Yearender: 2023 ushers in historic advancements in China-Ethiopia ties
ADDIS ABABA, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- As a vivid manifestation of the ever-deepening China-Ethiopia ties, 2023 marks historic advancements in the partnership between the two countries, which elevated their ties to an all-weather strategic partnership.
The two countries, over the course of 2023, achieved fruitful results in their cooperation, raning from cooperation in diplomatic and high-level exchanges, capacity development and knowledge transfer to flourishing socioeconomic and people-to-people ties.
ADVANCEMENTS OF STRATEGIC TIES
In October of this year, China and Ethiopia announced the elevation of their ties to an all-weather strategic partnership during Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's visit to Beijing.
Amid the deepening Sino-Ethiopia ties, experts highlighted the multifaceted and win-win socioeconomic outcomes resulting from the comprehensive ties between the two countries.
Melaku Mulualem, a senior researcher in international relations and diplomacy at Ethiopia's Institute of Strategic Affairs, said the year 2023 "will be remembered as a historic chapter" in Sino-Ethiopia relations.
"The concluding year marks numerous milestones in the ties between the two countries - be it in the diplomatic arena, socioeconomic sectors, or in terms of cultural exchanges and people-to-people relationships," Mulualem said.
The expert further underscored the two countries' commitments to cooperate in realizing the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, as well as the Global Development Initiative.
Constantinos Berhutesfa Constantinos, a professor of public policy at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia, noted China's "practical engagements" in Ethiopia, emphasizing China's efforts toward realizing its commitments.
"The year 2023 has shown us that China stood true to its promises by transforming its commitments into reality in helping Ethiopia's development efforts," Constantinos told Xinhua.
BRICS MEMBERSHIP TO FURTHER DEEPEN TIES
In addition to diplomatic triumphs, the year 2023 also witnessed further deepening of Sino-Ethiopia ties in the multilateral arena, as evidenced by Ethiopia's membership in the BRICS mechanism.
During the 15th BRICS Summit held in August in Johannesburg, South Africa, BRICS leaders agreed to invite six countries - Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates - to join the group. The membership of these six countries is set to take effect on Jan. 1, 2024.
Experts argued that the East African country's entry into the BRICS mechanism is expected to facilitate economic growth and help forge strong and lasting cooperation within the BRICS family.
Balew Demissie, an associate professor at Addis Ababa University, told Xinhua that working with China and other members of BRICS will advance Ethiopia's economic development by attracting foreign direct investment for industrialization and infrastructure projects.
Mukerrim Miftah, an assistant professor at the Ethiopian Civil Service University, said that Ethiopia's admission to BRICS "will help Ethiopia forge strong, lasting economic and political cooperation with the BRICS family," enabling the country to pursue political relations in an institutionalized and mutually beneficial manner.
According to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, the country's membership in the BRICS mechanism is advantageous as the group promotes the South-South cooperation framework.
"Since Ethiopia is an important country within the South-South cooperation framework, we believe that our membership in BRICS would be an important impetus for both Ethiopia and other BRICS members," Ahmed told members of the Ethiopian parliament recently.
CHINESE ENGAGEMENT PROMOTES CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT
China's multifaceted capacity development and knowledge transfer assistance to Ethiopia are among the many positive outcomes of Sino-Ethiopia cooperation in 2023. These efforts are anchored by different initiatives such as the Luban Workshop, the Confucius Institute, and collaboration in technical and vocational education and training (TVET), among others.
Earlier this month, the Confucius Institute at Addis Ababa University (AAU) received acclaim for its 10 years of operation, fortifying the deepening ties between China and Ethiopia. During the past decade, the institute has seen over 10,000 students enroll in Chinese language studies across the East African country.
"Over the past 10 years, the Confucius Institute at AAU has made positive contributions to promote the friendship between Ethiopia and China through language education and cultural exchange," said Ethiopia's State Minister of Education Kora Tushune.
During the past years, China and Ethiopia have achieved fruitful outcomes in Belt and Road cooperation, including the construction of the Addis Ababa-Djibouti Standard Gauge Railway and the launch of Ethiopia's first-ever satellite, abbreviated as ETRSS-1, into space from China.
"The capacity development and knowledge transfer initiatives, particularly in remote sensing applications and satellite in-orbit operations, have equipped us with the necessary skills to confidently carry out satellite operations," said Dawit Kassaw, a unit leader for the ground application satellite system at the Ethiopian Space Science and Geospatial Institute.
"The training and skills transfer efforts have provided us with the foundational knowledge and skills," Kassaw added.
Haftom Gebregziabher, deputy director-general of the Ethiopian Technical University, said that cooperation with China is empowering Ethiopia with a skilled workforce required to fill the gap in the modern industrial landscape.
He said the successful transfer of knowledge and skills from China in the fields of science and technology is helping Ethiopia realize its development aspirations. Gebregziabher highlighted the Luban Workshop, a Chinese vocational training program, as a manifestation of the ever-expanding Ethiopia-China cooperation in the field of science and technology.
Abraham Asrat, chief executive officer of strategic affairs at the Ministry of Labor and Skills, said the year 2023 witnessed growing exchanges and experience-sharing endeavors among Chinese TVET institutions and Ethiopian counterparts, eventually uplifting cooperation on human capacity development.

Lamar Jackson: I'm very confident, doing whatever I want when I see things on the field
Lamar Jackson became the MVP frontrunner against the 49ers in Week 16 and he probably sealed the deal on his second award in Week 17.
Jackson had more touchdowns than incompletions while going 18-of-21 for 321 yards and five touchdowns in a 56-19 demolition of the Dolphins that guaranteed the Ravens will be the top seed in the AFC playoffs next month. Jackson notched the highest possible passer rating of 158.3 for the third time in his career and said after the game that he feels in complete control of the offense in his first season working with coordinator Todd Monken.
"I'm very confident," Jackson said, via the team's website. "Having the freedom to do whatever I want to when I see things out on the field. That's the kind of game I like. We were dialing it up, being aggressive."
The Ravens will be the favorites in the AFC this postseason, but Jackson said they can't expect "teams are just going to bow down and play how we want them to play." Jackson said the Ravens "have to go take it" and that task will be much easier if Jackson keeps playing at this level. | https://sports.yahoo.com/lamar-jackson-im-very-confident-023844545.html | 2024-01-01T03:04:08Z |

FREEPORT, N.Y. — Authorities in New York are looking for the person responsible for stabbing a dog 17 times.
The dog, a 2-year-old Terrier mix who has since been named Cornell, was injured by a sharp object on Nov. 27, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly told WNBC-TV. He survived the attack but had a long road to recovery.
A woman claimed to have found the dog bleeding on a street in the Long Island village of Freeport, according to the television station. The dog did not have a collar or an identification chip, Donnelly said. There was no evidence that Cornell was part of a dogfighting ring, WNBC reported.
The woman who found the dog is not a suspect, Donnelly said.
“Cornell can’t tell us his story. He can’t tell us what happened. He can’t tell us why or when something like this happened to him,” Donnelly told WABC-TV. “We just know he was found bleeding from the 17 wounds.”
Dog found stabbed 17 times in Nassau County, $5K reward offered for information https://t.co/1rJiYJmwbx pic.twitter.com/HfMGPIGtas
— Eyewitness News (@ABC7NY) December 29, 2023
“I’ve seen some pretty horrific things but the extent of the amount of times he was stabbed is unimaginable how someone could ever do that,” Ashley Behrens, acting director of the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, told WPIX-TV.
The dog is now walking, jogging and thriving, barely a month after he was attacked, according to the television station.
Two-year-old terrier mix Cornell is walking, jogging, and thriving just one month after being found with 17 stab wounds across his body, according to county officials.
“Some of the stab wounds caused his lungs to leak air between his body cavity and his lungs, and they had to be drained a number of times,” Donnelly said, according to WABC. “The other stab wounds were cleaned, were either stapled or sewn.”
Donnelly said there were currently no suspects, but she said her office is seeking the public’s help to find out what happened to Cornell.
“I believe this was somebody’s pet. He’s too healthy and in too good shape to have been a street dog,” Donnelly said, according to WNBC. “We need the public’s health to help us find who did this to Cornell.”
Gary Rogers of the Nassau County SPCA echoed Donnelly’s comments.
“People start out on animals before they move into human beings,” Rogers told WPIX. “Somebody in the community knows what happened. You got to keep your community safe. You need to call the DA’s office and tell them who did this because next time you’re going to look at this it could be somebody else.”
Nassau County SPCA is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction, WABC reported. | https://www.wmmo.com/news/trending/dog-survives-after-being-stabbed-17-times/7UTCMVE4B5H7XPWUMMAC6N3X3U/ | 2024-01-01T03:04:09Z |

When the 56-19 loss settled, the Miami Dolphins needed more than one glance into their proverbial mirrors.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wished he had shifted his glance a little more quickly to see the defender in his receiver’s path on his first interception, and he wished he hadn’t tried to force a ball to Tyreek Hill over the linebacker who snatched the second.
Hill wished he hadn’t bobbled and then dropped a wide-open touchdown pass from Tagovailoa, one of six targets on which the duo failed to connect in the blowout loss.
Dolphins defenders wish they had tackled better in space, limiting or at least complicating the Baltimore Ravens’ display of run-in touchdowns.
And head coach Mike McDaniel wished he had pulled edge rusher Bradley Chubb earlier from an out-of-reach contest. Instead, with the Dolphins trailing by 30 points and less than 4 minutes to play in regulation, Chubb suffered a non-contact knee injury that required carting off.
“I would like a time machine, for sure, in that situation,” McDaniel said. “In hindsight, I would absolutely not have wanted him out there if I would have known he was going to get hurt.
“There’s times in football games where it’s not about winning or losing or ‘Can we come back?’ It's about finishing the football game and having a taste of what our expectations were going into it.”
The Dolphins’ expectations entering their visit to Baltimore and their reality traveling home at 11-5 veered far apart. Their playoff expectations now risk the same trajectory.
“Situations like this where you go into a game with full belief in each other and the eventual outcome … ends up monumentally in another direction, it’s a gut check for a football team,” McDaniel said. “We need to recalibrate, get back together and press forward together.
“Run from nothing. Own it.”
How the Dolphins unraveled vs. stifling Ravens
The Dolphins started off the game strong.
Tagovailoa connected with Hill, running back De’Von Achane and fullback Alec Ingold each for double-digit gains on the first drive alone. Facing third-and-goal from Baltimore’s 8, Tagovailoa pump-faked his first throw before nailing receiver Cedrick Wilson on a high-low concept that forced the Ravens’ defense to wonder whether Hill or Wilson was its intended receiver.
The Dolphins had found the end zone first. But Baltimore answered.
Despite Rashod Bateman failing to survive the ground on a 42-yard pass that was reversed and offensive pass interference nullifying a 26-yard completion to Justice Hill, Jackson distributed the ball a la Tagovailoa with chunk plays to three different targets on the way to the red zone. With 6:39 to play in the first, Jackson dropped back and let a ball rip amid pressure, finding Hill between two defenders on the right sideline for a 20-yard touchdown.
The Dolphins stayed alive with a Tyreek Hill 25-yard catch on fourth-and-5 their next drive but ultimately settled for a field goal.
Against the fourth-ranked scoring offense in the league, that’s not a winning formula.
Nor is turning the ball over.
Miami stayed competitive early, forcing a punt and scoring a pair of field goals. But after a seeming busted coverage allowed a 75-yard touchdown – cornerback Xavien Howard, injured on the first Ravens snap of the day, was missed – the game began veering off course for Miami.
Tagovailoa hurried to fit a play in before halftime and instead threw the first interception.
Miami’s special teams allowed a 78-yard punt return to start the second half, one of several factors in McDaniel’s postgame remark: “I’m confident saying before watching the film: We’re not going to be happy with the way we tackled in open space.”
And even when the Dolphins defense punched a ball loose from Ravens RB Gus Edwards, the optimism was short-lived.
Tagovailoa’s second interception was the next play.
The Dolphins could expect nothing different from the NFL's most takeaway-happy group.
“With circumstances within the game, there was a play or two where maybe we were forcing something,” McDaniel said. “Defensively, they’ve been very opportunistic. We knew that, and ultimately, we played right into their hands.”
A day Tyreek Hill described as “one of the worst games of my career” became the Dolphins’ worst loss of the season, and a day on which Miami was shorthanded due to injuries merited less sympathy when considering the Ravens’ bill of health.
Baltimore was missing its starting right guard, star tight end, two running backs and a cornerback.
Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith, who intercepted and returned a pass 30 yards in addition to seven tackles and another deflection, said Baltimore couldn’t dwell on that or their short week after a Monday night game across the country.
“It’s just adversity,” Smith said. “Look adversity in the face, and like I always tell the guys – chin up, chest out. We don't bow down for anything. Do all you can do. People make excuses with adversity and we just produce.
“Life is not about excuses. It's about what you do and play the cards that you’re dealt.”
The Dolphins best heed that advice.
After Ravens crush Miami, are Dolphins’ playoff hopes at stake?
Tagovailoa, despite taking a hit to his throwing shoulder on a fourth-quarter scramble, was healthy enough to address reporters after the game and seems on schedule to complete his fully available season.
Based on the cart, non-contact nature of injury and shellshock in Dolphins players’ voices, Chubb seems unlikely to play next week or in the postseason.
So sure, in a regular-season finale with the AFC East title on the line, Miami won’t be at full saddle. Neither will Buffalo nor any team the Dolphins face in the postseason.
What the franchise needs to do is better adjust to its personnel shifts and better scheme for its available players. Miami did that well in the run game Sunday, when Achane took the lead role in place of the injured Raheem Mostert, Achane contributing a game-high 137 yards and one touchdown.
But Miami’s passing attack was far too inconsistent, as Tagovailoa completed 57.9% of his passes compared to his league-leading 70.5% mark across the season. (For context, 51 quarterbacks who have attempted at least 50 passes have attempted more than 57.9%.)
Baltimore gashed the Dolphins defense for 491 total yards, a season-worst allowance along with the 56-point output.
Sure, as fairly said after the Ravens dismantled the 49ers, most teams cannot attack and maintain pressure at the rate which Baltimore can.
But the Dolphins have dabbled in Super Bowl-contender conversations, and it’s unlikely they’ll be able to reach that goal without besting Baltimore. It’s unlikely they’ll be able to win any remaining regular or postseason game with the suppressed performance all three phases produced Sunday.
“Everything’s still in front of us,” Tagovailoa said, but achieving it will require much more than Miami showed with the chance to clinch the division on the line.
Tagovailoa preached the importance of consistency after the Dolphins played well enough through one quarter to win but not through four.
Then, he tapped into the glass-half-full perspective as he moved forward.
“If you have the perspective of things could be worse – we could not have clinched the playoff berth, we could not have been playing in a game like this that mattered for positioning with the seeding,” Tagovailoa said. “So if you think of it like that, we’re right where we need to be as a team, regardless of the outcome today.
“We’ll be better for it and hopefully get to see these guys again.” | https://www.hits973.com/news/national/whats-next-dolphins/XC7WHVG4HWAGZHXQNLPWQ3ULU4/ | 2024-01-01T03:04:11Z |

PGA Tour seeks extension on commercial deal with Saudis, private investors
(AP) - The PGA Tour believes it has made enough progress with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf to extend their negotiations into next year for a new commercial deal that would include a U.S. investment group and the European tour.
Commissioner Jay Monahan sent a memo to players on Sunday afternoon, just seven hours before the deadline to finalize the deal that was set in the June 6 framework agreement.
The PGA Tour board unanimously agreed three weeks ago to negotiate exclusively with Strategic Sports Group, a consortium of American-based professional sports teams owners led by Fenway Sports Group.
Monahan said the tour has made “meaningful progress” with SSG and provided the group with all the information it requested.
“As we move forward in our discussions, we are focused on the finalization of terms and drafts of necessary documents,” Monahan said.
Far more complicated are the negotiations with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the financial supporters of the rival LIV Golf League which lured away Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka in 2022, and most recently Masters champion Jon Rahm earlier this month.
Monahan described conversations with PIF and the European tour as “active and productive.”
The framework agreement was to expire Dec. 31, though it included language that the deadline could be extended if all parties agreed. “We are working to extend our negotiations into next year based on the progress we have made to date,” Monahan said in his memo.
Monahan said the goal for 2024 was to reach agreements with SSG, PIF and the European tour to bring them in as minority co-investors in the for-profit PGA Tour Enterprises.
“These partnerships will allow us to unify, innovate and invest in the game for the benefit of players, fans and sponsors,” Monahan said.
Under the framework agreement, PIF Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan would have a seat on the PGA Tour board. The agreement also included PGA Tour Enterprises doing an “objective, empirical-driven evaluation” of LIV and to determine if team golf can be integrated into the PGA Tour and European tour.
It also was to determine a “fair and objective” process for LIV players who might want to return to the PGA Tour or European tour, which is said to be a sticking point because of the players who turned down Saudi riches to remain on the PGA Tour.
The PGA Tour season begins Thursday at The Sentry on Maui, the first of eight “signature” events with a $20 million purse and limited field. LIV Golf already has announced the bulk of its 2024 schedule and $20 million purses. It starts the first week of February.

Iran, Britain discuss Red Sea tension
TEHRAN, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his British counterpart David Cameron on Sunday exchanged views on the rising tension in the Red Sea as well as the conflict in Gaza.
In a phone conversation, Amir-Abdollahian accused the United States and certain Western countries of applying double standards, according to a statement from the Iranian foreign ministry.
He said it was wrong to let Israel "kill women and children in Gaza" and "set the region on fire," but "view the stoppage of an Israeli ship in the Red Sea as jeopardizing the security of the economic waterway."
The Iranian diplomat also condemned the silence of some Western governments over Israel's attacks on Gaza in the past 80 days.
Amir-Abdollahian also urged Britain to adopt a "realistic and constructive" approach toward regional developments and bilateral ties.
Cameron, meanwhile, expressed his country's views on the developments in Palestine and the Red Sea, and urged Iran to help prevent the escalation of the Israeli-Hamas conflict and ensure maritime security in the region, the Iranian statement said.
In a post on social media platform X, Cameron said he spoke to Amir-Abdollahian about the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, which he said had threatened innocent lives and the global economy.
Cameron said he had made it clear that Iran shared responsibility for preventing these attacks given its long-standing support for the Houthis.
The Yemen-based Houthi group has claimed responsibility for several attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea in recent weeks, saying they were in solidarity with the Palestinian people. The U.S. and British officials have accused Iran of "being behind the attacks," which was strongly rejected by Iran.
Israel has been fighting a large-scale conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, after the group launched a surprise attack on southern Israel that killed about 1,200 people, according to Israeli figures. Israel has killed 21,822 Palestinians in Gaza, the Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Sunday.

NFL Week 17 winners, losers: Ravens soar, 49ers clinch but Eagles stunned
NFL Week 17 winners, losers: Ravens soar, 49ers clinch but Eagles stunned originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Not every NFL team will go into 2024 on a high note.
That was surely the case with the Detroit Lions on Saturday, who lost 20-19 at the Dallas Cowboys after a controversial overturned two-point conversion.
But, on the other hand, some teams are right where they want to be.
The Baltimore Ravens locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC after a 56-19 thumping at home versus the Miami Dolphins. The San Francisco 49ers did the same in the NFC after beating the Washington Commanders on the road 27-10, plus getting help elsewhere.
They can enjoy some rest in Week 18 before the postseason grind commences. But before we look ahead, let's analyze Sunday's Week 17 action with winners and losers:
WINNER: Lamar Jackson's MVP case
It seems every week there's a new favorite for the MVP, but Jackson might be here to stay. The 26-year-old led Baltimore to a 33-19 win at San Francisco last time out, then pioneered the 56-19 rout over Miami in which he completed 18 of 21 passes for 321 yards, five touchdowns and no picks. Regardless of how Week 18 goes at the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jackson may have stamped his resume to receive his second league MVP award. It'd be deserved for the leader of the league's most in-form squad.
LOSER: Eagles stunned at home to Cardinals
The 49ers may have clinched the No. 1 seed, but they can thank the Eagles for making it much easier than initially anticipated. The then 3-12 Arizona Cardinals came into town with head coach Jonathan Gannon returning to the city where he used to be the defensive coordinator. Led by Kyler Murray's three touchdown passes and James Conner's 128 rushing yards and a touchdown, the Cardinals won 35-31 after a goal-line score in the closing seconds.
CARDINALS TAKE THE LEAD WITH 32 SECONDS LEFT.
📺: #AZvsPHI on FOX
📱: Stream on #NFLPlus https://t.co/sFjqko01pD pic.twitter.com/1ZvM5zaX7Y— NFL (@NFL) December 31, 2023
The Eagles have lost four of their last five games since entering their home game versus the 49ers at 10-1. They'll be on the road against the New York Giants to close out the regular season, and they also might've cost themselves the NFC East crown if the Dallas Cowboys win at the Washington Commanders.
WINNER: 49ers earn much-needed bye
While the 49ers offense can get going in an instant, their defense has been quite poor since they beat the Eagles. Missed tackles and injured players piling up have both played significant parts in that, which further emphasizes how much they needed the extra week off. After losing three in a row earlier in the season, San Francisco responded from its following bye with six straight wins. Can they repeat that form and success once again in crunch time?
LOSER: Dolphins in big games
As good as Miami has been throughout the season, its inability to step up in big games has been a stain on its resume. Prior to the Ravens blowout, the Dolphins had lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and Eagles in potential statement wins, with a close two-point win at home to Dallas being the sole standout. But even then, the Cowboys have faced similar questions, so someone had to give. It's important to note Miami did not have Raheem Mostert or Jaylen Waddle versus Baltimore, but the signs have been there for a while. The Dolphins will host the Bills in Week 18 with the winner clinching the AFC East. The NFL world will be watching.
WINNER: Bears claim 2024 No. 1 overall pick
The Bears are officially on the clock. In fact, Chicago earned two victories on Sunday. Justin Fields and Co. shined in a 37-17 home win versus the Atlanta Falcons, and the Carolina Panthers' 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars along with the Cardinals' win versus Philadelphia meant the Bears will own the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. If you remember, Carolina traded for the top pick Chicago owned last season and used it on quarterback Bryce Young. The Panthers sent Chicago a 2024 first-rounder in that deal, which ended up being the top overall pick since they are 2-14.
LOSER: Buccaneers delay NFC South clinch
Tampa Bay had a prime opportunity to beat the New Orleans Saints at home and clinch the NFC South. But Baker Mayfield and Co. came out flat in a disappointing 23-13 loss that saw all 13 points come in the fourth quarter. Mayfield completed 22 of 33 passes for 309 yards, two touchdowns and two picks, but it was Derek Carr who emerged victorious after completing 24 of 32 passes for 197 yards, two touchdowns and no picks.
Both teams are now 8-8 entering a pivotal Week 18. Tampa Bay will be at the 2-14 Panthers while the Saints will host the 7-9 Falcons, who are still alive in the hunt but need a lot to get in. Whoever doesn't win the division could be out of the playoffs completely with the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks currently in better positions.
WINNER: Mike Tomlin keeps Steelers fighting
Who would've thought a quarterback room of Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph could end the season above .500. But that's the case for Mike Tomlin's Steelers, who have went 17 straight seasons without a losing record. Pittsburgh beat the Seattle Seahawks on the road 30-23 to help its case in the AFC playoff race, while dealing its NFC opponents a blow. The Steelers will host the Ravens to end the regular season where they will look to emerge from a crowded conference.
LOSER: Bengals' playoff hopes fall in Kansas City
Cincinnati made an incredible run to stay in the playoff race without Joe Burrow, but its 25-17 loss at Kansas City has all but ended its hopes. Now 8-8, the Bengals are the very last team in the AFC playoff picture and host the already clinched Cleveland Browns in Week 18, though Cleveland will look to hold onto the No. 5 seed. Jake Browning completed 19 of 33 passes for 197 yards, one touchdown and no picks but was stymied throughout by Kansas City's defense. The Chiefs clinched the AFC West for the eighth straight year with Isiah Pacheco's 130 rushing yards on 18 carries standing out. | https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-week-17-winners-losers-020749273.html | 2024-01-01T03:04:14Z |

WYOMING, Mich. — Two people were injured after an argument at a Walmart store in Michigan escalated into gunfire on Sunday, authorities said.
The man and woman who were shot suffered injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, WXMI-TV reported.
The shooting took place at about 6 p.m. in the city of Wyoming, police spokesperson Lt. Andrew Koeller said.

Police said there was an altercation between the two suspects and the male victim, according to WZZM-TV. The shooting took place in the front of the store near the checkout lanes. The male victim was shot; the woman was not a target, the television station reported.
The suspects fled the scene, police said. Both men were wearing masks, WOOD-TV reported.
“This is a brazen public attack. This is not something that we would tolerate, this is not something that should occur,” Koeller told reporters. “And we encourage the public to give any information in help solving this brazen crime and like I mentioned, unfortunately, an innocent bystander was struck. Two people were struck and that’s completely unfortunate.”
It is unclear what led to the altercation between the suspects and the man, WOOD-TV reported. It was also unclear whether the suspects and the male victim knew one another, according to the television station. | https://www.hits973.com/news/trending/2-injured-shooting-walmart-michigan/2APDDUBCZ5DPXFFTF2PICOVLRU/ | 2024-01-01T03:04:18Z |
By Christian Wienberg
Copenhagen: Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, the world’s longest-serving monarch, has said she will hand over her position to her son after 52 years on the throne.
The queen, 83, cited deteriorating health for her decision, in a speech to the nation on Sunday.
The queen has suffered from back and knee pain in recent years.
After undergoing surgery in 2023, she quit a heavy smoking habit, which had lasted 66 years and often was subject of debate. Health professionals had called on the queen to be a better role model.
After the 2022 death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, who was a close friend as well as a distant cousin, Margrethe became the world’s longest-ruling monarch. Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei, has held the title of ruler longer than Margrethe, but his country only became independent in 1984. Margrethe also in 2023 became the longest-sitting ruler in the 1200 years of the Danish monarchy.
The popularity of the queen, known for her sharp wit and artistic abilities, has supported Europe’s oldest monarchy through a half-century during which Denmark underwent sweeping societal changes, and royal houses elsewhere in Europe became mired in scandal.
Her position as monarch in a country with a democratic constitution has never widely been questioned. In a 2022 opinion poll by newspaper Jyllands-Posten, 72 per cent of Danes said they supported the monarchy. In a 2023 survey by TV2, 78 per cent said they expected Denmark would still have a monarchy in 50 years, up from 67 per cent in a 2015 poll.
Not that Margrethe’s reign was crisis-free.
In 2022, she stripped four of her grandchildren of their royal titles in a streamlining move, provoking what she acknowledged were “strong reactions.” And during her ailing husband’s final years, he complained publicly about his role.
Part of the queen’s appeal has come from her multiple talents.
She’s fluent in Danish, German, English, French and Swedish. Her work as an artist has spanned paintings, book illustrations, theatre costume designs and church textiles. Her works have been displayed in more than 50 museums from Tokyo to Washington.
In 1981, working under a pseudonym, she translated into Danish a book by the French philosopher and feminist Simone de Beauvoir, All Men Are Mortal.
Although Margrethe was the first woman to rule Denmark in 560 years, she refused to vocally promote gender equality, to the disappointment of some members of Danish women’s rights groups.
“I prefer not to be involved in any movement,” she said during a trip to the US in 1976, when gender issues were high on the agenda in her homeland. “I have sympathy for it, but my job is to be queen, and that requires all my abilities and strength.”
Margrethe was born on April 16, 1940, the first of three daughters of King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid. Her birth at the royal palace in Copenhagen came a week after Nazi Germany attacked and occupied Denmark.
At the time, she wasn’t in line to become head of state, as the constitution only allowed male succession. That would have meant the monarchy passing to her uncle, Knud.
But popular sentiment was behind the bright, young princess. A constitutional referendum was held in 1953 that paved the way for female succession if the royal couple didn’t have any sons. In 2009, the law of succession was changed again to give the first-born the right to the throne, regardless of gender.
In the period 1960-1965, Crown Princess Margrethe studied at the University of Copenhagen, the University of Cambridge, the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne, completing courses in archaeology and political science.
Margrethe has said that if she hadn’t been a monarch she would have been torn between becoming an archaeologist or an artist.
“I’m fortunate that I never had to face that dilemma because I knew what my task was, but then found out that I could still pursue the arts and also, to some extent, archaeology,” the queen said in the 2011 interview book M, by author Jens Andersen.
In 1967, she married Henri Marie Jean Andre, a French count who had grown up in Vietnam. He took the Danish name Prince Consort Henrik. They had two sons: Crown Prince Frederik in 1968 and Prince Joachim the year after.
She ascended the throne in 1972 after the death of her father and balanced her work as an artist with her royal duties.
Margrethe faced her biggest public crisis in the last years of her marriage as Henrik repeatedly complained about his role and said he should have been given the title of king.
In 2017, he said he didn’t want to be buried with his wife in the Roskilde Cathedral, as had been planned. Later that year, the royal court issued a statement saying the prince suffered from dementia.
When he died in 2018, at age 83, Henrik was cremated, and a portion of his ashes was placed in the garden of a royal castle near Copenhagen. The other part was spread in Danish waters, in accordance with his wishes.
The move to strip the titles from the children of Margrethe’s younger son followed similar downsizing in other royal houses, such as in Sweden. A week after it was announced, Margrethe apologised to her family but stuck by her decision, saying it was “in keeping with the times” and necessary to “future-proof” the institution, according to the royal court.
“I have made my decision as Queen, mother and grandmother, but, as a mother and grandmother, I have underestimated the extent to which much my younger son and his family feel affected,” she said in a written statement at the time. “That makes a big impression, and for that I am sorry.”

Interview: Slovenian tech firm sees vast potential in China partnership
LJUBLJANA, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- Slovenian software and electronics company Cosylab attaches great importance to the Chinese market and believes in its vast potential," Urska Agnic, head of marketing at Cosylab, told Xinhua in a recent interview.
The company signed a memorandum of understanding in April with an industrial park in Ningbo, east China's Zhejiang Province.
"Our Chinese partners were especially enthusiastic about our software for radiation therapy, such as the Treatment Planning System (TPS) and the Automated Affordable Radiation Therapy (AART) system," Agnic said.
She said that partnership offers a possibility to further develop and apply in new therapeutic technique.
"Partners in the quoted innovative cooperation already provide all the necessary goodwill and technical and business knowledge, and the cooperation project enters the most critical financing stage," Agnic said.
Cosylab has more than 300 engineers and scientists. Agnic said the company is the only specialized developer of software products and functionality for advance radiation therapy in Slovenia and its vicinity.
She said that so far, cooperation between Chinese and European researchers has mainly occurred in agriculture, biotechnology, biodiversity, food and climate change.
Currently, new ventures are being explored, especially using Slovenia's know-how in software for radiation therapy of cancer, Agnic said.

Panthers have no comment about David Tepper apparently throwing drink into crowd
On Sunday afternoon, a video emerged that seemed to show Panthers owner David Tepper throwing a drink into the stands in Jacksonville. On Sunday night, a Panthers spokesperson declined comment on the matter.
The fact that the Panthers declined comment can fairly be interpreted as an acknowledgement that the video shows what it seems to show. If Tepper had any basis for denying that he threw a drink into the stands, the team would have issued his denial.
The NFL has acknowledged awareness of the video, but the league had no further comment.
It's hard to image the NFL doing nothing about it. He's an owner. He is the league. If he's not punished, the league can never again claim with a straight face that owners are held to a higher standard than players. | https://sports.yahoo.com/panthers-no-david-tepper-apparently-023314687.html | 2024-01-01T03:04:21Z |

A Colorado woman accused of killing two of her children and injuring a third was arrested in the United Kingdom on Saturday, authorities said.
According to the Colorado Springs Police Department, Kimberlee Singler, 35, of Colorado Springs, was arrested in the United Kingdom “without incident,” The Denver Post reported. No other details about the arrest were immediately available and the exact location where Singler was arrested was unclear, according to KUSA-TV.
Authorities issued an arrest warrant for Singler on murder and attempted murder charges after her 7-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter were found dead in a home on Dec. 19, while her 11-year-old daughter was hospitalized.
According to KUSA, the children’s father, Kevin Wentz, identified the deceased children as Aden Wentz, 7; and Elianna “Ellie” Wentz, 9.
Colorado Springs mom arrested in United Kingdom, suspected of murdering 9-year-old daughter, 7-year-old son https://t.co/7u3ZsL7Tez
— The Denver Post (@denverpost) December 31, 2023
Police had responded to a report of a burglary at the residence, but it turned out to be unfounded, according to The Associated Press.
Singler initially cooperated with authorities but then went missing as the investigation progressed, Colorado Springs Police Department spokesperson Ira Cronin said. She was last seen on Dec. 23, police said.
On Dec. 26, police issued a warrant for Singler’s arrest on four counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of child abuse and one count of first-degree assault, KUSA reported.
The 11-year-old girl was hospitalized for a few days before being released, Cronin said. She is recovering in Colorado Springs, according to the AP.
The children’s deaths came during a legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, the AP reported, citing court filings. Hearings had been scheduled for next month.
“Detectives with the Colorado Springs Police Department’s homicide unit continue to work closely with multiple law enforcement agencies in pursuing the ongoing investigation,” the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a statement. | https://www.hits973.com/news/trending/colorado-mother-accused-killing-2-children-arrested-united-kingdom/UGMHCLKIBFFZZPDFXSLCJAH22E/ | 2024-01-01T03:04:24Z |

Week 17 winners, losers: Ravens soar, 49ers clinch, Eagles stunned
Week 17 winners, losers: Ravens soar, 49ers clinch, Eagles stunned originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Not every NFL team will go into 2024 on a high note.
That surely was the case with the Detroit Lions on Saturday, who lost 20-19 at the Dallas Cowboys after a controversial overturned two-point conversion.
But, on the other hand, some teams are right where they want to be.
The Baltimore Ravens locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC after a 56-19 thumping at home versus the Miami Dolphins. The San Francisco 49ers did the same in the NFC after beating the Washington Commanders on the road 27-10, plus getting help elsewhere.
They can enjoy some rest in Week 18 before the postseason grind commences. But before we look ahead, let's analyze Sunday's Week 17 action with winners and losers:
WINNER: Lamar Jackson's MVP case
It seems every week there's a new favorite for the MVP, but Jackson might be here to stay. The 26-year-old led Baltimore to a 33-19 win at San Francisco last time out, then pioneered the 56-19 rout over Miami in which he completed 18 of 21 passes for 321 yards, five touchdowns and no picks. Regardless of how Week 18 goes at the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jackson might have stamped his résumé to receive his second league MVP award. It'd be deserved for the leader of the league's most in-form squad.
LOSER: Eagles stunned at home to Cardinals
The 49ers might have clinched the No. 1 seed, but they can thank the Eagles for making it much easier than initially anticipated. The then-3-12 Arizona Cardinals came into town with head coach Jonathan Gannon returning to the city where he used to be the defensive coordinator. Led by Kyler Murray's three touchdown passes and James Conner's 128 rushing yards and a touchdown, the Cardinals won 35-31 after a goal-line score in the closing seconds.
CARDINALS TAKE THE LEAD WITH 32 SECONDS LEFT.

📱: Stream on #NFLPlus https://t.co/sFjqko01pD pic.twitter.com/1ZvM5zaX7Y— NFL (@NFL) December 31, 2023
The Eagles have lost four of their last five games since entering their home game versus the 49ers at 10-1. They'll be on the road against the New York Giants to close out the regular season, and they also might've cost themselves the NFC East crown if the Dallas Cowboys win at the Washington Commanders.
WINNER: 49ers earn much-needed bye
While the 49ers' offense can get going in an instant, their defense has been quite poor since they beat the Eagles. Missed tackles and injured players piling up both have played significant parts in that, which further emphasizes how much they needed the extra week off. After losing three in a row earlier in the season, San Francisco responded from its following bye with six straight wins. Can they repeat that form and success once again in crunch time?
LOSER: Dolphins in big games
As good as Miami has been throughout the season, its inability to step up in big games has been a stain on its resume. Prior to the Ravens blowout, the Dolphins had lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and Eagles in potential statement wins, with a close two-point win at home to Dallas being the sole standout. But even then, the Cowboys have faced similar questions, so someone had to give. It's important to note Miami did not have Raheem Mostert or Jaylen Waddle versus Baltimore, but the signs have been there for a while. The Dolphins will host the Bills in Week 18 with the winner clinching the AFC East. The NFL world will be watching.
WINNER: Bears claim 2024 No. 1 overall pick
The Bears are officially on the clock. In fact, Chicago earned two victories on Sunday. Justin Fields and Co. shined in a 37-17 home win versus the Atlanta Falcons, and the Carolina Panthers' 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars along with the Cardinals' win versus Philadelphia meant the Bears will own the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. If you remember, Carolina traded for the top pick Chicago owned last season and used it on quarterback Bryce Young. The Panthers sent Chicago a 2024 first-rounder in that deal, which ended up being the top overall pick since they are 2-14.
LOSER: Buccaneers delay NFC South clinch
Tampa Bay had a prime opportunity to beat the New Orleans Saints at home and clinch the NFC South. But Baker Mayfield and Co. came out flat in a disappointing 23-13 loss that saw all 13 points come in the fourth quarter. Mayfield completed 22 of 33 passes for 309 yards, two touchdowns and two picks, but it was Derek Carr who emerged victorious after completing 24 of 32 passes for 197 yards, two touchdowns and no picks.
Both teams are now 8-8 entering a pivotal Week 18. Tampa Bay will be at the 2-14 Panthers while the Saints will host the 7-9 Falcons, who are still alive in the hunt but need a lot to get in. Whoever doesn't win the division could be out of the playoffs completely with the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks currently in better positions.
WINNER: Mike Tomlin keeps Steelers fighting
Who would've thought a quarterback room of Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph could end the season above .500. But that's the case for Mike Tomlin's Steelers, who have went 17 straight seasons without a losing record. Pittsburgh beat the Seattle Seahawks on the road 30-23 to help its case in the AFC playoff race, while dealing its NFC opponents a blow. The Steelers will host the Ravens to end the regular season where they will look to emerge from a crowded conference.
LOSER: Bengals' playoff hopes fall in Kansas City
Cincinnati made an incredible run to stay in the playoff race without Joe Burrow, but its 25-17 loss at Kansas City has all but ended its hopes. Now 8-8, the Bengals are the very last team in the AFC playoff picture and host the already clinched Cleveland Browns in Week 18, though Cleveland will look to hold onto the No. 5 seed. Jake Browning completed 19 of 33 passes for 197 yards, one touchdown and no picks but was stymied throughout by Kansas City's defense. The Chiefs clinched the AFC West for the eighth straight year with Isiah Pacheco's 130 rushing yards on 18 carries standing out.

FREEPORT, N.Y. — Authorities in New York are looking for the person responsible for stabbing a dog 17 times.
The dog, a 2-year-old Terrier mix who has since been named Cornell, was injured by a sharp object on Nov. 27, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly told WNBC-TV. He survived the attack but had a long road to recovery.
A woman claimed to have found the dog bleeding on a street in the Long Island village of Freeport, according to the television station. The dog did not have a collar or an identification chip, Donnelly said. There was no evidence that Cornell was part of a dogfighting ring, WNBC reported.
The woman who found the dog is not a suspect, Donnelly said.
“Cornell can’t tell us his story. He can’t tell us what happened. He can’t tell us why or when something like this happened to him,” Donnelly told WABC-TV. “We just know he was found bleeding from the 17 wounds.”
Dog found stabbed 17 times in Nassau County, $5K reward offered for information https://t.co/1rJiYJmwbx pic.twitter.com/HfMGPIGtas
— Eyewitness News (@ABC7NY) December 29, 2023
“I’ve seen some pretty horrific things but the extent of the amount of times he was stabbed is unimaginable how someone could ever do that,” Ashley Behrens, acting director of the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, told WPIX-TV.
The dog is now walking, jogging and thriving, barely a month after he was attacked, according to the television station.
Two-year-old terrier mix Cornell is walking, jogging, and thriving just one month after being found with 17 stab wounds across his body, according to county officials.
“Some of the stab wounds caused his lungs to leak air between his body cavity and his lungs, and they had to be drained a number of times,” Donnelly said, according to WABC. “The other stab wounds were cleaned, were either stapled or sewn.”
Donnelly said there were currently no suspects, but she said her office is seeking the public’s help to find out what happened to Cornell.
“I believe this was somebody’s pet. He’s too healthy and in too good shape to have been a street dog,” Donnelly said, according to WNBC. “We need the public’s health to help us find who did this to Cornell.”
Gary Rogers of the Nassau County SPCA echoed Donnelly’s comments.
“People start out on animals before they move into human beings,” Rogers told WPIX. “Somebody in the community knows what happened. You got to keep your community safe. You need to call the DA’s office and tell them who did this because next time you’re going to look at this it could be somebody else.”
Nassau County SPCA is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction, WABC reported. | https://www.hits973.com/news/trending/dog-survives-after-being-stabbed-17-times/7UTCMVE4B5H7XPWUMMAC6N3X3U/ | 2024-01-01T03:04:30Z |

What’s next for Dolphins after Ravens deliver 'gut check'?
When the 56-19 loss settled, the Miami Dolphins needed more than one glance into their proverbial mirrors.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wished he had shifted his glance a little more quickly to see the defender in his receiver’s path on his first interception, and he wished he hadn’t tried to force a ball to Tyreek Hill over the linebacker who snatched the second.
Hill wished he hadn’t bobbled and then dropped a wide-open touchdown pass from Tagovailoa, one of six targets on which the duo failed to connect in the blowout loss.
Dolphins defenders wish they had tackled better in space, limiting or at least complicating the Baltimore Ravens’ display of run-in touchdowns.
And head coach Mike McDaniel wished he had pulled edge rusher Bradley Chubb earlier from an out-of-reach contest. Instead, with the Dolphins trailing by 30 points and less than 4 minutes to play in regulation, Chubb suffered a non-contact knee injury that required carting off.
“I would like a time machine, for sure, in that situation,” McDaniel said. “In hindsight, I would absolutely not have wanted him out there if I would have known he was going to get hurt.
“There’s times in football games where it’s not about winning or losing or ‘Can we come back?’ It's about finishing the football game and having a taste of what our expectations were going into it.”
The Dolphins’ expectations entering their visit to Baltimore and their reality traveling home at 11-5 veered far apart. Their playoff expectations now risk the same trajectory.
“Situations like this where you go into a game with full belief in each other and the eventual outcome … ends up monumentally in another direction, it’s a gut check for a football team,” McDaniel said. “We need to recalibrate, get back together and press forward together.
“Run from nothing. Own it.”
How the Dolphins unraveled vs. stifling Ravens
The Dolphins started off the game strong.
Tagovailoa connected with Hill, running back De’Von Achane and fullback Alec Ingold each for double-digit gains on the first drive alone. Facing third-and-goal from Baltimore’s 8, Tagovailoa pump-faked his first throw before nailing receiver Cedrick Wilson on a high-low concept that forced the Ravens’ defense to wonder whether Hill or Wilson was its intended receiver.
The Dolphins had found the end zone first. But Baltimore answered.
Despite Rashod Bateman failing to survive the ground on a 42-yard pass that was reversed and offensive pass interference nullifying a 26-yard completion to Justice Hill, Jackson distributed the ball a la Tagovailoa with chunk plays to three different targets on the way to the red zone. With 6:39 to play in the first, Jackson dropped back and let a ball rip amid pressure, finding Hill between two defenders on the right sideline for a 20-yard touchdown.
The Dolphins stayed alive with a Tyreek Hill 25-yard catch on fourth-and-5 their next drive but ultimately settled for a field goal.
Against the fourth-ranked scoring offense in the league, that’s not a winning formula.
Nor is turning the ball over.
Miami stayed competitive early, forcing a punt and scoring a pair of field goals. But after a seeming busted coverage allowed a 75-yard touchdown – cornerback Xavien Howard, injured on the first Ravens snap of the day, was missed – the game began veering off course for Miami.
Tagovailoa hurried to fit a play in before halftime and instead threw the first interception.
Miami’s special teams allowed a 78-yard punt return to start the second half, one of several factors in McDaniel’s postgame remark: “I’m confident saying before watching the film: We’re not going to be happy with the way we tackled in open space.”
And even when the Dolphins defense punched a ball loose from Ravens RB Gus Edwards, the optimism was short-lived.
Tagovailoa’s second interception was the next play.
The Dolphins could expect nothing different from the NFL’s most takeaway-happy group.
“With circumstances within the game, there was a play or two where maybe we were forcing something,” McDaniel said. “Defensively, they’ve been very opportunistic. We knew that, and ultimately, we played right into their hands.”
A day Tyreek Hill described as “one of the worst games of my career” became the Dolphins’ worst loss of the season, and a day on which Miami was shorthanded due to injuries merited less sympathy when considering the Ravens’ bill of health.
Baltimore was missing its starting right guard, star tight end, two running backs and a cornerback.
Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith, who intercepted and returned a pass 30 yards in addition to seven tackles and another deflection, said Baltimore couldn’t dwell on that or their short week after a Monday night game across the country.
“It’s just adversity,” Smith said. “Look adversity in the face, and like I always tell the guys – chin up, chest out. We don't bow down for anything. Do all you can do. People make excuses with adversity and we just produce.
“Life is not about excuses. It's about what you do and play the cards that you’re dealt.”
The Dolphins best heed that advice.
After Ravens crush Miami, are Dolphins’ playoff hopes at stake?
Tagovailoa, despite taking a hit to his throwing shoulder on a fourth-quarter scramble, was healthy enough to address reporters after the game and seems on schedule to complete his fully available season.
Based on the cart, non-contact nature of injury and shellshock in Dolphins players’ voices, Chubb seems unlikely to play next week or in the postseason.
So sure, in a regular-season finale with the AFC East title on the line, Miami won’t be at full saddle. Neither will Buffalo nor any team the Dolphins face in the postseason.
What the franchise needs to do is better adjust to its personnel shifts and better scheme for its available players. Miami did that well in the run game Sunday, when Achane took the lead role in place of the injured Raheem Mostert, Achane contributing a game-high 137 yards and one touchdown.
But Miami’s passing attack was far too inconsistent, as Tagovailoa completed 57.9% of his passes compared to his league-leading 70.5% mark across the season. (For context, 51 quarterbacks who have attempted at least 50 passes have attempted more than 57.9%.)
Baltimore gashed the Dolphins defense for 491 total yards, a season-worst allowance along with the 56-point output.
Sure, as fairly said after the Ravens dismantled the 49ers, most teams cannot attack and maintain pressure at the rate which Baltimore can.
But the Dolphins have dabbled in Super Bowl-contender conversations, and it’s unlikely they’ll be able to reach that goal without besting Baltimore. It’s unlikely they’ll be able to win any remaining regular or postseason game with the suppressed performance all three phases produced Sunday.
“Everything’s still in front of us,” Tagovailoa said, but achieving it will require much more than Miami showed with the chance to clinch the division on the line.
Tagovailoa preached the importance of consistency after the Dolphins played well enough through one quarter to win but not through four.
Then, he tapped into the glass-half-full perspective as he moved forward.
“If you have the perspective of things could be worse – we could not have clinched the playoff berth, we could not have been playing in a game like this that mattered for positioning with the seeding,” Tagovailoa said. “So if you think of it like that, we’re right where we need to be as a team, regardless of the outcome today.
“We’ll be better for it and hopefully get to see these guys again.” | https://sports.yahoo.com/whats-next-for-dolphins-after-ravens-deliver-gut-check-022855677.html | 2024-01-01T03:04:34Z |

Twitter backer knocks billions off its value after Musk’s outburst
By James Warrington
An investor in X, formerly called Twitter, has written down the value of its stake by $US2.85 billion ($4.2 billion) after its owner Elon Musk told boycotting advertisers to “go f--- yourself”.
Fidelity, which helped Musk buy the company for $US44 billion ($65 billion) in 2022, now believes it is worth 71.5 per cent less than at the time of purchase.
The US investment giant had already slashed the value of its investment by 65 per cent at the end of October but deepened the discount in November. It came in the same month that Musk launched a tirade against advertisers.
Speaking at a New York Times conference, Musk claimed a boycott by advertisers was going to “kill” the company, adding, “If somebody is going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go f--- yourself.”
Apple, IBM and Disney are among the major brands to cut ties with the social media platform, amid concerns about lax moderation under Musk and the billionaire’s freewheeling personal style.
Fidelity’s valuation cut, which was first reported by Axios, gives the company a notional value of just $US12.5 billion and suggests X has lost $US2.85 billion of worth in the eyes of Fidelity in just four weeks.
The investment group, which contributed more than $US300 million to Musk’s takeover, does not disclose how it values privately held companies. Other shareholders may value their stakes differently.
However, X’s own internal share plan for staff valued the company at just $US19 billion in October – less than half the sum Musk paid for it.
X has undergone a turbulent period under the ownership of the Tesla billionaire. The debt-fuelled takeover has left the company struggling to break even and Musk has slashed thousands of jobs and introduced subscription fees in response.
Worsening the debt crisis is the reluctance of advertisers to work with the platform since the takeover.
X is believed to have lost 60 per cent of its advertisers after the takeover amid concerns brands were appearing alongside harmful material.
The European Commission has opened an investigation into the company over its alleged role in disseminating propaganda relating to terrorist group Hamas.
Musk has also been accused of personally promoting antisemitic and racist conspiracy theories, although he has insisted he is against antisemitism of any kind.
Linda Yaccarino, who replaced Musk as chief executive in June, has been scrambling to revive revenue and has staged a charm offensive with advertisers in a bid to win back trust.

By Jacob Shteyman
Large swathes of northern Australia are set for a sweltering start to the new year.
The Bureau of Meteorology had put in place heatwave warnings for parts of Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, where temperatures are expected to soar into the 40s on Monday.
The western Kimberley in WA, including the Dampier Peninsula, was forecast to be the worst hit, with the mercury expected to touch 46 degrees at Marble Bar.
The town’s heat gauge has been showing scorching temperatures higher than the bureau’s official readings in recent days, with thermometers at the local RSL registering 51 degrees.
Extreme heatwave warnings were also in place for parts of far northern Queensland and the Tiwi Islands in the NT.
Severe heatwave conditions were expected for the Top End, while a low-intensity heatwave would extend throughout much of the nation’s interior, including into South Australia and western NSW.
While Queensland’s northern interior was due to face severe heatwave conditions, parts of the state were also bracing for potentially damaging thunderstorms.
Charters Towers in the state’s north was expecting a double whammy of severe thunderstorms temperatures reaching 36C.
Conditions were expected to begin cooling slightly over the next week but severe and low-intensity heatwaves were still forecast for much of Australia’s north.
Mild conditions were forecast for Queensland’s southeast and further down the east coast.
Temperatures of 26C were expected in Sydney while Melbourne could expect a maximum of 25C on Monday.

New images from NASA confirm Ultima Thule's flat shape
New Horizons performed its farthest flyby when it approached Ultima Thule within 2,200 miles (about 3,540 km) of the surface at a velocity of 31,500 miles (about 50,694 km) per hour on Jan. 1.
The latest images were taken nearly 10 minutes after New Horizons crossed its closest approach point, which were the final views New Horizons captured of Ultima Thule, said a NASA release on Friday.
Previously scientists called Ultima Thule "snowman" as the first close-up images revealed its two distinct and spherical segments. However, more analysis of approach images and new departure images have changed that view.
Stringing 14 of the latest images into a short departure movie, New Horizons scientists confirmed that the two sections, or "lobes," of Ultima Thule are not spherical.
The larger lobe, nicknamed "Ultima," more closely resembles a giant pancake, and the smaller lobe, nicknamed "Thule," is shaped like a dented walnut, according to the mission team.
"We had an impression of Ultima Thule based on the limited number of images returned in the days around the flyby, but seeing more data has significantly changed our view," said mission Principal Investigator Alan Stern.
"It would be closer to reality to say Ultima Thule's shape is flatter, like a pancake. But more importantly, the new images are creating scientific puzzles about how such an object could even be formed. We've never seen something like this orbiting the Sun," he said. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/new-images-from-nasa-confirm-ultima-thule-s-flat-shape_a3497261/ | 2024-01-01T03:04:56Z |

The Secret Ingredient For Amazing Scrambled Eggs Is Simply Another Yolk
Eggs are a classic easy breakfast for mornings when you need something a little heartier than buttered toast or cereal with milk. And scrambled eggs are simple, quick, filling, savory, and require only a few ingredients. But you may not know you can make this breakfast staple even heartier with a very simple ingredient: more eggs. More specifically, more egg yolks.
Cooking up scrambled eggs involves cracking and whisking entire eggs, and the end result should ideally be soft and fluffy, but it can easily end up being tasteless and rubbery, especially if you overcook the eggs. In those cases, adding extra pepper or hot sauce can fix a bland taste, but it can't fix an unpleasant texture. Tossing in extra egg yolks addresses both the flavor and texture problems at once. Egg yolks are already more flavorful and creamier than egg whites, which have a rather neutral taste. Just as importantly, extra yolks can keep your scrambled eggs fluffy.
Eggs with more eggs
How exactly do scrambled eggs work? Without getting too much into the science of eggs, the cooking process causes proteins inside the eggs to bond together, making the eggs' texture stiffer, per America's Test Kitchen. Egg yolks contain chemicals that can interfere with the protein bonding, partly because of all the extra fat inside the yolks. In short, it's harder to overcook scrambled eggs when you add more yolks. Still, remember to cook the scrambled eggs at medium-low heat because there's no guarantee you won't overcook them.
Depending on how much you're making, you may only need one extra yolk per every three to four eggs. Or you might find that adding even more yolks suits your tastes better, as the result will be even creamier and richer. So if you were to use eight whole eggs for a breakfast that would serve a few people, adding two to three yolks would add an extra creaminess.
Scrambling eggs the healthy way
So, will adding more egg yolks make your plate of scrambled eggs healthier? In some ways, yes. It's true that yolks contain more fat and cholesterol than the whites. However, yolks more than make up for that with the amount of nutrients they contain. Yolks are great sources of vitamins like vitamin D and vitamin B12, alongside omega-3s and healthy minerals like calcium and iron. Beyond that, the cholesterol in egg yolks isn't quite as unhealthy as we once believed, per Harvard Health. So health-wise, there isn't a downside to adding an extra yolk to your scrambled eggs.
Still, if you're looking for ways to make your scrambled eggs healthier, there are different ways to go about it. Adding cream cheese or cottage cheese are alternative ways to make your eggs creamy without having to use butter. Adding veggies like spinach into the mixture is also a fairly easy way to make your breakfast more nutritious. Simply toss the spinach in with the scrambled eggs midway through the brief cooking time. | https://www.thedailymeal.com/1481396/secret-ingredient-scrambled-eggs-extra-egg-yolk/ | 2024-01-01T03:05:02Z |

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his military to “thoroughly annihilate” the United States and South Korea if provoked, state media reported Monday, after he vowed to boost national defenses to cope with what he called an unprecedented U.S.-led confrontation.
Kim is expected to ramp up weapons tests in 2024 ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November. Many experts say he likely believes his expanded nuclear arsenal would allow him to wrest U.S. concessions if former President Donald Trump is reelected.
In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
In a meeting on Sunday with commanding army officers, Kim said it is urgent to sharpen “the treasured sword” to safeguard national security, an apparent reference to his country’s nuclear weapons program. He cited “the U.S. and other hostile forces’ military confrontation moves,” according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
Kim stressed that “our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment’s hesitation” if they opt for military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, KCNA said.
Experts say small-scale military clashes between North and South Korea could happen this year along their heavily armed border. They say North Korea is also expected to test-launch intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland U.S. and other major new weapons.
In 2018-19, Kim met Trump in three rounds of talks on North Korea’s expanding nuclear arsenal. The diplomacy fell apart after the U.S. rejected Kim’s limited offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
Estimates of the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from about 20-30 bombs to more than 100. Many foreign experts say North Korea still has some technological hurdles to overcome to produce functioning nuclear-armed ICBMs, though its shorter-range nuclear-capable missiles can reach South Korea and Japan. | https://www.wdtn.com/news/u-s-world/ap-international/ap-north-koreas-kim-orders-military-to-thoroughly-annihilate-us-south-korea-if-provoked/ | 2024-01-01T03:05:04Z |

Does Aldi Sell Keto-Friendly Products?
To keep up a ketogenic diet, you'll need to alter the amount of carbohydrates you're eating. According to Healthline, ketogenic diets — commonly referred to simply as "keto" — place a heavy importance on protein and fat, while cutting out most carbohydrates. There are a few different variations of the diet that allow for varying amounts of carbs to be eaten, but most do place restrictions on the amounts.
Fortunately for those who are seeking keto-friendly foods, Aldi has quite a few different options available to purchase in stores. Some are even clearly labeled with a "keto-friendly" denotation on the packaging. Some keto Aldi fans have even created Instagram accounts to showcase the store's options.
In terms of protein, the store sells Never Any Chicken Sausages in a few different flavors, which contain only about a gram of carbohydrates. Cans of tuna, ground beef, various seafood, and Jennie-O Turkey Burgers are also sold in stores, and all contain zero carbs. Or, if you'd prefer to make a soup, Aldi's Simply Nature poultry bone broth also contains zero carbohydrates. Protein selections can vary by store, but in general, any with no or low carbs will be keto-compliant.
The store sells plenty of keto meal elements to cook with
There are quite a few other ingredients that can help to bulk up your dishes, too. Season's Choice-branded riced cauliflower is zero carb, and can serve as a base for plenty of dishes. If you want to wrap your protein up, Aldi also sells low-carb tortillas, or zero-carb cheese wraps. Or, if you simply want to make a quick sandwich with some meat and keto-friendly vegetables, low-carb bread is also available.
Keto-friendly sides — like guacamole, sous vide egg bites, stuffing mix, and omelet breakfast bites — have also been spotted in stores. And, of course, other kitchen basics, like Kerrygold butter, Happy Farms cream cheese, avocado and coconut oils, almond milk, heavy whipping cream, and various spices and seasonings can also be purchased. These elements can be combined to create keto meals, like a keto lasagna using meat in place of noodles.
If you want to finish off your meal with something sweet, Aldi sells low-carb almond flour chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and birthday cake-flavored cookies. Some stores may also carry coconut dessert bars, dark chocolate coconut clusters, or Elevation Keto Bars, which come in flavors like chocolate almond brownie, chocolate coconut macaroon, and salted caramel pecan.
There are plenty of keto snacks available
If you're in need of some keto-friendly snacks, the grocery store chain has plenty of options when it comes to those, too. If beef jerky is your go-to, you may want to check out Simms Beef Biltong. The meat snack comes in original, teriyaki, and smoked flavors, with only one gram of carbohydrates in the entire package. The store also sells trays of prosciutto panino — prosciutto wrapped around cheese.
If you're craving a little more crunch when it comes to snacking, there are plenty of keto-friendly crackers available. Cheese crisps, kale chips, parmesan crackers, cheesy Elevation Protein Puffs, and almond flour crackers have all been spotted in stores. Pork rinds are also sold, and while they may make for a good snack on their own, they can also double as an alternative to breadcrumbs when crushed up.
Aldi's product offerings and prices may vary by location, so not every store will have every product in stock. Still, if you're looking for some new keto-friendly foods to taste test, it might just be worth it to check out your local Aldi. Just be sure to keep an eye out for products advertising low or no carbs. | https://www.thedailymeal.com/1481473/does-aldi-sell-keto-products/ | 2024-01-01T03:05:08Z |

By Christian Wienberg
Copenhagen: Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, the world’s longest-serving monarch, has said she will hand over her position to her son after 52 years on the throne.
The queen, 83, cited deteriorating health for her decision, in a speech to the nation on Sunday.
The queen has suffered from back and knee pain in recent years.
After undergoing surgery in 2023, she quit a heavy smoking habit, which had lasted 66 years and often was subject of debate. Health professionals had called on the queen to be a better role model.
After the 2022 death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, who was a close friend as well as a distant cousin, Margrethe became the world’s longest-ruling monarch. Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei, has held the title of ruler longer than Margrethe, but his country only became independent in 1984. Margrethe also in 2023 became the longest-sitting ruler in the 1200 years of the Danish monarchy.
The popularity of the queen, known for her sharp wit and artistic abilities, has supported Europe’s oldest monarchy through a half-century during which Denmark underwent sweeping societal changes, and royal houses elsewhere in Europe became mired in scandal.
Her position as monarch in a country with a democratic constitution has never widely been questioned. In a 2022 opinion poll by newspaper Jyllands-Posten, 72 per cent of Danes said they supported the monarchy. In a 2023 survey by TV2, 78 per cent said they expected Denmark would still have a monarchy in 50 years, up from 67 per cent in a 2015 poll.
Not that Margrethe’s reign was crisis-free.
In 2022, she stripped four of her grandchildren of their royal titles in a streamlining move, provoking what she acknowledged were “strong reactions.” And during her ailing husband’s final years, he complained publicly about his role.
Part of the queen’s appeal has come from her multiple talents.
She’s fluent in Danish, German, English, French and Swedish. Her work as an artist has spanned paintings, book illustrations, theatre costume designs and church textiles. Her works have been displayed in more than 50 museums from Tokyo to Washington.
In 1981, working under a pseudonym, she translated into Danish a book by the French philosopher and feminist Simone de Beauvoir, All Men Are Mortal.
Although Margrethe was the first woman to rule Denmark in 560 years, she refused to vocally promote gender equality, to the disappointment of some members of Danish women’s rights groups.
“I prefer not to be involved in any movement,” she said during a trip to the US in 1976, when gender issues were high on the agenda in her homeland. “I have sympathy for it, but my job is to be queen, and that requires all my abilities and strength.”
Margrethe was born on April 16, 1940, the first of three daughters of King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid. Her birth at the royal palace in Copenhagen came a week after Nazi Germany attacked and occupied Denmark.
At the time, she wasn’t in line to become head of state, as the constitution only allowed male succession. That would have meant the monarchy passing to her uncle, Knud.
But popular sentiment was behind the bright, young princess. A constitutional referendum was held in 1953 that paved the way for female succession if the royal couple didn’t have any sons. In 2009, the law of succession was changed again to give the first-born the right to the throne, regardless of gender.
In the period 1960-1965, Crown Princess Margrethe studied at the University of Copenhagen, the University of Cambridge, the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne, completing courses in archaeology and political science.
Margrethe has said that if she hadn’t been a monarch she would have been torn between becoming an archaeologist or an artist.
“I’m fortunate that I never had to face that dilemma because I knew what my task was, but then found out that I could still pursue the arts and also, to some extent, archaeology,” the queen said in the 2011 interview book M, by author Jens Andersen.
In 1967, she married Henri Marie Jean Andre, a French count who had grown up in Vietnam. He took the Danish name Prince Consort Henrik. They had two sons: Crown Prince Frederik in 1968 and Prince Joachim the year after.
She ascended the throne in 1972 after the death of her father and balanced her work as an artist with her royal duties.
Margrethe faced her biggest public crisis in the last years of her marriage as Henrik repeatedly complained about his role and said he should have been given the title of king.
In 2017, he said he didn’t want to be buried with his wife in the Roskilde Cathedral, as had been planned. Later that year, the royal court issued a statement saying the prince suffered from dementia.
When he died in 2018, at age 83, Henrik was cremated, and a portion of his ashes was placed in the garden of a royal castle near Copenhagen. The other part was spread in Danish waters, in accordance with his wishes.
The move to strip the titles from the children of Margrethe’s younger son followed similar downsizing in other royal houses, such as in Sweden. A week after it was announced, Margrethe apologised to her family but stuck by her decision, saying it was “in keeping with the times” and necessary to “future-proof” the institution, according to the royal court.
“I have made my decision as Queen, mother and grandmother, but, as a mother and grandmother, I have underestimated the extent to which much my younger son and his family feel affected,” she said in a written statement at the time. “That makes a big impression, and for that I am sorry.”

Australian Border Force crackdown nets 30 foreign fishers, destroys three boats off Kimberley coast
/ By Esse DevesThirty suspected Indonesian fishers have been placed in immigration detention following a targeted crackdown on illegal foreign fishing vessels in waters off Western Australia's Kimberley coast.
Key points:
- Authorities say it is the biggest cohort of foreign fishers to be detained in nearly a decade
- The fishers were targeting lucrative sea cucumbers in the Kimberley Marine Park
- Indonesian fishers have repeatedly been sighted off the northern Western Australian coast
The fishers are facing prosecution and removal from Australia after a multi-agency operation, led by Australian Border Force (ABF), uncovered three illegal fishing boats, a combined haul of one tonne of trepang (sea cucumber) and fishing equipment.
The intercepted vessels have been destroyed.
The exercise included surveillance by land, air and sea, and focused on areas within the Kimberley Marine Park north of Broome.
ABF Assistant Commissioner and Operation Leedstrum commander Kylie Rendina said it was "the largest cohort of foreign fishers to be detained in over a decade".
"If you fish illegally, you will lose your vessel, your equipment and you will be placed in immigration detention to face potential prosecution," she said.
The Indonesian fishers were safely transported to shore and have since been flown to the Yongah Hill Immigration Detention Centre in Northam, north-east of Perth.
Australian Fisheries Management Authority fisheries operation general manager Justin Bathurst said an investigation would take place.
"As well as facing destruction of their vessel and seizure of catch and equipment, these foreign fishers will be subject to a thorough investigation and, where appropriate, prosecution for offences against Australian law," he said.
"[The operation] will continue to disrupt illegal activity along our coastline. We continue to combine our resources to prevent illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and safeguard valuable fish stocks against exploitation by illegal foreign fishing vessels."
The Kimberley Marine Park stretches for nearly 75,000 square kilometres and is home to whales, dolphins, dugongs and turtles.
Mr Bathurst said the highly protected park was an "attractive choice for illegal foreign fishers".
Surge in illegal fishers
Operation Leedstrum was set up in December amid a surge in illegal activity in Kimberley waters in recent months, with 65 vessels sighted over a 24-hour period during October 2023.
ABF says the operation will continue until illegal fishers are deterred from entering the region.
ABF records show 125 boats were intercepted during the 2022-2023 financial year.
Animal populations like sea cucumbers are in demand by illegal fishers. | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-01/australian-border-force-30-illegal-fishers-kimberley-crackdown/103276932 | 2024-01-01T03:05:35Z |
BALTIMORE – All day, even before the first snap of the game, the Baltimore crowd – primed for a game and possibly a late-night party – roared for Lamar Jackson. He emerged from the tunnel. "M-V-P" went the din. He threw a pass that resulted in a highlight-reel catch and it was Jackson who heard "M-V-P" chanted for him. He deserved it, of course.
Jackson operated almost exclusively from the pocket Sunday, because the Miami Dolphins rarely pressured him, apparently content to test whether the quarterback could wreck a game using only his right arm instead of his legs.
He can. He did. Decisively. He threw five touchdowns. He completed 18 of 21 passes. He had a perfect passer rating for most of the day and finished with it, too. He was a quarterback in full, terrifyingly fast when he did run, but also on target and in command of his weapons.
The Ravens' 56-19 dismantling of the Miami Dolphins is not exclusively about Jackson, although you wonder what all those teams that didn't even try to construct an offer sheet from him last offseason must be thinking now. The Ravens clinched the AFC North and the conference's top seed – and a first-round bye – because so much else about the Ravens is nearly as good as Jackson is. On a short week, after dominating a physical opponent in San Francisco on Christmas night, the Ravens flew across the country to get home and dominated a racecar of an 11-win opponent.
"I don't know if I've seen a more impressive performance in a game," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "I'm not sure I've seen a more impressive performance in a season to date. Obviously, we have a lot more to do. To step up and play the way they have and to put an exclamation point – a triple exclamation point on it – with a performance like this, pretty much a well-rounded, perfect performance like that after the opening bell."
That's saying something, considering that the Ravens were nearly perfect in San Francisco. What the destruction of the Dolphins proved is that Christmas night was no aberration, but merely the extension of a pattern. In the space of six days, Jackson has thrown seven touchdown passes against the NFC’s No. 1 seed and the team that might still be the AFC’s No. 2 seed. The Ravens are now 7-1 this season against opponents that entered the game with a winning record. And in those games, the Ravens' point differential is plus-170. They are not just beating the NFL's best teams. They are dominating them, week after week.
In a measure of how far the Ravens have come from last season, the last time they played the Dolphins – in Week 2 of 2022 – the Ravens led 35-14 at the start of the fourth quarter and lost, allowing four fourth-quarter touchdowns by the Dolphins. When Jackson was asked what he thought of the crowd chanting for him, he said he wasn't paying attention.
"Last year, the score was looking like that at halftime, in the third quarter, and those guys started making plays," Jackson said. "The only thing that was on my mind was to finish the game and we did."
A sequence in the second quarter showed the breadth of the Ravens' dominance. Just after the Dolphins had kicked a field goal to pull to within one point late in the quarter. On the first snap of the next drive, from his own 25-yard line, Jackson launched a bomb to Zay Flowers, who was sprinting alone down the right sideline, so wide open that he put his right hand up to call for the ball. Jackson's pass reached him at about the Dolphins' 40-yard line and after a few steps – eluding a flailing attempt at a tackle by cornerback Eli Apple – Flowers had a touchdown. On the next drive, Tua Tagovailoa tried to rifle a pass to Cedric Wilson into a tight window in the middle of the field. Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith has seen that play before, earlier in the game, on a pass that was targeted to Tyreek Hill. Smith didn't get there fast enough then, but he recognized the pass to Wilson and took off.
"I knew it had to be an in-breaking route, so I said, 'I'm going to just run,'" Smith said. "I couldn't believe it. I saw it and I was like, 'Crap, let me stick this arm out.'"
Smith reeled in the football with just his right hand, one of the two interceptions of Tagovailoa. The drive stalled, though, and the Ravens faced fourth-and-7 from Miami's 35-yard line. The Ravens' Justin Tucker is the best kicker in football history and was already on the field. But Harbaugh thought the wind was bad enough that the Ravens had just as good a chance of getting the first down. Jackson backpedaled nearly to midfield and found Isaiah Likely streaking across the field. Likely, at about the 25-yard line, stuck his left hand out – he practices it, he said, and when he saw Smith make his play, Likely knew he had to do it, too, and score -- never broke stride and raced the rest of the way for a touchdown.
A one-point lead had ballooned to 15 points in less than two minutes, and it would get much worse when Justice Hill returned the second-half kickoff 78 yards. Three plays later, Likely caught another touchdown pass – followed by more "M-V-P" chanting -- and even the residual agony from last year's Dolphins comeback couldn't dent how multidimensional the Ravens are now. One of the most startling statistics from the game was in offensive production. The Ravens had 491 yards. Their average pass was for 14.4 yards. The Dolphins, who are known for their speed and explosion, were without Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Waddle, and the Ravens forced them to take the long way down the field. They ran 66 plays, 11 more than the Ravens, but their passes averaged just 5.4 yards per throw.
"We kept saying if we can start hitting the deep ball, that's going to be a backbreaker," Harbaugh said. "Turned out to be a back breaker today."
It is all a far cry from last season, when Ravens receivers were plagued by drops and the team limped into the playoffs, and were quickly dispatched, without an injured Jackson on the field. Jackson remembers that, of course, and he said he is grateful to be with his team now. He looked more than grateful, though. He looked like he was in a zone, where he simply could not miss. Todd Monken's offense has suited him, and Jackson now has the power to make decisions. A 33-yard pass to Odell Beckham Jr. on the right sideline, which dropped over Beckham's left shoulder and which Beckham caught as he was falling, while dragging his feet, was a check.
"That's the type of game I like," Jackson said about Monken's aggressive play-calling. "He was letting me be the decision-maker. I can be aggressive, but just take what the defense gives us."
From the first time Jackson FaceTimed with Beckham, the receiver said, Jackson has talked over and over about winning a Super Bowl.
A neat bit of NFL symmetry may be at work on the Ravens' path to the championship. The Ravens last won the Super Bowl in 2012, which was also the last time they won multiple playoff games in a season, when Joe Flacco was their quarterback. Flacco, enjoying a career renaissance with the Cleveland Browns, could soon be back in Baltimore as the visitor. The Browns are locked into the AFC’s top wild-card spot. If the Browns win and the other seedings hold up on Super Wild Card Weekend, Flacco will try to end his former team's season in the Divisional Round.
But first, Harbaugh and Jackson are going to have a talk. Harbaugh said he has already thought about how he will handle the regular-season finale against Pittsburgh, which now has no impact on the Ravens' playoff seeding. The Ravens need the break to get banged-up players, especially on defense, healthy again, but Harbaugh must weigh if resting Jackson risks breaking the momentum of the offense right now.
It is a tricky balancing act and one that Harbaugh said he would likely discuss with other coaches, including Bill Belichick. The last time the Ravens were the AFC's top seed, was 2019. Jackson won the MVP that year and the Ravens looked unstoppable then, too. They lost their first playoff game, to the Tennessee Titans.
"We remember 2019," Harbaugh said. "You're not going to take it for granted. Not that we ever would, but it's one more thing that makes you who you are at this point in time. We haven't forgotten that." | https://www.nfl.com/news/multidimensional-baltimore-ravens-again-show-dominance-with-rout-of-dolphins | 2024-01-01T03:05:36Z |
The Carolina Panthers have had a terrible, terrible season from hell, and it only hit a new low on Sunday.
Scoring zero points in a 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars — who were starting backup quarterback C.J. Beathard — as Bryce Young’s brutal rookie season comes to a near-close wasn’t even the worst part of the day.
Averaging 2.3 yards per play and not crossing 100 total yards until the fourth quarter wasn’t the lowest point of the day for the Panthers.
No, in a moment of what can (at best) be described as a brief loss of control, Panthers team owner David Tepper appeared to throw a drink at an unruly Jaguars fan who was in front of him toward the end of the game. Tepper's Panthers have been unequivocally the worst team in the league this year, but there is simply no excuse for this behavior in the middle of tough times — particularly from his perch as the owner of a NFL team.
"We are aware of the video and have no further comment at this time," the NFL said in a statement, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. The Panthers themselves, meanwhile, still haven't commented.
This is just flat-out a rotten way to behave. Fights have been ignited over throwing drinks on people. It’s one of the most disrespectful, non-physical things a human can do to another human. Alcohol with backwash all over a t-shirt or an expensive jersey ain’t cool, man. Especially amid the power dynamics of Tepper not just being a team owner, but one of the singularly richest people in the entire world.
Tepper might as well be an anonymous person on the internet in that scenario. He’s completely untouchable as a person of his financial and social stature. He would never suffer a real punishment for behaving in this fashion because there is nothing that the person who got the drink poured on him can do. It’s an abuse of power as much as it is just a lame thing to do.
To take it a step further, if this is how Tepper is acting in public, it's easy to see why the Panthers have had so many head coaches in the brief time that Tepper has owned the team. It was an illogical, rushed, emotional response that puts him and his decision making under further scrutiny and gives partial context as to why the Panthers have been so dysfunctional over the past few years. A rotating door of head coaches and their interim replacements, musical chairs at quarterback, trading up for Young when the roster clearly wasn't ready to support a rookie quarterback — and now, this unruly moment that has been caught on camera.
Panthers fans are already (kind of) joking about whether or not this moment can be used to strip Tepper of his ownership. That isn’t going to happen. It takes a lot more than that for someone to lose their team, but it does paint the picture of where this team is.
The Panthers are just 31-67 since Tepper took over in 2018 and he’s about to hire his third full-time head coach in that timespan with a roster that doesn’t appear anywhere close to competing, even in the dismal NFC South.
At some point Tepper is going to have to stumble into success by mistake, even with his rash and hasty decision-making.
The part here that resonates beyond football is that everyone knows Tepper won’t or can’t face real discipline through this due to the power he holds. When you’re this wealthy in America, this is sadly one of the perks afforded to you.
The only hope here is that Tepper can see this as a moment of weakness and hopefully make changes for himself that will make the Panthers a respected franchise again. It simply doesn’t have to be like this. | https://www.wdbo.com/news/national/david-teppers/RXRNEJBSH74R5H6QU5M4LSTN4A/ | 2024-01-01T03:05:35Z |

Campers rescued as heavy rain and flooding hits northern New South Wales across New Year
/The new year has got off to a dramatic start in northern New South Wales with heavy rain causing waterways across the Tweed to break their banks overnight.
Key points:
- Rain lashed the Tweed region of northern NSW overnight
- The highest 24-hour total was 307mm at Limpinwood, west of Murwillumbah
- BOM advises of minor to moderate flooding of waterways across the Tweed
The State Emergency Service has carried out three separate rescues, including the rescue of a family of four who became trapped when water surrounded their caravan on the banks of the Oxley River near Tyalgum.
Tweed SES unit commander Tim Carlson remains cut-off by two waterways after travelling into the area to rescue the family.
Mr Carlson said the river had inundated the flat area around the caravan, leaving the family next to their cars about 50 metres from dry ground in fast-flowing water.
"I think anyone in that situation would be a bit shaken up, but fortunately there were no major injuries," he said.
"They were all a just bit cold for being in the rain and water."
Weather warnings continue
Heavy rain hit parts of the Tweed overnight.
The other rescues were at Condong and Uki as people got caught out driving through floodwaters.
The highest total was in Limpinwood, west of Murwillumbah, which recorded 307 millimetres In the 24 hours to 9am this morning.
A severe weather warning for heavy rainfall was issued by the Bureau of Meteorology at 11am for the area between Tweed Heads and Ballina and to areas to the west including Lismore.
A severe weather warning has also been issued for the already-battered adjacent Gold Coast and Scenic Rim areas, with BOM warning of localised intense rainfall and the possibility of life-threatening flash flooding today.
The SES has advised that the Tweed River at Murwillumbah may exceed the minor flood level of three metres this afternoon, with further rises possible if heavy rain continues.
The SES said people in Lismore, Tweed Heads, Murwillumbah, Byron Bay, Casino, and Kyogle should stay informed about the weather situation today, with a possibility of more heavy rains and flooding.
The BOM expects conditions to ease on Tuesday.

When the 56-19 loss settled, the Miami Dolphins needed more than one glance into their proverbial mirrors.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wished he had shifted his glance a little more quickly to see the defender in his receiver’s path on his first interception, and he wished he hadn’t tried to force a ball to Tyreek Hill over the linebacker who snatched the second.
Hill wished he hadn’t bobbled and then dropped a wide-open touchdown pass from Tagovailoa, one of six targets on which the duo failed to connect in the blowout loss.
Dolphins defenders wish they had tackled better in space, limiting or at least complicating the Baltimore Ravens’ display of run-in touchdowns.
And head coach Mike McDaniel wished he had pulled edge rusher Bradley Chubb earlier from an out-of-reach contest. Instead, with the Dolphins trailing by 30 points and less than 4 minutes to play in regulation, Chubb suffered a non-contact knee injury that required carting off.
“I would like a time machine, for sure, in that situation,” McDaniel said. “In hindsight, I would absolutely not have wanted him out there if I would have known he was going to get hurt.
“There’s times in football games where it’s not about winning or losing or ‘Can we come back?’ It's about finishing the football game and having a taste of what our expectations were going into it.”
The Dolphins’ expectations entering their visit to Baltimore and their reality traveling home at 11-5 veered far apart. Their playoff expectations now risk the same trajectory.
“Situations like this where you go into a game with full belief in each other and the eventual outcome … ends up monumentally in another direction, it’s a gut check for a football team,” McDaniel said. “We need to recalibrate, get back together and press forward together.
“Run from nothing. Own it.”
How the Dolphins unraveled vs. stifling Ravens
The Dolphins started off the game strong.
Tagovailoa connected with Hill, running back De’Von Achane and fullback Alec Ingold each for double-digit gains on the first drive alone. Facing third-and-goal from Baltimore’s 8, Tagovailoa pump-faked his first throw before nailing receiver Cedrick Wilson on a high-low concept that forced the Ravens’ defense to wonder whether Hill or Wilson was its intended receiver.
The Dolphins had found the end zone first. But Baltimore answered.
Despite Rashod Bateman failing to survive the ground on a 42-yard pass that was reversed and offensive pass interference nullifying a 26-yard completion to Justice Hill, Jackson distributed the ball a la Tagovailoa with chunk plays to three different targets on the way to the red zone. With 6:39 to play in the first, Jackson dropped back and let a ball rip amid pressure, finding Hill between two defenders on the right sideline for a 20-yard touchdown.
The Dolphins stayed alive with a Tyreek Hill 25-yard catch on fourth-and-5 their next drive but ultimately settled for a field goal.
Against the fourth-ranked scoring offense in the league, that’s not a winning formula.
Nor is turning the ball over.
Miami stayed competitive early, forcing a punt and scoring a pair of field goals. But after a seeming busted coverage allowed a 75-yard touchdown – cornerback Xavien Howard, injured on the first Ravens snap of the day, was missed – the game began veering off course for Miami.
Tagovailoa hurried to fit a play in before halftime and instead threw the first interception.
Miami’s special teams allowed a 78-yard punt return to start the second half, one of several factors in McDaniel’s postgame remark: “I’m confident saying before watching the film: We’re not going to be happy with the way we tackled in open space.”
And even when the Dolphins defense punched a ball loose from Ravens RB Gus Edwards, the optimism was short-lived.
Tagovailoa’s second interception was the next play.
The Dolphins could expect nothing different from the NFL's most takeaway-happy group.
“With circumstances within the game, there was a play or two where maybe we were forcing something,” McDaniel said. “Defensively, they’ve been very opportunistic. We knew that, and ultimately, we played right into their hands.”
A day Tyreek Hill described as “one of the worst games of my career” became the Dolphins’ worst loss of the season, and a day on which Miami was shorthanded due to injuries merited less sympathy when considering the Ravens’ bill of health.
Baltimore was missing its starting right guard, star tight end, two running backs and a cornerback.
Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith, who intercepted and returned a pass 30 yards in addition to seven tackles and another deflection, said Baltimore couldn’t dwell on that or their short week after a Monday night game across the country.
“It’s just adversity,” Smith said. “Look adversity in the face, and like I always tell the guys – chin up, chest out. We don't bow down for anything. Do all you can do. People make excuses with adversity and we just produce.
“Life is not about excuses. It's about what you do and play the cards that you’re dealt.”
The Dolphins best heed that advice.
After Ravens crush Miami, are Dolphins’ playoff hopes at stake?
Tagovailoa, despite taking a hit to his throwing shoulder on a fourth-quarter scramble, was healthy enough to address reporters after the game and seems on schedule to complete his fully available season.
Based on the cart, non-contact nature of injury and shellshock in Dolphins players’ voices, Chubb seems unlikely to play next week or in the postseason.
So sure, in a regular-season finale with the AFC East title on the line, Miami won’t be at full saddle. Neither will Buffalo nor any team the Dolphins face in the postseason.
What the franchise needs to do is better adjust to its personnel shifts and better scheme for its available players. Miami did that well in the run game Sunday, when Achane took the lead role in place of the injured Raheem Mostert, Achane contributing a game-high 137 yards and one touchdown.
But Miami’s passing attack was far too inconsistent, as Tagovailoa completed 57.9% of his passes compared to his league-leading 70.5% mark across the season. (For context, 51 quarterbacks who have attempted at least 50 passes have attempted more than 57.9%.)
Baltimore gashed the Dolphins defense for 491 total yards, a season-worst allowance along with the 56-point output.
Sure, as fairly said after the Ravens dismantled the 49ers, most teams cannot attack and maintain pressure at the rate which Baltimore can.
But the Dolphins have dabbled in Super Bowl-contender conversations, and it’s unlikely they’ll be able to reach that goal without besting Baltimore. It’s unlikely they’ll be able to win any remaining regular or postseason game with the suppressed performance all three phases produced Sunday.
“Everything’s still in front of us,” Tagovailoa said, but achieving it will require much more than Miami showed with the chance to clinch the division on the line.
Tagovailoa preached the importance of consistency after the Dolphins played well enough through one quarter to win but not through four.
Then, he tapped into the glass-half-full perspective as he moved forward.
“If you have the perspective of things could be worse – we could not have clinched the playoff berth, we could not have been playing in a game like this that mattered for positioning with the seeding,” Tagovailoa said. “So if you think of it like that, we’re right where we need to be as a team, regardless of the outcome today.
“We’ll be better for it and hopefully get to see these guys again.” | https://www.wdbo.com/news/national/whats-next-dolphins/XC7WHVG4HWAGZHXQNLPWQ3ULU4/ | 2024-01-01T03:05:42Z |

Nicolas Cage is popping up in people's dreams in Dream Scenario — the latest film from A24
/ By Keva YorkPaul Matthews is no one's idea of a dream man. The central character of Kristoffer Borgli's surrealist dramedy is a middle-aged biology professor at a middling university — as played by a Nicolas Cage shucked of all movie star swagger and sporting a hairline long since receded.
Nevertheless, Paul is suddenly cropping up in people's dreams — and not just those of his family members, ex-lovers and students (although, perhaps tellingly, not his wife), but total strangers, too.
To be ported directly into the subconscious of sleeping thousands is a very peculiar way to go viral, as it were, and the mild-mannered professor is ill-equipped for the flow-on effects.
"I think of you, right now, in this moment, Paul, as the most interesting person in the world," a scruffy-hip PR guy (Michael Cera, perfectly cast) tells him.
Paul naively hopes to parlay his new-found fame into an academic book deal; the PR firm wants to use him as a spokesman for Sprite. (Undoubtedly director Borgli, who previously worked in advertising, has endured some pretty dystopian pitch meetings himself, if not the commercialisation of people's dreams.)
Paul bristles at the suggestion that he spruik soda — he cannot know that, by the end of the film, his celebrity status will have brought him far greater indignities.
Dream Scenario tantalises with a metaphysical high-concept premise that harks back to those groundbreaking Charlie Kaufman/Spike Jonze collaborations, Being John Malkovich (1998) and Adaptation (2002) — the latter of which also starred a memorably balding, timid Cage (and netted him an Oscar nomination, what's more).
These are very hard acts to follow.
Borgli does have a flair for the graphic. In the PR firm's boardroom, Paul is seated at the head of the table in front of a feature wall emblazoned with iterations of the start-up's name — Thoughts? Thoughts? Thoughts? — the giant pastel lettering seeming to taunt him, and us.
But the writer-director does not have Kaufman's galaxy brain approach to plot development. Where Kaufman's films are typically (thrillingly) overstuffed, his ideas mushrooming and worm-holing and folding back on themselves, Dream Scenario — which, at 100 minutes, is not a long film — at times feels like a sketch spread thin.
Perhaps it's not thinness but a kind of concision: Both this film and Borgli's previous feature, the devilish Sick of Myself, possess a trendy stylistic minimalism that might be attributed to his being Scandinavian (though he's traded Oslo for LA). It could also be read as being related to the distilled language of, well, advertising.
Cage gives a performance that is by turns subtle, funny, and excruciating (I advise that you steel yourself for his seduction scene with Dylan Gelula), but his character is ultimately less than compelling.
Loading...Certainly, Paul is not meant to be likeable. He is submissive but petty; a coward who privately nurses a sense of self-importance wounded by a consistent dearth of accolades.
Paul need not be likeable… if only he weren't such a bore.
Neither his students nor his own children seem to have much interest in what he has to say; he and wife Janet (Julianne Nicholson) are never invited to the dinner parties hosted by the local culturati.
When he appears in people's dreams, he is increasingly distressed to learn, it's only ever as a mute witness to the main event — a figure of impotence even in the collective unconscious.
Until, that is, he isn't.
When dream-Paul's behaviour suddenly veers scarier and the real-life Paul is vilified for it, the film seems to be mounting a critique of cancel culture.
Paul hasn't actually done anything and yet people shrink from him, blaming him for the actions of avatars he has no control over.
But it's perhaps fear rather than virtue that has kept old Paul's head down: He'll puff himself right up given a receptive audience; he'll stifle his natural timidity given the chance to cheat on his wife.
His behaviour in the dreams of others does in fact reflect aspects of his true personality (albeit in a greatly exaggerated fashion). Because of this, I couldn't be too perturbed by the tide of public opinion turning against him.
Here, as in Adaptation, real life cannot be siloed from its representation; the feedback loop is inescapable.
Being John Malkovich's Craig might prove to be a shallow slimeball, but his passions for both puppetry and for his femme fatale-ish co-worker Maxine are drawn so vividly. One doesn't root for him, but the ending, which finds his consciousness trapped in the body of another, still has the whomp of tragedy.
Dream Scenario too ends with a kind of retreat into the subconscious — but the effect is mitigated by Paul's diffidence, and the essential piddliness of his desires.
