Daily Post Nigeria EPL: Bruno Fernandes banned for Man Utd vs Newcastle clash Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Sport EPL: Bruno Fernandes banned for Man Utd vs Newcastle clash Published on December 26, 2024 By Ifreke Inyang Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes will be suspended for their next Premier League clash against Newcastle United on Monday. Fernandes picked up two yellow cards against Wolves on Boxing Day, which automatically triggers a one-match ban. The Portugal midfielder has become the first United player in the last decade to be sent off three times across all competitions in a single season. The 30-year-old was shown a red card during their 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. However, that decision was eventually overturned. Fernandes was also sent off as United drew 3-3 with FC Porto in the Europa League. Manuel Ugarte will also miss the game against Newcastle, as he picked up his fifth yellow card of this season.

The 38-year-old information technology worker from New Mexico had a prescription. Her pharmacy had the drugs in stock. And her health insurance covered all but $25 to $50 of the monthly cost. For Griffin, the hardest part of using the new drugs wasn’t access. It was finding out that the much-hyped medications didn’t really work for her. “I have been on Wegovy for a year and a half and have only lost 13 pounds,” said Griffin, who watches her diet, drinks plenty of water and exercises regularly. “I’ve done everything right with no success. It’s discouraging.” In clinical trials, most participants taking Wegovy or Mounjaro to treat obesity lost an average of 15% to 22% of their body weight — up to 50 pounds or more in many cases. But roughly 10% to 15% of patients in those trials were “nonresponders” who lost less than 5% of their body weight. Now that millions of people have used the drugs, several obesity experts told The Associated Press that perhaps 20% of patients — as many as 1 in 5 — may not respond well to the medications. It's a little-known consequence of the obesity drug boom, according to doctors who caution eager patients not to expect one-size-fits-all results. “It's all about explaining that different people have different responses,” said Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, an obesity expert at Massachusetts General Hospital The drugs are known as GLP-1 receptor agonists because they mimic a hormone in the body known as glucagon-like peptide 1. Genetics, hormones and variability in how the brain regulates energy can all influence weight — and a person's response to the drugs, Stanford said. Medical conditions such as sleep apnea can prevent weight loss, as can certain common medications, such as antidepressants, steroids and contraceptives. “This is a disease that stems from the brain,” said Stanford. “The dysfunction may not be the same” from patient to patient. Despite such cautions, patients are often upset when they start getting the weekly injections but the numbers on the scale barely budge. “It can be devastating,” said Dr. Katherine Saunders, an obesity expert at Weill Cornell Medicine and co-founder of the obesity treatment company FlyteHealth. “With such high expectations, there’s so much room for disappointment.” That was the case for Griffin, who has battled obesity since childhood and hoped to shed 70 pounds using Wegovy. The drug helped reduce her appetite and lowered her risk of diabetes, but she saw little change in weight. “It’s an emotional roller coaster,” she said. “You want it to work like it does for everybody else.” The medications are typically prescribed along with eating behavior and lifestyle changes. It’s usually clear within weeks whether someone will respond to the drugs, said Dr. Jody Dushay, an endocrine specialist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Weight loss typically begins right away and continues as the dosage increases. For some patients, that just doesn't happen. For others, side effects such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea force them to halt the medications, Dushay said. In such situations, patients who were counting on the new drugs to pare pounds may think they’re out of options. “I tell them: It's not game over,” Dushay said. Trying a different version of the new class of drugs may help. Griffin, who didn't respond well to Wegovy, has started using Zepbound, which targets an additional hormone pathway in the body. After three months of using the drug, she has lost 7 pounds. “I'm hoping it's slow and steady,” she said. Other people respond well to older drugs, the experts said. Changing diet, exercise, sleep and stress habits can also have profound effects. Figuring out what works typically requires a doctor trained to treat obesity, Saunders noted. “Obesity is such a complex disease that really needs to be treated very comprehensively,” she said. “If what we’re prescribing doesn’t work, we always have a backup plan.” The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.

No faction in NNPP, Asiwaju Shittu clarifies
Sukhbir Badal recalls close personal relation his father and Manmohan Singh sharedRepublican U.S. Sen.-elect Tim Sheehy this week claimed a firework-ignited grass fire set near his campaign sign west of Livingston was a politically motivated arson. A Park County sheriff’s deputy on Dec. 21 notified dispatchers of a fire near Interstate 90 and West End Road. On social media, the sheriff’s office said winds that night were clocked at 50-to-60 mph and helped push the fire out to 26 acres. Image of the area west of Livingston burned by someone discharging fireworks into the grass on Dec. 21, 2024. (courtesy Park County Sheriff's Office) Authorities issued evacuations for the nearby residents and firefighters knocked the blaze down in roughly an hour and a half, according to the sheriff’s office post. The fire "definitely" started near a Sheehy campaign sign, the rural fire district chief . And while law enforcement has obtained video of the suspect's vehicle fleeing the area after starting the fire, it appeared Friday that no one had been charged yet. Republican U.S. Senate candidate Tim Sheehy addresses supporters early Wednesday morning at the Kimpton Armory Hotel in Bozeman. On Tuesday Sheehy appeared near the scorched scene and issued a social media post of appreciation for the responders, which, , included neighbors to the threatened properties. He also posted a picture with two Montana Department of Transportation employees, whose facility was adjacent to the burned area, as well as a photo of a blackened building. Initial reports from the sheriff’s office did say the incident was being investigated as a criminal act but did not imply political motivations, although Sheehy appeared certain of it in a video posted to his social media. "We just visited with the Jensen family here, four beautiful young kids, it was actually their third daughter’s birthday the night that these arsonists started the fire to burn down our sign and started about a 30-acre wildfire, burned their grazing land, harmed their property and its just sad that would happen here," Sheehy said. "We can still disagree, we can still respect each other in this country. We don't have to do things like this." Grateful to the Montanans who helped respond to this fire on Saturday before it did even more damage. While the investigation remains underway, this type of dangerous, reckless violence has no place in Montana. Terrible way for these folks to start the Christmas week, but they... The Park County Sheriff's Office said on Facebook on Monday it had obtained video evidence of a person shooting a firework out of a moving vehicle and igniting the dry grass before heading west on I-90. "It was definitely someone setting off fireworks at the sign," Park County Rural Fire District Chief Dann Babcox , referencing law enforcement reports. A call to the sheriff's office on Friday seeking any update or arrest information was not immediately returned. "Very disappointing, really tough way for these families to enter the Christmas week," Sheehy continued in his video. "It's effected several families here, including some structures, its a tough way for these people to have to start the holiday season."

President-elect Donald Trump ‘s second term could provide for-profit prisons an economic and regulatory boon amid Trump’s plans to deport people living in the country illegally . Private Prisons: Corecivic Inc CXW and Geo Group Inc GEO are the two largest private prison operators in the United States. Geo Group owns 50 facilities and 64,502 beds across the U.S. concentrated in the South and Southwest. In 2023, CoreCivic operated 43 facilities with approximately 65,000 beds, according to company filings. The facilities include migrant detention centers and minimum-to-medium security prisons. Private prisons are a topic of debate given their for-profit nature and alleged human rights abuses. According to the University of Chicago Law School, labor conditions in private prisons are poor. The majority of prisoners are forced to work, often for wages under a dollar per hour, or face solitary confinement or loss of visitation rights. The report found that prisoners produce at least $2 billion annually in goods and over $9 billion in maintenance services. In August 2016, then-President Barack Obama announced a plan to reduce and eliminate the use of private prisons in the U.S. Following Trump’s inauguration for his first term in 2017, Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded Obama’s memorandum, saying the decision “impaired the Bureau’s ability to meet the future needs of the federal correctional system.” The stock prices of Geo and CoreCivic subsequently rallied over 30%. As of July 2024, there were 662,566 “noncitizens” with criminal histories on ICE's national docket, which includes those detained by ICE and on the agency's non-detained docket. Of those, 435,719 are convicted criminals and 226,847 have pending criminal charges. Trump’s Immigration Plan: Future immigration enforcement, an issue Trump made central to his 2016, 2020, and 2024 campaigns, would require detention centers, perhaps operated by Geo and CoreCivic. The ACLU found in 2023 that over 90% of migrants detained by ICE were held in privately owned facilities. In a CNN interview , Tom Homan , Trump’s incoming border czar, said the government needs a minimum of 100,000 beds to carry out Trump’s immigration plan. This represents a more than 100% increase over current capacity. He also elaborated on the extent to which Trump will carry out deportation. "I don't have a number. We want to arrest as many people as we can that are in the country illegally," Homan said. "If you're here illegally, you're not off the table. It's a violation of the law; it's a crime to enter this country illegally." The American Immigration Council, a pro-immigration advocacy group, says there were around 11 million people living in the U.S. illegally in 2022, roughly 3% of the country’s population. The council estimates that a deportation plan would cost at least $315 billion. Why it Matters: Geo Group and CoreCivic also appear to be preparing for the future demand for detention centers. On Dec. 16, Geo Group announced a $70 million capital expenditure plan to expand ICE service capabilities. In September, short-seller Andrew Left called Geo Group the “default play” for a Trump presidency given his positions on immigration enforcement. The market at large also seems convinced. Geo Group’s stock has risen over 86% since election day, while CoreCivic’s stock has risen over 58%.

Biden administration officials said this month that at least eight telecommunications companies , as well as dozens of nations, had been affected by the Chinese hacking blitz known as Salt Typhoon. But Anne Neuberger, the deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technologies, told reporters Friday that a ninth victim had been identified after the administration released guidance to companies about how to hunt for Chinese culprits in their networks. The update from Neuberger is the latest development in a massive hacking operation that has alarmed national security officials, exposed cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the private sector and laid bare China’s hacking sophistication. The hackers compromised the networks of telecommunications companies to obtain customer call records and gain access to the private communications of “a limited number of individuals.” Though the FBI has not publicly identified any of the victims, officials believe senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures are among those whose whose communications were accessed.

Officials believe the goal of the hackers was to identify who owned the phones and, if they were “government targets of interest,” spy on their texts and phone calls, she said. The FBI said most of the people targeted by the hackers are “primarily involved in government or political activity.” Neuberger said the episode highlighted the need for required cybersecurity practices in the telecommunications industry, something the Federal Communications Commission is to take up at a meeting next month. “We know that voluntary cyber security practices are inadequate to protect against China, Russia and Iran hacking of our critical infrastructure,” she said. The Chinese government has denied responsibility for the hacking.

AP Trending SummaryBrief at 4:46 p.m. ESTPresident Jimmy Carter at the White House, in Washington, U.S. March 8, 1977. Library of Congress/Reuters Jon Hartley is a research fellow at the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and affiliated scholar at the Mercatus Center. Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter died on Sunday at age 100. That makes the economic legacy of Mr. Carter’s decisions a timely matter to examine. One issue that policymakers around the world should reflect on in these newly inflationary times is that America’s inflation fighting of the 1980s was set in motion by Mr. Carter in the form of deregulation and hawkish monetary policy – well before the Reagan Revolution, the phenomenon associated with Mr. Carter’s successor, to whom the credit is often given. At the end of the 1970s, the U.S. economy was plagued by inflation and financial market volatility. Jimmy Carter, former U.S. president and Nobel Peace Prize winner, dies at 100 Several Federal Reserve chairs, including Arthur Burns, William Miller and Frederick Schultz (in an acting capacity), all had failed to tackle inflation head-on, with dire consequences: inflationary spirals that ravaged the financial well-being of Americans, especially those at or below the median income. In late July, 1979, Mr. Carter nominated Paul Volcker, then the hawkish president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, to head the central bank. While sitting on the Federal Open Market Committee, Mr. Volcker had made it clear he was in favour of more aggressive interest rate increases. He took action in fighting inflation with increases that past Fed chairs had been too afraid to introduce, eventually raising interest rates to a peak of 21.5 per cent in 1981. Despite contributing to a significant labour market pullback that included unemployment above 10 per cent, the hikes pushed inflation, which had peaked at 14.8 per cent in 1980, to fall below 3 per cent by 1983. The episode is still cited by economists and textbooks as one of the greatest empirical examples of how raising interest rates can reduce inflation by lowering aggregate demand. Opinion: Remembering Jimmy Carter, a presidential study in contradiction and high conduct In 1983, President Ronald Reagan reappointed Mr. Volcker to a second term, beginning a long tradition of reappointing Fed chairs (even across party lines) that would last 35 years and further enshrine central bank independence. President Carter’s initial decision had important long-term consequences. The Carter-Volcker inflation-fighting legacy is a lesson that President Joe Biden, current Fed chair Jay Powell and other Federal Reserve officials should remember as they continue their quest to vanquish the early 2020s inflation spike – after initially hesitating, in the mistaken belief that inflation would subside on its own, without central bank intervention.

Robert Franklin/The Associated Press Mr. Carter also played a substantial role in the deregulation of many industries in the United States in the late 20th century. In 1978, he signed the Airline Deregulation Act into law, which removed federal government control over the industry, paving the way for low-cost carriers such as Southwest Airlines. Later that same year, he also signed into law the Energy Act, legislation that would deregulate oil and gas prices and later increase the supply of energy, lowering prices further. It also ended a period in which natural gas was blocked from entering interstate markets from producing states. Deregulating many other industries would follow, even after the Carter administration. This practice has its critics, who say it erodes the rights of workers, but it has unquestionably resulted in further reducing prices and thus improving consumer welfare, especially for those below the median income, as inflation is historically higher for the poor. While Mr. Reagan often gets the credit for deregulation and fighting inflation – he was in office during most of Mr. Volcker’s term at the Fed – some of the seeds of the Reagan Revolution were planted by a kind peanut farmer from Georgia named Jimmy Carter.
