Verstappen earns 18th win of F1 season in spirited Las Vegas Grand Prix, which exceeded expectations

Published Fri, 29 Nov 2024 11:25:10 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Max Verstappen won his 18th race of the season Saturday night with a pass of Charles Leclerc at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, which turned out to be one of the most competitive events of the season despite a disastrous start to Formula One’s expensive extravaganza. “Viva Las Vegas! Viva Las Vegas!” sang the three-time reigning world champion as he crossed the checkered flag waved by Justin Bieber. Verstappen had slammed the race at every chance, yet raced in an Elvis-inspired fire-suit and took the victory on the famed Las Vegas Strip. The race was the the third stop this season in the United States, more than any other country, and was promoted by F1 and owner Liberty Media. But the event has been lambasted — especially by Verstappen — for its opulence and excess. Tickets were expensive, hotels along the famed Strip hiked their prices, and the sporting element of the 21st race of the season was overshadowed by everything from celebrities, musical acts, a myriad o...

B.C. stream watchers link ‘unprecedented’ coho salmon kill to tire toxin and drought

Published Fri, 29 Nov 2024 11:25:10 GMT

VANCOUVER — John Barker has been volunteering with the West Vancouver Streamkeeper Society for more than 20 years and says he’s never seen anything like it, dozens of coho salmon, pre-spawn and silvery, looking fresh from the sea, dead at the mouth of Brothers Creek.“When you have a loss like this, it’s devastating,” said Barker. He and others suspect the culprit in the “unprecedented” kill in late October could have been a chemical found in tires that has previously been associated with coho deaths, coupled with B.C.’s drought. He hopes solutions can be found and wants the tire industry to find an alternative to the chemical, called 6PPD-quinone. “Some people seem to think water that’s picked up off the street is going to a treatment plant. Well, it’s not,” said Barker.“It’s being deposited straight into the watercourses. If you’ve got hostile product on the roadside and it gets picked up, that’s where it’s goi...

Published Fri, 29 Nov 2024 11:25:10 GMT

When the winter blues strike, many people blame the shorter days and longer nights. It’s a clinical condition known as seasonal affective disorder or SAD for short.Symptoms including persistent low mood, irritability and feeling stressed or anxious, can pounce without warning, said Dr. Norman Rosenthal, clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine.“[People] become slowed down and need more sleep,” he said. “They withdraw from friends and family and relationships and work can suffer.”About 15% of the U.S. population suffers from SAD. Of that number, roughly a third experience more severe symptoms.Rosenthal said there are four simple ways to combat the condition.“First and foremost, get more light,” he said. “This can be done with light fixtures.

F1 exceeds Las Vegas expectations as Verstappen wins one of the most competitive races of the season

Published Fri, 29 Nov 2024 11:25:10 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Max Verstappen hated everything about the Las Vegas Grand Prix from the moment he arrived in Sin City. Formula One’s three-time reigning world champion found the excess and opulence over-the-top and prioritized over the actual racing. He changed his tune — literally — following his 18th win of the season. “Viva Las Vegas! Viva Las Vegas!” sang Verstappen as he crossed under the checkered flag waved by Justin Bieber. Verstappen had slammed Saturday night’s spectacle at every chance, yet raced in an Elvis-inspired firesuit and took the victory on the famed Las Vegas Strip. “I hope everyone enjoyed it, we definitely did. Excited to come back here next year and try to do something similar,” said Verstappen, who had markedly reversed his weeklong position on the Las Vegas spectacle.“It was a fun race. I enjoyed it,” he conceded. Verstappen passed Charles Leclerc at the start then overcame a penalty to pass Leclerc once more with 13 laps remaining to continue ...
