NoneWASHINGTON (AP) — Working-class voters helped Republicans make steady election gains this year and expanded a coalition that increasingly includes rank-and-file union members, a political shift spotlighting one of President-elect Donald Trump’s latest Cabinet picks: a GOP congresswoman, who has drawn labor support, to be his labor secretary. Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer narrowly lost her bid for a second term this month, despite strong backing from union members, a key part of the Democratic base but gravitating in the Trump era toward a Republican Party traditionally allied with business interests. “Lori’s strong support from both the Business and Labor communities will ensure that the Labor Department can unite Americans of all backgrounds behind our Agenda for unprecedented National Success - Making America Richer, Wealthier, Stronger and more Prosperous than ever before!” Trump said in a statement announcing his choice Friday night. For decades, labor unions have sided with Democrats and been greeted largely with hostility by Republicans. But with Trump's populist appeal, his working-class base saw a decent share of union rank-and-file voting for Republicans this year, even as major unions, including the AFL-CIO and the United Auto Workers , endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris in the White House race. Trump sat down with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union leadership and members this year, and when he emerged from that meeting, he boasted that a significant chunk of union voters were backing him. Of a possible Teamsters endorsement, he said, “Stranger things have happened.” The Teamsters ultimately declined to endorse either Trump, the former president, or Harris, the vice president, though leader Sean O’Brien had a prominent speaking slot at the Republican National Convention. Kara Deniz, a Teamsters spokesperson, told the Associated Press that O’Brien met with more than a dozen House Republicans this past week to lobby on behalf of Chavez-DeRemer. “Chavez-DeRemer would be an excellent choice for labor secretary and has his backing,” Deniz said. The work of the Labor Department affects workers’ wages, health and safety, ability to unionize, and employers' rights to fire employers, among other responsibilities. On Election Day, Trump deepened his support among voters without a college degree after running just slightly ahead of Democrat Joe Biden with noncollege voters in 2020. Trump made modest gains, earning a clear majority of this group, while only about 4 in 10 supported Harris, according to AP VoteCast, a sweeping survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide. Roughly 18% of voters in this year's election were from union households, with Harris winning a majority of the group. But Trump's performance among union members kept him competitive and helped him win key states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. Chavez-DeRemer was one of few House Republicans to endorse the “Protecting the Right to Organize” or PRO Act, which would allow more workers to conduct organizing campaigns and add penalties for companies that violate workers’ rights. The measure would weaken “right-to-work” laws that allow employees in more than half the states to avoid participating in or paying dues to unions that represent workers at their places of employment. Trump's first term saw firmly pro-business policies from his appointees across government, including those on the National Labor Relations Board. Trump, a real estate developer and businessman before winning the presidency, generally has backed policies that would make it harder for workers to unionize. During his recent campaign, Trump criticized union bosses, and at one point suggested that UAW members should not pay their dues. His first administration did expand overtime eligibility rules, but not nearly as much as Democrats wanted, and a Trump-appointed judge has since struck down the Biden administration’s more generous overtime rules. He has stacked his incoming administration with officials who worked on the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025” blueprint, which includes a sharp swing away from Biden’s pro-union policies. “Chavez-DeRemer’s record suggests she understands the value of policies that strengthen workers’ rights and economic security,” said Rebecca Dixon, president and CEO of National Employment Law Project, which is backed my many of the country’s major labor unions. “But the Trump administration’s agenda is fundamentally at odds with these principles, threatening to roll back workplace protections, undermine collective bargaining, and prioritize corporate profits over the needs of working people. This is where her true commitment to workers will be tested.” Other union leaders also issued praise, but also sounded a note of caution. “Educators and working families across the nation will be watching ... as she moves through the confirmation process,” the president of the National Education Association, Becky Pringle, said in a statement, “and hope to hear a pledge from her to continue to stand up for workers and students as her record suggests, not blind loyalty to the Project 2025 agenda.” AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler welcomed the choice while taking care to note Trump's history of opposing polices that support unions. "It remains to be seen what she will be permitted to do as secretary of labor in an administration with a dramatically anti-worker agenda,” Shuler said.big fish casino 777 。

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Formula 1 on Monday at last said it will expand its grid in 2026 to make room for an American team that is partnered with General Motors. “As the pinnacle of motorsports, F1 demands boundary-pushing innovation and excellence. It’s an honor for General Motors and Cadillac to join the world’s premier racing series, and we’re committed to competing with passion and integrity to elevate the sport for race fans around the world," GM President Mark Reuss said. "This is a global stage for us to demonstrate GM’s engineering expertise and technology leadership at an entirely new level.” The approval ends years of wrangling that launched a U.S. Justice Department investigation into why Colorado-based Liberty Media, the commercial rights holder of F1, would not approve the team initially started by Michael Andretti. Andretti in September stepped aside from leading his namesake organization, so the 11th team will be called Cadillac F1 and be run by new Andretti Global majority owners Dan Towriss and Mark Walter. The team will use Ferrari engines its first two years until GM has a Cadillac engine built for competition in time for the 2028 season. Towriss is the the CEO and president of Group 1001 and entered motorsports via Andretti's IndyCar team when he signed on financial savings platform Gainbridge as a sponsor. Towriss is now a major part of the motorsports scene with ownership stakes in both Spire Motorsports' NASCAR team and Wayne Taylor Racing's sports car team. Walter is the chief executive of financial services firm Guggenheim Partners and the controlling owner of both the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers and Premier League club Chelsea. “We’re excited to partner with General Motors in bringing a dynamic presence to Formula 1," Towriss said. “Together, we’re assembling a world-class team that will embody American innovation and deliver unforgettable moments to race fans around the world.” Mario Andretti, the 1978 F1 world champion, will have an ambassador role with Cadillac F1. But his son, Michael, will have no official position with the organization now that he has scaled back his involvement with Andretti Global. “The Cadillac F1 Team is made up of a strong group of people that have worked tirelessly to build an American works team,” Michael Andretti posted on social media. “I’m very proud of the hard work they have put in and congratulate all involved on this momentous next step. I will be cheering for you!” The approval has been in works for weeks but was held until after last weekend's Las Vegas Grand Prix to not overshadow the showcase event of the Liberty Media portfolio. Max Verstappen won his fourth consecutive championship in Saturday night's race, the third and final stop in the United States for the top motorsports series in the world. Grid expansion in F1 is both infrequent and often unsuccessful. Four teams were granted entries in 2010 that should have pushed the grid to 13 teams and 26 cars for the first time since 1995. One team never made it to the grid and the other three had vanished by 2017. There is only one American team on the current F1 grid — owned by California businessman Gene Haas — but it is not particularly competitive and does not field American drivers. Andretti’s dream was to field a truly American team with American drivers. The fight to add this team has been going on for three-plus years and F1 initially denied the application despite approval from F1 sanctioning body FIA . The existing 10 teams, who have no voice in the matter, also largely opposed expansion because of the dilution in prize money and the billions of dollars they’ve already invested in the series. Andretti in 2020 tried and failed to buy the existing Sauber team. From there, he applied for grid expansion and partnered with GM, the top-selling manufacturer in the United States. The inclusion of GM was championed by the FIA and president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, who said Michael Andretti’s application was the only one of seven applicants to meet all required criteria to expand F1’s current grid. “General Motors is a huge global brand and powerhouse in the OEM world and is working with impressive partners," Ben Sulayem said Monday. "I am fully supportive of the efforts made by the FIA, Formula 1, GM and the team to maintain dialogue and work towards this outcome of an agreement in principle to progress this application." Despite the FIA's acceptance of Andretti and General Motors from the start, F1 wasn't interested in Andretti — but did want GM. At one point, F1 asked GM to find another team to partner with besides Andretti. GM refused and F1 said it would revisit the Andretti application if and when Cadillac had an engine ready to compete. “Formula 1 has maintained a dialogue with General Motors, and its partners at TWG Global, regarding the viability of an entry following the commercial assessment and decision made by Formula 1 in January 2024,” F1 said in a statement. “Over the course of this year, they have achieved operational milestones and made clear their commitment to brand the 11th team GM/Cadillac, and that GM will enter as an engine supplier at a later time. Formula 1 is therefore pleased to move forward with this application process." Yet another major shift in the debate over grid expansion occurred earlier this month with the announced resignation of Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei, who was largely believed to be one of the biggest opponents of the Andretti entry. “With Formula 1’s continued growth plans in the US, we have always believed that welcoming an impressive US brand like GM/Cadillac to the grid and GM as a future power unit supplier could bring additional value and interest to the sport," Maffei said. "We credit the leadership of General Motors and their partners with significant progress in their readiness to enter Formula 1." AP auto racing: https://apnews.com/hub/auto-racing

Formula 1 expands grid to add General Motors' Cadillac brand and new American team for 2026 seasonAnge Postecoglou knows only a win will do when Tottenham travel to face Rangers in the UEFA Europa League. Postecoglou enjoyed plenty of success at Rangers' expense when he was in charge of their bitter rivals Celtic but the Australian tactician has been finding the going tough in London. Spurs let a 2-0 lead slip in a 4-3 defeat against local rivals Chelsea at the weekend and are winless in four matches across all competitions since beating Manchester City 4-0 last month. Rangers and Tottenham head into Thursday's match locked on 10 points as the battle for an automatic passage into the Round of 16 hots up. The Sporting News looks at the latest team news for this fixture. MORE: All the latest Tottenham news | Premier League schedule for 2024/25 | Latest Premier League top scorer rankings Rangers vs. Tottenham lineups, starting 11, team news Rangers have been without left-back Ridvan Yilmaz for much of the year due to a hamstring injury, and while he's come back to make a few substitute appearances, his availability is unclear after serving as an unused substitute in the weekend's league game. On the other flank, Dutch right-back Neraysho Kasanwirjo is out until the new year with a knee injury. Philippe Clement confirmed that while Rabbi Matondo is nearing a return from a hamstring issue of his own, he will not be ready quite yet to make the squad. The prognosis is better for young Colombian winger Oscar Cortes who is available after missing much of the year with his own muscle injury. Clement has a decision to make in the attack, with forwards Hamza Igamane , Danilo , and Cyriel Dessers all pushing for playing time up front. Dressers leads the club with 12 goals across all competitions this year, but has lost his starting place in recent weeks. Rangers projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Butland (GK) — Tavernier, Souttar, Balogun, Jefte — Hagi, Raskin — Cerny, Barron, Igamane — Danilo. Rangers subs: (Lineups released one hour prior to kickoff) Ange Postecoglou has a real selection headache when it comes to his available Tottenham defenders, admitting it's the worst injury crisis he's faced as a manager "by a fair stretch." Spurs will be without oft-injured Micky van de Ven as well as Cristian Romero after both picked up issues on their ill-advised return against Chelsea, while Ben Davies will also miss out. They're also down starting goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario who's out for months with a serious ankle injury. Brennan Johnson is likely to return after exiting the weekend's game with an illness, but it's unclear whether Richarlison will be ready to see the field as he recovers from a hamstring injury. Tottenham projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Forster (GK) — Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Udogie — Kulusevski, Bissouma, Sarr — B. Johnson, Solanke, Son.

The Clarets extended their unbeaten run to 11 games by claiming a hard-earned point at the Riverside in their final game of 2024, just three days on from their big win against Sheffield United on Boxing Day. Parker, whose side are back in action again on New Year’s Day against Stoke City, had nothing but praise for his players, despite rueing a big Josh Brownhill miss that would have made it four wins on the spin. Advertisement Advertisement “I’m probably a little bit disappointed [not to get all three points],” he admitted. “I thought the game ebbed and flowed. But we have a glorious chance, in fact we have a couple to be fair, but we have a big chance with Browny and I don’t think you’d want a better man to put that in - he’s proven that over the course of the season - but he’s not managed to do that tonight. “I could forgive any of them for missing, but certainly Browny. “Overall it’s a good point. We’ve had some tough fixtures and I knew this would be a big test for us. Not just in terms of the opposition we were facing, but just in terms of where we were after a tough schedule. The fixtures have probably not been the best of friends since they came out at the start of the season - Sheffield United away on Boxing Day was a tough game and tonight as well. “But overall I’m really pleased with the team.” Advertisement Advertisement While Parker is pleased with the point, that’s not to say he was happy to settle for a draw having thrown on two strikers late on in search of a winner. It didn’t transpire, with Boro ending the game the stronger, but Parker felt he had to freshen things up having named an unchanged side for the third game running. “It was tempting to make changes, of course, but they’re the decisions as a manager you’re constantly having to face,” he added. “It wasn’t an easy decision but I think it was proven right. I did consider freshening things up to maybe give us a spark because we’ve just had a tough game at Sheffield United, but the players were superb. “We wanted to come here and get three points and I think the subs we made indicated that. We wanted to try and win the game. “We didn’t manage to do that but that was the idea.”Tech review: Gift options for the cord cutter

SIMON Harris is fighting to save Fine Gael from an electoral drubbing after a series of blunders which have turned the Harris Hop into a Simon Slump. A series of campaign gaffes by the Taoiseach has seen support for Fine Gael ­slide ­dramatically in recent days. The Taoiseach’s party was down four per cent in one poll on ­Sunday and down an extraordinary six per cent in a separate poll ­today. The slide comes on the back of a series of headline grabbing ­incidents in Fine Gael’s election campaign. The first was Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary’s comments at a Fine Gael event where he said teachers were not the best people to deliver change ­— which sparked a furious reaction from Ireland’s educators. This was followed by controversy over the party’s decision to stand by election candidate John McGahon in Co Louth despite video footage and pictures emerging of injuries he caused to a man in a row outside a pub six years ago. The Fine Gael senator was found not guilty of assault in a criminal case but had to pay damages to the injured man following a civil case. Over the weekend, Fine Gael were hit with a further controversy when Harris had a difficult exchange with a care worker at a supermarket in Cork. Disability care worker Charlotte Fallon challenged the Taoiseach on the government’s support of Section 39 workers and was left visibly emotional after he told her it wasn’t true and walked away. A video of the exchange went viral on social media with Harris later phoning the care worker to apologise for his actions . Speaking on RTE’s Claire Byrne Show today, the Fine Gael leader issued another grovelling apology over the exchange and admitted that he got it wrong . He said: “I don’t want to get into making excuses because that takes from the point. “The point is I was wrong. When you’re wrong in politics and when you’re wrong in life I was always reared to own it, to put your hands up, to apologise, to do that immediately and then to seek to rectify it. “I did have a very good conversation with Charlotte and what Charlotte wanted to talk to me about was the pay to Section 39 workers — an issue that the government had agreed to make progress on a year ago. “There are meetings on this issue due to be held this week with unions which is important because we do need to resolve it. “And secondly she wanted to talk to me about the means’ test for carers which I’m absolutely committed to abolishing in the lifetime of the next government and significantly moving on that.” Pressed on the issue, he added: “I let myself down and I’m deeply annoyed with myself. There’s no one more annoyed with me than me and particularly on an issue that I feel incredibly passionate about. "I have been that teenager who has watched my own mother cry with frustration at being a mother of a child with special education needs. “I know what it is like to be in a family where you feel isolated, where you feel let down, where you fight for services on that issue I am so ­passionate about.” RTE today said the clip of the exchange with care worker Ms Fallon is the most viewed election video across their ­platforms with the Taoiseach asking people not to judge him on 40 seconds. TO run as a candidate in a general election and be in with a chance of being voted in as a TD you must meet a number of requirements. Candidates must be a citizen of Ireland and over 21 years of age - to run for a political party you must go through your party's political selection procedure. To run as an independent candidate you must present your nomination paper to the returning officer in the constituency you wish to run in. You can nominate yourself for election and you can run in multiple constituencies. You do not have to own property or live in the constituency you run in. To register, you must give the returning officer a certificate of party affiliation or statutory declarations signed by 30 constituents or a deposit of €500. All nomination papers must be submitted by midday on the seventh day after the Clerk of the Dail issues the writ for the General Election. In order to vote in a general election in Ireland you must meet multiple requirements. Voters must be 18 years or older, a resident in Ireland and registered to vote. Irish citizens can vote in general elections as can British citizens who live in Ireland and British citizens are recognised by the letter D on the Register. EU citizens cannot vote in General Elections in Ireland and neither can non-EU citizens. He said: “I don’t think fair people and decent people — and that’s what people right across this country are — will judge me on 40 seconds on a Friday evening. “I think they’ll judge me on my record. They’ll judge me on what I’m going to do over the next five years. What I want to do. "What Fine Gael wants to do and the plans that we’ve put forward to fix and rectify disability services. “It is something that I’ve prioritised since becoming Taoiseach.” The narrowing of the polls now means the three big parties are neck and neck, all close to 20 per cent in support. Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald now believes that it is “game on” for her party to win the election as she prepares to take on Micheal Martin and Harris in a crucial leader’s debate tonight. Ms McDonald said that tonight’s debate could be a defining moment in the election campaign. Speaking while visiting the Deaf Village in her home area of Cabra in Dublin , she said: “There is momentum now with us. "It’s now clear there can be a government beyond Fine Gael and Fianna Fail and for the first time we can have a government led by Sinn Fein.” She added: “I think the debate is important. I regret to say we’re only having one three-way debate. “I think there was scope for other three-way debates and Simon Harris refused an invitation from Sky and Today FM. “So tomorrow evening is vitally important. It gives us an ­opportunity to set out our stalls. “I look forward to challenging Micheal Martin and challenging Simon Harris on their records but more importantly setting out our stall and ambition to get the basic things right for people.” Speaking while campaigning in Dublin, Harris added: “Four days out from the General Election and it is very much all to play for.” “I let myself down and I’m deeply annoyed with myself. There’s no one more annoyed with me than me and particularly on an issue that I feel incredibly passionate about." Deputy Martin today batted away questions about his party being top of one of the opinion polls. Speaking on the campaign trail in Dublin’s Fingal West, the Tanaiste said: “We’re still all around 20 per cent give or take. “You can go up or down two per cent so I’m not getting in anyway excited about these polls. We would have always felt that the three parties of Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and Sinn Fein were about 20 per cent but the real poll is on Friday. “There is a degree of volatility there. There are a lot of votes to be won and there are a lot of issues on the doorsteps so it would be very foolish to read much into the two polls we had this weekend.”

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Any Texas or Texas A&M player has heard the lore of the rivalry between the two schools, a grudge match that dates to 1894. But for more than a decade — two generations of college football players — that's all it has been: Ghostly memories of great games and great plays made by heroes of the distant past.

LAGOS – In continuation of its consumer protection awareness programme, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) is set to hold the next phase of the event in the Federal Capital Territory (F.C.T), Abuja. A statement by the agency said that the consumer awareness programme, which is aimed at sensitising air travellers on their rights, duties and responsibilities, would take place on Friday, November 22, 2024 at 9a.m in two different places simultaneously. It said that the programme would also enhance pleasant traveling experience for air passengers, by fostering increased adoption of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven digital innovation consumer right protection and dispute management portal recently launched by the authority. According to the statement, Pliance Global Aviation Limited would be facilitating the ⁠National Civil Aviation Stakeholder Awareness Summit event at the Federal Secretariat, Shehu Shagari Way, Central Business District, Abuja, while Brisk Systems Limited, a digital technology firm, would be facilitating the Consumer Protection Digital Innovation Stakeholder Awareness Programme at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. It said that the programme would involve roadshow, AI DEMO, Key Informant Interview, Random customer interviews and engagement and a town hall engagement with stakeholders. The agency maintained that the programme had become necessary to close the gap of knowledge between air travellers, airlines and aviation agencies, which in the past had led to animosities and poor consumer experience among many that travel both on domestic and international destinations. The Consumer Protection Directorate of NCAA has carried out studies and discovered that many passengers do not know their rights and obligations when buying air tickets from airlines. The statement added: “So, it is in pursuance to the renewed commitment of the executive management of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority under the leadership of Capt. Chris Najomo, towards birthing a civil aviation and air transportation industry, that will contribute maximally to economic growth and development in the country that the regulatory authority has decided to close this gap through the forthcoming summit. “One of the objectives of the summit is to regain travellers’ confidence through the enforcement of consumers right, build a more informed customers and air travel community base, entrench service excellence culture across the civil aviation value chain in the country.” The stated said that the NCAA, through a consortium of consultants had set up series of well-structured, logically aligned and strategically situated programme of events to drive the re-birthing, re-branding and re-engineering initiatives. Fundamentally, the series of stakeholder engagement and public awareness programme was aimed at setting the roadmap for achieving a more efficient civil aviation and air transportation system in the country. This it said would only be possible through an inclusive dialogue by critical stakeholders and major actors in the Nigerian civil aviation air transportation value chain.J.K.

Over in the US, you can secure this stunning body for just $1,799 at Best Buy , Adorama , or Amazon . That's a full $200 off the launch price. That saving also carries over to the kit-lens bundle if you fancy picking up the excellent 40mm f/2 prime lens that's tailor-made for the camera. In the UK, today's Black Friday deal on the Nikon Zf is arguably even stronger. Right now, you can pick up the body for the almost unbelievable price of just £1,568.37 (was £2,499) at Amazon . This deal seems to be proving popular since the retailer has already sold out of immediate stock. There's currently a wait-time of at least a month but I'd say it's well worth waiting for such an incredible price. Black Friday Nikon Zf deals Classic retro style, full frame 24MP sensor, Nikon's best in-body image stabilisation, smart manual focus controls, and a dedicated black and white color mode – all for a record-low price. The retro-style camera market is big business and it attracts larger-than-life price tags. However, Nikon's Zf packs a technological punch alongside producing excellent image quality. You'll love the experience of shooting with the Zf, and with a record-high discount for Black Friday, this stunning camera is a lot easier on the pocket this week. Also available at Amazon and Adorama for the same price. And, if you're eying up this camera in the UK, the good news is that Amazon UK also listing the Nikon Zf for its lowest ever price in the ongoing Black Friday sales. At almost £1,000 off, this is a bonkers good deal. The bad news? There's a slight waiting time before you can secure your camera, but I think that's a small price to pay for this incredible deal. You can check out our full Nikon Zf review if you're interested in learning more about this excellent camera. In short, it's not just worth picking up because of it's incredible retro design and looks, but also because it's easily one of the best mirrorless cameras that the brand makes right now with excellent in-body stabilization, great autofocus, and superb monochrome color profiles. Right now, this is my clear pick for today's best camera deal - but I'll admit, I'm a complete sucker for the retro look. If you're on the hunt for something more modern, then I'd highly recommend our main Black Friday camera deals page as there's plenty of Sony, Canon, and other Nikon bodies on sale today for record-low prices.

More info Shoppers have been poking fun at the absence of Harry and Meghan from Selfridges' Royal family Christmas bauble range, with some suggesting that the Sussexes' decorations might end up "in the bargain bin". The high-end Oxford Street store is selling £40 ornaments resembling King Charles, the late Queen Elizabeth, and the Waleses, but neither the Duke and Duchess of Sussex nor Queen Consort Camilla feature in the collection. Social media users have reacted to the omission, with one quipping: "I'm presuming that the Harry and Meghan baubles are in the bargain bin?!" Another chimed in with a tongue-in-cheek comment about Queen Camilla's absence: "I am sure Queen Camilla is very grateful!"

One detractor remarked on the Prince and Princess of Wales' baubles: "Both awful looking. No doubt the royal sycophants on here will lap these up, though." Despite the mixed reactions, the unique baubles did attract attention inside Selfridges, although the steep price tag seemed to deter potential buyers. A pair of American tourists, after taking a photo with the Prince William bauble, commented: "It's nice - but not for £40! " Similarly, another shopper expressed her dilemma to a friend: "They're sweet - but £40 just for one?" Prince William's baubles were nestled between those resembling British actress Audrey Hepburn and American musician Post Malone. Other celebrities featured around the future king included Amy Winehouse, Harry Styles, Freddie Mercury, Britney Spears, and Paul Hollywood. The festive ornaments, crafted from coloured glass, stand approximately 12 - 13cm tall. King Charles is portrayed in his full Coronation Day attire, while the late Queen Elizabeth is adorned with one of her many crowns. On its website, Selfridges describes its Kate Middleton decoration as "a stunning depiction of Her Royal Highness Princess Kate." In reference to its Prince William bauble, the store states: "This piece is sure to add a hint of regal sophistication to your Christmas decor."Shares of Azincourt Energy Corp.
