King Charles speech at opening of Parliament King Charles III gives speech at opening of U.K. Parliament 01:23 Toronto — A small Canadian town’s five recently elected councilors refused to swear an oath of allegiance to Britain’s King Charles III during their investiture ceremony on Tuesday, despite it being a legal requirement in the northwestern Yukon territory where Dawson City is located. Under a regulation in the Yukon’s Municipal Act, elected councilors are required to swear an oath of allegiance to the British monarch, who remains the official head of state of Canada despite the colonial-era link no longer giving the king any real power in the country.  The oath of allegiance to the monarch is typically taken by Yukon councilors when they’re sworn into office, right after they give the separate oath of office, within 40 days of their election.  If the politicians fail to do so, their election can be declared null and void, resulting in the office being left vacant and potentially leading to a special election, known as a by-election. Dawson City, a small town in Canada’s western Yukon Territory, is seen

LOS ÁNGELES —  Las protestas y la presión de la comunidad angelina no lograron la renuncia del concejal Kevin De León, pero las secuelas del escándalo de los audios racistas en contra de la comunidad afroestadounidense y oaxaqueña lo llevó a perder su asiento en la contienda electoral por el distrito 14 del Ayuntamiento de Los Ángeles. La abogada de derechos de inquilinos, Ysabel Jurado, se declaró ganadora este jueves, 7 de noviembre, al acumular 33 mil 350 votos, equivalente al 55.78%, superando por cerca de 7 mil sufragios al actual concejal en el escrutinio preliminar, un hecho que provocó la reacción inmediata de la comunidad oaxaqueña. “Es un acto de justicia que los votantes lo hayan castigado de esa manera”, valoró Mauro Hernández, presidente de la Organización Regional de Oaxaca (ORO), recordando con desazón y dolor ese momento en el que el diario Los Angeles Times reveló los audios con comentarios racistas en donde se escuchan a tres concejales y a un líder sindical latinos referirse a los afroestadounidenses y oaxaqueños de forma despectiva. El 9 de octubre de 2022, este periódico divulgó unos audios

By Sara Moniuszko Edited By Paula Cohen November 8, 2024 / 9:50 AM EST / CBS News How to avoid seasonal depression How to avoid seasonal depression caused by daylight saving end 03:16 Worried about slipping into the winter blues ? A “dopamine menu” could help. Popularized on social media, a dopamine menu is a list of positive activities that people can do to feel better during a tough period, family physician Dr. Mike Sevilla told CBS News.  “People normally go to social media to get their dopamine hit, which is basically making them feel better, but usually after something like that they don’t feel as good ,” he said.  Dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain, plays a crucial role in mood and motivation . Dopamine menus may be particularly helpful for neurodivergent people , as well as for combatting seasonal slumps, explains Michelle Hunt, a psychotherapist at Empower Your Mind Therapy. “Neurodivergent individuals tend to have reduced (or) limited dopamine, which impacts every function in the body,” Hunt said, but she adds that anyone can benefit from trying out the method. “Understanding and addressing

PeilingLeeCopyright/Getty Images This has been gold’s year. The precious metal has been on a tear in recent months, outperforming many other asset classes by a landslide. Case in point: Forecasts project stock market gains of about 9.3% for the year. Meanwhile, gold prices have jumped by over a whopping 35% since the start of 2024 alone. The reasons for the yellow metal’s performance are many — high (but now cooling) inflation , geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty as we head into a new presidential administration among them.

And should you consider adding some to your portfolio as we close out the metal’s record-breaking year?  Get started with gold investing today. Should gold

If you had asked me to go on a date with someone who was barely out of prison, my answer would be an immediate no. I am not someone with Bonnie and Clyde syndrome, and I have never initiated anything with a known ex-con. My dad used to make fun of me for being someone who sticks to rules — almost to a fault. I hated when he double parked or ignored posted signs. Then I met Mr. Hollywood on a dating app. As I get older, using dating apps puts me in a smaller and smaller mating pool. Most men my age or younger date younger or are married and looking for something on the side. I’m a health food-eating meditator who is rather arty. I have not made a fortune yet, and I want to find a partner, not a paramour. I’m not everyone’s style. Men no longer look at me as a woman to mold. They just see that I don’t drink, don’t smoke and have aged out of being a pinup. I was intrigued by Mr. Hollywood. He was cute. He

By Mary Murphy November 8, 2024 / 8:13 AM EST / CBS News Sneak peek: Tracking the Killer of Mary Catherine Edwards Sneak peek: Tracking the Killer of Mary Catherine Edwards 03:38 On Jan. 14, 1995, Mary Catherine Edwards, 31, a beloved elementary school teacher, was found dead in her townhouse in Beaumont, Texas.  Her parents found her. It was a terrible scene: she was in her bathtub, handcuffed, and had been sexually assaulted. There were no signs of forced entry, which made investigators think she must know her killer. The police-grade Smith & Wesson handcuffs were always a big clue, but when detectives tried tracing the serial numbers, they came up empty. Early investigators questioned various law enforcement officers and came up with nothing either. The investigation into the murder of 31-year-old Texas schoolteacher Mary Catherine Edwards went cold for decades. Texas Department of Public Safety The case went cold, but as Beaumont police Det. Aaron Lewallen told “48 Hours” contributor Natalie Morales, “It was almost talked about like a ghost story around a campfire. Could it have been somebody that we knew?” Morales
