Where is Santa at the moment? His 2024 Christmas flight can be mapped using the NORAD tracker.

Santa Claus is getting ready for his yearly journey from the North Pole to homes all across the world on this Christmas Eve. Following decades of custom, the North American Aerospace Command, or NORAD, will once again use an official map that is regularly updated to display Santa’s current location as he makes his way to distribute gifts to children before Christmas 2024. Since 1958, NORAD, the organization in charge of keeping an eye on and protecting the airspace over the United States and Canada, has kept tabs on Santa’s location annually. Before NORAD took control, the project was managed for three years by its predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command. As the tracker plots Santa’s path for Christmas, here are several things to be aware of. Where is Santa at the moment? As Santa continues his journey across the globe, NORAD updates its map in real time to reflect his current location. Check out NORAD’s website’s live map to track Santa’s progress, or subscribe to the agency’s Facebook, X, Instagram, and YouTube sites for sporadic updates throughout the day. Santa will arrive at your house when? The map cannot forecast when Santa will reach any particular home, even while the NORAD tracker shows where he is at various stages during his journey around the globe so you can see how far away Santa is from you. NORAD claims that while its intelligence enables the tracker to follow Saint Nick on his Christmas tour, it is unable to predict his itinerary or his next destination after he stops at one place. “Only Santa knows his route, which means we cannot predict where and when he will arrive at your house,” NORAD states on its website. “We do, however, know from history that it appears he arrives only when children are asleep!” Santa usually shows up at people’s houses between 9 p.m. and midnight on…

Anderson Township’s unionized Starbucks employees join the national walkout

Ohio’s Anderson Township — As part of an expanding movement spearheaded by the Starbucks Workers United union, employees at the Anderson Township shop formally joined the nationwide strike on Tuesday morning. As one of hundreds of locations calling for higher pay, better scheduling, and better working conditions, the local business joined the union in July. Up to 10,000 employees are participating in the Anderson Township strike, which is happening at up to 500 stores around the country. Strikes have been part of these attempts, which started on Saturday, in major U.S. centers, including Columbus. A $20 hourly minimum wage, entirely employer-funded healthcare, and better benefits like equitable vacation and sick leave policies are among the demands made by unionized workers. Citing persistent worries about poor pay, understaffing, and what they claim to be harassment and unjust disciplinary measures, they also want legal guarantees on fundamental workplace rights. The initiative highlights more general dissatisfaction among Starbucks workers. Employees have also pointed to malfunctioning machinery and erratic scheduling as obstacles to delivering high-quality service and preserving job happiness. Along with other area unionized stores, the Anderson Township site joins the 2022 unionization of the downtown Cincinnati branch on West 4th and Vine. Although a strike at the downtown store has not been confirmed, the effort is indicative of the Starbucks Workers United campaign’s increasing traction. Workers expect to draw attention to their demands, which include more equitable treatment under Starbucks’ new leadership, as the strike continues. The union is intensifying its demand for reform, with picket lines visible in towns all throughout the nation. The corporate leadership of Starbucks is still negotiating.

The incident happened in the third delivery of the opening over, and Babar Azam’s graceful stroke quickly drew similarities to Virat Kohli’s famous cover drive. The Shot of the Day for Babar AzamIt was a truly elegant moment from Babar Azam. Babar leaned into the shot with his usual composure after Marco Jansen produced a full delivery just outside off stump. The ball flew through the cover point area for a spectacular boundary after a brilliantly performed cover drive. Fans were reminded of Virat Kohli’s same skill in the same shot, and it was a beautiful stroke that displayed Babar’s technique and natural flair. South Africa chose to bowl first after winning the toss earlier in the game, and it proved to be a wise move. After a difficult performance in the previous game, Pakistan’s opener Abdullah Shafique was out for a duck in the opening over of the innings by Marco Jansen. Shafique was sent back to the dressing room without bothering the scorekeepers when Jansen’s full ball snuck in slightly and struck the inside edge of his bat. Babar Azam, who has frequently saved his team from difficult situations, will be the center of attention as the game goes on. Pakistan will be hoping that he can continue to lead the Men in Green’s innings after his early success today.
