Doechii Teases Potential Music Video For “Denial Is A River” With A “Family Matters” Twist
The widow of 'Only Fools and Horses' legend John Challis, Carol, has shared a poignant moment from her visit to his graveside over the festive period. Touched by the heartfelt decorations festooned on his grave at Leintwardine in Herefordshire, Carol took to social media to reveal how residents paid tribute with a wreath, blooms and even a small Christmas tree adorning his final resting place. Overwhelmed with emotion, Carol posted: "I've just had a little weep. The people at Wigmore Abbey, Steve, Andrea and Victoria went to see John early this morning and left all this Christmas loveliness for him. Never forgotten, Challis." Heartened by the gesture, she mused on the unwavering remembrance of her late spouse, the iconic 'Boycie' actor who dwelt in the famed Wigmore Abbey - a setting that shone in the 'Only Fools' spin-off 'The Green Green Grass'. In a touching tweet brimming with nostalgia, Carol recalled lost loved ones, sharing: "Especially over Christmas, my thoughts have been with my much loved and missed mother Libby, father Denis, nephew Simon and my darling husband. All gone. All those memories."

The family of the late John Challis, beloved for his role as 'Boycie', released a heartfelt statement: "He will always be loved for being 'Boycie' and leaves a great legacy of work that will continue to bring pleasure and smiles for many years to come," reports the Mirror . The Express covered the story, noting the family's plans to hold a celebration of John's life in the future, open to all. His health had sharply declined before his passing, with Sir David Jason commenting on This Morning: "It wasn't a complete surprise because poor old John hadn't been well for the last month or two. But he went downhill so fast, very rapidly, that one minute we were thinking he was on the road to recovery and sadly it just took him." At the time, his family said the actor died "peacefully in his sleep, after a long battle with cancer" and encouraged donations to Cuan Wildlife Rescue, Tusk, or the British Hedgehog Preservation Society in his memory. Posthumously, it was revealed that John's will instructed for his estate to go to his fourth wife Carol, whom he married in 1995. John had previously been married to Carol Robertson, Debbie Arnold, and Sabina Franklyn, but did not have any children. His headstone bears a subtle tribute to the much-loved sitcom; the inscription reads: "John Challis - actor - 1942-2021, I am here." A line fans of Only Fools will instantly recognise from the classic episode featuring psychic Elsie Partridge holding a séance with Del Boy, Rodney Trotter, and Boycie in attendance. Elsie channels a spirit calling for someone named Audrey... no, Aubrey. In the silent room, Boycie speaks out, "I am here," revealing his middle name is Aubrey. "You never said your name was Aubrey," Trigger remarks, to which he retorts: "Nor would you if your name was Aubrey."

New Tesla Shockwave: Gamers Rejoice! Future of Trading Evolves
Losses for big technology stocks pulled major indexes lower on Wall Street. The S&P 500 fell 0.4% Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.3% from its record high a day earlier, and the Nasdaq composite lost 0.6%. Losses for Nvidia, Microsoft and Broadcom were the biggest weights on the market. Dell sank 12.2% after reporting revenue that fell shy of forecasts, and HP dropped 11.4% after giving a weaker-than-expected outlook. Treasury yields fell in the bond market. U.S. financial markets will be closed Thursday for Thanksgiving, and will reopen for a half day on Friday. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Stocks wavered in afternoon trading on Wednesday, as losses for several Big Tech companies offset gains elsewhere in the market. The S&P 500 fell 0.4% in afternoon trading, even though more stocks were rising than falling in the index. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 135 points, or 0.3%, as of 3:05 p.m. Eastern time. Both indexes set records on Tuesday. The Nasdaq composite fell 0.5%. Losses for tech heavyweights helped pull the broader market lower. Semiconductor giant Nvidia slipped 1.6%. Its huge value gives it outsized influence on market indexes. Microsoft fell 0.9% Several personal computer makers added to Big Tech's heavy weight on the market following their latest earnings reports. HP sank 11.8% after giving investors a weaker-than-expected earnings forecast for its current quarter. Dell slumped 11.9% after its latest quarterly revenue fell short of Wall Street forecasts. Gains for financial and health care companies helped counter Big Tech's downward pull. Visa rose 0.9% and Thermo Fisher Scientific added 2.3%. The U.S. economy expanded at a healthy 2.8% annual pace from July through September, according to the Commerce Department, leaving its original estimate of third-quarter growth unchanged. The growth was driven by strong consumer spending and a surge in exports. The update follows a report on Tuesday from the Conference Board that said improved in November, but not by as much as economists expected. Consumers have been driving economic growth, but the latest round of earnings reports from retailers shows a mixed and more cautious picture. Department store operator Nordstrom fell 8.5% after warning investors about a trend toward weakening sales that started in late October. Clothing retailer Urban Outfitters jumped 19.1% after beating analysts’ third-quarter financial forecasts. Weeks earlier, retail giant Target gave investors a discouraging forecast for the holiday season, while Walmart provided a more encouraging forecast. Consumers, though resilient, are still facing pressure from inflation. The latest update from the U.S. government shows that inflation accelerated last month. The personal consumption expenditures index, or PCE, rose to 2.3% in October from 2.1% in September. Overall, the rate of inflation has been falling broadly since it peaked more than two years ago. The PCE, which is the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation, was just below 7.3% in June of 2022. Another measure of inflation, the consumer price index, peaked at 9.1% at the same time. The latest inflation data, though, is a sign that the rate of inflation seems to be stalling as it falls to within range of the Fed's target of 2%. The central bank started raising its benchmark interest rate from near-zero in early 2022 to a two-decade high by the middle of 2023 and held it there in order to tame inflation. The Fed started cutting its benchmark interest rate in September, followed by a second cut in November. Wall Street expects a similar quarter-point cut at the central bank's upcoming meeting in December. “Today’s data shouldn’t change views of the likely path for disinflation, however bumpy," said David Alcaly, lead macroeconomic strategist at Lazard Asset Management. "But a lot of observers, probably including some at the Fed, are looking for reasons to get more hawkish on the outlook given the potential for inflationary policy change like new tariffs.” President-elect Donald Trump has said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China when he takes office in January. That could shock the economy by raising prices on a wide range of goods and accelerating the rate of inflation. Such a shift could prompt the Fed to rethink future cuts to interest rates. Treasury yields slipped in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.25% from 4.30% late Tuesday. The yield on the two-year Treasury, which more closely follows expected actions by the Fed, fell to 4.22% from 4.25% late Tuesday. U.S. markets will be closed Thursday for Thanksgiving, and will reopen for a half day on Friday. Damian J. Troise And Alex Veiga, The Associated Press

A majority do not believe Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) should remain Speaker of the House, an AmericaFest straw poll revealed. Charlie Kirk, founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, posted the results from the straw poll conducted at the convention, which took place December 19-22, 2024, at the Phoenix Convention Center. According to the survey’s results, only 22 percent approve of Johnson, who recently came under fire for his failure to negotiate a sound spending deal on behalf of Republicans. Most, 62 percent, disapprove of his performance as Speaker. The straw poll also asked attendees, “Do you think Mike Johnson should remain Speaker of the U.S. House?” Most, 58.8 percent, said that he should not remain Speaker, and only 13.7 percent believe he should remain Speaker. Over one-quarter, 27.5 percent, remain unsure: This coincides with the results of a Rasmussen Reports poll, which found that just 38 percent view Johnson at least somewhat favorably — down from 44 percent who viewed him favorably in April. As Breitbart News detailed : Of that 38 percent, only 14 percent have a “very” favorable impression. Another 36 percent have at least a somewhat unfavorable view of Johnson. Of those, 19 percent view him “very” unfavorably. Another 27 percent remain unsure. ... When asked if Johnson is better or worse than the most recent speakers of the House — the last being Kevin McCarthy — 41 percent across the board said he is “about the same,” while 24 percent said he is worse and 20 percent said better. A plurality of Democrats, Republicans, and independents believe Johnson is “about the same,” but another 33 percent of Democrats said Johnson is worse. Twenty-six percent of independents and 13 percent of Republicans agree. Johnson’s Speakership hangs in the balance after initially negotiating a disastrous 1,537-page continuing resolution (CR), full of pork, which included a pay raise for members of Congress. The spending deal infuriated many conservatives in both the House and Senate, and the deal lawmakers finally landed was still viewed as a gift to Democrats, as not one of them opposed it. “I will vote for someone other than Mike Johnson,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) reiterated this week. “I’m not persuaded by the ‘Hurry up and elect him so we can certify the election on J6’ argument,” the congressman continued, adding that a “weak legislative branch, beholden to the swamp, will not be able to achieve the mandate voters gave Trump and Congress in November”: Other members have hinted they could be open to supporting someone else on January 3, as well.

The Central Maine Community College maintenance crew — Brian Landry, left, Dan Graham and Matthew Walker — built the Public Service Simulation Center at CMMC in Auburn. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal The school has a maintenance team made up of three CMCC graduates, who were tapped to build what is known as the Public Service Simulation Center. The concrete, sprinkler system, heating and air conditioning and plumbing were contracted out. Everything else was done by the trio. Dan Graham is the facilities director at the school. He graduated from the electrical program in 2002, studied electromechanical engineering and was a foreman with a commercial construction company. Brian Landry graduated in 1997 and is the school’s electrician. Matthew Walker is a 2022 graduate of the carpentry program and is the school’s master carpenter. He was still a student when he began working on the building. “We built an electronics lab after I graduated,” Graham said. “The president of the college at the time hired myself and another former graduate to design the current electronics lab. And then when I graduated, they hired me on to build it.” The school saves a lot of money by doing such projects itself, but it is not focused solely on the bottom line, according to Graham. “An architect gave us basically the structural plans for the building,” he said, “and then basically everything else design wise was done by us.” That means everything from paint color to fixtures, ceiling, lighting and the layout of the rooms. The process allows the school to customize the building to the needs of the program at a fraction of the cost. In this case, it got a $2 million building for $1 million, paid with grant money and capital funds. The trade-off was time. It took twice as long to build, but it includes some unique features and functions. There is a classroom with all types of electronics, including cameras and microphones in the simulation areas so instructors can monitor what is happening live in a control room or play back specific scenes to show students what they did right or wrong. There is also an armory room where all the weapons outfitted with a laser system are locked down. Dan Graham stands in a doorway of the Public Service Simulation Center at Central Maine Community College in Auburn. The room has moveable walls so students or emergency workers in training can simulate dangerous situations. The lighting in the ceiling was created by the team from CMCC to suit the needs of the room and has been copied around campus. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal The back section of the building can be blacked out and has interlocking panels that can be assembled to simulate a house or building that trainees must navigate, fake blood and all. Locker rooms include showers so students can clean up after physical exercises in the grassy area behind the center, which can often include mud. There is also a garage that can be used for simulations that require more space. Walker had the sharpest learning curve of the trio, working one day a week on the building as he attended classes. “I would come in and we’d frame,” he said. “I got a really good part of setting the trusses on the roof, but then, by the time I finished graduating, we still had a lot of the exterior.” So he painted and installed tile in the bathrooms, ceiling tiles and custom ceiling tile lighting. To make it symmetrical, the tiles had to be centered in the room or hallway at an angle, which was challenging, Walker said, but one of his favorite parts of the project. “Putting that at an angle was a real highlight — it’s different,” he said. “You never see anything like that, you know. I mean, when you work in a job like this, and you start to notice those things.” The worst part, Walker said, was insulating the building. “We sheathed it, then we wrapped it in ice and water shield,” he said. “We wrapped it in foam, and then we wrapped it again in sheathing. So, we literally circled this building five times (to comply with codes), just before we could put siding on.” Walker was guided by the more experienced Graham, who acted as foreman and electrician Landry, who worked for 15 years in commercial construction before joining CMCC. For Landry, the toughest part was working alone for the most of the time. “I did all the electrical — if it’s an outlet, light projector on the wall fire alarm system, security system, ethernet cable, speakers, everything,” he said. “Wire up the boilers, wire all the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) equipment.” When Landry was not wiring something, he would help build walls or with anything else that needed be done. The best part, he said, was finally seeing the project completed. Other projects at the campus had to be prioritized, while some had to be put off until the building was completed. Matthew Walter stands outside the armory room used to store StressVest training weapons at the Public Service Simulation Center at Central Maine Community College in Auburn. Walker was a student when he began working on the building. He is now a master carpenter at the school. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal “I kind of like seeing the finished product, especially the amount of time we put into it,” Graham said. “The thing I don’t like about it is how much we lose on the rest of the campus, because there’s a lot of stuff that I walk by and you see nicks in the wall and like, man, I wish I had time to fix that, but I gotta put this fire out first.” All three men said they like to see how people react to the finished product, which is not the only project they have tackled together. “You get a lot more pride in what you do because you see it every day,” Graham said. “You see how people react to it, and that’s kind of my favorite thing in the whole project is watching other people react to the spaces when they go in.” Students use the center about 90% of the time. When school is not in session and on weekends, the facility is used by those in local, state and federal law enforcement for training. In their downtime, the three men have differing interests. Graham said he likes to work on antique cars. “I’ve got a lot of old race cars,” he said. “I like playing sports — basketball. I was national championship in basketball, so I like playing sports. I’m coaching my daughter’s team now.” Landry says one of the reasons he took the job was to be able to spend more time with his family. “Watching my kids grow up,” he said, “and being part of their sports teams. Coaching and being able to see their games, going to practices and just being a dad.” Landry said he also enjoys snowmobiling and a little golf, but mumbled something about getting too old to do some of the things he used to do. Walker, the youngest of the trio, said he loves that he can be the cross-country coach at Bruce M. Whittier Middle School in Poland. “I do a lot of restoring of antique furniture,” he said, “and I have a whole collection of old antique power tools that I’ve restored and hand tools that I’ve restored.” “Working” is a monthly feature highlighting an individual, group or business and focuses on what they do for their job.
