When the Nebraska football team gathered for its Thursday practice prior to the Wisconsin game, offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen wanted to see a game-ready unit. Anything other than the best wasn’t good enough, and Holgorsen backed it up. The players who made mistakes, even committing false start penalties during that practice didn’t play on Saturday because of it, Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule said. Those who did their job got their chance, though, with Rhule identifying senior wide receiver Isiaha Garcia-Castaneda as one such beneficiary. So while Holgorsen’s playcalling was part of Nebraska’s 44-point outburst against the Badgers, his general approach is what Rhule appreciates most. “You hear Dana on the headset, the whole time he’s just talking about execution,” Rhule said. “... There’s a real focus on execution and when the guys execute the play calls. I think that was the message to the guys — if you execute and practice at a high level, you’re going to have an opportunity to play in the game.” People are also reading... Changes have been limited in Holgorsen’s short time as NU’s offensive coordinator, but he did make sure the Huskers scaled back the number of plays in their playbook. “We’re still doing a lot,” Rhule said, while crediting assistant coaches Glenn Thomas, Garret McGuire and Marcus Satterfield for their work in helping Holgorsen get accustomed to the team’s offensive setup. A “collaborative” gameplanning process that involves those coaches poring over game film and strategy together has led to results, but Rhule again emphasized that improvements from the players, not the coaches, is what has led to better results. Nebraska offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen coaches during the game against Wisconsin on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. When Nebraska was in rhythm on Saturday and stayed ahead of the chains, the Huskers were nearly impossible to slow down. When penalties, turnovers or miscues like snapping on the wrong count happened, though, the offense’s progress was halted. The clear difference? Execution. “It’s kind of a blend of everything we’ve been trying to say to them all year coming to life,” Rhule said of Nebraska’s 44-point performance. “I think the thing Dana’s done a great job is, he’s cut things down to a degree, but he’s demanding that they execute if they want to get on the field.” Nebraska also couldn’t have cut apart the Wisconsin defense without a reinvigorated showing from quarterback Dylan Raiola. Having thrown at least one interception in his previous five starts, Raiola finished the game turnover-free for the first time since September. The freshman also completed 28-of-38 passes for 293 yards and one touchdown, his biggest passing output other than a 297-yard performance against Illinois. Part of the reason for the turnaround was health-related following the back injury Raiola suffered against UCLA. Held out of practice over the bye, Raiola was “ginger” the whole game against USC according to Rhule but was more comfortable with moving around and sliding up in the pocket last Saturday. Getting the ball out quickly and accurately also helped Raiola’s timing within the offense. “He was just taking completions, taking what was there and not trying to do too much,” Rhule said of Raiola. “Playing as a freshman in the Big Ten is really, really hard; it requires tough people and I think Dylan’s been tough in that he’s gotten better every week.” Nebraska’s progress will be tested in a matchup against the nation’s No. 12 scoring defense, an Iowa unit that is allowing just 17.7 points per game. Another week with Holgorsen at the helm will help Nebraska with that challenge as the Huskers look to build on their recent offensive surge. “Just the rhythm of the way he does things means total sense to me,” Rhule said of Holgorsen. “... If I coach with Dana for one more week or if we coach together for the next 10 years, I’ll be a better coach as a result.” Photos: Nebraska football hosts Wisconsin on senior day — Nov. 23 Nebraska players carry the Freedom Trophy after defeating Wisconsin, Saturday, Nov. 23, 2024, at Memorial Stadium.

Larson Financial Group LLC Buys 379 Shares of DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (NYSE:DD)Platform sharing is all but necessary to run a successful car company in the modern world, but which automakers have done it best? Last week we asked you that exciting question and you sounded off. From the logical answers to the absurd, our readers didn’t disappoint. My answer for the best example of platform sharing was the General Motors B Platform, which provided the underpinnings of some of my favorite cars from the nineties. I’m talking about the Buick Roadmaster, Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, and Chevrolet Caprice estate wagons of the early 1990s. Of course it also underpinned the sedans, but the wagons are so much cooler. From platforms that facilitated some of the finest family cars ever produced, to some of the finest sports cars ever produced, platform sharing allows automakers to invest massive sums of money into the development of new technology and new cars as a whole. We have platform sharing to thank for some of the most loved cars of all time, and these are the best of the best.
Dictionary.com has revealed its pick for the 2024 word of the year , and TikToker Jools Lebron is to thank for sparking the "very mindful" craze. The word of the year is " demure, " which has been around for centuries but took on new meaning over the summer after Lebron went viral in a video showcasing how she did her makeup for work. "Very demure, very mindful," she said in a tone clearly dripping with sarcasm. From there the term took off, dominating the algorithm with videos of others showing how they were "demure," "mindful" and "cutesy." Lebron racked up followers, with a current count of 2.3 million, posting more and more videos with that signature tongue-in-cheek style. Brat summer is over. Get ready for 'demure' fall, a new viral TikTok trend. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Lebron said the meme was born when she was on break from her cashier job, crying in her car. She pulled out her phone to check whether her makeup was running and shot the video. "That video changed my life," she said, before encouraging her followers to post their own content. Newest internet villain? Man files trademark for Jools Lebron's 'very mindful, very demure' Demure definition: Why is it the Dictionary.com word of the year? Dictionary.com defines the adjective demure as "characterized by shyness and modesty; reserved." Meant to reflect the "social trends and global events that defined the year," the word of the year is often one that has seen a sharp increase in usage or taken on a different definition in the modern lexicon, the site reports. "Demure" has done both. Between January and the end of August, the word saw an increase of almost 1200% in digital web usage alone, according to Dictionary.com. Lebron also brought a new definition into focus. Her content is as much about actually being demure as it is poking fun at the concept. A makeup artist and influencer, she is a self-described "plus-size trans woman" making her way in the world of internet stardom. While traditionally demure held a connotation of being somewhat bland or modest, Lebron's page is anything but. She leans into humor, addresses her fan base as "divas" and often sports winged-eyeliner glam. For Lebron, "demure" means elegant, sophisticated and, most of all, minding your own business. As various other dictionaries prepare to announce their words of the year it is not yet clear which zeitgeist-y term will reign supreme. Honorable mentions for word of the year from Dictionary.com were "brainrot," "brat, " and " extreme weather." Is Brat summer really over? Collins Dictionary selects 'brat' as 2024 Word of the Year "Demure" has also made Oxford University Press' shortlist for word of the year. Other contenders include "lore," " romantasy" and "dynamic pricing." Should Lebron's phrase win, it might reflect a hunger for calm after a year that has been anything but "demure." Contributing: Cheyenne DerksenSupporters wave flags as Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris delivers remarks, conceding the election to Donald Trump, at Howard University on Nov 6. I do not claim to know a lot about American politics. For better or worse, my knowledge about the topic is restricted to the names of a few American politicians, how the Electoral College system works, and a handful of policies that lawmakers have tabled over the years. As such, I do not have a strongly informed opinion on the recent elections there, like many others do. However, I have observed that opinions on the matter have been extremely polarising. One’s choice of candidate is often framed as a moral choice. For this reason, debate on the matter often ends up being emotionally charged, leaving both sides feeling hurt and misunderstood. One of my American friends in Singapore commented that such conflicts permanently alter the complexion of relationships. This phenomenon is not unique to the US, and it is timely for us to look at Singaporeans’ tolerance towards diverse opinions. Are we intolerant towards different views? Edelman’s 2023 Trust Barometer Report revealed that 44 per cent of Singaporeans believed the lack of civility and mutual respect then was the worst they had ever seen. Fewer than one in three Singaporeans also said they would be willing to help someone in need if they strongly disagreed with that person. It would appear therefore that we are relatively intolerant. But does it have to be this way? It may be painful to realise that those we care about disagree with opinions we fervently hold on to. However, efforts to weave a stronger social fabric in Singapore begin with the individual. Could we consider seeking to understand differences in opinions and choose to remain civil despite these differences?

However, as soon as the treatment began, it became clear that something was amiss. The clinic, which claimed to be a reputable beauty center, lacked the necessary qualifications and certifications to perform the procedure safely. The woman's legs were subjected to a series of injections and treatments that left her in excruciating pain and with severe swelling and discoloration.In conclusion, as China charts a course towards a new era of economic development, the decisions made at the Central Politburo meeting will play a pivotal role in shaping the country's future. By staying true to the principles of innovation, reform, inclusivity, and digitalization, China is poised to emerge stronger and more resilient in the years to come. We can look forward to witnessing the transformational impact of these policies on the economy and society as a whole in 2025 and beyond.
Steph, Warriors have ‘sour taste' in mouth after last two lossesBy recognising farm animals as silent stakeholders in their value chains, companies can drive meaningful change that resonates with societal values and global standards Farm animal welfare (FAW) is a pressing ethical concern within the global food industry, yet it remains glaringly absent in many corporate sustainability reports. In Sri Lanka, where societal values are deeply interwoven with cultural, religious, and economic considerations, addressing this gap could redefine corporate responsibility. New research by Saviesha Samaraweera and Isuru Manawadu from the Department of Accounting at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura highlights the urgent need for farm animal welfare disclosures in sustainability reports of listed food companies, urging businesses to prioritise this critical issue. The study underscores a pivotal reality: while sustainability reporting has gained traction globally, the welfare of farm animals, integral to food supply chains, often remains overlooked. This omission not only compromises transparency but also undermines the ethical foundations of the food industry. The researchers argue that companies have a moral and operational obligation to integrate FAW into their policies and practices. Despite Sri Lanka’s rich cultural and religious heritage, which emphasises compassion for animals, corporate reporting often neglects this aspect. Many listed food companies on the Colombo Stock Exchange fail to reflect their farm animal footprint in their sustainability disclosures. This study identifies and examines the behavioural drivers influencing such gaps, offering critical insights for change. Samaraweera and Manawadu employed the theory of planned behaviour to explore the intentions of individuals involved in sustainability reporting to include FAW disclosures. The study analysed responses from CFOs, directors, managers, and other key personnel across 61 food companies with direct or indirect farm animal footprints. Using structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), the research revealed two key behavioural drivers influencing intentions: Perceived Behavioural Control (PBC): PBC emerged as the strongest determinant. Decision-makers with greater control over corporate practices, including CEOs, CFOs, and senior managers, were more likely to support FAW disclosures. This highlights the importance of empowering leadership with the knowledge, skills, and financial resources necessary to adopt new disclosure practices. Subjective norms: In Sri Lanka’s collectivist culture, societal expectations and the perceptions of family, colleagues, and community significantly influence individual behaviour. The study found that these social pressures strongly shape the intention to include FAW in sustainability reporting. Sri Lanka’s multi-religious ethos further amplifies this dynamic, as cultural, and religious values deeply influence societal norms around animal welfare. Farm animal welfare is not just an ethical obligation—it is a critical component of sustainability that intersects with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. Poor animal welfare practices can lead to environmental degradation, food safety concerns, and reputational risks for companies. Transparent reporting on FAW helps stakeholders, from investors to consumers, assess a company’s ethical and operational standards. The researchers stress that addressing FAW in sustainability reports is not merely a box-ticking exercise but a reflection of corporate accountability. By integrating FAW disclosures, companies can demonstrate their commitment to ethical practices and align themselves with global sustainability trends. One of the study’s most significant contributions is its call for standardised guidelines and mandatory regulations on FAW reporting in Sri Lanka. Regulatory bodies, such as the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare (BBFAW), can leverage these findings to enhance global reporting standards. At a national level, the Sri Lankan Government and legislative bodies are urged to establish statutory requirements for companies involved with farm animals in their supply chains. These regulations could pave the way for more transparent, ethical, and sustainable business practices. The study offers several practical recommendations for businesses and policymakers: Sri Lanka’s societal fabric offers a unique opportunity to lead by example in FAW reporting. The nation’s collectivist culture and strong religious and ethical values position it to champion this cause on a global scale. By prioritising FAW disclosures, Sri Lankan companies can set benchmarks for others in the region, showcasing how sustainability and ethics go hand in hand. This research is a clarion call for Sri Lanka’s food industry to rethink its approach to sustainability reporting. By recognising farm animals as silent stakeholders in their value chains, companies can drive meaningful change that resonates with societal values and global standards. As businesses strive to align with evolving sustainability expectations, integrating farm animal welfare into reporting practices is not just an option—it’s a necessity. This study by Saviesha Samaraweera and Isuru Manawadu offers a timely roadmap for achieving that goal, reminding us that true sustainability is inclusive, ethical, and accountable. “Farm animals may not have a voice, but through comprehensive sustainability reporting, Sri Lankan companies can ensure their welfare is no longer ignored.” The study was published in the journal, Frontiers in Animal Science, Volume 5, and is accessible via: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/animal-science/articles/10.3389/fanim.2024.1476959/full. The article’s DOI is 10.3389/fanim.2024.1476959. This publication provides an in-depth examination of the behavioural factors that influence the intention to include FAW disclosures in sustainability reporting, offering valuable recommendations for businesses, policymakers, and regulatory bodies.

They emphasized that personal growth and inner peace are key agents of change for creating a tolerant and harmonious community. The two-day event, titled“Building Bridges: Fostering Tolerance & Inclusivity among Youth,” was organized by the Islamabad-based think tank, Pak Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS). It gathered educators, students, activists, and civil society members to discuss the role of youth in shaping a peaceful future. Renowned scholar Dr. Qibla Ayaz, a member of the Shariat Appellate Bench of the Supreme Court, underscored that while Pakistan's constitutional framework ensures equal citizenship for all, societal issues stem from the social structure rather than the Constitution itself.“The Constitution provides equal rights to minorities, but societal attitudes need to align with these principles,” he said.

Dr. Rashid Ahmad from the University of Peshawar critiqued the current education system, labeling it misaligned with market demands. He stressed the need for educational reforms that harness youth potential and steer them toward meaningful contributions.“Our education policy neither meets market needs nor helps youth fully realize their potential,” he added. Political activist and lawyer Dileep Doshi led an engaging session on the evolution of human rights, emphasizing the state's responsibility to protect fundamental freedoms.“Human rights are universal and inalienable,” Doshi noted, urging youth to actively understand and defend their rights to build a just and equitable society. Dr. Syed Irfan Ashraf, a journalist and academic, spoke on“Blessing in Diversity,” emphasizing that language, culture, and society are key pillars of diversity. He explained that true diversity thrives on tolerance and called for raising voices against violence to safeguard cultural and religious differences. Motivational speaker Husnain Jamal delivered insights on“Crafting an Easy Life,” urging young people to embrace non-violence as a path to personal and societal peace. He shared global examples to illustrate how simplicity and non-violence contribute to a more peaceful existence. In his concluding remarks, PIPS President Muhammad Amir Rana stressed the importance of critical thinking in reducing faith-based conflict.“Critical thinking isn't about rejecting everything but viewing the world through a broader lens,” he said. He encouraged youth to engage with people from diverse backgrounds to nurture acceptance and inclusivity in society. The workshop concluded with a collective resolve to promote tolerance, peace, and inclusivity, reinforcing the pivotal role of youth in building bridges across divides for a more peaceful future.

By TOM KRISHER, Associated Press DETROIT (AP) — For a second time, a Delaware judge has nullified a pay package that Tesla had awarded its CEO, Elon Musk, that once was valued at $56 billion. On Monday, Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick turned aside a request from Musk’s lawyers to reverse a ruling she announced in January that had thrown out the compensation plan. The judge ruled then that Musk effectively controlled Tesla’s board and had engineered the outsize pay package during sham negotiations . Lawyers for a Tesla shareholder who sued to block the pay package contended that shareholders who had voted for the 10-year plan in 2018 had been given misleading and incomplete information. In their defense, Tesla’s board members asserted that the shareholders who ratified the pay plan a second time in June had done so after receiving full disclosures, thereby curing all the problems the judge had cited in her January ruling. As a result, they argued, Musk deserved the pay package for having raised Tesla’s market value by billions of dollars. McCormick rejected that argument. In her 103-page opinion, she ruled that under Delaware law, Tesla’s lawyers had no grounds to reverse her January ruling “based on evidence they created after trial.” On Monday night, Tesla posted on X, the social media platform owned by Musk, that the company will appeal. The appeal would be filed with the Delaware Supreme Court, the only state appellate court Tesla can pursue. Experts say a ruling would likely come in less than a year. “The ruling, if not overturned, means that judges and plaintiffs’ lawyers run Delaware companies rather than their rightful owners — the shareholders,” Tesla argued. Later, on X, Musk unleashed a blistering attack on the judge, asserting that McCormick is “a radical far left activist cosplaying as a judge.” Legal authorities generally suggest that McCormick’s ruling was sound and followed the law. Charles Elson, founding director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware, said that in his view, McCormick was right to rule that after Tesla lost its case in the original trial, it created improper new evidence by asking shareholders to ratify the pay package a second time. Had she allowed such a claim, he said, it would cause a major shift in Delaware’s laws against conflicts of interest given the unusually close relationship between Musk and Tesla’s board. “Delaware protects investors — that’s what she did,” said Elson, who has followed the court for more than three decades. “Just because you’re a ‘superstar CEO’ doesn’t put you in a separate category.” Elson said he thinks investors would be reluctant to put money into Delaware companies if there were exceptions to the law for “special people.” Elson said that in his opinion, the court is likely to uphold McCormick’s ruling. Experts say no. Rulings on state laws are normally left to state courts. Brian Dunn, program director for the Institute of Compensation Studies at Cornell University, said it’s been his experience that Tesla has no choice but to stay in the Delaware courts for this compensation package. The company could try to reconstitute the pay package and seek approval in Texas, where it may expect more friendlier judges. But Dunn, who has spent 40 years as an executive compensation consultant, said it’s likely that some other shareholder would challenge the award in Texas because it’s excessive compared with other CEOs’ pay plans. “If they just want to turn around and deliver him $56 billion, I can’t believe somebody wouldn’t want to litigate it,” Dunn said. “It’s an unconscionable amount of money.” Almost certainly. Tesla stock is trading at 15 times the exercise price of stock options in the current package in Delaware, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas wrote in a note to investors. Tesla’s share price has doubled in the past six months, Jonas wrote. At Monday’s closing stock price, the Musk package is now worth $101.4 billion, according to Equilar, an executive data firm. And Musk has asked for a subsequent pay package that would give him 25% of Tesla’s voting shares. Musk has said he is uncomfortable moving further into artificial intelligence with the company if he doesn’t have 25% control. He currently holds about 13% of Tesla’s outstanding shares.As we look ahead to the year 2025, the recent Central Politburo meeting has provided valuable insights into the new economic directions that China is poised to take.
