AdvertisementVietnamese real estate tycoon Truong My Lan had her appeal against the death sentence rejected. Judges said her sentence may be reduced if she paid three-quarters of the $12 billion she embezzled. A Vietnamese real estate tycoon is desperately trying to raise $9 billion to avoid the death penalty after her bid to appeal the sentence was rejected on Tuesday. Advertisement"However, these require time and effort to sell, as many of the assets are real estate and take time to liquidate," Nguyen said. Lan's lawyers also said that the death sentence would make it harder for her to negotiate the best prices for her assets.

AdvertisementIntel CEO Pat Gelsinger is out of the top spot after a challenging 4-year tenure. On Monday morning, Intel employees joined an all-hands meeting after receiving an email invite at 5 a.m. PT. Being CEO of Intel was Pat Gelsinger's dream since he joined the company as a teenager in 1979. But no one at the top has the technical expertise of Gelsinger, which Intel employees pointed out in their questions. No one has been a closer witness to this roller coaster than Intel employees, who have seen multiple waves of layoffs and buyouts.

It will transport both people and goods and will also service defense purposes, state media said. State media said that Vietnam will prioritize domestic funding for the project but may consider foreign loans if they are affordable and not restrictive.

But some customers say they’ve had a hard time getting AHS to respond to common issues like those.

When asked about the regression Kingsbury said he didn’t plan on changing his offense, but this system desperately needs to evolve.

Jones: Entering the season, it seemed realistic to expect the Texans to take another step forward after last year’s success. AdvertisementNguyen: All year, there were signs that the Texans offense is deeply flawed despite their weapons on the outside. So passing over Lock to play DeVito feels like an order from above rather than a coaching decision.

Does Sunday’s wild win in Pittsburgh tell us more about the Steelers or Ravens when it comes to AFC contenders? Nguyen: This Packers team is better than last year’s edition. A month from now, are we going to be talking about the Dolphins, Colts, both or neither as competing for the seventh seed in the AFC? Pompei: The competition for the last wild-card spot in the AFC could come down to the Dolphins, Colts, Bengals and Broncos. The Colts defense has improved, and on Sunday Richardson executed better than he did prior to his benching.

☆ As weddings become more expensive, guests are paying more in costs as well
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-16 | by ( Leah Asmelash | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +12 min

As an unwed woman and frequent wedding guest in 2024, I am maybe too attuned to the ways weddings have become increasingly extravagant. On Reddit, one user noted that being a bridesmaid in her best friend’s wedding in a Scandinavian town, where the friend’s family is from, is going to run her $8,000. And some guests are being denied plus-ones, making attending the wedding less of a joy and more of a dutiful chore. Even in times of high inflation, like now, while some may try to cut back, expensive weddings prevail. Weddings are the rare time in life where everyone you care about will likely come together — friends, family and loved ones.

Pennsylvania's hotly contested Senate race hangs in the balance nearly a week after Election Day, with Republicans declaring victory and Democrats holding out hope that the remaining batch of outstanding ballots will allow them to close the gap. A McCormick victory would further pad Republicans' newfound majority in the Senate, where they will hold at least 52 seats after the election. But even before the new Congress is sworn in next January, the outcome of the Pennsylvania race could have implications for the Senate leadership elections Wednesday. Pennsylvanians can cast provisional ballots when officials are unclear about their eligibility or there were issues with their returned mail-in ballots. McCormick’s campaign filed two lawsuits Friday challenging an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 provisional ballots in Philadelphia that may have issues, such as missing signatures.

After winning in Washington, the first game of a daunting second-half schedule, do the Pittsburgh Steelers belong in the Super Bowl conversation? Setting aside how they compare to the rest of the NFL in 2024, how do you feel this year’s edition compares to the Chiefs teams of the past two seasons? Good teams, remember, almost always get fortuitous bounces and kind calls. This Chiefs team is more balanced and more well-rounded. And so, although the delivery may differ, this Chiefs team is just as equipped to make a Super Bowl run as any of the previous iterations.

The Athletic NFL writers Mike Jones, Ted Nguyen and Michael Silver share their thoughts on all of these storylines and more. After Week 9 wins by the Ravens, Bills, Bengals and Chargers, who is the second-best team in the AFC? If you don’t have an elite quarterback, don’t even bother trying to insert yourself into the “Who Will Win the AFC?” conversation. Denver has an elite defense but the Ravens offense presents unique challenges that they won’t see every week. That score doesn’t indicate how good this Broncos team actually is.

In 2020, Asian American turnout in Georgia surged by 84% compared with the previous presidential election, playing a larger role than ever in an election that Joe Biden won by a very narrow margin. And much has been made of the local Asian community since then. Many are also newer immigrants, so specific ethnicity — Korean or Vietnamese, for example — is more of an identity than simply being Asian American. “National identity matters a lot more than their pan ethnic or racial identity,” said Karthick Ramakrishnan, founder of AAPI Data, a research group. Many Asian Americans are small-business owners or work in health care or the service industry or for international companies.

Hanoi, Vietnam AP —Vietnam elected Luong Cuong, a military general, as its new president on Monday, the fourth official to fill the largely ceremonial role in 18 months. The role of the general secretary is the most powerful position in Vietnam while the presidency is mostly ceremonial and involves meeting foreign dignitaries. Vietnam's Luong Cuong takes his oath as Vietnam's President during the autumn opening session at the National Assembly in Hanoi on October 21, 2024. When he became the new general secretary, he promised to maintain the anti-corruption fight. “The installation of Luong Cuong as president is yet another example of the expansion of Vietnam’s police state,” he said.

As recently as 2005, more than half of all automobiles on the road were painted a color other than black, white, silver, or gray. Today, less than 20% of vehicles listed in our database of 1.7 million cars are a color other than black, white, silver, or gray. "Simplifying the production process — with fewer trim options and fewer paint options — is always going to be a winner." Today, car colors are going the way of checked airline bags — you pay extra for something you used to get free. Offering fewer options to average car buyers — and more to the wealthy — enables automakers to bask in the color they care about most: green.
