lucki x With starting linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. on injured reserve, working his way back from a hamstring injury, the Minnesota Vikings have given more reps to Kamu Grugier-Hill and rookie Dallas Turner in recent weeks to help pick up the slack. The Vikings also signed former first-round pick Jamin Davis on Nov. 26 to a minimum contract to help bolster the depth chart. Matt Holder of Bleacher Report recently predicted that GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah wasn't done sharpening the edges of his roster entering the season’s stretch run. In his NFC scouting reports for Week 14, Holder urged Adofo-Mensah and the Vikings to kick the tires on former three-time All-Pro linebacker Shaquille Leonard, a former $98.5 million, four-time All-Pro who remains a free agent. Here was Holder’s take on the potential move: “While the Vikings signed Jamin Davis to help fill in for Ivan Pace Jr., who was recently placed on injured reserve, it couldn't hurt to bring in Leonard as another option. The 29-year-old has a better track record than Davis and was solid against the run last year, racking up 88 total tackles in 14 games for two different teams.” During the 2023 season, Leonard played nine games for the Indianapolis Colts — the team that signed him to what was then one of the richest contracts in NFL history — and five games for the Philadelphia Eagles . He started three games for Philly last season due to injuries, and finished with 23 tackles and a sack. The fact that Philly opted to sign Devin White in free agency, only to cut White before he played a single regular season game, over Leonard is somewhat of a red flag. He’s been contemplating an uncertain future in the NFL, and landing in a place like Minnesota for a run at the Super Bowl could save what once looked like a legendary pro career. Would adding Shaquille Leonard bolster Minnesota’s Super Bowl hopes? Not in 2024. It would be one thing if Leonard spent time with another team this season. Instead, he’s been away from the NFL, spending the fall coaching a high school football team out in Georgia. Injuries unfortunately derailed Leonard’s career. He was unable to return to peak form following a serious back injury that required multiple surgeries, which is why the Colts waived him in the first place. Kicking the tires on Leonard feels more like a desperation move than a prudent one, and the Vikings aren’t close to that point with five games remaining in the regular season.

Emanuel Wallace, 27, from east London, is better known as Big Manny by his 1.9 million followers on TikTok, where he shares videos explaining various science experiments from his back garden while using Jamaican Patois phrases and London slang. In early December, Mr Wallace won the Education Creator of the Year award at the TikTok Awards ceremony, which he said is a “symbol that anything that you put your mind to you can achieve”. The content creator began making videos during the coronavirus pandemic when schools turned to online learning but has since expanded his teaching from videos to paper after releasing his debut book Science Is Lit in August. He believes his “unconventional” teaching methods help to make his content relatable for younger audiences by using slang deriving from his Jamaican and British heritage. “The language that I use, it’s a combination between Jamaican Patois and London slang because I have Jamaican heritage,” the TikToker, who holds a bachelors and masters degree in biomedical science, told the PA news agency. “That’s why in my videos sometimes I might say things like ‘Wagwan’ or ‘you dun know’. I just want to connect with the young people more, so I speak in the same way that they speak. “The words that I use, the way that I deliver the lesson as well, I would say that my method of teaching is quite unconventional. I speak in a way that is quite conversational.” Examples of his videos include lithium batteries catching fire after being sandwiched inside a raw chicken breast, as well as mixing gold with gallium to create blue gold, earning millions of views. Mr Wallace hopes his content will help make the science industry more diverse, saying “the scientists that I was taught about, none of them look like me”. “Now me being a scientist is showing young people that they can become one as well, regardless of the background that they come from, the upbringing that they’ve had,” he said. “I just want to make it seem more attainable and possible for them because if I can do it, and I come from the same place as you, there’s no reason why you can’t do it as well.” The TikToker has seen a shift in more young people turning to the app as a learning resource and feels short-form videos will soon become a part of the national curriculum in schools. “I’m seeing (young people) using that a lot more – social media as a resource for education – and I feel like in the future, it’s going to become more and more popular as well,” he said. “I get a lot of comments from students saying that my teacher showed my video in the classroom as a resource, so I feel like these short form videos are going to be integrated within the national curriculum at some point in the near future.” He also uses his platform to raise awareness of different social issues, which he said is “extremely important”. One of his videos highlighted an anti-knife campaign backed by actor Idris Elba, which earned more than 39 million views, while his clip about the banning of disposable vapes was viewed more than 4.6 million times. He said there is some pressure being a teacher with a large following online but hopes he can be a role model for young people. “I’m aware that I am in the public eye and there’s a lot of young people watching me,” he said. “Young people can be impressionable, so I make sure that I conduct myself appropriately, so that I can be a role model. “I always have the same message for young people, specifically. I tell them to stay curious. Always ask questions and look a little bit deeper into things.” His plans for 2025 include publishing a second Science Is Lit book and expanding his teaching to television where he soon hopes to create his own science show.16 Days of Activism: Ogun commits to safety for women, girls

The pressure to perform at the highest level, both for club and country, has undoubtedly taken its toll.

VANCOUVER (AP) — Un sospechoso apuñaló a varias personas en la ciudad canadiense de Vancouver el miércoles y fue baleado por agentes de la policía, informaron las autoridades. De momento no se proporcionaron detalles sobre el estado de salud del sospechoso ni de las víctimas del apuñalamiento.

Un video obtenido por The Canadian Press muestra a la policía apuntar con sus armas por encima del mostrador de una tienda de conveniencia y disparar al menos 10 veces. En el video se escucha a la policía gritar “muévanse” mientras varios agentes apuntan sus armas dentro de la tienda 7-Eleven.
