711 betting WARWICK, R.I. , Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As travelers gear up for the busy holiday season, navigating the unpredictable flight landscape will be more crucial than ever. New data analyzed by InsureMyTrip researchers reveals which U.S. airports have experienced the highest (and lowest) percentage of delays and cancellations in 2024. Whether you're visiting family across the country or jetting off for a winter vacation, knowing which airports to avoid could save you time and frustration during one of the busiest travel seasons of the year. San Francisco and Buffalo: Travel Hotspots with the Most Disruptions San Francisco International (SFO) takes the top spot for the highest percentage of delayed flights this year, with 37.18% of flights delayed between January and June 2024 . Buffalo Niagara International (BUF) saw the highest percentage of cancellations, with 2.74% of flights scrapped. Holiday Travel to Florida and Texas ? Expect Delays Several airports in popular holiday destinations like Florida and Texas consistently appeared on the list of top airports for delays. Travelers flying through Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood (FLL), Orlando (MCO), Miami (MIA), or Tampa (TPA) in Florida , or Dallas Fort Worth (DFW), Austin-Bergstrom (AUS), and San Antonio (SAT) in Texas , should brace for potential delays this holiday season. Double Trouble in San Francisco and Miami Both San Francisco International (SFO) and Miami International (MIA) made the top 10 lists for both delays and cancellations, signaling operational challenges that could cause headaches for holiday travelers through the end of the year. Weather Woes Could Hamper Holiday Plans With weather-related delays on the rise, travelers flying through Dallas Fort Worth (DFW), Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP), and Detroit Metropolitan (DTW) should keep an eye on the forecast when making holiday travel plans.

The Importance of Travel Insurance During the Holiday Rush As airports become busier during the holidays and flight delays and cancellations become more frequent, the protection offered by travel insurance becomes even more essential. A policy may allow travelers to secure reimbursement for non-refundable trip components such as hotel bookings, tours, concert tickets, cruises, and transportation arrangements (like car rentals) that may be impacted by a flight delay or cancellation. A Comprehensive Travel Insurance Policy, for example, can provide coverage for unexpected disruptions, including weather-related and other delays, trip cancellation, missed connections, lost/delayed baggage, along with emergency medical and 24-hour assistance. Bottomline: As the holiday season approaches, this data offers a timely reminder for travelers to book strategically, stay informed about potential delays, and have backup plans in place when navigating through busy airports.

As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, the man's self-discipline challenge came to an end - not with a triumphant victory, but with a humbling defeat. He realized that true self-discipline was not just about following a set of rules or routines, but about confronting our inner fears and insecurities head-on, and embracing vulnerability as a pathway to growth and transformation.

"I didn't try to conceal anything. I tried to put down exactly how I felt." That's how former President Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at age 100, described the White House diary he published at age 85. He told Lesley Stahl that he dictated into a tape recorder seven or eight times virtually every day he was in office, and later transcribed those notes, excerpts of which became the book. As he explained in 2010 (full story above), it offers an unusually candid take on the highest office in the land – and his own disappointments. Carter railed against the late Ted Kennedy, for instance, who ran against him for the Democratic nomination in 1980. He referred to members of Congress as "juvenile delinquents," and told Stahl he considered it "blackmail" when they sought his support for a political appointee in exchange for their votes on legislation. But Carter also turned a critical eye on himself, admitting to Stahl that he alienated too many Congress members, and that his folksy style offended some of his constituents. When he insisted, for instance, that "Hail to the Chief" no longer be played when he entered a room, a public outcry forced him to reverse himself. With the country facing long gasoline lines and double-digit inflation, even Carter's own loyalists began to question him. He described a brutal Cabinet meeting to Stahl. "I think they were telling me that the public image of me was that I was not a strong leader, that I should not only arouse support from affection, but also from fear," he told Stahl. Carter agreed to alter his strategy, but he still favored diplomacy over military might — even when 52 Americans were held hostage in Iran. After a failed rescue attempt by the U.S. military, some Americans called on the president to bomb Tehran, but he refused. "We went through four years. We never fired a bullet. We never dropped a bomb. We never launched a missile," he told Stahl. "There's no doubt that usually a president's public image is enhanced by going to war. That never did appeal to me." Carter knew his legacy might suffer. In a 1985 story, Mike Wallace visited the former president at home in Plains, Georgia and asked him about his lackluster reputation. If Ronald Reagan had an untouchable "Teflon presidency," Wallace proposed, surely Carter's was the "flypaper presidency" – with Carter himself shouldering the blame when anything went wrong. "I think that's true," Carter said. "When I was there, there was no doubt who was responsible." Stahl raised a similar point in her 2010 story. Despite victories like brokering a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, normalizing relations with China, and vastly reducing our reliance on foreign oil, Carter was often remembered as a "failed" president. Yet, she noted, his image was transformed after he left office, as he committed himself to fighting disease in poor countries and helping to resolve conflicts abroad, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. "A lot of critics of yours, when you were president, say that you've been a fantastic ex-president," Stahl told him. "You hear that all the time." "I don't mind that," Carter said, laughing at the thought.

The most selected goalkeeper in a year where Liverpool are chasing the Premier League crown with mouthwatering Anfield clashes against Real Madrid and Manchester City on the horizon, this is exactly how Caoimhin Kelleher would have imagined his career progressing while coming up through ranks at the Academy. Appearances, though, can be deceptive. And although Kelleher remains the man in possession of the gloves under new head coach Arne Slot, few would forgive the Irishman having mixed emotions when celebrating his 26th birthday on Saturday. In terms of the here and now, it couldn't be going much better. Kelleher has deservedly earned plaudits for his Liverpool performances this campaign with a clutch of timely saves key to the Reds standing top of the table in both the Premier League and new-look Champions League. Federico Chiesa makes Liverpool return as Arne Slot welcomes back two more players 'Everyone's guilty' - Liverpool Premier League title claim made amid 'crazy' admission Factor in having become the Republic of Ireland's first-choice keeper - saving a penalty late on to earn a UEFA Nations League win over Finland last week - and Kelleher is now much more than the "best number two in the world" moniker he was once affectionally afforded by former Reds boss Jurgen Klopp. He is a number one. The remaining hurdle at Liverpool, however, is obvious. And it once again started to home into view this week with Alisson Becker, having been absent for six weeks with a hamstring issue, ramping up his rehabilitation by returning to the training field. The Brazilian isn't ready quite yet, and could remain sidelined for the next week, leaving Kelleher to feature against Real Madrid and, as he did last term, City. But Slot has already stated when Alisson is back fully fit, he will be restored to the starting line-up as befits a goalkeeper widely regarded as the best in the world. The injury complaints that have struck Alisson for much of the calendar year mean Kelleher, with 24 starts, is the most featured goalkeeper for Liverpool during 2024, his team-mate having made 22 starts. Vitezslav Jaros, having made his senior breakthrough this season, has one. With Giorgi Mamardashvili arriving next summer, Liverpool will potentially have four international goalkeepers on the books, a realistically untenable situation for a position in which rotation is light. Even having three, as the Reds do at the moment, is unusual. Kelleher's lengthy taste of first-team football last season whetted his appetite but clearly not those of potential suitors, with Nottingham Forest offering a derisory £7million plus Matt Turner for his services during the summer. His current run of form, though, has banished any lingering doubts over his ability at the top level. Kelleher needs regular minutes. While only six months younger than Aaron Ramsdale, he has played almost 200 club games fewer than the Southampton goalkeeper. It's therefore extremely unlikely Kelleher will want to play second fiddle again next season. But should he push for a new challenge, Liverpool's desire to gain top dollar for the Irishman could be stymied but the fact he would be entering the last 12 months of his contract. Nevertheless, his stock at present has never been higher. There will be another chance to prove that at Southampton on Sunday where Liverpool will look to maintain their firm grip on the Premier League summit. Kelleher will hope for better fortune than on his last visit to St Mary's when he shipped four goals in a daft 4-4 draw on the final day of the 2022/23 season with the hosts having already been relegated. Southampton bounced straight back up but are once again struggling at the foot of the table. However, Kelleher is adamant Liverpool won't underestimate Russell Martin's side. "We as players and the staff as well know, we're not silly," he says. "We know how good they are and the quality that these players have. I think sometimes the results don't reflect the quality that's in the actual team. "We're not going to take anything for granted. I know maybe the outside is already making some noise about us being so far ahead in the league now, but we don't really think about that. We know we can't take our foot off the gas for one second because we'll get punished." Kelleher, speaking to liverpoolf.com, adds: "There's obviously I think a big hunger in us to win more trophies and really compete at the highest level. A lot of that squad has departed now so there's not too many of the squad in there who have tasted Premier League or Champions League success. There's a lot of hunger in this new squad to achieve those kind of things."

The year 2024 has seen a remarkable surge in the stock market, with Nvidia and Palantir standing out as prominent winners, thanks to their strategic positions in the realm of artificial intelligence. Both companies have made significant strides, but which one presents a better investment opportunity now? Let’s delve into their business models, financial health, and valuation to find out. Nvidia: The AI Chip Leader Nvidia has cemented its reputation as a leader in AI-focused GPU development, largely due to its cutting-edge designs and strategic investments in technologies like its CUDA software library. This has resulted in enviable profit margins, with an operating margin reaching 62% in the recent quarter. Despite its dominance, Nvidia must navigate the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, which poses potential risks if market dynamics shift. Palantir: Harnessing Data and AI Originally established to support U.S. intelligence agencies, Palantir has expanded its capabilities to offer comprehensive data solutions across various sectors. Its suite of platforms, such as Gotham, Foundry, and their AI Platform (AIP), integrates vast data to derive actionable insights. Palantir’s model of working with a few high-value contracts gives it an edge over competitors but also comes with the challenge of defending its market positioning. Financial Showdown Nvidia’s recent revenue skyrocketed by 94% to $35.1 billion, with a notable increase in net income. Palantir also reported strong financial figures, with a 30% increase in revenue and a significant jump in profitability. However, Nvidia’s growth figures significantly outpace Palantir’s. Valuation and Verdict Evaluating their positions, Palantir’s valuations appear inflated with a high price-to-earnings ratio, making it a riskier choice. Nvidia’s growth prospects, combined with more moderate valuations, make it a more appealing buy for investors seeking exposure to AI advancements. Nvidia vs. Palantir: Unveiling the Ultimate AI Investment for 2024 In the bustling stock market of 2024, Nvidia and Palantir have emerged as frontrunners, each capitalizing on artificial intelligence’s explosive growth. As investors seek to determine which of these AI titans offers the best potential, understanding their unique features, market advantages, and potential pitfalls is crucial. Unraveling Nvidia’s Technological Edge Nvidia’s dominance in the AI sector is largely due to its superior GPU technology and associated software ecosystems. The introduction of innovations in its CUDA software library has further entrenched Nvidia as a leader in AI processing. Significantly, Nvidia’s GPUs are driving advancements in deep learning, autonomous vehicles, and even the metaverse, fortifying its market position. A closer look at Nvidia highlights the company’s dedication to sustainability, as seen in their environmentally conscious GPU production practices and energy-efficient designs, appealing to an increasingly eco-aware market. Exploring Palantir’s Unique AI Offerings Palantir distinguishes itself with a robust array of AI-driven data analytics platforms, especially Gotham and Foundry. Its strength lies in synthesizing immense datasets to deliver precise, actionable insights for various industries, including healthcare, finance, and government sectors. Recent innovations focus on enhancing their AI-driven decision-making capabilities, providing clients with real-time strategic insights. Palantir’s capacity to offer customer-specific solutions creates a strong differentiation from competitors, positioning the company as a niche leader. Financial Health and Market Dynamics Nvidia’s financial strength is undisputed, with a stellar revenue increase of 94%, reflecting the demand for AI-driven solutions across industries. In contrast, Palantir’s 30% revenue boost signifies its solid position but also hints at slower growth relative to Nvidia. One of Nvidia’s advantages is its prudent financial management, translating into better operating margins amidst semiconductor industry fluctuations. Meanwhile, Palantir’s financial strategies rely heavily on acquiring lucrative, high-value contracts, ensuring steady, although potentially less rapid growth. Valuations and Investor Outlook From a valuation perspective, Nvidia’s moderate pricing relative to growth potential makes it a compelling choice for investors focusing on AI industry expansion. Palantir’s high price-to-earnings ratio indicates market speculation and investment risk, especially if financial growth does not meet expectations. Future trends suggest Nvidia’s continuous innovation in AI technology will further cement its market leadership. Conversely, Palantir’s advancements in data-driven AI platforms resonate with organizations prioritizing strategic intelligence over sheer technical prowess. Conclusion: Which to Choose? For investors, the decision between Nvidia and Palantir hinges on risk tolerance and investment goals. Nvidia offers growth stability and expansive AI applications, appealing to those wary of market volatility. Palantir suits those looking for niche, high-value AI offerings despite the valuation risks. Ultimately, keeping an eye on industry trends and each company’s strategic moves will be vital for potential investors aiming to maximize returns in the AI-driven landscape of 2024.

Kathmandu, Nov 23: The Group of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), including Nepal have expressed reservation over the draft of climate finance provisions unveiled in the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG). The dissatisfaction has been articulated noting the draft unveiled in the 29th Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) underway in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan, did not explicitly manifest the agendas such as increasing the volume of climate finance. Though COP29 was scheduled to conclude on Friday itself, lobbying from the LDCs was still going on today since all the points of their 'agenda' have yet to be agreed upon. The Group of LDCs, G77 and China are currently pressing on rich and developed countries to implement the NCQG agenda. Chief of the Climate Management Division under the Ministry of Forest and Environment, Dr Sindhu Prasad Dhungana, who is attending the climate summit in Baku, said that some of the points unveiled regarding the NCQG were not clear. "There has been a demand from the LDCs and other Groups that the rich and developing countries should increase the size of climate finance to 250 billion annually after 2026. But, the draft of the NCQG has mentioned the timeline up to 2035. Is it going to increase after 2034? The draft does not say clearly stipulate how much money will be raised", he commented. Advocacy is constantly going on in the COP pilling pressure on the developed countries to expand the size of climate finance, Dhungana said, adding some positive results are expected by tonight. Dhungana shared that inclusion of NCQG in the COP agenda, especially mountain-based work, and the global stock-take process of reviewing efforts made to prevent climate change around the world in line with the Paris Agreement are some positive aspects of the COP29. In a press release, LDCs Group Chair Evans Njewa stated that financial support was not at the level of necessary ambition. "This undermines the current commitment of developed nations and does not reflect the ambition needed for global climate actions. Our group is disappointed to see that the draft does not reflect our hard work of three years". He went on saying that it does not take into account the issues of the most vulnerable countries, especially least developed countries (LDCs) and small island developing countries (LIDS). The proposed climate finance volume is far below the requirement and does not ensure minimum funding for the LDC, and the draft does not include new targets to address climate-related damage and damage, the LDC said.(RSS)
