Property companies say the quality of the skiing is not the only criteria for some Alpine buyers. Instead of winter sports, wellness is taking priority for many seeking an Alpine chalet. AdvertisementYet, for some wealthy chalet buyers in upmarket towns such as Gstaad and Courchevel, it seems skiing is no longer the only draw. Pristine slopes are not the only draw for Alpine chalet buyers. Rollason added that if the uber-wealthy are buying a chalet, "then it's not just a chalet — it's an all-encompassing leisure object."

Senate Republicans derailed President-elect Donald Trump’s first jaw-dropping pick for attorney general, Matt Gaetz. But it’s unclear if they will be able to block any other controversial nominees despite skepticism from some rank-and-file Republicans. In the weeks since Trump’s dramatic election victory, the power struggle between the president-elect and independent-minded Senate Republicans has been playing out in plain view. Senators are getting a brief reprieve from questions about Trump’s nominees as they celebrate Thanksgiving.

‘Wicked’ was initially, and always, intended to be a movieBut there’s another reason that feels just as obvious. Clearly, the Tony-winning Broadway show’s and now movie’s success is a testament to the fact that he had the right instinct. The DNA of ‘Wicked’ comes from arguably the most beloved musical family movie, everJudy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz."

☆ The US is on the cusp of a nuclear renaissance. One problem: Americans are terrified of the waste
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-25 | by ( Ella Nilsen | Bill Weir | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +11 min

This is one of several misconceptions about nuclear energy: America’s nuclear waste is not buried in a mountain or tucked at the bottom of a deep, rocky cavern. That is almost entirely because Americans are by and large opposed to living anywhere near nuclear waste, and suspicious of governments’ or utilities’ attempts to assuage nuclear fears. The byproduct of nuclear energy is still associated with atomic bombs or nuclear meltdowns. On the threshold of America’s nuclear energy renaissance, federal officials are pleading with communities to say yes to storing spent fuel. No state has yet raised its hand to store the country’s nuclear energy waste, despite the lucrative deals it could foment.

A Republican senator has blocked the promotion of a general who oversaw troops in Kabul during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to a Senate aide. The move by Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin follows threats from President-elect Donald Trump to fire senior officers and officials who oversaw the chaotic pullout from Afghanistan in 2021. His nomination was among more than 900 proposed nominations sent to the Senate but Donahue’s was put on hold by Sen. Mullin, according to the Senate aide. Donahue was the last American service member to board the final U.S. military plane out of Afghanistan in 2021. “Unless there are facts I don’t know, holding up military promotions bc of our disgraceful Afghanistan withdrawal is wrong,” she wrote.

In the musical, Elphaba arrives at Shiz as an enrolled student under strict orders to look after her sister.
