TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Belarus has granted asylum to a former Polish judge who faced espionage charges at home following his defection in May to the Kremlin-allied country. A decree published Friday by Alexander Lukashenko, Belarus’ autocratic president, described Tomasz Szmydt as being “prosecuted for political reasons” in Poland. The country is an EU and NATO member that has lent vocal support to Ukraine in its war against Russian aggression . Szmydt’s defection to Belarus in May trained the focus on Poland as a key target for Russian intelligence activity and ignited a bitter political row over the circumstances of his rapid ascent through the ranks of the Polish justice system. Poland’s prosecutors and special services launched an investigation the same month after Belarus media reported that Szmydt arrived in the country and asked for protection. Warsaw responded days later by putting Szmydt on a wanted list , a step toward an international arrest warrant on spying allegations that would restrict his ability to travel internationally. Polish officials have been working to determine how harmful Szmydt’s knowledge of any classified information might be to the interests of Warsaw and its Western allies. Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk has publicly called him a traitor. Szmydt fled to Belarus after resigning from his post as a judge at the Warsaw Administrative Court, saying in a public statement that he was doing so in protest against Poland’s “harmful and unjust” policy toward Belarus and Russia. A short time later, he appeared at a press conference in Belarus, praising Lukashenko’s regime and presenting himself as a victim of repression. A Polish court later that month lifted Szmydt’s immunity, allowing him to be tried in absentia for spying allegations that he has denied. Szmydt was notorious in Poland for having engaged in a 2019 online smear campaign against other judges that was sponsored by the Justice Ministry under the previous right-wing government . Three years later, he appeared to switch sides, appearing in a TV documentary to expose what he said was unethical behavior by judges close to the ruling party. Szmydt’s defection came as a shock in Poland, which has a history of distrust of Russia. Belarus has been one of the Kremlin’s few close allies since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and Lukashenko has relied on Moscow's subsidies and support. In return, he has allowed Moscow to use Belarusian territory to send troops and weapons into the neighboring state, and to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian soil. Authorities in Minsk have been ratcheting up repressive measures ahead of a presidential election in January in which the strongman leader is seeking a seventh term, including by arresting hundreds of people who have shown solidarity with Kyiv. Authorities responded to massive protests following the widely disputed 2020 election of Lukashenko with a wide-ranging crackdown in which about 65,000 people were arrested. Major opposition figures were either imprisoned or fled the country, and human rights activists say Belarus is holding about 1,300 political prisoners.

The ongoing Canada Post strike has reached the three-week mark as the two sides continue to trade proposals through a government-appointed mediator. The work stoppage centres around a variety of issues, including disputes over wages and weekend delivery. Here’s a snapshot of the issues underpinning the standoff between the Crown corporation and union. Wage increases The Canadian Union of Postal Workers, which represents 55,000 Canada Post workers, said at the start of the strike that wage increases must be kept in line with inflation, with cost-of-living adjustment payments rolled into the basic wage rate. The union initially called for a cumulative wage hike of 24 per cent over four years. CUPW negotiator Jim Gallant said that figure has moved since the start of negotiations, but declined to comment on the union’s latest proposal. “We have just lived through the worst cost of living crisis in a generation,” the union’s national president Jan Simpson said in a post on Tuesday. Canada Post says it has offered what it calls “competitive” wage increases totalling 11.5 per cent over four years and more paid leave. It notes labour costs rose by $242 million in 2023, or about 6.5 per cent, compared with 2022. The organization declined to comment on Thursday. Weekend delivery One of the main snags in negotiations has been a push to expand delivery to the weekend, but the two sides are at odds over how to staff the expansion. Canada Post has pitched seven-day-a-week delivery as a way to boost revenue and “secure the future of the company” as it struggles to compete with other delivery companies. The Crown corporation says it would staff weekend delivery shifts with a mix of new permanent part-time positions and some full-time, which would “create flexibility while not adding significant long-term fixed costs.” But the union characterizes Canada Post’s proposals as “attacks on full-time work,” accusing the Crown corporation of wanting to increase the part-time mix to more than 50 per cent of the workforce. It says it is concerned some part-timers could be scheduled for as few as eight hours per week and wouldn’t be eligible for benefits until they reach 1,000 hours. “Canada Post has every ability today to deliver parcels on the weekend, inside our collective agreement at straight time,” Gallant said in an interview. “We think it can be done with full-timers ... We’re just saying, ‘Instead of hiring 10 part-timers, you can hire three full time.” Job security and retirement The union has highlighted a number of its demands for better job security, including a request for “improved protections against technological change.” Gallant said Canada Post is “always looking for new technology” that could threaten workers’ duties. “This loading and unloading of trucks by robots is one that they’re really, really looking at (and) forklifts that drive themselves through a plant,” he said. “We’re always afraid.” When it comes to retirement, CUPW says Canada Post wants new workers to accept a defined contribution pension plan, even though its defined benefit pension plan is overfunded by 140 per cent. “All workers deserve the right to retire with dignity, and for us, that means postal workers — present and future — maintain their defined benefit pension plan,” Simpson said. Canada Post says its proposals are “focused on protecting and enhancing what’s important to current employees ... while protecting the defined benefit pension and their job security.” Rural service The union has said it wants job security rights for rural and suburban mail carriers in line with those granted to urban postal workers. It has outlined a number of issues affecting its Rural Suburban Mail Carrier bargaining unit, saying it wants an hourly rate system with appropriate time values, union involvement and “safeguards against (Canada Post’s) unilateral change.” The union says Canada Post must maximize and maintain eight-hour routes for rural workers, grant improved rights for on-call relief employees, and uphold paid meal and rest period rights. It says the Crown corporation must also ensure the bargaining unit’s involvement in service expansion projects. Earlier this week, Simpson called on Canada Post to commit to working with the union “to expand services at the post office including postal banking and electric vehicle charging stations.” Safer working conditions The union has demanded the full elimination of Canada Post’s “separate sort from delivery” system, which entails certain employees spending the entirety of their shifts sorting mail for letter carriers to go out and deliver — as opposed to carriers performing both tasks. It says this system overburdens carriers, who as a result spend more time outdoors and potentially exposed to extreme weather events. “Postal workers suffer the second highest rate of disabling injury among workers under federal jurisdiction, behind only the road transportation sector,” Simpson said. “Growing neighbourhood mail volumes and changing work methods like separate sort-from-delivery are only making things worse.” The union has also proposed increases to short-term disability program payments and injury on duty payments, along with more paid medical days. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 5,2024.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Will Howard passed for two touchdowns and rushed for another, TreVeyon Henderson ran for a score, and No. 2 Ohio State beat previously undefeated No. 5 Indiana 38-15 on Saturday. All Ohio State (10-1, 7-1) has to do now is beat Michigan at home next Saturday and it will earn a return to the Big Ten championship game for the first time since 2020 and get a rematch with No. 1 Oregon. The Ducks beat Ohio State 32-31 in a wild one back on Oct. 12. The Hoosiers (10-1, 7-1) had their best chance to beat the Buckeyes for the first time since 1988 but were hurt by special teams mistakes and disrupted by an Ohio State defense that sacked quarterback Kurtis Rourke five times. Howard finished 22 for 26 for 201 yards. Emeka Egbuka had seven catches for 80 yards and a TD. NO. 4 PENN STATE 26, MINNESOTA 25: Drew Allar passed for 244 yards and a touchdown, rushed for a score and completed a late fourth-down conversion to help visiting Penn State fend off Minnesota and stay on track for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Tyler Warren had eight receptions for 102 yards for the Nittany Lions (10-1, 7-1), who dodged the upset on an afternoon when three other teams in the projected 12-team playoff were beaten. Dragan Kesich's third field goal of the game with 5:48 left brought the Gophers (6-5, 4-4) within one after they had first-and-goal from the 7. NO. 25 ILLINOIS 38, RUTGERS 31: Luke Altmyer found Pat Bryant for a catch-and-run, 40-yard touchdown pass with 4 seconds left, sending Illinois to a wild road victory over Rutgers. Illinois (8-3, 5-3) was down 31-30 when it sent long kicker Ethan Moczulski out for a desperation 58-yard field goal with 14 seconds to go. Rutgers (6-5, 3-5) coach Greg Schiano then called for a timeout right before Moczulski’s attempt was wide left and about 15 yards short. After the missed field goal was waved off by the timeout, Illinois coach Bret Bielema sent his offense back on the field. Altmyer hit Bryant on an in cut on the left side at the 22, and he continued across the field and scored untouched in a game that featured three lead changes in the final 3:07. IOWA 29, MARYLAND 13: Kaleb Johnson rushed for 164 yards and a touchdown on a career-high 35 carries, and Kamari Moulton scored on a 68-yard run in the fourth quarter to help Iowa outlast Maryland in College Park. Johnson scored from 2 yards out in the second quarter for his 21st rushing touchdown of the season, and the Hawkeyes (7-4, 5-3) rebounded from their loss to UCLA in their previous game. Maryland (4-7, 1-7) needed to win its final two regular-season games to reach six wins and bowl eligibility, but the Terrapins were dominated in the first half and eventually fell behind 16-0. Drew Stevens made five field goals for Iowa, including kicks from 54 yards in the second quarter, then 50 and 49 in the third. MICHIGAN 50, NORTHWESTERN 6: Kalel Mullings ran for 92 yards and a career-high three touchdowns, leading Michigan to a home victory over Northwestern to make the defending national champions eligible for a bowl. The Wolverines (6-5, 4-4) needed the victory to secure a spot in the postseason because they will be heavy underdogs next week against rival and second-ranked Ohio State on the road. The Wildcats (4-7, 2-6) likely knock themselves out of contention for a bowl by losing for the fourth time in five games. NEBRASKA 44, WISCONSIN 25: Dylan Raiola threw for 293 yards and a touchdown, Dante Dowdell ran for three scores, and Nebraska beat Wisconsin (5-6, 3-5) at home to become eligible for a bowl for the first time since 2016. Nebraska (6-5, 3-5) stopped a four-game losing streak and beat the Badgers for the first time in 11 meetings. The Cornhuskers sprinted to the Wisconsin sideline as time ran out to claim the Freedom Trophy as students poured out of the stands onto the field to celebrate. The victory was the Cornhuskers' first in nine tries under second-year coach Matt Rhule when playing for bowl eligibility. LATE FRIDAY MICHIGAN STATE 24, PURDUE 17: Aidan Chiles threw for two scores in the first half to build a three-touchdown lead and Michigan State (5-6, 3-5) held on to beat Purdue (1-10, 0-8) at home. The Spartans are a win away from being eligible for a bowl with first-year coach Jonathan Smith and they play Rutgers at home in the final regular-season game. Get local news delivered to your inbox!

YOURSAY | ‘Malaysians often complain online but continue to patronise price-gouging businesses.’ COMMENT | Food prices: The invisible line on profiteering Mazhilamani: To truly understand the atrocities of hellish profiteering, one must go down to the ground, the farming and rearing or breeding community, who toil in inclement weather and are exploited by merciless intermediaries to serve food for Malaysians. Frankly, everyone from the intermediaries, the retailers, and food outlets makes a huge profit, leaving the farming and breeding community feeling enslaved. Take a plate of fried noodles for example. The ingredients that go into it are 100g of noodles, a quarter of a big onion, a clove of garlic, two stalks or leaves of sawi (mustard greens), a whole egg, sambal and ketchup. Together, the cost of the ingredients will amount to less than RM2. A plate of noodles is nothing less than RM6 to RM8 at a restaurant or a profit of 200 to 300 percent. The same applies to all the consumable products. I have often wondered what the B40 feed their infants, I was shocked to learn they feed them “condensed milk”. Some products that pass off as ‘condensed milk’ are made from palm oil. Due to this, how does one avoid developing diabetes at a young age? How can they avoid developing diabetes from a young age? For infant milk powder is beyond the reach of this group. A 1.8kg milk powder is around RM40. A 500g tin of milk powder for babies costs nothing less than RM60. Some brands cost so much more. Even more surprising, many private clinics also recommend and sell infant formula. Veteran journalist R Nadeswaran highlighted this issue at the right time, with the expected salary jump for the public and private sectors. Because of this, prices of food items have already been raised a few months earlier. We can expect another round of price increases. So where lies the fault? Frankly speaking, we have very weak monitoring bodies who call themselves authorities. Existential Turd: The government should be focusing on stopping monopolies, duopolies, oligarchies, and collusion etc. As long as competition is healthy, prices are kept as low as possible. Intermediaries or unscrupulous profiteering businesses are always blamed for high prices, but consumers can vote with their feet by patronising another business. That is if competition is allowed. Unfortunately, the government is most responsible for some of the most egregious monopolistic behaviour. Nadeswaran has mentioned Approved Permits (AP) in the article. Is toll concession another poor decision by the government? KK Voter: Unfortunately, the prices of goods, not just food , are what consumers are willing to pay without boycotting. Malaysians often complain online but continue to patronise price-gouging businesses. A boycott is an effective mechanism for price control (less demand cuts into profits, forcing business owners to reevaluate), provided it is not used for political purposes. Unfortunately, it is often associated with politics and stupidity rather than consumer rights. BrownGopher9516: I agree with Nadeswaran, let the buyer beware. The government should not pass too many laws to control and regulate everything. The many laws reflect the weakness of the nation and the behavioural pattern of the citizenry. Laws do not correct and shape good behaviour and create good men. The leaders must lead properly and behave humanely, with full humility in their character. We the citizenry will then follow. Society will then correct itself. RedSalmon2459: The Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011 applies only when a business increases the price of goods or services. Regardless of how high the price of roti canai is at a hotel, as long as the price remains unchanged, the act is not triggered. However, if the price is raised, the business must be ready to justify the percentage of the increase as reasonable. Drngsc: Consumers must be educated and only patronise stalls or restaurants which serve food and services for fair value. Value for your money, I mean. We must avoid (boycott) those stalls and restaurants that we all know are sharks and barracudas out there to rip us off (unless you wish to be ripped off or be seen to be ripped off). It is all about business. VioletEagle6715: It’s a willing buyer and willing seller market. There is no need to impose more liability on the trader. Jimi: As long as the price of the product is clearly displayed, the customer can make up their own mind if they want to purchase it or not. Malaysia Patriot: It is time the government do more enforcement and monitor profiteering by restaurants to keep our cost of living affordable.

NEW YORK — U.S. stock indexes got back to climbing on Wednesday after the latest update on inflation appeared to clear the way for more help for the economy from the Federal Reserve. The S&P 500 rose 0.8% to break its first two-day losing streak in nearly a month and finished just short of its all-time high. Big Tech stocks led the way, which drove the Nasdaq composite up 1.8% to top the 20,000 level for the first time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, meanwhile, lagged the market with a dip of 99 points, or 0.2%. Stocks got a boost as expectations built that Wednesday's inflation data will allow the Fed to deliver another cut to interest rates at its meeting next week. Traders are betting on a nearly 99% probability of that, according to data from CME Group, up from 89% a day before. If they're correct, it would be a third straight cut by the Fed after it began lowering rates in September from a two-decade high. It's hoping to support a slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. Lower rates would give a boost to the economy and to prices for investments, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. "The data have given the Fed the 'all clear' for next week, and today's inflation data keep a January cut in active discussion," according to Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Expectations for a series of cuts to rates by the Fed have been one of the main reasons the S&P 500 has set an all-time high 57 times this year, with the latest coming last week. The biggest boosts for the index on Wednesday came from Nvidia and other Big Tech stocks. Their massive growth has made them Wall Street's biggest stars for years, though other kinds of stocks have recently been catching up somewhat amid hopes for the broader U.S. economy. Tesla jumped 5.9% to finish above $420 at $424.77. It's a level that Elon Musk made famous in a 2018 tweet when he said he had secured funding to take Tesla private at $420 per share. Stitch Fix soared 44.3% after the company that sends clothes to your door reported a smaller loss for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It also gave financial forecasts for the current quarter that were better than expected, including for revenue. GE Vernova rallied 5% for one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500. The energy company that spun out of General Electric said it would pay a 25 cent dividend every three months, and it approved a plan to send up to another $6 billion to its shareholders by buying back its own stock. On the losing end of Wall Street, Dave & Buster's Entertainment tumbled 20.1% after reporting a worse loss for the latest quarter than expected. It also said CEO Chris Morris has resigned, and the board has been working with an executive-search firm for the last few months to find its next permanent leader. Albertsons fell 1.5% after filing a lawsuit against Kroger, saying it didn't do enough for their proposed $24.6 billion merger agreement to win regulatory clearance. Albertsons said it's seeking billions of dollars in damages from Kroger, whose stock rose 1%. A day earlier, judges in separate cases in Oregon and Washington nixed the supermarket giants' merger. The grocers contended a combination could have helped them compete with big retailers like Walmart, Costco and Amazon, but critics said it would hurt competition. After terminating the merger agreement with Kroger, Albertsons said it plans to boost its dividend 25% and increased the size of its program to buy back its own stock. Macy's slipped 0.8% after cutting some of its financial forecasts for the full year of 2024, including for how much profit it expects to make off each $1 of revenue. All told, the S&P 500 rose 49.28 points to 6,084.19. The Dow dipped 99.27 to 44,148.56, and the Nasdaq composite rallied 347.65 to 20,034.89. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.27% from 4.23% late Tuesday. The two-year Treasury yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, edged up to 4.15% from 4.14%. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across much of Europe and Asia. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was an outlier and slipped 0.8% as Chinese leaders convened an annual planning meeting in Beijing that is expected to set economic policies and growth targets for the coming year. South Korea's Kospi rose 1%, up for a second straight day as it climbs back following last week's political turmoil where its president briefly declared martial law.

Turner, 52, is the first Black person selected to be a member of the Republican's Cabinet. Here are some things to know about Turner: From professional football to politics Turner grew up in a Dallas suburb, Richardson, and graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He was a defensive back and spent nine seasons in the NFL beginning in 1995, playing for the Washington Redskins, San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos. During offseasons, he worked as an intern then-Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif. After Turner retired in 2004, he worked full time for the congressman. In 2006, Turner ran unsuccessfully as a Republican in California’s 50th Congressional District. Turner joined the Texas House in 2013 as part of a large crop of tea party-supported lawmakers. He tried unsuccessfully to become speaker before he finished his second term in 2016. He did not seek a third term. Motivational speaker and pastor Turner also worked for a software company in a position called “chief inspiration officer” and said he acted as a professional mentor, pastor, and councilor for the employees and executive team. He has also been a motivational speaker. He and his wife, Robin Turner, founded a nonprofit promoting initiatives to improve childhood literacy. His church, Prestonwood Baptist Church, lists him as an associate pastor. He is also chair of the center for education opportunity at America First Policy Institute, a think tank set up by former Trump administration staffers to lay the groundwork if he won a second term. Headed council in Trump's first term Trump introduced Turner in April 2019 as the head of the new White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council. Trump credited Turner with “helping to lead an Unprecedented Effort that Transformed our Country’s most distressed communities.” The mission of the council was to coordinate with various federal agencies to attract investment to so-called “Opportunity Zones," which were economically depressed areas eligible to be used for the federal tax incentives. The role of HUD HUD is responsible for addressing the nation’s housing needs. It also is charged with fair housing laws and oversees housing for the poorest Americans, sheltering more than 4.3 million low-income families through public housing, rental subsidy and voucher programs. The agency, with a budget of tens of billions of dollars, runs a multitude of programs that do everything from reducing homelessness to promoting homeownership. It also funds the construction of affordable housing and provides vouchers that allow low income families pay for housing in the private market. During the campaign, Trump focused mostly on the prices of housing, not public housing. He railed against the high cost of housing and said he could make it more affordable by cracking down on illegal immigration and reducing inflation. He also said he would work to reduce regulations on home construction and make some federal land available for residential construction. ___ Adriana Gomez Licon, The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Will Howard passed for two touchdowns and rushed for another, TreVeyon Henderson ran for a score, and No. 2 Ohio State beat previously undefeated No. 5 Indiana 38-15 on Saturday.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs left his team’s game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday because of a concussion. Doubs’ injury came on a third-quarter play in the end zone that resulted in a pass interference penalty against San Francisco’s Renardo Green. Doubs stayed down briefly after the play, then got up slowly before heading to the sideline. He went into the injury tent before walking to the locker room. The Packers then announced Doubs was out for the rest of the game because of a concussion. He had three catches for 54 yards before leaving. San Francisco defensive tackle Jordan Elliott left in the first half of the game to get evaluated for a concussion and was ruled out at halftime. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLStatista estimates that over 50 million Americans six and older went camping in 2022 and 2023, which represents an increase compared to the 2010s. One could speculate that the rise of remote working has made it easier to explore more creative travel options, but whatever is driving this trend, it's safe to say that camping is becoming an increasingly popular way to unplug and reconnect with nature. Thanks to modern technology, you don't need to go completely off the grid when you go camping. In fact, bringing a laptop on a camping trip doesn't sound like a bad idea at all — you can catch up on work when you have some downtime, stay connected if anything urgent comes up, or even enjoy a movie before bed. But any experienced camper would tell you that electronics and the wilderness don't always mix well. With that in mind, here are three things to consider before bringing a laptop on your next camping trip. The first thing you need to consider is the size and weight of your laptop. If you own a large laptop, it will naturally take up a lot of space in your bag. Whether you're hiking, setting up a campsite, or just carrying a lot of camping gear, a few pounds can make a real difference in terms of comfort and convenience. Now you don't have to literally measure and weigh your laptop to see if it's camping-friendly, as the screen size is usually a good indicator of its overall dimensions and weight. Laptops with screen sizes ranging from 11 to 12 inches are considered ultraportable. Laptops with screens in the 13 to 14-inch range are usually fairly thin and light as well. Carrying around a standard-sized laptop with a 15-inch screen might not be too uncomfortable, but anything above 16 inches is typically considered a desktop replacement laptop. If you prefer to think of it in terms of weight, any laptop that weighs 5 pounds or more is better suited for stationary use. Additionally, large and powerful laptops with big screens tend to have shorter battery lives, as they need more power to operate than smaller, more portable devices, which is another important factor to keep in mind (more on that below). In other words, if you're an avid camper or think you might become one, thin and sleek laptops , like the Dell XPS 13 or Microsoft Surface Pro 9, are a much better option than heavy high-performance machines. Laptops are generally designed to operate within a temperature range of 50 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. This doesn't mean your laptop would immediately break down if exposed to temperatures outside this range, but prolonged exposure could cause real damage to the hardware components. While a laptop backpack , insulated case, or bag can help protect your device from elements and extreme weather conditions, you still need to be mindful of where and how you store it. For example, leaving your laptop in a vehicle for long periods of time can result in damage, even if it is stored in a well-padded bag. During summer, it might be a good idea to use a cooling pad , which is placed under a laptop to improve airflow and protect the device from overheating. The last thing you want is for your laptop to come into contact with snow or water, so that's an even bigger concern. Knowing your laptop's IP (Ingress Protection) rating can be of big help here, as that is an international standard that defines the level of protection from water and debris. For example, if a laptop has an IP4 rating, it is well-protected against water splashing. If it has an IP7 rating, it can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes. As a general rule of thumb, if your laptop is not military-grade , it should not come into contact with water. Consider investing in a waterproof sleeve or case — like this FINPAC hard laptop sleeve that is going for $25.99 on Amazon. Some laptop batteries can last up to 27 hours , while others may only provide a few hours of usage. Generally speaking, how long your battery lasts depends on various factors, including display brightness, the type of applications you're running, the number of background apps, external peripherals, and so on. Temperature also plays a role, with the battery draining faster in extreme heat or cold. If you want to bring a laptop on your next camping trip, battery life is definitely something you should pay attention to. If you're going on a short camping trip and own an M3 MacBook Pro , for example, you might not need to bring a power bank or charger, as the laptop's battery can last up to 22 hours. In most cases though, you will need to plan for additional power sources. The good news is that you have several options to choose from — you could invest in a small generator, a high-capacity power bank, or a portable solar panel .
