PHOTOS: The world watches as US election results trickle in

From Taiwan to Jerusalem to India and beyond, many around the globe waited for the outcome of the United States election and wondered just how it would affect their lives in the coming days, months and years.

From coast to coast, Americans watched the results of a pivotal election Tuesday for the next president of the United States with a mix of tension, elation, relief and resignation as the votes were counted.

The race pitted Vice President Kamala Harris against former President Donald Trump.

Young and old mingled in crowds in public spaces, such as Times Square in New York City and college campuses, seeking out communities of friends to share the night and the roller coaster of emotions as the votes were tallied.

Others sought solitude or quieter spaces, such as a darkened beach or the end of a tavern bar, where the glow of hand-held devices or neon lights illuminated the results as they trickled in.

Some prayed. Some rejoiced.

And the world watched, too. From Taiwan to Jerusalem to India and beyond, many around the globe waited for the outcome of an election and wondered just how it would affect their lives in the coming days, months and years.

Households hail dehumidifier a ‘godsend for damp’ with ‘impressive’ low-energy usage 06/11/2024

Households hail dehumidifier a ‘godsend for damp’ with ‘impressive’ low-energy usage

Damp walls and chilly homes are a common occurrence during the winter’s wet weather, not to mention the hassle of drying laundry indoors. That’s where dehumidifiers come in.

One of the top benefits of using a dehumidifier is that by placing it beside wet laundry, you can drastically speed up drying time, and avoid using a tumble dryer, which can be costly to run. Dehumidifiers are also great for preventing the growth of mould and mildew and improving air quality.

Dehumidifiers generally have a relatively low energy usage, and by drawing litres of water from the air, can avoid moisture building up inside the house, especially when ventilation is poor during the winter. Although the handy devices can be an investment, they don’t have to cost a fortune.

Amazon’s selection offers a solution with the HKJIMO Portable Mini Electric Dehumidifier, with smart features and earning praise as “outstanding” – all for an affordable £39.98.

Customers who have purchased the purse-friendly dehumidifier have raved about it’s ability to collect water, with one shopper describing it as a “godsend for damp”.

This dehumidifier operates silently and can extract up to 300ml of moisture daily, making it a savvy investment. It combats dampness, accelerates laundry drying, and even helps heat your home more efficiently, ultimately cutting down on energy and household costs.

Compact in design, the HKJIMO dehumidifier measures a mere 5.1 x 5.1 x 9.4 inches, perfect for small spaces and tight budgets. It has a capacity of 850ml before needing to be emptied and includes an automatic shut-off feature for safe overnight or unattended use.

Energy efficiency is key with this device, which uses just 0.54kW of power over 24 hours. Ideal for bedrooms to promote better sleep, or in bathrooms and closets to prevent condensation, it keeps garments dry and fresh.

Customers are raving about the convenient size of the portable dehumidifier, with comments flooding in like: “Love the size of this portable dehumidifier” for being “very compact so can easily be placed where required.”

A specific customer remarked, “Have been using for a week and have definitely noticed a difference in the moisture in the air and can see it collecting water. Very easy to use/empty and instructions are also included. Quiet when in use so super happy with [the] product.” [SIC]

The praise has culminated in a 4.1-star status on Amazon. One chuffed customer said: “Amazing product, I have used lots of similar products before but this one is the best one in terms of design and features. Easy to use, value for money. Highly recommend.” [SIC]

Another shopper shared their experience with the dehumidifier, saying: “Works well. Godsend for a damp bedroom.”

Meanwhile, another previous purchaser added: ”I recently purchased this dehumidifier with 850ml tank and I could not be happier! the tank is easy to empty and maintain, making the whole process hassle-free. I love its lightweight and sleek design, which fits perfectly in any space. It effectively collects a good amount of moisture, helping to keep my home comfortable. Its energy efficiency with low consumption is truly impressive. Great value for money!” [SIC]

One satisfied customer shared their thoughts about the product: “Even though it’s only 850ml, it’s enough for 24 hours in my walk-in wardrobe. Love the lighting and how quiet it is. Must have for everyone who has ever experienced mould.” PSIC]

Yet another purchaser enthused: “The dehumidifier is lightweight and fits into tight spaces. When on it doesn’t make much noise. It’s easy to use and easy to set up. It clears the air in the bedroom. Would highly recommend.” [SIC]

However, not all feedback was glowing, as a shopper pointed out: “If I’d have known how small this was I’d have probably got a bigger one. Constantly emptying it.”

PHOTOS: Stark contrast between Harris and Trump supporters as election margin becomes razor thin

As election night progressed, Americans were fixated on results trickling in, their faces giving way to despair or celebration as states were called for Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump.

As election night progressed, Americans were fixated on results trickling in, their faces giving way to despair or celebration as states were called for Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump.

Trump supporters were ecstatic at a campaign watch party in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Harris supporters looked on in dismay when it was announced she would not speak at a campaign watch party on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C.

It was all smiles and hugs at some watch parties when it was announced Trump won Georgia, a state that he lost by just under 12,000 votes in 2020.

That was a stark contrast with Democratic supporters, who could only bury their faces in their hands as Trump continued to gain ground in states that President Joe Biden won four years before.

Andy Murray’s mum Judy gives surprising verdict on WTA Finals Saudi Arabia controversy

Judy Murray has gone against the grain amid scepticism about the WTA Finals being held in Saudi Arabia for the next three years, claiming it is a huge opportunity for women’s tennis. A startling low attendance on day two has intensified criticism of the Middle Eastern state for agreeing to host the showcase event.

Tennis icons Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova have been among those who have slammed Saudi Arabia for presenting the WTA Finals due to the country’s human rights record.

Further concerns were raised when just 400 spectators were present at the King Saud University Indoor Arena, which holds crowds of 5,000, for Sunday’s action.

But Murray has urged women’s tennis to make the most of the WTA Finals’ three-year residence in Saudi Arabia, describing it as a glorious chance to elevate the game.

“You couldn’t ask for a better shop window for tennis and especially for women’s tennis with the WTA Finals being here for three years,” Murray told Sky Sports Tennis.

“And we need to max out on that opportunity whilst the role models and the top names in our sport are here.

“We need to raise awareness of the sport but underpin that with all the community engagement that we’re doing and say: ‘Come on, everyone can play.’

“This is a massive opportunity for tennis to be the catalyst for change in women’s sport in Saudi.”

World No. 2 Iga Swiatek and 2023 US Open champion Coco Gauff would’ve been left disappointed at the sea of empty seats as their campaigns got underway at the weekend.

Swiatek marked her first match in two months with a victory against Barbora Krejcikova, while Gauff triumphed in an all-American clash with Jessica Pegula.

Tim Henman didn’t hesitate to express his discontent at the underwhelming turnout for some of tennis’ biggest names.

He said: “I think it’s just been disappointing. The way the event has been hosted, you look at the stadium courts, it’s absolutely fantastic, all the facilities, practice courts, restaurants, they’ve laid it all on.

“So, it’s just a little bit frustrating, and I think disappointing for the top eight players in the world that we haven’t had a better atmosphere.

“The first day was OK, which was part of the Saudi weekend, but yesterday, to have 300 to 400 in the crowd when you’ve got a 5,000 seater stadium, it just doesn’t create the atmosphere that these great players deserve.”

On Tuesday, Gauff beat Swiatek 6-3 6-4 to lead the Orange group ahead of Thursday’s final group matches. She will face Czechia’s Barbora Krejcikova, while Swiatek will meet Pegula for a spot in the semi-finals.

Aryna Sabalenka, who has been confirmed to end 2024 as the world No. 1, joins Jasmine Paolini, Qinwen Zheng and Elena Rybakina in Purple group.

Fresh calls to reverse DWP Winter Fuel Payment cut as pensioners ‘could die’

A new petition has been launched calling for changes to the Winter Fuel Payment eligibility to be reversed warning pensioners could die as a result of the policy.

The payment previously went out to most people of state pension age, but you now have to also be on a means-tested benefit to get the support, meaning millions of people will no longer get the payment, worth £200 or £300 this year.

A petition has been launched on the Parliament petition website urging for the policy to revert to the its previous eligibility criteria.

The petition reads: “We want the Government to restore the Winter Fuel Payment to how it was paid last winter immediately.

“We are concerned that pensioners could die if MPs do not act, and that the NHS could be under more pressure.”

You can read the petition in full here. At the time of writing, the petition has been signed by around 1,400 people.

Under the new rules, you need to be one of these benefits to get the Winter Fuel Payment:

Pension Credit

Universal Credit

income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)

income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)

Income Support

Child Tax Credit

Working Tax Credit.

If you are set to lose out on the payment this year, it’s worth checking if you can claim Pension Credit, as this is a hugely underclaimed benefit.

The benefit provides an income top-up to support people a low income, providing a top-up up to £218.15 a week if you’re single or up to £332.95 if you have a partner.

People who earn above these amounts may still be eligible, as there are additional payments depending on your circumstances, such as if you care for another adult.

Claiming the support opens up access to a host of other Government support, including free TV licences for those aged 75 and over.

People on the benefit can also get council tax discounts and help with NHS dental treatment and other healthcare.

The incredible ‘island of eternal spring’ where it’s 20C in winter 06/11/2024

The incredible ‘island of eternal spring’ where it’s 20C in winter

As the long and cold winter nights set in, many may be tempted to plan a break to sunnier and warmer climates.

The Caribbean and Southeast Asia are popular destinations for those wanting to escape the winter blues.

However, there is a port of call closer to home that can offer the perfect antidote to the bleak and dreary British winter.

Often referred to as the “island of eternal spring,” the Portuguese archipelago of Madeira is less than a four-hour flight from the UK.

The volcanic island is located in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Morocco and boasts a subtropical climate.

In the winter months, there are at least five hours of sunshine a day, and temperatures normally range between 18C and 20C.

Regardless of the time of year, the island is always decked out with a stunning display of flowers – some of which include hydrangeas, birds of paradise, orchids and lilies.

In the spring, the island holds its famous Madeira Flower Festival, followed by a procession of floats descending upon Funchal, the capital city.

The picturesque city is laid out like an amphitheatre around the bay and features cobbled streets, splendid parks and gardens, charming little squares, and Portuguese colonial architecture.

Visitors can take a ride on Funchal’s cable car to get a bird’ s-eye view of the city before descending in a wicker basket.

This was once a traditional means of transport for the locals, helping them navigate the steep and cobbled streets of the city.

Madeira is famous for its wildlife – particularly its whales and dolphins – lush vegetation, and diverse landscapes.

The Laurissilva forest is the largest surviving primary laurel forest in the world and has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It is home to around 80 species of endemic plants and is dotted with waterfalls, including the most famous, “Caldeiro Verde”, which falls from 100 metres.

The island also has some iconic alcoholic beverages, such as Madeira wine.

Poncha is another local speciality made with aguardiente de cana, honey, sugar, and orange or lemon juice.

The bad politics of immigration: Crackdowns help no one and hurt all of us

Immigration and the 50 million people in this country who were foreign born have been an unfair target for both political parties in this election. America needs immigrants and the economy would fall apart without their work.

Man Utd-bound Ruben Amorim lets Viktor Gyokeres plan slip after Man City thrashing

Ruben Amorim appeared to accidentally let slip Viktor Gyokeres’ transfer plans after he destroyed Manchester City in Sporting’s stunning 4-1 win on Tuesday night. The 26-year-old striker scored a hat-trick against the Premier League champions to make Amorim’s Jose Alvalade Stadium farewell memorable.

Phil Foden’s fourth-minute opener preceded Gyokeres’ equalising strike and Maximiliano Araujo’s go-ahead goal before the former added two penalties in a Champions League rout.

The Sweden international’s dominant display intensified speculation about whether he could join Amorim in moving to the Premier League.

Amorim will oversee his final match as Sporting boss at Braga this weekend before starting work at Manchester United on Monday.

The 39-year-old refused to hint at Gyokeres potentially following him through the doors at Old Trafford next summer out of respect for Sporting.

“No, no, no. I cannot be funny with that in this moment,” Amorim told TNT Sports after the final whistle in Lisbon.

“It was tough for me to leave. If I start joking about that with Gyokeres, I’ll have problems. This is my city, this is my country, so I will respect.”

He then seemingly confirmed that Gyokeres planned to move elsewhere next summer before quickly changing the wording of his answer.

Amorim added: “Viktor has to stay until the end of the season and then his life is going some… maybe, somewhere else.”

The Sporting boss doubled down on his refusal to pursue Gyokeres before the end of the season in a separate interview.

“I’ve just made peace with the Sporting fans, I’m not even going to make a joke about it,” the Portuguese tactician explained.

“Gyokeres is a Sporting player, which is a great club, he did a lot for it, he was in the second division, he just has to stay and finish the season at Marques.”

Coventry City sold Gyokeres to Sporting for a club-record fee in the summer of 2023, and he has since established himself as one of the world’s most prolific strikers.

The former Swansea City and Brighton and Hove Albion frontman has scored 66 goals and registered 19 assists in 67 appearances for the Lions, including netting 23 times in 17 outings this season.

He has recorded the same goal total as United’s players combined this term, emphasising the attacking improvements Amorim must oversee in Manchester.

Bringing Gyokeres with him to Old Trafford at the end of the campaign would go a long way in supporting that task.

Two word phrase that could make your workday much more enjoyable 06/11/2024

Two word phrase that could make your workday much more enjoyable

We’re now halfway through International Stress Awareness Week, with each of us encouraged to do a little bit more to lighten our loads. With much of our time spent working, our day-to-day can be a source of stress for many.

But office experts have shared a tip to improve stress levels while at work, and it’s as simple as uttering two words. According to a spokesperson at Furniture at Work, feeling connected to those around you can significantly reduce stress by creating an environment where employees feel seen, supported, and valued.

They said: “Starting your workday by simply saying ‘good morning’ to your colleagues might seem trivial, but it carries more weight than you think.

“These brief interactions lay the foundation for a sense of belonging and community within the workplace. This sense of community acts as a buffer against daily stressors, making challenges feel more manageable. For Stress Awareness Week, it’s important to highlight any actionable steps that boost morale and create a supportive work environment.

“Engaging in friendly greetings can set a positive tone for the day, reminding us that we’re part of a team and not just isolated workers, which can help alleviate stress and improve overall well-being.”
