The suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO struggled with deputies and shouted while arriving for a court appearance Tuesday in Pennsylvania, a day after he was arrested at a McDonald's and charged with murder. Luigi Nicholas Mangione emerged from a patrol car, spun toward reporters and shouted something partly unintelligible referring to an "insult to the intelligence of the American people" while deputies pushed him inside. Prosecutors were beginning to take steps to bring Mangione back to New York while new details emerged about his life and how he was captured. The 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family was charged with murder hours after he was arrested in the Manhattan killing of Brian Thompson, who led the largest U.S. medical insurance company. At the brief hearing, defense lawyer Thomas Dickey informed the court that Mangione will not waive extradition to New York but instead wants a hearing on the issue. Mangione was denied bail after prosecutors said he was too dangerous to be released. Mangione, wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, mostly stared straight ahead at the hearing, occasionally consulting papers, rocking in his chair or looking back at the gallery. At one point, he began to speak to respond to the court discussion but was quieted by his lawyer. A law enforcement bulletin obtained by The Associated Press said that at the time of his arrest, Mangione was carrying a handwritten document expressing anger with what he called "parasitic" health insurance companies and a disdain for corporate greed and power. He wrote that the U.S. has the most expensive health care system in the world and that profits of major corporations continue to rise while "our life expectancy" does not, according to the bulletin. In social media posts, Mangione called "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski a "political revolutionary," according to the police bulletin. Kaczynski carried out a series of bombings while railing against modern society and technology. Mangione remained jailed in Pennsylvania, where he was initially charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Manhattan prosecutors have obtained an arrest warrant, a step that could help expedite his extradition from Pennsylvania. McDonald's customer recognizes suspect Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania — about 370 kilometers (about 230 miles) west of New York City — after a McDonald's customer recognized him and notified an employee, authorities said. Officers found him sitting at a back table, wearing a blue medical mask and looking at a laptop, according to a Pennsylvania police criminal complaint. He initially gave them a fake ID, but when an officer asked Mangione whether he'd been to New York recently, he "became quiet and started to shake," the complaint says. When he pulled his mask down at the officers' request, "we knew that was our guy," Officer Tyler Frye said. Images of Mangione released Tuesday by Pennsylvania State Police showed him pulling down his mask in the corner of the McDonald's while holding what appeared to be hash browns and wearing a winter jacket and beanie. In another photo from a holding cell, he stood unsmiling with rumpled hair. New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Mangione was carrying a gun like the one used to kill Thompson and the same fake ID the suspected shooter had used to check into a New York hostel, along with a passport and other fraudulent IDs. New York Police Department Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Mangione also had a three-page, handwritten document that shows "some ill will toward corporate America." A law enforcement official who wasn't authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity said the document included a line in which Mangione claimed to have acted alone. "To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone," the document said, according to the official. It also had a line that said, "I do apologize for any strife or traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming." Thompson, 50, was killed last Wednesday as he walked alone to a Manhattan hotel for an investor conference. Police quickly came to consider the shooting as a targeted attack by a gunman who appeared to wait for Thompson, came up behind him and fired a 9 mm pistol. Investigators have said "delay," "deny" and "depose" were written on ammunition found near Thompson's body. The words mimic "delay, deny, defend," a phrase used to criticize the insurance industry. From surveillance video, New York investigators determined the shooter quickly fled the city, likely by bus. Suspect's family prays for victim's family A grandson of a wealthy, self-made real estate developer and philanthropist, Mangione is a cousin of a current Maryland state legislator. Valedictorian at his elite Baltimore prep school, he went on to earn undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a spokesperson said. "Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi's arrest," Mangione's family said in a statement posted on social media late Monday by his cousin, Maryland Delegate Nino Mangione. "We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved." From January to June 2022, Luigi Mangione lived at Surfbreak, a "co-living" space at the edge of touristy Waikiki in Honolulu. Like other residents of the shared penthouse catering to remote workers, Mangione underwent a background check, said Josiah Ryan, a spokesperson for owner and founder R.J. Martin. "Luigi was just widely considered to be a great guy. There were no complaints," Ryan said. "There was no sign that might point to these alleged crimes they're saying he committed." At Surfbreak, Martin learned Mangione had severe back pain from childhood that interfered with many aspects of his life, from surfing to romance, Ryan said. Mangione left Surfbreak to get surgery on the mainland, Ryan said, then later returned to Honolulu and rented an apartment. Martin stopped hearing from Mangione six months to a year ago.

Governor Uba Sani has said his administration has taken steps to improve rural communities, enhance security, and drive economic growth in Kaduna State within less than two years of his assumption of office. The governor made this statement during an interactive session on Thursday at the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), noting that the government has addressed security challenges and directed the state toward the much-needed road to economic development and growth. Sani, who was represented at the occasion by his Principal Private Secretary (PPS), Professor Bello Ayuba, explained that “no doubt, there has never been any administration in the history of Kaduna State that achieved so much within a short time and with limited resources like the present government.” According to him, in less than two years, the administration in Kaduna State has been rapidly transforming rural communities through massive infrastructural development, the revival and revitalization of the health and educational sectors, frontally fighting poverty, and strengthening partnerships with security forces to secure the state. Stressing the area of security, he noted that the government has forged a solid partnership with federal security forces to secure Kaduna State by giving them logistics support to enhance their operations, just as the government distributed 150 operational vehicles and 500 motorcycles to them and the Kaduna State Vigilance Service (KADVS) to boost their operations. Besides, he stressed, the state government has signed the Kaduna State Security Trust Fund Bill into law. He said, “The trust fund will raise funds for the acquisition and deployment of even more security equipment, personnel, and materials, as well as the training of security personnel. “Through the efforts of the Peace Dialogue Group established by the Kaduna State Government in collaboration with federal agencies and security services, peace has returned to Birnin Gwari. “On November 29, the governor reopened the famous and strategic Birnin Gwari Market, which had been closed for about 10 years, thus signaling the commencement of commercial activities. Above all, the long-abandoned Birnin Gwari Road has come back to life. Similarly, Kidandan Market in Giwa Local Government of Kaduna State, which had not been patronised for several years owing to insecurity, has been opened. Indeed, this marks the beginning of the return of peace and stability to Giwa Local Government. “Significantly, Governor Uba Sani has been embarking on massive rural development by extending infrastructure development to all local government areas, with the goal of supporting rural communities to achieve rapid economic growth and development. In this regard, the government has undertaken 68 road projects, covering a total of approximately 700 kilometers across the three senatorial districts.” The government further pointed out that human capital development is one of the pivots of the Governor Sani administration, and for this reason, it has improved access to education and revived the health sector. “So far, the Kaduna State Government has built 62 new secondary schools, comprising 39 junior and 23 senior secondary schools, across the three senatorial districts. Besides, approval has been given for the construction of an additional 50 secondary schools across the state. Upon completion, these new schools are expected to enroll over 100,000 students, further solidifying Kaduna State’s commitment to providing inclusive and accessible education for all. Also, 2,000 qualified teachers have been recruited, awaiting deployment to these newly completed schools. “In addition, the government has constructed 2,326 new classrooms, renovated 707 classrooms, supplied 30,742 two-seater pupil’s furniture, provided 3,704 teachers’ furniture, and constructed 918 VIP cubicle toilets and 51 hand pump boreholes in schools across the state,” he added. The Sani administration was also said to have placed agriculture at the center of Kaduna State’s development agenda, noting that in the last 18 months, Kaduna State has become a beacon of hope for smallholder farmers, an engine of economic growth, and a model of agricultural excellence. “Under the remarkable palliative programme, Sustainable Livelihoods through Social Interventions and Economic Empowerment, the Get Back to the Farm initiative has breathed new life into the agricultural sector. The government has distributed vital inputs—high-quality seeds, fertilizers, agrochemicals, and farming equipment—to 41,693 smallholder farmers and cooperatives across all 23 LGAs. This initiative is a game-changer for our farmers, restoring their livelihoods and driving increased productivity across the state. “Significantly, the Uba Sani administration undertook the largest free fertilizer distribution in Kaduna State’s history, with the distribution of 500 trucks of fertilizer from which 240,000 bags were given out free to 120,000 smallholder farmers. The government has also invested heavily in both mechanization and micro-mechanization of the agricultural sector. Indeed, the last time the state invested in mechanization through the procurement of tractors was in 2010, but this government has procured 12 heavy-duty tractors that can handle large-scale commercial farming and complex and difficult farming operations “Since assuming office in May 2023, Governor Uba Sani has placed a high premium on bringing succor to the poor, vulnerable, and underserved in Kaduna State. In this regard, he has been carrying out pro-poor measures to bring needed relief to Kaduna State citizens, first by signing an Executive Order on Financial Inclusion. By so doing, the governor has shown commitment to addressing the exclusion of the poor, underserved, and vulnerable from financial services and ensuring that they benefit from social intervention programs of Kaduna State and the Federal Government. “The aim is to empower people with tools like savings accounts, credit, insurance, and digital payment options, enabling them to participate in the formal financial system, manage their finances, and build economic resilience,” he added.Romanian voters have delivered a split decision in the country's presidential race, with Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu and centre-right challenger Elena Lasconi emerging as the top contenders. Exit polls indicated Ciolacu, representing the social democrats, secured around 25% of the votes, establishing a slight lead. Elena Lasconi, from the centre-right, captured approximately 18% of the vote, positioning both candidates for a competitive run-off. The second round of voting is set for December 8, promising a fiercely contested race between the two political factions. Experts suggest the outcome could significantly impact Romania's political landscape, as the nation prepares for a decisive electoral face-off between these leading figures.

Government departments are on a collision course with unions unsatisfied with proposals to raise pay for more than a million public sector workers by 2.8% next year. Inflation is predicted to average 2.5% this year and 2.6% next year, according to forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility. The British Medical Association said the Government showed a “poor grasp” of unresolved issues from two years of industrial action, and the Royal College of Nursing called the pay recommendation “deeply offensive”. The National Education Union’s chief said teachers were “putting the Government on notice” that the proposed increase “won’t do”. The pay recommendations came after Chancellor Rachel Reeves called for every Government department to cut costs by 5%, as she started work on a sweeping multi-year spending review to be published in 2025. Independent pay review bodies will consider the proposals for pay rises for teachers, NHS workers and senior civil servants. The Department of Health said it viewed 2.8% as a “reasonable amount” to set aside, in its recommendations to the NHS Pay Review Body and the Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration Board remit groups. A 2.8% pay rise for teachers in 2025/26 would “maintain the competitiveness of teachers’ pay despite the challenging financial backdrop the Government is facing”, the Department for Education said. The Cabinet Office also suggested pay increases for senior civil servants should be kept to no more than 2.8%. Paul Johnson, director of the influential economics think tank the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), said it was “not a bad ballpark figure” and feels “just about affordable” given the Government’s public spending plans. The downside, he said, is that public sector workers have lost out since 2010 and unions will be upset that this is not making up the gap, he told Sky News’ Politics Hub with Sophy Ridge. “But given the constraints facing the Chancellor I think it’s pretty hard to argue for more for public sector pay when public sector services ... are under real strain,” he said. Unions expressed their disappointment in the recommendations, with some hinting they could be willing to launch industrial action. The Royal College of Nursing general secretary and chief executive called for “open direct talks now” to avoid “further escalation to disputes and ballots”. Professor Nicola Ranger said: “The Government has today told nursing staff they are worth as little as £2 extra a day, less than the price of a coffee. “Nursing is in crisis – there are fewer joining and too many experienced professionals leaving. This is deeply offensive to nursing staff, detrimental to their patients and contradictory to hopes of rebuilding the NHS. “The public understands the value of nursing and they know that meaningful reform of the NHS requires addressing the crisis in nursing. “We pulled out of the Pay Review Body process, alongside other unions, because it is not the route to address the current crisis. “That has been demonstrated today. “Fair pay must be matched by structural reform. Let’s open direct talks now and avoid further escalation to disputes and ballots – I have said that directly to government today.” Professor Philip Banfield, chairman of the British Medical Association’s council, urged the sector’s pay review body to “show it is now truly independent”. “For this Government to give evidence to the doctors’ and dentists’ pay review body (DDRB) believing a 2.8% pay rise is enough, indicates a poor grasp of the unresolved issues from two years of industrial action,” he said. He said the proposal is far below the current rate of inflation and that the Government was “under no illusion” when doctors accepted pay offers in the summer that there was a “very real risk of further industrial action” if “pay erosion” was not addressed in future pay rounds. “This sub-inflationary suggestion from the current Government serves as a test to the DDRB. “The BMA expects it to take this opportunity to show it is now truly independent, to take an objective view of the evidence it receives from all parties, not just the Government, and to make an offer that reflects the value of doctors’ skills and expertise in a global market, and that moves them visibly further along the path to full pay restoration.” The NEU’s general secretary, Daniel Kebede, said teachers’ pay had been cut by more than one-fifth in real terms since 2010. “Along with sky-high workload, the pay cuts have resulted in a devastating recruitment and retention crisis. Teacher shortages across the school system hit pupils and parents too. “A 2.8% increase is likely to be below inflation and behind wage increases in the wider economy. This will only deepen the crisis in education.” In a hint that there could be a return to industrial action he added: “NEU members fought to win the pay increases of 2023 and 2024. “We are putting the Government on notice. Our members care deeply about education and feel the depth of the crisis. This won’t do.” The offer for teachers is the “exact opposite of fixing the foundations” and will result in bigger class sizes and more cuts to the curriculum, Pepe Di’Iasio, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: “The inadequacy of the proposed pay award is compounded by the Government’s intention that schools should foot the bill out of their existing allocations. “Given that per-pupil funding will increase on average by less than 1% next year, and the Government’s proposal is for an unfunded 2.8% pay award, it is obvious that this is in fact an announcement of further school cuts.” Paul Whiteman, general secretary at school leaders’ union NAHT, said: This recommendation falls far short of what is needed to restore the competitiveness of the teaching profession, to enable it to retain experienced professionals and attract new talent. Unison head of health Helga Pile said: “The Government has inherited a financial mess from its predecessors, but this is not what NHS workers wanted to hear. “Staff are crucial in turning around the fortunes of the NHS. Improving performance is a key Government pledge, but the pay rise proposed is barely above the cost of living.”

Ross Barkley’s 85th-minute winner gave them victory after they had twice squandered the lead in Germany. John McGinn and Jhon Duran goals at the start of each half were cancelled out by Lois Openda and Christoph Baumgartner. But Barkley had the final say less than two minutes after coming off the bench as his deflected effort earned the points which sent his side third in the new Champions League league phase. The top eight automatically qualify for the next stage and with games against Monaco and Celtic to come, Unai Emery’s men are a good bet to avoid the need for a play-off round in their first foray in this competition. Leipzig are out, having lost all six of their games. Villa enjoyed a dream start and were ahead with less than three minutes on the clock. Matty Cash, playing in a more advanced position on the right, crossed for Ollie Watkins, who nodded down into the path of McGinn and the skipper made no mistake from close range. That gave the visitors confidence and they had enough chances in the first 15 minutes to have the game wrapped up. Lucas Digne’s cross from the left was begging to be converted but Watkins could not make contact from close range and then Morgan Rogers shot straight at Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi. Then Youri Tielemans found himself with time and space on the edge of the area from Watkins’ tee-up but the Belgium international disappointingly dragged wide. All that good work was undone in the 27th minute, though, as Emiliano Martinez was left red-faced. The Argentinian was too casual waiting to collect Nicolas Seiwald’s long ball and Openda nipped in to get the ball first and tap into an empty net. Duran was introduced at the break and needed just a couple of minutes to fire a warning when he drilled wide after a loose ball fell to him 14 yards out. But the Colombian got his goal in the 52nd minute, though it was another moment for the goalkeeper to forget. Duran was invited to drive forward and unleashed a 25-yard shot, which was hardly an Exocet, but still was too much for Gulacsi, who barely even jumped. It was his 10th goal of the season and sixth from the bench as he continues his super-sub role. The striker was not complaining and he thought he had doubled his tally shortly after when he converted Cash’s centre but the provider was ruled offside by VAR. Five minutes later, Villa found themselves pegged back again with a finish of real quality. Openda was sent clear by another long ball and his cross was perfect for Baumgartner to cushion a far-post volley back across goal and into the corner. Digne brought a save out of Gulacsi and then Openda shot straight at Martinez as both sides pushed for a winner. It was Villa who got it as Barkley saw his deflected effort wrong-foot Gulacsi and hit the back of the net. Elsewhere, Real Madrid revived their Champions League title defence by winning a tough encounter at Atalanta 3-2. Goals from Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham were enough for Madrid to win in Bergamo and move up to nine points from six matches. Bayern Munich won 5-1 away to Shakhtar Donetsk while PSG came away from RB Salzburg with a 3-0 victory.

Finnish authorities on Thursday seized a ship carrying Russian oil in the Baltic Sea on suspicion it caused the outage of an undersea power cable connecting Finland and Estonia a day earlier, and that it also damaged or broke four internet lines. The Cook Islands-registered ship, named by authorities as the Eagle S, was boarded by a Finnish coast guard crew which took command and sailed the vessel to Finnish waters, a coast guard official told a press conference. “From our side we are investigating grave sabotage,” Robin Lardot, Director of the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation, said. “According to our understanding, an anchor of the vessel that is under investigation has caused the damage,” he added. The Finnish customs service said it had seized the vessel’s cargo and that the Eagle S was believed to belong to Russia’s so-called shadow fleet of ageing tankers that seek to evade sanctions on the sale of Russian oil. Two fibre-optic cables owned by Finnish operator Elisa linking Finland and Estonia were broken, while a third link between the two countries owned by China’s Citic was damaged, Finnish transport and communications agency Traficom said. A fourth internet cable running between Finland and Germany and belonging to Finnish group Cinia was also believed to have been severed, the agency said. Both the Finnish and the Estonian governments will hold extraordinary meetings later on Thursday to assess the situation, they said in separate statements. Baltic Sea nations are on high alert for potential acts of sabotage following a string of outages of power cables, telecom links and gas pipelines since 2022, although subsea equipment is also subject to technical malfunction and accidents. Repairing the 170-km (106-mile) Estlink 2 interconnector will take months, and the outage raised the risk of power shortages during the winter, operator Fingrid said in a statement. The Eagle S Panamax oil tanker crossed the Estlink 2 electricity cable at 1026 GMT on Wednesday, a Reuters review of MarineTraffic ship tracking data showed, identical to the time when Fingrid said the power outage had occurred. The ship was stationary near the Finnish coast on Thursday afternoon, with a Finnish patrol vessel stopped nearby, the data showed. United Arab Emirates-based Caravella LLCFZ, which according to MarineTraffic data owns the Eagle S, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Peninsular Maritime, which, according to MarineTraffic acts as a technical manager for the ship, declined to comment outside of the company’s opening hours. Damage to subsea installations in the Baltic Sea has now become so frequent that it is difficult to believe this was caused merely by accident or poor seamanship, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said in a statement. “We must understand that damage to submarine infrastructure has become more systematic and thus must be regarded as attacks against our vital structures,” Tsahkna said. The 658 megawatt (MW) Estlink 2 outage began at midday local time on Wednesday, leaving only the 358 MW Estlink 1 in operation between the two countries, operator Fingrid said. Twelve Western countries on Dec. 16 said they had agreed measures to “disrupt and deter” Russia’s so-called shadow fleet of vessels in order to prevent sanctions breaches and increase the cost to Moscow of the war in Ukraine. “We must be able to prevent the risks posed by ships belonging to the Russian shadow fleet,” Finnish President Alexander Stubb said in a post on social media X on Thursday. Lithuanian foreign minister Kestutis Budrys said the growing number of Baltic Sea incidents should serve as a stark and urgent warning to NATO and the European Union to significantly enhance the protection of undersea infrastructure there. Police in Sweden are leading an investigation into the breach last month of two Baltic Sea telecom cables, an incident German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has said he assumed was caused by sabotage. Separately, Finnish and Estonian police continue to investigate damage caused last year to the Balticconnector gas pipeline linking Finland and Estonia, as well as several telecom cables, and have said this was likely caused by a ship dragging its anchor. In 2022 the Russia-to-Germany Nord Stream gas pipelines running along the seabed in the same waters were blown up, in a case still under investigation by Germany.From wealth and success to murder suspect, the life of Luigi Mangione took a hard turn

The 440 V, 4 pole AC solar surge protection device [ https://www.mlele.com/spd/]or the AC SPD with T1 + T2 along with Imax 50Ka acts as a protector for effective energy infrastructure against possible surge threats. This new product successfully incorporates elements of technological excellence and simplicity to provide a valuable solution in the field of solar energy solutions. This article further drills down on different aspects of this AC SPD, demonstrating some aspects of and types of SPDs, liabilities as well as other benefits it trims in addition to the compliance and essentiality aligned with energy security. Image: https://i216.goodao.net/uploads/16.png A brief on the knowledge of Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) SPDs are an essential feature in electrical devices since they shield equipment from voltages that are considered high. These transient durations of a few cycles in the current are due to various reasons such as lightning strikes, power outages, or switching operations and can result in catastrophic degradation of electrical components thereby resulting in high costs of repair and lost production. SPDs reduce this risk by blocking all extra voltage from imposing itself on the delicate apparatus hence giving the system a long life and high efficiency.

Indeed, even in integration of solar panels into existing power systems, amplifies the system's susceptibility and its intricacies. A special kind of SPD called an AC SPD is capable of solving these issues and guarding against both direct and other kinds of surges. An AC SPD such as the Premium 440V 4p incorporated in these solar energy systems, means that the systems shall be more reliable and efficient and able to power through any climatic or environmental condition. Key Features of the Premium 440V 4p AC Solar SPD High-end parameters are specific to the design of the Premium 440V 4p AC Solar SPD, making it unique in terms of the SPDs available in the market. Below are the key attributes that make this device a must-have for any solar energy system: Below are the key attributes that make this device a must-have for any solar energy system: 1. Insulated Terminal Among all the points which are described in this AC SPD, the Insulated Terminal is the most important. Large and deep center-hole threaded terminal provides better and easier rail-type wiring than small terminal types. This also serves to make the connection more secure such that cases of loose connections, which may harm the system, do not occur. The insulated terminal also acts as a safety measure since it protects them from coming across a live terminal hence minimizing the chances of being shocked. 2. Standard Mounting Rail There is the feature referred to as the Standard Mounting Rail featured in the design of the Premium 440V 4p AC SPD to facilitate Easy Installation. The arrangements of the tight buckle ensure that the particular device is firmly stuck to the guide rail with the bonus of a secure fit, free from loosening up and becoming a cause for worry. This configuration also helps to fix the device securely while making the installation process less complicated, and it will prevent the unit from getting displaced due to vibrations or any other force that may come its way. 3. Seiko Manufacturing is strong and sturdy. As highlighted from the design to the process selection of this AC SPD, the approach Seiko Manufacturing adopts is a true testament to the durability and reliability of their manufacturing solutions. Through the continuing cycle of polishing as well as intense testing, the device arrives at the state of being as close to perfection as possible. This kind of emphasis leads to a product that, beyond having an inherent sturdiness, can perform uniformly across its lifespan. Some of the conditions that we come across in day-to-day usage can be very harsh, weather changes or even usage of the equipment for very many hours or days can easily affect other devices. 4. High Surge Capacity AC SPD has a surge current rating of 50ka this sort of AC SPD can manage the surge currents. With this high surge capacity, it guarantees that even if the power surges to a higher value the device is capable of handling it to protect the equipment connected to it and enhance the overall stability of the system. This feature becomes important especially to solar energy systems since they are sensitive to the surrounding environment. 5. T1+T2 Protection This AC SPD includes all protection levels from T1+T2 which suggests it can overcome all kinds of direct and indirect surges. T1 protection is for handling the maximum energy let-through, often from surges induced by lightning and T2 protection is for controlling lesser energy surges created by switching operations or other forms of transients. These two levels of protection furthermore guarantee the solar energy system against a broad frequency of surge incidents and therefore, increases the solar energy system's reliability. 6. User-Friendly Design The installation of the Premium 440V 4p AC SPD is easy and this product is among the favorite of many users due to the design that is easy for everyone to use. The placing and presence of the device enables its installation and maintenance to take the shortest duration possible. Maintenance and control aspects are quite stringent since the labeling is clear and all the components are easily accessible so that users can easily connect and manage them hence reducing the time taken by the device to be up and running. This paper seeks to explore the importance of AC SPDs within sustainable energy. However, opposite to the theme of sustainable energy, the part of AC SPDs is quite essential. It is important to note that surge protection devices are very useful in areas where the tendency to utilize renewable energy sources is seen throughout the world. Of all the renewable energy systems, solar energy systems are known to have a higher possibility of developing surge-related problems due to the different environmental factors and also because of the relatively complicated interfaces with electrical networks. Specifically, these are: The challenges above are tackled directly by the Premium 440V 4p AC Solar SPD which provides a safe solution that increases the life cycle of solar power systems. By shielding against fluctuations it promotes the effectiveness of the solar paneling, inverters, and other parts that are used in energy systems and thus elongates the life of all components; thus the efficiency of the energy system that has been put in place is enhanced, making the system a sustainable one. Image: https://i216.goodao.net/uploads/31.png In Conclusion, that is why the Premium 440V 4p AC Solar Surge Protection Device [ https://www.mlele.com/high-quality-onccy-440v-4p-ac-solar-surge-protection-device-ac-spd-t1t2-imax-50ka-product/ ] can be considered an innovative and qualitative step in the field of protection of solar energy installations. This AC SPD specifically provides complete safeguards for solar energy systems since it has an insulated terminal, standard mounting rail, and Seiko manufacturing quality, it can have high surge capacity, T1+T2 protection, and has a user-friendly design. By incorporating this device into systems that deal with solar power, the users can maintain and establish secure energy, especially as it treats any unexpected electrical spikes. With renewable energy being the way to go in the fight against climate change and reduced use of fossil fuels, it would be quite tragic if surge protection were to fail at the most crucial times. The mentioned device called premium 440v 4p ac spd operates to increase the security and productivity of the solar energy systems as well as serves in the advancement of sustainable energy solutions. As we continue to look forward to a cleaner environment, developments such as the Premium 440V 4p AC Solar SPD shall act as the baseline to come up with more reliable and efficient energy solutions.

Chargers place two players on IRTrans People Shouldn't Be Scapegoated for Democrats' Failures Vice President Kamala Harris speaks onstage during a Pride celebration on June 28, 2023, in Washington, DC. (Tasos Katopodis / Getty Images for GLAAD) Donald Trump's election victory foreshadows an administration that will likely seek to not just dismantle but destroy the regulatory state, while promoting a narrow vision of what America should be and who should benefit from living here. But as election results continue to trickle in, it has also become clear that the governing majority needed to achieve these goals may not be as robust as it was projected on election night. Trump failed to win 50 percent of the popular vote, and the GOP's House and Senate majorities are both razor-thin. Yet instead of thinking about how this unexpectedly small mandate on how this could be used for their advantage, a subset of Democrats have decided to spend their time saying that the true reason for the 2024 election loss lies with some of their coalition's most vulnerable members: transgender Americans and the allies that seek to protect their civil rights. Almost immediately after Trump's victory, a number of Democratic politicians, as well as major advisers in the party's inner and outer circles, rushed to the airwaves and their social media accounts to say that the party had lost touch with the average... https://www.thenation.com/authorsA melee broke out at midfield of Ohio Stadium after Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday. After the Wolverines' fourth straight win in the series, players converged at the block "O" to plant its flag. The Ohio State players were in the south end zone singing their alma mater in front of the student section. When the Buckeyes saw the Wolverines' flag, they rushed toward the 50-yard line. Social media posts showed Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson carrying the flag on a long pole to midfield, where the Wolverines were met by dozens of Ohio State players and fights broke out. Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer was seen ripping the flag off the pole and taking the flag as he scuffled with several people trying to recover the flag. A statement from the Ohio State Police Department read: "Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games and will continue to investigate." Michigan running back Kalel Mullings on FOX said: "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game. It's bad for the sport, bad for college football. At the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose, man. "You can't be fighting and stuff just because you lost the game. We had 60 minutes and four quarters to do all that fighting. Now people want to talk and fight. That's wrong. It's bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better." Once order was restored, officers cordoned the 50-yard line, using bicycles as barriers. Ohio State coach Ryan Day in his postgame press conference said he wasn't sure what happened. "I don't know all the details of it. But I know that these guys are looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren't going to let that happen," he said. "I'll find out exactly what happened, but this is our field and certainly we're embarrassed at the fact we lost the game, but there's some prideful guys on our team that weren't just going to let that happen." The Big Ten has not yet released a statement on the incident. --Field Level Media

FOX News Digital Overtakes CNN With Total Digital Multiplatform Unique Visitors in OctoberMarcus Lum Autonomous vehicles operated by the Airport Authority will be leaving the airport's restricted area for the first time at the end of 2025, ferrying passengers between SkyCity shopping mall 11 Skies and the Hong Kong port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. The authority said 26 self-driving vehicles will come into service in the first phase of the trial operation. Each vehicle can accommodate up to 16 people including a driver and travel up to 40 kilometers per hour, according to the authority's executive director of airport operations Steven Yiu Siu-chung. Autonomous vehicles use technology to partially or entirely replace a human driver in navigating while avoiding road hazards and responding to traffic conditions. "It takes about three minutes to travel from the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge port to SkyCity on the other side of the Airportcity Link," Yiu said. "After passengers finish shopping, they can take these shuttles back to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge port and then choose their preferred mode of transportation to travel to Macau or Zhuhai." Yiu said each autonomous vehicle is equipped with 11 cameras with image analysis functions. "If the vehicle deviates from its designated route, we can immediately identify where the problem occurred," he said. The vehicle also has four external surveillance cameras, four internal cameras, four GPS systems and an event data recorder. Yiu said the hardware ensures back-end staff immediately know routes taken by the autonomous vehicles as well as their technical parameters. They will then be able to discover and resolve issues as soon as possible. He added that a central vehicle control subsystem installed in each vehicle allows staffers to remotely monitor their operations. When asked whether safety mechanisms have been installed in the autonomous vehicles to prevent accidents, Yiu said that back-end staff will override the vehicles' control in the worst-case scenario but that had "rarely occurred" during test runs. Yiu said the fleet will be able to carry 500 passengers in each direction per hour at the initial stage, but capacity will eventually increase to 1,000. The authority also plans to expand the fleet's route to Tung Chung by 2028, he said. "By then we expect to have 100 autonomous vehicles in service, with one-way hourly capacity hopefully increasing from 5,000 to 8,000 passengers in 2028, depending on how many vehicles we put into service," Yiu said. He added that an elevated bridge will be built to connect the airport with Tung Chung and the bridge will have a dedicated lane for autonomous vehicles. marcus.lum@singtaonewscorp.comA melee broke out at midfield of Ohio Stadium after Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday.
