Payal Kapadia’s ‘All We Imagine As Light’ disrupts popular narratives of MumbaiA recent robbery at a Markham jewelry store is the third such incident for the Markville Mall location. On Wednesday, Dec. 4 shortly after noon, a robbery was reported at Lukfook Jewellery. Video footage circulating online shows approximately 10 suspects using hammers to smash glass display cases. According to a news release from York Regional Police (YRP), officers responded immediately and quickly took four suspects into custody. Two additional suspects were later located hiding in the washroom of a nearby food establishment. Some of the stolen items were recovered during the arrests, but the investigators are still working with the store to determine what remains unaccounted for. At the time of the arrest, two 16-year-old males, a 15-year-old male and a 19-year-old male were out on release orders, according to police. Police are currently seeking at least six additional male suspects, four of whom were allegedly directly involved in the robbery and at least two acted as getaway drivers. A white Honda Civic, believed to be one of the suspect vehicles, rear-ended another vehicle at the intersection of McCowan Road and Hwy. 7. “Multiple occupants fled from the vehicle and officers engaged in a brief foot pursuit,” said YRP in a statement, “The occupants of the vehicle that was rear-ended sustained minor injuries and were transported to a local hospital as a precaution.” The Honda Civic was reported stolen on Nov. 10 from the City of Toronto. Investigators believe a second vehicle, a beige sport utility vehicle (SUV), was also involved in the incident. This robbery comes just two days after another smash-and-grab robbery at Peoples Jewellers in Richmond Hill’s Hillcrest Mall. On Monday afternoon around 4 p.m., four masked men smashed several display cases before fleeing the scene. “The investigation is still ongoing,” said Const. Kevin Nebrija. “While the means of these robberies appear similar, there is no information right now to suggest that these two incidents are connected.” reached out to Lukfook Jewellery for comment, but no one from the store was available at the time of publication. Social media posts suggest the store just completed renovations, which began in mid-September and were finished at the end of November. During the past six years, Lukfook Jewellery in Markville Mall has been targeted by robbers three times: first in December 2018 and again in April of this year. Nebrija acknowledged the public’s concerns about these incidents and highlighted the dangers posed by such violent crimes. “We understand the high level of concern regarding these crimes. Smash-and-grab robberies are not what workers and visitors to the mall expect to encounter,” he said. “However, we emphasize that these incidents appear to be targeted. We remind mall goers to always remain aware of their surroundings and to contact the police immediately if they witness a violent crime.” In the meantime, police urged the public not to intervene if they encounter a robbery in progress. “We do not suggest community members try to intervene in any way as the suspect(s) motivations are unknown, as are any potential weapons they may be carrying,” Nebrija added, “We always advocate for the public to be the best witness as possible for us as information gathered from them by the investigators are of great assistance.” Anyone with information is asked to call the York Regional Police holdup unit at , ext. 6630, or Crime Stoppers at (8477).

Barkley has 2,005 yards and needs 101 in next week’s mostly meaningless regular-season finale to top Eric Dickerson and his 2,105 yards for the Los Angeles Rams in 1984. The Eagles led 24-7 in the third quarter when Pickett was drilled by defensive end Micah Parsons, ending his first start in place of the concussed Jalen Hurts. Tanner McKee, a career third-stringer, entered the game and the Eagles finished the drive with a field goal. McKee later threw two TD passes, a 20-yarder to A.J. Brown and a 25-yarder to DeVonta Smith, in front of a roaring crowd delighted to watch the Eagles dominate their fiercest rival to wrap up the division title and at least the No. 2 seed in the NFC. Hurts was injured in last week’s loss at Washington and remains in the NFL’s concussion protocol — he didn’t practice all week — which opened the door for Pickett to start. VIKINGS 27, PACKERS 25: Sam Darnold added another exploit to his career-altering season, passing for a personal-best 377 yards and three touchdowns as host Minnesota hung on to beat Green Bay for its ninth consecutive victory, putting the V Vikings one win from the NFC’s top seed for the playoffs. Darnold hit Jalen Nailor, Jordan Addison and Cam Akers for scores to raise his passing touchdown total to 35, the fourth-most in NFL history by a player in his debut season with a team. The Vikings set up a final-week showdown in Detroit for both the NFC North title and the first-round-bye-plus-home-field-advantage package that comes with the best record in the conference. Jordan Love’s only touchdown pass for the Packers came with 2:18 left, a 3-yard toss to Malik Heath that trimmed their deficit to two points and reignited the “Go Pack Go!” chants from the green-clad fans mixed in among the purple in another classic edition of this divisional rivalry. BUCCANEERS 48, PANTHERS 14: Baker Mayfield threw for 359 yards and five touchdowns to help Tampa Bay keep its division title and playoff hopes alive with a home blowout over Carolina. Tampa Bay’s fifth win in the past six weeks nudged the first-place Bucs a half-game ahead of Atlanta for the best record in the NFC South, with the Falcons set to play on the road later Sunday night at Washington. Atlanta holds the tiebreaker in the division race and can end Tampa Bay’s three-year reign as NFC South champions by beating the Commanders and winning again next week at home against the last-place Panthers. Mayfield threw TD passes of 2 and 1 yards to Mike Evans, and Tampa Bay produced points on five straight possessions to build a 27-7 lead. Jalen McMillan scored on receptions of 10 and 16 yards, linebacker J.J. Russell returned a blocked punt for a TD, and rookie Bucky Irving had another big game against Carolina with 120 yards rushing on 20 carries and four receptions for 77 yards. GIANTS 45, COLTS 33: New York snapped a franchise-record 10-game losing streak and ended Indianapolis’ slim playoff hopes as Drew Lock threw four touchdown passes and ran for another. New York earned its first home win of the season and it no longer has control of the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. Lock sandwiched touchdown passes of 31 and 59 yards to Malik Nabers around TD passes of 32 yards to Darius Slayton and 5 yards to Wan’Dale Robinson in leading the Giants to their first win since beating Seattle on Oct. 6. RAIDERS 25, SAINTS 10: Aidan O’Connell passed for two touchdowns, tight end Brock Bowers broke two rookie NFL records, and Las Vegas won for just the fourth time this season, beating struggling New Orleans at the Superdome. Ameer Abdullah rushed for 115 yards for the Raiders — the journeyman running back’s first 100-yard game in his 10 NFL seasons. BILLS 40, JETS 14: Josh Allen threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, and host Buffalo clinched the AFC’s No. 2 seed with a rout of unraveling New York. The Bills put the game away by capitalizing on two Jets turnovers and scoring three touchdowns over a 5:01 span in the closing minutes of the third quarter. Buffalo’s defense forced three takeaways overall and sacked Aaron Rodgers four times, including a 2-yard loss for a safety in the second quarter. JAGUARS 20, TITANS 13: Mac Jones threw two touchdown passes, including one to standout rookie Brian Thomas Jr., and host Jacksonville beat Tennessee in the rain to sweep the season series for the fourth time in 30 years. Jones completed 15 of 22 passes for 174 yards, with most of them going to Thomas. The first-round draft pick from LSU finished with seven receptions for 91 yards. His 11-yard TD catch with 7:05 remaining gave him his eighth game with at least 60 yards and a score, tying him with Hall of Famer Randy Moss for the most by a rookie in NFL history. DOLPHINS 20, BROWNS 3: Tyler Huntley scrambled for a touchdown and threw for one while starting for Tua Tagovailoa, and Miami stayed in the playoff race heading into its season finale with a road victory over Cleveland. Miami needs to win next weekend at the New York Jets and hope the Denver Broncos lose at home to Kansas City to get a wild-card berth. Unfortunately for the Dolphins, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and many of the top-seeded Chiefs’ starters are expected to rest. Get local news delivered to your inbox!

The site for an is carefully selected, considering various factors to enhance energy production and reduce environmental and social effects. Discover the factors that determine the optimal sites for offshore wind farms. Offshore wind energy is a type of renewable and clean energy produced by harnessing the wind's power at sea through offshore wind farms, where wind speed is more stable and greater due to the absence of physical barriers. Additionally, it must be considered that the space at sea is more abundant and that vessels allow for the transportation of larger blades and towers. This implies that these offshore wind farms, fitted with the latest technical innovations, can efficiently harness this limitless and clean energy source. However, what criteria do you use to determine the locations for offshore wind farms, and how do you decide if they ought to be offshore or floating wind installations? This procedure includes evaluating several essential elements to maximize the opportunities for wind energy production in regions with robust and steady winds, all while considering logistical and environmental practicality. Discover the important factors needed to determine the ideal site for renewable energy production in marine settings. Choosing the Location for Offshore Wind Farms A primary factor to consider when determining where to place offshore wind farms is the evaluation of the wind resource. An ideal site should experience persistent and robust winds; thus, gathering historical information on wind velocity and direction at the desired offshore location is essential. This information can originate from land-based weather stations, sea-based weather buoys, or readings collected at the precise site. These data are examined to establish average wind speed, annual wind variability, or seasonal patterns, and models are created to consider orography, sea temperature, and other local factors that might affect the wind. Another significant concern is the depth necessary for wind farms, as this affects the kind of foundation needed for wind turbines. Stable structures like monopiles or gravity and jacket foundations can be employed in shallow waters, which are secured to the ocean floor. In deeper waters, floating solutions are necessary and are currently being developed; thus, early projects must consider the higher costs and technical challenges relative to fixed foundations, which have nearly 20 years of development and experience. Floating vs. Fixed Offshore Wind: Which Is the Best Choice? A consideration linked to the choice of where to place offshore wind farms is the kind of technology to implement. The decision between floating and fixed offshore wind relies on various factors that must be thoroughly assessed within the context of a particular project. The depth of water has been highlighted as a key factor because floating wind farms are required in deeper waters, where anchored foundations cannot be used. Nevertheless, the potential for power generation must also be considered, as floating wind farms can utilize locations with stronger and more consistent offshore winds, which enhances the generation capacity compared to shallow water bases. Regarding environmental effects, floating wind farms may have a negligible environmental impact. Additional specific factors, including geology, ocean currents, climate, and navigation, need to be evaluated, as they can be vital for ensuring the project's safety and feasibility. It is important to recognize that merging both types of technologies can be a feasible choice in specific situations. Leveraging their individual advantages can enhance renewable energy production in marine settings. How to Minimize the Environmental Impacts of Offshore Wind Farms Another aspect to think about when determining where to locate offshore wind farms is how to lessen their environmental impacts on marine life and the surrounding ecosystem. When designing offshore wind farms, it is essential to reduce the environmental impact on marine species and ecosystems, accomplished via advanced technologies and intentional strategies. Site selection emphasizes regions with high wind potential while minimizing environmental and visual impacts by steering clear of fragile habitats and shipping routes. Bigger turbines with increased power generation lower the required units, hence lessening construction-related disturbances. Environmental evaluations direct the installation and operational stages, considering potential effects on wildlife, habitats, and the seabed using methods such as cable burial, noise reduction, and strategic anchoring design. Ongoing monitoring, accountable decommissioning, and inventive floating platforms guarantee that these initiatives are effective and ecologically mindful. Bottom Line The offshore wind industry presents considerable opportunities for renewable energy but needs careful planning to address multiple challenges. Optimal sites combine robust wind potential, low environmental effects, and availability of grid connections, guaranteeing technical, financial, and legal viability. Choosing strategic sites facilitates the development of efficient, sustainable offshore wind farms, promoting advancement toward a cleaner energy future.Deal on Elgin Marbles ‘still some distance’ away, says George Osborne

Christian McCaffrey's season is likely over. Though Kyle Shanahan on Wednesday left the door open to the San Francisco 49ers' star running back returning if they overcome the odds to make the playoffs, for last season's Offensive Player of the Year the focus is now on next year. After being placed on injured reserve following a PCL injury suffered in last Sunday's defeat to the Buffalo Bills, McCaffrey conceded as such. In a post on Instagram, McCaffrey accepted that, having missed the first eight games of the year with bilateral Achilles tendinitis before seeing what was left of his campaign cut short in the Buffalo snow, the 2024 season was simply not meant to be for him. But in doing so he pledged to respond in style in 2025. A post shared by Christian McCaffrey (@christianmccaffrey) His post read: "Football is the greatest game on the planet to me. I love that you can find out exactly who you are without ever saying a word. "It lifts you up and breaks you down and it can happen fast. It’s humbling in the best ways. You can do everything right and still fail. Thats life and that’s football. It’s a constant test of wills and those who just keep going tend to reap the benefits of their perseverance. "This wasn’t my year, and sometimes when it rains, it pours. You can feel sorry for yourself and listen to the birds, or you can hold the line. I’m grateful for the support of everyone in my corner and promise I’ll work smarter and harder than ever to come back better from this. I love my teammates, I love the 9ers, and I love football. God doesn’t miss. Onward." San Francisco backed McCaffrey, who will be 29 when next season starts, to avoid the cliff many running backs hit as they approach their 30s. The Niners are expecting him to continue to thrive as he had done consistently since his 2022 trade from the Carolina Panthers prior to this injury-hit year. Having put their financial faith in him, the 49ers need McCaffrey to make good on his promise to come back stronger. This article first appeared on A to Z Sports and was syndicated with permission.

It’s important to remember that Rohit Sharma has had a stellar career in Indian cricket. His journey from being a white-ball specialist to a reliable Test opener is nothing short of remarkable. Rohit Sharma’s ongoing struggles with the bat in Test cricket have led to growing concerns about his future in the format. On December 30, 2024, during the Boxing Day Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Rohit’s poor form continued. The Indian skipper was dismissed for just 9 runs in the second innings, marking another disappointing performance in a year full of struggles. Despite facing only a few overs, Rohit edged a ball to Mitchell Marsh at gully, leaving fans and experts questioning his place in the team. Rohit Sharma in Last 15 Innings 6, 5, 23, 8, 2, 52, 0, 8, 18, 11, 3, 6, 10, 3, 9 Runs : 164 Average : 10.93 #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/iAPN9Crzmm Thank you Rohit Sharma for your services as Test Skipper and batter._ #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/wpRFadpLgi __ From 91-6 To 200-9 : Superb Turn Around For Australia __ I Am Not Someone Who Changes His Words In Every Session. Without Jasprit Bumrah This Team Is Nothing. Rohit Sharma Is India's Worst Test Captain. Thank You pic.twitter.com/mzAtxYgPX9 Thank you, Rohit Sharma pic.twitter.com/CuOau5aqU2 Thank you for your services Rohit Gurunath Sharma... It was good while it lasted... Expected you to answer your detractors with the bat but you dragged it downhill on your own ___ Pls pull off a Dhoni, take some time off and prepare for the Champions Trophy.... pic.twitter.com/SI2soauX0R Thank you Rohit Sharma for ur services for India Happy retirement legend __ #AUSvIND #RohitSharma_ pic.twitter.com/k5RseYfll9 This dismissal came on the back of a year where Rohit managed only 619 runs in 26 innings, averaging a modest 24.76. His recent statistics tell a bleak story: in his last 15 innings, he’s managed just 164 runs at a staggering average of 10.93. Such performances have led fans to express frustration, some even taking to social media with “Happy Retirement” memes, suggesting that it might be time for the 38-year-old to step away from the longest format. The Growing Speculation The criticism has not been limited to social media. Renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle also weighed in, questioning Rohit Sharma's spot in the team. Bhogle posted on X, “It is always difficult to take a call on a senior player. But can it get more difficult than when the player is the captain? Big call for the selectors in the next couple of days.” This sentiment has resonated widely, especially after Sharma’s repeated failures. In a sport that thrives on stats and performance, it’s hard to ignore the sharp decline in Rohit’s batting form. Fans, some of whom have grown increasingly disillusioned with his contributions, have begun to compare his struggles to those of other veterans like MS Dhoni, who retired from Test cricket after a poor performance during the Boxing Day Test in December 2014. The mention of Dhoni’s retirement only fuels the growing narrative that Rohit might follow suit. The Struggles at MCG: A Defining Moment Rohit's dismissal was just one piece of the puzzle. His departure was followed swiftly by KL Rahul's duck and then Virat Kohli’s wicket at the stroke of lunch, leaving India in a precarious position at 33/3 in their chase of 340 runs. This collapse highlighted the frailty of the Indian batting lineup and intensified the scrutiny surrounding Rohit. Fans, already frustrated with his lack of impact, expressed their discontent by sharing images of a retirement announcement alongside his picture, a stark reminder of the expectations he has failed to meet. The social media reaction was swift and unrelenting. “Rohit Sharma is finished, it's time to move on,” one fan wrote. Another shared a meme that read, “Rohit Sharma: Thank you for your service. Retirement time.” This digital outcry has put more pressure on the selectors, especially with the Sydney Test looming just days away. Rohit Sharma’s Legacy: A Bittersweet Farewell? It’s important to remember that Rohit Sharma has had a stellar career in Indian cricket. His journey from being a white-ball specialist to a reliable Test opener is nothing short of remarkable. His debut century as an opener in 2019 against South Africa, and his resilience in overseas conditions, are testament to his skill and adaptability. However, as age and declining form catch up with him, the question arises: has his time in Test cricket come to an end? Rohit’s future, much like the future of the Indian Test team, is now under serious scrutiny. Speculation surrounding his retirement has added an extra layer of pressure on the selectors. Ajit Agarkar, the Chairman of Selectors, has been closely monitoring the team’s performance in Melbourne, and it’s widely expected that discussions with Rohit Sharma will play a crucial role in deciding his future. Looking Ahead: The Road to Transition The pressure is mounting, and the upcoming Test in Sydney could be a defining moment for both Rohit Sharma and the Indian cricket team. If India fails to secure a win in the series, it may mark the end of an era for Rohit Sharma in the longest format. As the team transitions from its senior players to a youthful core, the selectors will need to decide if Rohit’s leadership and batting can still contribute to India’s ambitions. While fans continue to debate his place in the team, there’s no denying that Rohit Sharma’s legacy will remain a significant chapter in Indian cricket. Whether he decides to retire or make a dramatic return to form, the coming days will be crucial for the future of Indian Test cricket.
