Major security scare sparks no-fly zone order over King Charles’s beloved home | Royal | News

Published by Sam

A new no-fly zone has been imposed over a much-loved royal residence amid fears of drones circulating in the area. The blanket year-long no-fly area was imposed over Sandringham, in Norfolk, within days of the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, it is reported. The no-fly zone order has been passed for “security for members of the Royal Family and other dignitaries staying at or visiting Sandringham House”. Ahead of the Ukrainian President’s visit to the UK in March, witnesses told The Sun there was a major security operation around the King’s 60-acre estate. Before Zelensky flew in to see the King, one of the drones spotted hours before was traced back to a man sitting in a car. A source said: “It prompted a security scare. The operator was tracked down and spoken to.” One drone was also traced to a photographer, but the source of others are still believed to be unknown. Modern technology, such as using drones, could mean there is a risk of explosive devices or surveillance cameras being used that …

The series originally started life in 2018 as a show aimed at children but, after continually tackling mature themes that, months ago, left parents in tears, it’s become clear that Bluey has morphed into something else entirely. This recently led to a debate on the Adult Bluey Fans Facebook group, with one mother wondering when exactly you become too old to enjoy the Australian show. “When does your child outgrow Bluey?” the post read, with the user sharing a story about an interaction she saw while out shopping. “While shopping today, a young girl, around nine or 10 years old, expressed excitement upon seeing Bluey-themed clothing. Her mother questioned her, ‘Aren’t you becoming too mature for Bluey?’” They weren’t the only ones upset by this plot development, …

Trump Victory Sparks Renewed Optimism In Manufacturing Surveys

Published by skeptic

While Services surveys are soaring, Manufacturing continues to stagnate (below 50) despite a serial improvement in US Macro ‘hard’ data. However, November saw a post-Trump resurgence in confidence with S&P Global’s Manufacturing PMI rising to 49.7 (highest since June) and ISM’s Manufacturing PMI jumped from 46.5 to 48.4… Source: Bloomberg While both of the surveys rose notably, they do both remain in contraction (sub-50). One more silver lining is that while new orders rose, prices actually fell (for now)… Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence noted optimism is on the rise: “The mood among US manufacturers brightened in November, though any feel-good factor has yet to feed through to higher output on the factory floor. “Optimism about the year ahead has improved to a level not beaten in two and a half years, buoyed by the lifting of uncertainty seen in the lead up to the election, as well as the prospect of stronger economic growth and greater protectionism against foreign competition under the new Trump administration in 2025. But, it’s …

Published by skeptic

Every January, clients share with me stories of heartbreak and new resolutions. Couples who entered the holiday season together often emerge from it apart.
