Trump taps Charles Kushner, father of his son-in-law, as envoy to FranceBasketball fans in Prince George know how valuable Sveta Boykova has been for the UNBC Timberwolves since she joined the women’s basketball team 3 1⁄2 seasons ago. This past weekend Boykova offered a reminder to the rest of the U SPORTS Canada West sports community why her contributions as a fourth-year forward are so important to the TWolves’ bottom line. The Moscow native played a huge role in UNBC’s comeback victories over the visiting UBC-Okanagan Heat at the Northern Sport Centre and has been named Canada West Biosteel women’s basketball player of the week. Boykova started the weekend as the key component of a 64-55 win over the Heat on Friday. She collected 16 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one blocked shot to lead her team to victory. Then in the rematch Saturday she was equally dominant, scoring 20 points in a 68-67 triumph. Boykova has moved into the TWolves’ top-five in career scoring, with 745 points, while her 706 rebounds ranks third on the all-time list at UNBC. She’s averaged 10.9 rebounds per game in her career, tops among TWolves. She becomes the fourth UNBC player since September 2023 to be selected for a Canada West player of the week award, following on the success of Michael Henman (men’s soccer, September 2023), Justin Sunga (men’s basketall, February 2024) and Brityn Hinsche (women’s soccer, September 2024). The two weekend wins kept the UNBC undefeated this season in three games at Brownridge Court and that improved the TWolves’ women’s basketball record to 3-5 as they head into the semester break. They return to action on Friday, Dec. 10 in Abbotsford, where they will meet the Fraser Valley Cascades.Partnering with hummel and Northwell Health, the new kit honors the club's iconic local roots.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Solutions Market to Grow by USD 12.4 Billion (2024-2028), Boosted by New Product Launches, AI Impacting Market Trends - TechnavioThe trans drag queen known as “Peppermint” — a former star of RuPaul’s Drag Race — appeared on a recent CNN panel to argue in favor of transgender procedures for minors, declaring that lawmakers should not have a say in the controversial subject. On Wednesday, Peppermint appeared on CNN’s “Newsnight with Abby Phillips” alongside fellow trans activist Shane Diamond, both of whom were representing GLAAD, to discuss the U.S. Supreme Court case surrounding Tennessee’s law banning sex change drugs and procedures for minors who believe they are transgender. Peppermint and Shane Diamond deployed a slew of euphemisms to argue their case — describing irreversible and experimental trans procedures as “healthcare” and even renaming puberty blockers as puberty “delayers.” They also contended that the science is settled on the matter — even though countries in western Europe have recently revised their own stances. “I think that lawmakers should not be the arbiters of people’s healthcare. That should be between the patient and the doctor,” Peppermint said, later adding: “I don’t think being transgender or seeking medical care is political. I think it has been politicized largely by the right to create this type of conversation, to create these wedges.” Later, Shane Diamond used the term puberty “delayers” — a re-branding of “puberty blockers,” the controversial and experimental medication whose potential long-term risks are include mental illness, brittle bones , and in some cases, sterility. “This is a delay. This is full reversible,” Diamond claimed, despite some studies showing that they are not reversible. Peppermint is the latest celebrity to insert themselves in the debate around the Supreme Court case. Others include Hollywood stars Annette Bening and Elliot Page , formerly Ellen Page. The Supreme Court is expected to release its decision on the Tennessee case some time in 2025. Follow David Ng on Twitter @HeyItsDavidNg . Have a tip? Contact me at dng@breitbart.com

The Bank of Japan is staying guarded on the timing of the next rate hike with December hardly a done deal given soft consumption, its governor’s cautious decision-making style and anxiety over U.S. economic policy in a second Trump presidency. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda signalled that December will be a live meeting in an interview with the Nikkei newspaper last week, when he said another rate hike was approaching. But he also warned of U.S. economic uncertainties and gave no clear sign the BOJ would indeed hike this month, causing market expectations of a move to fluctuate between December and January. Having steered Japan through a decade of ultra-easy monetary policy, the BOJ is wary of moving too fast in removing accommodative conditions, especially after a July rate hike caught markets by surprise and triggered a sharp bout of volatility in currencies, bonds and stocks. Heightened geopolitical tensions and uncertainty over U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s policies are also encouraging global policymakers, including in Japan, to approach their tasks with circumspection. After rising to around 60% following last week’s release of solid inflation data, market bets of a December hike slid below 40% on Wednesday as fresh doubts emerged from media reports suggesting the BOJ will take a more cautious stance. Adding to the market confusion, dovish BOJ board member Toyoaki Nakamura didn’t rule out a December hike, saying the timing would be data dependent. While the BOJ has its eyes set on hiking rates by around March, it likely wants to leave itself a free hand on the exact timing, say three sources familiar with its thinking. “What’s clear is that December will be live, as with any other meeting in coming months,” said one of the sources. “But from there, it’s really a judgement call by the board,” the source said, a view echoed by two more sources. People who know Ueda, an economics professor-turned governor, also point to his decision-making style, which is to wait until the last minute assessing data in reaching a conclusion. “He works with an academic mindset, which is to look thoroughly at each data before deciding,” one of them said on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to speak publicly. “It’s unlikely he would drop signals about something he hasn’t decided yet.” After the Dec. 18-19 meeting, the BOJ holds a rate review on Jan. 23-24 and March 18-19. There is growing conviction within the BOJ that wages will keep rising and prod firms to hike prices – meeting a key prerequisite for another rate hike, the sources said. Regular pay has been rising at an annual pace of around 2.5-3%. Japan’s largest labour union group has said it will seek wage hikes of at least 5% in 2025, near this year’s hefty gains. Inflation remains above the BOJ’s 2% target for well over two years with rising labour costs pushing up services prices. But other data paint a less rosy picture. Household spending fell in October for the third straight month as rising living costs pinched consumers. Factory output remains flat and exports to the United States, Japan’s largest export market, slumped in October on weak auto shipments. While firms ramped up capital expenditure in July-September, recurring profits fell 3.3% from year-before levels on intensifying competition overseas, data showed. The BOJ has already whittled down stimulus twice this year, ending negative interest rates in March and raising short-term borrowing costs to 0.25% in July. Ueda has repeatedly said the BOJ will keep hiking rates if the economy and prices move in line with its forecast, leading many analysts to project another hike by March. With the BOJ making clear that it will be taking a data-dependent approach in setting policy, each indicator leading up to the December meeting will likely draw strong market attention. Revised third-quarter gross domestic product data is due on Monday, followed by the BOJ’s quarterly “tankan” business survey on Dec. 13. Threats of higher tariffs by Trump have stoked fresh uncertainty about the global outlook – a factor Ueda said warranted scrutiny in his interview with Nikkei. With the yen off a three-decade trough near 162 hit in July and inflation showing little sign of overshooting, the BOJ is under less pressure to hike immediately, some analysts say. “I don’t see the BOJ as in a huge rush, as long as it can hike by March,” said veteran BOJ watcher Mari Iwashita, who is chief market economist at Daiwa Securities. “For the BOJ, it’s just a question of choosing the most optimal timing among the three meetings.” Source: Reuters (Reporting by Leika Kihara, Editing by Shri Navaratnam)
