More info All of the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! campmates will take part in the next Bushtucker Trial. The contestants of the jungle show traditionally face a public vote to decide which of them will face a grisly task to earn meals for camp, but on Saturday night, 23 November, both the ordinary camp and the Jungle Junkyard will take part. Host Ant McPartlin ramped up the excitement at the end of Friday's episode, teasing: "How exciting, I bet they can't wait to come face to face with Richard, Maura, and Dean. Let's see how they react when the secret of The Junkyard comes out!" It was confirmed on the series' new spin-off show, I'm A Celebrity..Unpacked, that the trial will be an eating challenge. I’m A Celeb fans will welcome the return of the eating challenge as many have taken to social media wondering why a proper eating trial hasn’t happened yet. “We’ve now had 4 trials and none of them have been an eating trial, just seems kinda strange as there is usually one in the first 4 or so,” said one viewer. "Has it only been like 4 days, and it started with a gross milkshake," wrote another, referring to the drinks that some of the celebrities had to gulp down before joining the race to the camp during the first episode. Love Island alum Maura Higgins and Rev Richard Coles have been secretly living in luxury in their camp, the Jungle Junkyard, since their late arrival. However, the rest of the camp think they are roughing it and have given them some of their food, and even one of their beds. Radio DJ Dean McCullough got clued in on the real conditions of the Jungle Junkyard after being invited to join the luxury hideaway during Friday's show after his trial with Danny Jones. However, the others are starting to sniff out the truth. Coleen Rooney, after delivering some grub to her fellow stars in the second camp, couldn't help but get suspicious. After returning to main camp, she said: "Dean had the same face on as Maura had on yesterday. I thought he just thought he looked more content than I thought he would be with the junkyard environment. They were hiding something from us." TikTok sensation and Loose Women regular, GK Barry, is also on a mission to "get to the bottom" of the mysterious happenings. After Coleen aired her suspicions, GK said: "She noticed some weird changes in The Junkyard, we are gonna get to the bottom of this because I don't like being lied to. I am not a mug!"Finance Column: Giving Tuesday
Wheel of Fortune’s most prized tradition is the bonus round, where each episode’s winner is faced with one last puzzle and a mere 10 seconds to come away with an even bigger bundle of cash (or not). But fans want a word with host Ryan Seacrest about how he’s presenting the prizes after giving a puzzling amount of build-up to a player’s $40,000 win. On Friday, November 22’s episode, Brittany Brock, a kindergarten teacher from Chicago, Illinois, was the player to proceed to the coveted bonus round. By then she had won $17,300 in cash, a trip to Kauai, and selected “Living Thing” as her category. With the savvy additional letters of “DPBI” the two-word puzzle read as, “‘_ _ DDL_’ ‘P_PP_'”. Near-instantly, she correctly solved it as “Cuddly Puppy.” The broadcast cut to Seacrest and an excited Brock, and it was time to reveal how much she won from the prize wedge she picked. Seacrest opened the gold prize card and glanced at the figure. “And...” he told her with a surprised grin (below). After a few seconds he added, “Ready?” Broke clasped her hands over her mouth in anticipation as Seacrest then revealed she won an extra $40,000, the least one can win in the bonus round. “$40,000!” he exclaimed. This brought her to a grand total of $57,381 and she was overjoyed nonetheless, embraced her husband. On Social media, many fans celebrated the big win while left wondering why Seacrest presented the prize with such a prolonged rollout that it seemed like a bigger value and as if the confetti was about to overflow onto the Sony Pictures Studios parking lot. “Ryan acting like it’s $75,000 or $100,000 with the slow way he shows the amount,” one fan wrote when the game show shared the clip to YouTube. Over on the WoF Reddit, a fan dedicated a discussion thread to the moment titling it, “Bonus Reveal... lolz.” They continued, “I like Seacrest, but gotta admit, I’m not a fan of the dramatic 40K reveals lol.” “Agreed...” a second user wrote, arguing that a contestant in the future could be “disappointed” it’s not more. “The Mrs. and I commented on that last night. He presents it like it’s something more than the minimum prize amount! One of these days, the contestant is going to react disappointedly.” A third wrote, “He also contorts his body awkwardly and bounces around to just flip the card open. Then says ‘it was this much’ as if he can’t say the amount. Kind of weird. But the lack of higher amounts lately is noticed. I’m glad it’s been all cash so far. A lot of the cars prior were 30k, which is nice, but they were lowest prize.” “I agree, feels like he’s forcing it,” wrote a fourth. A fifth was even more critical, “I’m sorry I know a lot of people are going to get mad at me but I just don’t like him. There’s something about him, that I just don’t enjoy watching him in anything at all.” Meanwhile , Seacrest, of course, had huge shoes to fill replacing the legendary Pat Sajak alongside the iconic Vanna White after four decades for Season 42. His debut month was the strongest ratings month for WoF in the past three years, and viewers were already treated to a viral moment (via a round of sausage) . That said, there have been some other questionable moments according to fans. In September, Seacrest suffered what fans dubbed his “first blooper” , involving a prolonged reaction to rewarding a bonus round. Fans also called out the host for ruling against another player before the timer was up. There have also been a few on-screen “glitches,” and a minor spelling error in a Thanksgiving puzzle . Many fans also blamed a lack of experience on Seacrest’s mishandling of a contestant’s $1million wedge, which she instantly forfeited.

A generation ago parents used to warn their children that their eyes would go square if they spent too much time watching TV. Now those children have become parents themselves, they accuse their offspring of becoming “screen zombies” for spending too much time staring at their devices. However, new research suggests that they need not worry so much about their children playing computer games — provided they are playing sports-based games — because they can be a gateway to participation in real life. The report found that 89 per cent of sports gamers play at least one of the corresponding sports in real life and in almost 25 per cent of cases, it’s gaming that has led them to participate off-screen. The study, which surveyedA Comprehensive Guide to Gold Investment Companies
Pearl Diver Credit Company Inc. Prices Offering of Series A Preferred StockVIVOTEK Wins Double Honors for Its Commitment to SustainabilityAs we head into a precarious 2025, my 21st year doing real-world automotive reviews, I have to take a quick moment to thank TikTok for both ruining and, at the same time, vastly enhancing my car-business career. Really. I say this because I met a budding TikTok/YouTube star this summer, close to my not-young age, who racked up literally 45 trips to national media events during 2024. Every week had a different airport shot at 5 a.m., some signature car poses and stylish captions, a wardrobe change, and then another car/airport combo. Plus, what looked like six pieces of content a day being produced. Anyone who’s a slightly high-mileage legacy of business in the 1990s, such as I am, has probably noticed the same trends and requirements in their industries, especially since COVID-19. In automobile coverage, it’s the standard — these medium-length reviews I do are not what carmakers exactly have in mind anymore, but I certainly get a lot more rest than someone like my friend. I am totally OK with that. And ... it sounds like a TikTok-based career has its own challenges in 2025, as well. That’s all a roundabout way of thanking those of you who continue to read these stories and to the Summit Daily News for the opportunity to continue to take a slightly old-fashioned approach to the ever-changing world of automobiles. It also may explain why a number of high-profile vehicles you absolutely should have seen written about, such as the Volkswagen id.Buzz minivan EV, the new VW-associated Scout products, the hybrid electric Corvette, or simple products like Rivian trucks ... or anything made by Cadillac, Lincoln or Porsche, have all failed to appear here so far. I do what I can, relying 100% on the grace of a couple of Denver-based media fleet managers, and that’s helped produce this year’s near-weekly crop of reviews. As mentioned, flying 45 times a year and competing with social media operatives is not my bag. This year did bring a few unexpected joys, such as time in the Lucid Air EV , a number of outings in the new Toyota Land Cruiser / Lexus GX 550 and even the curious local event with the Kia Sorento X-Pro . I’ve got rides in vehicles ranging from the 2025 Infiniti QX80 and Nissan Armada to the Genesis GV80 on the coming horizon, so please keep reading. As for the greater car business in 2025, wow — your guess is as good as mine. The major about-face on electric vehicles really began in earnest this summer as companies from Volvo to Porsche announced they were maybe less than committed to their former plans of full electrification. Ford lost so much money on its Lightning and Mach-e products that an EV SUV failed to materialize. And Dodge/Chrysler/Ram lost an international CEO who apparently helped deep-six the American favorite Hemi engine. Curiously the new electric Ram trucks are now going to appear as hybrids first. I’ll bet you $2 we see Hemis again, quickly. Everything is going to get a little weird. I’ll make my final pitch for maximizing the federal credits for buying an electric vehicle, congratulate anyone who acted fast enough to get Xcel Energy support for their home charging and wish everyone the best as the tumultuous times unfurl ahead of us. Good luck. Andy Stonehouse’s column “Mountain Wheels” publishes Saturdays in the Summit Daily News.

Gravity Agrees to Sell Water Midstream Business to Delek LogisticsThe basketball world gathered for an exciting lineup of NBA Christmas Day games. To start things off, the New York Knicks hosted the San Antonio Spurs . The highly anticipated Christmas debut of Victor Wembanyama was the main storyline leading up to this matchup. However, Mikal Bridges stole the show with an impressive 41-point performance, leading the Knicks to a 117-114 victory at Madison Square Garden. Studs from the Knicks’ win over the Spurs Mikal Bridges takes over in Madison Square Garden The month of December has been exceptional for Bridges, and as a result, the Knicks have also been remarkable. New York has an impressive 9-2 record over their last 11 games, with Bridges averaging 22.7 points while shooting 57% from the field and an impressive 47% from three-point range. Notably, 15 of Bridges’ 41 points came in the fourth quarter, marking his third game this season with five or more made three-pointers. As a consummate professional, Mikal has made the Knicks’ growth process much smoother. He is fully embracing the team’s culture and is motivated by his teammates, which has allowed him to become one of four players on the roster capable of scoring over 40 points in a game. The increased versatility of the Knicks makes them a playoff lock and a matchup nightmare now that Bridges has found his groove. Hart the glue of the New York Knicks You can’t discuss Bridges’ success without acknowledging the incredible contributions of his teammate, Josh Hart . After a close win against the Charlotte Hornets in late November, Hart took the opportunity to defend Bridges in the media. He stated , “At the end of the day, we’re trying to win a championship, and he’s going to be a key piece of that.” Despite the local media launching a campaign criticizing Bridges’ commitment, work ethic, and more, Hart knows how to use his platform effectively. Beyond his supportive comments, Hart has been the glue that holds this Knicks team together, consistently giving his all. On Christmas Day, he showcased his versatility by recording a double-double with 12 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists. Hart’s jack-of-all-trades ability is invaluable, and he would be a highly sought-after player on any roster in the league. It’s truly an honor to have him on the Knicks. Achiuwa solves issues with depth Concerns about the Knicks’ lack of depth have persisted since the beginning of the season. However, the recent return of players like Landry Shamet and Precious Achiuwa has brought some relief. If Achiuwa maintains the level of play he demonstrated on Christmas Day, there shouldn’t be any significant issues moving forward. In a match against future league cornerstone Victor Wembanyama, Achiuwa made notable contributions with five points and ten rebounds. While those numbers may not stand out on paper, it’s the impact he had on the game that earns him recognition among the top performers. Four of Achiuwa’s ten rebounds were offensive boards, contributing to the Knicks’ total of 17 offensive rebounds compared to the Spurs’ eight for the entire game. This tenacity and determination were crucial for New York’s success, especially in a close three-point victory, underscoring the importance of those offensive rebounds. Takeaways from the Knicks’ win over the Spurs The development of the New York Knicks’ chemistry this season has been exciting to witness. After a slow start, the Knicks currently sit in the third seed in the Eastern Conference, while boasting top rankings in both field goal and three-point shooting percentages. Although the beginning of the season was challenging, the team is now ten games above .500, with three more games left to conclude the year. Overall, the Knicks have had an impressive 2024. Their next challenge is against a tough Orlando Magic team on the road, but with the Magic missing key players, the Knicks are expected to handle business and secure their sixth consecutive win.

The financial incentives provided months ago to Greeks who wish to relocate to northern Evros is a pilot program for all rural regions Greece, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in an interview to the newspaper 'Ta Choriatika' in Proti, near Serres, on Saturday. "Our job is to take care of problems of all Greek citizens and take particular care of the most isolated regions of our homeland," Mitsotakis told journalist Fotini Gallou. The prime minister also reiterated the further strengthening of the primary sector and of small-scale tourism as issues in rural Greece. Speaking of renewable energy sources, he said that their use will reduce energy prices, but "the first ones to benefit should be the municipalities that welcome them." Mitsotakis and Gallou spoke of how younger people could be encouraged to relocate to villages, and of what the benefits would be. One of the benefits, he said, was that smaller schools allowed more time between a teacher and a student, thsu improving the standard of education, adding also the help of digital education. "A child that may live in a remote village could have the same technological foundation as a child living in Athens or Thessaloniki. Technology is a bridge that breaks up isolation, and that is why I believe that gradually but steadily there will be more people who will be able to work from a distance and to think of the alternative of the village," the PM said. Responding to the question of young people founding innovative businesses in villages, and how they would be taxed, Mitsotakis said that the government had changed the lower tax rates to include people who live in villages with up to 1,500 residents (from 500). "It is for this reason, let's say, we are prioritizing the plans to support young farmers. I have instructed the Ministry of Agricultural Development to see to it that we can include as many young farmers as possible, because the farmers in regional Greece support the villages. We must have a realistic sense of what the economic activities are that are linked to the villages, and surely the primary sector plays a very important role," he noted.

( ), ( ) and Mitsubishi on Monday confirmed they are in talks regarding a possible merger at a time of auto industry upheaval. Honda stock tried to regain a key level on Tuesday after jumping on the merger news. The possible three-way merger would see Japan's second and third biggest carmakers join forces, along with smaller Mitsubishi. That combination would create the world's third largest automaker by annual sales, behind only Japanese peer Toyota Motor ( ) and German giant Volkswagen ( ). Embattled car giants Honda and Nissan hope to stave off falling sales and intensifying competition. Their joint statement on Monday alluded to "dramatic changes in the environment surrounding both companies and the automotive industry," a likely reference to these powerful forces gaining strength: : Legacy auto giants are in the middle of a massive shift from gas and diesel cars to electric and hybrid vehicles in a bid to lower polluting emissions. Newer vehicles are also increasingly software defined. All this adds up to steep development costs. By merging, Honda and Nissan could jointly develop such vehicles and use common platforms to share and optimize costs. Cost saving is especially important for the co right now. Both Honda and Nissan's sales are in a sharp two-year slump. Honda posted a steep quarterly profit drop in November, mainly due to a challenging Chinese market. : Chinese EV makers continue to rise in the domestic and overseas markets. China dominates global EV supply chains and subsidizes its EV industry, with its automakers churning out affordable electric cars. Affordable doesn't necessarily mean cheap. Chinese EV giant ( ) and its startup peers, including ( ) and ( ), make technology-driven electric cars. Korean EV makers like Hyundai and Kia are also on the rise. By comparison, Japan's auto giants are trying to catch up in fully battery electric vehicles, though they are leaders in hybrid cars. A merger could improve efficiencies in their EV investments. : Analysts at Morgan Stanley identified a third force forcing Honda and Nissan to consider a merger: the rise of semi autonomous or fully autonomous vehicles. Tesla and some of its Chinese rivals are the clear leaders in vehicle autonomy, with . Maturing autonomous technologies have placed Nissan and Honda under new pressure to fund AI and software development, the Morgan Stanley analysts said. They noted Tesla's doubling to $1.5 trillion market capitalization in the span of six weeks, adding: "If the age of autonomy has truly arrived, then things will move very fast from here." Honda Stock, Nissan Stock And EV Stocks Shares of Honda Motor popped nearly 1% in Tuesday's . Honda stock tested the falling 50-day moving average after jumping nearly 13% on Monday after the possible merger confirmation. The stock has dropped 28% from a March high, and carries a very weak IBD Composite Rating of 38. Nissan stock popped more than 7% on Friday, extending its rally above the 50-day line and giving it a 27% gain for December. Tesla stock climbed 5%, extending Monday's rally on solid EV delivery news.
