When you walk into an intimidating environment expecting success, it goes spectacularly and spectacularly wrong.No, we’re not referring to Monty Panesar’s appearance on Celebrity Mastermind in 2019. The show featured a surprise appearance by the former England international spinner in the turbulent Ashes reinforcements as he was embroiled in an altercation with current Australian international batsman Steve Smith. Instead, we are talking about England’s fate in the first Test. As you can probably tell by now, that game didn’t end well for them. It was a poor start for them too (172 all out, 33 overs on the first day),…
Daniel Gray and her husband Douglas and their dog.Provided by: Daniel GrayOn October 23, the day after Daniel Gray’s 56th birthday, he received an email that seemed like a dream come true. The U.S. Department of Education would forgive his student loan balance of more than $170,000.”I couldn’t believe it,” Gray said. “This is the first time I’ve been debt-free since I turned 18.”But this sense of relief wasn’t all that surprising. Gray began repaying her student loans in the 1990s and was eligible for loan cancellation under the terms of an income-driven repayment plan. IDR plans erase the loan…
Reuters — A Nigerian court on Thursday convicted separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu on all seven terrorism-related charges after a decade-long trial that stoked tensions in the country’s southeast. Judge James Omotosho said the prosecution, which sought the death penalty for Kanu, had proven that his now-banned broadcasts and orders to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group incited deadly attacks on security forces and civilians. The violence was part of his push for an independent state of Biafra in the Igbo-controlled region, which sought to break away as the Republic of Biafra in 1967, sparking a three-year civil war that…
Nottingham Forest earned a deserved 3-0 win at Anfield, while Liverpool suffered a sixth defeat in their last seven Premier League games, but not without controversy.Two weeks after VAR intervened to invalidate Virgil van Dijk’s equalizer against Manchester City, which he had scored in similar circumstances, the technique failed when Murillo plucked past Alisson from a corner kick, leaving Dan Ndoye in an offside position. The Premier League Match Center announced that even though Ndoye was standing right in front of Alisson, “Ndoye was out of Alisson’s field of vision.” Forest could and probably should have taken a two-goal lead…

Meta is considering entering the power trading business to accelerate the construction of new power plants needed to provide energy to data centers. Bloomberg reported that both Meta and Microsoft are seeking federal approval for the power deal (Apple has already received this approval). Mehta says this reduces risk by allowing them to make long-term commitments to buy power from new power plants while also allowing them to resell some of that power on the wholesale power market. Uruvi Parekh, Meta’s global head, told Bloomberg that power plant developers “want to know that electricity consumers are willing to put their…

As the end of the year approaches, it’s a good time to make sure your tax office is in order. This is especially important for crypto investors given the new IRS intermediary reporting requirements for transactions after January 1, 2025.The IRS typically treats virtual currencies as assets similar to stocks and real estate, so selling virtual currencies can result in capital gains or losses. And while crypto investors should always have a good record, new reporting requirements have given them an even more compelling reason to do so. That’s because brokerages now have to submit what’s called a Form 1099-DA.…
