SCOTT DETROW, HOST:
Two important food holidays are meeting up this year. December 25 is both Christmas and also the first night of Hanukkah.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
DETROW: Well, we did not want to miss the opportunity to explore the potential for a feast for all. And to help us imagine what to prepare, we have called on Sarah Lohman, who's a food historian and writer. Sarah has put together a menu for us, and my only regret here is that this is a remote interview and I cannot eat it all right now. So that being said, welcome to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, Sarah.
SARAH LOHMAN: Hi, Scott. Thank you.
DETROW: When you first realized the alignment here, what was your first thought?
LOHMAN: OK, first thought was, of course, fry everything.
DETROW: Yeah.
LOHMAN: I mean, maybe it's obvious, maybe it's my first thought, but I was like, let's fry things that have never been fried before. Let's make it the Iowa State Fair up in here.
DETROW: (Laughter).
LOHMAN: OK, so the fun part of this project for me was I got to reach out to my community. And I started talking to my friend Leah Koenig, who is the author of the recent cookbook "Portico," which is about Roman Jewish culture. And she pointed out to me that latke, the traditional Hanukkah fried potato pancake - they really aren't that old in terms of Judaism. The practice originates with German Jews in the late 18th century. So that's like a drop in the bucket of the multiple-thousand-year history. So that's when I said, OK, well, is there another direction we can go here?
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
DETROW: So you have put together a menu. And before we go into it, tell me...
LOHMAN: Feast.
DETROW: A feast - important correction.
LOHMAN: (Laughter) I think.
DETROW: Tell me what you ended up organizing it around. What were the central thoughts? What were you trying to bring together?
LOHMAN: Well, I also happen to know a lot of people who are Christian or specifically Catholic and Jewish from populations around the world. And I think particularly in America, we can get sort of lost the idea of Christian as being a majority faith here, whereas in most of the world, it is a minority faith. And so I decided to put together a multicourse menu that looks at regions that have traditional, historical Christian and Jewish populations and look at where their food intersects and differentiates. I really believe that, like, cooking can be an act of learning; eating can be an act of education. And so I wanted to use this moment, this party, this feast, this festival to make space for the understanding of the long histories of these faiths throughout the world.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
DETROW: That being said, let's get going. Tell us what the first course is.
LOHMAN: OK, so for the first course, we're going to go to China, which does have a historical Jewish population. No one's quite sure when they came, but they came into the area around Kaifeng, which is in Henan, which - not Hunan, Henan, which is a northern Chinese province. And it's difficult to trace dishes from Jewish ancestry there. There's maybe only about 1,000 Kaifeng Jews today. But one we know of is a Kaifeng noodle-blanketed carp. And it's a whole fish that's wok fried, and it's served with a sauce made from vinegar, rice wine, ginger and scallions. And then you top it with crispy fried noodles.
But if you're not up for frying a whole fish, which not everybody is, I would recommend ordering in some Henanese cuisine. Soup dumplings, or xiaolongbao, are from the Henan area. But don't get the pork ones. Get ones made with lamb or chicken and vegetables, or you could also order in some hui mian (ph), which are wide wheat noodles. I should note in this whole menu, I decided to avoid pork, shellfish, and I didn't serve meat and dairy so that anyone can come to your house for this party of any religious background and be able to eat the food.
DETROW: All right, so walk me through the last main dish.
LOHMAN: OK, so last main dish, we're going to go to Ethiopia. And I think, you know, this might be - sound like a simple answer, but the national dish of Ethiopia is dora wat, which is a chicken stew, and it's dark meat chicken, slow cooked with hard boiled eggs, garlic ginger, onions, tomato, and you finish the top with a sprinkle of black cardamom. So I also love the connections, the spice connections and flavor connections made through these dishes. Now, dora wat is sort of the Coptic Christian name for it, but it's also known as sanbat wat in Ethiopian Jewish communities. And sanbat means Shabbat. So a lot of these two aren't necessarily Hanukkah dishes. Actually, the Ethiopian Jews didn't traditionally celebrate Hanukkah in Ethiopia. But now over 100,000 Ethiopian Jews have moved to Israel and another thousand are here in America too. So they've moved in the cultures that celebrate Hanukkah. And definitely, you should make it with injera, too.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
DETROW: So assuming there's any room left at all after all of these dishes so far, I know you've put a lot of thought into a very important holiday item, and that is desserts.
LOHMAN: Oh, my gosh, of course. I mean, but there is always room for dessert.
DETROW: (Laughter).
LOHMAN: So I've got two ideas here. One is cassola, which is from my original person who gave me this idea, Leah Koenig. It's a cheesecake that was created by Roman Jews, and it actually descends from this idea of pancake-making on Hanukkah. Hanukkah, you know, oil, things that are fried and things that are dairy are sort of traditional Hanukkah foods. Cassola was originally made on stove tops, like a really thick pancake. Now it's baked, and now it's actually crossed over that it's a favorite served by Roman Catholics on Christmas. So it's a ricotta cheesecake made with cinnamon, vanilla and raisins.
Now, for some people, having dairy after meat is OK, but for some people, it's not. So if you want to stick to a menu that's kosher friendly, I'd also recommend bolo menino. Bolo menino is named after the Christ child, and it's a cake made in Macao, which is governed somewhat by China, but not totally, so they have more religious freedom. And many people there are also Portuguese descendants, as well. So this is a cake made with crumbled cookies, coconut and pine nuts that is always served on Christmas in Macao.
DETROW: You know, I think a lot of people listening might be taking notes and thinking, I want to do this. And I think there might be a lot of people listening who are thinking, like, oh, my gosh, this sounds so overwhelming.
LOHMAN: (Laughter).
DETROW: What do you say to somebody who, like, loves the idea, but when it comes to, especially, like, a multicourse meal, just kind of gets intimidated?
LOHMAN: You know, there is always a potluck. There's always divvying this up. Or, you know, hey, if you love throwing a party like me, make the whole thing. But if not, just make the one dish that appeals to you. I think that food is always better with a story. And I love the idea of using this December 25 to reflect on these cultures throughout the world. And sometimes they're often difficult stories, too.
DETROW: Yeah. You know, we're talking about learning about different cultures, as this menus together. But, you know, I think for a lot of people, a holiday is also about kind of leaning into your heritage - right? - your family story - right? - in terms of food.
LOHMAN: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And I think that we can't forget that many of these cultures that I talked about today also exist within America. These communities are here. And I think for all of us during this holiday season, this is often a time where we connect to our own ancestry. I'm sure that there are people listening right now thinking about the recipes that they're going to make that have been passed down through their families and that really are labors of love that make this feel like a special and important time of year.
DETROW: Absolutely.
LOHMAN: It's religion, but it's celebration, it's family, it's ancestry, too.
DETROW: And all of this is kind of very American, right? Like, you've put together a meal that touches on a dozen different countries and cultures.
LOHMAN: Yeah, but they can all be found here, absolutely.
DETROW: Yeah.
LOHMAN: And to me, I think that that's the most powerful and beautiful thing about America, our diversity. We can be a little hard to govern sometime. We're an unruly lot. But just how many different people become American too, I think that's really the most wonderful thing about living here and celebrating the holidays here.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
DETROW: That is food historian Sarah Lohman. Her most recent book is just out in paper, "Endangered Eating: America's Vanishing Foods." Thank you so much for taking up the challenge and crafting a Christmas Hanukkah feast for us.
LOHMAN: Oh, my gosh, my pleasure. Now the real challenge is I'm going to have to sit down and make all of this.
DETROW: I think there's no question now. Thank you.
LOHMAN: Thank you.

Right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must"—Thucydides.
Right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must"—Thucydides.
Nothing describes the evolution of the Westphalian system of ‘nation states’ that humanity has adopted better than Thucydides’ pithy observation in his Melian Dialogue.
Nothing describes the evolution of the Westphalian system of ‘nation states’ that humanity has adopted better than Thucydides’ pithy observation in his Melian Dialogue.
This system is governed not by rules or by any manner of a ‘global rules-based order,’ but by an oligarchy of ‘Master States’ that, by dint of their dominance of military and economic affairs, create and impose rules as they deem fit in their own interests.

While military strength is important, the entry ticket to this elite club of ‘Master Nations’ is governed by economic influence. This means that less developed countries face an unequal global economic system where the rules are stacked against them and in favour of a few powerful states that shape it to their own advantage.
But every once in a while, geopolitical chaos roils this oligarchy and offers other countries a ladder to climb out of their pit of economic weakness and join the top ranks. The fundamental problem that a poor country faces is a lack of resources (capital, raw material, technology and others) that can be used for production, coupled with weak access to markets where these goods can be sold freely to generate surpluses.
The old Master States of Europe, as founding members of an oligarchy, solved their resource and market problem through geopolitical chaos. They led a wave of pillage, plunder and conquest in Asia, Africa and the ‘new world’ to generate surpluses that enriched and empowered them.
The British fine-tuned this formula, with their colonies serving as sources of cheap raw material and labour and also as large markets for their products. While early industrial-age innovation played a role in Britain’s success, the Raj helped it consolidate its authority as the world’s reigning hegemon.
Countries that came late to the global imperial project have used more innovative geopolitical operations to succeed. America, for instance, could not resort to empire building because of its inherent inconsistency with its Constitution and the fact that most of the world had already been colonized by European powers, but it had no qualms using slavery to cover its labour shortage.
It also used geopolitical chaos in the ‘old world’ of Europe to brazenly steal European technology while protecting its manufacturers with high tariff walls. The new world began to attract European and British capital for infrastructure development.
The English, who seemed to have developed a misguided sense of overconfidence and had pivoted to free trade, perhaps on the assumption that their manufacturing might could not be challenged, looked on indulgently as the US came up with its own factory innovations for mass production, which sent it barrelling towards success and power.
This model would be copied to some extent by another power. But more on that later.

While America was well on its way to joining this elite club by the start of the 20th century, it was the geopolitical upheaval of World War II that put America at the head of the top table. The US economy generated massive surpluses by supplying war materiel to its allies and storming the war-front after Japan’s bombing of its Pearl Harbour.
By the end of the war, its ally France was shattered and Britain was economically exhausted. No longer able to uphold the value of the sterling, a weary Britain passed the crown to the US, whose entry had turned the war’s tide against Germany and Japan.
This made the US the world’s top power, while the arrangements forged at the 1944 Bretton Woods huddle affirmed the dollar’s new status as the world’s principal trade currency.
The post-war rise of Germany and Japan can be attributed partly to the war’s repercussions. The US generously funded a Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe and West Germany served as the West’s bulwark against Soviet expansionism as the Cold War got underway.
To keep Japan under its influence, the US not only took charge of its security, but helped the Japanese economy export its way to prosperity. The US sourced massively from Japan during the Korean war and continued to do so afterwards, endowing Japan with capital, technology and management know-how that formed the basis of the latter’s success (though Japan made a few factory innovations of its own).
The US also lobbied to get Japanese exports market access throughout the world. While Britain and others refused to give Japanese exports access and ‘most favoured nation’ status, the US opened its own market to Japanese products. The rest is history.
Also read: Hot wars and cold: Global geopolitics mustn't turn adverse for India
The rise of ‘Master States’ clearly owes as much to geopolitics as it does to other factors.
The economic success of almost every such state so far has in large part been driven by its ability to harness geopolitical chaos in its favour and obtain favourable terms.
In the concluding part of this column, we will look at some other such economic ‘miracles’ and lessons for Indian policymakers.

Besharam Mints Over Rs. 20 Cr On Day One
Bad reviews notwithstanding, the film minted Rs. 21.56 crore on the opening day.
The critics panned Abhinav Singh Kashyap's Besharam as illogical and a movie that "lacks merit". However, the bad reviews notwithstanding, the film minted Rs. 21.56 crore on the opening day.
Co-produced by Himanshu Mehra, Sanjeev Gupta and Reliance Entertainment, the film was made at a budget of Rs.60 crore plus the cost of promotions, marketing and advertising.
The film hit 3,600 screens in India and 700 screens overseas when it released Wednesday on Gandhi Jayanti.
The movie brings together three Kapoors -- Ranbir and his actor parents Neetu and Rishi Kapoor -- for the first time on the big screen.
"Besharam lacks merits. Great start and Ranbir will see it reach safety mark but that's not saying much," trade analyst Komal Nahta posted on Twitter.
Newcomer Pallavi Sharda plays the female lead in the film.

Outside of those heavyweights, prominent AI startups featured significantly in a funding dataset of more than 115 of the largest funding rounds of 2024, including venture capital, corporate rounds, post-IPO equity, and debt financing, sourced from Crunchbase and other platforms. AI-focused firms alone attracted over $24 billion in recent rounds (combining core AI research, infrastructure, and applications). For comparison, the next largest sectors were advanced hardware and semiconductors at nearly $4 billion, followed by biotech/healthcare at $3.4 billion, advanced transportation at $2.3 billion, and clean energy/nuclear at $2.2 billion. AI was not just a prominent theme unto itself — many of the largest fundraising rounds in other sectors were fundamentally AI-driven companies, including Xaira Therapeutics in biotech ($1B), G42 and Tenstorrent in semiconductors ($1.5B and $693M respectively), Physical Intelligence in robotics ($470M), Lightmatter in photonic computing ($400M), and numerous transportation companies developing autonomous systems.
‘Almost sucking the oxygen out of the room’
This concentration of capital in AI is a significant shift from just two years ago. As the Wall Street Journal reported in October, AI startups commanded 31% of global venture funding in Q3 2024, up from just 13% in Q3 2022. “AI companies are almost sucking the oxygen out of the room for everyone else,” CB Insights analyst Benjamin Lawrence told WSJ. This surge dwarfs previous tech sector funding waves — for context, fintech at its peak captured about 20% of venture funding, while cryptocurrency never exceeded 6%. With venture firms sitting on what PitchBook estimated as $328.4 billion in uncommitted capital as of early 2024, industry observers expect this AI-centric funding pattern to persist. As Wing VC Founding Partner Peter Wagner told the Journal, while much of the market follows traditional patterns, AI investment is experiencing “a late ’90s-type of acceleration.”\
In terms of geography, the U.S. remains the epicenter of colossal AI deals. Major AI players like OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI and Databricks are all headquartered in San Francisco and many of the largest biotech and energy investments also target U.S.-based ventures. Meanwhile, new hubs are emerging. European AI companies, such as Mistral AI in France, and Middle Eastern tech conglomerates like UAE-based G42, are capturing meaningful rounds, while Canada’s Cohere and Finland’s Oura highlight a global dimension to this capital wave.
The following table highlights a selection of the most significant 2024 funding rounds across AI, advanced hardware, clean energy, and other high-growth sectors:
Sector-by-sector and funding type overview
-
- Core AI research: Approaching $20B+ in major recent rounds, even before counting Databricks’ pending $9.5B raise, which could push totals to $29B+. High-profile moves include Amazon’s additional $4B into Anthropic (totaling $8B) and Google’s $2B in commitments. OpenAI’s latest $6.6B round led by Thrive, Microsoft, Nvidia, and SoftBank elevated its valuation to $157B, reflecting platform-level land grabs.
- Advanced hardware/semiconductor: About $2.8B in fresh capital, often late-stage venture and IPO-linked deals. Tenstorrent’s December 2024 Series D ($693M) saw notable backers like Samsung Securities and AFW Partners, pushing its valuation to $2B. Ayar Labs raised $155M in Series D funding, reaching a $1B+ valuation and drawing investors like AMD Ventures and Intel Capital. Alphawave Semi’s public listing and connectivity IP underscore the ongoing push for scalable AI infrastructure.
- Biotech/healthcare: Nearing $2.2B across a variety of funding structures (Series B/C, convertible debt, post-IPO equity). Companies like Freenome (liquid biopsy) and Olema Oncology represent an array of late-stage biotech ventures. While the biotech investment climate has cooled considerably since the pandemic, WSJ noted that the number of deals worth more than $100 million have come close to full-year totals in 2021.
- Clean energy/nuclear: Also around $2.2B, with a mix of early- to late-stage venture financing and debt. These include investments in nuclear startups and renewable energy technologies.
- Enterprise IT/software infrastructure: Just over $2B, often through post-IPO or secondary markets. Databricks, for instance, is finalizing a major $9.5B round. Despite the AI spotlight, enterprise software remains resilient, with stable funding patterns supporting data management, analytics, and backend tooling.
- Aerospace/space: The space industry continues to attract healthy investment, with SpaceX leading the way. SpaceX’s valuation hit roughly $350 billion in December 2024 through an insider share purchase at $185 per share — a substantial increase from $112 per share in September. This milestone has established SpaceX as the world’s most valuable startup, surpassing ByteDance. Other companies like Rocket Lab and Firefly Aerospace also maintain active interest from VC and growth equity investors.
- Robotics/autonomous systems:
In the robotics space, early-stage venture funding thrived with like Figure ($675M Series B) and Physical Intelligence ($470M Series A) securing substantial investment hauls. overall, a diverse set of companies won funding ranging from industrial automation (ANYbotics, Vecna Robotics), humanoid robots (Figure), agricultural robotics (Carbon Robotics), Logistics and warehouse automation (Nimble Robotics, Outrider), and delivery robots (Serve Robotics).
*If Databricks completes its planned raise
Established hardware and infrastructure giants recalibrating
In parallel, established hardware and infrastructure giants — Intel, IBM, Dell, AMD, Xerox — are retrenching. Intel announced the largest cuts with 15,000 jobs eliminated in August 2024. Dell announced a 6,000-person reduction in March. IBM cut 1,000 jobs in Beijing in August while conducting additional layoffs of undisclosed size in New York throughout the year. AMD eliminated 1,000 positions in the Bay Area in November. Collectively, these companies have cut over 23,000 jobs in 2024 amid efforts to reduce costs while simultaneously investing in next-gen computing approaches.While other established hardware companies adjust to the shifting market, NVIDIA has a banner 2024 (FY 2025). Its lack of layoff recent announcements stands out in the Big Tech landscape that has seen the most churn since the DotCom Bubble burst in recent years. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 announced in November 2024, NVIDIA reported a record revenue of $35.1 billion, marking a 94% increase from the same period the previous year. In the same quarter, its data center segment achieved a record revenue of $30.8 billion, up 112% year-over-year. Additionally, the company’s CEO Jensen Huang has noted that demand for its Blackwell AI processors, which offer 2.5 times the performance of the preceding Hopper chips, has been “insane.”
NVIDIA’s evolution is emblematic: once a chipmaker focused to a large extent on gaming graphics, it has since emerged as a full-stack AI powerhouse. By 2024, more than half of its engineers were dedicated to software. This shift is paying off. NVIDIA’s market capitalization soared above $2 trillion in February and briefly surpassed $3 trillion by June, making it, for a time, the most valuable company in the world. Its debut of the Blackwell AI chip architecture and cutting-edge datacenter accelerators (B100 and B200) expanded its AI hardware portfolio, while the release of NVLM 1.0, a family of multimodal large language models topping 72 billion parameters, positioned it to rival established heavyweights like GPT-4, which its tech helped train.
U.S. R&D funding dominance in tech continued in 2024
While the market recalibrates, the continued R&D funding dominance of the U.S. in tech was another core theme in 2024, although China is now the world’s largest producer of scientific knowledge, as Nature has pointed out. When including anticipated rounds like Databricks’ $9.5 billion venture raise, U.S.-based entities account for roughly $33.9 billion in major AI funding this year. Middle Eastern strategic investments further amplify this concentration of capital. In contrast, European participation in top-tier funding remains notably constrained. Mistral AI’s €450 million ($494 million) round, while significant for the European ecosystem, represents just 1.5% of documented major AI investments. Even when combined with other substantial European deals like Alphawave Semi’s $150 million raise, the continent’s cumulative large-scale AI financing remains under $650 million—less than 2% of global top-tier AI funding. While European AI ventures are increasingly securing meaningful capital, they operate at a fundamentally different scale than their U.S. counterparts, where billion-dollar rounds have become a recurring feature of the funding landscape.

With the holiday season upon us, it's more than likely that you'll be sitting down for at least one indulgent meal over the several weeks.
But instead of chilling out in front of the TV after you polish off a scrumptious dessert, consider venturing out for a walk. It's one of the easiest things you can do to boost your health after a meal, and even a short stroll can yield big benefits.
The concept of post-meal walks has been around for centuries, notes Loretta DiPietro, a professor of exercise and nutrition science at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health.
"Italians have been doing it and Europeans have been doing it forever. My grandparents did it," she says.
Some people used to refer to these walks as constitutionals, or strolls undertaken for your health.
TV may be one reason why the habit fell out of favor, but the idea has caught on again recently, thanks to viral TikTok videos extolling the virtues of a post-meal walk — sometimes called, ahem, "fart walks" because they can relieve gas! Experts say this is one health hack that social media gets right.
"Sustained walking at any time of day is beneficial. You get more bang for the buck if you walk after meals," DiPietro says.
Why? For starters, walking or other physical activity will jumpstart digestion, so your meal goes down easier, says Dr. Chris Damman, a gastroenterologist and professor at the University of Washington who studies the intersection of the microbiome and metabolic disease.
"It actually has pretty important benefits for your well being in your belly, getting things moving, so to speak, and may be also beneficial for clearing the air, if you know what I mean," Damman says.
Faster digestion may help get more fiber and other undigested nutrients to the lower part of the gut, providing a feast for the microbes that live there, Damman says. And if you're feeding them fiber-rich foods, these microbes will in turn produce lots of molecules that play an important role in keeping our brains, immune systems and metabolisms healthy.
Walking also plays a big role in helping to regulate blood sugar levels after eating. That's because as food is digested, it gets broken down into different parts, including the sugar glucose, one of the body's main sources of energy. That sugar will then flood the bloodstream. A post-meal walk can blunt that spike, he says.
"One of the reasons walking is beneficial is when we move our muscles — and that's both our heart and the muscles in our legs and our arms — they become sponges for the blood glucose that our gut is absorbing into the bloodstream," Damman says. "And so it basically just pulls all that glucose out of the blood and into the muscles, where it's being used immediately for propelling us forward."
Normally, the body produces the hormone insulin to clear glucose out of the blood and into nearby cells. But muscle contractions through walking can also accomplish this — even without the presence of insulin.
That means less stress on your pancreas, because it doesn't have to produce as much insulin after a meal. And that's important because "over time, high loads on the pancreas can tax it and even lead to pre-diabetes or diabetes," Damman says.
You don't have to walk long or intensely to see these benefits. For instance, DiPietro co-authored one study that found taking a 15-minute walk at a moderate pace after a meal improved blood sugar control even hours later. Other research has found that as little as 2 to 5 minutes of post-meal walking can help lower blood sugar, though longer is better.
DiPietro says you want to head out within about a half hour after eating, when you're digesting your meal and the glucose is hitting your bloodstream, so your muscles can use it up right away.
If the weather isn't conducive to an outdoor stroll — or you're just too busy bingeing Netflix — don't let that deter you. "Stand up and march in place and move your arms," DiPietro advises. Even if it's just a few minutes, those movements can help your body store glucose better.
Now, DiPietro says walking after any meal is beneficial, but if you had to pick one, dinner would be your best bet. That's because for many people, the evening meal tends to be the biggest of the day.
"And so you've got a lot of calories going in," she says, "and all that sugar and fat is circulating in your blood. And what we then do is flop in front of the television or we go to bed," which is a bad idea, she says, because our bodies also produce less insulin at night, especially as we age.
That combination of low insulin and couch potato instincts is a recipe for high blood sugar, which you want to avoid at all times, but especially before going to bed, says Luis Buenaver, a behavioral sleep specialist at Johns Hopkins University. That's because blood sugar spikes and crashes are linked to poor sleep quality.
A gentle walk after dinner can not only prevent that, it can also improve circulation, he says. "And it can help promote this sense of relaxation," which in turn can make for a better night's sleep.
And all of this is especially true after a heavy meal like a holiday feast.
"If ever there were a meal to walk after, that would be the Thanksgiving dinner, given the load of calories that one is consuming," DiPietro says. So fight the urge to take a nap, and first go for a walk.

The Los Angeles Lakers returned home and hosted the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night in what has become a nice rivalry over the last few years.
After getting some time off and away from the team, LeBron James returned to action for the Lakers against the Grizzlies. He helped spark a quality performance as L.A. was able to earn a 116-110 victory to improve to 14-12 on the season.
Anthony Davis knocked down back-to-back midrange jumpers to get the Lakers off to a nice start. The time off appeared to do James well as he threw down an emphatic dunk and then followed it up with a big block and putback layup, forcing a Grizzlies timeout with the Lakers up 9-2.
Memphis had a nice response out of the timeout with seven straight, including five from Jaren Jackson Jr., to tie the game. The Lakers then jumped out in front against though after triples from Davis and D’Angelo Russell. After James got in on the action from deep, the Lakers led 30-20 at the end of a really solid quarter for L.A.
After a quiet first quarter, Ja Morant got going with a 3 early in the second, although Dalton Knecht followed it up with a three-point play.
The Lakers continued to grow their lead from there by turning defense into offense as Cam Reddish had a steal and a dunk to extend the lead to 44-29.
Davis has had his way with the Grizzlies in the past and that continued in this one as he was dominant on both ends in the first half. James found Davis for an alley-oop to end the second and the Lakers went into the locker room with a comfortable 64-46 lead.
Davis picked up where he left off to begin the third quarter with a pair of monster dunks. Unfortunately though, he was bumped in the left shoulder and was forced to go back to the locker room to get it looked at.
With Davis out, the Grizzlies went into attack mode and used the free throw line to claw their way back in the game. Meanwhile, the Lakers got careless with the ball and their lead was cut to 86-77 after Luke Kennard buried a triple to beat the third quarter buzzer.
Even though they let go of the rope a little bit, the Lakers did not let it get too far as Austin Reaves had a three-point play and then James connected from deep to get the lead back to double digits before Davis was able to return. Davis then continued his big night with another jumper, and all of a sudden the Lakers were up 100-85.
The game wasn’t over though as the Grizzlies quickly responded with five straight points. Luckily for the Lakers, Jackson, who was Memphis’ best player on the night, then fouled out of the game.
The Grizzlies were able to hang around but never threatened the Lakers that much as L.A. was able to close out the win without any issues.
Davis would finish the night with 40 points and 16 rebounds while James had 18 points, seven rebounds and eight assists in his return.
What’s next for the Lakers
The Lakers will get a few days off before heading back on the road for two straight games against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday and Saturday of next week.

National Conference (NC) leader and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has publicly challenged the Congress party's recent objections to Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) following significant electoral defeats in Haryana and Maharashtra. The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference is a member of the INDIA bloc.
Omar Abdullah's remarks come amid growing friction between the Congress and its allies within the INDIA bloc, particularly regarding the reliability of EVMs, and the Adani issue.
In an interview, J&K CM Omar Abdullah dismissed the Congress's complaints about EVMs, stating that “voting machines cannot be a problem only when you lose elections.”
Abdullah highlighted the inconsistency in Congress' stance, pointing out that when Congress secured over 100 seats using the same EVMs, they celebrated their victory but later questioned the machines when results did not favour them.
Omar Abdullah asserted, “How can you have problems with the EVMs and then continue to fight elections? If you don't trust the machines, then you shouldn't be fighting elections.”
“If you (Congress) don't trust the machines, then you shouldn't be fighting elections,” he said.
In response to Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah's comments, Congress MP Manickam Tagore emphasised that other allies within the INDIA bloc, such as the Samajwadi Party (SP), Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-SP), and Shiv Sena (UBT), had raised concerns about EVMs.
Tagore urged Abdullah to “check your facts”, clarifying that the Congress Working Committee's resolution specifically addressed issues with the Election Commission of India.
“Why this approach to our partners after being Chief Minister?” Manickam Tagore tweeted.
The tensions within the INDIA bloc are further exacerbated by the Congress' increasing alienation over various issues, including its handling of allegations against industrialist Gautam Adani.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-Sharad Pawar) MP Amol Kolhe recently stated that Parliament would be “better utilised” discussing pressing issues affecting farmers and youth rather than focusing on political ties with businessmen.
The Congress’s other INDIA bloc allies Trinamool Congress (TMC), Shiv Sena (UBT), and Samajwadi Party (SP) have so far kept away from the issue, with only the Congress protesting daily in Parliament. The TMC has openly said there were more important issues to discuss than the probe against industrialist Gautam Adani, who has been accused by US authorities of bribery.
Adding to Congress's woes, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has aligned with other parties in backing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s bid to lead the INDIA bloc coalition opposing the BJP. Historically, as a steadfast ally of the Gandhi family, Yadav's shift indicates a potential realignment in political strategies following Congress's poor showing in recent state elections.
Congress is facing mounting pressure from its allies after disappointing performances in recent elections. The NC-Congress alliance won 49 out of 90 seats in Jammu and Kashmir, while Congress secured only six of the 39 seats it contested.
This underperformance has prompted calls from partners like Shiv Sena (UBT), Trinamool Congress (TMC), and RJD for introspection and more equitable treatment of coalition members.

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Israel said Sunday it will close its embassy in Ireland as relations deteriorated over the war in Gaza, where Palestinian medical officials said new Israeli airstrikes killed over 46 people including several children.
The decision to close the embassy came in response to what Israel's foreign minister has described as Ireland's "extreme anti-Israel policies." In May, Israel recalled its ambassador to Dublin after Ireland announced, along with Norway, Spain and Slovenia, it would recognize a Palestinian state.
The Irish Cabinet last week decided to formally intervene in South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, which accuses Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. Israel denies it.
"We are concerned that a very narrow interpretation of what constitutes genocide leads to a culture of impunity in which the protection of civilians is minimized," said Ireland's foreign affairs minister, Micheal Martin.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar's statement on the embassy closure said "Ireland has crossed every red line in its relations with Israel."
Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris called the decision to close the embassy "deeply regrettable." He added on X: "I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-international law."
Israeli strikes in Gaza kill a journalist and childrenIsraeli forces continued Sunday to pound Gaza, including the largely isolated north, as the Palestinian death toll in the war approached 45,000.
A large explosion lit up the southern Gaza skyline on Sunday night. An Israeli airstrike hit a school and killed at least 16 people in the southern city of Khan Younis, according to Nasser Hospital, where the bodies were taken. There was no immediate Israeli military statement.
In the north, an airstrike hit the Khalil Aweida school in the town of Beit Hanoun and killed at least 15 people, according to nearby Kamal Adwan Hospital where casualties were taken. The dead included two parents and their daughter and a father and his son, the hospital said.
And in Gaza City, at least 17 people including six women and five children were killed in three airstrikes that hit houses sheltering displaced people, according to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital.
"We woke up to the strike. I woke up with the rubble on top of me," said a bandaged Yahia al-Yazji, who grieved for his wife and daughter. "I found my wife with her head and skull visible, and my daughter's intestines were gone. My wife was three months pregnant." His hand rested on a body wrapped in a blanket on the floor.
Israel's military in a statement said it struck a "terrorist cell" in Gaza City and a "terrorist meeting point" in the Beit Hanoun area.
Another Israeli airstrike killed a Palestinian journalist working for Al Jazeera, Ahmed al-Lawh, in central Gaza, a hospital and the Qatari-based TV station said.
The strike hit a point for Gaza's civil defense agency in the urban Nuseirat refugee camp, Al-Awda Hospital said. Also killed were three civil defense workers including the local head of the agency, according to al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital. The civil defense is Gaza's main rescue agency and operates under the Hamas-run government.
One of the bodies was covered with an orange work jacket marked "ambulance" in English.
"We, the civil defense, are carrying out humanitarian work like in any country in the world. Why are we being targeted?" said colleague Kerem Al Dalou.
Israel's military said it struck a militant command center embedded in the civil defense offices.
The war in Gaza began after Hamas and other militants from Gaza stormed southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and taking well over 200 hostage.
Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed almost 45,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The ministry's count does not distinguish between combatants and civilians, but it says over half of the dead have been women and children.
Most of Gaza's population of over 2 million has been displaced, often multiple times. The hospitals that are still functioning say they lack medicines, fuel and other basic supplies, while aid groups warn of widespread hunger.
The head of the World Food Program, Cindy McCain, told CBS on Sunday that the U.N. agency was able to get just two trucks of supplies into Gaza in November, citing insecurity there.
"We need a ceasefire, and we need it now," she said. "We can no longer sit by and just allow these people to starve to death."

China retail growth slows, agency calls for 2025 support
December 16, 2024Broadly positive Chinese economic data for November released on Monday also showed slower-than-expected growth of 3.3% in retail sales, much slower than in October and well adrift of the 4.6% forecast.
The slowdown came as a surprise because Beijing has been working to boost stimulus programs and encourage consumption, as it braces for possible headwinds as Donald Trump returns for a second term as US president, threatening increased tariffs.
China had implemented major online shopping promotions and government-subsidized trade-in programs boosting sales in things like cars, which were expected to buoy growth.
Markets in Shanghai and Hong Kong dipped as the news was announced on Monday morning. But by early afternoon, the Shanghai Exchange in particular had pared these losses and was back in the green, while the Hang Seng was down roughly 0.5%.
Chinese government pledging 'moderately loose' monetary policy
China's government has been trying to show it's working to kickstart consumption and reignite the world's second-largest economy.
Beijing last week announced new measures aimed at "lifting consumption vigorously" as part of a stimulus drive.
But as these left investors seemingly unimpressed, officials unveiled new promises over the weekend including a bid to boost the struggling property sector and change monitoring of equity markets.
President Xi Jinping said at the annual Central Economic Work Conference that the Chinese Communist Party would implement a "moderately loose" monetary policy, increase social financing and also reduce interest rates "at the right time."
Stats agency hints at tougher 2025 conditions
Despite concerns over the sluggish growth, and the more general downward trend compared to the rapid Chinese expansion achieved over the past couple of decades, Monday's figures remained robust.
Industrial output grew 5.4% compared to the previous November, a slight increase from October and in line with predictions.
Retail sales however dipped to 3.3% growth from 4.8% the previous month.
A spokesperson for the National Statistics Bureau warned while presenting the data that protectionism was on the rise and the agency anticipated tougher conditions next year.
They called for more efforts to promote economic recovery in 2025.

National Conference (NC) leader and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has publicly challenged the Congress party's recent objections to Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) following significant electoral defeats in Haryana and Maharashtra. The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference is a member of the INDIA bloc.
Omar Abdullah's remarks come amid growing friction between the Congress and its allies within the INDIA bloc, particularly regarding the reliability of EVMs, and the Adani issue.
In an interview, J&K CM Omar Abdullah dismissed the Congress's complaints about EVMs, stating that “voting machines cannot be a problem only when you lose elections.”
Abdullah highlighted the inconsistency in Congress' stance, pointing out that when Congress secured over 100 seats using the same EVMs, they celebrated their victory but later questioned the machines when results did not favour them.
Omar Abdullah asserted, “How can you have problems with the EVMs and then continue to fight elections? If you don't trust the machines, then you shouldn't be fighting elections.”
“If you (Congress) don't trust the machines, then you shouldn't be fighting elections,” he said.
In response to Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah's comments, Congress MP Manickam Tagore emphasised that other allies within the INDIA bloc, such as the Samajwadi Party (SP), Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-SP), and Shiv Sena (UBT), had raised concerns about EVMs.
Tagore urged Abdullah to “check your facts”, clarifying that the Congress Working Committee's resolution specifically addressed issues with the Election Commission of India.
“Why this approach to our partners after being Chief Minister?” Manickam Tagore tweeted.
The tensions within the INDIA bloc are further exacerbated by the Congress' increasing alienation over various issues, including its handling of allegations against industrialist Gautam Adani.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-Sharad Pawar) MP Amol Kolhe recently stated that Parliament would be “better utilised” discussing pressing issues affecting farmers and youth rather than focusing on political ties with businessmen.
The Congress’s other INDIA bloc allies Trinamool Congress (TMC), Shiv Sena (UBT), and Samajwadi Party (SP) have so far kept away from the issue, with only the Congress protesting daily in Parliament. The TMC has openly said there were more important issues to discuss than the probe against industrialist Gautam Adani, who has been accused by US authorities of bribery.
Adding to Congress's woes, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has aligned with other parties in backing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s bid to lead the INDIA bloc coalition opposing the BJP. Historically, as a steadfast ally of the Gandhi family, Yadav's shift indicates a potential realignment in political strategies following Congress's poor showing in recent state elections.
Congress is facing mounting pressure from its allies after disappointing performances in recent elections. The NC-Congress alliance won 49 out of 90 seats in Jammu and Kashmir, while Congress secured only six of the 39 seats it contested.
This underperformance has prompted calls from partners like Shiv Sena (UBT), Trinamool Congress (TMC), and RJD for introspection and more equitable treatment of coalition members.

Historian, author, and member of the Prime Ministers' Museum and Library (PMML) Society, Rizwan Kadri, has written to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, requesting that she either return the personal papers of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, provide copies of them, or grant digitised access.
As reported by ANI, Kadri said that '51 boxes' containing Nehru's records were retrieved by Sonia Gandhi's office from the PMML, previously known as the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML).
"I have written a letter to Sonia Gandhi and asked her to return the private letters of Nehru that were taken by her office, as she was the family's representative and donor...51 boxes were withdrawn from there in 2008...The collection that was withdrawn includes Jayaprakash Narayan, Babu Jagjivan Ram, the Edwina Mountbatten collection and several other collections," Kadri told ANI.
He further raised concerns if there was something objectionable in the letters and what was the motive for taking the papers back. “The collection once donated cannot be withdrawn but this is withdrawn...What was the motive behind withdrawing the letters exchanged between Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten? This was donated by the original donor to the institution...Was there any objectionable thing in that? What was the motive for taking this collection back,” he said.

The historian and author noted they have demanded the papers to ensure a comprehensive understanding of our nation's history. “In the letter written to Sonia Gandhi, I have asked her to return this to PMML or give us a copy of it...I am confident that this was done in good faith to protect these invaluable documents, but historians like me are keenly interested in tracking them,” Kadri said.

Huma Qureshi To Play Meena Kumari?
Director Karan Razdan wants Huma Qureshi to play the lead in his biopic on Meena Kumari.
Hema Qureshi is one Bollywood stunner who has earned her spurs in films like Gangs Of Wasseypur series, Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana and Ek Thi Daayan. She is a dynamic combination of good-looks and fine acting credentials. That's precisely why when Karan Razdan planned on making a biopic on the yesteryear legendary actress, Meena Kumari, the first name that flashed across his mind was that of Huma Qureshi.
Having made films like Bhatti On Chutti and Mittal Vs Mittal, Razdan's next venture will reportedly revolve around the Tragedy Queen. Though it's been stated that the director is ploying with the idea of casting Qureshi in the lead role, the actress hasn't been approached for the project yet.
One of the most promiment actresses in the history of Hindi cinema, Meena Kumari played iconic roles in films like Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam and Daera. The exotic beauty, whose personal life wasn't as exciting as her professional life, died of liver cirrhosis in 1972, when she was just 39.
When IANS asked Razdan about the film, he said, "I have spent about four years to do the research and write the script. We have just finished the script and we will start shooting from early next year."
Adding, the director underlined, "Meena Kumari's life and her journey has been very fascinating. We want someone who could justify her role and I think Huma Qureshi will fit the bill. I want to cast her for the biopic. We have not approached her so far, but my team will be talking to her soon."

Former England women's team captain Isa Guha apologised to Jasprit Bumrah on live television over her ‘primate’ remark made on the India pacer on Day 2 of the ongoing third Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). Guha, who herself is an Indian-origin Englishwoman, used a racially-sensitive slur after Bumrah dismissed the Australian openers at the Gabba in Brisbane.
Guha's comments came after her co-commentator and former Australia pacer Brett Lee highly praised Bumrah after his first two wickets. "Bumrah, today: five overs, 2/4. So, that's the tone, and that’s what you want from the ex-skipper," Lee said on air.
To which Guha replied, “Well, he’s the MVP, isn’t he? Most valuable primate, Jasprit Bumrah.” For the unversed, ‘primate’ refers to a group of mammals which includes lemurs, lorises, tarsiers, monkeys, apes, and humans.
The former England cricketer's comments didn't go well on social media and faced severe backlash. Realising her fault, Guha was quick take her comments back and apologize.
With former Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist and former India cricketer Ravi Shastri by her side, Guha issued an apology on live TV on Day 3 of the Test match.
“Yesterday in commentary I used a word that can be interpreted in a number of different ways. I'd like to apologise for any offence caused. I set myself really high standards when it comes to empathy and respect of others. If you listen to the full transcript I only meant the highest praise for one of India's greatest players,” she continued.
"And someone that I admire greatly. I'm an advocate for equality and someone who has spent their career thinking about inclusion and understanding in the game. I was trying to frame the enormity of his achievement and I've chosen the wrong word. And for that I am deeply sorry.
"As someone who is also of south Asian heritage I hope people would recognise there was no other intention or malice there, and I hope this hasn't overshadowed what has been a great Test match so far - and I look forward to seeing how it progresses," Guha added.
Shastri, who is also on commentating duty in the ongoing BGT, lauded Guha for owning up her mistake and apologize on live TV. "Brave woman. To do it on live television and apologize, it takes some steel. You heard it from the horse's mouth.
“So as far as I am concerned, it's game over. People are entitled to make mistakes. We are all humans. In the heat of the moment, sometimes when you have the mic in hand, things can happen. To own up and say sorry, takes courage,” he said.

Firefighters are among the bravest people out there. They don't hesitate to rescue people from danger, even if it puts their own lives at risk. It can be hard to grasp how perilous the situations they often find themselves in really are, but an insightful piece of GoPro footage offers us a terrifying glimpse.
Fireman Joseth Abel Espinosa, from the Third Fire Company of Ñuñoa in Santiago, Chile, recorded the moment he and his peers entered a burning house. In the clip, Espinosa can be seen rolling out the hose and springing into action while parts house fall around him before eventually collapsing.
Between the firefighter's heavy breath and the crinkling of burning things, the sound only enhances the terrifying quality of the video. The clip may be under four minutes long, but the dangerous situation makes it feel longer and all the more intense. If it's an unnerving watch from the safety of a screen, one can only wonder what the firefighter felt beneath his suit.
“While the house was lost, thankfully nobody was injured as a result,” GoPro revealed on the video caption. The clip also won a GoPro award for offering a rare, firsthand account of the lengths firefighters go to help those in need. The company concludes, “We thank our first responders + everyday heroes for their selfless actions day in + day out.”

Former England women's team captain Isa Guha apologised to Jasprit Bumrah on live television over her ‘primate’ remark made on the India pacer on Day 2 of the ongoing third Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). Guha, who herself is an Indian-origin Englishwoman, used a racially-sensitive slur after Bumrah dismissed the Australian openers at the Gabba in Brisbane.
Guha's comments came after her co-commentator and former Australia pacer Brett Lee highly praised Bumrah after his first two wickets. "Bumrah, today: five overs, 2/4. So, that's the tone, and that’s what you want from the ex-skipper," Lee said on air.
To which Guha replied, “Well, he’s the MVP, isn’t he? Most valuable primate, Jasprit Bumrah.” For the unversed, ‘primate’ refers to a group of mammals which includes lemurs, lorises, tarsiers, monkeys, apes, and humans.
The former England cricketer's comments didn't go well on social media and faced severe backlash. Realising her fault, Guha was quick take her comments back and apologize.
With former Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist and former India cricketer Ravi Shastri by her side, Guha issued an apology on live TV on Day 3 of the Test match.
“Yesterday in commentary I used a word that can be interpreted in a number of different ways. I'd like to apologise for any offence caused. I set myself really high standards when it comes to empathy and respect of others. If you listen to the full transcript I only meant the highest praise for one of India's greatest players,” she continued.
"And someone that I admire greatly. I'm an advocate for equality and someone who has spent their career thinking about inclusion and understanding in the game. I was trying to frame the enormity of his achievement and I've chosen the wrong word. And for that I am deeply sorry.
"As someone who is also of south Asian heritage I hope people would recognise there was no other intention or malice there, and I hope this hasn't overshadowed what has been a great Test match so far - and I look forward to seeing how it progresses," Guha added.
Shastri, who is also on commentating duty in the ongoing BGT, lauded Guha for owning up her mistake and apologize on live TV. "Brave woman. To do it on live television and apologize, it takes some steel. You heard it from the horse's mouth.
“So as far as I am concerned, it's game over. People are entitled to make mistakes. We are all humans. In the heat of the moment, sometimes when you have the mic in hand, things can happen. To own up and say sorry, takes courage,” he said.

Bob Blackwell is a dying man, but he'll be the first to tell you he's not dead yet.
A seven-year survivor of pancreatic cancer, Blackwell, 49, plans to make the most of the time he has left, although he's not sure how long that may be.
After selling many of his possessions -- including a privacy fence and pool equipment -- Blackwell purchased and licensed an RV. He plans to spend the next few months fixing up the vehicle before he will take it "coast to coast," seeing the country before he dies.
First diagnosed in 2012, the McClure, Illinois, resident has gone through a 10-hour pancreaticoduodenectomy procedure (better known as the "Whipple"), 12 rounds of aggressive chemotherapy and hundreds of prescription opioids, including hydrocodone, oxycodone, fentanyl patches and Lorazepam.
His cancer came back four times in the years since his initial diagnosis, spreading most recently to his lungs and liver.
"I'm terminal," Blackwell said.
Through the use of medicinal marijuana, he was able to stop taking the cocktail of prescription drugs. Despite medical remedies, there are some pains he has learned to manage.
Episodes of chronic pancreatitis render his body partially paralyzed with intense digestive pains on a near-daily basis.
What begins as a knot in his stomach quickly becomes a "sharp, constant" pain, Blackwell said. This discomfort builds into a "stabbing pain" radiating through his stomach. Within 30 seconds, the pain forces him to the ground. In extreme situations, the agony can cause him to pass out.
Blackwell refers to them as "Whipple attacks" and said they can last anywhere from a few minutes to over an hour, depending on his diet. A 10-minute attack can leave him in bed for as long as a day, Blackwell said, noting his attacks are not often severe.
"I've learned what not to eat," Blackwell said.
While he's on the road, he expects to travel at his own leisure and as his health allows. He will continue using cannabis to treat his pain, but not before driving.
"I never get behind the wheel under the influence," Blackwell said. "... I'm not on a time schedule, so if I don't feel up to driving that day, I'll just stay where I'm at and try again the next day."
A big part of Blackwell's travel plan includes sharing his story with people along the way.
He has proudly placed the words "PANCREATIC CANCER SURVIVOR 7 YEARS" on the window of his RV's overhead cab. Side windows on the RV bear similar messages: "EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES" and "SPREADING HOPE COAST 2 COAST."
Though his plans aren't finalized, Blackwell said he wants to drive to South Carolina to visit Faith Fellowship Church. He also wants to see Las Vegas.
"I'm all about cancer walks and air shows," Bob said, noting he plans to see many national parks, including Death Valley, where the U.S. military often flies jets.
Having sold his car, Blackwell rarely leaves the house and has groceries delivered by friends and family.
Glancing around Blackwell's house, it's clear he has a mind that can't be idle. A metal fabricator by trade, Blackwell's self-contracted construction projects can be found in almost every room. In his bedroom, a repurposed pool table now serves as a bed for his uncertified service dog, Gomorrah. Laser beams bounce around the ceiling via precisely placed convex mirrors.
Though he's kept busy with small engineering-like tasks around the house, Blackwell said his home life can be lonely. But he looks forward to seeing his daughter, who drops by for a visit at least once a week.
Asked what he was thankful for, Blackwell paused briefly to reflect on his life.
"My faith and my family, in that order," Blackwell said. "You build those relationships. Wives can come and go, your parents die ... your kids are usually the ones who are going to be there for you. If they are, that's a pretty good testament you did a good job."
A conversation of any length with Blackwell clearly reveals the relationship with his daughter is far and away the most important thing in his life.
"If I need something, come hell or high water, she's there," Blackwell said. "Life is good. Yeah, cancer sucks, but I'm dying -- I'm not dead."
Jessica, who resides in Cape Girardeau and works as a master stylist at JCPenney, is the mother of two: Brooklyn, 8, and Corbin, 2.
Asked what Jessica thought about his plan to pack his belongings and hit the road, Blackwell didn't miss a beat.
"She is excited," he said with a grin.
Before he went in for the Whipple procedure at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Blackwell said he prayed one fervent prayer.
"I ain't asking for a whole lot, but I'd like to see my grandbaby graduate from kindergarten."
After a successful surgery, Blackwell walked out of the hospital only five days later -- a feat he still claims is the "record" for a Whipple patient's recovery time at Barnes-Jewish Hospital -- and would go on to see not only her graduation but the birth of a grandson.
Despite his prognosis, the continued pain, or any of the trials he may yet face, Blackwell is shrouded only in joy.
"I wouldn't change a thing."

Even now, over 500 years after its completion, researchers are still unraveling the rich imagery throughout Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel fresco. The latest discovery is one that beautifully merges medical science and art history by suggesting that Michaelangelo may have featured a woman with breast cancer in his iconic fresco.
Eight art historians and medical experts meticulously analyzed Michelangelo’s depictions of breasts within the fresco, primarily relying upon iconodiagnosis. This interdisciplinary field diagnoses representations of potential illnesses within renowned artworks. The results of their study were recently published in The Breast, an interdisciplinary journal focusing on advancements in breast cancer prevention. Ultimately, researchers identified a woman with “abnormal breast morphology” that challenges the misconception that breast cancer is solely a modern disease.
The woman sits hunched within the fresco’s The Flood panel, centering around the biblical drama of Noah’s Ark. Adorned with a blue head scarf, which signifies that she’s married, the woman clutches herself right below her right breast. When compared to other women throughout the painting, all of whom bear healthy breasts no matter their age, it becomes clear that this particular figure exhibits symptoms consistent with those of breast cancer.
The woman’s right breast is rendered with a retracted nipple, deformed skin, and the suggestion of two lumps peeking through her skin. The experts behind the study claim that the inclusion is no accident, given Michelangelo’s preoccupation with human anatomy. Throughout his artistic career, Michelangelo developed a keen understanding of the human body through his participation in autopsies, and exercised incredible precision and intentionality when depicting human bodies in his artworks.
“[Iconodiagnosis] may teach us both about diseases in history, but also gives us an insight how a ‘diseased status’ may have been ‘used’ as a stylistic metaphor in ancient times,” Andreas G. Nerlich, the lead researcher of the study, tells artnet. Indeed, Nerlich and his team posit that Michelangelo imagined breast cancer as a thematic symbol in this fresco.
“The representation of a probable breast cancer is linked to the concept of the impermanence of life and has the significance of punishment,” the study authors claim. They also note that the woman in question is pointing toward the ground, a possible memento mori and reference to her truncated life.
The discovery follows one from decades earlier, concluding that the subject of Michelangelo’s Night sculpture also had breast cancer. Both findings offer compelling insight into the history of breast cancer and its artistic representations both within and beyond Michelangelo’s oeuvre.
Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel fresco is one of the most iconic works in art history.
New research suggests that a woman with breast cancer may be featured within the Sistine Chapel fresco.
Unlike all the other women within the fresco, this particular figure has a breast consistent with symptoms of breast cancer, including a retracted nipple and lumps.

As a result, Shakib is also suspended from bowling in domestic cricket competitions outside Bangladesh and in international cricket," a BCB statement read.
“Should the results of this (reassessment) analysis clear his action, Shakib will be permitted to bowl in international cricket and in domestic cricket competitions under the jurisdiction of all national cricket federations,” it added. Despite the ban, Shakib will be eligible to play matches, though he can bat and field but cannot bowl.
Year 2024 hasn't gone well for Shakib. His international career took a different turn after his political involvement as a Member of Parliament for the Awami League government. Unfortunately, the political party was dissolved recently.
Shakib has announced his retirement from T20Is and stated that the Dhaka Test will be his last next year. The 37-year-old has been overlooked for Bangladesh's recent series against Afghanistan and West Indies. He is currently playing in the Lanka T10 League for Galle Marvels.

Bangladesh star Shakib Al Hasan has been banned from bowling in competitions approved by International Cricket Council (ICC). The development comes in after the Bangladesh all-rounder was banned by England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for an illegal bowling action. The ban comes at a crucial time for Bangladesh as it prepares for the ICC Champions Trophy, scheduled for February next year.
The development of Shakib's ban on bowling in international and domestic matches was confirmed by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). It said that the star all-rounder will take the bowling reassessment test soon.
"The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has been informed that national team allrounder Shakib Al Hasan has been suspended from bowling in competitions under the jurisdiction of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

“Should the results of this (reassessment) analysis clear his action, Shakib will be permitted to bowl in international cricket and in domestic cricket competitions under the jurisdiction of all national cricket federations,” it added. Despite the ban, Shakib will be eligible to play matches, though he can bat and field but cannot bowl.
Year 2024 hasn't gone well for Shakib. His international career took a different turn after his political involvement as a Member of Parliament for the Awami League government. Unfortunately, the political party was dissolved recently.

Sonakshi Sinha is in no mood to get out of her comfort zone and experiment something new. Be it clothes or scripts, she just can't take a break from them. And may be that's why she chose to step out in a wet saree rather than a bikini for a scene in her upcoming movie, R... Rajkumar.

While there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Missouri, officials are taking steps to prevent the disease’s spread and prepare for any cases that may develop.
Southeast Missouri State University is suspending all university-affiliated travel to certain countries affected by COVID-19, commonly known as the coronavirus, in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations, according to a message sent by university president Carlos Vargas late Wednesday.
While no cases have been confirmed at Southeast, university officials continue to regularly monitor guidance from the CDC, World Health Organization, and state and local health officials, according to the message.
All university-affiliated travel to China, Italy, Iran and South Korea is suspended until further notice. The list could be expanded as the CDC updates its travel guidance.
“In accordance with CDC guidance, we also strongly recommend that all members of the Southeast community avoid any personal travel to those countries,” the message stated.
Spring break will be from March 16 to 20, and the message recommends Southeast students, faculty and staff “strongly consider the necessity of any upcoming, personal travel.”
“If you plan to travel internationally, be mindful of the increased risk of exposure to the coronavirus. In addition to potential exposure, you could experience unexpected travel delays and cumbersome logistics upon returning to the United States, including the potential for missed work or classes due to self-quarantine,” the message stated.
“We appreciate the help of every member of our community as we journey through this public health issue,” Vargas said in the message.
Jackson School District spokeswoman Merideth Pobst said the district sent out an informational email to all parents Monday, to answer potential questions about the disease and how the district is responding.
The message included links to factual information, and general tips to avoid the spread of any illness, such as the flu, Pobst said.
Beth Emmendorfer, assistant superintendent of elementary and student services with the district, has been in regular communication with the county health department on best practices and updated information, Pobst said.
Custodial staff is also wiping desks down more often, and cleaning high-traffic areas more frequently, Pobst said. They’ve also added some hand-sanitizer dispensers to keep ahead of demand.
In the Cape Girardeau School District, spokeswoman Kristin Tallent said, in accordance with recommendations from the CDC, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) and county health department, “Our focus right now is on the steps we can take as a district to help prevent the spread of any respiratory illness.”
Thorough cleanliness of buildings is a top priority, Tallent said.
“We have five electrostatic cleaning machines that are utilized by buildings regularly and are currently all being used to help disinfect buildings,” Tallent said.
School nurses and teachers are reminding students of the importance of proper hygiene, she added: “While it’s an important message for our students, we feel it is also important for adults to hear, too.”
Information packets will go to families Friday, asking to help keep buildings clean and safe by keeping students home until they are fever-free for at least 24 hours, and to disinfect backpacks and school items, Tallent said.
SoutheastHEALTH chief medical officer Dr. Matt Janzow said in a statement that the coronavirus is not new, but COVID-19, the disease caused by a particular coronavirus, is.
In response, SoutheastHEALTH and its satellite facilities follow protocols set forth by the DHSS and the CDC.
“The best thing individuals can do to avoid getting the coronavirus, or seasonal flu, is to wash your hands regularly with soap and water, making sure to wash for at least 20 seconds and getting the backs of your hands and under your fingernails. Hand sanitizer with an ethyl alcohol content of 70 percent is also useful when soap and water are not readily available,” Janzow said in his statement.
As of Monday, according to the statement, state officials reported more than 60 people have been evaluated for COVID-19 due to travel or exposure history or symptoms. Samples from fewer than 15 people were formally tested for the infection. None have come back positive.
Saint Francis Healthcare System released a joint statement from Gayla Tripp, manager of infection prevention and environmental services, and Dr. Edward LaValle III, chairman of the health care system’s infection prevention committee.
“Saint Francis Healthcare System is preparing for the potential influx of infectious patients due to Coronavirus,” the statement reads.
Evolving guidance from the CDC is continually being implemented into the system’s practices, according to the statement, and within the next two weeks, an exercise to test internal processes will be conducted.
“We are currently seeing patients with symptoms of flu, as expected for this time of year,” the statement continues. “We have screening questions at every point of patient registration ... designed to identify potential infectious patients upon arrival.”
Bishop Edward Rice of the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau sent a letter to clergy and parishioners Wednesday recommending precautions be taken to protect against the spread of illness.
Those precautions include suspending the sign of peace handshaking ritual; suspending the distribution of communion via the chalice; sanitizing holy water fonts; and encouraging good hygiene practices.
According to World Health Organization data, worldwide, as of Thursday morning, just more than 80,000 cases had been confirmed, and nearly 3,000 deaths reported.
In the United States, according to the CDC, 99 total cases are confirmed, with 10 deaths, in 13 states, since Jan. 21.
Missouri is not one of those states with a confirmed case.
Jane Wernsman, executive director of the Cape Girardeau County Public Health Center, said there are no cases in Cape Girardeau County or in Missouri “that we are aware of.”
For prevention, “I think they’ve found that social distancing measures when you’re ill can greatly help reduce the spread of most communicable diseases,” Wernsman said.
“We know now it’s spread by coughing, sneezing, or close personal contact such as touching or shaking hands,” Wernsman said. “Good basic hygiene and measures like that are helpful.”
Wernsman said officials are continuing to closely monitor the situation, including the Cape Girardeau County infectious disease task force, which met last week to update health care providers, school officials and others.
“The task force routinely meets and monitors new and emerging communicable diseases,” Wernsman said. “We have a community awareness and community effort, and a group that is looking at all different aspects of disease prevention.”

Officials recommended these practices to prevent disease transmission

Why Is Kareena Kapoor Khan Miffed?
Apparently, the actress is immensely offended with her own agency that considered green-signalling an anti-ageing cream ad offered to her.
Indisputably one of the finest performers and hottest babes in Bollywood today, Kareena Kapoor Khan recently encountered something that drove her up the wall.
Apparently, the actress is immensely offended with her own agency that considered green-signalling an anti-ageing cream ad offered to her.
Reportedly, the cosmetic brand had offered a whopping amount to the 33-year-old Kapoor girl. And her agency found the offer too tempting to turn down.
But Kareena, who feels she is too young to endorse an anti-ageing product, didn't quite like it, and gave her piece of mind to her agency.

Wondered How Will I Bash Up Akshay?
Indiatimes.com spoke to Ronit to find out about the experience of bashing up Akshay Kumar and playing the main villain in Boss
From being India’s favorite prime-time face as Mihir Virani; the ideal son on Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, to playing the strict, self-centered father of a confused teenager in Udaan; actor Ronit Roy has displayed immense versatility.
Recently seen in a delightful cameo as the coach in Karan Johar’s Student of The Year, as well as the encounter cop in Shootout At Wadala - Ronit is in an interesting phase of his acting career.
Next week he will be taking-on none other than Akshay Kumar in Boss, where he plays the main antagonist and has some heavy-duty fight sequences with the Khiladi Kumar. Indiatimes.com spoke to Ronit to find out more about this fiery role and the experience of bashing up Akshay Kumar.
You have been presented in a very powerful way in the promos of Boss, at–par with the hero, Akshay Kumar. How did this role happen to you?
Credit goes to three people here. The director Tony, our writers Sajid-Farhad and Akshay Kumar. When Sajid-Farhad came for the narration, I told them, ‘this sounds like a super-hit film, so why have you come to me?’
They told me they wanted me as the villain. So I was even more surprised, and I asked them to check whether Akshay Kumar would be ready to work with a TV actor. Then they revealed that Akshay had already heard the narration, and he was very keen to have me play the part (it did not have a name back then).
Some days later Akshay Kumar himself called up to check why I was hesitating. So I told him 'Praa, this is a super-hit film, but how will people accept me bashing you (the king of action) up?’
So he just said 'Main Sambhal Loonga'. Tony, Sajid and Farhad also said that they would direct and write it in a way that is ‘Dhaasu’. So it felt really nice when so many people showed confidence in my ability.
__PAGEBREAK__
Did you know Akshay Kumar personally before Boss?
Akshay is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I have worked with him before and I am very fond of the man.
Now, this film has a lot of fistfights and hand-to-hand combat. That’s quite unlike the other work you have done. So how did you get into shape to fight Akshay shirtless?
Yes, for that I basically got into serious bodybuilding. My body was always fit, but not fit enough to take on Akshay Kumar.
But when Akshay had put so much confidence in me, this fitness was my contribution to the opportunity and his faith.
So I had 12 nightmarish months in which I had to eat on time, sleep on time, workout for three hours…To an extent that my body went for a toss, as I hadn’t trained so hard ever. Plus my doctor was dead against me using supplements, so while that was good in a way, the effort was much more.
__PAGEBREAK__
Are you playing a hardcore villain or are there grey shades as well to your character?
There is no redemption to this character. He does not have a single grey bone in his body. He is completely black. So yes, all-black hardcore-villain is a correct way to put it. But when you surrender to a script you don’t think about these things.
And it looks like you had a lot of fun being bad, as the promos look great…
I was only stuck in this one scene with Mithun Da. Now I love Mithun Da since ages. So while you know you are just playing a character, a part to you is aware that it is Mithun Chakraborthy. I have worked with him a lot and I am a huge fan.
So Dada caught my hesitation and told me to forget everything and go all out. But imagine me chucking out Mithun Da from a police station!
The fight between Akshay and you looks like a highlight in the film…
That’s the climax. It is a hand-to-hand combat between the hero and villain. It was like a real combat as there were no extras or fighters. The sequence was shot in a cement quarry and 42 degrees was the land temperature. It was so hot that the cement would drip. Also being a quarry they would keep blasting dynamite, so a cloud of dust used to come on us. We all needed masks on. So when Akshay heard about the troubles the unit was facing, he took a stand that we would not shoot in those two hours when it was the hottest. So the unit also got a few hours of rest. It was a great gesture on Akshay’s part.
__PAGEBREAK__
This is an exciting innings for you as an actor, compared to your initial years. Are you happy with the way things are progressing?
I am very excited, as there is no pressure of stardom. I am free to play the villain, do a cameo like Shootout At Wadala, and even do an Udaan. Then once again I am working with Anurag Kashyap in Ugly. That’s a very dark film. Karan Johar has given me a special appearance in 2 States. I am playing Arjun’s father and it’s a very heartfelt, nice, intense role.
Also these days, producers understand television and respect it.
So I get the space to be on TV twice a week. That’s a responsibility I have towards my TV fans. Of course they want to see me five times a week, but guess that is not possible right now. All in all the audience is getting what they want and I am doing the roles I like, so it is nice.
But what do fans who love you as Mihir have to say about you playing a villain?
I am in touch with my fans through Email, WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter. Fans are very intelligent and like to see good work. There are some female fans who don’t want to see me play Arjun Kapoor’s father. They feel I look like his brother (laughs). But then that is the challenge!

Akshay With Chacha Chaudharay, Sabu
Akshay Kumar's forthcoming action entertainer Boss has been integrated with cult comic series Chacha Choudhry as part of the movie's promotions.
Akshay Kumar's forthcoming action entertainer Boss has been integrated with cult comic series Chacha Choudhry as part of the movie's promotions.
Due to the strong recall of Chacha Chaudhary's comics across generations, the makers decided to join hands with the comic series to promote Boss. The makers says there are certain similarities between Boss (the character that Akshay plays) and Chacha Chaudhary, the comic book's protagonist.
While Chaudhary solves people's problems, Akshay too helps those in distress, and both do so in their own funny way, in the film.
On featuring in the comic, Akshay says "I've been a fan of Chacha Chaudhary and Sabu (the alien who helps Chacha Chaudhary fight criminals) since childhood. I am honoured that my character will now be featured alongside them in a special comic book."
Akshay Kumar will be launching the special edition comic book and it will be printed in English as well as Hindi.

Enrique Iglesias, Anna Kournikova Split?
Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias and girl friend Anna Kournikova are reportedly heading for a split after staying together for 12 years.
Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias and girl friend Anna Kournikova are reportedly heading for a split after staying together for 12 years.
The couple have hit a rough patch because the 38-year-old singer, son of legendary Spanish crooner Julio Iglesias, is not rushing into marriage, reported the Huffington Post.
"Anna is getting tired of waiting for him to decide if he wants to marry her or not. They've been together for so long, she feels like it's never going to happen. She is ready to move on," a source said.
Despite rumours in May that Iglesias and 32-year-old Kournikova were due to tie the knot, his management team insisted that they have "no intention" to marry in the near future.
Last year, the 'Hero' hitmaker was forced to deny that they had secretly wed after calling Kournikova his wife, in Russian, while at a gig in her native country.

Leaders of the Newman Center at Southeast Missouri State University on Thursday vacated the building at 512 N. Pacific St. they have called home for 58 years to make way for demolition and the construction of a new center in its place.
The Newman Center is home to the Catholic Campus Ministry at Southeast and encompasses three buildings at the Pacific Street location: the Marquette Student Center, the Newman Center and the St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel.
Before the buildings are razed, several events honoring the Newman Center’s first home will be held this weekend, including its final Masses, a ceremonial groundbreaking, an alumni barbecue and the center’s annual wine-tasting benefit.
The weekend kicks off at noon Saturday with the farewell barbecue for alumni, which will feature trivia and yard games, as well as select memorabilia for donations. The barbecue will last until 3 p.m. and will take place at 512 N. Pacific St.
A few hours later, the center’s annual wine-tasting event will take place at Deerfield Lodge, 6275 County Road 313 in Cape Girardeau. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the wine tasting will begin at 7 p.m. The event benefits the Newman Center’s missionary service activities and will feature hor d’oeuvres, live music, a silent auction, raffles and prizes.
The weekend of events continues Sunday with three final Masses in the St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel at 11:30 a.m., 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Bishop Edward M. Rice of the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau will preside over the final 8 p.m. Mass.
On Sunday afternoon, the bishop will join Newman Center leaders, students, faculty and community members to host a ceremonial groundbreaking for the new center. The groundbreaking will take place at 1:30 p.m. in the front yard of the Newman Center.
The Newman Center will be temporarily housed at 902 College Hill Place, a stone’s throw from where construction on the new center will take place.
The Newman Center was formed at Southeast in 1914, when sisters Gertrude and Frances Chester sought to establish a club for Catholic students and faculty members, according to a Southeast Missourian article from 1986. Back then, it was known as the Newman Club, but today’s students know the house near the corner of Normal Avenue and Pacific Street as the Catholic Campus Ministry.
Today, there simply isn’t enough space to accommodate the number of students, faculty and community members who attend Masses and events at the Newman Center.
Deacon Tom Schumer, director of the Newman Center, said the ministry serves about 300 students each week. More than 100 students attend the ministry’s Bible studies, of which Schumer said there are about 20 small groups each week. In addition to those activities, the center also offers weekly social events, which he said typically draws between 20 and 40 students.
Construction on the new, 18,000-square-foot St. John Henry Newman Center is projected to be completed in the late spring 2021, Schumer said, and will house under one roof a new 7,000-square-foot worship space, two classrooms for what will become the Aquinas Institute for Catholic Studies, a multipurpose room with the capacity for about 150 people, a student lounge, and of course, a “nice kitchen.”
“One thing that’s true about every college student — you can win them through their stomach,” Schumer said with a laugh. “So we’ll have much better ability and capacity to do community meals and things of that nature.”
The only potential holdup that could delay construction, Schumer said, is the bidding process.
“If we get some surprise in the bidding process, maybe the process could be delayed,” Schumer said, “but we really don’t anticipate that.”
Schumer said the Newman Center has secured pledges in excess of $5.2 million for the new facility. Of that, he said they’ve got just more than $3 million in cash on hand.
“We’re not a parish and ... we depend fully on the generosity of the community and faithful people,” Schumer said. “We weren’t going to be allowed to begin our construction project until we had 100% of anticipated building cost pledged and 50% of anticipated building costs in hand in cash.”
Thanks to support from the community, Newman Center leaders were able to accomplish both of those financial goals in less than 10 months, Schumer said.
“It’s all by divine providence and the goodness of God’s people,” he said.
A definitive date for demolition has not been scheduled, as all three buildings will first need to have asbestos surveys completed, Schumer said. Demolition should take place by the end of the month, he said, but could bleed into April, depending on the findings of the surveys.
While the new facility is under construction, Sunday Mass times and locations will look a little different. The Catholic Campus Ministry’s 11:30 a.m. Mass will be held at Rose Theatre, 400 N. Pacific St. at Southeast, and its 6 p.m. Mass will be held at St. Mary’s Cathedral, 615 William St. in Cape Girardeau. The 8 p.m. Mass time will be temporarily discontinued, Schumer said.
Weekday Masses, at 5:15 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and noon Fridays, will be held next week in the chapel, and after spring break, will be held at 902 College Hill Place.
Asked whether the final Masses would be bittersweet for him, Schumer, who is in his seventh academic year as director, said, “Very much so.”
“In those seven years, I don’t know how many times I’ve gone to Mass in this little chapel, but it’s easily in the hundreds,” Schumer said. “To have participated in the most sacred event this side of heaven that many times in a particular space, it transcends sentimentality.”

Southeast Missouri State University students and adult learners will soon have the chance to pursue Catholic education for college credit.
The Aquinas Institute for Catholic Studies will be the first of its kind in Southeast Missouri, according to Deacon Tom Schumer, director of the Newman Center at Southeast. For a price point that will be “much the same” as what credits cost through Southeast, Schumer said students will have access to courses in the Catholic theological tradition.
Courses in the Aquinas Institute for Catholic Studies will be offered through a partnership the Newman Center will have with an accredited Catholic university, Schumer said, noting he was not yet at liberty to disclose the name of the school.
The Newman Center at 512 N. Pacific St., as well as two other buildings belonging to the Catholic Campus Ministry, will soon be demolished to make way for an 18,000-square-foot building, which will be known as the St. John Henry Newman Center. The new center will house classrooms for use by the institute and will be led by a familiar face.
Southeast alumnus Gideon Barr, class of 2014, will return to campus in the fall as the director of the Aquinas Institute for Catholic Studies. Barr is earning a doctoral degree in moral theology from Ave Maria University, a private Catholic institution in Ave Maria, Florida.
There’s an “often unnoticed” crisis in Catholic higher education, Barr said. Because of demographic shifts, whether they be cultural, geographic or financial, he said Catholic students don’t go to Catholic colleges anymore.
“We just want to make available to them the tradition that is their own, sort of by birthright, once again,” he said.
In 2013, Barr was a senior and president of a student leadership council at the Newman Center when Schumer became director. The two connected immediately, Schumer said, and have stayed close since Barr graduated from Southeast.
But when Barr first came to the Catholic Campus Ministry, he was new to the Catholic tradition.
“I didn’t grow up Catholic,” Barr said. “There wasn’t an institute at the time but Father Patrick (Nwokoye), the then-chaplain, invited me into a book study ... so for me, that was that point of exposure to the Catholic tradition, and a welcome one.”
The Newman Center is a place where students can find that first point of exposure with Catholicism, be it through Mass, Bible studies, social events, retreats or mission trips. But until the idea for the institute was born, there wasn’t a good way for Newman Center leaders to educate students after that initial encounter.
“Students have an encounter with the person of Jesus Christ. Their very next question is, ‘OK, I feel something. Is it true?’” Schumer said. “That quest for the truth is what we’re really here for.” The Aquinas Institute for Catholic Studies will allow faith leaders at the Newman Center to dive deeper with students into theology.
“It’s all about serving individual souls in their pursuit of truth about the person of Jesus Christ and his Church,” Schumer said.
The new center will be named for St. John Henry Newman, who Schumer said was a proponent of higher learning at the university level.
“Newman and Aquinas are two of the great minds in the Catholic theological tradition,” Schumer said. “And to have those two patron saints coming together in this process of offering expanded and very much needed ministry to our students and to our community is just an incredible blessing.”
Schumer said the Aquinas Institute for Catholic Studies has the blessing from Bishop Edward M. Rice of the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau. “Bishop Rice has heard about this and has embraced it as something that he really wants for the diocese,” he said.
In addition to support from the bishop, Schumer said he and Barr have talked with community leaders to help get the word out about the institute.
“It’s happening,” Schumer said of the institute. “It’s part of the plan.”
Schumer said the Aquinas Institute for Catholic Studies should be open by the fall of 2021. Construction of the St. John Henry Newman Center is projected for completion by late spring of that year.

A series of “unclear and disorganized threats” were reported to 911 operators in Cape Girardeau during calls early Thursday morning, according to police Sgt. Joey Hann.
The caller’s location was tracked to the Red Star Boat Dock, where officers found and safely detained a male juvenile without incident, Hann stated.
The calls began coming in around midnight when the caller gave reports of subjects with rifles on Broadway, and officers were dispatched near the area of Dollar General.
“Several additional calls were placed by the same caller claiming that the suspects had an armored vehicle and were planning acts of violence,” Hann stated.
Following the initial reports of rifles and an armored vehicle, the 911 caller made additional calls claiming he was taken hostage, according to Hann, and the caller warned 911 operators of explosive devices in the city.
More than 10 emergency vehicles responded to the caller’s location, and no armored car, firearms or explosives were found by police.
According to Hann, the incident was either a hoax or a result of a mental episode.
“The Cape Girardeau Police Department would like to inform the public that any false report made to 911 can result in criminal charges and reports of a serious nature can result in felony charges,” Hann stated. “False reports and hoaxes can also overwhelm emergency resources and cause someone with an actual emergency to not receive a prompt response from emergency services at a crucial time.”

Triskaidekaphobia, or fear of the number 13, has been around for centuries, said Christy Mershon, interim director of the Economic and Business Engagement Center at Southeast Missouri State University.
Friday is an unlucky day, too.
So why not have a ghost tour or two on Friday the 13th?
Mershon has been leading these ghost tours, or haunted walking tours, in Cape Girardeau for more than a decade, she said.
"When people think of Cape Girardeau, they think 'old town,'" Mershon said -- perfect for the spooky fun of leading a group through eerie spaces under the moon.
That, and the history at the heart of every community, is what keeps Mershon leading these tours.
Mershon said the tours were born out of a convergence of two seemingly unrelated phenomena: an aging out of core volunteers who were undertaking Cape Girardeau's historic preservation efforts, and shows such as "Ghost Hunters" that helped spur haunted tours of major cities, such as Boston and New Orleans.
"They're haunted history tours," Mershon said of the televised programs. "I saw that I could get more people to come to spaces if it was about a haunted tour."
That, and it's a sneaky history lesson, she added, laughing.
Mershon is also interim director of the university's Continuing Education program and involved with Cape Girardeau's Glenn House historic site, and continually seeks ways to engage people.
It's part of the university's core mission of bringing the region's history into the present day in a meaningful way, she noted.
Haunted tours are a great way to draw people in who might not otherwise visit a space.
"I'm not a historian," Mershon said, although she does have a minor in historic preservation, but she loves emails she'll get sometimes after a tour when a participant finds something she got wrong.
"It's great," she said. "Now these people have a care for a building, a family, history that they didn't know about before."
Mershon said she's seeing more people interested in holding weddings at historic sites, too.
There are more ways to interact with historic sites than being led by a docent knowledgeable in architecture styles and furniture trends throughout different historic periods, Mershon said.
And ghost stories are appealing. "It goes back to the bardic tradition, storytelling around a fire," Mershon said. "I think we tend to lose that in adulthood."
Mershon said the tours generally last around two hours, and originally, she'd planned to speak for the entire time. But, she discovered, people on the tour often want to share their own bits of family history.
"It's like a little confessional," Mershon said, with people queueing up to tell stories, some funny, some outrageous, all folkloric.
Mershon said she's fascinated by some of the common threads she sees in these stories, both that she hears from people and that she picks up in her research.
Bad luck, the number 13, and Fridays are just a few of the recurring themes, she said.
Biblically, the 13th apostle was Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus to the Romans, she said.
Going back even further, the Code of Hammurabi, a list of laws dating back to about 1700 B.C., skipped the 13th law, going from 12 to 14 -- just as many high-rise buildings do when numbering floors.
Borrowing from that long history for a ghost tour of downtown Cape Girardeau felt like a natural step, Mershon said.
Also, she said, "Seriously, it's just fun."
Friday's tour will meet at Boardman Pavilion, in the parking lot in front of Art Van Furniture, at 7:30 p.m., Mershon said.
To register, call (583) 986-6979 or visit engage.semo.edu for online registration.
Only one session is scheduled, but a second could be added for overflow if needed, Mershon said.
Chaffee Drive-In is open for the season as of Monday, March 2, according to the company's Facebook page.
They'll be open until late September.
Find them at 200 S. Main St. in Chaffee, Missouri.
Today is World Day of Prayer, a worldwide ecumentical celebration of Christian women, coming together to observe a common day of prayer and action.
One celebration will be observed today at 12:30 p.m. at New McKendree United Methodist Church, 225 S. High St. in Jackson.
Tonight is also the First Friday celebration in downtown Cape Girardeau.
Several galleries, shops and restaurants will hold special events tonight, including "Interpretations: Dad and Daughter" at the Arts Council of Southeast Missouri, 16 N. Spanish St. in Cape Girardeau. Artists Dave Walker and Hannah Smith's show will demonstrate how a father and daughter, different generations, different media, can interpret each other's art. That show opens at 5 p.m. tonight.
Also at the Arts Council, two artists' work will be shown together in "Two Artists / Two Paths Exibition" in the micro galleries -- and two receptions will be held. Tonight, from 5 to 9 p.m., will be Ruth Andre's reception, and from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Caroline Thompson will be honored.
Wine and hors d'oeuvres will be served at both receptions.
The Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center will hold a free, all-ages, no registration required presentation on morel mushrooms and other beginner-friendly fungi. The program is from 6:30 to 7:30 tonight at the Nature Center, 2289 County Park Drive in Cape Girardeau. In-depth information on where to find the mushrooms, how to safely identify them, and more will be covered. Morel season is just weeks away, and this is a great opportunity to learn a new skill about a delicious treat.

Radio personality Cousin Carl may have retired, but his namesake farm show is on for this weekend -- today from 10 to 6, Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Arena Park. Free admission. Ag vendors, a farm toy show, a parade, food, and two tractor pulls are all on offer.
I talked with David Powers, president of the Egypt Mills Antique Tractor Club and owner of Powers Electric, about the tractor pulls.
At 9 a.m. Saturday, the lawn and garden tractor pull will see participants from four states, including Indiana, Powers said.
Then, at 1 p.m. Saturday, the antique tractor pull for tractors 1959 and older will take place.
Of the farm show, Powers said, "I like that we can see our local businesses, and we're not seeing the big box stores necessarily. We have a lot of farm-owned businesses."
This is the tractor club's 40th anniversary, Powers said, and they have a few events lined up for this year, including a celebration in June and another in August.
"We've been really growing the last five years or so," Powers said.

Three Cape Girardeau-based bands will perform live, original music tonight in a show at Shakers Bar in downtown Cape.
Isabella, Guy Morgan and The Scatterguns will team up for a downtown throwdown at the bar, 2 N. Main St. in Cape Girardeau.
Zach Smith, guitarist for Isabella, said the band's sound is a little bit pop punk with some alternative rock or metal thrown into the mix.
Smith said Isabella has a new album cmoing out later this spring, and just finished a collaborative writing process.
He's looking forward to the show, he said, because the band's following is strong in Southeast Missouri.
Isabella has played Warped Tour and Pointfest in St. Louis, Smith said, but the clubs in Cape Girardeau have a different energy.
Josh Tomlin, frontman for The Scatterguns, said of the band's sound, "It's very Southeast Missouri." Southern rock played through a punk rock filter, he said, but with heavy metal, punk rock, hard rock influences. "We have a pretty heavy, pretty loud, sometimes abrasive sound but a lot of the lyrical themes could be country or southern rock songs," Tomlin said. "They're about small town isolation, rural economic depression, fear of change and also that stubborn pride of where you're from."
Nate Comer, aka Party Nate, is lead singer and plays lead guitar for Guy Morgan, a full-on rock & roll band with a punk rock attitude, as he put it.
Guy Morgan also has a new album coming out this summer -- the band's fourth, he said, and will be titled "Welcome to Bikini Beach."
"We're all about old school party movies, beach movies, all that good stuff," Comer said.
"All three of these good bands will be under one roof," Comer said of tonight's show. "Getting all these bands with different sounds together, that's the main thing. People can come check us out, and if you don't like one band, you'll like the next one. And," he added, "have your surfboard ready."
Music starts tonight at 8, 2 N. Main St. in Cape Girardeau. $5 at the door, 21 and up.
The Venable/LaPierre annual piano scholarship concert will be presented from 3 to 4 p.m. Sunday, at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Jackson. Minneapolis-based pianist Casey Rafn will perform. He is an active freelance pianist, performing at home and abroad as both a collaborative player and a solo pianist.
The concert will fund a scholarship for Jackson students seeking to study the performing arts at a post-secondary level. Matt Palisch, director of music and organist at St. Paul, coordinates the fund.
Attend the concert from 3 to 4 p.m. Sunday at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 223 W. Adams St. in Jackson.
In addition to weekly Friday fish fries held in the region during Lent, the H.O.P.E. Campaign will be hosting a fish fry on March 27, the proceeds of which will benefit individuals affected by cancer.
The Jones family established the Larry B. Jones H.O.P.E. Campaign -- which stands for Healing, Optimism, Prayer and Example -- to remember the late Larry Jones who died from cancer on March 14, 2011. In support of survivors and their families, the campaign provides "love offerings" to contribute toward medical care expenses. Lori Galati of the Jones family said in a press release that the foundation remembers their sister Sara who passed away in her sleep in 2012, and also honors the memory of their mother, who passed away from cancer in 2016.
Established March 2011, the Larry B. Jones H.O.P.E. Campaign has raised over $114,000 since its start. It partners with the Ben Kruse 18 FORE Life Foundation, which also benefits individuals with cancer in the southeast Missouri area. The fish fry will take place at 4:30 p.m. on March 27 at Trinity United Methodist Church in Bloomfield, and tickets may be purchased from the family or at Allen Christian Buick GMC in Dexter, or through the H.O.P.E. Campaign website.

ECOWAS also extended the mandate of the presidents of Togo and Senegal to continue their mediation role up to the end of the transition period to bring the three member countries back.
The Authority of Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS has given Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger six months, from 29 January to 29 July 2025, to reconsider their decision to exit the regional bloc.
President of the ECOWAS Commissioner Omar Touray, announced the six-month grace period on Sunday in Abuja after the 66th Ordinary Session of the Authority of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government.
"The Authority takes note of the notification by the Republic of Burkina Faso, Republic of Mali and Republic of Niger of their decision to withdraw from ECOWAS.
"The Authority acknowledges that by the provisions of Article 91 of the revised ECOWAS Treaty, the three countries will officially cease to be members of ECOWAS from 29 January 2025.
"The Authority decides to set the period from 29 January 2025 to 29 July 2025, as a transitional period and to keep ECOWAS doors open to the three countries during the transition period.
"In this regard, the Authority extends the mandate of the President of Togo and the President of Senegal to continue their mediation role up to the end of the transition period to bring the three member countries back to ECOWAS.
"Without prejudice to the spirit of the opening, the Authority directs the President of the Commission to launch withdrawal formalities after the end of the deadline of 29 January 2025 and to draw up a contingency plan covering various areas.
"The Authority directs the Council of Ministers to convene an Extraordinary Session during the 2nd quarter of 2025 to consider and adopt both separation modalities and the contingency plan covering political and economic relations between ECOWAS and the Republic of Niger, Republic of Mali and Burkina Faso," Mr Touray read from the communiqué.
ECOWAS leaders commended the exemplary diplomatic engagement of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye of Senegal and President Faure Gnassingbé of Togo, as well as the diplomatic efforts of the Chairman of the Authority of ECOWAS, President Bola Tinubu, and other individual member states toward the three countries.
In his closing remarks, President Tinubu commended the ECOWAS Heads of State and Government for spirited discussions throughout the Summit.
He noted that the collective resolve underscored their strength to address the region's pressing challenges.
"As we move forward to implement the outcomes of this Summit, let us remain united in our determination and steadfast in our commitment to the principles that bind us together as a Community.
"I call on all member states to redouble their efforts in ensuring that the decisions reached here translate into tangible benefits for our citizens," he said.
The Nigerian leader encouraged the leaders to carry forward the optimism and the resolve that guided the deliberations.
"Together, let us continue to champion the cause of a peaceful, secure, and prosperous West Africa, to build ECOWAS as a community of peoples anchored on the ideals of freedom, justice, democracy, and a vision of good governance that addresses the legitimate aspirations of our people," he said.
President Tinubu congratulated the outgoing Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Moussa Mahamat, as he attended his valedictory session as AUC Chair.
He further praised Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo, whom he fondly called "Mr. Democrat," and wished him resounding success.
He said ECOWAS will continue to draw from President Akufo-Addo's fountain of wisdom.

Abuja, Nigeria — Nigerian authorities in oil-rich Rivers State unveiled on Friday six military-grade gunboats to help security agents battle the piracy and oil theft that have plagued the Niger Delta region for decades. The latest measure is part of a broader crackdown aiming at boosting Nigeria's oil production.
Local singers and dancers enthralled hundreds of delegates at the ceremony marking the handover of six military gunboats to Nigeria's navy in southern Rivers State.
It's the latest effort by state authorities to support a national crackdown on oil thieves and to check piracy along the waterways in the Niger Delta.
Officials said the boats will bolster the navy's ability to patrol and respond to threats, especially near submerged oil export pipelines, which are often prone to attacks by thieves.
Siminalayi Fubara is the Rivers State governor.
"We're doing logistics support to the Nigerian navy, who are the closest agency that can battle the ones off the land," said Fubara. "It's a big problem. When you see the technology involved in the lines, you'd see that it's not small engineering, it's a professional thing."
Nigeria has long declared a war on crude oil theft, but the problem has continued to cut into the government's income and disrupt exports.
Authorities estimate the country loses $10 billion every year, or the equivalent of about 200,000 barrels of oil per day, to illegal actors.
Corruption, lack of security, and poor regulation have hindered authorities' ability to effectively curb the problem.
Fubara said in addition to heightening security measures, state authorities will expand investments in infrastructure, health care and education in local communities most prone to oil theft to dissuade them from the practice.
"This problem is not just a problem that attacking those people on the field can solve," said Fubara. "What we need is a total reorientation. You need to engage them."
The state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Company said this week that 94 incidents of crude oil theft occurred between November 30 and December 6.
On Thursday, the Nigerian military said its 90-day Operation Delta Safe, a program that aimed to reduce oil theft and increase production, was successful upon its conclusion in mid-October.
Rear Admiral John Okeke is commander of the operation. He spoke to journalists.
"We've been able to arrest, and the appropriate handling of over 300 vehicles comprising trucks, tankers, cars, tricycles conveying crude oil and illegal products," said Okeke. "Similarly, we've been able to handle over 15 million liters of stolen crude oil and about four million liters of illegally refined automotive gasoline oil."
Authorities say Nigeria plans to use drones, automated metering systems and other technology to monitor its oil pipelines next year.

Together, they navigate a battle of faith, science, and willpower in their fight against evil.
Song Hye Kyo steps into the role of Sister Junia, ready to mesmerize audiences with her performance. Following her massive success in the Netflix series The Glory, expectations for the actress remain exceptionally high. Jeon Yeo Been, known for her standout role in Vincenzo, takes on the role of Sister Michaela. The collaboration between these two talented actresses has heightened fans' excitement tenfold.
The upcoming film is set to be released on January 24, 2025.

Improve Haemoglobin: Iron Sources for Vegetarians
Iron for vegetarians:
It is important to boost haemoglobin levels, by consuming iron rich foods. Nutritionist, Neelanjana Singh reinforces this point, “Vegetarians often run the risk of having low iron levels. This is because vegetarians don't have many iron sources. It is therefore, crucial to recognise good vegetarian sources of iron.”

Iron in cereals:
“Amongst cereals, the millets ( Bajra, Ragi, Jowar) are reasonably good sources. Rice flakes or chidwa is another cereal that should be included in the diet for better iron availability,” says Neelanjana. Cereals are also rich in fibre, calcium and carbohydrates.

Iron in Pulses:
The nutritionist adds that there are a variety of pulses, which are good iron sources, “As far as pulses are concerned, most legumes and pulses provide iron requirements in the vegetarian diet. Bengal gram, in the roasted form as well as Bengal gram dal is a good source. Horse gram, kidney beans, peas and soyabean are all good sources of iron. Tofu made from soy milk can contribute to the iron content of a vegetarian’s diet in a big way.”

Iron in Green Leafy Vegetables:
Spinach is the most common source of iron, but there are several other green leafy vegetables, which Neelanjana Singh says are high in iron, “Green leafy vegetables are rich sources of iron. Amongst these, the leaves of amaranth (cholai), mustard, radish and fenugreek leaves are better sources than spinach. In addition to these leaves, it is a good idea to incorporate cauliflower greens, as they are an excellent source of iron.”

The lawyer from Mr Afe Babalola's law firm seeks N500 million in damages against Mr Farotimi for unlawful defamation of his character in the book, and N100 million in damages for distributing the book.
Another lawyer from Afe Babalola's law firm has filed a N600 million libel suit against Dele Farotimi.
Ola Faro filed the suit at the Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt on 11 December, alleging that Mr Farotimi defamed him in his controversial book, 'Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System'.
The suit comes on the heel of an earlier one regarding the content of the book filed at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Abuja by Kehinde Ogunwumiju, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and managing partner at Afe Babalola & Co.
Mr Ogunwumiju obtained on Wednesday an interim order for the seizure of the physical copies of the book ahead of further hearing in the case, which seeks N500 million in damages against Mr Farotimi.
Aside from the civil cases, the police are prosecuting Mr Farotimi on charges of criminal defamation at a chief magistrate's court and cybercrime at the Federal High Court, both in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State.
The criminal cases were prompted by a petition Mr Babalola sent to the police in Ekiti State, alleging criminal defamation against him in Mr Farotimi's book.
The law firm has also petitioned the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) seeking Mr Farotimi's disbarment over his claims in the book against it, its lawyers, and the Nigerian judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court.
For his part, Mr Faro referenced excerpts from the book alleging that he, along with Mr Babalola and his law firm, Afe Babalola & Co., as well as its lawyers, compromised the Supreme Court and the remaining semblance of integrity it.
He said Mr Farotimi's statements are false and incorrect written deliberately to destroy his reputation.
He maintained that the statements were meant to lower his law firm's self-esteem in the eyes of members of the society and also to expose it to hatred, contempt or ridicule in the eyes of right thinking members of the society.
He seeks N500 million in damages against Mr Farotimi for unlawful defamation of his character in the book, and N100 million in damages for distributing the book.
He also sought a perpetual injunction restraining Mr Farotimi, his marketers, agents from further distribution
The suit is the latest in the series of legal actions, including criminal and civil cases Mr Farotimi has faced over the content of the book since last week.
The book, Farotimi's legal challenges
Mr Babalola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and founder of Afe Babalola University Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), had petitioned the police in Ekiti State accusing Mr Farotimi of defaming him in his book.
Mr Babalola had cited 31 excerpts from the book, including one that accused him of corrupting the Supreme Court in the service of his clients.
Acting on Mr Babalola's petition, the police have charged Mr Farotimi with criminal defamation at a chief magistrate's court and with cybercrime at the Federal High Court, both in Ado-Ekiti.
The Federal High Court judge, Babs Kuewumi, granted bail to Mr Farotimi in the sum of N50 million and adjourned the trial till 29 January 2025.
But the chief magistrate's court fixed 20 December to rule on Mr Farotimi's bail application.
In addition to the criminal cases, a lawyer from Mr Babalola's firm, Kehinde Ogunwumiju, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, has also sued Mr Farotimi for N500 million in a civil libel case at the FCT High Court in Abuja.
Mr Ogunwumiju said Mr Farotimi libelously accused the law firm of "compromising the integrity of the Supreme Court," scheming with "crooked lawyers and incompetent justices," and "doctoring" a Supreme Court judgement.
He denied all the allegations.
On Wednesday, the court ordered the seizure of physical copies of the book wherever it might be found.
Excerpts from the book complained about by Faro
The following are excerpts from the book Mr Faro alleged to be defamatory in his suit.
*That Aare Afe Babalola, Olu Daramola, Olu Faro and the law offices of Afe Babalola & Co, (Emmanuel Chambers) compromised the Supreme Court and the remaining semblance of integrity it might have had when they went back to the Supreme Court and got the Court to swim in the sewer of corruption and Shameful self-abnegation". See page X
* "But even as Atilade J. played the contrition game, she was already part of the game plan being staged together by the grandmaster of judicial corruption in Nigeria, Afe Babalola, I have come to the conclusion that the required form of the application and her ruling were all part of the insidious plans of Afe Babalola, his band of crooked lawyers and coterie of crooked/incompetent justices of the Supreme Court". See page 59.
"The battle to quash the warrant opened my eyes to the extent of the rot in the court system and I came to the knowledge of the sickening realities of the systemic putrefaction. The Supreme Court's Judgement was doctored by the confederation of lawyers in Afe Babalola's chambers and the law offices of S.B Joseph & Co and the end desired by the confederacy was sought with the active connivance of the head judge of the Lagos Division, Atilade J.". See page 60.
* "We quickly realized that the law office of Afe Babalola & Co, Emmanuel Chambers had outsourced the judgement execution to another law office, the firm of S.B Joseph & Co the firm had fraudulently and deliberately concealed the judgement of AKA'AHS and had underlined the words of Justice Rhodes Vivour to deceive and perhaps mislead Atilade or as is more likely, Atilade was always a part of the original fraud". See page 56.
* "There is nothing of the bastard in the men and women peopling our criminal justice system but it is the system itself that is criminal and it is the practitioners, from the registrars to we the lawyers and the judges that are generally criminal...... completely hopeless and unfit for purpose". page XVII

Every woman dreads the idea of going through menopause, while men hate being at the receiving end during this phase. Your heart beats faster than you can count sheep, sleep evades you, and your body disowns you. Yet, women pull through by hook or by crook. A well established fact remains - a healthy diet combined with a great exercise plan can make menopause more bearable. We collate for you ways to cheat menopause and live a happier and healthier life. Here are foods that you should avoid during menopause. *Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images
How much alcohol to consume?
Menopause can be stressful and you desperately need alcohol to calm the nerves, but is it a good idea? Alcohol only intensifies the mood swings and causes fatigue. It is advised to stick to one glass or unit of alcohol a day to avoid those irrational fights with your loved ones.
Go easy on fatty meat…
For the simple reason that woman tend to put on weight during this fragile and unnerving time. The only option is to fine tune your diet by excluding unhealthy fats and balancing this diet choice with exercise. Cut out fats from all possible sources, espeically the saturated fats and trans fats. Choose lean meat, change your milk from whole to skimmed, and watch out for cheese, butter, and fried foods. Grilling your food or using healthy oils to cook your food is one of the best habits to maintain your figure.
Salty threats and sugary frights
Sugar and salt is present in every meal possible, unless you prepare your food from scratch. Take control of your meal, moderate your salt and sugar intake and maintain a healthy diet. Sodium is a perpetrator for high blood pressure while salts from processed food cause cancer. Sugar on the other hand ‘goes straight to your thighs’. But sugar also makes you lazy and tired, apart from depleting your body of nutrients gained from healthy foods. Practise clever control over sugar intake.
How do carbs affect you?
Menopause is another reason to cut bad carbs; therefore, avoid pasta, white bread, rice and potatoes to avoid fatigue and mood swings. The trick is in knowing which carbs are good and which are bad. Any refined, processed carb source with a high GI will spike your blood sugar levels and then cause crashes immediately after. Simply put, this will cause fatigue, weight gain, and lifestyle diseases like diabetes. Be weary of processed and unhealthy carbs.
On the other hand, good carbs like whole and coarse grains, fruits and vegetables will go a long way in promoting good health and weight control. Therefore, draw a list of good and bad carbs and stick to it.
Can you still consume caffeine?
Women mostly complain of hot flashes and insomnia during menopause. Caffeine is known to keep you up and about; hence it is best to avoid your favourite drink before hitting the sack. Coffee is also accompanied with either sugar or cream, both equally bad for your body.
Mistress of Spices
We, being Indians, love a fiery bowl of curry. But menopause and spices is a bad combination. Spices will make you all the more uncomfortable and intensify your hot flashes. However, this is not a hard and fast rule, and nor is it exact.
For starters, do not confuse hot or chili-heavy food with spicy food. Food cooked with red chilies, green chilies, or their powders is 'hot.' Food cooked with excessive spices like garam masala, turmeric, sambhar masala, etc is 'spicy.' Therefore, how well you can handle 'hot' food depends on your capacity to eat chilies. But, 'spicy' or food heavy in processed spices masalas is usually unsettling for one and all.
Therefore, reduce the spices and oil in your favourite Indian curries to better enjoy meals when going through menopause.

A cross-section of the respondents blamed the phenomenon on the lack of effective monitoring of schools by government regulatory agencies at all levels.
In Abia, the people blamed the commercialisation of education by private schools on ineffective regulatory policy framework and weak monitoring mechanisms by agencies of the government.
They spoke in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), saying that the onus was on the government to check the unhealthy phenomenon.
They called on the state government to evolve an effective monitoring mechanism to ensure that private schools deliver quality service to their pupils and students.
Osondu Kalu, a father of two, said that effective monitoring of private schools by the relevant authorities would help keep them in check and ensure quality education.
Mr Kalu said that issues of unqualified teachers, substandard curricula, and uneven education quality had become a disturbing trend in private schools..
He said that most parents developed a preference for private schools because of the failure of the government to upgrade the educational facilities in public schools.
Mr Kalu said that the school fees in highly rated private schools are high and beyond the reach of an average Nigerian parent.
According to him, this unfortunate trend among private schools with exorbitant fees ought to be addressed by the government.
Mr Kalu, therefore, called for effective monitoring of the private schools by the relevant authorities to ensure that the standard for quality education was maintained.
A civil servant, Dorine Ahamefule, said that some private schools were set up with the primary objective of making money rather than imparting knowledge to young minds.
Mrs Ahamefule said that the unusual focus on money instead of imparting knowledge had become a serious challenge, especially given their inability to hire qualified teachers or pay well.
She said that parents should feel the effect of the high fees they pay on their children's academic performance.
Mrs Ahamefule also said that paying teachers well translates to building a highly motivated teachers staff and better productivity.
"However, this comes with a downside, where the fees do not always correlate with the quality of education delivered, especially when schools employ unqualified teachers.
"This practice can lead to substandard education, undermining the value parents expect from their investment.
"The employment of unqualified teachers is often a cost-saving measure, which can compromise the educational quality and outcomes.
"This scenario raises concerns about the commercialisation of education, where profit sometimes outweighs educational quality," she said.
A disability advocate, Ikenna Ebiri, urged parents and guardians not to equate high fees with high quality, saying that some affordable schools might offer quality education.
Mr Ebiri said that in spite of the high fees, not all private schools invest adequately in infrastructure or human resources, leading to disparity in the quality of education.
He said that with the proliferation of private schools, maintaining a competitive edge while ensuring affordability and quality is challenging.
Mr Ebiri, therefore, called for an enhanced regulatory framework to ensure all schools meet a minimum standard in teacher qualifications, facilities, and curriculum.
He called on the government to make education less elitist through scholarships, waivers to private schools and remodelling of the school system.
Some parents and education experts also urged the federal and state governments to support private schools in order to lessen the financial burden they transfer to parents.
They further called on the government to introduce free education in public schools.
They urged the government to make public schools more attractive in order to discourage parents and guardians from patronising substandard and expensive private schools.
The Chairman of the Parent-Teacher Association, Holy Rosary Secondary School, Umuahia, Edward Okoro, said the high operational costs contribute to exorbitant fees charged by private schools.
Mr Okoro said that most private schools with a population between 50 and 100 students might not be able to cover their expenses in running the school, including payment of teachers' salaries.
"Government has a lot to do and one of them is to make education free in primary and secondary schools.
"If the public schools are renovated and equipped with qualified teachers, many parents will begin to patronise them, instead of taking their children and wards to private schools.
"And when that is done, the exorbitant fees by private schools will no longer be there, which might cause some of them to close down," he said.
Also, Rose Uzoka, the dean, College of Education, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, urged the government to subsidise private schools to check high charges.
Ms Uzoka, a professor, said that most of the private schools "pay tangible amount" of taxes to the government and needed to recover the money through school fees and other charges.
She said: "I doubt if there is any private secondary school in the South-east that charges as much as N3 million or N4 million as school fees.
"The government is not doing enough to help these private schools, but that should not be an excuse to exploit parents in the name of school fees.
"There are different ways that the government can support the private schools to lessen the burden of exorbitant school fees".
A parent, Kalu Ukpai, lamented that some of the private schools charge exorbitant fees but employ unqualified teachers, whom they pay poor salaries.
Mr Ukpai said that the high cost of education has become a serious concern, especially now that things are generally tough in the country.
"Many families are finding it extremely difficult to make ends meet.
"How, then, can they cope with the high school fees, especially for those with many children?
"But, I am happy for what Governor Alex Otti is doing in the education sector now in Abia, especially with the remodelling of public schools and his plans to introduce free basic education next year.
"The governor's move will bring back the lost glory in public schools and pull people out from the private schools," he said.
In Imo, some private secondary school teachers lamented that they were being underpaid, saying that their salaries and other emoluments were not commensurate with their output and school fees paid by the students.
Oluchukwu Ferdinand, who holds a Higher National Diploma in Education and teaches in a private secondary school, said that her employer always referred to the HND/BSc dichotomy as his reason for underpaying his teaching staff.
Ms Ferdinand said that the attitude explained why the proprietor employed only HND and Ordinary National Diploma holders, adding that this was affecting the teachers' approach to their duties.
Another teacher, Uchechi Okoro, said that the lack of government measures to checkmate the activities of private schools was also a factor.
Ms Okoro said: "I'm one of the 15 teachers in the secondary school where I teach, seven are regular staff members, while eight are youth corps members, who get a paltry allowance to augment what they receive from the federal government.
"But because nobody checks these things, they just keep happening and there is little or nothing the teachers can do about it," she said.
She argued that changing corps members annually was affecting the students performance negatively and called on the government not to allow inexperienced corps members to take over the core duties of teachers as assigned in the curriculum.
A head teacher, George Ojiaku, blamed the low remuneration of teachers in private schools on the government's failure to provide adequate remuneration for teachers in public schools.
Mr Ojiaku said that since the government sets the standard for the private sector, "it would be difficult to expect perfection" from the latter.
The Proprietress of Sound Foundation Academy, Emekuku, Owerri, Chinwendu Osuji, said that the location of a school determines the fees charged which, in turn, determines the remuneration of teachers.
Mrs Osuji called on the government to establish modalities for equitable school fees charged by private schools.

Nicola Coughlan Reveals Her Mother’s Reaction To Intimate Scenes In Bridgerton; READ
Nicola Coughlan talks about how her mother reacted after watching her intimate scenes in Bridgerton. Read ahead to know more about her reaction.
The thing about Bridgerton is that no one can deny the way it makes our hearts beat faster when they present their intimate scenes in the storyline because they are very creatively shot and written. But it appears that some people—parents of the show’s actors—to be specific, Nicola Coughlan’s mother, were not too happy with those scenes.
Coughlan talked about it when she appeared on The Graham Norton Show (December 13, Friday episode). The actress mentioned realizing that she was 35 when she filmed the season and that she had never played an “adult.” She questioned herself, “How do I do this?”
She added that in the first two seasons of Bridgerton, she appeared a lot like, “SpongeBob SquarePants, very curly, ginger (hair), yellow dress, sort of a tent situation going on.” Coughlan said that then it was “weird” having to portray the romantic lead and that knowing that was all because it's a “sexy” series.
The actress shared that many things that were sexy occurred in that, and she came to the realization that she was going to have to perform the intimate things, and she was like, “Right.”
She further talked about the not-so-good reaction from her mother after she watched those scenes of the actress. Coughlan stated that her mom was very “mad “at her about those scenes as if they were her “fault,” so she did not end up going to the screening with her.
It is very apparent that if not the actress’s mother, the other global audience truly liked what they saw on their screens. May that be the romantic chemistry between Rene Jean Paige and Phoebe Dynevor, Jonathan Baily and Simone Ashley, or Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton.
The people on the internet can't help but swoon over the show’s thirsty and romantic moments' edits on their feeds.

SERAP is also asking the court "to compel President Tinubu to direct Mr Fagbemi to work with appropriate anticorruption agencies to prosecute..."
Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has filed a lawsuit against President Bola Tinubu over "the failure to direct the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Mr Lateef Fagbemi, SAN to work with appropriate anti-corruption agencies to probe allegations that over N57 billion of public funds are missing, diverted or stolen from the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation in 2021 alone."
The damning allegations are documented in the 2021 audited report released last month by the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation.
Joined in the suit as Respondent is Mr Fagbemi.
In the suit number FHC/L/MISC/876/2024 filed last Friday at the Federal High Court, Lagos, SERAP is asking the court "to compel President Tinubu to direct Mr Fagbemi to work with appropriate anti-corruption agencies to promptly probe allegations that over N57 billion of public funds are missing, diverted or stolen from the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation in 2021."
SERAP is also asking the court "to compel President Tinubu to direct Mr Fagbemi to work with appropriate anticorruption agencies to prosecute anyone suspected to be responsible for the missing N57 billion, if there is sufficient admissible evidence, and to recover any missing public funds."
In the suit, SERAP is arguing that: "Investigating the allegations and prosecuting those suspected to be responsible for the missing N57 billion and recovering the missing funds would end the impunity of perpetrators."
SERAP is also arguing that, "The allegations amount to stealing from the poor. There is a legitimate public interest in ensuring justice and accountability for these grave allegations."
According to SERAP, "Poor Nigerians have continued to pay the price for the widespread and grand corruption in the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviations and other ministries, departments and agencies [MDAs]."
SERAP is also arguing that, "The consequences of corruption are felt by citizens on a daily basis. Corruption exposes them to additional costs to pay for health, education and administrative services."
SERAP said, "The allegations also suggest a grave violation of the public trust, the Nigerian Constitution 1999 (as amended), the country's anticorruption legislation and international anticorruption obligations."
The suit filed on behalf of SERAP by its lawyers, Kolawole Oluwadare and Oluwakemi Agunbiade, read in part: "Granting the reliefs sought would go a long way in addressing corruption in ministries, departments and agencies [MDAs] and the country's budget deficit and debt problems."
"The damning revelations are documented in the 2021 audited report released recently by the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation. Hundreds of billions of naira are also reportedly missing in other MDAs."
"According to the 2021 annual audited report by the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation, the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, [the Ministry] in 2021 failed to account for over N54 billion [N54,630,000,000.00] meant to pay monthly stipends to Batch C1 N-Power volunteers and non-graduate trainees between August and December 2021."
"The money was 'not directly paid to the beneficiaries."'
"The Auditor-General is concerned that the money 'may have been diverted.' He wants the money recovered and remitted to the treasury. He also wants suspected perpetrators of the diversion to be sanctioned in line with the Financial Regulations."
"The Ministry also reportedly failed to account for over N2.6 billion [N2,617,090,786.00] of public funds meant for the 'home grown school feeding programme during Covid-19', as 'the programme was never executed."'
"The money was allegedly paid to five contractors to 'procure, package and distribute Covid-19 palliatives to Kano, Zamfara and Abia states,"' but without any trace.
"The Auditor-General fears the money 'may have been diverted.' He wants the money recovered and remitted to the treasury."
"The Ministry also reportedly spent over N78 million [N78,373,909.74] to 'carry out a survey on the Ministry's Covid-19 response to states and vulnerable groups' but without any approval or document."
"The Auditor-General fears the money may be missing or have ended up in the pockets of 'incompetent contractors'. He wants the money recovered and remitted to the treasury."
"The Ministry also reportedly failed to account for N39.5 million [M39,500,000.00] 'personal donations to different personalities'. The money 'was paid directly to the minister as reimbursement'."
"The Auditor-General fears the 'money may have been diverted', resulting in 'the loss of public funds.' He wants the money recovered and remitted to the treasury."
"The Ministry also reportedly failed to account for N400 million [N400,000,000.00] meant to pay 'stipends to 4450 independent monitors for October, November and December 2021."'
"The Auditor-General fears the money 'may have been diverted'. He wants the money recovered and remitted to the treasury."
"The Ministry also reportedly paid over N287 million [287,628,300.00] contractors 'without any document and justification.' The Auditor-General fears the money 'may have been diverted' and wants the money recovered and remitted to the treasury."
"These allegations by the Auditor-General are different from the allegedly missing or unaccounted for N729 billion, which is the subject-matter of the judgment by Justice Deinde Dipeolu."
"Investigating these allegations and prosecuting suspected perpetrators would advance the right of Nigerians to restitution, compensation and guarantee of non-repetition."
"The allegations illustrate cases of widespread and systemic corruption in MDAs, documented by the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation, including in the 2021 audited report and previous reports."
"Section 13 of the Nigerian Constitution imposes clear responsibility on the government to conform to, observe and apply the provisions of Chapter 2 of the constitution."
"Section 15(5) imposes the responsibility on the government to abolish all corrupt practices and abuse of power."
"Under Section 16(1) of the Constitution, the government has a responsibility to 'secure the maximum welfare, freedom and happiness of every citizen on the basis of social justice and equality of status and opportunity.'
"Section 16(2) further provides that, 'the material resources of the nation are harnessed and distributed as best as possible to serve the common good."'
"The UN Convention against Corruption and the African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption to which Nigeria is a state party obligate the government to effectively prevent and investigate the plundering of the country's wealth and hold public officials to account for any violations."
"Specifically, article 26 of the UN convention requires the government to ensure 'effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions' including criminal and non-criminal sanctions, in cases of grand corruption."
"Article 26 complements the more general requirement of article 30, paragraph 1, that sanctions must take into account the gravity of the corruption allegations."
No date has been fixed for the hearing of the suit.

Travis Kelce Made Taylor Swift’s 35th Birthday Extra Special With Multiple Gifts And Private Celebration: Source
According to a source, Travis Kelce went all out to make Taylor Swift's 35th birthday memorable with thoughtful gifts and a private celebration, balancing his professional commitment to spend quality time with her.
Travis Kelce reportedly pulled out all the stops for Taylor Swift’s 35th birthday on Friday, December 13. The efforts from the NFL star to make his popstar girlfriend’s special day extra special ranged from making time for her amid his work commitments to showering her with numerous gifts and more, per an insider.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the Shake It Off singer celebrated her birthday privately, in each other’s company, a source exclusively told Page Six. “He gave her a ton of gifts,” the tipster added.
There were doubts among the pair’s admirers about whether the athlete would miss Swift’s birthday after being spotted on Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt’s Instagram Story at a Christmas party for the NFL team. However, the aforementioned outlet’s source confirmed that while his professional commitments were important, the Super Bowl winner made sure to “leave early to go be with Taylor for her birthday.”
Swift had a lot to celebrate after wrapping her record-breaking, nearly two-year-long Eras Tour on Sunday, December 8, in Vancouver. The songstress, per The New York Times, raked in $2 billion in ticket sales, double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history, performing 149 shows across America, Europe, and Asia.
While Kelce could not attend her final show, a different Page Six source noted that he always wanted to make Swift’s milestone birthday “extra special.”
“Travis has only let a few of those closest to him know what he has in store for Taylor because he doesn’t want to ruin any surprises,” the second source told the publication last week. The insider added that Kelce had been shopping for Christmas and birthday gifts for Swift for quite a while, based on the things she’s expressed even the slightest desire for during their casual conversations.
“He is not the type to leave these things to the last minute, so he’s been picking up items here and there for the past several months whenever he has a chance,” the tipster shared.
Last year, Swift and Kelce spent her birthday apart due to his football commitments. The Fortnight singer instead rang in her birthday with some of her A-list pals, including Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid, Zoe Kravitz, and more.
On December 14 last year, Swift posted a carousel of photos from the fun night, thanking fans for their beautiful birthday wishes.
