TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Trevor Moore scored two goals and the Los Angeles Kings extended their season-opening road winning streak to eight games with a 4-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Monday.Anze Kopitar and Phillip Danault also scored and Pheonix Copley made 30 saves for the Kings, who are tied for the third-longest such streak in NHL history. Buffalo holds the record by winning its first 10 road games in 2006-07.“We are a veteran team,” Kings coach Todd McLellan said. “We have been together as a group for a long time. We understand what our structure is. Our game management skills have gotten better from the start of the year until now.“All of those things are really important when you play on the road. We seem to play a simpler game. Everybody pulls on the rope the right way. We don’t need outstanding games from everybody every night. We just need good games, and we’ve been getting them.”Lawson Crouse scored and Connor Ingram made 21 saves for the Coyotes, who played their se...La grasa abdominal oculta está relacionada con la inflamación cerebral y la demencia, según un estudio

(CNN) — La inflamación causada por la grasa abdominal puede estar relacionada con las primeras etapas de la enfermedad de Alzheimer décadas antes de que comiencen los síntomas, según una nueva investigación.“Sabemos desde hace tiempo que a medida que aumenta el tamaño del abdomen, los centros de memoria en el cerebro se hacen más pequeños”, dijo el investigador de la enfermedad de Alzheimer, el Dr. Richard Isaacson, neurólogo preventivo del Instituto de Enfermedades Neurodegenerativas de Florida.“Este estudio muestra un marcador de neuroinflamación en imágenes cerebrales que no había visto antes”, dijo Isaacson, que no participó en el nuevo estudio. “Las imágenes cerebrales vinculan la grasa abdominal o visceral con la disfunción cerebral a través de una cascada inflamatoria”.El estudio encontró que las personas de entre 40 y 50 años con una mayor cantidad de grasa abdominal oculta “tenían una mayor cantidad de una proteína anormal ll...Marshall’s double-double powers Santa Clara past Mississippi Valley State 81-39

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli troops battled Palestinian militants in a dense, urban refugee camp on Tuesday as they expanded operations across northern Gaza, where residents have been without electricity, water or access to humanitarian aid for weeks.The front line of the war, now in its seventh week, has shifted to the Jabaliya camp, a dense warren of concrete buildings near Gaza City that houses refugees from the 1948 war surrounding Israel’s creation and their descendants. Israel has been bombarding the area for weeks, and the military said Hamas fighters have regrouped there and in other eastern districts after being pushed out of much of Gaza City.Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, an Israeli military spokesman, said late Monday that Israeli forces had a “full grasp” on Jabaliya and were starting to dismantle a Hamas brigade there. It was not possible to independently confirm details of the fighting.Footage released by the military in recent days shows soldiers and tank...Stock market today: Asian shares trading mixed after Wall Street rally led by Microsoft gains

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares traded mixed Tuesday after a rally on Wall Street that was led by gains in Microsoft following its announcement that it was hiring Sam Altman, former CEO of OpenAI, the ChatGPT maker. U.S. futures were higher while oil prices fell. Chinese markets were initially lifted by a report in the financial magazine Caixin that regulators had drafted a list of property developers that will be able to tap low-cost financing. The moves to facilitate more lending come as the real estate industry remains mired in a crisis brought on by a crackdown on excessive borrowing and worsened by a broad economic slowdown. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was little changed, erasing earlier gains, and was up less than 0.1% at 17,783.77, while the Shanghai Composite inched down less than 0.1% to 3,067.93. “Hopes continue to build that China’s unabating and deepening property slump … will catch a break, if not stage a turnaround; in particular, as Beijing steps up stimulus efforts to back...Las Vegas union hotel workers ratify Caesars contract

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas hotel union workers voted overwhelmingly Monday to approve their contract agreement with casino giant Caesars Entertainment, signaling an end to lengthy labor disputes that had brought the threat of a historic strike to the Strip.The Culinary Workers Union announced on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that 99% of the vote favored the new five-year deal.“BEST CONTRACT EVER! Congratulations to 10,000 hospitality workers!,” the post said. The union is expected to also approve its proposed contracts with Wynn Resorts and MGM Resorts International, the Strip’s largest employer, later this week. The breakthrough deals were tentatively reached earlier this month, just hours before the union had threatened a massive walkout at 18 hotel-casinos on the Strip, including Bellagio, Paris Las Vegas, MGM Grand and Caesars Palace.In a statement, Ted Pappageorge, the union’s chief negotiator, said the workers had been willing to take a cut in pay if the uni...Eruption of Papua New Guinea volcano subsides, though thick ash is billowing 3 miles into the sky

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — The eruption of Papua New Guinea’s tallest volcano subsided Tuesday, but thick ash still billowed into the sky and coated roofs and palm trees nearby.One of the South Pacific nation’s most active volcanoes, Mount Ulawun erupted on Monday afternoon, spewing ash as high as 15 kilometers (50,000 feet).The alert level for the volcano on the northeastern island of New Britain was downgraded by Papua New Guinea’s Geohazards Management Division to Stage 3, which means a moderate-to-strong eruption. It had been at Stage 4 on Monday, indicating a very strong eruption. But the volcano, which stands 2,334 meters (7,657 feet) above sea level, remained active and the eruption could continue indefinitely, the division said.The Volcanic Ash Advisory Center in Darwin, Australia, reported volcanic smoke rising as high as 15,000 meters (50,000 feet) on Monday.The Papua New Guinea division reported the ash plume rising at least 5,000 meters (16,000 feet) on Tuesday before be...Agriculture output: 19% value rise fuelled by price surge
Published Sat, 28 Dec 2024 01:18:12 GMT
In 2022, agricultural output in the EU was valued at €537.5 billion in basic prices, equivalent to an increase of 19% compared with 2021. This represented a new peak and continued the upward trend that started in 2010. The change in nominal value largely reflected the sharp rise in the nominal price for agricultural goods and services as a whole (an estimated +22.8%), with the volume of the output declining moderately from the 2021 level (an estimated 3.1% lower).This information comes from the economic accounts for agriculture (EAA) for 2022 published by Eurostat today. This news item presents a handful of findings from the more detailed Statistics Explained article. Three quarters of the value of the EU’s agricultural output in 2022 came from seven EU countries: France (€97.1bn, equivalent to 18% of the EU total), Germany (€76.2bn, 14%), Italy (€71.5bn, 13%), Spain (€63bn, 12%), Poland (€39.5bn, 7%), the Netherlands (€36.1bn, 7%), and Romania (€22.2bn, 4%).All EU countries registe...Home erupts into flames after hours-long standoff in San Bernardino County
