jili hot games In December, the world will have an average of 48 daily scheduled passenger Boeing 747 flights operated by Air China, Lufthansa, Korean Air, Mahan Air (briefly), and Rossiya (briefly). According to Cirium Diio, the number fell from 55 daily in December 2023 (-13%), partly because of the exit of Asiana and Saudia. Reflecting technological evolution, a shift to much more efficient (but more expensive to acquire) twinjets, and COVID-influenced earlier retirements, flights have fallen from 199 daily in December 2019 (-76%). Of course, the figures would be much worse if only the 747-400 , and not the Boeing 747-8 , were considered. The destination last saw Emirates' A380s in 2020. The longest 747 flights: December 2024 When Air China, Lufthansa, Korean Air, Mahan Air, and Rossiya are combined, they plan 26 passenger 747 routes. Some 22 are international, and four are domestic. The somewhat dodgy map shows them. They include Mahan Air from Mashhad to Baghdad and Rossiya from Moscow Sheremetyevo to Sochi. The average stage length is 3,996 nautical miles (4,701 km) . Due to a more significant proportion of longer international services, it has increased by 2.5% year-on-year and by more than a fifth compared to 2019. Now, the world's top 10 747-operated passenger flights are as follows. The following list is based on the Great Circle distance. Korean Air will resume 747-8 flights to London Heathrow from December 13 to 25. Like some other routes, it will not overfly Russia, so it would, in reality, be long enough to make the cut. However, as it would be impossible to do this accurately for all routes, the Great Circle is used. Note: Beijing Capital-New York JFK would be the longest service based on block time.

Comparing December 2024 with 2023 shows that Beijing Capital-New York JFK and Seoul Incheon-Los Angeles have joined the list. In December 2023, Air China served JFK on the 777-300ER, with the 747-8 reappearing in January 2024. Meanwhile, Korean Air's double daily Los Angeles link was on the A380 and 777-300ER. Now it's on the A380 and 747-8. They knocked out Korean Air's Seoul Incheon-Paris CDG and Lufthansa's Frankfurt-San Francisco from the top 10 list. While CDG now sees Korean Air's 777-300ERs, Lufthansa continues to fly the 747-8 to San Francisco. It's just not long enough to be included.Article content City council will begin its budget deliberations Monday with a starting increase of 3.52 per cent. The city’s share of the increase is 1.30 per cent while levies and local boards account for the remaining 2.23 per cent. That’s down from the 3.74 per cent increase presented in preliminary numbers to council last month. The slight change is primarily due to fine-tuning of the Sault Ste. Marie Police Services budget, where several funding sources were found that reduced their projected budget increase of $3.1 million by $520,000. The District of Sault Ste. Marie Social Services Administration Board came in with its budget slightly lower than the predicted 2 per cent increase planned by city council, saving a further $6,500. However, Algoma Public Health’s budget has been finalized at $216,192 above a two per cent expected increase. The three major factors reduce the budget by $310,349, resulting in a lower starting point for council, a report to council states. The city has about $223.3 million of expenses. It receives $76.8 million in revenue, including the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund, leaving a $146.1 million municipal tax levy that is absorbed by taxpayers. For each $1.46 million spent by city council, the levy increases by one per cent. A capital budget is proposed at $44.8 million. Council will be presented with a number of amendments recommended by CAO Tom Vair. Those recommendations include the installation of automated speed enforcement, additional downtown security, and additional staff complements. The automated speed enforcement technology at a one-time cost of $110,000 is being recommended. The report suggests the cost of implementing the units can come from the asset management reserve fund. It’s estimated the city will net $145,000 annually from the program, which means the system will pay for itself and the purchase will have a net 0 impact on the levy. Downtown security increase costing $200,000 will be funded at the sum of $150000, which will be brought to council in 2026 to determine if it is to remain allocated to the program or reallocated elsewhere in the operational budget. Six additional staff complement increases totalling $561,092 are also recommended for council’s approval, including a records and election coordinator at the cost of $59,776, an application support analyst-programmer at $132,602, a public works maintenance employee at $87,056, an events assistant at $98,084, a legal clerical research assistant at $93,983 and a cultural industries coordinator at $100,591. Mayor Matthew Shoemaker is also recommending a number of amendments to the budget. He’s suggesting a reduction of the increase to capital reserves from $419,170 down to $69,170 to save $350,000. He wants to use that $350,000 to fund library security ($45,000), cultural vitality attractions ($30,000 each to the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre, Sault Ste. Marie Museum and Art Gallery of Algoma). He also wants to add $120,000 to the budget for parks, with a further $240,000 funded through the park subdivider reserve. Physician recruitment would also receive an additional $50,000 to attract and retain more primary care providers and $50,000 would be added to the community development fund for social equity and local priorities.

Health insurance CEO murder unleashes Internet vitriol aimed at industryTax Reform Bills aim to benefit all Nigerians, Presidency assures

Howze, Regan take seats on Council: Martinez becomes 69th Hanford MayorSince J. Edgar Hoover died in 1972 — after 48 years of leading the FBI — the seven men chosen to lead the premier law enforcement agency had previous experience as senior lawmen, senior federal prosecutors and federal judges. If President-elect Donald Trump has his way, the agency will instead be headed by a political loyalist who has pledged to use his powers to target the president’s political opponents. Kash Patel, 44, is a former junior-level federal prosecutor who was a White House aide in Trump’s first administration. That’s drawing scrutiny not just from Democrats, but from at least one Senate Republican. RELATED STORY | Mother of Pete Hegseth reportedly told son he was an 'abuser of women' in email South Dakota Republican Mike Rounds expressed support for current FBI Director Chris Wray — who Trump appointed after firing predecessor James Comey in 2017. “The president has the right to make nominations, but normally these are for a 10-year term. We'll see what his process is and whether he actually makes that nomination,” Rounds said Sunday during an interview on ABC News’ “This Week.” It would also be the second time Trump removed an FBI director before the end of the congressionally mandated 10-year term, which is designed to allow FBI directors to outlast the presidential administration. Since the end of the first Trump Administration, Patel has been actively engaged with the Make America Great Again movement supporting Trump. He was also one of the select group of supporters who accompanied Trump during the trial earlier this year in Manhattan that led to Trump being convicted of 34 felony counts related to falsifying corporate documents. RELATED STORY | Here's who Trump has asked to join his administration He has also said that a charity he operates provides financial help to families of people charged in connection with the January 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol. In an interview with conservative strategist Steve Bannon, Patel said he and others “will go out and find the conspirators not just in government but in the media.” ”We’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections,” Patel said, referring to the 2020 presidential election in which Biden, the Democratic challenger, defeated Trump. “We’re going to come after you, whether it’s criminally or civilly. We’ll figure that out. But yeah, we’re putting you all on notice.” In an interview earlier this year on the “Shawn Ryan Show,” Patel vowed to sever the FBI’s intelligence-gathering activities from the rest of its mission and said he would “shut down” the bureau’s headquarters building on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., and “reopen it the next day as a museum of the ‘deep state.’” Rounds, meanwhile, praised Wray and said he saw no reason he should be removed. “Chris Wray, who the president nominated the first time around — I think the president picked a very good man to be the director of the FBI when he did that in his first term,” Rounds said. “When we meet with him behind closed doors, I've had no objections to the way that he's handled himself, and so I don't have any complaints about the way that he's done his job right now.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A 17-year-old hockey player in New York died after a “sudden medical event” during a game on Saturday evening, leaving a community shocked by the tragic loss. Connor Kasin was a 12th grade student at Massapequa High School, Fox News reported on Sunday. The outlet noted that first responders were called to the scene when the incident occurred. When the young man collapsed, several people at the game performed CPR until first responders arrived to take over: In a letter to faculty and students, the school said, “It is heartbreaking to report that Connor did not survive. His passing is devastating to the Massapequa community, and we offer our deepest condolences to Connor’s family and friends.” Kasin apparently lost consciousness between periods of the game at the Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center in Bethpage, Long Island, per SILive.com: Kasin was rushed to the hospital as well before it was announced he had passed away. His cause of death is unknown. Authorities said no criminality is suspected. Ironically, Kasin, who competed for the Sharks Elite Youth Hockey team, was taking part in a charity game in memory of Sabrina Navaretta, who died in a car crash last year. Navaretta was a Syosset HS graduate. The charity contest was hosted by a foundation looking to raise funds to offer support to grieving parents who lost a child. “I’m hurt. I’m honesty still stunned,” one young community member said of the news. “Just pray for him and pray for the people around him. It’s honestly, it’s very sad. Heartbreaking.” One of his coaches, Jeff Tempone, said , “It was devastating. He’s a 17-year-old kid. He’s got his whole life ahead of him.” In September, a Florida high school football player collapsed on the field during a game and died, Breitbart News reported, noting it was one of “a string of several teen athlete deaths across the nation.”

Could you be the next jackpot winner? Play for free!Mikel Arteta has urged Arsenal to end their away day blues in the Champions League by beating Sporting Lisbon . The Gunners have struggled away from home in Europe’s elite club competition under Arteta, winning just one of seven games on the road. Arsenal have lost all of their last four away games in the Champions League and failed to find the net in that time, too. A trip to Sporting is next up on Tuesday and Arteta believes it is a good moment for his side to make a statement. “It’s certainly something we have to improve,” he said. “We have the right steps, and looking back at the way we played against Inter, against a team that has been so dominant in the league, were in the Champions League final and should have won it. “We played and dominated the game we should have won. But the reality is you have to make it happen, and we didn’t. “Those steps are what we have to take next, be ruthless and be much more efficient in the opposition box, and when we get there do what we have to do to take the three points away from here. “Not all of the games have been the same. It’s true that some of those games were when we’d already qualified. “But it’s true we have to improve the results and we have to find the ways to understand what has been missing. “Sometimes it’s been performance to be fair, and sometimes it’s been different aspects, and that’s the next step we have to make as a team.” Arsenal’s lack of goals has been a particular worry and the last player to score for them away from home in the Champions League was Eddie Nketiah in December of last year. “The efficiency we have shown inside the box, at this level, with the number of chances you are normally able to generate in the Champions League, has not been at the level that is required to win consistently,” he said. “I always say the Champions League is about the boxes, small margins and details, and you have to get all those right to win, especially away from home.”

A Nov. 21 Threads post ( , ) offers a purported comment from a congresswoman about the scale of misconduct by her colleagues. “BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene says if every member of Congress had to resign for doing what Matt Gaetz has been accused of, ‘Democrats would have a supermajority,” the post reads. The post was shared more than 200 times in five days. | | The claim originated as satire on another social media account. There are no reliable reports of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene saying that, although she has insinuated that other members of Congress have had their misconduct covered up. Former Florida Rep. to become President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general quickly as of him using drugs, paying women for sex and having sex with a minor gained national attention. Gaetz has . The claims had been investigated by the House ethics committee, which on Gaetz after he resigned from Congress to pursue the appointment. Greene, a Republican from Georgia, has been an ally of Gaetz in the House, but the post fabricates the quote from her alleging similar improprieties by other members of Congress. The quote appears to have originated with a from The Halfway Post. , the account says it provides “Halfway true comedy and satire,” and “I don't report the facts, I improve them.” The Threads post from the same day is an example of what could be called “stolen satire,” where stories written as satire and presented that way originally are captured and reposted in a way that makes them appear to be legitimate news. As a result, readers of the second-generation post are misled, as was the case here. : Greene has, however, suggested that other members of Congress have covered up misconduct. In a addressed to her "Republican colleagues in the House and Senate" – when the House ethics committee was still considering releasing the report – she said “all the ethics reports and claims including the one I filed,” should be released, along with “sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled paying off victims with tax payer money.” The post ends with, “If we’re going to dance, let’s all dance in the sunlight. I’ll make sure we do.” However, the specific claim that Democrats would have a supermajority if the reports were so numerous − and possibly lopsided to one political party − that they could flip control of the House is not something she said on social media or in any reports from reliable news outlets. A supermajority is usually defined in Congress as a two-thirds majority. Republicans will have slim majorities in both houses when the next Congress is seated in January.USA TODAY could not reach the social media user who shared the claim for comment. and also debunked the claim.
