The decision to field Franck Kessie in place of Ismael Bennacer is a strategic one, aimed at maximizing Milan's chances of success in the Champions League. Kessie's physical presence and defensive abilities will be crucial in helping Milan navigate the challenges posed by some of Europe's top clubs. While Bennacer's skills are undeniable, Kessie's attributes bring a different dimension to Milan's midfield and offer a new tactical approach for the team.

Investors and analysts around the world are closely monitoring the developments, with expectations running high that the BOJ may be preparing to raise interest rates for the first time in years. The Japanese economy, despite facing challenges in recent years, has shown signs of resilience and growth, prompting policymakers to consider adjusting their stance on monetary policy.have had a great year thanks to large share price gains. While the biggest banks have grabbed the headlines, it could be time to look beyond the big four ASX bank shares as opportunities for next year. It's certainly impressive , and the ( ) share price has soared 40%. But I'd argue that those banks are now priced very highly for the profit they could make in the next three to five years. Instead, I'm looking at some of the other banks as opportunities. Here's why I like them. Macquarie Group Ltd ( ) Macquarie is another of Australia's largest financial institutions. With a of $85.25 billion, it is now slightly bigger than ( ), which has a market cap of $85.18 billion. But, I think Macquarie has much stronger growth potential than the big four ASX bank shares because it has global operations across multiple divisions, including investment banking, Macquarie Asset Management (MAM), and commodities and global markets (CGM). Macquarie is also looking to challenge the domestic Australian banks by growing in the mortgage and deposit segments of Australia's banking industry. With Donald Trump and the Republicans taking charge in the US, combined with the lower interest rates in the US, I think there could be much stronger deal flow in the US (and globally in general) for Macquarie to try to capture a piece of. This would be positive for earnings. According to the forecasts on Commsec, the Macquarie share price is valued at 23x FY25's estimated earnings and 19x FY26's estimated earnings. MyState Ltd ( ) MyState is a smaller ASX bank share with its headquarters in Tasmania, though it also has a sizeable presence across the mainland. I think there are three good reasons to like the banking business. First, the company is looking to merge with ( ). This merger is expected to deliver significant advantages for the company, including scale benefits, increased funding flexibility million, including the consolidation of technology platforms, integration of shared services, a "refined" leadership and management structure, and a consolidation of third-party providers. Second, the business trades on a more appealing than the major ASX bank shares. According to Commsec, the Mystate share price is valued at 12.5x FY25's forecast earnings and 10.8x FY26's forecast earnings. Third, the ASX bank share offers a very appealing (which is expected to grow). According to Commsec, it could pay a grossed-up dividend yield of 7.9% in FY25 and 8.5% in FY26, including .Kearny, NJ, Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StarV, a leader in wearable augmented reality (AR) innovation, has officially launched its highly anticipated Indiegogo campaign for two breakthrough AR smart glasses: StarV Air1 - MYVU and StarV View We also officially launched sales on StarV website and opening pre-orders to global users through both channels.

One of the key features of Barn Chic is its emphasis on sustainability and authenticity. By repurposing old barn doors as statement pieces, or using reclaimed wood for accessories, designers are paying homage to the history and craftsmanship of the farming community. This nod to tradition adds a touch of nostalgia to the trend, reminding us of our roots and the importance of preserving the past.I’m a center-right “Scoop Jackson” moderate Democrat marooned on an island in today’s deep-blue Washington. My friends and I celebrate local election victories while our governor-elect appears eager to fight the incoming Trump administration. He will get the chance. Let’s remember. After four years of chaos, President Biden’s election was promised as a “return to normality.” It wasn’t. He quickly jettisoned normality for a progressive agenda. The Inflation Reduction Act did little to reduce inflation. It was in many ways a green wave, packed with spending on clean energy programs. Gov. Jay Inslee dropped his 2020 presidential run in the primary but his policies were adopted by Biden. And while we live in a state that buys into the green wave, voters nationally don’t. Our progressive blinders in Washington render us unable to focus on how to make our Democratic party once again nationally relevant. It’s national relevance that counts. And it’s not helped when the question asked is: “How could voters be so stupid?” But voters aren’t stupid. We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. And each of us has our own lens through which we see the world. Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat — and Donald Trump’s win — in the presidential election this year was sealed the day when Harris answered what James Carville calls “the money question.” A slow softball over-the-plate candidates beg for: Would she have done something differently than President Biden over the past four years? Her answer: “There is not a thing that comes to mind.” Biden’s popularity, at that moment: Around 43% approval. As Carville noted, in an election where voters are angry, “That’s the most devastating answer you could imagine.” Elections are built around perceptions. Trump won because voters wanted a change, and a strong leader, looking past that he is a racist and misogynist. They wanted “different.” They were angry about the price of eggs and their values being disparaged. “Equal opportunity,” not “equality” and a pox on a Democrat party built on the green wave, identity politics, and special interests like the diversity, equity, and inclusion movement and concepts like restorative justice. But time to stop grieving. This is not our first bad rodeo. Remember Hubert Humphrey on Vietnam, Hillary Clinton’s botched approach to “fly over country” and Ronald Reagan’s trouncing of Jimmy Carter — even here in Washington. Everyone in Democratic politics has an opinion on what to do. We need to better align our economic and social-cultural values with our voters. Our voters previously saw us as helping the underdogs. No more. They see us as upper-class white elitists. We need to revive something akin to the “Democrat Leadership Conference” chaired by former Arkansas governor Bill Clinton. It propelled Clinton to the presidency. To win, we need a course correction toward “it’s just the economy, stupid,” and less “identity politics,” which we have increasingly relied on for 20 years, gathering speed after George Floyd’s murder in 2020. We aren’t elitists. We are for working families, who have increasingly turned to Trump. I am old enough to remember shop class and home economics as required high school courses, and auto repair as an elective. Today, it’s Advanced Placement classes and college credits in high school. To earn a college degree is the gold standard. That’s misguided thinking and it’s part of the reason we are losing our base. These days, in many cases, getting your hands dirty will earn you more money than practicing law. U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, who twice defeated a Trump acolyte in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District, once a reliably GOP seat, recognizes this in how she talks about the trades and the nation’s workforce. Progressives were dumbstruck when she voted with Republicans against forgiving billions of dollars worth of college loans. To again become nationally relevant, Democrats must focus on the economy and more importantly how voters – district by district – perceive it. The key is for candidates and members of Congress to represent their districts, not progressive orthodoxy. That’s how Scoop Jackson, the “war hawk,” overwhelmingly defeated progressive Carl Maxey in 1968. It’s how Gluesenkamp Perez beat back her MAGA opponent. And it’s how U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse, a farmer who voted to impeach Trump, won against a candidate endorsed by the former president in a district east of the Cascades. Things in Washington state are unlikely to change in terms of how the state’s politics are leaning more heavily progressive. But in national elections, we don’t count. ••• Jim Luce is a retired Bonneville Power Administration attorney.

Arteta wanted his team to prove their European credentials following some underwhelming displays away from home, and the Gunners manager got exactly what he asked for. Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got their continental campaign back on track in style following the 1-0 defeat at Inter Milan last time out. A memorable victory also ended Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season, a streak of 17 wins and one draw, the vast majority of which prompted Manchester United to prise away head coach Ruben Amorim. The Gunners had failed to win or score in their two away games in the competition so far this season, but they made a blistering start in the Portuguese capital and took the lead after only seven minutes. Declan Rice fed overlapping full-back Jurrien Timber, who curled a low cross in behind the home defence for Martinelli to finish at the far post. Arsenal doubled their lead in the 20th minute thanks to a glorious ball over the top from Thomas Partey. Saka escaped the clutches of his marker Maximiliano Araujo to beat the offside trap and poke the ball past advancing goalkeeper Franco Israel for Havertz to tap home. It was a scintillating first-half display which completely overshadowed the presence of Viktor Gyokeres in Sporting’s attack. The prolific Sweden striker, formerly of Coventry, has been turning the heads of Europe’s top clubs with his 24 goals in 17 games this season – including a hat-trick against Manchester City earlier this month. But the only time he got a sniff of a run at goal after an optimistic long ball, he was marshalled out of harm’s way by Gabriel. David Raya was forced into one save, tipping a fierce Geovany Quenda drive over the crossbar. But Arsenal added a third on the stroke of half-time, Gabriel charging in to head Rice’s corner into the back of the net. To rub salt in the wound, the Brazilian defender mimicked Gyokeres’ hands-over-his-face goal celebration. That may have wound Sporting up as they came out after the interval meaning business, and they pulled one back after Raya tipped Hidemasa Morita’s shot behind, with Goncalo Inacio netting at the near post from the corner. Former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards fired over, as did Gyokeres, with Arsenal temporarily on the back foot. But when Martin Odegaard’s darting run into the area was halted by Ousmane Diomande’s foul, Saka tucked away the penalty. Substitute Trossard added the fifth with eight minutes remaining, heading in the rebound after Mikel Merino’s shot was saved, and Gyokeres’ miserable night was summed up when his late shot crashed back off the post.

It's safe to say Arnott's biscuits have lived rent-free in my brain for almost the entirety of 2024, if not longer. It was during my son's time in hospital six years ago that my family's love of these delicious treats was cemented. He'd broken his arm and needed surgery then additional care after he developed an infection. Sleeping by his bedside for nights on end, I was introduced to the parents' and carers' space, which included showering facilities and a kitchen with appliances and snacks including cereals, fruit and those little two-packs of Arnott's biscuits you normally find at work conferences. READ MORE: TV station under fire amid scandal, prime minister's office involved Fun fact: you can buy boxes of these two-packs of Arnott's biscuits at Officeworks. Mine and my son's favourite combo was the one with a Scotch Finger biscuit and a choc-chip cookie in it. There were also plenty of Nice biscuits at the hospital , which became my son's favourite. We'd both have cups of tea and biscuits whenever we were feeling tired and sad, and continue this shared activity to this day, through him leaving school, during his recent exams, and even just because. So earlier this year when Nice biscuits disappeared from shelves, we understandably panicked, and were so relieved when they returned.

(And if you keep these in the fridge they become so delicious and chewy.) 9Honey readers have been equally invested in these incidents of missing Arnott's biscuits, with many reporting other 'missing' varieties on our social media accounts. It was after talking to a colleague that I was reminded of where many of these 'missing' biscuits may be. I used to work at Bankstown Airport as a traffic reporter for the Australian Traffic Network, and there was a Super IGA at George's Hall I'd stop at to get biscuits for me and my team to see us through long and busy shifts. I remember feeling so happy at the varieties they stocked – so many more than my local Coles and Woolies. I visited again this weekend, and found most of the 'missing' biscuits. Check them out in the gallery below! So exciting. There were some I didn't locate: Scalliwags (formerly Golliwogs), Morning Coffee, Lattice, Honey Jumbles and Custard Creams. Arnott's Australia offered 9Honey a comment on the Custard Creams but hasn't yet commented on the other varieties, but I will stay on the case. For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here . "For nearly 160 years, Arnott's has been baking some of Australia's most iconic biscuits and crackers," their statement read. "Sometimes we have to make the difficult decision with our retail partners on the products we continue to produce at our bakeries around Australia and sell on supermarket shelves. "With the changing tastes and preferences of our Australian consumers, we have retired the production of Arnott's Custard Creams." Super IGA stores are at select locations, but IGA also has some smaller stores in most locations and a great online store where I often stock up on products only IGA sells, such as my daughter's favourite gluten-free bread and Fantastic chicken-flavoured rice crackers. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can come between me and my family and our favourite biscuits. So, enjoy! With coffee or tea or whatever your favourite comforting beverage is.
