Gratitude to the Almighty is the theme of Thanksgiving and has been ever since the Pilgrims of Plymouth brought in their first harvest. “Instead of famine, now God gave them plenty,” their leader, Governor William Bradford, would later write in “Of Plymouth Plantation,” his celebrated history of the colony’s first decades, “and the face of things was changed to the rejoicing of the hearts of many, for which they blessed God.” The annual presidential Thanksgiving proclamations always invoke God, and they frequently itemize the favors for which we owe Him thanks. “For all the blessings that have been bestowed upon our nation during the past 12 months, it is a small thing to give thanks to Almighty God,” declared Lyndon Johnson in 1965, to mention just one example. “Our nation is rich and strong and united in the cause of liberty and justice. Our physical comforts are unmatched anywhere in the world. Our medicine has conquered ancient diseases. ... We have broadened the horizons of opportunity for our poor. And all the while, we have enjoyed the greatest prosperity in history.” This week, in millions of homes across the nation, God will be thanked for many gifts — for the feast on the table and the company of loved ones, for health and good fortune in the year gone by, for peace at home when there is so much war abroad, for the incalculable privilege of having been born — or having become — American. But it probably won’t occur to too many of us to give thanks for the fact that the local supermarket had plenty of fresh turkey for sale this week. Even the devout aren’t likely to thank God for airline schedules that made it possible for some of those loved ones to fly home for Thanksgiving. Or for the arrival of “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” at the local movie theater in time for the holiday weekend. Or for that great salted caramel pecan pie recipe in the food section of the newspaper. Those things we take more or less for granted. It hardly takes a miracle to explain why grocery stores stock up on turkey before Thanksgiving, or why Hollywood releases big movies in time for big holidays. That’s what they do. Where is God in that? And yet, isn’t there something wondrous — something almost inexplicable — in the way your Thanksgiving weekend is made possible by the skill and labor of vast numbers of total strangers? To ensure supermarkets would be stocked with turkey for Thanksgiving required the efforts of thousands of far-flung people. An astonishing level of coordination was required to pull it off. Even more astonishing is that there was no coordinator. (Photo: Nam Y. Huh/AP) To bring that turkey to the dining room table, for example, required the efforts of thousands of people — the poultry farmers who raised the birds, of course, but also the feed distributors who supplied their nourishment and the truckers who brought it to the farm, not to mention the architect who designed the hatchery, the workers who built it, and the technicians who keep it running. The bird had to be slaughtered and defeathered and inspected and transported and unloaded and wrapped and priced and displayed. The people who accomplished those tasks were supported in turn by armies of other people accomplishing other tasks — from refining the gasoline that fueled the trucks to manufacturing the plastic in which the meat was packaged to scheduling the shifts of the cashiers who rang up customers’ sales. The activities of countless far-flung men and women over the course of many months had to be intricately choreographed and precisely timed, so that when you showed up to buy a fresh Thanksgiving turkey, there would be one — or more likely, a few dozen — waiting. The level of coordination that was required to pull it off is astounding. But what is even more astounding is this: No one coordinated it. No turkey czar sat in a command post somewhere, consulting a master plan and issuing orders. No one rode herd on all those people, forcing them to cooperate for your benefit. And yet they did cooperate. When you arrived at the supermarket, your turkey was there. You didn’t have to do anything but show up to buy it. If that isn’t a miracle, what should we call it? Adam Smith called it “the invisible hand” — the mysterious phenomenon that leads innumerable people, each working for his own gain, to promote ends that benefit many and enrich society. Out of the seeming chaos of millions of uncoordinated private transactions emerges the spontaneous order of the market. Free human beings freely interact, and the result is an array of goods and services more immense than the human mind can comprehend. No dictator, no bureaucracy, no supercomputer plans it in advance. Indeed, the more an economy is planned, the more it is plagued by shortages, dislocation, and failure. It is commonplace to speak of seeing God’s signature in the intricacy of a spider’s web, the grandeur of a mountain range, or the ethereal beauty of a rainbow. But even they pale against the kaleidoscopic energy and productivity of the free market. If it is a blessing from Heaven when seeds are transformed into grain, how much more of a blessing is it when our private, voluntary exchanges are transformed — without our ever intending it — into prosperity, innovation, and growth? The social order of freedom, like the wealth and the progress it makes possible, is an extraordinary gift from above. On this Thanksgiving Day and every day, may we be grateful.Cassia Networks Releases the M1500 Enterprise-Grade Compact Bluetooth Gateway, Enhancing Enterprise Application FlexibilityWhen Inter Miami were dumped out of Major League Soccer's playoffs in the first round, their former Spain international full-back Jordi Alba questioned the fairness of the post-season format. Miami had topped the Eastern Conference and the overall regular season standings with a record points tally a performance which earned them the 'Supporters' Shield'. But there would be no title battle against the best in the West for Lionel Messi and Company after they contrived to lose two matches in their best-of-three series against an Atlanta United team which finished ninth in the East and 20th in the overall standings. "I think this format is a bit unfair. It has been done for many years but I think it should be the champion of one conference against the champion of the other, to make it as fair as possible," Alba said. Alba's comments prompted much debate among MLS fans and plenty of accusations of sour grapes but they did serve to highlight that this year's playoffs, if not MLS's playoffs in general, would certainly not be a battle of the best versus best. Defending champions Columbus Crew, who finished second in the Supporters' Shield race, were also eliminated in the first round, adding to the sense that the knockout phase of the season is very much a competition of its own. So on Saturday, after the international break disrupted the flow of the post-season, the Conference semi-finals, will see a "Hudson River Derby" between two New York teams who couldn't finish in the top 10 in the regular season. New York City, Manchester City's sister club, have home-field advantage after finishing in 13th spot while the New York Red Bulls travel from New Jersey, having ended up in 16th place. The 'home field' isn't actually NYCFC's usual home of Yankee Stadium, which is being used for a college football game, but Citi Field, home of New York's other baseball club, the Mets. Later on Saturday, in the Western Conference, 2022 MLS Cup winners and last year's beaten finalists, Los Angeles FC, are at home to the Seattle Sounders. More from this section That fixture feels much more like the kind of playoff game that was expected -- LAFC finished top of the West while Seattle were fourth. LAFC faces the Sounders for the fourth time in an elimination match over the last 13 months, having defeated Seattle in the 2023 Western Conference semifinals, the 2024 Leagues Cup quarterfinal and the 2024 US Open Cup semifinal. Each of those matches was hosted by Seattle. LAFC, with former France stars in goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and striker Olivier Giroud, enter the encounter unbeaten in their last 10 meetings with the Sounders, with their last loss to Seattle coming in a 2-0 defeat in 2021. On Sunday, surprise package Atlanta, with their 40-year-old goalkeeper Brad Guzan having impressed so many with his heroics against Miami, will return to Florida to take on Orlando City, who finished fourth in the East. Atlanta won at Orlando on the last day of the regular campaign, a victory that allowed them to sneak into the wildcard round but which also completed a home and away double for the Georgia side. "Obviously, in Major League Soccer, anything can happen," said Orlando coach Oscar Pareja. "Our responsibility is to play one game at a time. This one, we're going to be ready for sure," he added. The weekend rounds off with Los Angeles Galaxy hosting Minnesota United who, under former Manchester United assistant coach Eric Ramsay, came through a best-of-three series against higher-ranked Real Salt Lake. The Galaxy start as favourites but, as this season has shown in abundance, that counts for little. "We know they are a top team at this level with top individual players who are very difficult to beat at home but...I feel that if we are a good version of what we have been over the last 10-12 games... I certainly won't be painting it as a one sided game," said Ramsay. sev/js"Don't look at it as a sadness. Look at it as a celebration" Tributes have flooded in for the world's oldest man, who died peacefully at his care home in Southport aged 112. John Tinniswood was born in Liverpool on August 26, 1912. A lifelong Liverpool supporter, John became the world’s oldest living man after the death of Juan Vicente Pérez Mora at the age of 114. In April he was officially recognised as the world’s oldest man by the Guinness Book of Records. In a statement released on Tuesday morning , John's family said: "We are saddened to inform you that John Alfred Tinniswood died peacefully on Monday (November 25) aged 112, at his care home in Southport . His last day was surrounded by music and love. "John always liked to say thank you. So on his behalf thank you to all those who cared for him over the years, including his carers at the Hollies Care Home, his GPs, district nurses, occupational therapist and other NHS staff. John’s life was one surrounded by love. Born on August 26, 1912 to Ada and John Bernard Tinniswood, he went on to marry his late wife, Blodwen Tinniswood, and they had a daughter, Susan. He leaves his daughter, grandchildren Annouchka, Marisa, Toby and Rupert, and great-grandchildren Tabitha, Callum and Nieve. His family's tribute continued: "John had many fine qualities. He was intelligent, decisive, brave, calm in any crisis, talented at maths and a great conversationalist. "These served him well during his military service in the Royal Army Pays Corps during the second world we and also in the UK energy sector, where he served for 43 years first as an accounts clerk, then as a manager and accountant. "John had an active retirement volunteering as a church elder in Blundellsands United Reform Church where he used to enjoy giving sermons. He also enjoyed walking in Merseyside well in his late nineties. "John moved to the Hollies Rest home just before his 100 birthday and his kindness and enthusiasm for life were an inspiration to the care home staff and his fellow residents. His many interests included current affairs and sport including football and racing. He was so happy to learn how well Liverpool Football Club were doing. "In recent years John became famous for his longevity after becoming first the UK’s oldest man in 2020 and later recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s oldest man in April 2024. We would like to thank the many people in the UK and across the world who sent well wishes to John on his recent birthdays. He really appreciated these birthday greetings and other messages of support. "John was a much loved member of the Liverpool, Southport and Sefton communities who we thank for their support to him over the years. We would like to request that people rather than sending flowers consider making a donation to Age UK or their chosen charity in his memory. We would also like to ask that his family and care home’s privacy are respected at this difficult time. Thank you for your understanding." Tributes have been pouring in since news of John's death broke. On Facebook , Ian Webster wrote: "What that change that man has seen in his lifetime." Edith Evans said: "LFC oldest fan. Rest in Peace John. YNWA. Condolences to his family." Another commented: "What a fantastic age to live. Don't look at it as a sadness look at it has a celebration." A fourth added: "Wow that's amazing a 112 years old, he must had a healthy and happy life. R.I.P sir condolences to his family and friends." Valerie Waring said: "Very sad, but a grand age to live, god bless x." Skinny Evans added: "Absolute gentleman he was in same care home as my mum last year in Southport great man R.I.P Sir John."

Tim Walter's awful tenure at Hull City continued to plunge new depths on Tuesday, losing 2-0 to Sheffield Wednesday at an increasingly fed-up MKM Stadium. City's home woes continued with a poor first half display which saw them a goal down shortly before the break when Josh Windass slotted in a penalty after Joao Pedro's clumsy foul. The hosts did create two good chances through Regan Slater who should have scored and Xavier Simons, who hit a post, but they were cut open time and time again. Wednesday finally secured the points in the final 10 minutes when Michael Smith came off the bench to turn in their second and complete City's misery. Here's how Tigers reporter Barry Cooper rated the players under the MKM Stadium lights on Tuesday evening.... Ivor Pandur: A busy first period for the City stopper. Sent the wrong way by Windass' penalty kick and could do nothing about the second. 6/10 Cody Drameh: Found the going really tough in the first half before recovering in the second. Made a couple of timely interventions. 6/10 Charlie Hughes: Booked for a head-to-head clash with Ike Ugbo in one of the livelier moments of what was a game that fizzled. Booked for that, and was taken off for Bedia late on. 6/10 Alfie Jones: Saw plenty of the ball again but was often exposed alongside Hughes, as Wednesday often cut through the City side at will, at times. 6/10 Lewie Coyle: Another typical Coyle performance of grit and determination, bombing from right to left and back again. 6/10 Regan Slater: Had a glorious chance to fire City a goal up after half-an-hour from close range but picked out the goalkeeper's legs, before being hooked at half-time. 5/10 Kasey Palmer: Handed his maiden MKM Stadium start after his impressive cameo at Luton Town and went close in the early stages driving into the side-netting from the edge of the box. 6/10 Xavier Simons: Not in the game in the first half. Wednesday dominated but did hit the post with a shot at the end of it. Fizzed over in the second before coming off just shy of the hour. 5/10 Ryan Longman: A first start of the season for the winger after recovering from his shoulder surgery. Started on the right before moving to the left, struggled to get into the game and was sacrificed at half-time. 5/10 Abu Kamara: Early cross into the box almost caught out goalkeeper James Beadle. Still looks like he lacks confidence. Made a brilliant goal-saving tackle to stop Wednesday making it 2-0. 6/10 Joao Pedro: Nothing going forward, so tried to get involved in the game at the wrong end and gave away a silly penalty. Forced a decent save from Beadle in the second half with a looping header. 5/10 Subs: Abdus Omur (for Longman 46): His delivery from corners showed promise, and indeed, fashioned an opening for Pedro to head at goal. 6/10 Marvin Mehlem (for Slater 46): One decent knockback for Joao Pedro to miss from a yard or two out. Offered little else. 5/10 Gustavo Puerta (for Simons 58): Buzzed around when he came on, won a free kick on the far side with some nimble footwork. 5/10 Chris Bedia (for Hughes 77): Caused a few nervy moments for Wednesday, but couldn't get into a game City had not been in for long periods. 5/10 Mason Burstow (for Kamara 86): Too little time in truth, coming on wide left this time. 5/10 Rate them yourself using the slider below....
