Jessica Chastain left close to tears on stage as she shares rare childhood detailsSimply the baste! A beloved Thanksgiving tradition that started when an Arizona grandma accidentally invited a local teen to her holiday dinner in 2016 will reunite the former strangers for the ninth year in a row. Jamal Hinton, 25, announced Monday he will host Thanksgiving dinner at his aunt’s home in Phoenix this year, with Wanda Dench, 67, making the two-hour trek from Prescott Valley to continue their serendipitous holiday custom. “Excited to announce that I’m hosting Thanksgiving this year for Wanda and I!” Hinton wrote in a post on X , with a collage of photos of the pair from over the years. “Looking forward to a day filled with good food, great company, and lasting memories. Year 9 coming soon.” The joyous news comes one month after Dench revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in a message shared on Hinton’s social media. Dench, who recently completed chemotherapy treatments and will begin radiation therapy next month, said she is determined to spend the holidays with her new-found family, The Arizona Republic reported. “I feel so blessed to have him in my life,” Dench told the outlet. “He’s changed my life for the good, and so we’re going to make it work.” The unlikely bond between the duo began in 2016 when Dench sent a text message to a phone number that was previously used by her grandson. “Thanksgiving dinner is at my house,” Dench said in the message, accompanied by the date and time of the annual dinner. “Let me know if you’re coming. Hope to see you there.” Instead, Hinton, then 17, received the random text and was confused, asking for photo proof of the woman who claimed to be his grandmother. Dench obliged and sent Hinton a photo of herself at work, to which the Arizona teen sent a photo of himself. “You not my grandma,” Hinton responded alongside his photo. “Can I still get a plate though?” “Of course you can. That’s what grandmas do ... feed everyone,” Dench replied in the now viral exchange. Hinton and Dench have since celebrated every Thanksgiving together in some form, taking a photo after the heartwarming meal and sharing to social media. The pair have also come together in times of need, including when Dench lost her husband, Lonnie, to COVID-19 in April 2020. The friends are also business partners in BlackMP, a mineral water company, with their unique story soon to be released on Netflix in a film titled, “The Thanksgiving Text.” Despite life’s ups and downs, their friendship and moving tradition has offered each of them a different outlook on life. “I have a different appreciation now about life, and for me, it’s about being with the people that I love,” Dench told the local outlet. Hinton added, “You really never know when (will be) the last time you have a dinner with someone, or be able to talk to someone. I’d always suggested seeing your loved ones.”Dolby Laboratories SVP John Couling sells $4.57 million in stock

NoneRemoving the Bible from classrooms across the country has led to devastating effects like increases in crime and teen pregnancy, according to lobbyist Blaine Conzatti. Conzatti, president of the Christian nonprofit Idaho Family Policy Center , told the Times-News Tuesday that he believes it's time to bring the Bible back. He said he has drafted a bill for the 2025 Idaho Legislative session that would create a legal requirement for public schools to ensure that 20 Bible verses be read in classrooms every morning. According to tax forms, the center is a Boise-based group that advances the lordship of Christ in the public square and trains statesmen to advocate for Judeo-Christian values. "It is our belief that our children and our communities are starved for the biblical principles that once made our society the greatest in the world," Conzatti said. "That's why we're arguing that it's critical for the Idaho state Legislature to take this historic opportunity and bring the Bible back into the classroom." The Bible is read aloud Nov. 25, 2013, at the Utah Capitol in Salt Lake City. He said the Bible was read in Idaho classrooms for over 100 years, ending in 1964. He said the draft legislation is similar to an Idaho law passed in 1925, but with significant updates to ensure it passes modern constitutional muster. The new bill includes conscience protections for teachers and students who do not want to participate, he said. Conzatti said he is not concerned about how students who practice other religions would feel if the Bible was read every day. He said the draft legislation includes no assignments, discussion or instruction of the Bible. "We are not expecting anyone to affirm the Christian religion," he said. He added that he does not believe the legislation would open the door for reading other holy texts, like the Quran, as there is not a history and tradition of reading the Quran in this country. To back up his constitutional argument, Conzatti said he has seen a shift recently in federal judiciary establishment clause jurisprudence. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states Congress shall make no law regarding the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free practice thereof. Conzatti said he truly believes school sponsored Bible reading is constitutional and he said he is not trying to create a test case for the U.S. Supreme Court. "It took place in Idaho for around 100 years until a federal court and an activist judge invalidated the practice," Conzatti said. Local thoughts The Times-News spoke with four state legislators and one Twin Falls pastor to hear their thoughts on requiring the Bible in the classroom and using public funds for private schools. Sen. Ron Taylor (D-Hailey) will be the only Democratic legislator from the Magic Valley and the only legislator the Times-News spoke with who referenced the U.S. Constitution. He said the state is constitutionally bound to require free and fair education to everyone, but not bound to provide religious doctrine. "Our Constitution has a very clear delineation of church and state," Taylor said. Taylor said he has voted against public funds for private schools before and he will do it again. He expressed clear opposition to the Idaho Family Policy Center's proposal. "We should not be reading the Bible in our public schools," Taylor said. Taylor said the Bible proposal is a distraction. He said he wants to support tax relief and protect the agriculture industry from the looming threat of mass deportation under the incoming Trump administration. Representative-elect Mike Pohanka (R-Jerome) said he went to private school and read the Bible every day. He said decisions on public school teachers reading the Bible in schools should be left up to local school boards. "If they do that's fine, if they don't that's up to them," Pohanka said. "I think it just needs to be at the local level." Rep. Lance Clow (R-Twin Falls), the longest serving legislator in the Magic Valley, said he expects several bills regarding school choice and public funding for religious schools in the coming session. He did not comment on the Bible proposal. "Until we're in the Legislature, you don't see anything," Clow said. "Everything's all hypothetical at this point." On school choice, he said he thinks the best path forward is a compromise that protects public schools. Clow presented HB 289 in 2023 that would have allowed families to use a portion of public funds for tuition at private schools. The bill did not make it out of the education committee. "I believe that eventually at some point we need to make some form of a compromise to deal with that question," Clow said. "Just a yes or no is not a simple answer." The Twin Falls Republican Central Committee earlier this month narrowly passed a resolution in opposition to diverting public to private, religious or homeschools, including any form of vouchers, tax credits or educational savings accounts. Twin Falls County GOP Central Committee approved two resolutions to be forwarded to the Idaho GOP for consideration at its January meeting. Rep. Douglas Pickett (R-Oakley) said he hasn't heard about any proposals to require public schools to read the Bible and he doesn't have a comment on his stance. "I think we need to really see what they are proposing before we make any judgments on that," Pickett said. He said he expects school choice will be one of the biggest issues in the coming session and that he thinks there are situations where using public funds for private schools is justified. Money Conzatti is both president of the Idaho Family Policy Center and director of the ID Family PAC, an organization with no website, but he told the Times-News that there is no legal or official relationship between the two groups. Both share the same street address, at 1116 S Vista Ave in Boise, but the Center has an office in suite 227 and the PAC has a P.O. box at that address. In another connection between the two groups, Chad Israel Waitman is both a current board member for the Center and a former treasurer for the PAC. The PAC is led by chair Christian Welp, who is also a registered lobbyist for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Boise. Of the 12 state legislators representing the Magic Valley, five received contributions from ID Family PAC during the 2024 campaign: Sen. Glenneda Zuiderveld (R-Twin Falls), Sen. Kelly Anthon (R-Burley), Representative-elect Joshua Kohl (R-Twin Falls), Steve Miller (R-Fairfield) and Pickett. Of those five, only Pickett returned phone calls from the Times-News . Of the five, ID Family PAC spent the most money to support Kohl. His campaign received a contribution of $1,000 from the PAC as well as $8,653 in independent expenditures. Magic Valley Liberty Alliance PAC also endorsed Kohl. Zuiderveld's campaign spent $600 in October for an event at The River Christian Fellowship during the 2024 election season. Scott Spencer, assistant pastor at the church, told the Times-News on Friday that the U.S. was founded on Christian principles, like treating other people well and being nice. He said he thinks it would be good for teachers to read the Bible in schools, as kids today have no compass and no sense of right and wrong. "The biblical principles are true whether or not you're actually reading the scripture or not, about treating other people well, about helping other people," Spencer said. A former teacher himself, Spencer said he used to teach from a book that taught morals without specific biblical references, but that book has since been replaced with one that teaches nothing but a progressive, leftist, woke agenda. "What we've had for the last four years with the whole woke agenda," Spencer said. "That's being pushed way harder than any of the Christian principles that made our country great." Spencer echoed a false claim from President-elect Donald Trump. It is illegal in all 50 states to kill a child after live birth. Spencer said, as a country, we are at the point where a woman can have a live baby and then kill that baby after it is born. "The mom can say, 'I don't want the kid,' and they can kill it," Spencer said. "In some states that's legal. That's horrific to me." Spencer also expressed disdain for transgender people. "Someone can say, 'I'm a girl,'" Spencer said. "No you're not." The Idaho Family Policy Center circulated a 2024 candidate questionnaire that includes questions about protecting biological females in bathrooms, removing exceptions for abortion in the case of rape or incest, prohibiting drag shows, protecting traditional marriage between a man and woman and holding teachers accountable for teaching critical race theory. None of the legislators the Times-News spoke with said they had filled out the questionnaire. Conzatti said the U.S. Supreme Court has established that the U.S. is a Christian nation and that legislators need to reflect that sentiment. "We are a Christian ministry and believe that government officials are God's ministers and they are expected to uphold God's standards of justice," Conzatti said. "They are expected to govern according to biblical principles." Sean Dolan writes about education and politics for the Times-News .

HARARE – Former Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) legislator Amos Chibaya has finally been granted US$500 bail by the High Court. In his ruling, Justice Gibson Mandaza ordered the former Mkoba MP to deposit US$500 with the Clerk of Court at the Harare Magistrates’ Court and to report once every fortnight at CID law and order division in Harare. Chibaya was also ordered to continue residing at his usual residential address and not to interfere with witnesses. The firebrand politician is accused of inciting fellow CCC activists into committing violence as he addressed them outside the Harare Magistrates’ Court where convicted party faction leader Jameson Timba and dozens more had been denied bail in June this year. His party insists Chibaya should never have been arrested in the first place arguing he did not commit any offence at all. “We won’t celebrate persecution and suppression of freedom of association. He shouldn’t have been arrested in the first place. “Zimbabwe is not yet free under the current regime. “We continue to demand the release of all political prisoners,” said CCC in a statement. Arrested many times for his fearless activism, Chibaya was recently fined US$50 for skipping court in another criminal case he is facing. According to the state, Chibaya was among a group of CCC activists who staged demonstrations at the court building in June demanding the release of 77 party activists who had been denied bail. It is further alleged Chibaya then convened a meeting at the entrance of the court building where party politicians Agency Gumbo and Ostallos Gift Siziba were among the speakers. During the meeting, Chibaya allegedly incited violence through saying, “Chi regime chinotya vanhu, chikaona vanhu chinobvunda, Havana kuhwina maelections, togona kufuma tavakutonga, Zimbabwe haisi yeZanu PF, Zimbabwe is not a Mnangagwa Dynasty zvekumbunyikidza vanhu zvinofanira kupera.” Loosely translated, Chibaya allegedly talked down the Zanu PF led government headed by President Mnangagwa whom he accused of stealing elections and that it could find itself out of power the next day in place of the main opposition. He allegedly declared it was time the state stopped trampling on citizens’ freedoms. It is further alleged Chibaya invited citizens to come in large numbers to demand the release of their colleagues. “As a result of the incitement, some people at the meeting promised Chibaya to take the prisoners out by force by saying in vernacular ‘tichavatora Nechisimba, eheeee’”.Photographer catches impressive glimpse of Starliner docked to ISS

Who Are They and What Now?PARIS (AP) — Howling winds couldn’t stop Notre Dame Cathedral ’s heart from beating again. With three resounding knocks on its doors by Paris Archbishop Laurent Ulrich, wielding a specially designed crosier carved from fire-scorched beams, the monument roared back to life Saturday evening. For the first time since a devastating blaze nearly destroyed it in 2019, the towering Gothic masterpiece reopened for worship, its rebirth marked by song, prayer, and awe beneath its soaring arches. The ceremony, initially planned to begin on the forecourt, was moved entirely inside due to unusually fierce December winds sweeping across the Île de la Cité, flanked by the River Seine. Yet the occasion lost none of its splendor. Inside the luminous nave, choirs sang psalms, and the cathedral’s mighty organ, silent for nearly five years, thundered to life in a triumphant interplay of melodies. The restoration, a spectacular achievement in just five years for a structure that took nearly two centuries to build, is seen as a moment of triumph for French President Emmanuel Macron, who championed the ambitious timeline — and a welcome respite from his domestic political woes . The evening’s celebration, attended by 1,500 dignitaries, including President-elect Donald Trump, US first lady Jill Biden, Britain’s Prince William, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, underscored Notre Dame’s enduring role as both a spiritual and cultural beacon. Observers see the event as Macron's, and his intention to pivot it into a fully fledged diplomatic gathering, while highlighting France’s ability to unite on the global stage despite internal political crises. As the cathedral’s largest bell, the 13-ton Emmanuel — which was not named after the French leader — tolled into the Paris night, signaling the start of the ceremony, the crowd inside Notre Dame fell into an expectant hush. Emmanuel, a legacy of King Louis XIV, had rung through centuries of French history, and its peal now resonated as a call to witness another epochal moment. Outside the cathedral’s monumental doors, Ulrich raised his fire-scarred crosier. “Brothers and sisters, let us enter now into Notre Dame,” he declared. “It is she who accompanies us on our path to peace.” With the congregation watching in silence and the world looking on, Ulrich struck the floodlit doors, the base of his crosier reverberating against the wood. Inside, the choir answered with soaring hymns, their voices filling the nave. Illuminations on the cathedral facade heightened the drama. On the final strike, the heavy doors swung open, revealing the glowing interior of restored blond Lutetian limestone. Adding to the ceremony’s visual splendor, Ulrich and the clergy wore vibrant liturgical garments designed by French fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. Known for his signature pop-art aesthetic, Castelbajac created 2,000 colorful pieces for 700 celebrants, blending modern elements with medieval touches. Flooded with light and song, the cathedral came alive in a moment of breathtaking spectacle. What had been a silent, soot-blackened ruin five years ago now blazed with renewed vitality, marking the culmination of a nearly $1 billion global effort to resurrect it. Speaking inside the cathedral, Macron expressed “gratitude” Saturday to those who saved, helped, and rebuilt Notre Dame, his voice reverberating through the nave. “I stand before you ... to express the gratitude of the French nation,” he said, before voices flooded the space with song, harmonies not heard in over five years. “Tonight, the bells of Notre Dame are ringing again. And in a moment, the organ will awaken,” sending the “music of hope” cascading through the luminous interior to Parisians, France, and the world beyond, he said. The celebration is expected to give a much-needed boost to the embattled French leader, whose prime minister was ousted this week , plunging the nation’s politics into more turmoil. Macron has called Notre Dame’s reopening “a jolt of hope.” Observers say he hoped the occasion would briefly silence his critics and showcase France’s unity and resilience under his leadership — a rare moment of grace in a presidency now facing a grave crisis. Inside Notre Dame, 42,000 square meters of stonework—equivalent to six soccer pitches—gleamed anew, revealing intricate carvings and luminous limestone. Above, 2,000 oak beams, nicknamed “the forest,” restored the cathedral’s iconic spire and roof. The great organ, dormant for over five years, roared back to life like a slumbering giant. With its 7,952 pipes—ranging from pen-sized to torso-wide—and a renovated console featuring five keyboards, 115 stops, and 30 foot pedals, it responded to Archbishop Laurent Ulrich’s command: “Wake up, organ, sacred instrument.” The first low rumble grew into a triumphant symphony as four organists pulled out the stops, weaving improvised responses to the archbishop’s invocations. Eight times, Ulrich addressed the organ; eight times, its voice filled the nave with breathtaking sound. Guests marveled at the spectacle, many capturing the moment on their phones. “It’s a sense of perfection,” said François Le Page of the Notre Dame Foundation, who last saw the cathedral cloaked in scaffolding in 2021. “It was somber then. Now, it’s night and day.” The Rev. Andriy Morkvas, a Ukrainian priest who leads the Volodymyr Le Grand church in Paris, reflected on his first visit to Notre Dame in over a decade. “I didn’t recognize it,” he said. “God is very powerful; He can change things.” He expressed hope that the cathedral’s revival could inspire peace in his homeland, drawing strength from the presence of Ukraine’s president. “I think that will have a big impact,” he said. “I hope Notre Dame and Mary will help us resolve this conflict.” The reopening of Notre Dame comes at a time of profound global unrest, with wars raging in Ukraine and the Middle East. For Catholics, Notre Dame’s rector said the cathedral “carries the enveloping presence of the Virgin Mary, a maternal and embracing presence.′′ “It is a magnificent symbol of unity,” Olivier Ribadeau Dumas said. “Notre Dame is not just a French monument — it is a magnificent sign of hope.” The international range of dignitaries coming to Paris underline the cathedral’s significance as a symbol of shared heritage and peace. Canadian visitor Noelle Alexandria, who had traveled to Paris for the reopening, was struck by the cathedral’s ability to inspire. “She’s been nearly ruined before, but she always comes back,” Alexandria said. “Not many of us could say the same after such tragedy, but Notre Dame can.” Guests entered through Notre Dame’s iconic western façade, whose arched portals adorned with biblical carvings were once a visual guide for medieval believers. Above the central Portal of the Last Judgment, the Archangel Michael is depicted weighing souls, as demons attempt to tip the scales. These stone figures, designed to inspire both awe and fear, set the stage for a ceremony steeped in history. Inside, the hum of hundreds of guests awaiting the service filled the cathedral with human sounds once more — a stark contrast to the construction din that echoed there for years. Tuners restoring the great organ often worked through the night to find the silence needed to perfect its 7,952 pipes, ranging from pen-sized to torso-wide. Notre Dame echoed to the sound of a sustained standing ovation after the showing of a short movie that documented the gargantuan rebuilding effort. Outside, the word “MERCI” — thank you — was projected against the cathedral’s iconic western facade. The movie showed the terrible wounds left by the inferno — the gaping holes torn into its vaulted ceilings and the burned roof. But that was followed by images of all types of artisans, many using traditional handicraft techniques, who collectively restored Notre Dame to look better now than ever. "We went from night to light," said one of the workers in the movie. Security will be high through the weekend, echoing measures taken during the Paris Olympics earlier this year. The Île de la Cité — the small island in the River Seine that is home to Notre Dame and the historic heart of Paris— is closed to tourists and non-residents. Police vans and barriers blocked cobblestoned streets in a large perimeter around the island, while soldiers in thick body armor and sniffer dogs patrolled embankments. A special security detail is following Trump. Public viewing areas along the Seine’s southern bank will accommodate 40,000 spectators, who can follow the celebrations on large screens. For many, Notre Dame’s rebirth is not just a French achievement but a global one — after the reopening, the cathedral is set to welcome 15 million visitors annually, up from 12 million before the fire.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The mood in the Eagles' locker room was a bit more bleak than it should have been for a team riding a nine-game winning streak and celebrating a franchise rushing record. Former 1,000-yard receiver DeVonta Smith — who caught a touchdown pass and not much else — was exasperated at the offensive no-show. A.J. Brown, who holds a slew of team receiving records, had as much to offer in his sour postgame interview as he did on the field when he was held to four catches. This was the sullen attitude of a team still in the hunt for a top seed in the NFC? Here's the good news for the Philadelphia: Saquon Barkley rushed for 124 yards to break the Eagles season record , and Jalen Hurts threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Carolina Panthers. Barkley's consistent brilliance aside, Hurts and the Eagles slogged through another rough offensive outing. “Everybody has a reason to want more,” Hurts said. The Eagles (11-2) maintained their position as the No. 2 team in the NFC, behind Detroit (12-1), after a mostly lethargic effort against the Panthers (3-10). Hurts’ passing numbers were a pedestrian 14 of 21 for 108 yards. Brown had four catches for 43 yards — and threw his helmet in anger after a three-and-out — and Smith had four catches for 37 yards. What do the Eagles need to improve on? “Passing,” Brown deadpanned. How tough was it for the receivers to find a rhythm? “Incredibly tough,” he said. Hurts didn't do enough to get Smith and Brown involved, one reason why the lowly Panthers stayed in striking distance until the final possession. He took four sacks. He held the ball too long as open receivers ran with their arms up trying to get their QB's attention. “I play my role in how we execute,” Hurts said. “But ultimately it's about what position we put ourselves in. It's not my choice.” That message will surely reverberate through coach Nick Sirianni and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore's offices this week. “I think that’s fair that the questions are about our pass game right now,” Sirianni said. The Eagles at least had Barkley to bail them out. Barkley added another milestone in his MVP push when he used a 9-yard run in the fourth quarter to surpass LeSean McCoy's Eagles record of 1,607 yards, set in 2013. Barkley now has 1,623 yards with four games left. “How cool is it that we have a team rushing record in Week 13?” Sirianni said. Hurts had flashes of form, like when he hit Grant Calcaterra with a 4-yard TD pass and Barkley ran in the 2-point conversion for a 22-16 lead early in the fourth. Bryce Young gamely moved the Panthers into Eagles territory on the final drive. He completed a 13-yard pass on fourth down that moved the ball to the 38, and a second-down pass to Xavier Legette gave the Eagles a brief scare when the receiver seemed to have the ball in the end zone. He didn't. Young eluded a pass rush on fourth down but his final attempt was incomplete. He finished 19 of 34 for 191 yards. Panthers coach Dave Canales said Legette “absolutely” had to make the catch. “That’s a big play we’re counting on. He’d be the first one to tell you he’s got to make that play,” Canales said. “Bryce steps up, makes a beautiful throw in the situation. We had the coverage we wanted, all that. Those are the plays that we’ve just got to find a way to make for us to get back on the winning column.” A 12 1/2-point underdog according to BetMGM Sportsbook, the Panthers played more like a team with playoff seeding at stake. Chuba Hubbard, who rushed for 92 yards and topped 1,000 on the season, made it 16-14 on a 1-yard run in the third quarter. Eddy Pineiro, who kicked a 38-yard field goal in the first quarter, missed the extra point. Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who was examined earlier for a concussion, changed the game late in the second quarter when he picked off Young’s deep pass at Philadelphia’s 41. Hurts scrambled 15 yards on the next drive and finished it with a 4-yard TD pass to Smith for a 14-10 lead. Gardner-Johnson’s pick bailed out an uneven effort by the Eagles. They failed to score on their opening drive for the 13th time this season, but the offensive bursts that usually follow never came. Hurts scored on tush push early in the second quarter, his 13th rushing score of the season, for a 7-3 lead. With nothing to lose, the Panthers went for it on fourth-and-3, and Young hit Tommy Tremble for a 3-yard TD and a 10-7 advantage. The Eagles did just enough. Their challenge now is getting the receivers' production up — and getting them happy — headed into the postseason. “Let the dissatisfaction fuel you for more,” Hurts said. “I think that’s always a fair place to be. And so we know there’s more out there for us, and we’re in pursuit of trying to find it.” Panthers kickoff and punt returner Raheem Blackshear suffered a chest injury. ... RB Jonathon Brooks left with a right knee injury — the same knee in which he tore the ACL last year with Texas. The Panthers had been very cautious bringing the second-round pick along. ... CB Jaycee Horn hurt his groin. Panthers: Host Dallas next Sunday. Eagles: Host cross-state rival Pittsburgh next Sunday.
