ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — Maverick McNealy has learned in his five years on the PGA Tour that trying to win a tournament is “designed to make you feel as uncomfortable as you possibly can.” Standing in the 18th fairway Sunday in the RSM Classic, part of a four-way tie for the lead that included Florida State sophomore Luke Clanton, the 29-year-old McNealy had every reason to be uncomfortable. He had gone nine hole without a birdie. From 185 yards away he chose a 6-iron, a club that had gone anywhere from 120 yards to 240 yards during a week of big wind and cold weather, and at that moment as warm as it had been all tournament. The shot made it look like he had been there before, covering the flag and landing 5 feet away for a birdie and his first PGA Tour victory in his 134th start as a pro. It sends him to Maui to start next year and to the Masters in April for the first time. “A moment I'll never forget,” he said. Daniel Berger missed a 20-foot birdie attempt on the 18th that preceded McNealy's winner. He tied for second with Nico Echavarria and Clanton, both of whom missed par putts from inside 8 feet on the final hole that created the four-way tie. Berger got a small consolation prize, moving inside the top 125 to keep a full PGA Tour card for 2025 when the fields will be smaller and only the top 100 keep cards. Henrik Norlander, who was No. 126 in the FedEx Cup last year, had a 63-68 weekend and joined Berger as the two players who moved into the top 125. For Joel Dahmen, it was a matter of staying there. He was at No. 124 coming into the final tournament, had to make a 5-foot par putt just to make the cut on the number and then delivered a tee-to-green clinic — along with holing a 113-yard sand wedge for eagle early in his round — for a closing 64. It was enough to stay at No. 124 with nine points to spare. “Two of the biggest pressure moments of my career I showed up, and I can take that going forward,” Dahmen said. Story continues below video Clanton was a shot away from joining Nick Dunlap as amateur winners on the PGA Tour this year. Clanton, who has taken over as the top-ranked amateur in the world, now has two runner-up finishes and four top 10s in the seven PGA Tour starts the last five months. He had the look of a winner, especially with McNealy stuck in neutral, when he poured in birdie putts on the 14th and 16th holes to tie for the lead. But he tugged his approach to the 18th into bunker, blasted out to 7 feet and missed his par putt. He shot 66. “It’s going to be a tough one to definitely take, for sure, after bogeying the last,” Clanton said. “But I think it’s proven to me that out here I can win, so I’ll be training for that.” Echavarria, who won in Japan a month ago, had not made a bogey all day until going long on the 18th, chipping to 9 feet and catching the lip with his par putt. Michael Thorbjornsen was poised to move into the top 125 until he pulled his approach into the water on the par-5 15th hole and made bogey, closing with three pars for a 69. He tied for eighth and finished at No. 129. Thorbjornsen still has a full card next year from being No. 1 in PGA Tour University, but his status won't be as high. McNealy, son of Sun Microsystems co-founder Scott McNealy, had been doing some of his best work outside the ropes, particularly effecting a change in FedEx Cup points distribution to make it more equitable. Missing was a victory, and this one came down to the wire. He went out in 33 and led by two going to the back nine, and then it became a grind. He holed a 15-foot par putt from the fringe on the 11th to stay in the lead, and saved par after going bunker-to-bunker on the 13th. But he dropped a shot with an errant drive on the 14th, and when Echavarria birdied the 15th ahead of him, McNealy was out of the lead for the first time all day. He answered at just the right time, a 6-iron that covered the flag and settled just over 5 feet away. The victory gets him into three $20 million events over the first two months of the year starting with The Sentry at Kapalua, along with his first trip to Augusta National.

In the context of a Russian hypermarket, the question of whether the products are pure imports or made in China is not always clear-cut. While some goods may indeed be sourced directly from Russia and other countries, it is not uncommon for manufacturers to outsource production to China due to its cost-effectiveness and manufacturing capabilities.
JM Financial has a buy call on CarTrade Tech with a target price of Rs 1655. The current market price of CarTrade Tech is Rs 1475.2. CarTrade Tech, incorporated in 2000, is a Small Cap company with a market cap of Rs 6946.25 crore, operating in Services sector. CarTrade Tech Ltd. key Products/Revenue Segments include Other Services, Used Cars, Commission and Other Operating Revenue for the year ending 31-Mar-2023. Financials For the quarter ended 30-09-2024, the company has reported a Consolidated Total Income of Rs 172.23 crore, up 10.15 % from last quarter Total Income of Rs 156.36 Crore and down -47.85 % from last year same quarter Total Income of Rs 330.24 crore. The company has reported net profit after tax of Rs 30.73 Crore in latest quarter. Investment Rationale CarTrade Tech has seen a strong uptick since posting a reputable 2QFY25 result with the stock up 40%+ since result day. While increasing understanding of the company's business models and their growth drivers along with the operating leverage story justifies the uptick, it has caught further strength with the company twice sharing guidance on 3QFY25's 30% YoY growth in Consumer group and 25-30% PAT growth sequentially. While PAT growth guidance was in line with JMFe, 30% growth in New Auto considering the relatively muted auto sales environment was a positive surprise. JM Financial expects these to drive sharp upgrades in consensus estimates. Furthermore, considering rising credibility of robust growth along with margin expansion, the brokerage has upgraded multiples for New Auto and OLX segment to 30x FY27E EV/EBITDA. Consequently, they are reiterating a ?BUY? rating with Mar?26 target price of Rs 1,655.

Clíona Saidléar, RCNI executive director, said she believed the €250,000 damages awarded to Nikita Hand was a "drop in the ocean” for a man of McGregor's wealth. "The companies making money from his alcohol and other products need to look at whether they want to align themselves with a man found by a civil jury to have sexually assaulted a woman,” she said. "They need to stop promoting him and distance themselves... €250,000 won't dent his finances, but the public can play a role here in expressing disapproval for anyone that tries make money with a man who engaged in that despicable behaviour.” Proper No 12 whiskey — which he sold in 2023 but remains a spokesperson for — and his Forged Irish Stout products are stocked by supermarkets and off-licences. During the three-week civil case, McGregor posted Instagram pictures of himself with this Forged Irish Stout in a EuroSpar in the North. He said over six million cans have been sold. Earlier this year, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASAI) upheld a complaint that Forged Irish Stout breached advertising rules on sexualised content. In an Instagram post, there was "significant emphasis through the use of camera angles, on the female models' cleavages and bottoms, and in some cases solely on these areas”. The ASAI said there was no creative reason for this "other than to objectify the female models”. It found this was "an irresponsible manner in which to depict women”.Additionally, China's trade surplus and strong export performance have contributed to the Renminbi's upward trajectory. Despite the challenges posed by the global economic slowdown, Chinese exports have remained resilient, driven by robust demand for goods such as electronics, medical equipment, and consumer products. This trade surplus has provided support for the Yuan and helped to offset the impact of external uncertainties on the currency's exchange rate.
Jaylen Brown scores 29 points before Celtics beat Timberwolves 107-105 with late defensive standThere are a lot of Australian shares to choose from on the local share market. But which could be top options for a $10,000 investment right now? Three that have just been named on Bell Potter coveted Australian equities panel are listed below. Here's why they broker thinks these are the best of the best right now: ( ) Investment bank Macquarie could be an Australian share to buy according to Bell Potter. The broker believes that the company's and surplus capital could make it a great option for investors. It explains: MQG's diversification is an integral part of the investment thesis. Over the past decade, MQG has undergone a significant transformation, pivoting from its traditional investment banking roots to emerge as a dominant player in global asset management, particularly in infrastructure and renewable energy. This diversification and the potential to generate increased annuity-style income from sources like asset management should bolster MQG's valuation. MQG boasts a substantial $10.7 billion surplus capital, providing ample resources for future investments and growth. ( ) Another Australian share that is rated highly by Bell Potter is Universal Store. It is a youth fashion retailer that owns the eponymous Universal Store brand, as well as the Perfect Stranger and Thrills brands. Bell Potter thinks the company's outlook is very positive thanks to its store expansion opportunity. In addition, it feels that its shares are cheap at just 14x forward earnings. It said: Universal Store Holdings is a leading youth focused apparel, footwear and accessories retailer in Australia. UNI will continue to increase store numbers over the next few years, supporting earnings growth of 12% p.a. over (FY25-27). Valuation looks attractive, trading on a fwd P/E of ~14x. UNI is a quality small cap (ROE ~25%) that is executing on its rollout strategy. ( ) A third Australian share to consider for a $10,000 investment is WiseTech Global. It is a rapidly growing logistics solutions technology company. Bell Potter believes the company is destined for more growth over the long term and describes it as "a growth story." It explains: WTC has a high degree of recurring revenue (80-85%) and should continue to grow its revenue/earnings from further customer wins. We see CargoWise as the market leader in freight forwarding software and expect growth to accelerate due to the launch of three new products, as well as ongoing global roll-out wins. All up, WTC is a growth story with strategic acquisitions representing upside potential enabling WTC to benefit from large-scale global rollouts and consolidation within the logistics sector.UNIUYO admission portal: All about the admission requirements and fees for 2024/2025

Followed categories will be added to My News. Australians have been warned to brace for more hot and sweaty nights this summer, with above-average maximum temperatures on the horizon. The Bureau of Meteorology’s long-range forecast overview has anticipated above-average maximum and minimum temperatures “across almost all of Australia”. The bureau also warned of a risk of “unusually high maximum temperatures”, including in parts of NSW, South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland and Northern Territory. Some of those areas could swelter with more than four times the normal chance of abnormal temperatures, with parts of northern WA facing abnormally low maximums. Sky News Weather meteorologist Rob Sharpe earlier said heat records were likely to remain uncontested for the next few weeks, with records more likely to be broken towards the end of December. “We’ve seen some pretty significant wet weather ... slowed the heating trend a bit for Australia with all this rain and storm activity,” Mr Sharpe said. “It’s more about the rain and the storms this month.” Chance of exceeding medium minimum temperatures January to March 2025. Picture: Bureau of Meteorology As for rainfall, the bureau warned there was a 60 per cent to 80 per cent chance of above-average rainfall in eastern Australia between December and February. The highest chance of above-average rainfall is forecast for December when almost all of the country is likely to experience above average rain for that month. The chance of above-average falls has increased in recent weeks, according to the bureau, but typically drops off as the season progresses. Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Jonathon How earlier said December was shaping up to be wetter than average. “High chance of being wetter than usual across most of the country, especially the east coast,” a bureau spokesperson said. Chance of exceeding medium rainfall, December, 2024. Picture: Bureau of Meteorology “Same deal goes for Adelaide, Melbourne, and Hobart – a wetter than usual December. “The main message for this week is it’s going be hot, humid and unsettled. “There’s a chance of seeing that for the rest of the month, but as we know, all we need is that one good day on Christmas.” Sydney’s maximum temperature average for this month is 25C, with Melbourne’s 24C, and Brisbane and Perth at 30C. Adelaide and Canberra are both at 27C, Hobart at 20C and Darwin at 33C.

Powerful spotlights Wednesday night dance to the music on top of Jason Mills’ home at 74 Warren Road in Monmouth. The lights have prompted questions and speculation from residents miles away. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal MONMOUTH — It’s not unusual, some evenings, for people to pull to the side of the road, get out of their cars and just start dancing in the street in front of Jason Mills’ house on Warren Road. “We’ve had people out there singing at the top of their lungs, too,” says Mills, “and it’s just fun and funny. We really enjoy seeing people out there.” These spontaneous displays of singing and dancing aren’t the work of lunatics. They are among the many who stop in front of Mills’ house in the early evenings to enjoy the elaborate Christmas light show going on there. And when we say “elaborate,” we really mean it. We’re talking 18,000 LED lights flickering, flashing and kind of dancing along in exotic ways in sync with the music. We’re talking computer controlled projectors beaming images onto the windows, where exotic swirls of light move in every imaginable way. Every once in while, you’ll see the ghostly image of a guitarist jamming along to the music of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra on Mills’ front door. The lights spin and throb and pulsate in such a wild variety of ways, it’s mesmerizing. The experience is almost psychedelic. It is, without question, hypnotic. Sheets of LED bulbs change with the music at Jason Mills’ home in Monmouth. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal And there are four moving spotlights atop Mills’ roof, as well. They shoot out beams of light and move every which way based on the music. The light dances playfully on whatever sky cover there happens to be that night, and people have reported seeing this phenomena as far away as Turner and Greene, Lewiston, Auburn and Poland, in some cases attributing it to UFOs or the northern lights. When it comes to his Christmas light show, Mills, an assistance chief with the Monmouth Fire Department, does not mess around. His show is carefully curated through computer software that allows him to adjust the timing of every bulb and get every flash and flicker in line with the beat of the holiday season songs on his playlist. This is not traditional Christmas decorating. The display is all encompassing. From the great spotlights on the roof to the animated Christmas trees and candy canes on the front lawn, Mills has used the latest in lighting technology to present one of the grandest displays one will find in the region. It’s a lot of work and none of it is cheap: The spotlights alone run about $1,000 apiece and the LED lights were at one time selling for about a buck a bulb. Yet, Mills has been doing this for years and his officially named Monmouth Lights show gets wilder with each new Christmas season. Jason Mills stands Wednesday night in front of his home at 74 Warren Road in Monmouth., where his ever-evolving light display is attracting people from across the region. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal “Inspiration for my light show came from a few places,” says Mills, in a way that is both modest and alive with childlike enthusiasm. “When I was a kid, my grandmother had an amazing Christmas light display every year and I see this as my way of carrying on that piece of her legacy. I am also a big fan of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and started going to their concerts around 20 years ago. The lighting at those concerts is a show of its own and, as a bit of a tech geek, it garnered my interest immediately. So in 2012 I started Monmouth Lights with a few strings of traditional Christmas lights and some controllers that I put together. I had a couple different songs each year and we would see a handful of cars each night stop by. We did that for three or four years before work got in the way.” Things went along at that tempo for a few years. Then Mills stepped things up a notch or three. “In 2019, we moved to our current house and I started looking into smart lighting options,” Mills says. “I built a few small controllers and played around with some LED strips before stumbling across some information about connecting them into a Christmas light show. That’s all it took to throw me back into the hobby and I started putting together a small show. We didn’t expect a lot of visitors, but that was 2020 and a lot of normal Christmas events and traditions weren’t happening that year, so we had more than we anticipated and we ended up causing a few traffic problems.” Mills lives on a pretty quiet stretch of Warren Road. In order for someone to cause traffic problems there, people would have to be coming from miles around to see the show. That’s exactly what happened, and the show draws even more interest these days now that it’s bigger and brighter and more intense than ever. Viewers watching the light show from their cars can tune their radios to 91.7 FM to hear the music while the lights dance. The closer Christmas gets, the more Christmas music is being added to the playlist. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal The popularity of Mills’ light show got a boost recently thanks to a bunch of threads on social media where people — including Sun Journal photographer Russ Dillingham — reported seeing lights in the sky in far-flung places like the wilds of Turner. Some folks thought it was Elon Musk’s Starlink they were seeing up there in the heavens. Others thought UFOs were making regular stops to the area. When it was finally sorted out, many made the drive out to lonely Warren Road to have an up-close look at Mills’ fancy display. By then, Mills already had a pretty good following. There is rarely a time between 4:30 and 9 p.m. that at least one vehicle isn’t stopped in front of his house to enjoy the show — which takes an amazing 22 minutes to cycle from start to finish before beginning all over again. Mills gets help from his wife and two daughters, both with the setup and the computer controls. “My oldest daughter is just in high school,” Mills says. “Now she’s kind of getting into computer programming and stuff, so she’s starting to learn how to program the songs so she can pick some of her favorites and make some light shows from them.” The light show at the Monmouth home of Jason Mills includes thousands of LED lights, projects, spotlights and even a collection box for families to drop off their letters to Santa. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal Mills adds new songs to the mix every week. Right now, there’s a little bit of everything in there, but as it gets closer to the holiday, Mills will switch over to Christmas music exclusively. He also gets a little help from Maine Equipment Rental, which partners with Mills and made it possible for him to work safely and with a little bit of a break on his own costs. Mills said he’s never considered asking for help from the public to pay for his setup. He does this for them and all he wants is for families viewing the show to have a good time. Families can drop off letters to Santa and watch the light show choreographed by computer to an ever-changing playlist of music. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal “We do this show for the community,” Mills says, “and there is never a charge to come and see it. We do have a Santa’s mailbox where families can drop their letters to Santa and we will get them to the North Pole. If they include a return address, we do our best to make sure they get a personal replay.” Some folks will leave donations in a box at the roadside, but Mills gives 100% of anything collected to local youth STEM and arts programs, including Monmouth VEX Robotics and the Monmouth Community Players’ kids program. The show runs nightly and Mills plans to keep the display going until the new year. Those who stop to take in the grand show can tune their radios to 91.7 FM to hear the music or they can download the PulseMesh app on their phones. In spite of the breathtaking magnitude of his light show, Mills doesn’t consider himself any kind of local king of Christmas displays. In fact, he says that some spectacular light shows at nearby homes — on Small Road and on Hallowell Road in Litchfield — make it so that the drive to the area is three times as special for those out to enjoy Christmas decorations in the area.

Major League Baseball , the players’ association and the Braves paid tribute to Carty on social media on Sunday. A family friend told Listín Diario — a newspaper in Carty’s native Dominican Republic — that he died Saturday night in an Atlanta hospital. “Carty was one of the first groundbreaking Latino stars in the major leagues, and he established himself as a hero to millions in his native Dominican Republic, his hometown of San Pedro de Macoris, and the city of Atlanta, where he was a beloved fan favorite,” the players' association said in its statement . The Braves said Carty left an indelible mark on the organization. “While his on-field accomplishments will never be forgotten, his unforgettable smile and generous nature will be sorely missed,” the team said in its statement.
