Bitcoin proxy MicroStrategy to join the Nasdaq 100 and heavily traded ‘QQQ' ETFIn 2024, Kendrick Lamar has put together one of the biggest years of his career: He was the undisputed winner of the highest-profile rap beef in years; he's had a hit near the top of the pop charts for six months; he's nominated for more than half a dozen Grammys, including song and record of the year; he'll headline the halftime show at next year's Super Bowl. All of this without releasing an album. At least until today. At noon Eastern Time on Friday, Lamar dropped his sixth studio album, GNX . He did it without sharing a hint of its existence — no advance singles or videos or cryptic social media posts. (Not that it stopped fans from speculating.) GNX is Kendrick's first full-length release since 2022's Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers. The 12-track album features performances from mariachi singer Deyra Barrera, SZA and Dody6; producers include Jack Antonoff , Sounwave and Kamasi Washington . Even before this surprise drop, Lamar was already on a roll. In May, he capped his ferocious back-and-forth with rival Drake with the diss track " Not Like Us ," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart twice — the week of its release as well as later, in July, when its video came out — and earned him several nods from the Recording Academy. On June 19, he hosted The Pop Up - Ken & Friends , a concert at the Forum in Los Angeles that was live-streamed by Amazon Music and featured cameos from some of the West Coast's biggest rappers, from Roddy Ricch to Tyler, The Creator . In September, it was announced that Lamar will return to the Super Bowl stage next year to headline the halftime show. "Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date. And I'll be there to remind the world why," he said in a statement. "They got the right one." In 2022, Kendrick performed "m.A.A.d City" and "Alright" at the Los Angeles hip-hop-focused halftime show led by Dr. Dre . That year, he had broken his five-year hiatus from the spotlight following 2017's DAMN, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Music. GNX is Lamar's first album since his departure from long-time label Top Dawg Entertainment. It was released under his own label, pgLang, via Interscope Records.Population: 8621 Distance from Perth CBD: 7.6km north-west Median House Price: $1,990,000 Median Unit Price: $810,000 Crime: 253 offences (2023-2024) Floreat residents are well connected and surrounded by nature, with access to fantastic amenities and premium educational opportunities. One of Perth’s highly desirable western suburbs, Floreat is known for its tree-lined streets, lush parks and a strong sense of community, according to real estate agents. Beyond the suburb’s natural beauty is a relaxed and family-friendly lifestyle, created through playgrounds, shopping centres, cafes and restaurants. Between the city and beach, Floreat is a place where residents can enjoy the best of both worlds. With Perth’s CBD only a 15-minute drive away locals can exploit the city’s employment and entertainment opportunities. And just five minutes to the west are City and Floreat beaches. Floreat has a big number of sporting facilities, including the WA Athletics Stadium and the Bendat Basketball Centre. Both are state-of-the-art venues that replaced Perry Lakes Stadium and the Perry Lakes Basketball Stadium. For those interested in getting outdoors without breaking a sweat, Perry Lakes Reserve is a remarkable green space with picnic and barbecue facilities next to playgrounds, basketball courts and a skatepark. Floreat is closely connected to nature, being home to part of Bold Park, a 442ha area of bushland. The A-class reserve is a vital habitat for wildlife. The park offers several walking trails, including the popular Lower Camel Lake Heritage Trail, which allows locals and visitors to immerse themselves in the suburb’s natural beauty. Ray White sales executive Helen Hemery said Floreat’s natural charms and open spaces set it apart from neighbouring suburbs, attracting “street activity” that brought vibrancy and atmosphere. Bordered by Underwood Avenue, Selby Street, Cromarty Road and Durston Road, Floreat is home to the Town of Cambridge administration centre. Properties in Floreat are known for their modern architecture. Mrs Hemery said the suburb had some of Perth’s best mid-century properties, designed by renowned architects including Iwan Iwanoff, Geoffrey Summerhayes and Marshall Waller Clifton. Floreat Forum Shopping Centre features a variety of cafes, restaurants and retail stores, and one of its standout attractions is The Floreat Hotel, a pub and bistro known for its relaxed atmosphere and hearty meals. In addition to its dining and shopping options, Floreat Forum also houses a medical centre and post office. The area’s schools include Floreat Park primary, which opened in 1951, and Shenton and Newman colleges. Another attraction for big families is that 56 per cent of dwellings have four or more bedrooms. About 83 per cent of houses are occupied by families. The front yards of Floreat homes often play a central role in neighbourhood activities, with Christmas events and Halloween hijinks particularly popular, according to Mrs Hemery. It comes as no surprise that stand-alone homes dominate the suburb’s stock at 89.9 per cent. Apartments make up 7.5 per cent of dwellings and townhouses 2.7 per cent.phlboss download ios 。

NEW YORK (AP) — No ex-president had a more prolific and diverse publishing career than Jimmy Carter . His more than two dozen books included nonfiction, poetry, fiction, religious meditations and a children’s story. His memoir “An Hour Before Daylight” was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2002, while his 2006 best-seller “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” stirred a fierce debate by likening Israel’s policies in the West Bank to the brutal South African system of racial segregation. And just before his 100th birthday, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize Foundation honored him with a lifetime achievement award for how he wielded "the power of the written word to foster peace, social justice, and global understanding.” In one recent work, “A Full Life,” Carter observed that he “enjoyed writing” and that his books “provided a much-needed source of income.” But some projects were easier than others. “Everything to Gain,” a 1987 collaboration with his wife, Rosalynn, turned into the “worst threat we ever experienced in our marriage,” an intractable standoff for the facilitator of the Camp David accords and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. According to Carter, Rosalynn was a meticulous author who considered “the resulting sentences as though they have come down from Mount Sinai, carved into stone.” Their memories differed on various events and they fell into “constant arguments.” They were ready to abandon the book and return the advance, until their editor persuaded them to simply divide any disputed passages between them. “In the book, each of these paragraphs is identified by a ‘J’ or an ‘R,’ and our marriage survived,” he wrote. Here is a partial list of books by Carter: “Keeping Faith: Memoirs of a President” “The Blood of Abraham: Insights into the Middle East” (With Rosalynn Carter) “Everything to Gain: Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life” “An Outdoor Journal: Adventures and Reflections” “Turning Point: A Candidate, a State, and a Nation Come of Age” “Always a Reckoning, and Other Poems” (With daughter Amy Carter) “The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer” “Living Faith” “The Virtues of Aging” “An Hour Before Daylight: Memories of a Rural Boyhood” “Christmas in Plains: Memories” “The Hornet’s Nest: A Novel of the Revolutionary War” “Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis” “Faith & Freedom: The Christian Challenge for the World” “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” “A Remarkable Mother” “Beyond the White House” “We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land: A Plan That Will Work” “White House Diary” “NIV Lessons from Life Bible: Personal Reflections with Jimmy Carter” “A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power” “A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety” Copyright 2024 The Associated Press .

Iowa offense ready to excel against New HampshireAP Trending SummaryBrief at 5:46 p.m. EST

Romania pro-EU parties strike coalition govt pactFLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets running back Breece Hall could play Sunday at Jacksonville after missing a game with a knee injury. Hall has been dealing with a hyperextension and injured MCL in his left knee that sidelined him last Sunday at Miami. But he was a full participant at practice Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. Hall was officially listed as questionable on the team's final injury report. “He looks good right now,” interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said. “So it’s promising.” Hall leads the Jets with 692 yards rushing and four touchdown runs, and he also has 401 yards receiving and two scores on 46 catches. A pair of rookies helped New York offset Hall's absence last weekend, with Braelon Allen rushing for 43 yards on 11 carries, and Isaiah Davis getting 40 yards on 10 attempts and scoring his first rushing touchdown. “We’re hopeful and we’ll see how it goes,” Ulbrich said of Hall. The Jets will get star cornerback Sauce Gardner back after he missed a game with a hamstring injury, but New York's secondary appears likely to be without cornerback D.J. Reed because of a groin injury. Reed was listed as doubtful after he didn't practice Thursday or Friday. “It’s been something that’s kind of lingered here and there,” Ulbrich said. “It’s gotten aggravated and then it went away, and then it got aggravated again. So, it’s just dealing with that.” Backup Brandin Echols is out with a shoulder injury, so veteran Isaiah Oliver or rookie Qwan'tez Stiggers could get the start opposite Gardner if Reed can't play. Kendall Sheffield also could be elevated from the practice squad for the second game in a row. Ulbrich said kick returner Kene Nwangwu will be placed on injured reserve after breaking a hand last weekend at Miami. The injury came a week after he was selected the AFC special teams player of the week in his Jets debut, during which he returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown and forced a fumble in a loss to Seattle. “To put him out there with a broken hand, just thought it’d be counterproductive for him and for us as a team, so it unfortunately cuts the season short and what a bright light he was,” Ulbrich said. “What an amazing future I think he has in this league. With saying that, he’s already been a really good player for quite a while, so (it's) unfortunate, but he’ll be back.” Offensive lineman Xavier Newman (groin) is doubtful, while right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle) and RT Morgan Moses (wrist) are questionable.
