BlackRock has moved nearly $1 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum to Coinbase while the crypto ETF markets for these two assets face heavy outflows. The large transfers were captured on Arkham Intelligence, showing coordinated flows from BlackRock’s ETF-linked wallets into Coinbase Prime across two consecutive days. BlackRock’s BTC and ETH Transfers Exceed $1 Billion The latest deposits included 6, 735 BTC and 64, 706 ETH, representing one of BlackRock’s biggest on-chain moves this month. These transfers followed another round of activity from the previous day, when 3, 064 BTC and 64, 707 ETH (totaling almost $500 million) were deposited into Coinbase. Together, the two-day total crossed $1 billion, highlighting aggressive fund movement across BlackRock’s spot ETF products. It also means that it is the third successive day the firm would be making these transfers. On Monday, BlackRock deposited BTC and ETH worth millions into Coinbase. All assets were sent to Coinbase Prime since it is BlackRock’s core settlement and execution platform for its spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Record Significant Outflows This activity comes during a tough period for ETF flows. According to SoSoValue data, U. S. Bitcoin Spot ETFs recorded a net outflow of about $373 million. The biggest withdrawals were from BlackRock’s IBIT, with over $523 million, in one day. Other issuers reported mixed results, but none matched the scale of BlackRock’s outflows. According to ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, this outflow was IBIT’s worst day. He further said that Bitcoin ETFs now have up to $13. 3 billion total outflows in the last month. This amount represents 3. 5% of their total assets under management. However, he emphasized that IBIT continues to dominate the industry with $25 billion year-to-date inflows, making it to rank sixth among all ETFs. Ethereum ETFs also struggled. BlackRock remains the most popular provider of ETFs despite experiencing outflows. IBIT is its most lucrative ETF and ETHA is the top Ethereum product among other Ether ETFs. These movements indicate how liquidity can shift quickly as institutional funds make moves in the markets. Macro Uncertainty Weighs on Crypto The timing is notable. Bitcoin is still experiencing pressure following recent losses, and Ethereum is still experiencing poor liquidity. There has also been a weakness in sentiment in the broader markets. The crypto market is currently facing macro uncertainty before the release of Nvidia’s report earnings, FOMC minutes, and America’s employment statistics. Despite the outflows, the large Coinbase deposits do not imply direct selling. The asset manager may be preparing the cryptocurrencies for ETF creation, redemption, or internal liquidity adjustments.

How to harvest plants for Trials – ARC Raiders
The harvest plants Trial in ARC Raiders asks players to collect plants. It sounds simple. Unfortunately, actually finding plants can be tough, and even when you do find them, some don’t count! The good news is that there is one location which let ensure you hit the 3-star reward and even hopefully bump you up a rank. How to harvest plants The best place to farm the harvest plants Trial is on Dam Battlegrounds in a Night Raid or Electromagnetic Storm. Go to Hydroponic Dome Complex to find Moss, Mushrooms, and Great Mullein. These are the three plant types that count towards the harvest. Unfortunately, picking fruit (Prickly Pears, Apricots, etc) does not count towards the Trial. Once you arrive at the Hydroponic Dome Complex, search each of the buildings. Moss tends to grow on the larger canisters in each room while Great Mullein and Mushrooms can appear inside the water vats in the big buildings. After the area is clear, search through the swamp to the south. Sometimes there are Mushrooms on the trees and Great Mullein growing in the water. Your points are doubled when completing Trials in a Night Raid or similar big map event. You should get roughly 500 points per harvest, meaning you’ll need roughly eight to complete the 3-star Trial. However, if you’re chasing a highscore on the leaderboard, try to keep going and get as many as possible. Ideally, you’ll do this in a team to minimize your chances of getting surprised and downed. When playing solo, I managed to extraction with a cool 7, 000 points.

BBC Shetland star pays sweet tribute to ‘incredible’ on-screen wife as she joins cast
Shetland will be back tonight as Tosh and Ruth continue to work on their latest case Shetland star Lewis Holden, who plays Billy McCabe in the BBC series, has paid tribute to his on-screen wife, who has joined the cast this series. Billy has taken on a more central role in the storyline, and for the first time, he was able to shoot scenes away from the police station. This series marks the first time the case touches on Billy’s personal life. His wife, Morag, had previously worked with the victim, Eadie Tulloch, in the Shetland social services department. While Eadie’s late husband Robert was once Billy’s sergeant in the police. The Tullochs were mentors and friends to the McCabes, so Eadie’s death will be very difficult for them. Particularly when the spotlight of the investigation unearths difficult questions. While fans were thrilled to see the beloved character have a main storyline, the actor has opened up about what it was like to play after Billy’s wife, Morag, was also welcomed to the cast. Lewis began, “This series, we finally get to meet Mrs McCabe, Billy’s wife, Morag. She’s fab! It was great having Leigh Biagi on set and exploring the personal life of Billy away from the station. “Billy and Morag have been together for some time now. They have a great wee house, that is to die for, with just seals and seabirds for neighbours. They are living the ‘Good Life’ and are very happy, but trouble is brewing.” Paying tribute to his on-screen wife, the actor went on, “Having Leigh playing Morag has been incredible. We didn’t know each other before this series, but we hit it off right away. I think we look like a longstanding couple! “We’re always so fortunate to have such a wonderful guest cast. Year after year, they are always brilliant.” The synopsis for tonight’s episode reads, “Chris and Hayley’s attempts to pay off their spiralling debts go violently wrong, with a Lunniswick local getting caught in the middle. “Calder and Tosh question Stevie only to face the wrath of Amy as she grows more protective. Isobel worries as she tries to hold her family together, a pregnant Jess sneaks out to meet a mysterious friend, and a weary Tom is forced to make some tough sacrifices. Sandy makes steady progress into Eadie’s finances, leading him to a troubling conclusion.”.

Hazbin Hotel season 2 ending explained: Did Charlie save Hell once more?
The final episodes of Hazbin Hotel season 2 return to the central conflict between Heaven and Hell and conclude with Charlie preventing a full-scale war. Hazbin Hotel season 2 episode 7 reveals Vox’s secret weapon, which is powered by the abducted Lucifer and directed at Heaven’s defenses. In response, Charlie forms a coordinated plan with her friends at the Hazbin Hotel to counter the broadcast, dismantle the weapon, and calm rising tensions. At the same time, Emily and Sir Pentious work from Heaven’s side to encourage understanding and delay retaliation. Through these combined efforts, the weapon is ultimately destroyed, and both realms avoid direct conflict. However, the events in Hazbin Hotel season 2 episode 8 introduce unanswered questions about alliances, redemption, and emerging threats. Disclaimer: This article contains major spoilers. Read at your own discretion. What happened in Hazbin Hotel season 2 ending? The finale confirms that Charlie successfully saves Hell again. Vox initiates his plan by revealing a massive cannon powered by Lucifer, whom he abducts after disguising himself as Charlie. When Angel Dust appears on a broadcast declaring redemption a joke, under hypnosis, tensions escalate quickly. Vox activates the weapon, and Heaven’s defenses begin to collapse. Lute urges retaliation, but Sera chooses another path after sharing a conversation with Sir Pentious. She orders the angels to stand by, allowing Emily to descend to Hell and speak with Charlie about a peaceful approach. In Hell, Charlie regroups and plans a counter-broadcast. With Baxter’s technical help, she intends to show proof of actual redemption to undermine Vox’s narrative. As all parties move to stop the cannon, the combined forces manage to destroy it. Pentious then appears and confirms his own redemption from Heaven. Though chaos surrounds the Hazbin Hotel season 2 finale, the crisis is averted. Charlie prevents a catastrophic war, maintains her mission, and keeps Hell from falling into deeper destruction. By the time the episode ends, the Hazbin Hotel is more active than ever, showing hopeful movement toward lasting change. Did Vox succeed in his war with Heaven? The end of Hazbin Hotel season 2 reveals shifting power among Hell’s overlords. Vox’s plan collapses after Alastor outsmarts him. Throughout the season, Alastor appears limited by contracts and tricks, but the finale shows he is one step ahead. He uses clever wordplay to break free from Vox’s binds, turning the situation in the group’s favor. Vox loses control of the cannon and his scheme falls apart. Meanwhile, Velvette faces Nifty in a surprising clash. Nifty defeats her alone, revealing abilities that were previously unseen. But the Vees remain a looming presence. Despite failing to destroy Heaven, they redirect public opinion. With Angel Dust’s manipulated broadcast and the aftermath of the finale, Valentino emerges as the new “Boss Daddy,” reinforcing his influence over Hell. Lucifer, however, plays a minimal role in the conflict. After being abducted to power Vox’s weapon, he remains sidelined for most of the episode. His lack of agency becomes one of the season’s unresolved elements. Still, his situation sets up new interpersonal tension within Charlie’s family as the Hazbin Hotel season 2 progresses. Did Angel Dust return to the hotel? After being hypnotized and used as a spy, Angel Dust becomes central to Vox’s propaganda. Even after the battle, Angel Dust chooses not to return to the Hazbin Hotel. He insists that he has signed his soul away and the people in the hotel are not safe if he’s around, fearing that the Vees might use him again against them. Although the effect of Angel’s departure is visible, the Hazbin Hotel thrives. More demons arrive with genuine intentions to change. The connection between Heaven and Hell also strengthens. Sera listens to Pentious’s message about empathy, Abel talks Lute down from an aggressive stance, and Emily reaches Hell to communicate with Charlie. Tensions remain, but both realms begin to understand each other more deeply. Did Lilith finally answer Charlie’s call? Throughout the season, Charlie repeatedly tries to contact her mother, Lilith, hoping for guidance in running the hotel. Each attempt ends in voicemail, both in the previous season and in the latest episodes. In the finale, after leaving another long message, Charlie’s phone unexpectedly rings. When she answers, Lilith is finally on the other end. Hazbin Hotel season 2 concludes with Charlie preventing another Heaven-Hell war, dismantling Vox’s plan, and reinforcing the hotel’s mission, but the closing moment shifts focus to her long-awaited connection with her mother, opening the door to further exploration of their relationship. All episodes of Hazbin Hotel season 2 are available for online streaming on Prime Video.

Guterres and Lula to push negotiators at COP30 as deadline looms
BELEM, Brazil (AP) Two global power players will spend Wednesday pushing negotiators to find compromises at United Nations climate talks in Brazil’s Belém, where a self-imposed deadline is rushing up fast. U. N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres roamed the meeting rooms on Tuesday, while Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was set to join the COP30 talks Wednesday morning. “The arrival of President Lula and Antonio Guterres is hugely significant and suggests the hosts think we should have some kind of deal passed today,” said Mohamed Adow of the Kenyan environmental organization Power Shift Africa. “You don’t generally have the president coming into the talks midway through the second week, without something to show for it.” Raising the possibility of a historic outcome, Greenpeace Brazil Executive Director Carolina Pasquali said: “The COP is nearing the endgame and the joint arrival of both Lula and Guterres gives a clear political signal that they mean business.” Excluded issues expected to be discussed Wednesday is an important day in the plans of the Brazilians running the conference on the edge of the Amazon. Even though the talks are scheduled to go until at least Friday, COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago gave negotiators a Wednesday deadline for a decision on four interconnected issues that were initially excluded from the official agenda: whether countries should be told to toughen their new climate plans; details on handing out $300 billion in pledged climate aid; dealing with trade barriers over climate and improving reporting on transparency and climate progress. Along with those four issues is a push by scores of countries, rich and poor, for a detailed road map on how to phase out fossil fuels. And that’s key to the part about toughening new climate plans for a shot at limiting future warming to 1. 5 degrees Celsius (2. 7 degrees Fahrenheit), the global goal set in 2015’s Paris Agreement. Two years ago, after days of contentious debate, climate talks agreed to language calling for a transition away from fossil fuels coal, oil and natural gas but since that time, little has been done to clarify or amplify on that one sentence. Protesters inside and outside the conference venue kept pushing for a phaseout. Lula and fossil fuels Lula, in talking to leaders earlier in Belem, boosted the efforts of coming up with more details on how to wean the world from the fuels that emit heat-trapping gases, the chief cause of climate change. The Brazilian president has also been pushing for more participation in a new multibillion international fund financed by interest-bearing debt instead of donations, called the Tropical Forests Forever Facility. It seeks to make it more lucrative for governments to keep their trees rather than cut them down. Iskander Erzini Vernoit, director of the IMAL Initiative for Climate and Development, an independent think-tank based in Morocco, said it won’t be easy for Guterres and Lula to find common ground among negotiators. “Various apparent impasses still remain, and chief among these from an African point of view is the unwillingness of the EU and other rich countries to engage on their obligation to provide climate finance,” Erzini Vernoit said. Implementation is key to cut global warming Going into this two-week conference, Brazilian leaders emphasized the importance of focusing on implementation, starting action on agreements, targets and pledges already made, over new deals. If nations met the goals set at past climate talks of tripling renewables, doubling energy efficiency and cutting methane by 2030, the rate of global warming could be cut by a third within a decade and a half by 2040, according to a new report by Climate Analytics. Neil Grant, a climate policy analysis expert and lead author of the report, said this could rescue the goal set a decade ago in the Paris Agreement. While climate leaders have conceded that the world is on track to overshoot this climate goal, Grant said: “We have the tools to transition away from fossil fuels. Although the hour is dark, we still have agency.” “Right now in COP 30 in Belém, it’s our future that we’re seeing being played out,” said Dev Karan, a 17-year-old youth climate activist. “The decisions made right now on paper will in fact translate into the future that we’re going to experience one day.” ___ The Associated Press’ climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

(Guest opinion) Carol Hawkins: It’s time to transition off fossil fuels
Colorado faces a difficult choice, transition off fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy or continue to jeopardize our environment and health. Transition, will cause economic and social disruption for workers and communities. Consequently, any “just transition” requires solutions that mitigate the negative consequences while simultaneously eliminating the deadly pollution caused by burning fossil fuels. I have lived in Weld County since purchasing my house in 2017. I lived in Maine at the time, near the end of an ”unexpected journey” watching my partner die from Alzheimer’s. I decided to move back to Colorado where I had family and a history of living in the state since the early 1970s. I wanted familiar surroundings. I searched online and found the perfect bungalow, my retirement home, in Ault, a rural town in a good location between Greeley and Fort Collins. I had no idea of the influx of fracking about to come. Shortly after moving, I received a forced pooling notice. I went from grief and PTSD to a sense of doom. Fracking! What did this mean for my quiet life and my health? The facts about fracking and the impacts were easy to find, but fighting the frack hasn’t been easy. Weld County, otherwise known as “Welled” County, remains the most polluted and fracked in the state. My neighbors, many who work in oil and gas, are mostly working class, and others are first-time home owners looking for affordable housing or long-time residents. Local government is staffed by those who appear unaffected by fracking. When wells were drilled next to the Highland School campus, located in the middle of town, I called the Ault Town Office and Weld County Oil and Gas to question why the drilling was so close to the school when SB 181 called for 2, 000-foot setbacks. The Ault Town Office said that they had no knowledge of drilling near the school, although it was happening just down the street, and the Weld County Oil and Gas Office laughed off my reference to SB 181 with the comment “those rules are easy to get around.” And I’ve come to learn that he is right. All you have to do is look at the loopholes. One is home rule, the other is reverese setbacks. I then turned to the state and began to protest permits, but soon learned that state regulators and the governor support the fossil fuel industry. However, outside of Colorado, a global consensus calls for a “just transition” away from fossil fuels. The planet is heating, driven by greenhouse gases from extracting and burning fossil fuels like oil and fracked gas. Agreements from COP28 called for net-zero emissions by 2050. Current research, developed by analyzing efforts toward a “just transition” around the world, provides principles that guide policy development: governmental support, dedicated funding streams, strong and diverse coalitions, and economic diversification to address the short-term impacts and long-term needs that workers and communities. Colorado must come together around this framework of principles for a “just transition,” but the transition from fossil fuels to renewables will still disrupt existing economies, and some communities may face economic hardship due to the loss of jobs and tax revenue from the fossil fuel industry. However, we must make the hard choice to experience the gains from a clean energy economy and healthy environment. Colorado’s current environmental damage and health impacts are not sustainable and challenge communities reliant on oil and gas to make the hard choice we need a “just transition” off of fossil fuels. Stop the permits and clean up the mess while supporting displaced workers and disproportionately impacted communities, like Ault. Carol Hawkins is a retired English professor who moved back to Colorado from Maine in 2017. She was served a forced pooling notice in 2018 and has been part of the resistance to fracking ever since. Her focus centers on health impacts and damage to our environment, with a particular interest in health care and job training for displaced oil and gas workers, along with support for disproportionately impacted communities like hers in Ault.

Sarah Leonard says city in ‘good place’ for next Visit Longmont CEO
During her time with Visit Longmont, Sarah Leonard tried to champion Longmont’s best features. From its excellent breweries to its convenient location along the Front Range, Leonard made sure to listen to what Longmont fans loved about the city. Leonard served as the chief executive officer of Visit Longmont, the destination marketing organization for the city, from early 2023 until earlier this month. On Dec. 1, Leonard will become the CEO of Visit Estes Park, which promotes the amenities of the Estes Park region. As CEO of Visit Longmont, Leonard guided the nonprofit through decisions aimed at making Longmont a true tourist destination. One of those decisions was the sponsoring the Ice Climbing and Dry Tooling World Cup, which was held at Longmont Climbing Collective in February. The event attracted athletes from around the world. By sponsoring and spreading the word about the event, Visit Longmont helped bring the ice climbing competition to Longmont for the first time. Longmont Climbing Collective, which has a five-year deal to host the competition, is already gearing up for next year’s World Cup weekend. “I just think that is the right size, the right vibe,” Leonard said of the competition. “Teams came and spent time at our hotels and also at our short-term rentals.” Another recent addition to the city’s tourism sector was the Longmont Tourism Improvement District. The special district places an additional fee on lodging businesses in the city, and the revenue will fund marketing programs and tourism improvements for Longmont. Visit Longmont spearheaded the formation of the district, talking to hotel partners about the program early last year. The Longmont City Council approved the establishment of the LTID in August. The proposed 2% tourism improvement district fee is estimated to raise an additional $450,000 annually. While the district is still in its infancy, Leonard believes that the revenue generated by the LTID will strengthen Longmont’s reputation as a vibrant place to visit. “It all goes into a pool for destination marketing, which makes, I think, Longmont more competitive,” Leonard said. “When we bring in new visitors who stay overnight, they’re spending more time and then more money supporting our local businesses. That can benefit everyone.” Leonard also presided over Visit Longmont during the birth of its mascot, Monty the Longmonster. Monty was chosen by locals to be the face of the city and can be spotted at community events. Leonard anticipates staying involved in Longmont’s activities going forward, citing “great collaboration” between the northern Colorado destination marketing organizations. Reflecting on what makes Longmont stand out as a tourist destination, Leonard highlighted the city’s museum, evolving food scene and diverse population. “Having that infusion of culture is really appealing to both visitors and residents,” she said. Applications for Visit Longmont CEO are open for another week. Leonard said she hopes the next leader of the nonprofit will take advantage of the new events coming to the region, such as the Sundance Film Festival. “Longmont is in such a good place for the next person to really take it to the next level, because it has so many exciting things going on,” she said.

Goodhue’s No. 1 Prep Bowl assignment: Slow down the state’s No. 1 player
GOODHUE It would be understandable if Goodhue would look at the game tape from two weeks ago and cringe when they saw the damage being done against perennial state and southeastern Minnesota power Caledonia. It’s one guy in particular from that Class 2A state quarterfinal football game with Jackson County Central who’d make them nervous. That’s Roman Voss, the No. 1 recruit in the state who next year will bring his 6-foot-4, 230-pound package of athleticism and will to the University of Minnesota. He rushed for 245 yards and five touchdowns against Caledonia, annually one of the best defenses in the state. He’s a load. And he’s fast. And strong. And quick. And decisive. And he’s coming to the Class 2A Prep Bowl at 4 p. m. Friday at U. S. Bank Stadium with the idea that he will do to Goodhue what he’s done to pretty much everybody else he’s faced this year en route to rushing for 1, 534 yards and an absurd yards-per-carry average of 11. 6 as the Huskies’ run-first quarterback. “He’s a once-in-a-lifetime kid for the high-school level,” Jackson County Central coach Tom Schuller said. “It takes a lot of guys to stop him. And we are pretty decent up front. So it’s going to have to be a really good defense to slow him down.” Enter Goodhue and its really good defense. The Wildcats ranked No. 1 in the state in Class 2A with an average of 7. 4 points allowed per game are nowhere close to giving up on the idea that they can slow down Voss. Goodhue is a proven bunch of stoppers. In four of its last five games it has allowed a total of 14 points. That includes a 24-7 win over Holdingford on Friday, Nov. 14, in the state semifinals. In facing Jackson County Central, it must be admitted, though, that the Wildcats are facing a different kind of athlete. The Huskies are not only unbeaten and the defending state champions, but they are demolishing everyone in their way this season. In 12 games they’ve outscored their opponents 244-28. Their 51. 8 points per game average is the best in the state in Class 2A. “We haven’t had a close game all year,” Schuller admits. Well, Goodhue likes its chances of breaking that trend. The Wildcats believe they have the talent and the approach to do it. They do so all while knowing that Voss isn’t a one-man gang. He has a huge and athletic offensive line led by 6-7, 292-pound South Dakota State University recruit Weston Rowe in front of him, and some dangerous running backs to hand the ball off to. But yes, they especially have Voss, the guy who decided between national power Alabama and Minnesota as his future college home. The guy who’ll play tight end for the Gophers but is big and fast (runs the 40 in 4. 6 seconds) enough to play anywhere on a high school field (they’ve used him at defensive end and safety on defense). To all of those accolades, the Goodhue players and coaches have one response: “Bring it on.” “If you don’t want to go against the best players, then what do you want out of high school sports?” Goodhue dazzling quarterback/safety Luke Roschen said. “I am confident that we can do well against them.” The Wildcats do have a plan. It is pretty basic in its nature, even primal. It is to hit Voss like he’s never been hit before. To have one guy initially wrap him up, then send four others to rush at him and smack him to the ground. “He is a big dude, and we know he’s going to be the best player we’ll have faced all year,” Goodhue standout 6-2, 220-pound linebacker Jack Carlson said. “It’s a thing where it is going to take everyone to get him under control. We have to hit him hard. There can be no missed tackles. We can’t let him get outside and break free.” Roschen agrees. This has to be an entire team thing. “We’ve not seen anyone who is as good a runner as him, with the size and speed that he presents,” Roschen said. “So we have to gang tackle him every time he runs the ball. We need to punish him with a lot of people hitting him every time. If he runs it 50 times and gets hit by five people every time, that’s going to take a toll on him. We’re going to rally to the ball and hit him more than any team has hit him all year.” Schuller says that is a fine strategy, but has proven difficult to really make work. That’s because loading up the box to stop Voss will leave other areas and players open, and with a team loaded with speed, the Huskies can take advantage of all of that single-minded concentration in stopping Voss to burn teams, be it with the pass or by handing the ball to one of its fleet of talented running backs. Remember, Jackson County Central is the defending state champion and it did it with Voss not even in the lineup for the state title game last year, as he was injured. So, while this team has an undeniable leading man, it has balance, too. “You have to pick your poison, because it takes a lot of guys to stop (Voss),” Schuller said. Still, above all, it gets back to Voss. He’s that good. “He’s the real deal,” Goodhue coach Tony Poncelet said. “Not only is he strong, but he’s fast. We have to be disciplined and sound and have to pursue hard to get to the ball. It’ll be a team effort to slow him down. He is a horse.”.
