An Arizona produce company is recalling all sizes of its whole, fresh American cucumbers in 26 states and parts of Canada because they could be contaminated with salmonella, it said. Recalled cucumbers from SunFed were also sold in parts of Canada. "As soon as we learned of this issue, we immediately acted to protect consumers," SunFed President Craig Slate said in a statement. Cucumbers also were recalled earlier this year in South Florida, where at least 551 people were likely sickened by salmonella and 155 hospitalized. Many of the recalled cucumbers were linked to Bedner Growers Inc., and Thomas Produce Co., both of Palm Beach County, Florida, according to the FDA.

A new stock exchange launching next year is on track to offer nearly round-the-clock trading on business days, pending final regulatory approvals, 24 Exchange announced late Wednesday. The 24X National Exchange will debut in the second half of 2025, with trading from 4:00 a.m. ET on Friday, with a one-hour pause each day, once the exchange clears some final hurdles with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The arrival of 24X is part of a broader push toward a wider window of time for stock trading. Certain brokerage firms, including Robinhood Markets and Interactive Brokers, already offer extended trading on certain securities to their clients.

Indigenous researchers are up against a ticking clock: Of the 4,000 Indigenous languages worldwide, one dies every two weeks with its last speaker. He leads First Languages AI Reality, an initiative of the Mila-Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, where researchers are building speech recognition models for over 200 endangered Indigenous languages in North America. However, first, he must overcome a major roadblock: There aren’t enough Indigenous computer scientist graduates — people who know the language and culture — to tackle these language preservation projects. “We only graduate one or two Indigenous Ph.D.s in AI and computer science every year,” he said. That’s where the handful of Indigenous engineers who do exist come in: They are leading organizations like First Languages AI Reality, IndigiGenius, Tech Natives and the Wihanble S’a Center for Indigenous AI to train Native American, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian computer science students to preserve Indigenous culture and language.

BEIRUT — Islamist rebels breached neighborhoods in Syria’s second-largest city of Aleppo and clashed with government military forces after detonating two car bombs Friday. The Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, the monitoring organization, said fierce clashes were underway between the attacking insurgents and regime troops. Syrian armed forces were repelling attacks, the Syrian Defense ministry said Friday, adding government forces involved in combat operations were able to regain control over some areas. "Our armed forces have inflicted heavy losses on the attacking organizations, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries among the terrorists," Syria's general command of the army and armed forces said in a statement translated by NBC News. The Syrian civil war started in early 2011 with a wave of protests against the authoritarian rule of President Bashar al-Assad.

Most of Connecticut's congressional delegation said they were the subject of bomb threats Thursday at their homes as they were preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving, although no bombs ultimately were found. "On Thanksgiving, Senator Murphy’s home in Hartford was the target of a bomb threat, which appears to be part of a coordinated effort involving multiple members of Congress and public figures," a spokesperson said in a statement. Similarly, Himes said in a statement on X that he was notified Thursday morning about a bomb threat targeting his home, though police found "no evidence of a bomb." Capitol Police said in January that it investigated more than 8,000 incidents involving threats to members of Congress last year, including "concerning statements and direct threats." Several of President-elect Donald Trump's planned administration officials were targeted with bomb and "swatting" threats Tuesday and Wednesday.

SEOUL, South Korea — Starbucks, one of the world’s most recognizable, if sometimes tedious, symbols of global capitalism, has a knack for choosing unique spots to open coffee shops. As of Friday, visitors to Aegibong Peace Ecopark near Gimpo, South Korea, can take in the views across the demilitarized zone and the North Korean border. “People used to think of this area near the North Korean border as a dark and gloomy place,” Kim Byung-soo, mayor of Gimpo, told NBC News.

“The Seed of the Sacred Fig” is fiction, but at times it resembles a documentary about recent political turmoil. The paranoia at the heart of the “Sacred Fig” storyline sometimes mirrored the atmosphere on set, where the arrival of a stranger could spell doom for the filmmakers. It’s only natural to be afraid when you’re filming that way,” Rasoulof said. He chose to continue filming while his lawyers filed an appeal. “Sacred Fig” is now Germany’s entry for best international feature at the 97th Academy Awards in early March.

But the floodgates really opened last year when she was diagnosed with breast cancer at 31 years old. “It feels really dumb to feel hopeful.”About a third of cancer patients struggle with depression, anxiety and other psychiatric disorders, although these conditions often go undetected and undiagnosed. But this neglect comes at a significant cost, with mortality rates up to 39% higher among cancer patients with depression when compared to those without mental illness. In a 2023 study of 230,000 patients, 10% of people had depression or anxiety before their cancer diagnosis, and 22% were diagnosed afterward. Similarly, hormone-blocking drugs, which are commonly used for prostate and breast cancer, can contribute to fatigue and mood changes, while cancer surgeries can profoundly affect one’s body image and sense of self.

PEACHAM, Vt. — The last thing John and Jenny Mackenzie saw as they fled their Vermont home with their daughters, dog and two guinea pigs last summer was their cars upended and propelled away by rushing flood waters. “It was just like it was a horror movie at that point,” John Mackenzie said of the surreal scene on that July 10 night. “We lost both of our vehicles, our home and our barn and at least half of our possessions,” Jenny Mackenzie said. Donations from friends, family and others in their community have helped the Mackenzies find a new house in time for Thanksgiving, giving them hope amid ongoing challenges. “It’s unbelievable the way that we were supported and we’ve been trying to find ways to communicate that gratitude,” said John Mackenzie, 49.

In GOP-won states, shipping volumes increased by 50.4% after the election, while Democrat-won states saw volumes decrease by an average of 11.2%.

New single-aisle planes offer cost efficiency, smaller capacity, and flexible cabins. This evolution has been largely propelled by the Airbus A321neo family, smaller planes that can flyer further than previous single-aisle aircraft. In 2024, 39,000 flights between North America and Europe are scheduled on single-aisle planes made by Boeing and Airbus, according to data from Cirium, an aviation analytics company. AdvertisementAirbus is pioneering this narrow-body shiftSuch a focus on single-aisle planes that can tackle long flights has been a boon for Airbus. Plus, single-aisle flying allows for quicker boarding and deplaning, which may be welcome time-savings for some customers — especially during tight layovers.
