TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey elementary school had an unexpected visitor over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend: A deer jumped through a small window and knocked over items in a classroom before fleeing the building. A man walking his dog around 10 p.m. on Nov. 25 saw the young deer smash through a window at Cedar Grove Elementary School in Toms River, which is about 60 miles east (96.5 kilometers) of Philadelphia. The man notified police, and their subsequent search of the school was recorded by the officers' bodycams. When officers encountered the deer in a stairwell, the animal — who police have nicknamed “Rudolph” — initially charged at them as it ran down a hallway. School staffers boarded up the window and cleaned up after the deer’s escape.

Shares of global bank Barclays are forecast to more than double over the next 12 months, according to Jefferies. The British bank's stock has underperformed and is valued below its peers over the past few months. The disparity has led to the bank reportedly hiring consulting firm BCG to undertake a strategic review to address weaknesses in the share price. The bank's analysts predict that Barclays can potentially buy back £2.2 billion worth of shares in 2024 and 2025, along with £1.5 billion this year. As the bank's earnings increase, its share price could also rise, providing a better return for shareholders.

Robert Frost may have thought good fences make good neighbors, but in Los Angeles, those fences are planted rather than built. “Hedges are a constant in every design I do,” said Brent Green, a veteran landscaper in Los Angeles whose clients include Regina King, Regina Hall and Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne. “You guys are all concrete in Manhattan, and for privacy you have doormen,” he said to a reporter. “But here in Los Angeles, you can live near a freeway, a heavily trafficked street or be right on top of your neighbor, and you’ll still have a backyard. Hedges create privacy and make that a usable space.”Los Angeles is a horizontal city, a sprawling quilt of stitched-together neighborhoods bounded by crags and ocean.

It was about 1,100 feet off a dirt road. We took pine branches and put them under the tires to give them some grip, but it didn’t work. I had to call an excavator because we were so far off the road that a regular tow truck couldn’t reach us. The excavator actually drove a backhoe from his farm down the dirt road to find us. And they didn’t buy the property, so all of that trouble didn’t result in a sale.

Mortgage rates have been ticking down, yet remain volatile. If you are ready and able to buy a home, the day-to-day movements of rates should matter less than finding a home you can afford. Borrowers can also lower monthly payments by paying more upfront to buy down their mortgage rate. Buyers can then use that money to buy down the interest rate on their mortgage and reduce their payments. Mortgage rates are trending down, but it’s not going to be a perfect downward curve, said Melissa Cohn, regional vice president of William Raveis Mortgage.

CHICAGO, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Cooks may have to put away their oversized platters for serving turkey this Thanksgiving. If a farm has an outbreak, producers must disinfect their barns after culling turkeys and wait about six months before restocking. The National Turkey Federation acknowledged that cooks in some geographic areas could see limited supplies of big turkeys. On the U.S. East Coast, Baldor sees a shortage of the bigger sizes as large Thanksgiving celebrations make a comeback, Lindgren said. Shoppers are resuming traditional purchases of turkeys around 18 pounds, after downsizing their birds for smaller gatherings over the last two years, he said.

Oct 18 (Reuters) - Daniel Loeb's Third Point has built a significant position in toothpaste maker Colgate-Palmolive Co (CL.N) and sees value in a potential spinoff of its Hill's Pet Nutrition business and other brands, the activist investor said in a letter seen by Reuters. The investor letter did not disclose the size of Third Point's stake, but cited several reasons for investing in the consumer goods company, including its pricing power in inflationary conditions and the strength in its pet food business. Loeb called the pet segment one of the most "exciting" pockets in the consumer space and said the business could be worth roughly $20 billion if it were a standalone company. Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com Register"There is meaningful hidden value in the company's Hill's Pet Nutrition business, which we believe would command a premium multiple if separated from Colgate's consumer assets," the letter said. Sales in Colgate's pet nutrition business have outpaced overall company revenue over the last few years as consumers pay more attention to the needs of their cats and dogs.

Kerry Chrapliwy — CEO of a marketing agency representing Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange platform that co-sponsored the show — said web3 world has a reputation for being geeky, insular, and male, which needs to change. A divide became clear, though, despite the overlap between the fashion world and the NFT world — like being environmentally disastrous and needing disposable income to participate — their communities do not easily merge, even in a space dedicated to facilitating just that. They didn't seem to know about the NFT element of Tam's collection, didn't care, or both. Their jobs involve a combination of working with the clothes, with models, and in the case of this collection, with people in the NFT world.
