as his overnight lead would prove unassailable and a level-par final round would suffice to see the talented 19-year-old earn his maiden tour victory on his rookie year Dermot McElroy topped off a fine week with a one-under final round to secure solo second McElroy was a model of consistency all week with only six dropped shots over the 72 holes Two of those came on the final day at the seventh and again on his final hole of the tournament Two of his three birdies came on the back nine with one after the turn on the 10th followed up by another on the par-four 16th His one-under confirmed second position on -10 one stroke clear of the Swedish duo of Jens Fahrbring and Christofer Rahm He comes away with 220 Road to Morocco points for his troubles and climbs to 26th in the rankings and will now have designs on pushing his way into the top-20 and earning promotion to the DP World Tour for 2025 He started off well with three birdies and just one dropped shot on his outward nine before coming unstuck on his homeward leg Three dropped shots on his way back saw him drop back towards the pack Fortunately for the Spaniard there was no bolter on the final day and his lead proved too much for the bunch to overcome The win takes him to ninth in the Road to Morocco standings and one step closer to promotion to the DP World Tour at the first time of asking so to have a win is very special,” he said “To give myself a chance to get onto the DP World Tour makes me very happy It’s my dream to play on the DP World Tour I’m very proud of all the work we’ve put in to do this.” “I’m going straight to Switzerland to play on the DP World Tour which will be a special week,” he added “I’ll take a week off before coming back to play the Italian Challenge Open on the Challenge Tour to try and end the season well and get promoted.” Gregorio De Leo couldn’t repeat his exploits of Saturday’s 61 as he carded a three-over to drop back into a group of six players sharing fifth spot on

Rankings and finishing second on the Nordic Golf League Rankings in 2016 to earn his place on the European Challenge Tour Recorded six top tens in his rookie season but only five in the next six years before enjoying a breakout in 2024 he finished second at the Danish Golf Challenge and arrives in Australia off the back of eight consecutive top tens and four consecutive top fives including two runner-up finishes He is still looking for a first win in a European Tour group event but it does not look to be far away Ayora turned professional after the 2023 Eisenhower Trophy and quickly made an impact finishing in a tie for 21st on his professional DP World Tour debut at the ISPS HANDA Australian Open and a tie for 12th on his professional Challenge Tour debut at the SDC Open A PGA TOUR debut would come as he made the cut at the Puerto Rico Open but it was on the Challenge Tour where he continued to shine He registered three top tens before lifting the trophy at the Rosa Challenge Tour and finished the season with runner-up finishes at the Hangzhou Open and Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final supported by the R&A to bring momentum into his maiden DP World Tour campaign Moscatel played three seasons on the Alps Tour with a best finish of second before earning full Challenge Tour playing privileges by making the cut at the 2023 Qualifying School He made a slow start to the campaign before registering a top ten in the UAE and following that with a first professional win at the Challenge de España Another top ten followed in Denmark and just over a month later he was a winner once more and although he could not claim the third annual triumph that would have earned him early promotion Pineau burst onto the scene in 2022 when he won the Challenge Tour's Open de

Nordic Golf League after turning professional claiming two wins in the space of a month in 2023 as he narrowly missed out on a Challenge Tour card Another two wins in 2024 saw him get his place on the Challenge Tour but he did not need it as he bookended Final Stage with rounds of 65 to take the fifth card Johnston spent five years at Arizona State University helping the Sun Devils to the Pac-12 title this year Turned professional shortly after and competed on the PGA Tour Americas where he recorded a top-five finish at the Centreport Canada Rail Park Manitoba Open He then came through all three stages of Q School with a final three rounds of 65-65-67 helping him take the eighth card Canada - where he won the Forme Open at TPC River's Bend - and on the Korn Ferry Tour before making a second trip to the Qualifying School off the back of five missed cuts this summer He lost a play-off at Second Stage but got into Final Stage as second alternate admitting that had he been third alternate he probably would have headed back to the US from Spain His patience paid off as he shot five rounds out of six in the 60s at INFINITUM to take the 14th card Another player to come through all three stages of Q School List - who plays under the Australian flag of his father - was raised in his mother's homeland of Ghana playing on courses where he admits \"the greens would probably be

Open on the Challenge Tour in his paid debut 12 months after finishing third at the Hainan Open in his first Challenge Tour appearance as an amateur The penultimate DP World Tour event of the calendar year was won by South African Shaun Norris after the 42-year-old shot 67 to triumph by one South Africa's Shaun Norris carded a final-round 67 to come from six strokes back and win the 2024 Alfred Dunhill Championship by one Marcus Kinhult of Sweden began Sunday on 14-under two strokes in front of his closest challenger and half-a-dozen in front of Norris but was one of several players who really struggled to generate any positive momentum as the hunt for the title began at Leopard Creek Norris was one of only three players inside the top-10 who managed to break 70 in the final round with England's John Parry scoring 69 while South Africa's Keenan Davidse posted 68 Five birdies and an eagle more than wiped out a lone bogey for Norris who recorded his second win in three weeks after triumphing at the JT Cup on the Japan Golf Tour an emotional Norris said: "I'm very happy that it worked out this way Words can't describe (winning a second DP World Tour title) It's been up and down and all over the place Winning two weeks ago in Japan and then winning this week - what a blessing." The 42-year-old reached the clubhouse on 13-under while there were still at least a dozen players still out on the course but the difficult closing third at Leopard Creek ensured no one would ever surpass Norris Ryan Van Velzen had a chance to reach 14-under on the 18th but he followed Spain's Angel Ayora by finding the water with his approach before failing to get up and down for par I thought 14 or 15-under was a good number to get to and if I could post a number early then they needed to chase it down The last four or fives holes on this golf course are very strong Van Velzen ultimately ended in a tie for second alongside Parry and Kinhult on -12 Ayora and Darius Van Driel finished in a tie for fifth on -11 Jonny LeighfieldNews WriterHello and welcome to Golf Monthly's coverage of the Alfred Dunhill Championship closing stages The leaders have entered the back nine at Leopard Creek GC and any one of almost a dozen players could still go on to win this Join me for key updates from the final few holes to keep across all the action as it happens South Africa's Shaun Norris has catapulted himself into a four-way share for the lead after making birdie at 15 Van Velzen navigated a potentially tricky two putt from just off the back of the 11th green showing superb touch to roll his golf ball down the hill and leave it at kick-in range Marcus Kinhult is still just a stroke back after arresting his earlier slide The leading Spaniard has dropped a shot after a really disappointing three-putt at the 12th but his effort down the hill had way too much on it and led to Ayora slipping back to one behind there are likely to be just as many mistakes as gains so Ayora is unlikely to be alone in that regard.. I'm not sure what's going on on the greens this afternoon but an increasing number of players are struggling with pace control France's Martin Couvra was in contention for the prize but he has just taken four taps with his putter and is now likely out of it leaving him with a double-bogey 7 and knocking him back to -10 for the week The second four putt we've seen today.Being in contention is hard. #DunhillChamps pic.twitter.com/7M3ym5Lp2ADecember 15, 2024 Kinhult and Van Velzen still have five more holes to play but they're struggling to find any momentum Norris and Parry seem to be enjoying life a little more but are coming towards the end of their respective final rounds Van Velzen has three-putted on the par-5 13th to slip back to -12 and they're going to need it if the final pair want to reignite their title hopes John Parry is the latest player in the field to three-putt causing him to drop a shot at the par-3 16th Shaun Norris missed the fairway on 18 off the tee and tried to lay up with his second shot but made a poor mistake of finding the bunker just short of the lake in front of the green The South African pumps his long-range bunker shot onto the green - leaving himself two putts from 25 feet to reach the clubhouse at 13-under Six shots back before a shot was struck in round four Shaun Norris cards a 67 and reaches the clubhouse on 13-under that is likely to be enough with the way it's going Norris is in line for his second DP World Tour win at 42 years old He would also be the 13th South African ever to win this event 42 year old Shaun Norris shoots a final round 67 and takes the clubhouse lead at -13 🙌#DunhillChamps pic.twitter.com/VJD358xcWTDecember 15, 2024 Van Velzen makes a birdie at the 14th after a stunning approach to say 'hang on a second this isn't over.' He has two more par-5s to come as well Ayora has to accept a par at 15 after blasting his drive down the right side of the fairway and consequently finding the back-left bunker He had navigated some over-hanging trees and a horribly scary bunker shot on his way "My flight to Mauritius on Monday...

from our team of experts with decades of Apple device experience to lean on One of the largest pirate radio fines in the history of the Federal Communications Commission is now final The FCC heard nothing in response from César and Luis Angel Ayora about their alleged operations of the station known as “Radio Impacto 2” in Queens That radio silence has cleared the Commission to finalize the $2,316,034 fine that was first announced in March “Such illegal operations can interfere with licensed communications, including authorized broadcasts and communications by public safety entities,” the Commission says in the three-page order The fine levied against César and Luis Angel Ayora could have been significantly higher with a list of 77 apparent violations including multiple violations documented through the years the FCC issued a base fine of $20,000 per day for each of the 184 days that the Ayoras allegedly violated the rules – or a $3.68 million fine The FCC also concluded a “significant upward adjustment” was warranted based on the facts of the case The Commission concluded that a penalty of $21,307,568 was appropriate explaining that the Ayoras’ conduct was “intentional” and “illegal” but they chose to continue to operate Radio Impacto 2 The Ayoras will not be required to pay that $21.3 million fine That is because federal law only allows the FCC to issue a fine of $115,802 for each day during which the offense occurs and not more than $2,316,034.57 – the maximum that they are being hit with The FCC investigation says the Ayoras jointly operated Radio Impacto 2 “for years” as they targeted Ecuadorian residents of the Corona neighborhood of New York. The pirate station’s own website says it launched in September 2008, promising 24 hours of programming. The couple even did interviews about the station which started at 91.9 FM and then moved up to 105.5 FM in 2016 Enforcement Bureau field agents have been trying to shut down the station since 2013 it issued a trio of notices to the Ayoras warning them to power down Luis Ayora did apparently admit to operating the station when field agents paid a visit to their building and met with the landlord the FCC says the Ayoras kept Radio Impacto 2 on the air even as more complaints arrived “Some of the most egregious pirate radio operations are run by individuals who have ignored prior enforcement actions by the Commission,” the order released Friday says it merits the strongest possible enforcement measures to the fullest extent of the law.” The latest fine is also not the first against the Ayoras The Commission says it issued a $20,000 fine against the pair in 2015 And when a raid seized their equipment in 2016 The FCC says between March 2017 and January 2020 field agents traced the pirate station to the couple 11 times but COVID restrictions prevented further onsite inspections by field agents until 2022 The forfeiture order details how the Ayoras can pay the $2.3 million fine warning failure to do so within 30 days will result in the case being handed over to the Department of Justice for collections but getting DOJ attorneys to pursue delinquent fine payers has proven difficult for the FCC During testimony last year before the House subcommittee charged with overseeing the agency FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel urged lawmakers to give the Commission more authority to go after fine collections on its own “You keep on telling us to rachet up the fines “And then we take those fines over to our colleagues at the Department of Justice and we hope and pray that we take them to court this Committee should instead give us the authority to take those bad actors to court I think it would have meaningful impact were we able to do more of that.” The idea was met with some support from members of the House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology no steps have been taken to change the law That means that collecting the record-setting pirate fine against the Aroyas may come down to just how busy DOJ lawyers are with other things Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security risks.We recommend switching to one of the following browsers: 12-year contract: The supply will come from the Ayora I-II-III photovoltaic complex in Jarafuel (Valencia) ACCIONA Energía has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with DaVita leading medical services provider specialized in dialysis and kidney care services to supply it with 100% renewable electricity in Spain for 12 years The electricity will come from the Ayora I-II-III photovoltaic complex (85,74 MWp) currently under development in the municipality of Jarafuel in Valencia (Spain) DaVita will achieve a more sustainable energy model and advance its decarbonization goals The company has 2,675 outpatient dialysis centers in the United States and 367 centers located in 11 other countries worldwide and it has committed to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050 we have a deep sense of responsibility to help make our world "Expanding our renewable commitment across our global operations accelerates momentum and accountability to help mitigate the lasting impacts of climate change.” ACCIONA Energía consolidates its position as a strategic partner for DaVita's decarbonization and continues to increase the volume of new supply contracts and medium- and long-term PPAs to corporate customers thereby maintaining a balanced portfolio in non-regulated generation assets "We are very pleased to have DaVita in this project” we accompany our customers through their decarbonization journey enhancing sustainability in their operations and helping them reach their renewable energy goals.” LevelTEN Energy served as an advisor for the transaction I accept Information on data protection In compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on Data Protection and with other Data Protection regulations in force you are hereby informed that your personal data shall be processed by Acciona whose identification data are as follows: Tax ID No (NIF): A08001851;

just being matriculated makes us a family and there is an honest interest from every Tuckie to contribute to the development of others and ourselves What was the key factor that led you to choose this program for your full-time MBA and why was it so important to you I wanted a college town school with a full focus on its two-year MBA program I was looking for an experience that was going to be 100% immersive Tuck allows me to have the opportunity to be 24 hours surrounded by the most accomplished while granting me all the resources through its faculty curriculum and campus to develop my personal and professional goals Tuck to me is like an academic sabbatical –two years that I will be able to focus solely on doing the activities that will make me the future leader I want to become All the buckets that encompass the MBA experience (academics recruiting and social) are on steroids at Tuck You are really involved in all your classes You are really working hard on targeting companies you are truly invested in your fellow Tuckies and in the Tuck community What aspect of the school’s culture or values resonates most with you and why The aptitudes of wisdom that are talked about at Tuck are unmatched Tuckies practice confident humility about what they do and do not know and they use that for the advantage of all the people and projects in their lives I see this value in my new classmates and myself I know my strengths and I exploit and further develop them I know my weakness and I am honest about them; I am not afraid to be vulnerable and I love asking for feedback from my study group just as much as I love when my study group asks me for feedback We all have objectives we want to accomplish as individuals when we graduate we all share the drive to identify the changes that need to happen today in order to make the business world a better place tomorrow What club or activity are you looking most forward to in business school What was the most challenging question you were asked during the admissions process I find it very challenging to answer the “Where do you see yourself in the future” question simply because our world now is so dynamic There is so much new information being generated daily with so many interesting people and professions I feel that if I set myself on too specific of a track I will be missing out on so many learning opportunities What led you to pursue an MBA at this point in your career My time at Uber made me realize that in order to further my career I needed to excel in two main areas: strategic thinking and analytical skills Uber was a great place to work for learning about analytics on the job strategic thinking is a skill harder to develop the head of Latin America at Uber (and a Tuck alum!) which skill he needed the most for his role He said strategic thinking—it’s a quality that may sound so simple it encompasses so many other skills that it is really hard to find it in even the most qualified of candidates Pursuing an MBA was a no brainer after that exchange Only with a holistic management program and an immersive community like the one at Tuck can one truly get the resources one needs to be a strategic thinker – to think outside the box and learn to bring out the best in people in order to execute projects successfully and accomplish impactful changes I applied to three schools because I was focused on an education that would give a holistic view of management I wanted a program that would grant me with the analytical skills needed to be able to judge when and how to take risks for the better How did you determine your fit at various schools In order to determine my fit for schools I did three things: What was your defining moment and how did it shape who you are I truly appreciate honest feedback and honest praise I assign extra value to the things my peers do and subtract value from the things I do Defining moments in life to me are all those praises that I do have from people who feel that I have contributed positively to them I see myself as a hard-working professional who is recognized within my firm and my team as a true leader and promotes and accomplishes positive disruption I will recruit for strategy roles post-MBA and want to reach the partner/CEO level at a firm Our Partner Sites: Poets&Quants for Execs | Poets&Quants for Undergrads | Tipping the Scales | We See Genius Website Design By: Yellowfarmstudios.com Ayora said she should have never tried to fix what wasn't broken as a "botched job" left her needing two additional injections to try and fix it and later gave her a rare lip ulcer.  "I regret everything," Ayora said in an interview with Insider Ayora said she now encourages people interested in fillers to weigh the risks I'm always thinking about my lips," Ayora said at one point I couldn't care less about what anybody was looking at on my face Having stashed away enough money just as she turned 30 Ayora decided she would get fillers in 2021.  She found a nearby injection clinic operated by two former emergency room doctors after about 20 minutes of online research and didn't review any before-and-after photos to see if the results match what she expected she should know what she's doing,'" Ayora said While at the clinic, Ayora asked the doctor who would be performing the procedure about lip filler and was told about a $600 sale on the procedure. That's lower than the $648 national average cost, according to RealSelf though prices for filler are higher in larger cities and depending on the injector's level of expertise.  Without having a conversation about side effects, Ayora's doctor injected "half a syringe," which would be around 0.5 milliliter of filler between her top and bottom lips Ayora left the clinic 30 minutes later with little idea of what to expect during her healing process The recovery period ended up being a doozy red bumps" on the injection sites on her lips "They looked like bug bites," she added.  The bumps remained on her lips for around a month, and Ayora felt self-conscious when people got close to talk to her. According to NewBeauty Magazine red bumps can occur after getting fillers and should resolve after a few days to weeks who has more than 170,000 followers on TikTok also realized her lips were lopsided; the right side of her mouth was noticeably more plump than the left.  Ayora went back to the clinic two weeks after the initial procedure for her follow-up appointment The doctor attempted to even out her lips by injecting more filler on her left side.  nodular lesions rarely form in areas that receive filler but no published studies exist on this side effect.  Ayora sent photos of her lesion to the clinic She said doctors responded over the phone by ensuring her that ulcers are a "normal" side effect despite the lack of research on this side effect.  Ayora went back to the clinic a third time and asked if the doctor could dissolve her filler entirely "I wanted all of my lip filler to be dissolved." the ulcer inside Ayora's lip remained a nuisance She visited a dermatologist who treated the ulcer with hyaluronidase to shrink the lesion Though she wanted to dissolve all her lip filler the dermatologist said the process could make her lips uneven again and suggested she wait for the filler to dissolve on its own.  Ayora said she will not get lip filler again and urges her followers to carefully consider the risks of the procedure.  "It's so important to find a doctor who really puts pride into their work and cares," Ayora said "so [you] feel safe and understand what could happen before making that decision." First TeamThe Legacy Continues: Daniel Ayora Fulfilling Their Dream at Levante UDThere are no reactions yet Be the first!Daniel Ayora is living his dream and that of his grandfather in his new role as the goalkeeping coach at Levante UD The Ciutat de València witnessed a heartfelt conversation between the two where Daniel received valuable advice from his grandfather in an emotional cross-generational encounter that reflects the passion and devotion to Levante The story of Salvador Mut and Daniel Ayora mirrors that of many Levante fans The common thread is the Granota sentiment a sentiment that Mut began to experience firsthand in the late '60s when Levante UD paid nearly half a million pesetas to secure his services decided to change the course of his career to return to his native Valencia He did so to defend the Granota colors and played a significant role in the history of Levante UD: Mut guarded the goal at Mestalla during the transition from Vallejo to the current Ciutat de València participated in the inauguration of the stadium and was part of the squad that achieved promotion to the Second Division in the 1972/1973 season he showed unwavering loyalty to the blue and garnet colors and hung up his boots after concluding his period as Levante's goalkeeper aware of what Salvador Mut represented both on and off the field didn't let him go and appointed him as the second coach of Levante UD and later as a delegate This intense period at Orriols left a lasting impression on Salvador Mut who proudly boasts of his Levante past wherever he goes that Granota pride was what he tried to instill in his subsequent generations Daniel joined Levante UD in 2016 to be part of the youth academy staff and progressed through different categories until reaching the reserve team After being part of some of the successes of various youth teams and contributing to the development of goalkeepers trained in the academy the goalkeeping coach made the leap to the first team at the end of February last year An achievement that grandfather and grandson experience with excitement and enthusiasm "When I called my grandfather to tell him that I had the opportunity to be in the first team I didn't call my grandfather; I called my father – his father passed away when Daniel was little It's very emotional to be able to tell him that I'm finally in the first team I was really looking forward to this moment so that he could see me in a warm-up and where we've come so many times," Daniel explains with emotion "This is like a dream; it has been the joy of the family," confesses Mut the Ciutat de València was the setting for the encounter between the two in a unique moment of connection between Levante's past and present where Salvador Mut recounted his experiences and gave advice to his grandson for this new stage: "May you succeed and never forget family." Daniel listened attentively to his grandfather's words in a conversation that captured the essence of football and family You can watch this insightful conversation between grandfather and grandson below The architect of the evacuation protocol, Ernesto Vaca, was in the heart of the action, along Puerto Ayora’s waterfront. In the darkness, he helped villagers and tourists move bags and board buses, cars, scooters – anything with wheels – to move up the mountain that dominates the island of Santa Cruz. Surf shops and tourist agencies were shuttered, promotional photos of tortoise-watching and snorkeling excursions incongruous in the tense evening air. There was good reason to be concerned. In 2011, a wall of water swept across the Pacific Ocean following the earthquake that crippled the Fukushima nuclear power plant. By the time it reached Puerto Ayora, the wave was over 12 feet tall; it crashed through glass windows and flooded most of the lower part of the town. Although the damage was relatively minimal, the event provided a stark wake-up call for local government officials. The emergency preparedness remit for the Galapagos reads like an apocalyptic screenplay in a region prone to all manner of natural disaster – fires, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods. 600 miles from the Ecuadorian mainland, the islands also need to be mindful of sluggish external assistance. By 8:45 PM local time (the Galapagos are three hours behind Chile), the streets of Bellavista, a village well above the splash zone, were bustling, the evacuation plan an apparent success. As open-air cafes spilled out onto the sidewalks and crowds huddled around televisions, an atmosphere of kinetic, purposeful calm prevailed. In the future, Vaca hopes, townspeople will be similarly cooperative and the Risk Management team will avoid boy-who-cried-wolf syndrome. “The people tell me, ‘it never happened, so why should I get concerned?’” recounts Vaca. He’s hoping that a broad public education campaign, from schoolchildren to governmental officials, will prove convincing. “Last night the evacuation was good,” Vaca says in soft dawn light on April 2nd. “There is still room for improvement, but we are ready.” It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking while poking around the Galapagan isle of Pinta in search of mollusks Hungarian zoologist József Vágvölgyi instead discovered a 60-year-old tortoise—the only one remaining with his food supply having been devastated by ravaging feral goats introduced a century earlier this last of the Chelonoidis niger abingdonii was dubbed “Lonesome George” and transported to the Charles Darwin Research Station on the nearby island of Santa Cruz for the safety of the individual and with the aspiration to preserve the subspecies Over decades, George was monitored by multiple teams of scientists and tended by park ranger Fausto Llerana; in 1983 Llerana who had developed a passion for tortoises as an adolescent George cohabitated with two genetically similar females with whom he was encouraged to mate save for a couple of breedings generating eggs that were not viable One hopes that he at least enjoyed their company researchers offered a $10,000 finders fee in exchange for a suitable partner Sadly this matchmaking attempt did not produce the desired results who came to work even on his days off to spend time with him and grew to consider George his best friend His body was sent to the American Museum of Natural History where it was taxidermied and displayed Lonesome George now can be viewed in the Fausto Llerena Breeding Center an installation at the Darwin Station devoted to the beast and named for his keeper While George was thought to be an endling for the duration of his captivity, in 2020 researchers on an expedition to Wolf Volcano on Isabela Island came across a female tortoise determined to be a direct descendent of George’s subspecies Llerena retired shortly after George’s passing He now focuses on carving wood sculptures of local wildlife A rare specimen of an iconic extinct animal in downtown Sydney This poignant display is now a memorial to these regionally extinct species serve as a tool to educate about conservation A natural history museum with an extensive collection of bird dioramas The only university zoological museum in London houses extinct animals Berlin's natural history museum houses the world's largest mounted dinosaur and the late beloved polar bear Knut A curated collection of hundreds of taxidermy animals from across British Columbia Venture into the past with an unlisted exhibit hall featuring extinct birds headed by Carlos Pardo and Lucía Hernández has renovated Casa Ayora – on Calle Mayor in Almussafes a municipality in the comarca Ribera Baja – for museum use the building was a Dominican convent and then a private residence With the idea of establishing a dialogue between easily recognizable historical periods the project minimized changes in the layout of the interior with its room-specific Art Déco hydraulic-tile floors and wallpapering The rear courtyard now features a module that serves as a core for circulation elements and other services visually connecting with the existing stable combines different bonds in a play of lights and shadows The differently treated pavements in the garden (baked clay in what is a reinterpretation of the Valencian orchard of orange trees and grapevines Cliente ClientAyuntamiento de Almussafes  Colaboradores CollaboratorsMonica Calas (arquitecto técnico quantity surveyor) de Noema Restauradores (restauración restoration);

We boarded Lindblad Expeditions' National Geographic Endeavour, and on our very first day we saw sea lions, Sally lightfoot crabs, sea turtles and a flamingo — pink, not plastic. Throughout the week, we added land and marine iguanas, yellow warblers, green sea turtles and giant Galapagos tortoises to that list. A highlight for us was a visit to the Unidad Educativa Modelo Tomas de Berlanga, a prekindergarten through 12th-grade school near Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island. There, we were guided through the grounds by the school's director. The students studied in open-air classrooms. The islands are on the equator, and the weather is warm year-round, with cool breezes from the ocean. There are wet and dry seasons. We were there at the very beginning of the wet season and had beautiful weather. We met 10th-graders Patty Tapia, 15, Nicolas Padilla, 14, and Mateo Saenz, 15, in the art room working on colorful dragons. The students were going to be dismissed soon for their "summer" break at the end of January. They are out of school February, March and April instead of June, July and August. Patty, who spoke very good English, said she has attended her school "all my life. I think 10 years." The school is private, and some students attend through scholarships provided by Lindblad Expeditions. Patty said her school is not the same as other Ecuadorian schools. "For me, this school is different because we learn in the Galapagos with the nature," she said. She added that Unidad Educativa Modelo Tomas de Berlanga has an expanded bilingual program, compared with other schools. They receive about 10 hours of English each week, as opposed to one or two hours a week in other schools. While we were at the school, a prekindergarten class gave us a paper Flat Stanley (from the Flat Stanley book series by Jeff Brown, about a flat boy who can be mailed and packed into luggage). He is shared by schools and travelers around the world. Bessie and the Pine Grove bear are like Flat Stanley, in that they travel, too. The Flat Stanley from Unidad Educativa Modelo Tomas de Berlanga will visit Brooksville and Pine Grove elementary schools before being returned to the Galapagos. While Patty and her friends worked, Bessie and the Pine Grove bear watched. Patty knew we would be returning to Brooksville and sent a message: "Hello to Florida children. Lots of love from Galapagos!"

Juba – The attack in the Malakal protection of civilians site (PoC) on 17 and 18 February is another horrifying instance of brutality in a two year conflict marked by utter and unacceptable lack of respect for the lives and dignity of South Sudanese civilians factually-consistent reports received by MSF in the aftermath of the fighting in the Malakal PoC one of the MSF staff who died was killed while trying to provide medical assistance to people wounded in the fighting MSF has received further reports that other people who tried to put out fires or help the wounded were deliberately targeted and shot These callous acts of reprehensible violence occurred against a backdrop of two years in which civilians have been subject to indiscriminate levels of violence leading to death irreparable wounds and the devastation of already extremely vulnerable communities in South Sudan “This brazen violence and terrorization of civilian populations cannot continue We are heartbroken and devastated by the senseless killing of our two colleagues,” says Raquel Ayora “The violence in the Malakal PoC clearly demonstrates that protection of civilians and provision of humanitarian assistance can only be attained with a change of course in the conduct of hostilities by all parties to the conflict The struggle confronted by civilians just to survive this crisis amidst the absolute chaos we witnessed two weeks ago and throughout this crisis should not be tolerated All of those with power to prevent this from continuing and to protect human life should take action.” armed actors engaged in widespread and intentional destruction of humanitarian services and the shelters of displaced persons in the PoC who had already suffered through two years of violence were forced to seek shelter nearby amid inhumane substandard conditions in an overcrowded UNMISS site prone to outbreaks of disease MSF has confirmed at least nineteen fatalities including two South Sudanese members of MSF’s staff 108 injured people were received in the MSF hospital for treatment But the trauma and massive increase in humanitarian needs resulting from the attack will continue to affect this extremely vulnerable population for months to come.  gathering as close as they can to the areas in the camp perceived to be most safe,” says Ayora “The dire situation and medical needs of the population will continue to worsen unless their security and protection is assured in conjunction with rapid improvement of conditions in the camp.” the thousands of  people remaining in the camp are sheltering  in areas of the camp not equipped for human habitation The population only has access to an average of ten litres of water per person per day little or no shelter and insufficient access to sanitation services medical teams are treating patients for diseases associated with these dire living conditions A further 4,500 people formerly sheltering in the Malakal PoC are now relocated to Malakal town where there is very little access to any humanitarian assistance MSF strongly condemns the unacceptable violence in the area and calls for sustained and meaningful protection

turned down a lucrative offer to join LIV Golf League The media outlet reported that Ayora was offered to join Martin Kaymer's Cleeks GC who played for Cleeks GC in the 2024 LIV Golf season was relegated after finishing 49th in the season's standings and Angel Ayora was offered a two-year deal to join Cleeks GC Ten Golf reported that Ayora weighed the offer initially but rejected it eventually Angel Ayora, 20, was born on October 3, 2004. He recently graduated from the Challenge Tour to the DP World Tour He competed in 24 events and made cuts in 21 of them He had one win and seven top-10 finishes in the 2024 Challenge Tour The Spaniard's lone win came at the 2024 Rosa Challenge Tour which he won by three shots over Dermot McElroy He had runner-up finishes in the final two tournaments of the Challenge Tour Hangzhou Open and Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final Ayora turned professional in 2023 after competing for the Eisenhower Trophy. He has also competed in a few DP World Tour and PGA Tour events Ayora recently competed in the BMW Australian PGA Championship and ISPS Handa Australian Open He tied for sixth and 21st in the 2024-25 DP World Tour tournaments respectively He is currently ranked 238th in the OWGR rankings After turning professional last year, Angel Ayora initially competed in the Q-School to gain the DP World Tour card He even succeeded in the first and second stages of the European Tour Qualifying School but failed to earn the DP World Tour card after a dismal performance in the third stage Let's take a look at his best performances in his professional career so far: Your perspective matters!Start the conversation The Spaniard has just started his professional career and his 2024 earnings don't exceed $330,000 The news about turning down LIV's offer was published by the Spanish media TenGolf the offer received by Angel Ayora came from the Cleeks GC team Cleeks GC has a vacancy after Kalle Samooja was relegated at the end of the season The report says that Angel Ayora took several days to consider the offer but eventually turned it down. In doing so, Ayora chose not to pursue the high prize money characteristic of the Greg Norman-led league Ayora began his professional career at the end of 2023 and earned his Challenge Tour card for 2024 Ayora played 24 events on the Challenge Tour won one tournament and finished in the top 10 in six others Those results allowed him to finish fourth in the circuit's internal standings (called the Race to Mallorca) Ayora has played the first two tournaments of the season on the main European circuit (Australian PGA Championship and Australian Open) Ayora made his PGA Tour debut in 2024 at the Puerto Rico Open Most of this amount ($266,654.42) came from his exploits on the Challenge Tour while $55,222.66 was from the DP World Tour and $8120 for his PGA Tour performances In deciding to remain on the DP World Tour, Ayora didn't follow in the footsteps of compatriots David Puig and Eugenio Chacarra. Both rising stars debuted on LIV Golf in 2022 LIV Golf has pursued a strategy of signing young players as well as big stars Surratt went straight from the classroom at the University of Tennessee to Legion XIII It's also the case of others like Matt Wolff and Joaquin Niemann who were already established players on the PGA Tour Ayora hasn't commented on the reasons that motivated him to turn down the offer It seems that not everyone wants LIV Golf’s millions And at least this young star from Spain would not accept the lucrative deal no matter how many dollars are thrown on his table Although Angel Ayora has not confirmed the news reports suggest the Spaniard rejected LIV Golf approached Ayora with a two-year contract as their member Kalle Samooja was relegated just as Ludvig Aberg rejected a deal with the breakaway circuit and said “I will never chase money; what I do is compete,” the Spaniard followed suit but it really is not the first time they have been denied Ayora has represented Spain and Europe multiple times while playing for the Costa Ballena Ocean Club de Golf in Madrid But he grew up learning golf at the La Cañada Golf Club (San Roque) Before turning professional in November 2024 Ayora won many trophies with his Spanish team and was also given the Gold Medal of Merit from the Royal Spanish Golf Federation as his team won the European Amateur Championship in 2023 🚨🇪🇸❌ #REPORT — World #238, Angel Ayora has rejected a 2 year deal to join LIV Golf’s @Cleeks_GC, per @Tengolf pic.twitter.com/67A562IHTl — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) December 1, 2024 From the get-go, the 20-year-old pro demonstrated exceptional talent, and that’s how he made it on the DP World Tour. Just two weeks into his professional career, Angel Ayora has shown that he is capable of big things and that’s probably why LIV Golf wanted him on its roster. Before the DP World Tour, Angel Ayora started playing on the Q-School to make it on the Challenge Tour. He took a long path to becoming a professional which panned out how he expected. As the 2023 season was concluding, Ayora came out victorious at the first stage of the European Tour Qualifying School at Donnington, whereas in the second stage, he finished tied for third. After the third stage, the 20-year-old could not get the DP World Tour card but didn’t lose hope. Ayora instead turned his attention to the Challenge Tour and decided to play his best. He carded eleven top 15s in the 2024 season including a victory at the Rosa Challenge Tour and runner-up finishes at the Hangzhou Open and the Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final. After his successful year, and finishing 4th on Road to Mallorca, Ayora got the European Tour card for the 2025 season. What’s your perspective on:Angel Ayora snubs LIV Golf's millions—Is passion for the game worth more than a fat paycheck? Moreover, he has already played two events as a DP World Tour member. He was T6 at the BMW Australian PGA Championship and finished T23 at the ISPS HANDA Australian Open. Undoubtedly, Ayora’s start on the DP World Tour is better than expected and if he continues on this path, he may soon clinch the maiden trophy. Not only that, Ayora also made his PGA Tour debut in 2024 at the Puerto Rico Open and made the cut, finishing 72nd. After all, his role models are Tiger Woods and Seve Ballesteros and he surely wants to be like them, winning all around the globe, representing Spain, and becoming a legend to be remembered forever! 0  DebateWhat's Your Perspective OnAngel Ayora snubs LIV Golf's millions—Is passion for the game worth more than a fat paycheck?

Yes, we all know how bad guys' names go: The less intimidating they sound, all the more scary they truly are. If you're a fan of The Boys, then you're probably very familiar with Banshee's lead, Anthony Starr, who plays Homelander in the hit Amazon Prime series. Anthony portrays Lucas Hood in the series, which aired for four seasons to both critical and audience acclaim. Ana played a recurring role in the program's fourth and final season: Nina Cruz, a "smart, tough, streetwise deputy in Banshee's Sheriff's Department" as Fandom puts it. Ana's compiled an impressive resume before and after her appearance on the Cinemax drama, however. One of her first listed credits is in Marley & Me where she played Viviana. She appeared in Lincoln Heights for two episodes, had a guest role in Castle, and a sizable role in The Big Wedding before nabbing a recurring role on Chop Shop as Sofia. She played another Sofia on Major Crimes before nabbing a guest role on the MacGyver reboot as Kamila, and was even featured in the love-it-or-hate-it Captain Marvel as Agent Whitcher. Ana went on to get another high profile role in In The Dark following the release of the blockbuster flick and her latest project is 2020's The Christmas House, a Hallmark flick that's sure to make everyone feel warm and fuzzy around the holidays. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ana Ayora (@iamanaayora) Ana's a Colombian-American actress who first dreamed of becoming a professional dancer. After sustaining a ligament injury, however, she took up modeling and then fell into acting after booking several commercials. She "made it" after landing a huge role in The Big Wedding as Nuria Soto, after years of working night shifts at American Apparel and a club called Touch. The network's known to produce saccharine, feel-good movies — and it becomes especially inundated with content around the holidays. But The Christmas House spells a first for the network: It's the first time a movie will feature a same-sex couple as lead characters. Jonathan Bennett plays Brandon, a man who travels home with his husband, Jake, who's portrayed by Brad Harder. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ana Ayora (@iamanaayora) The couple's "Christmas Wish" is their hope to start a family and they're eagerly awaiting news that their adoption application will be accepted and go through. Jonathan said it was "an honor" to play a starring role in the film and make history for Hallmark: "This is the first gay storyline in a Hallmark Channel movie." He continued, "It's the first time you see two men in love starting their own family, and that's such a groundbreaking thing because representation is important. Of all the movies I've done in 20 years in Hollywood, this movie is the most important to me because this character matters. And this character is making a difference," Jonathan said.
