Community Action Programs Cayuga/Seneca serves 7,880 individuals annually through over 40 programs designed to alleviate hunger and homelessness, help domestic violence victims, prepare individuals for the workforce, provide early childhood development, improve health outcomes, strengthen families and mitigate crisis. Our ability to provide hope and sustainable opportunities through lifechanging programming is something we are truly grateful for. Through federal, state and local grants we are able to craft and administer programs to holistically address the conditions of poverty locally and build sustainable pathways to economic security for those facing often unjust, heartbreaking inequities. This alone can have a profound impact on the people we serve, but without you, our community, none of this would be possible. The acts of kindness, the monetary donations, physical donations, food donations and the gifts of time sustain our agency, inspire our staff and meaningfully change lives. CAP is proud to take part in the global generosity movement, Giving Tuesday, on Dec. 3 as we work to meet the emergent end of year needs. Giving Tuesday is an inclusive community of millions of givers, with an activity in every country on every continent. It celebrates and uplifts grassroots generosity as a universally held value. Something we are very familiar with at CAP. This year, we will be seeking donations to our food pantry and the Head Start Backpack Program, a weekend program that alleviates child hunger for 230 children enrolled in Head Start. In Cayuga County, 19.6% of adults and 17.4% of children face food insecurity. As funding has stayed stagnant, the need continues to increase. On average, CAP’s food pantry serves 1,223 individuals each month. Food insecurity often becomes more pronounced during the holiday season. While many people celebrate with big holiday meals, others struggle to access basic food needs. This time of year can bring additional financial and emotional burdens that can include heating bills, holiday expenses and child care during school breaks. Families living paycheck to paycheck often have to make impossible choices between food and other essential needs. For children who rely on school meals, the holidays mean losing access to a critical source of nutrition. The gap places additional strain on already struggling families and increases the demand for assistance. Bags of food at CAP Cayuga/Seneca's food pantry. CAP typically sees a surge in demand during the holidays, with November being the busiest month of the year for the food pantry. Over the last two years, we have seen an 82% increase in need in November as families seek help to provide special meals and meet everyday needs. This increase poses challenges to our pantry in keeping the shelves stocked due to stagnant funding, rising food costs and disruptions in the supply chain. Every year, with more families reaching out for help, it can be a heartbreaking time for those who are forced to make impossible choices, but it’s also a time when we see our community come together to make a difference. Monetary donations can help us purchase more healthy, nutritious food from local farmers and food in bulk through the Food Bank of Central New York. By volunteering, your gift of time can have a lifechanging impact, even an hour a week or month, by delivering food through our mobile pantry, helping pack food boxes or unloading our trucks and stocking shelves in our pantry and warehouse. Donations of nonperishable items, including canned proteins, low-sugar cereal, spaghetti sauce, canned soups, stews, fruit and 100% juice, can help dramatically reduce the number of hungry families. Monetary contributions will also allow us to fill the Head Start backpacks with additional food over the two-week holiday break. A refrigerator full of food at CAP Cayuga/Seneca's food pantry. Every day, we meet people who are living in very different circumstances who have the courage to seek help or give help, and allow us to be part of their story. Each act of generosity is a chance to connect, serve and uplift one another.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Biden says Assad government's fall in Syria is a 'fundamental act of justice,' but a 'moment of risk and uncertainty.'Sports, pop culture, and the weather: What's next for betting markets after exploding in popularity during the 2024 electionGlobal Construction Elastomers Market Set For 8.9% Growth, Reaching $8.89 Billion By 2028
Middle East latest: Israel bombs Lebanon's capital as Netanyahu considers a ceasefire with HezbollahWASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden said Sunday that the sudden collapse of the Syrian government under Bashar Assad is a "fundamental act of justice" after decades of repression, but it was "a moment of risk and uncertainty" for the Mideast. Biden spoke at the White House hours after after rebel groups completed a takeover of the country after more than a dozen years of violent civil war and decades of leadership by Assad and his family. Biden said the United States was unsure of Assad's whereabouts, but was monitoring reports he was seeking refuge in Moscow. The outgoing Biden administration and President-elect Donald Trump were working to make sense of new threats and opportunities across the Middle East. Biden credited action by the U.S. and its allies for weakening Syria's backers - Russia, Iran and Hezbollah. He said "for the first time" that they could no longer defend Assad's grip on power. "Our approach has shifted the balance of power in the Middle East," Biden said, after a meeting with his national security team at the White House. Trump said Sunday that Assad had fled his country, which his family had ruled for decades, because close ally Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, "was not interested in protecting him any longer." Those comments on Trump's social media platform came a day after he used another post to decry the possibility of the U.S. intervening militarily in Syria to aid the rebels, declaring, "THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT." The Biden administration had no intention of intervening, according to President Joe Biden's national security adviser. The U.S has about 900 troops in Syria, including forces working with Kurdish allies in the opposition-held northeast to prevent any resurgence of the Islamic State group. Biden said he intended those for troops to remain, adding that U.S. forces on Sunday conducted "dozens" of what he called "precision air strikes" on Islamic State camps and operations in Syria. The Syrian opposition that brought down Assad is led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. The Biden administration has designated the group as a terrorist organization and says it has links to al-Qaida, although Hayat Tahrir al-Sham says it has since broken ties with al-Qaida. "We will remain vigilant," Biden said. "Make no mistake, some of the rebel groups that took down Assad have their own grim record of terrorism and human rights abuses." He added that the groups are "saying the right things now." "But as they take on greater responsibility, we will assess not just their words, but their actions," Biden said. Assad's fall adds to an already tense situation throughout much of region on many fronts, including Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza and its fragile cease-fire with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Trump, who takes office Jan. 20, 2025, made a connection between the upheaval in Syria and Russia's war in Ukraine, noting that Assad's allies in Moscow, as well as in Iran, the main sponsor of Hamas and Hezbollah, "are in a weakened state right now." Vice President-elect JD Vance, a veteran of the U.S.-led war in Iraq, wrote on own social media Sunday to express skepticism about the insurgents. "Many of 'the rebels' are a literal offshoot of ISIS. One can hope they've moderated. Time will tell," he said, using another acronym for the group. Trump has suggested that Assad's ouster can advance the prospects for an end to fighting in Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia in February 2022. Trump wrote that Putin's government "lost all interest in Syria because of Ukraine" and the Republican called for an immediate cease-fire, a day after meeting in Paris with the French and Ukrainian leaders. Daniel B. Shapiro, a deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East, said the American military presence will continue in eastern Syria but was "solely to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS and has nothing to do with other aspects of this conflict." "We call on all parties in Syria to protect civilians, particularly those from Syria's minority communities to respect international military norms and to work to achieve a resolution to include the political settlement," Shapiro said. "Multiple actors in this conflict have a terrible track record to include Assad's horrific crimes, Russia's indiscriminate aerial bomb bombardment, Iranian-back militia involvement and the atrocities of ISIS," he added. Shapiro, however, was careful not to directly say Assad had been deposed by the insurgents. "If confirmed, no one should shed any tears over the Assad regime," he said. As they pushed toward the Syrian capital of Damascus, the opposition freed political detainees from government prisons. The family of missing U.S. journalist Austin Tice renewed calls to find him. "To everyone in Syria that hears this, please remind people that we're waiting for Austin," Tice's mother, Debra, said in comments that hostage advocacy groups spread on social media. "We know that when he comes out, he's going to be fairly dazed & he's going to need lots of care & direction. Direct him to his family please!" Tice disappeared in 2012 outside Damascus, amid intensification of what became a civil war stretching more than a decade. We've remained committed to returning him to his family," Biden said at the White House. "We believe he's alive, we think we can get him back but we have no direct evidence to that yet. And Assad should be held accountable." The president added: "We have to identify where he is." ___ Associated Press writer Jon Gambrell in Manama, Bahrain, and AP White House Correspondent Zeke Miller contributed to this report.

RWA Giant Rexas Finance Concludes Presale Stage 6 Early with Huge Demand, $12200000 RaisedThe Off-Broadway production of “ The Merchant of Venice ” opened Off-Broadway on November 25th at the Classic Stage Company in Manhattan. The cast features Richard Topol, Alexandra Silber, Gus Birney, José Espinosa, Tess Goldwyn, Stephen Ochsner, T.R. Knight, Delilah Napier, Noah Pacht, and Elan Zafir. It is based on the Shakespearean play of the same name, which has always been known as one William Shakespeare’s most problematic plays. The synopsis is: This adaptation of “The Merchant of Venice” was directed by Ukrainian-born, Jewish theater artist Igor Golyak. It starts off as a while ride, which takes a startling and tragic turn, leaving the audience shocked and unable to stop the inevitable and unbearable consequences. Richard Topol and T.R. Knight deliver commanding lead, dialogue-heavy performances as Shylock and Antonio respectively. José Espinosa is charming and steals every scene he is in as Bassanio, where the viewer can recall Philip Bruenn in “Studio City” meets Kyle Fragnoli . Alexandra Silber is bubbly and stunning as Portia. The puppetry, bubble machines, Batman masks, props, and contemporary songs are an additional treat to the show. This concept deals with superheroes and their adversaries battling it out to protect good in the face of evil. The question is whether or not justice and love will prevail. The actors and the audience will try to find answers to these intriguing questions. Several of the anti-Semitic undertones might anger some viewers, but it intriguing to watch Igor Golyak distinct re-imagined interpretation of this play. The show runs at the Classic Stage Company in New York City until December 22nd. Overall, “The Merchant of Venice” is dark, odd, quirky, sometimes outrageous and bizarre, but entertaining nonetheless. The actors do a fine job with the material that they are given, although several parts could have been developed more, while other parts could have eliminated entirely and they wouldn’t have made any difference. This upbeat show is recommended for fans of Shakespeare, especially those that are fond of “The Merchant of Venice.” This reimagined version garners a B- rating.

There's arguably no event Wall Street awaited more in 2024 than Election Day. While certain aspects of the legislative process have nothing to do with what goes on in corporate America, the candidates voters elect ultimately shape the fiscal policy that affects businesses and impacts Wall Street. In the late-evening hours of Nov. 5, the Associated Press (AP) was able to determine that Republicans had flipped enough seats in the Senate to reclaim a majority in the upper house of Congress . When the votes were tallied, Republicans came away from with a 53-to-47-seat majority. Just hours after the Senate had been called for the GOP, AP had enough evidence from swing states to declare former President Donald Trump as the new president-elect . Trump eventually secured 312 electoral votes to Democratic Party presidential nominee Kamala Harris' 226. Lastly, eight days after polls closed, on Nov. 13, AP determined that Republicans had won enough seats in the House of Representatives to maintain their majority . Though there are still three seats left to be called at the time of this writing on Nov. 21, the GOP holds a 219 to 213 majority in Congress' lower house. The GOP takes control: Here's what we know, as of now Although Wall Street and investors finally have some clarity on what the incoming administration will look like, there are still far more questions than answers when it comes to the U.S. economy and stock market. Perhaps the most highlighted of all concerns with Trump back in the Oval Office is what might happen with foreign trade. During his campaign, Trump lobbied for a whopping 60% tariff on Chinese goods imported into the U.S. , with a potential tariff of up to 20% on all other countries. On paper, tariffs are designed to make American goods more price-competitive, as well as encourage domestic production. However, there's the potential for trade wars to develop that result in other countries, including America's allies, imposing import tariffs of their own. Eventually, it might lead to higher costs for businesses and consumers. Another big question that'll need to be answered is how the unified Republican government plans to tackle our country's rapidly rising national debt. With the exception of 1998 through 2001, the federal government has spent more than it's brought in every year since 1970. The magnitude of these federal deficits has noticeably grown in recent years. With the GOP traditionally favoring lower personal and corporate income tax rates, it's not yet clear if we'll see meaningful improvement in the federal deficit in the years to come. Perhaps the one thing we do know is that any chatter about increasing the corporate income tax rate, which had been proposed by Harris during her campaign , is now firmly off the table. Additionally, individual income tax rate cuts, which were put into place with Trump's flagship Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, are going to sunset on Dec. 31, 2025. A GOP-led federal government could make it easier to extend these cuts, or potentially make them permanent. Here's what happens to stocks when Republicans have a unified government But the biggest question of all, at least for the investing community, is: What does a Republican-led government mean for stocks? Statistically, the answer should give investors reason to be hopeful. Recently, online education platform Retirement Researcher released a report ("Are Republicans or Democrats Better for the Stock Market?") that analyzed the performance of the benchmark S&P 500 ( ^GSPC 0.35% ) under a variety of political scenarios over a span of nearly a century (1926 through 2023). During the 98 years Retirement Researcher examined, the least frequent of all situations was a Republican unified government. But during the 13 years this occurred, the S&P 500 averaged a scorching-hot annual return of 14.52% . On a compound basis, a return of this magnitude can double an investor's money every five years. While this data presents plenty of reason for optimism on Wall Street, it's only telling half the story . The truth is that all of the arrangements studied by Retirement Researcher produced hearty average annual returns in the S&P 500 since 1926: Unified Republican : 14.52% average annual return over 13 years. Unified Democrat : 14.01% average annual return over 36 years. Divided with Republican president : 7.33% average annual return over 34 years. Divided with Democratic president : 16.63% average annual return over 15 years. No matter what happened on Election Day, investors were set up for success. ^SPX data by YCharts . But we can take this one step further for patient investors with a long-term mindset. Every year, the analysts at Crestmont Research update a published data set that examines the rolling 20-year total returns, including dividends, of the broad-based S&P 500 dating back to 1900. Even though the S&P didn't exist until 1923, researchers were able to track its components in other indexes, allowing for back-testing to the start of the 20th century. This yielded 105 rolling 20-year periods of performance data (1919 through 2023). What Crestmont found was that all 105 rolling 20-year periods produced a positive annualized total return . In plain English, if you had, hypothetically, purchased an S&P 500 tracking index at any point since 1900 and held that position for 20 years, you would have made money every single time. Regardless of whether a depression or other shock event occurred, a 20-year holding period in an S&P 500-tracking index would have generated a positive annualized return 100% of the time. Additionally, more than 50 of these rolling 20-year periods produced an annualized total return of at least 9%, which would double investor's money every eight years. This is to say that investors didn't just scrape out a gain now and then. More often than not, being patient, regardless of which political party was in charge on Capitol Hill, led to game-changing returns . Even with questions left to answer for the incoming administration, long-term investors are well positioned for success.
Brazil’s Bolsonaro planned and participated in coup plot, police report allegesRep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., joins 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss Democrats' outrage over the Teamsters' refusal to endorse VP Kamala Harris and former President Trump's bid for New York. NBC's digital employee union projected scathing messages onto 30 Rock Wednesday night, blasting company leadership for dragging its feet on a contract. NBC Digital NewsGuild, a collective bargaining unit of the NewsGuild of New York, called out NBC News executives for allegedly "unlawful behavior" by lighting up "breaking news" messages on the company's flagship building in midtown Manhattan, 30 Rock. The NBC Digital NewsGuild represents reporters, editors, designers, video journalists, animators, social media strategists and editorial staff of NBC News Digital, who have been negotiating its first contract since the group unionized in 2019. The projections specifically targeted NBCUniversal News Group Chairman Cesar Conde, as well as NBC News Editorial President Rebecca Blumenstein, Executive Vice President of Programming Janelle Rodriguez, Executive Vice President of News Catherine Kim and Executive Vice President of TODAY and Lifestyle Libby Leist for engaging in tactics that they say have violated labor laws, including layoffs of more than 20 union journalists without bargaining and retaliating against union members for taking part in protected activity.

NBC News executives are obsessed with shareholder value, but they’re disrespecting the workers that create that value in the first place. We deserve a fair contract, and we're not backing down from this fight until we get one," he added. In 2021, the National Labor Relations Board found that NBC had unlawfully withheld more than $350,000 in raises from union journalists, according to a press release shared with Fox News Digital.
