WHITMORE LAKE, Mich.- (FOX 2) - Four people are dead, and two others were injured after a house explosion in Whitemore Lake on Saturday.

The two people who were injured are still hospitalized with severe injuries.
Investigators are still trying to learn what caused the explosion. They ask people to stay out of the area and let the investigators do their work.

The oldest and most prestigious bowl game in college football takes place this week. Alabama will face Michigan in the Rose Bowl, which will be the first game of the College Football Playoff. In this article, we will look at the history of the Rose Bowl and explain how you can watch this year's version of the big game.
When and where is the Rose Bowl?
The Rose Bowl game is played at the Rose Bowl Stadium, which is in Pasadena, California. Kickoff is at 5 p.m. ET on Monday, Jan. 1.
How to watch Alabama vs. Michigan
A number of ESPN channels will broadcast the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Rose Bowl. The game can be found on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, and the SEC Network. You can also live stream the game using fuboTV.

Rose Bowl storylines
Talent trumps all. Although both Alabama and Michigan have had their fair share of question marks and controversies this year, both teams go into the College Football Playoff as two of the hottest and most talented programs in the nation.
Alabama started their season out flat. They lost in Week 2 to Texas, and their first couple of wins were uninspiring. The team even alternated between different quarterbacks to try and find the right guy. Alabama is on fire now, though. They have won 11 straight games, including the SEC Championship Game over Georgia when the Bulldogs were on a historic run.
Jalen Milroe was the quarterback who eventually established himself as the Crimson Tide's guy, and he has been incredible since becoming the full-time starter. Milroe has 35 total touchdowns to go with 2,718 passing yards.
Nick Saban's team always finds success in the postseason, so it wouldn't be a surprise if they overcome Michigan and earn a spot in the National Championship Game. Michigan has a chip on their shoulder as well, though.
The Wolverines are 13-0, and they have done it despite controversies surrounding the program. The team was caught in a sign-stealing scandal, and it resulted in Jim Harbaugh being suspended. That only seemed to rally the Michigan roster, though, and now the Wolverines are one of the scariest teams in the College Football Playoff. They are 0-3 all-time in the College Football Playoff, but they can easily end that losing streak this year.
J.J. McCarthy is the team's quarterback. He has 2,630 passing yards and 22 total touchdowns. Blake Corum is one of the best running backs in the nation. He had 1,028 yards and 24 touchdowns this season.
Michigan also has the best defense in the nation. They only allow 9.46 points per game. Junior Colson has 79 total tackles, Mike Sainristil has five interceptions, and Jaylen Harrell has 6.5 sacks.
Rose Bowl history
The Rose Bowl is considered “The Granddaddy of them all,” and it was the first-ever college football postseason game. It was first played in 1902, and it has been played on an annual basis since 1916.
The Rose Bowl Stadium has been the venue for the Rose Bowl since 1923. Before that, it was played at Tournament Park. Duke Stadium hosted the game in 1942 because of World War II, and the game was played in AT&T Stadium in 2021 because of COVID-19.
Michigan has the second-most Rose Bowl appearances of anybody. They are 8-12 in their 20 times playing in the game. Alabama has played in the Rose Bowl seven times, and they are 5-1-1. The winner of the Rose Bowl receives the Leishman Trophy and advances to the College Football Playoff National Championship game. | https://clutchpoints.com/alabama-vs-michigan-how-to-watch-cfp-semifinal-rose-bowl | 2024-01-01T03:14:33Z |

It’s not often you hear about the offensive line coach. And like an offensive lineman, when you do, it’s often for the wrong reasons. But after a 202-yard rushing performance as the Pittsburgh Steelers used a ground attack to knock off the Seattle Seahawks, OL Coach Pat Meyer received a shoutout for a plan that worked to perfection.
Speaking to FOX sideline reporter Shannon Spake after a 30-23 win, QB Mason Rudolph gave Meyer a hearty mention.
“Pat Meyer did a great job all week,” Rudolph told Spake. “Run checks. He’s a professional. So happy for [the o-line]. We talked about that; it’s not always going to be the pass game. And we rode the wave.
Pittsburgh ran early, often, and with plenty of success. By game’s end, the Steelers had racked up 202 yards on the ground with three rushing scores. Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren ran angry and with plenty of power, a whole highlight reel of Angry Runs between the two alone, but the line got the party started with a consistent push up front.
Rookie right tackle Broderick Jones played as angry as anyone, setting the tone early with this monster block on Seahawks DB Julian Love, sending him to the ground and diving on top.
But it was a total team effort to get the job done. For the second straight week, the Steelers were the more physical team and consistently won the line of scrimmage. It allowed them to control the tempo, having the ball for more than 37 minutes and out-snapping the Seahawks, 71-49. A stark contrast to most games Pittsburgh’s played this year.
In his second season as o-line coach, Meyer’s units have had their ups and downs as the Steelers have consistently re-tooled their lineup. But in 2022 and 2023, his groups have finished much stronger than how they started, especially with their run blocking. Pittsburgh’s ground game sputtered for the first half of the season, injuries playing a role but not a viable excuse, but got on track starting in the team’s Week 9 win over the Tennessee Titans. That coincided with Jones’ first career start.
While the run game waned during the Steelers’ losing streak, invisible in losses to the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts, it found new life the last two games with wins over the Bengals and Seahawks. Crucial to their victory, the Steelers win when they impose their will, an old-school nature in this modern world.
Meyer’s job can be debated. His pass sets are aggressive, and he asks plenty out of his center in pass protection. To his credit, he’s a teacher and instructor and not someone who yells and screams or needs players to execute his technique to a “T.” With so much turnover in recent years — he’s the team’s third o-line coach in four years — odds are good that the Steelers will keep him in 2024. They’ll add the finishing pieces to the unit in the hopes of making it an elite group next season. | https://steelersdepot.com/2023/12/steelers-ol-coach-pat-meyer-credited-for-winning-gameplan-against-seahawkssteelers-ol-coach-pat-meyer-credited-for-winning-game-plan-against-seahawks/ | 2024-01-01T03:14:39Z |
The wrestling world is in mourning after the death of cult hero Masashi Ozawa, also known as Killer Khan, at age 76.
New Japan Pro Wrestling reports Ozawa collapsed in his bar in Tokyo last week. He was taken to hospital but died after suffering a ruptured artery.
Ozawa began his wrestling career in 1971 in Japan, but rose to prominence in the 1980s when he was signed by the WWE.
Watch the latest sport on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >>
He was involved in a number of high-profile fights against legends such as Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan.
After his career in the ring, Ozawa opened several restaurants and bars in Japan and also had a cameo in martial arts movie 3 Ninjas Kick Back.
The WWE paid tribute to Ozawa in a statement.
“The Japanese-born competitor was an imposing figure in the ring and highlighted his career with memorable rivalries against Legends such as Bob Backlund, Pedro Morales, Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan and more,” it said.
“After a brief return to WWE in 1987 with Mr. Fuji as his manager, Killer Khan would retire from sports-entertainment.
“WWE extends its condolences to Ozawa’s family, friends and fans.”
The news of Ozawa’s death came just 24 hours after rising UK star Kurtis Chapman died at 26.
“We at Revolution Pro Wrestling are absolutely heartbroken to report the loss of our dear friend Kurtis Chapman,” his promoters said in a statement.
“We watched Kurtis grow from a child to a young man who loved professional wrestling and continued to excel in all aspects of his life.
“One of the most gifted technical wrestlers, charismatic characters and magnetic personalities. He will never be forgotten.”

The Los Angeles Angels are recovering from the departure of highly coveted superstar Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani left for the Dodgers in December of 2023 during the height of MLB Free Agency. Nevertheless, LA is closing in a deal with Cleveland Guardians pitcher Zac Plesac.
Los Angeles looks to bolster their pitching attack as they inch toward a deal with a reliable AL pitcher
Free-agent pitcher Zac Plesac and the Angels are close to a contract agreement, per MLB Insider Robert Murray. The Guardians selected Plesac in the twelfth round of the 2016 MLB Draft. Plesac has spent a significant amount of his time in the Triple-A class of the Minor League Baseball Association.
The 28-yeard has not quite been the starting pitcher Cleveland imagined he would grow into, but he still has the opportunity to improve. In 2023, Plesac threw 14 strikeouts, had a W-L of 1-1, an ERA of 7.59, and notched an average WHIP of 1.97 in five major league games.
If everything pans out, Plesac will help a struggling Angels team.
Los Angeles finished 2023 with a 79-89 record and was the second-to-worst team in the AL West. The Angels had Shohei Ohtani on their side; however, he alone was not enough for the team to make the playoffs.
The Angels are expecting Mike Trout to make an efficient return from his injury, which should bolster their competitiveness. Moreover, LA still has the services of Reid Detmers, who threw 134 strikeouts in 2023 (ranked 34th in the league). Still, Los Angeles must continue to improve their roster.
As MLB Free Agency progresses, will Zac Plesac and the Angels finalize a deal? If so, can the 28-year-old revive his career in the major leagues with LA? | https://clutchpoints.com/angels-news-la-inches-closer-deal-intriguing-starter-shohei-ohtani-departure | 2024-01-01T03:14:41Z |

Following each game in the 2023 Steelers season I will once again be giving my 10 takes. These aren’t going to be hot takes that are meant to shock the world. They will be instant reactions to the game written while still in that period just following the game when the emotions are high, and the ideas are fresh. Included will be thoughts, observations, queries, and reasons that caused me to yell at the television.
Week 17 vs Seattle Seahawks
1. Happy Day- This season has been a rollercoaster with more dips than inclines. The last two weeks have been like a new season. I’m happy they are winning. Happy the games are enjoyable to watch. Happy for Najee Harris, who was one of the first players to voice his displeasures and is running well. I’m happy the receivers have a chance to make a difference in games. I’m happy for competent quarterback play. I’m happy there was no mention of past offensive coordinators today. I’m happy a patchwork defense is holding it together. We shall see what next week brings but for now let’s enjoy this.
2. New Beliefs– I’m not sure you all knew this, but it is okay for the Steelers to not only score 30 points but do it in consecutive weeks. The question was out there. Can a new quarterback make a difference? Two weeks ago, I would not have believed it, but the proof is in the pudding. There is newfound confidence in this offense. No more slumped shoulders from receivers. There is new energy to the defense. More aggressiveness overall and better tackling by the defensive backs. Probably because they don’t have to carry the team and be on the field all the time. I actually believe this team could be competitive in a playoff game. Two weeks ago, not a chance. I am a believer now.
3. Year Comes Down to This – A seemingly yearly occurrence. The Steelers’ season comes down to the final week of the season. Most games come down to the final drive, but they have spared us that angst-inducing scenario for a couple weeks. They need teams to lose, and they need to win at Baltimore next week. With Baltimore clinching the No. 1 seed, it will probably rest some starters. So, you’re saying there’s a chance? No one agrees with everything the organization or coaches do, but they do give the team a chance to make the playoffs yearly. Once there, anything can happen. I can tell you this: this two-week version of the Steelers we have seen would make some playoff teams nervous.
4. Angry Running – It began on the second drive. Fourteen plays, 80 yards to pay dirt. Seven of those plays were runs by Najee Harris or Jaylen Warren. They gained 57 yards on that drive and had 141 in the first half on 20 carries. The offensive line was consistent all game. Warren stiff armed Boye Mafe and Devon Witherspoon on separate plays. Harris later put Tariq Woolen on his back with a stiff arm of his own. Call it what you like. Old school. Smashmouth. Bully ball. Whatever you call it, it worked. This was the identity the Steelers wanted and could be successful. But did it come too late?
5. So That’s Where They Got the Title – Most position titles are easy to understand. The receiver receives the ball. The kicker kicks the ball. The center is in the middle of the line. The guards protect the quarterback. The tackles…well, they tackle the Steelers’ edge rushers. Some games, it’s more evident than others. T.J. Watt has been vocal about getting held and not getting the calls. The Seahawks were just straight up taking down the pass rushers to save their quarterback. The referees can’t call it every play because it slows the game to a ridiculous level. But if a defender is tackled into the quarterback you have to call that one.
6. Herbig Man on Campus – With Watt and Alex Highsmith in front of him Nick Herbig doesn’t get a lot of snaps on defense. What he does do is make the most of those snaps. As the season has progressed, he has gotten better and better. Undersized coming into the NFL, there was a question whether he could hold up on the edge against the run. Not only can he set the edge, but he gets off the blocks to make plays. His sack in this game, his third of the year, came at the most opportune time causing a fumble that he also recovered. The dude makes plays.
7. Practice Squad Changes – A few years ago there were a couple changes in the rules that pertained to the practice squad. The NFL expanded it to 16 players and allowed veterans to be on the squad. The Steelers may have been in even bigger trouble this year without those changes. In two games, Eric Rowe has 17 tackles, 12 solo. He had an interception last week and a tackle for a loss this week. He is a sure, physical tackler and has made the absence of Minkah Fitzpatrick bearable. Without those roster changes the Steelers would be running young players out there and the results would most likely be very different.
8. New Jack Hustler – Like Rowe, Myles Jack was another guy they added via the practice squad. His first run with the team did not end like we all hoped due to an injury that slowed him severely late in the season. He still had over 100 tackles last season. This season he is healthy and looks like a different player. He was shooting downhill and attacking gaps from the first drive. Fourteen tackles, 10 solo, a sack, tackle for a loss and two quarterback hits in two games. Bringing in a guy who knew the defense has made the transition seamless. Omar Khan needs to get his credit for these midseason additions.
9. Some Take Criticism Well – Players receive criticism. Some are warranted, some are not. Recently Pat Freiermuth received some not-so-kind comments about his blocking. And to be honest, those comments were not unfounded. He has put in more effort in recent weeks. He has been better and that is great to see. There is competition as well. Darnell Washington is a good blocker and Rodney Williams has done his part too. Since Week Five he has received offensive snaps and has done a solid job as a blocker. Freiermuth has one year left on his contract and has not consistently been the blocker or receiver the Steelers hoped he would be. He is putting in the effort and realizes there is room to get better.
10. No – That was the answer Kenny Pickett had after last week’s game to the question about seeing the game from a different perspective. Did he, “see anything different, learn anything…take lessons from it?” Here’s my perspective. If you think you’re the smartest person in the room (or on the field), you’re in the wrong place. There is always a chance to learn and get better. The best players are always taking advantage of scenarios to try to get better even if that entails standing on the sideline.
Even if he thinks he didn’t learn anything, he should have given a BS answer about taking a step back and seeing the bigger picture. Is Pickett angry he’s not playing? Probably. But smiling and giving a vague answer is part of being a professional. That was not a good look for him. | https://steelersdepot.com/2023/12/toms-ten-takes-steelers-vs-seahawks-4/ | 2024-01-01T03:14:46Z |
The Arizona State Sun Devils take on the Cal Golden Bears. Check out our college basketball odds series for our Arizona State Cal prediction and pick. Find how to watch Arizona State Cal.
The Arizona State Sun Devils have had a knack for fighting back this season. It doesn't look pretty, and the reality of fighting back means that ASU has often been playing from behind this season, but it does show that the Sun Devils have a measure of resilience. Arizona State trailed Stanford by eight points midway through the second half of Friday night's road game in the Bay Area, but the Devils would not stop. They continued to pressure Stanford at the defensive end of the floor and were able to grab a richly satisfying 76-73 win over the Cardinal. ASU was a 5.5-point underdog in the game and was in a good position to cover the spread in the final minutes of regulation, but the Devils did even better and won on the money line.
ASU is a slight underdog at Cal on Sunday. That might come as a surprise to many, but one thing to keep in mind about the Golden Bears is that they have a first-year head coach, Mark Madsen, who is viewed as a rising star in the coaching ranks and is seen as someone who will make Cal better. To a certain extent this season, he already has. Cal was good enough to take San Diego State to overtime. Cal has been competitive this season and has not been blown out with the regularity of last season's woeful team under since-fired head coach Mark Fox. Cal is better. We'll see how much better against ASU on Sunday night in Berkeley.
Here are the Arizona State-Cal College Basketball odds, courtesy of FanDuel.
College Basketball Odds: Arizona State-Cal Odds
Arizona State Sun Devils: +3.5 (-110)
Cal Golden Bears: -3.5 (-110)

Why Arizona State Could Cover the Spread
The Sun Devils might not always win, but they play close games. They might fall behind opponents, but they rally. They trailed UMass-Lowell by 10 late in the second half and won. They trailed SMU by double digits late in the second half and won. This is not a good offensive team, but coach Bobby Hurley preaches toughness, defense and rebounding. This is a “try hard” team which regularly puts forth good effort. Arizona State is a team which is rarely going to blow out opponents, and will rarely get blown out. Defense keeps this team in games, so with Cal being a 3.5-point favorite, ASU losing by only one basket seems like a really good and realistic scenario.
Why Cal Could Cover the Spread
The Cal Golden Bears got trounced by Arizona on Friday. That might seem like a reason to pick against Cal, but the other way to look at the game is that playing Arizona — a possible No. 1 seed in the 2024 NCAA Tournament — could sharpen up the Golden Bears for this game and have them supremely prepared for ASU, a much less talented and capable opponent. It could all work to Cal's benefit here.
Final Arizona State-Cal Prediction & Pick
This is a great game to stay away from. You might lean ASU, but don't make this a huge play if you do.

James Tobin has starred on Sunrise since 2008 — but the TV presenter proved he still has some tricks up his sleeve on Monday by sharing his hula hooping talent with viewers.
The skill came to light as James was presenting the weather on Sydney’s famous Bondi Beach for New Year’s Day, when a woman hula hooping across the sand caught his eye.

“You know that expression dance like nobody’s watching? Well, this is one step better — hula hooping,” James said, as he strode up to the woman on the beach.
“We’re impressed by the way you are starting 2024,” James said to her.
The hula hooper, named Anita, appeared somewhat startled by the weather presenter.
“Sorry, what did you say?” she said, taking out her AirPods.
Anita then introduced herself, saying she was an instructor and was hula hooping to start the year “strong” and “powerful”.
Anita then offered James a go, an opportunity he jumped at, with Anita proceeding to give him an impromptu lesson.
“It’s not the circle move (like everyone thinks),” she said.
“(It’s) side-to-side or back-to-front.”
James immediately impressed Anita and the Sunrise panel as he managed to keep the hoop on his hips.
“You got it,” Anita said to him.
“Salutations to the sun for New Year!” James shot back.
Finishing the segment, Anita hula hooped away from James.
“Look at that! Graceful! That’s how a professional does it,” James said.
It comes after James revealed personal news in October, announcing he was engaged to long-time partner Farrah in a sweet Instagram post.
“A bit of news … we’re getting married. A lot of my life is lived out on TV, but I’ve also kept some things private because, well, not everything needs to be out there,” he wrote.
“I’m thrilled to tell you I asked Farrah to marry me and she said ‘yes’.
“For those who don’t know Farrah, she’s a ray of sunshine in this world.
“She’s brilliant and beautiful, funny and clever, a kind heart who saves lives and runs ultra marathons in her spare time.
“The last couple of years of our relationship have been long distance while Farrah has been in Perth completing a fellowship in interventional cardiology and I couldn’t be prouder of her,” James said.
“Finally she’s coming home to our little place and we’re looking forward to starting the next chapter of our lives together. I’m the happiest man alive,” he ended his post.

The Chicago Bears have actually looked great these last several weeks. And to add a little cherry on top, the franchise just clinched the No. 1 pick overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. All thanks to the Carolina Panthers after they couldn't. get it done against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17.
Carolina virtually had no chance on Sunday, as they lost 26-0. I mean, the Panthers have just been a complete mess this season. It's not an ideal situation for them at all, as the Bears own their first-round pick.
As for Chicago, this is the best-case scenario. That initial trade that gave the Bears this draft pick was an absolute fleece job from general manager, Ryan Poles. Not only will this franchise have the top pick overall, but they also managed to steal DJ Moore away from Carolina. This might go down as the best trade in franchise history for the Bears.
Chicago has a plethora of options on the table. Thanks to Justin Fields coming alive this season, the front office will have a tough decision to make this offseason. They could opt to keep Fields and use the top pick on a non-quarterback. Or, they could trade Fields and draft the projected top player in Caleb Williams. The Bears could also trade the No. 1 pick overall for another haul if they want.
This is just a great problem to have if you're Chicago. Although this team has been a roller coaster in recent years. Even this season has been up and down. But the future is wildly bright as the Bears can pretty much build their team however they want. Oh, and did I mention they're projected to have over $60 million in cap space? This is going to be a fun offseason for Chicago. | https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-chicago-clinches-no-1-pick-2024-nfl-draft-panthers-loss-jaguars | 2024-01-01T03:14:54Z |

Sunrise star Katie Brown has revealed she suffered a kitchen disaster while spending time with her boyfriend’s family over Christmas.
Brown said she “stuffed up” while making her “legendary” potato bake for her boyfriend Jack Hooks and his family.

Brown made the confession on the Sunrise desk, with co-host Monique Wright revealing potato bake was a sensitive topic in the newsroom.
“I had one job and I know I can nail potato bake, but this Christmas was quite sensitive,” Brown said.
“I had to make it for my partner’s family and extended family ... I failed.
“After three hours of baking it, it was still hard.
“I overthought the process and I stuffed it up.”
Although co-host Wright said the potato bake is usually “legendary”, Brown said the “stuff up” was so bad that she would never cook again.
“I’m never cooking again,” she said.
“(Now) let’s move on to cricket, something else I’m bad at on Christmas Day.”
Brown usually keeps her private life off social media, but gave fans an insight into her relationship with boyfriend Jack Hooks when the couple took a trip to regional NSW in October last year.
“The best surprise birthday adventure. We had lots of time to really get to know each other,” she posted on Instagram, alongside cute couple photos.

A Chicago Bears offense that has struggled to achieve much consistency this season is dealing with another troubling update ahead of the team's Week 17 home game against the Atlanta Falcons, this time concerning TE Cole Kmet.
Kmet, the team's second-leading receiver this season, seemed to be trending in the wrong direction on Sunday morning as he deals with a knee injury. Despite only practicing on Friday during the week and carrying a questionable designation, Kmet was expected to suit up.
But he was deemed a game-time decision, and will test the knee in pregame warmups before a decision is made, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Ultimately, Kmet is expected to play despite the perceived setback in status.
Bears hold breath on Kmet's status
The fourth-year player out of Notre Dame is coming off the best game of his career, despite missing the second half of the game.
He had four catches for 107 yards against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16, producing his longest catch (53 yards) of the season in that contest before leaving with a knee injury late in the first half.
Kmet currently ranks second on the Bears in receptions (70), yards (678), touchdowns (six), and targets (86).
Even worse is that Chicago will already be without their leading receiver for this matchup. Wide receiver Darnell Mooney will not suit up against the Falcons as he remains in the NFL's concussion protocol.
If Kmet is ultimately unable to go, it will leave quarterback Justin Fields in an unenviable position. The Bears will be going up against the Falcons' pass defense, ranked eighth-best in the NFL by passing yards allowed per game, without his two favorite weapons. | https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-cole-kmet-overcomes-game-time-decision-suit-up-week-17-knee-injury | 2024-01-01T03:15:00Z |

Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears are a much better team as they head into their Week 18 game against the Green Bay Packers than they were at the start of the season. They rolled over the Atlanta Falcons 37-17 Sunday as the quarterback threw for 268 yards and a touchdown and led the team with a razor-sharp effort.
"I'm gonna remember this for the rest of my life."
– Justin Fields talking to @Amanda_Balionis about hearing WE WANT FIELDS chants raining down from @ChicagoBears fans pic.twitter.com/OOXgKEIfBQ
— NFL on CBS 🏈 (@NFLonCBS) December 31, 2023
Fields has been the subject of much speculation as his third season with the Bears nears its conclusion. Since Chicago has been a losing team throughout his tenure, many expect the Bears to part company with Fields and use the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to select a new quarterback. However, the fans at Soldier Field showed their appreciation for Fields after the game, serenading the quarterback with a “We want Fields” chant.
The quarterback was interviewed on the CBS postgame show at the time, and he told interviewer Amanda Balionis that he would remember the moment of support from the fans for the rest of his life.
The Bears improved their record to 7-9 with the triumph over the Falcons. After starting the season with an 0-4 record, Chicago has won 7 of its next 12 games.
Justin Fields completed 20 of 32 passes and 1 of those was a brilliant 7-yard TD pass to wide receiver D.J. Moore in the first quarter. Fields has been criticized for a lack of accuracy throughout his career, but that was not the case against the Falcons.
In addition, he showed off his immense running skills by carrying the ball 11 times for 45 yards and a 9-yard TD run. | https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-justin-fields-reacts-to-fans-chanting-for-him-after-big-win-over-falcons | 2024-01-01T03:15:06Z |
Monique Wright is beloved for her bubbly personality.
But the Sunrise star gave a look at her spicy side on Monday, when she was caught playfully ribbing co-star James Tobin for his outfit choice.
WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Sunrise host Monique Wright ribs James Tobin for fashion choice.

Monique was initially called out by co-host Matt Doran, when she compared James’s grey striped shirt to the iconic pyjamas worn by B1 and B2 in the kids’ show, Bananas in Pyjamas.
“Mon, you have broken a new year’s resolution already! She vowed to be nicer but she’s asking if you’re wearing a Bananas In Pyjamas top,” Matt told James, during a live cross.
Matt proceeded to hold-up the Sunrise run sheet, with the question written on it.
But Mon quickly clarified she thought James looked great in the shirt.
“JT, it is the best looking Bananas in Pyjamas outfit I have ever seen,” Mon said.
“You can rock that like nobody else!” she added.
James took the joke in stride, saying he was “No.1”, as he replied to Mon and Matt.
“That’s a fair assessment,” he shot back.
“You’re our favourite, B3,” Mon replied.
Bananas in Pyjamas is a children’s TV show that first aired in 1992. The characters, B1 and B2, are known for their blue-and-white striped pyjamas.
Mon went on to say how “gorgeous” James is — even in his somewhat questionable shirt — with Matt taking the opportunity to poke fun at her.
“Sounds like you’re making up for lost ground now,” Matt joked.
“You will have to call him privately.”

Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket with Egyptsat-A satellite blasts off from Baikonur spaceport
08:12, 22 February 2019
MOSCOW. KAZINFORM The Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket with the Egyptsat-A satellite has been launched from the Baikonur spaceport, a space industry official told TASS on Thursday.
"The launch of the Soyuz-2.1b space rocket with an Egyptsat-A spacecraft was carried out from the Baikonur spaceport," the source said.
Nine minutes after the launch, the Fregat upper stage and the Egyptian satellite are scheduled to separate from the third stage, after which the satellite will be put to the designated orbit, TASS reports.
The Egyptian satellite was expected to be launched on November 22, 2018, however, the launch was rescheduled multiple times.
The EgyptSat-A Earth's remote sensing satellite was developed by the Russian Energia Space Rocket Corporation instead of the EgyptSat-2 vehicle that went out of order in 2015. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/soyuz-2-1b-carrier-rocket-with-egyptsat-a-satellite-blasts-off-from-baikonur-spaceport_a3500843/ | 2024-01-01T03:15:10Z |
Let me tell ya what, and I promise you I speak for all Chicago Bears fans out there, I'm getting really (expletive) tired of watching Justin Fields take off and run, give himself up with a slide, take what is clearly a late hit that should be penalized, only for a complete and total lack of penalty flags to appear. It happens what seems to be every single week, and I can't recall an instance all year when the officials actually did what so many football fans complain they do too much… protect the damn quarterback.
Every. Single. Week. pic.twitter.com/dj0fPq8ZR6
— Adam Hoge (@AdamHoge) December 31, 2023
That's right, Hoge. It's every single week, and if I were the one who was tweeting about it, lord knows I would've thrown an expletive in there that starts with an “F” right before the word “week.” I mean, seriously guys, what's going on here? I understand it's not a good look to complain about officiating, and in no way am I suggesting that officials are colluding against the Bears or trying to get Justin Fields hurt… but I am suggesting large-scale incompetence from multiple officiating crews, which shouldn't necessarily be considered a “hot take” given what we saw happen in Dallas last night.
In what could be his final home game as a member of the Chicago Bears, Justin Fields has made a solid closing argument to return in 2024. With the Bears having clinched the #1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft thanks to the Carolina Panthers, general manager Ryan Poles will have a choice to either use that #1 pick to select the next QB1 in Chicago, or run it back with Fields, an emerging roster, a boatload of cap space, and whatever sort of bounty he can get in return for that #1 pick. | https://clutchpoints.com/bears-qb-justin-fields-victim-of-yet-another-missed-call-after-getting-crushed-late-by-2-falcons | 2024-01-01T03:15:12Z |
Quo Vadis
Dec 25, 2023
In this video we share Our Lady's Message to Medjugorje Visionary Marija for December 25, 2023.
Please like, share and subscribe to assist me in sharing these messages to a wider audience.
Here is the monthly message of Our Lady:
“Dear children!
I am carrying my Son Jesus to you to fill your hearts with peace, because He is peace.
Little children, seek Jesus in the silence of your heart that He be born anew.
The world needs Jesus, therefore seek Him through prayer, because He gives Himself daily to each of you.''
Today Our Lady came solemnly dressed with little Jesus in her arms. Jesus extended His hand in a sign of blessing as Our Lady prayed over us in Aramaic.
Marija is the third oldest of the visionaries.
She was born on April 1, 1965, in Bijakovici.
Her prayer mission given by Our Lady is to pray for all the souls in purgatory.
Our Lady appeared to her for the first time on June 25, 1981.
She still has apparitions every day, and is the visionary to whom Our Lady gives the public message to the world on the 25th of each month.
Our Lady has confided nine secrets to her so far.
Maria is presently living in Italy, is married and has four children.
She visits Medjugorje a number of times each year.
There will be two messages that will be disseminated on the holy day of Christmas.
In addition to the monthly message of the 25th of the month to visionary Marija, the Madonna will also appear to visionary Jakov Colo for his annual apparition.

Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) [India], January 1 (ANI): Weeks ahead of the grand consecration of Ram Mandir in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya, a racket is allegedly defrauding people in the guise of collecting donations to support the construction of the temple.
This scam has prompted the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) to approach Uttar Pradesh police. The VHP has also issued a warning on social media, asking people not to fall prey to the scam.
"Alert..!! Some individuals are attempting fraud by creating fake IDs in the name of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirth Kshetra to deceive people. @HMOIndia @CPDelhi @dgpup @Uppolice should take prompt action against such individuals," VHP's National Spokesperson Vinod Bansal said in a post on X on Sunday.

"Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Nyas has not authorized anyone to collect funds for this occasion. We have sent the formal complaint to the @dgpup and @Igrangelucknow to take immediate steps in the matter of faith," he added.
The VHP spokesperson also issued a video message, claiming that they had been informed about the racket trying to loot devotees in the name of donations for the temple.
"We have been informed that some people are trying to collect money through social media by creating a fake ID in the name of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra and generating a fake QR code," Bansal said in the video message.
"Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra has not given anyone any right to collect money in any way. And those who are making such efforts want to cheat people in a fraudulent manner, and action should be taken against them. For this, I have immediately informed the Ministry of Home Affairs, DGP Uttar Pradesh, and the Delhi Commissioner of Police and demanded that the strictest action be taken against such people. And people should also be careful. This is a time of celebration, and we are going to give invitations and not accept any donation or gift of any kind," he added.
According to the VHP, a miscreant identified as Abhishek Kumar sought funds for Ayodhya Temple Development on social media.
"He has posted the UPI QR codes in Facebook groups with the line 'Ram Mandir Ayodhya Chanda pradarshan Karen.' On scanning the QR Code, UPI will direct the user to UPI ID '9040914736@Paytm' with the name Manisha Nallabelly," Girish Bhardwaj, a VHP member said in a letter to the Uttar Pradesh DGP and IG.
He further mentioned in the letter that the Shri Ram Janmbhumi Teerth Kshetra Trust has clarified many times that no private person or people are authorized to collect funds for the temple.
Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra is a trust set that has been given the responsibility of the construction and management of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
"There seems to be a malicious motive to deceive unsuspecting devotees and use social media to collect money illegally. At a time when the entire nation is rejoicing over the Ram Temple inauguration, such preposterous activities should be nipped in the bud. I have attached screenshots for your reference. Please do the needful in this regard," Bhardwaj added in his letter. (ANI)

Spanish scientists create early cystic fibrosis diagnostic smart patch
15:22, 24 February 2019
MADRID. KAZINFORM A team of Spanish researchers unveiled on Friday an award-winning self-powered, wearable, smart patch for early medical diagnosis of cystic fibrosis - a progressive genetic disease that primarily affects the lungs - becoming one of the latest innovations of digitally powered wearable technology.
The smart-patch, created by a team from Spain's National Research Council (CSIC), is one of the latest products to be launched in the Internet of Wearables (IoW) sector, devices composed of flexible smart transducers attached around the human body that are able to communicate wirelessly, EFE reports. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/spanish-scientists-create-early-cystic-fibrosis-diagnostic-smart-patch_a3501484/ | 2024-01-01T03:15:16Z |
There's no love lost between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs. That was evident throughout the week leading up to this game. It boiled over on Sunday when Ja'Marr Chase and L'Jarius Sneed got into a little tiff on the field.
The two began exchanging words then it developed into a shoving match. Teammates from both the Bengals and Chiefs swarmed the altercation and referees settled it down rather quickly. Regardless, both Chase and Sneed received a penalty for the incident.
A scuffle breaks out between the Chiefs and Bengals after L'Jarius Sneed and Ja'Marr Chase get into it 👀pic.twitter.com/j0lAEyU62a
— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) December 31, 2023
It's nice to see the referees not eject anybody out of the game. There really wasn't much in the little scuffle. Additionally, it died down nearly quickly as it started. The penalty flags made sense, but there certainly wasn't enough to kick anyone out of the game.
The Bengals' star receiver had some choice words about the Chiefs' defense. Specifically the secondary. During an interview in the locker room, Chase claimed that nobody in Kansas City really impresses him. So, it makes sense why Sneed decided to get in his face during the game.
Ja’Marr Chase had quite the edge after practice today addressing reporters. Said Chiefs don’t have anyone that stands out on defense. “It’s not really like have a Jalen Ramsey on their squad.” pic.twitter.com/1kurBwcOLF
— Mike Petraglia (@Trags) December 28, 2023
The Bengals and Chiefs have turned into one of the NFL's most entertaining rivalries. With Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes on each roster, we should expect to see these two teams at each other's throats often. Especially if Ja'Marr Chase is going to talk trash like he did leading up to this game.
With that said, this game is one to keep an eye on. Playoff hopes are involved, so tensions are higher than normal. If the Bengals can earn a win over the Chiefs, they'll be in a prime position to potentially make the postseason as a wild card team. For Kansas City, they need a win to increase their chances of clinching the AFC West. | https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-jamarr-chase-gets-into-it-with-chiefs-ljarius-sneed | 2024-01-01T03:15:18Z |

Spots in Belarus, Kazakhstan named CIS most romantic sites
14:09, 14 February 2019
MINSK. KAZINFORM - The Trinity Suburb in Minsk has topped the ranking of the most romantic places and tourist attractions in the Commonwealth of Independent States, BelTA learned from the Russian think tank TurStat.
The Trinity Suburb scored 27% of votes. It is followed by the mountain of Kok Tobe in Almaty (23%), Baiterek Tower in Astana (20%), Maiden Tower in Baku (15%), and Tashkent Television Tower (8%).
The ranking is based on an online survey of Russian tourists, Kazinform has learnt from BelTA. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/spots-in-belarus-kazakhstan-named-cis-most-romantic-sites_a3498226/ | 2024-01-01T03:15:23Z |
Games between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals over the last few years have been must-watch TV. Ever since their fateful 2021 clash in Cincinnati, the two teams have been rivals vying for the AFC crown. The two teams have traded AFC titles, with Cincinnati winning in 2021 before KC delivered sweet revenge in 2022.
This year, though, the annual Chiefs-Bengals clash is slightly less exciting. Joe Burrow, the Bengals' star quarterback, is done for the year with a wrist injury. Meanwhile, the Chiefs haven't been quite as good as they were last season. At the very least, though, the smack talk is still there, and so are some of the stars. Ja'Marr Chase, Cincinnati's top receiver, is likely a go for Week 17 against their rivals, per Ian Rapoport.
“#Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) participated in Saturday's walk-through and is likely to play today after missing just one game, source said. He talked this week like a player making his return.”
Chase made the headlines once again after the Bengals star took a shot at the Chiefs defense. In an interview, the star wide receiver was asked about what makes Kansas City's defense special. Chase's answer was… not exactly flattering, to say the least.
““If I’m being honest, nothing,” Chase said. “They just know how to play us (Bengals). They know the leverages, they know what splits we in, they just know what we gonna do at certain moments. They throw a little double-doubles at us and stop the two best players on the outside, and that’s all they do. I mean, it’s not really like have a Jalen Ramsey on their squad.””
The Bengals are rolling into their game against the Chiefs with Jake Browning at the helm. Browning had a stellar start to his NFL career, but he was given a sobering dash of reality by the Pittsburgh Steelers. There's already some bad blood with the Chiefs and Bengals from the leadup to the AFC Championship Game last season. Now, this rivalry will likely grow more horns. Can Chase walk his talk against a defense that's been propping up an awful offense all year long? | https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-jamarr-chase-play-chiefs-trash-talk-week-17 | 2024-01-01T03:15:24Z |

The Cincinnati Bengals are fighting for their playoff lives against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. However, that'll be much more difficult for the Bengals without Tee Higgins on the field.
Higgins left the game with a hamstring injury. His return has been deemed questionable, via Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The star wide receiver went down in the second quarter and was seen on the sidelines shortly after. Before suffering his injury, Higgins had caught one pass for 19 yards. Higgins has a history with hamstring injuries, which could lead Cincinnati to be cautious. But losing Higgins for any amount of time would be devastating for their offense.
Heading into Week 17, Higgins ranked second on the Bengals with 637 yards and five touchdowns. While Ja'Marr Chase has emerged as Cincinnati's WR1, Higgins plays a key role in the passing game. If teams want to double Chase, Higgins will make them pay.
Unfortunately, that strategy won't be of any use against the Chiefs as long as Higgins is on the sideline. At 8-7, Cincinnati's Wild Card dreams likely won't be able to withstand a loss. The Bengals understand the seriousness of their matchup and hold a 17-7 lead of the Chiefs with just over six minutes until halftime.
The Bengals have been bitten by the injury bug hard this season. Star quarterback Joe Burrow's season-ending injury dampened everything Cincinnati is trying to do on offense. Jake Browning has been filling in admirably and has the Bengals in playoffs' reach.
But an injury to Tee Higgins could be the final straw that breaks the offense's back. They'll hope Higgins can make a return against the Chiefs with a win being paramount with or without him. | https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-tee-higgins-hamstring-injury-chiefs | 2024-01-01T03:15:31Z |

Company claims acceleration speeds faster than Tesla cars and Porsche's EVs
Major electronics retailers in the UAE say that the first lot of the iPhone 15 has been sold out within a few days of its launch as demand has exceeded forecasts and expectations for the latest model. Some retailers said the demand for iPhone 15 doubled compared to Apple's previous prized device.
Apple's new iPhones went on sale on September 22 in the UAE at the US technology giant's outlets in The Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Mall. Thousands of people turned up to buy the new gadgets, with many buying for their entire family.
Vikas Chadha, CEO of Jumbo Group, said the initial demand has been quite strong. "We have seen an exponential double-digit uplift in pre-order numbers over the last year. The launch is a shot in the arm of technology retailers and will boost sales this quarter. As anticipated, iPhone 15 Pro Max is in high demand because of its aerospace-grade Titanium construction," he said.
Thanking Jumbo's loyal customers, Chadha confirmed that the first lot of the supply has been sold out. "Traditionally also we witness frenzied interest from customers during Apple smartphone launches. Our guaranteed buy-back programme, zero per cent instalment plans, trade-ins, and discounts on Apple accessories also help the sales."
Apple launched iPhone 15, Pro and Pro Max in the UAE with prices starting from Dh3,399 and going up to Dh6,799.
In a reply to a query about a shortage of iPhone 15, he stated that there is a constraint, but this is usually the case during the initial phase of iPhone launches. "We will get more supplies weekly from the manufacturer, and that should help tide over this phase."
Echoing Vikas Chadha's comments, Rajat Asthana, COO of Eros Group, said the initial response is very good, and it is likely that the new iPhone variant will do better than the previous model.
"The bookings also seem to be good. But, like always, there is a limited release of stocks for the launch. Some stocks of iPhone 15 are expected to be coming from India factory, though the majority will come from China."
Asthana added that the iPhone 15 Pro is taking the lion's share of the pre-bookings. "Overall, the smartphone market has been good, and sales have been holding well in the UAE market. The premium end of smartphones has been performing better than other segments in retail sales.
He further added that another strong factor is that UAE prices are one of the lowest as compared to many markets, including India. "A Rs38,000 difference in iPhone 15 Pro price as compared to India is a significant difference."
Muddassir Ahmad, CEO of ECity Electronics, said the new variant proved yet again that iPhone demand is very good.
"We see a demand surge of more than 100 per cent year-on-year. The iPhone Pro series sees higher traction because Titanium colours are high in demand. We still carry limited stocks," said Ahmad.
"We are running car, plus iPhone and TV bundle offer at Dh57,999 with more than 30 car bundles sold in last three days," he added.

Sydney [Australia], January 1 (ANI): Australian opener David Warner announced his retirement from ODI cricket on Monday, just a couple of days ahead of his farewell Test match against Pakistan at his home arena of Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) which will start from Wednesday.
The two-time Cricket World Cup winner made the announcement on the morning of New Year's Day. The left-handed opener compiled 6,932 runs in 161 ODIs at an average of 45.30, at a strike rate of 97.26. Warner has also registered 22 centuries and 33 fifties in the format, with the best score of 179.

Often stepping up at global tournaments, Warner also bows out with 1,527 ICC Cricket World Cup runs, scored at an average of 56.55, at a rate better than a run a ball. Only five men's batters stand above him on the all-time World Cup run tally, including compatriot Ricky Ponting (1743). Warner has six centuries and five half-centuries in his World Cup career.
"I have got to give back to the family," Warner said during his announcement as quoted by ICC.
"That (ODI retirement) was something I had said through the World Cup, get through that and winning that in India is a massive achievement."
Warner has retired on a high as not only he won the World Cup this year, but he also scored 535 runs in 11 matches at an average of 48.63 and a strike rate of above 108, with two centuries and two fifties. He ended up as the sixth-highest run-scorer in the tournament.
There was a caveat to Warner's announcement however, with the veteran open to a return for the 2025 Champions Trophy should he be required.
"I know there is a Champions Trophy coming up and if I am playing decent cricket still in two years' time and they need someone, I am going to be available," said Warner.
Warner will still be available to play T20Is, with the ICC T20 World Cup coming this year in June in the West Indies and the USA.
The 37-year-old entered the Australia set-up as a limited-overs specialist, debuting for the team in T20I cricket in January 2009 against South Africa before playing a first-class match, smashing 89 in 43 balls with seven fours and six sixes. He made his ODI debut against the same opposition a week later, before making a half-century in his second outing in the format. (ANI)

With every announcement and addition of expansion sets toward Pokemon TCG introduces a new meta that everyone will be utilizing to get that win against their opponent. These decks are usually made popular by Pokemon TCG Players around the world in various big-stage competitions as well as the Pokemon TCG Live that is available to play online. In this article, we will guide you with the current best decks to use in Pokemon TCG: Paradox Rift meta and utilize the right engines that are currently available to potentially get that win.
Best Decks in Pokemon TCG: Paradox Rift Meta
There are a lot of new powerful cards that are currently included in the rotation with the likes of Gholdengo ex, Iron Valiant ex, and Roaring Moon ex. These cards are all respectively powerful in the normal, future, and ancient types of Pokemon cards. We will list down all the details and everything that you need to know and consider when playing these powerful cards, engines, and decks.
Roaring Moon ex Engines
As what we have mentioned in our article that speaks about the most expensive cards in the latest expansion, Roaring Moon ex can stand toe-to-toe against other big players in the current meta of the game. Having the ability to be able to one-hit knock out opposing Pokemon that are tough enough with even the highest HP can be done with just three energy cards and being hit with a 200 damage recoil. That being said, we take a look at the stats of the cards listed below for better understanding:
Type: Dark
HP: 230
Weakness: Grass x2
Resistance: None
Retreat Cost: Normal Energy x2
Moveset:
Frenzied Gouge
Damage:
Energy Cost: Dark Energy x2, Normal Energy x1
Description: Knock Out your opponent’s Active Pokemon. If your opponent’s Active Pokemon is Knocked Out in this way, this Pokemon does 200 damage to itself.
Calamity Storm
Damage: 100+
Energy Cost: Dark Energy x2, Normal Energy x1
Description: You may discard a Stadium in play. If you do, this attack does 120 more damage.
You can build around the Roaring Moon ex engine by utilizing these two deck compositions:
Turbo Roaring Moon ex Deck Composition
- Roaring Moon ex – x4
- Morpeko – x2
- Radiant Greninja – x1
- Squawkabilly ex – x1
- Lumineon V – x1

- Dark Patch – x4
- Escape Rope – x1
- Switch Card – x1
- Pal Pad – x1
- PokeStop – x4
- Dark Energy – x8
- Water Energy – x2
Basically, what you would want to happen is to accelerate everything as quickly as possible to deal as much damage in the early round and knock out your opponent's Active Pokemon. Given that Roaring Moon ex is a Basic Pokemon, this gives you the chance to draw the card in several speedy ways like the inclusion of the Battle VIP Pass. With the help of Battle VIP Pass, Dark Patch, Cross Switcher, PokeStop, Earthern Vessel, and Trekking Shoes, there is no way that you can be disrupted and slowed down by your opponents.
Turbo Roaring Moon ex / Galarian Moltres V Deck Composition
There is another way to potentially speed things up but with a minor change in the Turbo Roaring Moon ex deck. The deck composition is as follows:
- Roaring Moon ex – x4

Chien-Pao ex / Baxcalibur engine
Chien-Pao ex remains to be a great overall engine in the current meta. With its Shivery Chill Ability, you get to search your deck for 2 Basic Water Energy cards and place them on your hand. With its offensive move, Hail Blade, you can discard any amount of Water Energy Card from this Pokemon and deal 60 damage per discarded energy card. You will roughly need around four (4) to five (5) Water Energy Cards to easily knock out your opponent's Active Pokemon.

Speed things up by coming from behind with this scary tactic.
Charizard ex / Pidgeot ex engine
The ever-so-famous Pokemon TCG Card, Charizard ex remains in the realm of the current Pokemon TCG meta in the Paradox Rift expansion set's rotation. It is still one of the best decks in the Paradox Rift meta and is pretty much utilizing the same deck composition and tactic. You need to speed up your evolution into a Stage 2 Charizard ex that can do a lot of damage against your opponent's Active Pokemon. To help you with this endeavor, Pidgeot ex comes in swinging clutch every turn by giving you any card with the Quick Search Ability.
In case you have forgotten, this is what these cards in the engine are:
Type: Fire
HP: 330
Weakness: Water x2
Resistance: None
Retreat Cost: Normal Energy x2
Moveset:

If you are unfamiliar with this deck composition, the priority here is to get the Pidgeot ex up and running as soon as possible. This will allow you to utilize Pidgeot ex's Ability – Quick Search to get any card from your deck and place it in your hand. With this nifty boost, you can get your Charmander to easily evolve into a Charizard ex with the help of either a Rare Candy or evolving it into a Charmeleon (which takes another round to complete). The energy requirement to use Burning Darkness doesn't really need to be managed given the Charizard can easily fill this up with the use of its Ability – Infernal Reign. With at least 3 Fire Energy, you can dish out as much as 210 damage against your opponent's Active Pokemon.

Definitely, the Lost Box engine belongs in one of the best decks Paradox Rift meta has to offer.

Paris [France], January 1 (ANI): As Paris braces to host the Olympic Games this year, French President Emmanuel Macron has called for unity in his New Year's Eve Address, according to German media publication DW.
Speaking from the Elysee Palace, Macron had the Olympic nation's flags behind him as he delivered his address.

"We will have to make the choice of a stronger, more sovereign Europe in the light of the legacy of Jacques Delors," the French President said.
"My dear compatriots, Year of determination, choice, regeneration, pride and hope, 2024 will be a French vintage. I wish you a beautiful and happy new year. Long live the Republic, long live France!" Macron posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Paris, along with other major countries like Australia, New Zealand, the UAE, Berlin, and Taiwan, ring in 2024 on Monday.
Taiwan welcomed the New Year with fireworks.
Meanwhile, huge fireworks displays were used to celebrate the beginning of the new year in Greece, Germany, and France.
However, because of a number of ongoing conflicts, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war, celebrations are likely going to be subdued in several parts of the globe.
Over a million people celebrated the New Year on Sunday night amid stunning fireworks displays, illuminating the skies over Australia's Sydney Harbour and New Zealand's tallest structure, the Sky Tower in Auckland.
The countdown commenced against an illuminated digital display near the top of the 328-metre (1,076-foot) communications and observation tower, Al Jazeera reported.
As the clock struck midnight in Australia's largest city, Sydney, a 12-minute fireworks display erupted around the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The small Pacific island nations of Tonga, Samoa and Kiribati had ushered in the New Year an hour earlier. Notably, Kiribati, an island nation with 33 atolls, became the first place to bid farewell to 2023 and welcome the new year 2024 as the International Date Line loops around Kiribati's easternmost islands.

The Buffalo Bills can take a huge step towards clinching a playoff berth in Week 17 by beating the lowly New England Patriots, although it is worth noting that they lost to them earlier this season. However, they are going to have to do so without star pass rusher Von Miller, who was shockingly made a healthy scratch by head coach Sean McDermott ahead of this game.
Via Ian Rapoport:
“Bills pass-rusher Von Miller, who had no injury status, is inactive.”
This is a pretty surprising turn of events in what has been a rocky season for Miller with the Bills. On the field, his play has left a lot to be desired, as he has just three tackles, three QB hits, and no sacks in 11 games played this year. He's not playing every defensive snap, but for a pass rusher of Miller's ability, he's been practically invisible when he's been on the field this season.
Off the field, Miller found himself accused of assaulting a pregnant woman, who was eventually revealed to be his girlfriend. While she ended up recanting her claim, with Miller also coming out and saying the accusations were false, it certainly hasn't been a great look for the superstar pass rusher.
It's been a season full of lows for Miller, and being made a healthy scratch confirms the massive fall from grace he has had this season with Buffalo. It will be interesting to see whether or not there are more details about this decision that we don't know about, and everyone will now be curious to see if Miller ends up playing in Week 18 after this sudden decision. | https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-von-miller-healthy-scratch-pivotal-week-17-contest-patriots | 2024-01-01T03:15:43Z |
Study shows smoking could hinder body's ability to fight skin cancer
A team led by researchers from the university analyzed the situation of more than 700 patients with melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, Xinhua reports.
They found that overall, smokers among these patients were 40 percent less likely to survive their disease than those who have never smoked within a decade after their diagnosis.
As the researchers dig deeper, they also observed that in a subset of 156 patients who had the most genetic indicators for immune cells, smokers were around four and a half times less likely to survive from the cancer than people who had never smoked.
"The immune system is like an orchestra, with multiple pieces. This research suggests that smoking might disrupt how it works together in tune, allowing the musicians to continue playing but possibly in a more disorganized way," said lead author of the study Julia Newton-Bishop, Professor of Dermatology at the University of Leeds.
"The result is that smokers could still mount an immune response to try and destroy the melanoma, but it appears to have been less effective than in never-smokers, and smokers were less likely to survive their cancer," Julia Newton-Bishop also said.
Researchers believe that smoking may have had an impact on patients' immune system and this may have altered their ability to fight their skin cancer, as well as increasing their risk of other health issues relating to smoking.
Therefore, stopping smoking should be strongly recommended for people diagnosed with melanoma, according to the researchers. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/study-shows-smoking-could-hinder-body-s-ability-to-fight-skin-cancer_a3499638/ | 2024-01-01T03:15:44Z |
(The Hill) — Student loan borrowers began 2023 with money and hope. The year will end with resumed monthly payments and only limited debt relief.
At the start of the year, student loans remained in their pandemic pause, as President Biden’s debt relief plan headed to the Supreme Court. But the administration decided that once the Supreme Court ruled on the legality of his loan forgiveness plan — regardless of the outcome — borrowers should have to restart their payments.
In June, the conservative-majority court ruled Biden’s plan to forgive at least $10,000 for all student loan borrowers was illegal.
“I think the low point is definitely the loss at the Supreme Court and, with that, payments coming back on. I think that’s actually in some ways equally as bad to see [loans turned back on] after we fought so long to keep them off,” said Natalia Abrams at the Student Debt Crisis Center (SDCC).
The White House moved forward from the loss by announcing a new income-driven repayment (IDR) plan and intentions to work toward an alternative route for widespread debt relief.
Debt relief plan spurs lawsuits
At the end of 2022, making good on its campaign promise of giving at least $10,000 in loan forgiveness to all borrowers, the Biden administration opened up debt relief applications.
Multiple lawsuits were filed soon after, and two made it to the Supreme Court.
In the first half of the year, borrowers anxiously waited for the court to announce its decision on the case, which came June 30.
“The Secretary asserts that the HEROES Act grants him the authority to cancel $430 billion of student loan principal. It does not,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion.
The case turned a tide, and student loan borrowers went from hopeful to panicked, as they had 60 days after the ruling to prepare for the restart of interest and student loan payments.
“I think the honest answer is, it didn’t go as well as it could of, and I’m sure that it feels like a shock honestly to student loan debt holders or borrowers to be in this position, especially at the end of the year,” said DeNora Getachew, CEO of DoSomething.org, a group dedicated to youth activism.
Next step: Revamped repayments
The Biden administration had two plans after the Supreme Court ruling: working on an alternative loan forgiveness program and revamping income-driven repayment programs.
In August, the White House announced the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) IDR plan, which it touted as the “most affordable repayment plan in history.”
“The SAVE plan is another huge step forward in President Biden’s tireless efforts to fix the broken student loan system, reduce the burden of student debt on working families, and put borrowers first,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said.
For those enrolled in the SAVE IDR plan, when payments resumed, the income exemption for monthly payments increased from 150 percent above the poverty line to 225 percent, and unpaid interest would not grow. The Department of Education has said more than 5 million borrowers have enrolled in the plan.
Going into summer 2024, changes to the SAVE plan will slash payments from 10 percent of discretionary income to 5 percent.
“I guess on the positive we can expect to see payments for undergraduate borrowers cut in half on July 1. That will be beneficial to so many people because a lot of people had increased payments on the SAVE plan at first, but hopefully with that being cut in half, it will be a good thing,” Abrams said.
Biden’s ‘Plan B’
After the Supreme Court ruling, Biden also announced his “Plan B” for his student loan plan, which requires him to go through the Higher Education Act’s negotiated rulemaking process.
That requires public comments and multiple meetings with stakeholders — which have begun — to determine what the plan could look like. The plan discussed so far at meetings would target only certain categories of borrowers, if approved. This process takes months, and it won’t be known until well into next year what the final plan will become.
The stakeholders are looking at five groups in the plan: Borrowers who entered repayment decades ago; borrowers whose balances are greater than what they originally owed; borrowers who are eligible for relief under specific programs but didn’t apply; those under financial hardship; and those who went through programs that didn’t give financial value.
“I think they could have done more, especially because they were using the [Higher Education Act] process,” Abrams said. “And I know that our organization flooded with more than like 20,000, 25,000 comments demanding full debt cancellation, so it still needs to be much stronger and much more universal for all borrowers.”
However, this plan will still be more widespread than what the Biden administration has been doing to give student debt relief to some borrowers.
The administration has forgiven $132 billion in student loans by targeting specific groups such as those on the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program (PSLF) or those who had claims with the Borrower Defense program.
But it is unclear if these efforts will be enough to satisfy student loans borrowers to whom Biden promised $10,000 in relief during his campaign.
The Biden administration is “doing the best they can given the recent Supreme Court decision to relieve as much debt as possible and to continue, I think, to keep coming back to the table to come up with proposals to ensure that they’re reducing the burden on as many borrowers as possible,” Getachew said.
Going into 2024, she said for borrowers she is “hopeful that they will have a better sense around their economic certainty.” | https://wgntv.com/news/national/student-debt-fight-ends-year-on-disappointing-note/ | 2024-01-01T03:15:45Z |
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ring in the new year at Chiefs game in Kansas City
Taylor Swift is ringing in the new year with Travis Kelce in Kansas City at the last Chiefs game of the year.
In video shared on social media, Swift was seen arriving at Arrowhead Stadium, sporting a letterman-style jacket with the Chief’s and NFL logos on it, paired with a sleek all-black ensemble comprised of a shirt, pants and high-heeled boots.
The "Style" singer wore her hair down and loose, with a single small braid sure to spark a new trend, all tied together with her signature red lip.
Swift took her spot in the Chiefs' suite to enthusiastically cheer Kelce on during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

EX-NFL STAR PUSHES BACK ON NARRATIVE TAYLOR SWIFT IS DISTRACTION FOR CHIEFS
Fans noted that Swift’s Chiefs letterman-style jacket matched one worn by Kelce last week, designed by Jeff Hamilton.
On Hamilton’s Instagram page, he posted a photo of Kelce wearing the look and responded to a fan comment saying Swift needed one with, "You know she has it already."
Swift’s appearance marks her ninth appearance at a game since she began dating Kelce. The "Cruel Summer" singer spent Christmas Day with her parents, Scott and Andrea, and brother, Austin, in the suite together.
The family got festive for the occasion with Swift wearing a Santa hat with Kelce's number, 87, on the brim, while her brother Austin wore a Santa costume.
The couple first sparked dating rumors in September after she appeared at Arrowhead Stadium to watch him play. In a recent interview with TIME, Swift clarified the timeline of their relationship, noting that her attendance was not their first outing together.

"By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple," Swift explained. "I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."
Swift is due back on the road for her Eras tour beginning on February 7 in Japan. She has three shows in Tokyo, the last on Feb. 10, then a short break before picking up again in Australia on Feb. 16. | https://www.fox6now.com/news/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelce-ring-in-the-new-year-at-chiefs-game-in-kansas-city | 2024-01-01T03:15:45Z |
Kinshasa [Congo], January 1 (ANI): Felix Tshisekedi, the president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was re-elected to a second term in a December 20 poll with more than 73 per cent of the vote, the country's election commission, CENI, said on Sunday, according to CNN.
The announcement of the results comes after the opposition complained about the election's procedures for several days.
Also Read | Denmark Queen Announces Abdication: Margrethe II To Step Down After 52 Years on Throne on January 14.
Denis Kadima, the chairman of CENI, announced the results in the capital, Kinshasa.
He stated that Tshisekedi had received more than 13 million votes out of a total of over 18 million legitimate ballots and that more than 43 per cent of voters had participated, according to CNN.

After Kadima declared Tshisekedi to be temporarily elected, the supporters of Tshisekedi who were there burst into cheers.
Candidates, political parties, and individuals designated by them have two days to file a constitutional court appeal against the election results. After that, the court has seven days to make a decision and announce the outcome.
The frontrunner of the opposition, Moise Katumbi, who received 18 per cent of the vote, has already said that he would not file a lawsuit against CENI's findings, citing the purported lack of independence of state institutions, CNN reported.
The other opposition candidates have not made it clear if they want to contest the outcome.
Nine opposition presidential candidates, including Katumbi, and six political party leaders called on supporters to demonstrate in the streets following the announcement of the preliminary results earlier on Sunday. (ANI)

In the final game of the year 2023, it was a rough outing for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Yes, the Bills came away with a 27-21 win over the New England Patriots, a team that for so long Buffalo just could not beat, and in doing so, the Bills put themselves in a position to win the AFC East next week with a win over the Miami Dolphins. But Allen struggled out of the gate, failing to complete any of his first six pass attempts. For the game, Allen finished 15-for-30 for 169 yards, contributing two touchdowns on the ground, but overall, it was a sloppy performance that ended prematurely, when Allen took himself off the field late in the game following a big hit.
“Bills QB Josh Allen took a nasty shot to his non-throwing shoulder on his last snap of Buffalo's win over New England. Trainers with him now,” according to a tweet from Albert Breer of NBC Sports.
After the game, Allen seemed to downplay the severity of the injury, calling it “a little stinger” that “felt a little funky,” according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic.
Fortunately for Buffalo, the Bills defense was able to do the heavy lifting in Sunday's win, forcing four Patriots turnovers, which helped the Bills be able to withstand an opening kickoff return for a touchdown by Patriots receiver Jalen Reagor. In addition, the Bills continued to ride a rushing attack that has started to come alive over the last month and a half of the season. On 37 carries, the Bills rushed for 127 yards, their sixth consecutive game with at least 100 yards. | https://clutchpoints.com/bills-qb-josh-allen-pulls-himself-after-big-hit-late-in-fourth-quarter-win-over-patriots | 2024-01-01T03:15:50Z |
CHICAGO — As 2023 draws to a close, the Midwest is shaping up to be at the center of the 2024 election season.
First, Colorado kicked Donald Trump off the ballot, then Maine disqualified the former president for engaging in insurrection. Michigan’s high court ruled that he could stay on the ballot, but Trump’s legal woes, his ballot eligibility, and 91 criminal counts are sure to dominate headlines in 2024.
Despite his troubles, polls showed that Trump is the leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. The contest kicks off on Jan. 15 in Iowa.
President Joe Biden is all but certain to secure his party’s nomination. Biden wanted South Carolina to vote first for Democrats on Feb. 3, but New Hampshire defied him, setting a Jan 23 primary.
Both parties officially nominate their candidates this summer in the Midwest.
First, Republicans gather for their convention from July 15 through 18 in Milwaukee. Then, from August 19th through 22, Democrats convene in Chicago.
Third-party candidates are not new, but in 2024, they could play an outsize role with well-known independents like Robert F. Kennedy and Cornell West likely to gain support. Plus the well-financed No Labels campaign is considering candidates. Election day is Nov. 5.
On the local front, Cook County voters are choosing a new state’s attorney. As Kim Foxx leaves, former appellate court justice Eileen O’Neill Burke and former Assistant State’s Attorney Clayton Harris III are competing for the Democratic nomination while perennial candidate Bob Fioretti runs as a Republican.
In the race for congress, Danny Davis, seeking a 15th term, has been primaried by City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin, policy wonk Kina Collins, and Kouri Marshall, formerly of the Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s administration.
In the 4th district, another Democrat has been primaried. Fiery Chicago Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th Ward) wants to unseat Congressman Jesus “Chuy” Garcia.
There’s also a marquee matchup in the Republican primary in Illinois’ 12th Congressional district, which covers 34 southern counties: Former gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey is challenging veteran Congressman Mike Bost. The primary in Illinois is on March 19.
Another high-profile corruption case is on tap. Former House Speaker Michael Madigan’s racketeering conspiracy trial is set to begin April 1st, although his attorneys have filed for a delay.
Finally, monumental change is coming to Chicago Public Schools when voters begin electing school board members in November.
If there is a Biden-Trump rematch next fall, it would be the seventh presidential rematch in history. | https://wgntv.com/politics-3/midwest-shaping-up-to-be-at-the-center-of-the-2024-election-season/ | 2024-01-01T03:15:51Z |

Swine fever spreads in Japan, gov't warns of ‘extremely serious' phase
"We are facing an extremely serious situation," farm minister Takamori Yoshikawa told a meeting at his ministry in Tokyo while instructing officials to take thorough countermeasures. The ministry also set up a special task force in Gifu Prefecture to step up containment efforts.
Spreading from farms in Gifu, the hog cholera virus was newly detected by prefectural and local authorities at farms in neighboring Aichi as well as in Osaka, Shiga and Nagano prefectures.
The total number of pigs to be culled at affected farms is expected to reach 15,000.
"It worries me that we don't know how the disease is spreading," said a pig farmer in Iida, Nagano Prefecture. "The only thing we can do is to thoroughly manage hygiene."
The disease does not affect humans even if meat from an infected animal is consumed, but it is fatal to pigs and boars.
Around 130 wild boars in Gifu and Aichi prefecture have tested positive for infection despite experts' initial assumption that it would not spread among the animals, which typically do not live in large herds.
Although there is a vaccine to counter classic swine fever, using it could prevent Japan from regaining its World Organization for Animal Health status as a CSF free country, hindering Japan's plan to expand pork exports. The organization already suspended Japan's such status after the outbreak in September.
Yasuhiro Ozato, a senior vice farm minister, expressed reluctance to use the vaccine, saying, "We will seek to resolve this by sticking to hygiene control standards."
The Aichi prefectural government began culling around 6,600 pigs at a farm in the city of Toyota with the help of the Ground Self-Defense Force, while banning shipments from six other farms located within 10 kilometers.
The farm in Toyota had shipped pigs to six facilities in Nagano, Gifu, Aichi, Mie, Shiga and Osaka prefectures since January, but the ministry has not detected the virus in Mie.
The farm in Toyota reported to the Aichi government on Monday that pigs were showing symptoms of infection, including loss of appetite, and the prefecture detected the hog cholera virus in five pigs the following day. Detailed tests by the central government confirmed the infection on Wednesday.
The Aichi government said the farm in Toyota shipped pigs to a Nagano Prefecture farm Tuesday morning even after noticing hog cholera symptoms among them as prefectural authorities suspected another illness and did not stop shipments.
Of the 80 pigs brought to the farm in Miyada, Nagano, 79 were found to have been infected with the virus, according to the Nagano prefectural government.
A man involved in pig farming who lives near the Toyota farm said, "There was a vet at the company (managing the farm). I thought they were taking thorough preventive measures."
Hog cholera was detected at a farm in the city of Gifu in September, the first such discovery in Japan since 1992. The country declared the virus eradicated in 2007. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/swine-fever-spreads-in-japan-gov-t-warns-of-extremely-serious-phase_a3495461/ | 2024-01-01T03:15:51Z |
Tel Aviv [Israel], January 1 (ANI): As Israel entered 2024 on Monday, more than 20 rockets were fired by Hamas at southern and central Israel just at the start of the new year, according to The Times of Israel.
The Iron Dome missile defence system, however, intercepted the majority of them.

Sirens could be heard in several places around the nation, including in Ashdod, Sderot, and other southern cities, as well as in Rehovot, Ness Ziona, Holon, Lod, and Modiin, The Times of Israel reported.
There haven't been any recorded injuries, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service, as of yet.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF), last week asked residents in many parts of central Gaza to leave immediately while its operations against Hamas continue, CNN reported.
In a message posted in Arabic on X, the IDF urged residents in 15 identified blocks south of Wadi Gaza to move to shelters. The regions include the Al-Bureij refugee camp.
In its message, the IDF said people in the identified blocks "must immediately move to the shelters in Deir al-Balah. A temporary tactical local suspension of military activities will be imposed for humanitarian purposes in the southern neighbourhood of Deir al-Balah from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm for provisions purposes," CNN reported.
The IDF urged people not to move along the central axis, the Salah Al-Din road, due to the fighting in the Khan Younis area of Gaza, according to a CNN report. It said, "The IDF will allow the humanitarian movement of civilians through the bypass axis west of Khan Younis."
Meanwhile, Israel Defence Forces (IDF) located and destroyed three terror tunnel shafts belonging to the Hamas terror organisation near the Rantisi Hospital and in the nearby High School on Wednesday.
The tunnel shafts that the Hamas fighters used are dozens of metres deep and are linked by an underground network that runs beneath the hospital and into Gaza City. "IDF troops are uncovering Hamas' tunnels inside and around multiple hospitals within Gaza. The Rantisi Hospital is just another terrorist stronghold used to connect and transfer terrorists and weapons throughout Gaza to be used against Israelis," the IDF wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter), after recovering the tunnel.
In recent weeks, IDF soldiers led by the 162nd Division's 401st Brigade, in collaboration with Flotilla 13 and the 'Yahalom' Unit, discovered and searched three active tunnel shafts near Rantisi Hospital.
'Yahalom' soldiers searched the region, as well as, the shafts and tunnels, employing a variety of methods to map the topography of the tunnels and the linkages between the shafts. Notably, Yahalom is a sayeret unit of the Israeli Combat Engineering Corps of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF).
According to the IDF, this operation revealed that the shafts are connected by a wide underground network passing under the hospital, spanning several kilometres, and leading to strategic points in the heart of Gaza City. (ANI)

The Portland Trail Blazers released their injury report ahead of their New Year's Day matchup against the Phoenix Suns, and guard Shaedon Sharpe is set to rejoin the lineup:
Shaedon back. https://t.co/wIMww0KvB2
— Peter Sampson (@PeterSampson) January 1, 2024
Sharpe had missed the last five games for the Blazers as he dealt with a nagging hip injury. It seemed as though it was more of a pain tolerance issue than an acute injury and, in fact, Sharpe was out shooting around in pregame for each of the Blazers' last few home games despite being inactive.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the Blazers will still be without two other starters.
Center Deandre Ayton continues to deal with right knee tendonitis. This will be his fourth straight missed game. Ayton missed a total of six games in two different chunks for the Blazers in the month of December while dealing with the injury.
Perhaps most importantly, Anfernee Simons will miss his third straight game due to illness. The Blazers' leading scorer woke up last week feeling under the weather and has been forced to sit. No word on the type of illness he's dealing with or its severity.
Off of the bench, center Duop Reath continues to deal with a lower back strain. Reath was a late scratch in the Blazers' game against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. During warmups, he was seen leaning over and speaking to a trainer before exiting the court.
Ayton and Reath being out likely means that center Moses Brown will start again at center. He's had moments of solid rebounding for the Blazers in the last week, though he did get cooked off the floor in less than four minutes of action on Friday night. Fans will also likely get treated to a handful of minutes from new fan-favorite Abou Badji.
Sharpe will almost certainly start. So, the only major question left becomes whether Malcom Brogdon or Scoot Henderson gets the nod at point guard.
All will be revealed when the Blazers kick off a long road trip in Phoenix on New Year's Day. | https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-news-shaedon-sharpe-injury-update-road-trip | 2024-01-01T03:15:57Z |

Paia, Jan 1 (AP) A surfer in Hawaii has died after being injured in a shark encounter off Maui's northern shore, according to the Maui Police Department.

Ocean Safety Officers grabbed and transported the man by jet ski to shore, where responders performed life-saving measures until medical personnel arrived and took the victim to a hospital for further treatment, police said in a news release.
The man's identity was not immediately released pending the notification of extended family and friends. Authorities did say the man was from Haiku, a small community on Maui's north side.

Before the clock struck midnight on 2023, the Braves swung a trade with the Boston Red Sox for Chris Sale. As the Braves make a push for the World Series, Alex Anthopolous revealed exactly why he pursued Sale.
Atlanta traded heralded prospect Vaughn Grissom to the Red Sox for Sale. With the left-hander now with the Braves, Anthopolous described Sale as a, “perfect,” fit in terms of clubhouse, makeup and ability to pitch in the playoffs, via Alex Speier of the Boston Globe.
Sale pitched in 20 games in 2023 after combing for just 11 through 2021-22. He held a 6-5. record with a 4.30 ERA and a 125/29 K/BB ratio. While he was healthier than he has been, Sale still battled a shoulder throughout the season.
The Braves believe however that he is exactly what the doctor ordered for their rotation. Atlanta ranked 15th in the league with their 4.14 ERA. While they had the third-most strikeouts (1,516), the Braves .245 batting average against ranked 14th in the league. In search of elite play, Atlanta wanted more stability in their rotation.
Vaughn Grissom ranked as seventh-best prospect in the Braves' organization before the 2023 season, via MLB Pipeline. While he possesses massive potential, Atlanta couldn't find a spot for him on the field. Instead, they decided to go for Sale's present over Grissom's future.
For all the injury-riddled seasons he has gone through, Chris Sale is still a decorated MLB pitcher. Sale is a seven-time All-Star and a World Series champion. The Braves are searching for another World Series themselves and Alex Anthopolous believed Sale was a missing piece. | https://clutchpoints.com/braves-news-alex-anthopoulos-chris-sale-perfect-atlanta-red-sox-trade | 2024-01-01T03:16:03Z |

Swiss researchers reveal prosthetic giving amputees sense of touch
EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) said the results of the study have been published in Science Robotics and are the result of 10 years' robotics research, Xinhua reports.
Researchers from EPFL, the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa and the A. Gemelli University Polyclinic in Rome developed the next-generation bionic hand.
"It enables amputees to regain a very subtle, close-to-natural sense of touch," EPFL said in a statement.
"The scientists managed to reproduce the feeling of proprioception, which is our brain's capacity to instantly and accurately sense the position of our limbs during and after movement - even in the dark or with our eyes closed," said the university.
The new device allows patients to reach out for an object on a table and to ascertain an item's consistency, shape, position and size without having to look at it.
The prosthesis has been successfully tested on several patients and works by stimulating the nerves in the amputee's stump.
The nerves can then provide sensory feedback to the patients in real time - almost like they do in a natural hand.
"These results show that amputees can effectively process tactile and position information received simultaneously via intraneural stimulation," said Edoardo D'Anna, EPFL researcher and lead author of the study.
EPFL said that other European research centers contributed to the study including the University of Cagliari (Italy), the University of Montpellier (France) and the University of Freiburg (Germany). | https://en.inform.kz/amp/swiss-researchers-reveal-prosthetic-giving-amputees-sense-of-touch_a3501256/ | 2024-01-01T03:16:06Z |

Earlier this month, Crip Mac was arrested during a court appearance for charges related to being a felon in possession of a firearm. The charges were previously dropped at a state level, but the case was later moved up to a federal level. After he was taken away by U.S. Marshals, the personality's supporters have rallied behind him as he awaits sentencing.
Reportedly, he could be looking at a lengthy stay. Billboard obtained his indictment following the arrest, giving fans a look at what he's up against. According to No Jumper, the LA native could serve a minimum of 15 years behind bars, based on his current charges and record. Unwilling to let him go down without a fight, fans have called for him to receive a lesser sentence, even starting petitions that have since garnered thousands of signatures.

Crip Mac Tells Supporters "Everything's Gonna C Alright"
While there's no doubt that he's in a rough place right now, Crip Mac has remained positive during his prison stay. Recently, he even took the opportunity to call Adam22 from behind bars, and seemed to be in good spirits. In a new clip, he chats with the No Jumper host, later sharing a motivational message to his fans. According to Crip Mac, he's used his time in prison to get in shape. He claims he's "doing a thousand push-ups a day" and also running when he's allowed outside.
"Hey what's cracking everybody, hope everybody's alright out there," he tells supporters. "Everything's gonna C alright, keep your head up." Clearly, he's not wasting any time, and has been sure to use his incarceration to work on himself. Crip Mac also seems to have a good mindset, which will hopefully get him through his sentence, however long it may be. What do you think of Crip Mac calling Adam22 from behind bars?

The desperate smear campaign to defend Israel’s crimes highlights the toxic brew of lies that’s been underpinning the liberal democratic order for decades.
In a popular British comedy sketch set during the Second World War, a Nazi officer near the front lines turns to a fellow officer and, in a moment of sudden – and comic – self-doubt, asks: “Are we the baddies?”
For many of us, it has felt like we are living through the same moment, extended for nearly three months – though there has been nothing to laugh about.
Western leaders have not only backed rhetorically a genocidal war by Israel on Gaza, but they have provided diplomatic cover, weapons and other military assistance.
The West is fully complicit in the ethnic cleansing of some two million Palestinians from their homes, as well as the killing of more than 20,000 and the injuring of many tens of thousands more, a majority of them women and children.
Western politicians have insisted on Israel’s “right to defend itself” as it has levelled critical infrastructure in Gaza, including government buildings, and collapsed the health sector. Starvation and disease are starting to pick off the rest of the population.
The Palestinians of Gaza have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide from Israel’s US-supplied bombs. If they are ultimately allowed to escape, it will be into neighbouring Egypt. After decades of displacement, they will be finally exiled permanently from their homeland.
And as western capitals seek to justify these obscenities by blaming Hamas, Israeli leaders allow their soldiers and settler militias, backed by the state, to rampage across the West Bank, where there is no Hamas, attacking and killing Palestinians.
In defending Gaza’s destruction, Israeli leaders have reached readily for an analogy with the allies’ firebombing of German cities like Dresden – apparently unembarrassed by the fact that these were long ago acknowledged as some of the worst crimes of the Second World War.
Israel is waging an old-style, unabashed colonial war against the native population – of the kind that predates international humanitarian law. And western leaders are cheering them on.
Are we sure we are not the baddies?
Slave revolt
Israel’s attack on Gaza provokes revulsion from so many because it seems impossible to rationalise it. It feels like a reversion. It lays bare something primitive and ugly about the West’s behaviour that has been obscured for more than 70 years by a veneer of “progress”, by talk about the primacy of human rights, by the development of international institutions, by the rules of war, by claims of humanitarianism.
Yes, these claims were invariably bogus. Vietnam, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Ukraine were all sold based on lies. The true goal of the US, and its Nato sidekicks, was plundering the resources of others, maintaining Washington as the global top dog, and enriching a western elite.
But importantly, the deception was sustained by an overarching narrative that dragged along many westerners in its wake. Wars were to counter the threat of Soviet communism, or Islamic “terror”, or a renewed Russian imperialism. And as a positive corollary, these wars claimed to be liberating oppressed women, protecting human rights, and fostering democracy.
None of that narrative overlay works this time.
There is nothing humanitarian about bombing trapped civilians in Gaza, turning their tiny prison enclave into rubble, reminiscent of earthquake disaster zones but this time an entirely man-made catastrophe.
Even Israel does not have the gall to claim to be liberating the women and girls of Gaza from Hamas as it kills and starves them. Nor does it pretend to be interested in democracy promotion. Rather, Gaza is full of “human animals” and must be “flattened”.
And it has been all but impossible to make Hamas, a group of a few thousand fighters penned into Gaza, appear a credible threat to the West’s way of life.
Hamas cannot send any kind of warhead into Europe, let alone in 45 minutes. Their prison camp, even before its destruction, was never the plausible heart of some Islamist empire ready to overrun the West and subject it to “sharia law”.
In fact, it has been barely feasible to refer to these past weeks as a war. Gaza is not a state, it has no army. It has been under occupation for decades and under siege for 16 years – a blockade in which Israel has counted the calories allowed in to maintain low-level malnutrition among Palestinians.
As the American Jewish scholar Norman Finkelstein has noted, Hamas’ breakout on 7 October is better understood not as a war but as a slave revolt. And like slave rebellions throughout history – from Spartacus’ against the Romans to Nat Turner’s in Virginia in 1831 – it was inevitably going to turn brutal and bloody.
Are we on the side of the murderous prison guards? Are we arming the plantation owners?
Mass gaslighting
In the absence of a persuasive justification for assisting Israel in its genocidal campaign in Gaza, our leaders are having to wage a parallel war on the western public – or at least on their minds.
To question Israel’s right to exterminate Palestinians in Gaza, to chant a slogan calling for Palestinians to be free of occupation and siege, to want equal rights for all in the region – these are now all treated as the equivalent of antisemitism.
To demand a ceasefire to stop Palestinians dying under the bombs is to hate Jews.
The extent to which these narrative manipulations are not only abhorrent but themselves constitute antisemitism should be obvious, were we not being so relentlessly and thoroughly gaslit by our ruling class.
Those defending Israel’s genocide suggest that it is not just Israel’s ultra-right government and military but all Jews who will the destruction of Gaza, the ethnic cleansing of its population, and the murder of thousands of Palestinian children.
That is the real Jew hatred.
But the path to this mass gaslighting operation has been paved for a while. It began long before Israel’s levelling of Gaza.
When Jeremy Corbyn was elected Labour leader in 2015, he brought for the first time a meaningful anti-imperialist agenda to the heart of British politics. And as a staunch supporter of Palestinian rights, he was viewed by the establishment as a threat to Israel, a critically important US client state and the lynchpin of the West’s projection of military might into the oil-rich Middle East.
Western elites were bound to respond with unprecedented hostility to this challenge to their forever war machine. This appears to have been duly noted by Corbyn’s successor, Keir Starmer, who has since made sure to present Labour as Nato’s number one cheerleader.
During Corbyn’s tenure, little time was lost by the establishment in working out the best strategy for putting the Labour leader permanently on the back foot and undermining his well-established anti-racist credentials. He was recast as an antisemite.
The campaign of smears not only damaged Corbyn personally but tore the Labour Party apart, turning it into a rabble of feuding factions, eating up all the party’s energy and making it unelectable.
Smear campaign
That same playbook has now been rolled out against much of the British and US public.
This month the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a resolution equating anti-Zionism – in this case, opposition to Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza – with antisemitism.
Protesters who have turned out to demand a ceasefire to end the massacres in Gaza are characterised as “rioters”, while their chant of “from the river to the sea” calling for equal rights between Israeli Jews and Palestinians is denounced as a “rallying cry for the eradication of the state of Israel and the Jewish people”.
Tellingly again, this is an inadvertent admission by the western ruling class that Israel – constituted as a Jewish chauvinist, settler-colonial state – can never allow Palestinians equality or meaningful freedoms any more than apartheid South Africa could for the native Black population.
In a complete inversion of reality, opposition to genocide has been reframed by US politicians as genocidal.
This mass smear campaign is so unmoored that western elites are even turning on their own to shut down freedoms of speech and thought in the institutions where they are supposed to be heavily protected.
The heads of three top US universities – from which the next members of the ruling class will emerge – were grilled by Congress about the threat of antisemitism to Jewish students from campus protests calling for an end to the killing in Gaza.
The West’s order of priorities was laid bare: protecting the ideological sensitivities of a section of Jewish students who fervently support Israel’s right to kill Palestinians was more important than either protecting Palestinians from genocide or defending basic democratic freedoms in the West to oppose genocide.
The reticence of the three university presidents to cave in to the politicians’ demands for the snuffing out of free speech and thought on campus led to a campaign to defund their colleges as well as calls for their heads.
One, Elizabeth Magill of the University of Pennsylvania, has already been forced out of office.
Crisis on all fronts
These developments are not the outcome of some strange, temporary, collective psychosis overtaking western establishments. They are yet more evidence of a desperate failure to stop the West’s long-term trajectory towards crises on multiple fronts.
They are a sign, first, that the ruling class understands it is again visible to the public as a ruling class, and that its interests are beginning to be seen as completely divorced from those of ordinary people. The scales are falling from our eyes.
The simple fact that one can again use the language of “establishments”, a “ruling class” and “class war” without sounding unhinged or like a throwback to the 1950s is an indication of how perception management – and narrative manipulation – so central to upholding the western political project since the end of the Second World War is failing.
Claims about the triumph of the liberal democratic order declared so loudly in the late 1980s by intellectuals such as Francis Fukuyama – or “the end of history”, as he grandly termed it – now look patently absurd.
And that is because, second, western elites clearly have no answers for the biggest challenges of our era. They are floundering around trying to deal with the inherent paradoxes in the capitalist order that liberal democracy was there to obscure.
Reality is breaking through the ideological cladding.
The most catastrophic is the climate crisis. Capitalism’s model of mass consumption and competition for the sake of competition is proving suicidal.
Limited resources – especially in our oil-addicted economies – mean growth is proving an ever-more costly extravagance. Those raised from birth to aspire to a better standard of living than their parents are growing not richer, but more disillusioned and bitter.
And the promise of progress – of kinder, more nurturing and equal societies – now sounds like a sick joke to most westerners under the age of 45.
Brew of lies
The claim that the West is best is starting to look like it rests on shaky foundations, even to western audiences.
But that idea crumbled long ago abroad, in the countries either devastated by the West’s war machine or waiting for their turn. The liberal democratic order offers them nothing except threats: it demands fealty or punishment.
Which is the context for the current genocide in Gaza.
As it claims, Israel is on the front lines – but not of a clash of civilisations. It is an exposed, precarious outpost of the liberal democratic order, where the brew of lies about democracy and liberalism are at their most toxic and unconvincing.
Israel is an apartheid state masquerading as “the only democracy in the Middle East”. Its brutal occupation forces masquerade as “the most moral army in the world”. And now Israel’s genocide in Gaza masquerades as “the elimination of Hamas”.
Israel has always had to obscure these lies through intimidation. Anyone daring to call out the deceptions is smeared as an antisemite.
But that playbook has sounded grossly offensive – inhuman even – when the matter at hand is stopping genocide in Gaza.
Where does this ultimately lead?
Nearly a decade ago, the Israeli scholar and peace activist Jeff Halper wrote a book, War Against the People, warning: “In an endless war on terror, we are all doomed to become Palestinians.”
Not just the West’s “enemies”, but its populations would come to be seen as a threat to the interests of a capitalist ruling class bent on its permanent privilege and enrichment, whatever the costs to the rest of us.
That argument – which sounded hyperbolic when he first aired it – is beginning to seem prescient.
Gaza is not just the front line of Israel’s genocidal war on the Palestinian people. It is also a front line in the western elite’s war on our ability to think critically, to develop sustainable ways to live, and to demand that others be treated with the dignity and humanity we expect for ourselves.
Yes, the battle lines are drawn. And anyone who refuses to side with the baddies is the enemy. | https://dissidentvoice.org/2023/12/are-we-the-baddies/ | 2024-01-01T03:16:07Z |

The Jarrett Stidham Era is off to a rough start, health-wise, as the Denver Broncos battle multiple injuries in their receiver room. It was a good news (Jerry Jeudy), bad news (Marvin Mims Jr.) update before kickoff against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17.
Jeudy, second on the team in receptions, yards, and targets, is expected to take the field despite dealing with an illness and carrying a questionable designation, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. However, Mims Jr., who leads the team in yards per reception, is expected to miss Sunday's action with a hamstring injury.
As Sean Payton makes the transition from Russell Wilson to Stidham at quarterback, the Broncos could not afford to have Jeudy sit out this game. The team is missing leading wide receiver Courtland Sutton, who was already ruled out for Sunday because of a concussion suffered last week.
Broncos relying on Jeudy
Jeudy has endured a down year in an offense that has struggled for consistency all season. He has however, showed signs of life recently. His 118 yards in Denver's last two games is his best stretch since Week 3 of the season.
Mims Jr.'s absence will be felt in the Broncos' ability to push the ball downfield, at least as much as that part of the offense exists. Mims Jr. has hauled in four receptions of 45+ yards as a rookie despite an up-and-down season in general.
The injury updates will leave Stidham relying on Jeudy and little else in a must-win game against AFC West rivals, the Chargers. The next receivers up after are Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Brandon Johnson, who both have 11 catches on the season.
The team also added receivers Michael Bandy and Phillip Dorsett to the active roster earlier this week. | https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-mixed-bag-injury-updates-jerry-jeudy-marvin-mims-jr | 2024-01-01T03:16:10Z |

Cardi B's relationship with her fans has been rocky as of late, to say the least. After being spotted spending time with the father of her kids Offset last week, for example, some social media users speculated that they had gotten back together after their split earlier this month. This prompted a heated response from the "Bodak Yellow" performer, who didn't take kindly to the rumors.
She hopped on Twitter Spaces to unleash on those speculating, calling them out for spreading rumors when she hadn't confirmed anything. "Did I confirm anything?" she screamed. "Shut the f*ck up. I don't see nobody talking sh*t but my own f*cking fanbase." She later blamed supporters for the outburst, reprimanding them for trying to "fake teach [her] lessons." Luckily, however, they've yet to turn their backs on the NYC native, even recently surprising her with a billboard in Times Square.

Cardi B's PSA
She took to Twitter to share the news, boasting how fans have her back regardless of her aforementioned comments. In a new clip, she expresses excitement over the billboard, and pokes fun at those who thought her supporters would hold her outbursts against her. According to the femcee, those who aren't part of her fanbase should simply "mind [their] f*cking business."
"So I cursed out my fans really bad the other day, and today they put me on a Billboard on 42nd St. in Times Square," she begins. "I don't know if it's Stockholm syndrome or we just have a very toxic relationship. Either way so it just goes to show you that if you not Bardi gang you should mind your f*cking business. Awe, you thought they were going to leave me? Awe. We ain't going nowhere, b*tch! We ain't going nowhere, and neither will I. I love you, bye." What do you think of Cardi B's recent PSA?

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has said it is impossible to achieve reunification between Pyongyang and Seoul because South Korea’s principles are directly opposed to those of his country.
Addressing a meeting of the ruling Workers Party, Kim said the two states’ relations had become “hostile to each other” and no longer “consanguineous or homogeneous,” the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Sunday.
Kim declared Pyongyang’s approach to national reunification based on “one nation and one state with two systems” to be in sharp contradiction with Seoul’s “unification by absorption” and “unification under liberal democracy.”
South Korea is currently a “colonial subordinate state” whose politics are “completely out of order” and whose defense and security are totally dependent on the US, the agency said, citing Kim.
Kim said Washington had turned Seoul into its military base and nuclear arsenal, and that the number of joint military exercises between the US, South Korea and Japan in 2023 had doubled from last year. He said this fact “clearly shows” that the US is aiming for military confrontation.
Kim argued that “war may break out” on the Korean Peninsula at any time due to the “enemies’ reckless moves.” If Washington and Seoul attempt a military confrontation with Pyongyang, its “nuclear war deterrence will go over to a grave action without hesitation,” Kim stressed.
The remarks followed North Korea’s statement on Wednesday that the military situation on the Korean peninsula had become “extreme” because of “unprecedented” confrontational moves by the US and its regional allies.
In 2018, North and South Korea signed the Comprehensive Military Agreement (CMA), agreeing to “completely cease all hostile acts against each other.” However, last month, Seoul suspended part of it and resumed aerial surveillance. In response, Pyongyang vowed to restore all measures suspended since 2018.
The Korean Peninsula was divided in 1953 after an armistice was signed, halting the hostilities between North and South that had begun three years before. Technically, Pyongyang and Seoul still remain at war. | https://dissidentvoice.org/2023/12/korean-unification-impossible-kim/ | 2024-01-01T03:16:14Z |

The Denver Broncos could be in some serious trouble for the way they’ve handed the Russell Wilson contract situation after they benched him for the rest of the 2023 season to avoid injury guarantees kicking in for next year. Doing this isn’t a major issue in and of itself. Teams do this type of thing somewhat regularly. However, when you couple this with the fact the Broncos threatened to do this months ago, they tried to get Wilson to rework his deal, and the NFLPA countered with the threat of legal action, this could become an issue that gets handled in the courts.
Denver tried to force Russell Wilson to redo his contract in late October or he would be benched. In response, the NFLPA sent a letter to the NFL and the organization stating that this would violate the CBA and the law.
“It has come to our attention that the Denver Broncos have recently informed Mr. Wilson and his Certified Contract Advisor that if Mr. Wilson would not renegotiate his Player Contract to relinquish certain salary guarantees, the Broncos would remove him from the starting lineup,” the NFLPA’s law firm wrote on Nov. 4. “If the Broncos follow-through on the Club’s threat, the Club will violate, among other things, the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Mr. Wilson’s Player Contract and New York Law. And, we are particularly concerned that the Broncos still intend to commit these violations under the guise of “coaching decisions.”
Almost two months after this letter went to the Broncos, the team went ahead and announced they were benching Wilson for the final two games of the regular season.
Now, it sounds like the courts and the lawyers will ultimately decide whether the Broncos were within their rights to do this. I am certainly no lawyer, so I can’t speculate on how this plays out.
The Broncos may have hurt themselves long-term with this move
As a sportswriter, though, I am qualified to discuss how sloppy and what a bad look these alleged tactics are from the Broncos (relatively) new ownership group, the Walton-Penner Family Ownership Group. These owners are falling into the trap that many new owners fall into, thinking they can do the same things and use the same tactics they used to succeed in their other businesses (or at least continue to succeed after inheriting billions from their relatives).
While tactics like this may have helped keep Walmart at the top of the retail food chain for decades now, doing something like this to a Walmart employee is a lot easier than to a millionaire like Russell Wilson with a massive PR team or an organization with the legal clout of the NFLPA.
Not only may the Broncos face fines and maybe even football-related penalties — like the loss of draft picks — for these shenanigans moving forward. They also may have damaged their reputations among free agents with these alleged backhanded moves, which could hurt for a long time to come. | https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-nflpa-told-denver-threat-bench-russell-wilson-contract-illegal | 2024-01-01T03:16:17Z |
GRA announces 10% lottery tax takes effect January 1
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has announced that the implementation of the 10 per cent withholding tax on the gross winnings of lotteries will start on Monday, January 1, 2024.
The 10 per cent tax, which is also applicable to betting, gaming and other games of chance, comes following a six- month expiration granted to enable the National Lottery Authority (NLA), and Private Lotto Operators (PLOs) to prepare for the implementation.
“The extension expires in December 2023, and, therefore the NLA and the PLOs are required to commence the implementation of the withholding tax on Lotto Gross winnings effective January 2024,” a statement from the GRA said.
The statement urged patrons, players, punters, operators, and tax consultants to take note of this directive.
It reminded operators that failure to do so would be considered an offence under Section 78 of the Revenue Administration Act, 2016 (Act 915).
The Act stipulates that offender is liable on summary conviction to a fine of not less than 1,000 penalty units (GH¢12,000) and not more than 2,500 penalty units (GH¢30,000) or to a term of imprisonment of not less than two years and not more five years or to both.

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.

Earlier this week, Claudia Jordan took to social media to drop off some photos from her recent trip to Jamaica, but the fun vacay shots have managed to spark some speculation. In several of the photos, the 50-year-old beauty is seen posing in brightly-colored bikinis, flaunting her figure on the beach. It's undeniable that Jordan looks great in the photos. What some users are doubting, however, is the fact that she's all-natural.
Various commenters under her posts are accusing her of getting plastic surgery to achieve her killer bod, claiming that there's no way she got it without some assistance. According to her, however, these rumors are false. She clapped back in the comments section, as well as in a new clip.

In the clip, she discusses reading comments speculating on her body, claiming that she's "never" had liposuction. While she says she hasn't gotten it done yet, she admits that she'd consider it in the future to reach her body goals. "I would want a refund," she jokes, "why are y'all saying that?" Jordan continued, explaining that if she had surgery she'd be transparent about it, as she's known to share almost "too much" of her business. "I'll let you know if I do it, trust me. If all of a sudden you see me in crop tops all the time, if I didn't show y'all the workouts, then I had it done."
"I'm natural, y'all," she concluded. "Sorry to disappoint y'all that I'm 50 and I'm, you know, I'm still ight. I've got some tracks and some lashes, and that's it."

DENVER (KDVR) — A Colorado woman accused of killing two of her children was arrested in the United Kingdom on Saturday, according to police.
Kimberlee Singler, 35, is suspected of killing her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son and attempting to kill her 11-year-old daughter in Colorado Springs.
On Dec. 19, police said they responded to a 911 call reporting a burglary at an apartment complex at around 12:30 a.m. and found the the bodies of the two deceased children.
Officers also located Singler and her 11-year-old daughter at the scene. They were both injured and taken to hospitals for treatment, according to Colorado Springs Police Department spokesperson Ira Cronin.
Singler’s injuries were minor. The 11-year-old girl was hospitalized for a few days and then released. She is recovering well physically in Colorado Springs. Cronin said he could not release details about how the children or Singler were injured.
Police said the initial report of a burglary was unfounded.
Singler was initially cooperative with police investigating the homicides and alleged burglary. She went missing after the probe, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
“In the initial stages of the investigation, we were treating her as a victim of a burglary,” Cronin told the Associated Press.
On Dec. 26, investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Singler on multiple charges, including multiple counts of first degree murder, child abuse and assault.
The children’s deaths came amid an ongoing legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, according to court filings. Court hearings had been scheduled for next month.
