distinguish between real and fake emergency situations. But the threat of AI scams also extends to phishing attacks, with fraudsters using AI bots to create sophisticated emails, text messages, and social media accounts. These bots are highly personalized and can bypass traditional spam filters, increasing the likelihood of users falling for the scam. Online Shopping Scams Online shopping scams have become a prevalent issue in today's digital age. Scammers have honed their skills and are now specifically targeting online shoppers, who are particularly vulnerable to fraud. These scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with scammers creating fake websites and launching social media campaigns to deceive unsuspecting consumers. What makes these scams even more dangerous is that they often impersonate well-known brands, luring shoppers with unbelievably low prices that are simply too tempting to resist. What makes these scams even more dangerous is that they often impersonate well-known brands, luring shoppers with unbelievably low prices that are simply too tempting to resist. Because of this, it's important to be cautious when encountering too-good-to-be-true offers, especially when shopping online , as they can have devastating financial consequences. Revenue and Tax Scams Tax scams are a very common form of fraud that prays on a collective fear of the tax man. These scams come in many forms, but follow one basic pattern: Someone claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency or the Internal Revenue Service will call or email and claim you owe back taxes. If you don't pay immediately, you'll be arrested or deported. The claim seems far-fetched, but it targets seniors or new immigrants who may not know any better. You'll know it's a scam when they ask you to pay by gift cards or Bitcoin. They'll also tell you that you'll be arrested or deported right away if you say anything to anyone. Just hang up if you ever get one of these calls. Tax authorities will never call you with aggressive language or threats. They'll also never ask for immediate payment. If you're not sure if a call you received is fraudulent, call the agency directly and ask them if an agent has been trying to contact you. Package Delivery Scams Package delivery scams have become increasingly prevalent in recent times. Individuals are receiving fake messages, supposedly from reputable companies such as Amazon, UPS, FedEx, or the post office, regarding upcoming or missed deliveries. These scams aim to deceive you into clicking on links that direct them to fraudulent sign-in pages or websites infected with malware. It is crucial to remain vigilant and exercise caution when encountering such messages. Rental Scams With the cost of rent rising in many parts of the country, many people are looking to cut back on their living expenses. Thieves know that and are starting to exploit people by putting up fraudulent ads about apartments or rooms for rent on sites like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. The price will usually be a touch below market price, which will drive up interest. These listings will look legit as there will be plenty of pictures, but once you reach out, you'll know that it's a scam as they won't do a face-to-face showing. While it's easy for locals to verify if the rental available is real or not, fraudsters target people who don't live in the area, but need affordable housing. Also, note that this scam doesn't apply to just monthly rentals. The same scam has been used for short-term rentals in popular tourist destinations. The fraudster will demand the first and last month's rent via wire or e-transfer. Once you've made the deposit, you'll never hear from them again. To avoid this scam, always view the property in person and verify the person is the owner. The easiest way to do this is to ask to see a property tax bill with their name on it. You could even check with the city's public records to verify ownership. Fake Employment Scams Many job postings online look legit, but are clearly fake. One of the most common job scams involves working from home. Your new employer will send you a cheque. You'll use part of that money to set up your home office. The rest of the money will be sent back to your employer via e-transfer. The cheque will seem legit at first since some of the funds become available right away. However, the cheque will eventually bounce after a week or two. While you could return any items you purchased, there's no chance of recovering the funds you sent via e-transfer. So although you're clearly a victim of fraud, your financial institution won't be returning any money to you. Protect Yourself From Financial Scams Fraudsters are constantly coming up with new scams, so it's important to take steps to protect yourself. Here are some tips to keep in mind: Remember, being proactive and cautious is key to protecting yourself from financial scams. Stay vigilant and follow these guidelines to safeguard your personal and financial information. This story was produced by Money.ca and reviewed and distributed by Stacker.

Hayes enjoyed her return to familiar shores but felt the US lacked the “killer piece” after they looked the likelier side to make the breakthrough. Elite meeting of the minds 🌟 pic.twitter.com/R4d8EArqTp — U.S. Women's National Soccer Team (@USWNT) November 30, 2024 Asked what was going through her mind during the national anthem, Hayes said: “I was definitely mouthing (it), and Naomi (Girma) and Lynn (Williams) could see that I was struggling with where to be and all that. “I got to the end of the anthems and I thought, ‘that’s so ridiculous. I’m proud to be English and I’m proud of our national anthem, and I’m also really proud to coach America’. “Two things are possible all at once. I don’t want to fuel a nationalist debate around it. The realities are both countries are really dear to me for lots of reasons, and I’m really proud to represent both of them.” The Lionesses did not register a shot on target in the first half but grew into the game in the second. US captain Lindsey Horan had the ball in the net after the break but the flag was up, while Hayes’ side had a penalty award for a handball reversed after a VAR check determined substitute Yazmeen Ryan’s shot hit Alex Greenwood’s chest. Hayes, who left Chelsea after 12 trophy-packed years this summer, said: “I’ve been privileged to coach a lot of top-level games, including here, so there’s a familiarity to being here for me. “It’s not new to me, and because of that there was a whole sense of I’m coming back to a place I know. I have a really healthy perspective, and I want to have a really healthy perspective on my profession. “I give everything I possibly can for a team that I really, really enjoy coaching, and I thrive, not just under pressure, but I like these opportunities, I like being in these situations. They bring out the best in me. “You’ve got two top teams now, Sarina is an amazing coach, I thought it was a good tactical match-up, and I just enjoy coaching a high-level football match, to be honest with you. I don’t think too much about it.” Hayes had travelled to London without her entire Olympic gold medal-winning ‘Triple Espresso’ forward line of Trinity Rodman, Mallory Swanson and Sophia Smith, all nursing niggling injuries. Before the match, the 48-year-old was spotted chatting with Wiegman and her US men’s counterpart, fellow ex-Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino, who was also in attendance. England were also missing a number of key attackers for the friendly including Lauren Hemp, Lauren James and Ella Toone, all ruled out with injury. "This shows where we are at and we need to keep improving. It is November now. This is good but we want to be better again. We have to be better again." 👊 Reaction from the boss ⬇️ — Lionesses (@Lionesses) November 30, 2024 Wiegman brushed aside suggestions from some pundits that her side were content to settle for a draw. She said: “I think we were really defending as a team, very strong. We got momentum in the second half, we did better, and of course both teams went for the win. “So many things happened in this game, also in front of the goal, so I don’t think it was boring. “We wanted to go for the win, but it was such a high-intensity game, you have to deal with a very good opponent, so you can’t just say, ‘Now we’re going to go and score that goal’. “We tried, of course, to do that. We didn’t slow down to keep it 0-0. I think that was just how the game went.”
