Beyoncé made an unexpected on-track appearance at the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix on Sun., Nov. 23, drawing widespread attention as she and Jay-Z arrived at the paddock ahead of the race. The singer was first photographed in a white racing-style jumpsuit zipped to the neckline as she walked through the paddock before the race, as Formula 1’s official accounts highlighted her arrival. Beyoncé also shared her own look inside the Grand Prix, posting a video on Instagram that showed her stepping into the passenger seat of a Ferrari supercar before taking a high-speed hot lap with Lewis Hamilton. The clip captured the pair preparing for the run, with Beyoncé captioning it simply: “Give it to Mama.” Jay-Z, dressed in an all-black outfit, was photographed walking through the paddock with Beyoncé as the pair made their way toward the garages and hospitality suites before the race. The visit marked one of the most high-profile celebrity sightings of the weekend, which has evolved into one of the most entertainment-driven stops on the global F1 calendar. Hamilton was seen speaking with both Beyoncé and Jay-Z throughout the afternoon. The two previously crossed paths during a Grand Prix in 2009, and Hamilton has long been one of the most visible figures connecting Formula 1 with music, fashion and pop culture. Their appearance added to the celebrity atmosphere surrounding the Las Vegas stop, which has quickly become one of Formula 1’s most entertainment-forward weekends since debuting in 2023. They weren’t alone. Travis Scott, Cynthia Erivo, Magic Johnson, Brooks Nader, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Gordon Ramsay, Ciara and Ben Affleck were also spotted across the weekend a reminder that the Las Vegas and Miami Grands Prix are increasingly functioning like music-adjacent cultural events as much as major sporting showcases.

DeSimone scores go-ahead goal in 3rd and Mammoth beat slumping Rangers 3-2 to stop 4-game skid
By JOHN COON SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Nick DeSimone scored the tiebreaking goal 7: 32 into the third period and the Utah Mammoth beat the scuffling New York Rangers 3-2 on Saturday night to snap a four-game losing streak. JJ Peterka and Clayton Keller also scored for the Mammoth, who overcame a 2-1 deficit in their seventh comeback victory this season. Karel Vejmelka made 20 saves. Vladislav Gavrikov and Artemi Panarin scored for the Rangers, who have lost four consecutive games all in regulation and three by one goal. They finished 0-3 on their Western Conference road swing. Jonathan Quick stopped 31 shots in a terrific performance for New York. DeSimone scored unassisted off a deflection for his second goal this season and first game-winner. Utah struck first on Peterka’s goal at the 10: 08 of the first period. Peterka poked in the puck with his stick from behind Quick’s skate. Gavrikov tied it at 15: 19 when Adam Fox’s pass redirected off the shaft of his stick. Panarin gave the Rangers the lead at 8: 07 of the second when he scored on a breakaway, with the puck squeezing through Vejmelka and dribbling across the goal line after he initially made the stop. Keller pulled the Mammoth even following a takeaway by Kailer Yamamoto, snapping the puck over Quick from close range at 11: 15. DeSimone fired a slap shot off the shin pad of a Rangers player to put Utah ahead. Up next Rangers: Host the St. Louis Blues on Monday night. Mammoth: Host the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday night. ___.

Crypto News: Crypto Crash Sparks Curiosity: Forced Seller Unwinds, Say Glassnode Co-Founders
Glassnode co-founders disclose that the crypto crash was brought about by forced seller unwind, rather than market sentiment. This mechanical unwind is a sign of a precipitous turnaround. The crash of Bitcoin and the crypto market as a whole has nothing to do with the evolving attitude, according to Glassnode co-founders Jan Happel and Yann Allemann, analysing under the Negentropic alias on X. They reveal that one forced seller mechanically unwound their position, triggering the downward trend since October 10. This is a limited, systematic decrease in risk by a single harmed liquidity provider or fund rather than a natural market movement. Analysts observe 21 days of steady toxic flow, marked by sell-offs at the same timestamps and across thin market venues. This inflexibility and absence of typical market volatility patterns suggest mechanical trading rather than discretionary trading or a general market meltdown. The abnormal MACD and RSI indicators highlight forced selling in the absence of larger financial crises, such as credit crises or ETF outflows. This crash is devoid of standard signs of stress, with ETFs continuing to grow inflows, altcoins holding up, and Ethereum doing the same. outperforms Bitcoin. These circumstances disprove a systemic sell-off, emphasising the solitary character of this event. Related Reading: Bitcoin News: Kiyosaki Sells BTC Bought for $6K Near $90,000 What’s Next? Signs Point to Sharp Rebound Post-Unwind Experts observing the immediacy and pace of the sell-off suggest that forced, price-insensitive liquidation is driving it, and such selling cannot continue for long. The gradual disinventory implies scant inventory or a requirement that, when depleted, might create a sudden market shock. The procedure resembles past liquidation cleanses, in which the market realises bankruptcies and vulnerability to failed counterparties only after the fact. This offloading seems to be an event rather than a reactionary one, a limited thing in an overall optimistic macro cycle. After it is done, the market is poised to make a more powerful recovery.

Moore reflects on SHS tenure
SALISBURY Principal Dr. Marvin Moore announced his intentions to leave Salisbury High School earlier this week to take the principal job at Phillip O. Berry Academy of Technology in 2026. Moore said he is excited about the next step of his personal journey, but called his departure bittersweet. “I gave all I could and was able to work with and build a really good foundation at Salisbury with some really good people and families,” Moore said. “I feel like I’m at a point where if I needed to leave this would be the time.” Moore became the principal at Salisbury High School over the summer of 2020. He came into the administrative position during a tumultuous time when the world was still reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic and school officials were trying to figure out what the upcoming year would look like. Thanks to support from the surrounding Hornet community, Moore said they exceeded expectations. “We noticed that we had some work to do in some areas,” he said. “Jumped right to it. Had a very strong community in Salisbury who loved the school that jumped in and supported us both on the academic side, athletic side and the community side.” As for those academic achievements, Moore said he is particularly proud of the standards they set. “We were able to do some really special things here,” Moore said. “When you talk about academics, each year, we moved our composite scores up and met growth. This past year, we exceeded growth. “We really honed in on making sure our graduation rates went up for 70 percent to 85 percent in the last four to five years.” Off the field, Hornets were excelling under Moore. On the field, they were doing the same. “We also did a really good job, I felt like, of setting the expectation that we would be a state championship athletic program,” Moore said. “We have won a state championship in football, two in women’s basketball, one in golf last year. We won in track, both indoor and outdoor. “Then, on top of that, we made some deep playoff runs in every sport, tennis, women’s and men’s, almost every year. The same thing in soccer. We really just tried to make sure we were really competitive in all aspects of the word.” Some of Moore’s proudest accomplishments came through building community bonds. “I felt like the partnerships we were able to build with the churches and the booster club meant so much,” Moore said. “Promise City Church moved into the school and is doing a good job with us.” He pointed to partnering with Next Gen Academy, led by former Salisbury Hornets Romar Morris and John Knox, as one more of those relationships that made everyone better for it. However, it has not always been easy for Moore and the Hornet family. “We have had a lot of tough moments from student deaths to staff deaths, but we have galvanized around that work and been able to love each other,” Moore said. “One of my phrases is ‘We love like a family, function like a team.’ We have been able to do that and keep that in perspective.” That was just the impact that Moore wanted to have. “No one can say when I walked away from here that I did not love on our students and staff,” he said. “I did what I could to make sure I was present and that what we did mattered.” Moore mentioned that it was always about being forward faces and tackling things head on even when it was not easy. “I am really big on you should not be a coward in these spaces,” he said. “If you want to be a leader, you have to be willing to take the hits.” However, he acknowledged that having the right pieces around him helped make the mission a successful one. “I feel like I put a team around me of assistant principals that really helped to lead and I am really proud of what we have done,” he said. Moore has been working in the Rowan-Salisbury School System long enough that he has seen students he knew from elementary school graduate high school. He served as the principal and Isenberg Elementary before taking over at Salisbury. “A lot of these kids, some that graduated last year, I was their principal for 10 years,” Moore said, adding that being a part of those journeys is something he’ll always hold onto. Moore will miss the halls, but it is the people inside the building and the adjacent community that will stay with him. “I am going to miss that,” Moore said. “I tell people often. Until you have lived and worked in Salisbury and worked with the family in Salisbury, you don’t understand the true value of what happens here. It is magic, man.” It might be hard to say goodbye, but Moore believes this move is a step that he needs to take. “I’m going to miss it but it is time,” Moore said. “My wife said something the other night. Honestly, I was struggling with it. I am happy about the opportunity but I was struggling with leaving. She said two things can be right at the same time.” He added that he feels like this is one of those examples.

Eddie Murphy reveals the 3 blockbuster hits he wishes he never turned down
Eddie Murphy says he has a few regrets when it comes to his film career. In a recent interview with The Associated Press, the 64-year-old “Coming to America” star shared which movies he turned down over the course of his career he wishes he would have said agreed to. “Yeah, there’s a couple of movies. ‘Ghostbusters,’ I was supposed to do ‘Ghostbusters.’ Didn’t do that. And ‘Rush Hour.’ Didn’t do that. Oh, and ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit.”Those are my big three ‘wish I would have done’ movies.” When asked why those specific films stood out to him, Murphy said, “They were huge giant hits.” The first “Ghostbusters” movie was released in 1984, made more than $243 million at the box office domestically and produced a 1989 sequel. “Rush Hour” had two sequels, while “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” brought in over $156 million domestically. “Well, with ‘Ghostbusters,’ I did ‘Beverly Hills Cop‘ instead. So, it was like, it was do this or that, so it worked out cool. And ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’ just sounded ridiculous to me, and I passed on it. And, afterwards, I was like, ‘Oh that’s f-ing amazing.’” While he regrets not participating in those movies, his career did not suffer. He played many memorable characters in movies like “The Nutty Professor” and “Dr. Dolittle.” He later received an Academy Award nomination for his work in the 2006 movie “Dreamgirls.” Murphy takes a look back at his legendary career as a comedian in the new Netflix documentary “Being Eddie,” starting from his early days as a teenage comic. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month, Murphy shared that “it wasn’t going to be this type of documentary” originally, but was supposed to cover his return to stand-up comedy. “Then COVID hit, and everything shut down,” he explained. “Afterwards, I was like, ‘I’m not sure if I want to do stand-up’ because I was paranoid about COVID. We worked on this thing for five, six years, and, now, coincidentally, it’s my 50th year in show business, a milestone for anybody in any business.” One of Murphy’s most popular roles was as Donkey in the “Shrek” franchise. The fifth movie in the franchise is scheduled for release in 2027, 17 years since the fourth movie was released. The new film will see the return of Cameron Diaz and Mike Myers as Fiona and Shrek and adds Zendaya as one of the couple’s triplets. “You have a headache after a ‘Shrek’ session. The donkey has a lot of singing. You’re on 10, and you’re doing it over and over again. The great thing, though, is it’s appreciated. Everybody loves the movie,” Murphy said. “Nothing’s worse than working really hard on something and doing makeup and sweat and all this s-, and then you put it out, and they’d be like, “Two thumbs down.” You go, “I was in the makeup chair for 50 hours.”.

24,000 registered nurses ratify new four-year contract with UC
The University of California and the California Nurses Association ratified a four-year agreement for nearly 24, 000 registered nurses that includes an 18. 5% minimum increase in wages over the life of the four-year contract across the university’s 19 medical centers and campuses, the union announced on Saturday, Nov. 22. CNA said in its statement that the contract also caps health care premium increases and adds “protections to improve patient safety and nurse retention.” A union spokesperson did not immediately respond to questions about how many members voted to support or reject ratification of the contract, or what the new minimum hourly wage is under the contract for first year nurses. “UC nurses were unified in our demands for a contract that reversed and halted UC management’s growing practice of short-staffing facilities, cutting back on resources, and forcing [registered nurses] to do more with less support,” said Marlene Tucay, an RN at UC Irvine and member of the CNC bargaining team, in a statement. “As a result of the commitment of all CNA members, we won a contract that will improve outcomes for nurses and our patients.” A UC spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment. The new contract, which also places restrictions on UC floating RNs between facilities and adds improvements to meal and rest breaks and workplace violence-prevention policies, covers the period Nov. 1, 2025, to Jan. 31, 2029. Under the contract, RNs were guaranteed a central role in selecting, designing and validating new technology, including artificial intelligence systems, the CNA stated. Registered nurses provide and coordinate patient care and educate patients and the public about various health conditions, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. CNA becomes the second major union to ratify a new labor contract with UC in recent days. On Nov. 20, the University Professional and Technical Employees-Communications Workers of America Local 9119, which represents 19, 664 healthcare, research and technical professionals, ratified its contract with UC. The UPTE-CWA union’s agreement provides a roughly 28% pay bump over the next four years, pension contributions, caps on health care premium increases, and improvements to career advancement steps and work-life balance. Bargaining between the university and CNA and UPTE-CWA began in June 2024 ahead of the contract expiration with each of the unions on Oct. 31, 2024. Earlier this month, after CNA and UPTE-CWA reached a tentative deal with UC, the unions cancelled plans to join picket lines with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3299, which represents 37, 481 service and patient care technical workers at UC, ahead of a Nov. 17-18 strike. The plans to cancel participation in the strike would have brought more than 80, 000 union members including CNA, UPTE-CWA and AFSCME to the picket lines last Monday and Tuesday in what they described as a historic display of solidarity against UC. As of Saturday, AFSCME Local 3299 was still in talks with UC negotiators. That union’s contract also expired last year, with its members going out on strike Nov. 17-18. “UC’s disappointing tone deafness to the affordability crisis plaguing its lowest paid frontline workers persists,” said Todd Stenhouse, a spokesman for AFSCME Local 3299. Michael Avant, president of AFSCME Local 3299, has made a point of criticizing the UC system for spending billions of dollars acquiring new facilities, “lavishing exorbitant raises on its wealthiest executives and funding housing assistance programs to help these same ivory tower elites buy mansions or second homes” though not offering its frontline workers enough to “pay the rent or keep pace with the skyrocketing cost of groceries.”.

The original Dawn of War games have 109 new Steam achievements after 20 years—if you have the definitive edition, at least
I’m no RTS expert, but I’m nonetheless ride or die for Warhammer 40, 000: Dawn of War. I’ve poured what must be hundreds of hours into campaign and skirmish modes across the game’s four versions, gleefully gunning down gue’la for the greater good and deep striking dreadnoughts where they are least welcome. Granted, there’s no record of my wartime victories, as the Steam versions of these games (and the CD-ROM versions of my youth) never had acheivements-until now. That only holds for the recently released definitive edition, which as Sean Martin said in his impressions is a “sparing” but superlative version of the classic RTS series, but the GOG version has the achievements as well. You can find the full list on a Steam News Hub blog post from Thursday, and they’re about what you’d expect. There are achievements for winning a skirmish and multiplayer match as every faction, seeing each ending across the various story campaigns, and more flavorful ones like killing 666 space marines while playing as chaos marines. There’s also an accolade for deploying each of the games’ relic units-big monsters like the Greater Knarloc and the Bloodthirster-which was always a hype moment in-game, even if matches didn’t always go on long enough to facilitate it. None of them should prove particularly elusive, provided you can find enough opponents online to get all the multiplayer achievements. There’s also “The Grim Darkness of the Far Future,” where you’re meant to kill 40, 000 enemy units. hopefully you’ll be fighting lots of imperial guardsmen. The new achievements won’t account for prior progress, as the blog post notes: “With a 20-year-old game as our starting point, we did not have much in the way of existing stat tracking to use, so we had to add that in this latest patch to support achievements.” That being said, you only have to finish a campaign to get credit; if you have one beaten, you should be able to replay just the final mission and cross it off your list. I’m not much of a completionist, but I will take any excuse to revisit some of the greatest strategy games ever made. If you see me in multiplayer, feel free to let me win! I’m just here for the achievement, after all.
