Embattled Japanese automaker Nissan has tapped Jeremie Papin, who was overseeing its U.S. operations, as its chief operating officer in a major management reshuffle billed as key to a turnaround. The move was announced in the United States on Thursday. It means Papin, chairman of Nissan’s Americas Management Committee, replaces Stephen Ma, who will oversee Nissan Motor Corp’s China operations. Ma’s replacement had been speculated about for some time, given Nissan’s problems in the key U.S. market, lately dominated by Tesla, Toyota and Ford. Last month, Nissan said it was slashing 9,000 jobs, or about 6% of its global work force, and reducing global production capacity by 20% after reporting a quarterly loss of 9.3 billion yen. That was a reversal from the 190.7 billion yen profit recorded the same quarter a year ago. Sales for the quarter through September fell to 2.9 trillion yen from 3.1 trillion yen. Chief Executive Makoto Uchida took a 50% pay cut to take responsibility for the results and acknowledged Nissan needed to become more efficient and respond better to market tastes, rising costs and other global changes. “These executive changes reflect the experience and urgency needed to get the company back on track,” Uchida said in a statement. “Nissan will continue to focus on future growth and steadily execute these turnaround efforts to ensure sustainable profitability.” Papin will steer a recovery, given his experience in strategy, business development and investment banking, according to Nissan, which makes the Leaf electric car, Rogue SUV and Infiniti luxury models. As part of the moves, effective Jan 1, Christian Meunier, the former chief executive of Jeep, returns to Nissan as chairman of the Americas Management Committee. Asako Hoshino will continue to oversee the customer experience, while Shohei Yamazaki, China Management Committee chairman, takes over a part of her role and will oversee the Japan-ASEAN region. Last month, Fitch lowered its outlook on Nissan from stable to negative, citing its performance in the North American market, noting it may lower its ratings if weakness continues. Nissan’s stock price has declined steadily over the last half year from about 500 yen to about 360 yen. The appointment of Guillaume Cartier as chief performance officer, a key figure in coordinating the managerial shifts, took effect Dec 1. He previously oversaw Nissan’s operations in Africa, the Middle East, India, Europe and Oceania. More changes are coming in April, according to Nissan, “to build a slimmer, flatter management structure that can respond flexibly and swiftly to changes in the business environment.”Global Launch Of “Chinese Visual Key Input Method” Successfully Held In DubaiNVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) Shares Down 2.9% – Here’s What Happened

Artificial intelligence. Abortion. Guns. Marijuana. Minimum wages. Name a hot topic, and chances are good there's a new law about it taking effect in 2025 in one state or another. Many of the laws launching in January are a result of legislation passed this year. Others stem from ballot measures approved by voters. Some face legal challenges. Here's a look at some of the most notable state laws taking effect: FILE - Director of Photography Jac Cheairs and his son, actor Wyatt Cheairs, 11, take part in a rally by striking writers and actors outside Netflix studio in Los Angeles on Friday, July 14, 2023. (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File) California, home to Hollywood and some of the largest technology companies, is seeking to rein in the artificial intelligence industry and put some parameters around social media stars. New laws seek to prevent the use of digital replicas of Hollywood actors and performers without permission and allow the estates of dead performers to sue over unauthorized AI use. Parents who profit from social media posts featuring their children will be required to set aside some earnings for their young influencers. A new law also allows children to sue their parents for failing to do so. FILE - In advance of Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri's Congressional testimony, to illustrate the harms children face on social media, parent activists brought an "Instagrinch" to the Capitol building in Washington, Dec. 7, 2021. (Eric Kayne/AP Images for ParentsTogether, File) New social media restrictions in several states face court challenges. A Florida law bans children under 14 from having social media accounts and requires parental consent for ages 14 and 15. But enforcement is being delayed because of a lawsuit filed by two associations for online companies, with a hearing scheduled for late February. A new Tennessee law also requires parental consent for minors to open accounts on social media. NetChoice, an industry group for online businesses, is challenging the law. Another new state law requires porn websites to verify that visitors are at least 18 years old. But the Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult entertainment industry, has filed a challenge. Several new California measures aimed at combating political deepfakes are also being challenged, including one requiring large social media platforms to remove deceptive content related to elections and another allowing any individual to sue for damages over the use of AI to create fabricated images or videos in political ads.

(Anjali Sharif-Paul/The Orange County Register via AP, File) In a first nationally, California will start enforcing a law prohibiting school districts from adopting policies that require staff to notify parents if their children change their gender identification. The law was a priority for Democratic lawmakers who wanted to halt such policies passed by several districts. FILE - Christian F. Nunes, president of National Organization for Women speaks as abortion rights activists and Women's March leaders protest as part of a national day of strike actions outside the Supreme Court, Monday, June 24, 2024, in Washington. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein, File) Many states have passed laws limiting or protecting abortion rights since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a nationwide right to the procedure in 2022. One of the latest is the Democratic-led state of Delaware. A law there will require the state employee health plan and Medicaid plans for lower-income residents to cover abortions with no deductible, copayments or other cost-sharing requirements. FILE - Gov. Tim Walz speaks before a crowd gathered for a rally on the steps of the state Capitol in St. Paul, Minn., Wednesday evening, Aug. 7, 2019. Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, center left, and his wife Gwen Walz, center right, stand by him. (Jeff Wheeler/Star Tribune via AP, File) A new Minnesota law prohibits guns with "binary triggers" that allow for more rapid fire, causing a weapon to fire one round when the trigger is pulled and another when it is released. In Delaware, a law adds colleges and universities to a list of school zones where guns are prohibited, with exceptions for those working in their official capacity such as law officers and commissioned security guards. Kentucky is becoming the latest state to let people use marijuana for medical purposes. To apply for a state medical cannabis card, people must get written certification from a medical provider of a qualifying condition, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, epilepsy, chronic nausea or post-traumatic stress disorder. Nearly four-fifths of U.S. states have now legalized medical marijuana. Minimum wage workers in more than 20 states are due to receive raises in January. The highest minimum wages will be in Washington, California and Connecticut, all of which will top $16 an hour after modest increases. The largest increases are scheduled in Delaware, where the minimum wage will rise by $1.75 to $15 an hour, and in Nebraska, where a ballot measure approved by voters in 2022 will add $1.50 to the current minimum of $12 an hour. Twenty other states still follow the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. FILE - A man talks on his cell phone while driving in Los Angeles, Monday June 30, 2008. (AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian, File) In Oregon, using drugs on public transit will be considered a misdemeanor crime of interfering with public transportation. While the measure worked its way through the legislature, multiple transportation officials said drug use on buses and trains, and at transit stops and stations, was making passengers and drivers feel less safe. In Missouri, law enforcement officers have spent the past 16 months issuing warnings to motorists that handheld cellphone use is illegal. Starting with the new year, penalties will kick in: a $150 fine for the first violation, progressing to $500 for third and subsequent offenses and up to 15 years imprisonment if a driver using a cellphone cause an injury or death. But police must notice a primary violation, such as speeding or weaving across lanes, to cite motorists for violating the cellphone law. Montana is the only state that hasn't banned texting while driving, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. FILE - Surrounded by members of the legislature and signs touting saving families money, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly announces her 'Axe the Food Tax' campaign at Dillons grocery store in Topeka, Kan., Monday, Nov. 8, 2021 by holding an axe. (Evert Nelson/The Capital-Journal via AP, File) Tenants in Arizona will no longer have to pay tax on their monthly rent, thanks to the repeal of a law that had allowed cities and towns to impose such taxes. While a victory for renters, the new law is a financial loss for governments. An analysis by Arizona's nonpartisan Joint Legislative Budget Committee estimated that $230 million would be lost in municipal tax revenue during the first full fiscal year of implementation. Meanwhile Alabama will offer tax credits to businesses that help employees with child care costs. Kansas is eliminating its 2% sales tax on groceries. It also is cutting individual income taxes by dropping the top tax rate, increasing a credit for child care expenses and exempting all Social Security income from taxes, among other things. Taxpayers are expected to save about $320 million a year going forward. FILE - Election board inspector Pat Cook readies "I Voted" stickers for voters during early voting in Oklahoma City, Friday, Oct. 29, 2010. (AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki, File) An Oklahoma law expands voting privileges to people who have been convicted of felonies but had their sentences discharged or commuted, including commutations for crimes that have been reclassified from felonies to misdemeanors. Former state Sen. George Young, an Oklahoma City Democrat, carried the bill in the Senate. "I think it's very important that people who have gone through trials and tribulations in their life, that we have a system that brings them back and allows them to participate as contributing citizens," Young said.

She started as a YouTuber, then appeared in reality TV and music videos , later releasing her own singles and albums . Currently, Trisha has over 20 million followers across her social channels and hosts her own podcast called Just Trish . She recently posted a TikTok of herself attending the Wicked premiere , and that video alone has nearly 3 million views. People love Trish; you get it. So, it's no surprise that clips of her recent SNL appearance have been circling TikTok this entire week, garnering well over 30 million views on the platform. However, if you search "Trisha SNL" on TikTok, you will see several viral videos featuring an old clip of Frenemies , which was a podcast hosted by Trisha and YouTuber Ethan Klein from 2020 to 2021. In the clip, Ethan first talks about how he doesn't want to be on SNL because it "would be a lot of work." To that, Trisha happily shares that she would love to. This is when Ethan says, "If you go on Saturday Night Live ...I will cut my arm off." Trish responds, saying, "Okay, I don't want you to cut your arm off, Jesus." Ethan then reiterates that he will cut his arm off if she ever gets on SNL . Fast-forward to this past Saturday, three years after the arm-cutting statement, when Trisha made her first SNL appearance in a Spotify Wrapped skit, featuring host for that night, actor Paul Mescal. The SNL sketch features fake artist Satoshi Gutman (played by Bowen Yang), who happens to be Paul's character's number-one artist on Spotify Wrapped. "Thank you from the bottom of my ass for being one of my top listeners of 2024. Now, let's hear my hit 'Y'all Made Me Celabite': 'I was normal, but then y'all made me celibate. I was a nympho, y'all asses made me celibate.' Loving life for the New Year, baby," says Satoshi in the clip. The characters end up watching a clip of one of Satoshi's podcast episodes featuring Trisha Paytas. And Trisha — who is playing herself in this fake podcast clip — excitedly greets listeners with, "Hey, bastards!" Followed by a line with Satoshi, "The best bussy is celibacy." Satoshi and Trisha end up at the house, and the gang dances to Satoshi's song together. Besides people acknowledging how iconic Trisha's appearance was... Commenters started to recall Ethan's comment about amputating his arm if this ever happened. Ethan ended up making a response video , joking that one of his crew members was going to cut his arm off and he was going to mail it to her. And this has now opened a broader discussion about how unique Trisha's career is. First of all, people are saying that Trisha playing herself on SNL says a lot about her popularity. In fact, appearing on the Just Trish podcast this week, actor, comedian, and SNL writer Bowen Yang said, "I love you...I have followed you from the beginning," before calling her a comedic genius. Many of them mark SNL as a big moment for Trish, especially since sharing how living online has affected her mental health . Trisha is often praised for her continuous interaction and honesty with her fans, no matter how big she has gotten. In fact, it was just announced that she is releasing a music video where her fans voted on key elements like the production vibe and lyrical themes. It comes as no surprise it is called "Mother" — a name that has been coined to her by fans — and is set to drop Dec. 17 on her Patreon for free . Lastly, people are saying this is just plain proof of manifestation. Especially after she made a video of herself pretending to be on SNL back in 2020. Well, Trish is clearly manifesting more because she will be ON BROADWAY in February . Doing big things, and we love to see it!Trump calls for end to 'spring forward, fall back' clock changes

Clayton added 12 rebounds for the Bobcats (2-4). Aidan Hadaway scored 13 points while going 5 of 12 from the floor, including 1 for 6 from 3-point range, and 2 for 3 from the line and added eight rebounds. Victor Searls had 11 points and finished 5 of 8 from the field. The Pilots (2-4) were led by Vukasin Masic, who posted 17 points. Portland also got 13 points and seven rebounds from A.Rapp. Max Mackinnon also recorded 10 points and seven rebounds. Clayton scored 14 points in the first half to help Ohio up 46-30 at the break. Ohio pulled away with a 7-0 run in the second half to extend its lead to 19 points. Clayton led the way with a team-high 20 second-half points. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .Patriots coach Jerod Mayo heard the ‘Fire Mayo’ chants and understands crowd’s frustrationsSeattle Seahawks receiver is DK Metcalf is just fine when he doesn't have the the ball because it means he gets to showcase his blocking skills. “I just look at it as a sign of respect that I’ve gained from other defensive coordinators and just continue to do my job with it as blocking or being a decoy,” the two-time Pro Bowler said. While opposing defenses have keyed in on Metcalf, other aspects of Seattle's offense have surfaced during its four-game winning streak. The run has the Seahawks (8-5) sitting atop the NFC West heading into Sunday night's game against the visiting Green Bay Packers (9-4). Geno Smith's new top target is second-year receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who needs 89 receiving yards for his first career 1,000-yard season. Smith-Njigba has 75 catches for 911 yards and five touchdowns, while Metcalf, often dealing with double coverage, has 54 catches for 812 yards and two scores. Metcalf says he feels the pride of a “proud parent or a big brother” when it comes to Smith-Njigba's success. Seattle's offense also got a boost from the ground game in a 30-18 victory over the Arizona Cardinals last weekend . Zach Charbonnet, filling in for the injured Kenneth Walker III, ran for a career-best 134 yards and two touchdowns. The Seahawks face another hot team in the Packers (9-4), who have won seven of nine. Green Bay's two losses over that stretch have come against NFC-best Detroit (12-1), including a 34-31 victory by the Lions on Dec. 5, which means the NFC North title is likely out of reach for the Packers. The Packers are well-positioned for a playoff berth, but that almost certainly won't come this weekend. They would need a win, a loss or tie by the Atlanta Falcons and a tie between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers. Metcalf, who learned to block from his father, former Chicago Bears offensive lineman Terrence Metcalf, says he tries to take blocking seriously to set himself apart from other receivers. His priorities are simple when he's getting double-teamed and the ball goes elsewhere. “Trying to block my (butt) off and trying to get pancakes on defensive backs,” he said. When the Packers surged their way into the playoffs last season, quarterback Jordan Love was a major reason why. He had 18 touchdown passes and one interception during Green Bay's final eight games. During the last four games of this season, Love ranks third in the NFL with a 118.9 passer rating with six touchdowns, one interception and a league-best 10.3 yards per attempt. “I always feel like I can put the ball where I want to — and that’s part of it, too, having that confidence to be able to throw those passes,” Love said. “There’s always like I said a handful of plays that might not come off or be in the exact spot that you wanted it to or the throw might be a little bit off. So, that’s where you’ve just got to try to be at your best every play, be consistent and accurate as possible.” Green Bay’s pass defense has been picked apart the last two weeks. First, it was torched by Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins in a Packers win. Next, it allowed Jared Goff to complete his final 13 passes as the Lions rallied to victory. It won’t get any easier this week. Smith is second in the NFL in attempts, completions and passing yards and is fifth in completion percentage. “It’s been a remarkable turnaround for him in terms of just where he started,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. “It’s not always where you start, but where you finish. And it tells me a lot about the person in terms of his resiliency and ability to fight through some adversity. He’s a dangerous quarterback.” The potential return of former All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) could help the Packers. Will the Packers break out their head-to-toe white uniforms? The last time Green Bay wore the winter white look was in a 24-22 win over Houston in October. The Packers asked fans to weigh in on social media . As for the Seahawks, they'll be sporting their “Action Green” uniforms. Metcalf is a fan. “I would say this about the Action Green, I love them personally in my opinion, but the big guys hate them. I don’t know why, don’t ask me," he said. “Hopefully, the Packers wear all white, so it’ll be a fun-looking game.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

However, the entire process has been delayed as nominations are yet to be filed. After completing the nomination process for 1918 posts of mandal chiefs (adhyaksh) across the state on December 15 in 98 districts, the party had to complete the nomination process for district presidents by December 31. However, the final list of elected mandal chiefs is yet to be declared. The BJP has divided the state into 98 districts for organisational purposes. “Nomination process for election of district presidents is yet to start. The election process was to be completed by the end of this year. Now, most likely it will be completed in January,” said a senior BJP leader. “There is nothing unusual in this delay. Elections get delayed. Next month, the process will be completed,” he added. While electing mandal adhyaksh and district presidents, the party will focus on giving maximum representation to OBCs and Dalits. “In organisational polls, OBC and Dalit factors will matter most while electing mandal and district chiefs as part of the party’s plan to bring back these two politically important caste groups back into the party fold,” said a senior BJP leader. In four successive poll victories in Uttar Pradesh—2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha and 2017, 2022 assembly polls—the BJP managed the most diverse representation minus Muslims by keeping its caste umbrella intact—broadly non-Jatav Dalits, non-Yadav OBCs and upper castes. In the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the SP’s PDA formulation succeeded in bringing a large chunk of OBC and Dalits into its fold, giving a jolt to the BJP. The BJP’s tally in Uttar Pradesh came down to 33 in the last Lok Sabha election from 62 in 2019.

“If You Go On SNL, I Will Cut My Arm Off”: Here’s The Tea Behind Why Tens Of Millions Of People Haven't Stopped Talking About Trisha Paytas Being On SNLMinutes after the University of North Carolina announced it had hired Bill Belichick as its next head football coach, the Tar Heels’ Instagram account posted a photo of the legendary NFL coach — at no more than 3 years old — sitting in the UNC bleachers. “Welcome home, Coach,” the post reads, dredging up the memory of when the young Belichick shadowed his father, Steve, who was a UNC assistant from 1953 to 1955. As news of his hiring spread around the NFL world, the reaction ranged from excitement at seeing him back on the sideline to disbelief. The most decorated coach in NFL history after earning six Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots, and two more as the defensive coordinator with the New York Giants, Belichick is officially making his next challenge college football after agreeing to a five-year deal with UNC. “I will have to see him on the sideline to believe that’s happening,” Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury joked Thursday. “We’ll see how the NFL job search goes and all that. I will have to see him on the sideline coaching in Chapel Hill to believe that’s happening." While Belichick’s knowledge of the sport, and his success, are unquestioned, there has been debate among those who have played for the 72-year-old coach during his 40-plus years in football about how well his style will translate to the college game. Some of his former players believe his skill set will work at any level. That list apparently includes Tom Brady, the quarterback during all six of Belichick’s Super Bowl wins with New England. “Congrats, coach. The Tar Heel way is about to become a thing,” Brady posted on Instagram on Thursday, referencing “The Patriot Way” that he popularized in New England. Some cautioned that the players he brings into the UNC program should prepare to have their limits tested like never before. “I think he’s going to do good,” said Patriots receiver Kendrick Bourne, who played under Belichick during his final three years in New England. “Bill does a good job of developing players, developing young men. I think it will be a challenge for the young man. He’s a tough coach, which we all know. But I think it will be good for certain players that have the right mindset.” Bourne's advice? Always stay locked in mentally. “Just stay tough,” Bourne said. “Have a gritty mindset because it’s not going to be easy, but in the end, it’s going to be worth it." Though some have questioned why the Tar Heels would even consider hiring Belichick after parting ways with 73-year-old Mack Brown this season, current Patriots coach Jerod Mayo said good coaching is ageless. “To me, it doesn’t matter if you’re a young man or a 10-year vet in the league, he’s a great teacher,” said Mayo, who played eight seasons under Belichick, winning a Super Bowl during the 2014 season, and then succeeded him as head coach after last season. "I wish him nothing but the best. It doesn’t really matter what level, I think he’ll be successful.” NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders is a relative newcomer to the college game himself. He spent three seasons at Jackson State before going to Colorado in 2023. In a message posted to the X social media platform, he welcomed Belichick as a competitor. “Coach Bill Belichick is a coaches coach to all us Coaches along with my man coach (Nick) Saban,” Sanders posted. “They’re game changers and they know how to move people forward. I know this is a great thing for College Football & for North Carolina. God bless u Coach, if you’re happy I am 2.” But former Patriots defensive back Je’Rod Cherry wonders how well Belichick’s old-school coaching style will be received in an era in which in-your-face methods don't always fly as well as they did when Belichick began his career. “You can’t coach hard anymore,” Cherry said during an appearance on ESPN GameNight. “You can’t yell at guys, curse at guys and that’s what he does. You are going to have to find guys who are going to accept that brand of coaching and will accept someone constantly getting on them." New York Jets safety Jalen Mills, who played for Belichick with the Patriots from 2021 to 2023, said he was surprised by the news. “I thought he definitely was going to try to wait it out until after the season and come back to the NFL,” Mills said. "But I think it’s gonna be a good thing for him because now you get a guy who has won and, of course, he’s going to try to turn that program around. But he also gets to connect with the younger generation and kind of modify and adjust to this younger generation of football on top of what he already knows. So I think that’ll just help him as far as coaching. And then, of course, he’ll give those guys, those young guys, structure as far as what the NFL looks like, too.” Just how much the Belichick on the college sidelines will resemble the one in the cutoff hooded sweatshirt who patrolled NFL sidelines is unclear. Belichick hinted they will be one and the same. During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on ESPN prior to agreeing to the UNC job, Belichick laid out what his approach at the college level would be. “The program would be a pipeline to the NFL for the players than have the ability to play in the NFL,” Belichick said. “It would be a professional program — training, nutrition, scheme, coaching, techniques — that would transfer to the NFL. It would be an NFL program at a college level.”

No safari after 7pm at Jawai: CopsThree refugees working for Stitch Buffalo have been helping outfit Bills fans for the past three years by making popular Flintstone-inspired hats for Water Buffalo Club 716 , but none of them has ever been to a Bills or an NFL game. That will change on Sunday. Members of the Water Buffalo Club pose for a group photo while tailgating outside Highmark Stadium on Nov. 3. Three refugee women who have been working with Stitch Buffalo to make fan-centric Bills gear will attend their first game this weekend. The Water Buffalo Club is taking Munawara Sultan of Pakistan, Palwasha Basir of Afghanistan and Hkawng Lung of Burma as guests to Highmark Stadium for their first Bills game experience. Buffalo hosts the New York Jets starting at 1 p.m. “We are uniting the global community of Buffalo Bills fans into one family and introducing them to the Bills Mafia,” said Therese Forton-Barnes, founder and Grand Poobah of the Water Buffalo Club. As they started making the hats, Sultan, Basir and Lung soon learned about the team, and now cheer them on and love saying “Go Bills,” Forton-Barnes said. “They are three remarkable, hardworking women who have been torn from their home countries due to their religion, social unrest or the Taliban taking over,” she said. “They now love their new home in Buffalo, and we want to show them a total game experience.” With more than 6,200 members worldwide – including celebrity and notable supporters and honorary members – the Water Buffalo Club was formed several years ago as a fun way to bring fans together locally and internationally via a signature hat that represents the unity and family bond of a herd. Palwasha Basir, a tailor from of Afghanistan, is one of three refugees working for Stitch Buffalo who will be attending their first Buffalo Bills game. The hat collection includes dedicated hats that create awareness for multiple social good initiatives, with every deluxe hat made in Buffalo by local artisan refugees who are better able to support their families thanks to the demand for the products. Forton-Barnes, who runs an event marketing company, got things started at a January 2021 wild-card round game against the Indianapolis Colts. She wanted to do something unique after being unable to attend games the entire regular season due to Covid restrictions. So, she and a friend put on Flintstone-inspired furry hats with horns on the sides and a red buffalo on the front and wore big furry coats. The hats really caught on. Since then, thousands of hats have been sold and she’s shipped them to fans in places like Mexico, Australia, Spain and Canada, along with nearly every state in America. Wearing one automatically makes a fan a member of the club, including star QB Josh Allen's parents, Joel and Lavonne Allen. Paul Kraft wears a Water Buffalo Club 716 hat with a No. 3 on it in support of Damar Hamlin during a tailgate at Highmark Stadium. Stitch Buffalo’s artisans are considered consigners, who make money from the textile art they create. Almost all the money from goods sold out of Stitch’s storefront goes back to the consigners. That’s why making these hats has been so important for the likes of Lung, Basir and Sultana. “Ongoing projects like this provide a reliable source of income for the women making them,” Dawne Hoeg, the founder and executive director at Stitch, previously told The News. “For Stitch Buffalo, the collaboration has put our programs and products in front of a whole new audience.” The Water Buffalo Club tailgates at the Big Tree Inn parking lot on the corner of Abbott Road and Big Tree Road, and will be taking a group photo with the ladies prior to the game at 10:30 a.m. The business news you need Get the latest local business news delivered FREE to your inbox weekly.
