The Kansas City Chiefs have officially clinched the AFC West division and the playoffs after the Week 17 victory over Ja’Marr Chase and the Cincinnati Bengals — offering the perfect response for the superstar wide receiver’s pregame comments.
And if the win wasn’t enough, several Chiefs defenders added exclamation points throughout the postgame celebration, including defensive team leader Chris Jones.
“They counted us out. Told us we were done for. Another AFC West championship in the books. To be continued,” Jones voiced in an on-field message to fans (shared by NFL UK on X), adding: “And Ja’Marr Chase, errrr, try again.”
Later, Jones told reporters that “we don’t comment [on trash talk]. We just play, man. We don’t really talk. We don’t engage with the back-and-forth. They do this every year.”
Cornerback L’Jarius Sneed also spoke with the media after Week 17. “We had some words,” the DB admitted, concluding: “Check the stats.” Chase and Sneed battled head-to-head most of the outing, which included a physical skirmish involving the two players.
Jones and Sneed weren’t the only Chiefs dunking on Chase after the victory though. Cornerback Jaylen Watson stated the following about the wideout on X: “40 yards is crazy to talk so much. Sneed’s top 3 and not 3.”
“From the crib (Cincinnati) we don’t talk and not back it up… but aye 🤷🏾♂️,” safety Mike Edwards weighed in. And fellow safety Justin Reid posted a GIF of a cat eating out of a tuna can, referencing a previous beef between Chase and Reid.
Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase Laughs off Chiefs Loss After ‘Trash Talking’
As you’d expect, Chase’s locker was a popular spot for Bengals media after the New Year’s Eve outing. WCPO’s Marshall Kramsky shared video of the Q&A.
“I don’t know what he was doing,” Chase said, regarding the altercation with Sneed. “I just be under people’s skin sometimes, I guess, you know what I’m saying? The M-F-er won’t fight me so it’s alright.”
The wideout equated the pushing and the flags to “trash talking,” adding that Sneed “can’t handle it.”
He and fellow wide receiver Tee Higgins then burst out laughing. Chase finished by joking that the “whole [Chiefs] defense was mad at him.” Wonder why.
Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase Started Smack Talk in Week 17, But Failed to Finish It
Chase kicked off the Week 17 trash talk unprovoked, telling Bengals media members that “nothing” stands out about the KC secondary.
“[The Chiefs] just know how to play us,” he continued on December 28. “They know the leverages. They know what splits we in. [And] they just know what we going to do [in] certain moments. They throw a little double doubles at us to stop the two best players on our side and that’s all they do. It’s not really like they got a Jalen Ramsey on they squad.”
During the exchange, Chase did call Sneed Kansas City’s “best player” before disrespecting the rest of the secondary. “It’s not like they got a superstar on they defense,” he stressed throughout the interview.
At the end of the chat with reporters, Chase even challenged KC, stating: “They gon’ take this [and] run with it — I hope they post it in they locker. It’s alright though. As long as I’m mentally ready to play.”
In the end, the Chiefs appeared to use Chase’s words as extra motivation. The big-play threat finished with just three catches for 41 yards as the Bengals were defeated by a score of 25-17. | https://heavy.com/sports/kansas-city-chiefs/jamarr-chase-chris-jones-sneed-bengals/ | 2024-01-01T03:23:56Z |

The Detroit Lions 20-19 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday night featured one of the most controversial endings in NFL history after a successful two-point conversion from Detroit appeared to be incorrectly called back for a penalty on Taylor Decker for failing to report himself to the referees as an eligible receiver. As it turns out, there was another missed call before this that could have prevented this play from even happening.
The Lions had their go-ahead two-point conversion wiped off the board with just 23 seconds left in the game, but right before the two-minute warning, the Cowboys had a pretty notable call against them too. On a play where Dallas' tight end Peyton Hendershot was flagged for tripping Detroit's Aidan Hutchinson, video was found that showed it was Hutchinson who actually tried to trip Hendershot, which should have given Dallas more yards instead of taking a seven-yard Tony Pollard run off the board.
A missed call late in Saturday night's game between the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys led to an even higher-profile error in what has escalated into the latest and most egregious example that the NFL has an officiating issue.
The latest controversy surrounding referee Brad…— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 31, 2023
Here is video of that initial first-down play, reviewed by ESPN, showing that Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson — not Cowboys TE Hendershot — should have been the one flagged for attempting to trip Tony Pollard. Instead, Dallas penalized. pic.twitter.com/fkCuF3ChW6

Fans have been upset with the officiating in the NFL all season long, and this video certainly won't help the refs, particularly Brad Allen and his crew, get much support from the league. Allen's crew had already been getting reviewed for making mistakes in other games this season, and after blowing these calls on a pretty big stage, it's safe to say the league isn't going to be too happy with what they have seen here.
Had this play been called correctly, the Cowboys likely could have milked the clock even more, and kicked a field goal to put themselves up by ten points, which would have made a potential touchdown irrelevant. Instead, Allen and his crew opened a can of worms that involved one of the most controversial calls of all time, and it will be interesting to see what the fallout from these calls ends up being. | https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-missed-tripping-call-brad-allen-emerges-could-have-prevented-controversial-two-point-conversion | 2024-01-01T03:24:02Z |

Zika-resistant mosquitoes engineered by Australian researchers
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) said on Wednesday that it has successfully engineered mosquitoes resistant to spreading the deadly virus.
Zika virus, named after Uganda's Zika Forest, is spread by daytime-active Aeges aegypti mosquitoes.
It caused more than 4,000 birth defects worldwide in 2015 alone and remains a major threat to millions of people.
Researchers from the CSIRO and University of California San Diego found that injecting mosquito embryos with a synthetic anti-Zika gene prevented them from carrying the virus as adults.
"Our study found the mosquitoes with an anti-Zika gene were unable to pick up Zika when they fed, so they were incapable of spreading the virus to anybody else," CSIRO Senior Research Scientist and paper co-author Prasad Paradkar said in a statement on Wednesday.
"With further investigation, this mosquito could potentially one day be used to replace populations of wild Aedes aegypti, adding to the arsenal of control strategies against this mosquito to halt the virus' spread around the world."
Zika has not spread to Australia but the invasive Aedes aegypti has established itself in the nation's tropical north.
"Infection during pregnancy can cause life-threatening complications to a fetus or newborn baby, including birth defects such as microcephaly," Paradkar said.
"With increased globalization and international travel, the virus is capable of making it to Australian shores someday - so we're collaborating with international partners to find innovative ways to reduce the risk both to Australians and to people around the world." | https://en.inform.kz/amp/zika-resistant-mosquitoes-engineered-by-australian-researchers_a3495614/ | 2024-01-01T03:24:07Z |
The Detroit Lions came up just short against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday night, suffering a 20-19 loss after failing to convert a two-point conversion three times. However, many folks believe that Brad Allen and the refs made an incorrect call by ruling Taylor Decker as an ineligible receiver on the first attempt, which would have been successful if it weren't for the penalty. After the game, Allen took a second to explain the decision.
Whenever an offensive lineman goes out for a pass as a receiver, they have to report as eligible so that the referees know that they can go out and catch a pass instead of just sitting on the line and blocking. Allen claimed that Decker did not report as eligible, while Dan Skipper did, leading his crew to throw a flag to negate the play.
Pool report: Referee Brad Allen told @calvinwatkins that No. 70 (Dan Skipper) reported and No. 68 (Taylor Decker) did not.
He's sticking by that story.
Here's the full report: https://t.co/7Zjt3gds6y pic.twitter.com/yTlqySlJRP
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) December 31, 2023
The Lions ended up tricking Brad Allen into penalizing them
Allen's explanation is somewhat confusing, because Decker said after the game that he reported as eligible, while Skipper said that he didn't. As it turns out, this was a designed bit of trickery from Campbell, who wanted Skipper to fake reporting as eligible to throw off the Cowboys. He outlined this idea to the refs before the game, but they still ended up falling for the trick themselves, and it cost Detroit the game.
Decker reported eligible. Skipper faked reporting eligible. The ref fell for the fake and declared the wrong guy eligible even though he was told pregame about it. Human error occurs and that’s a wild one.
— Dan Wetzel (@DanWetzel) December 31, 2023
There have been a lot of wild endings to games throughout the NFL's storied history, but this is among the craziest of the bunch. Certainly that won't provide any solace to the Lions and their fans, especially since Allen is practically admitting he fell for Campbell's trick that was designed to fool the Cowboys. So it's probably safe to say that Allen and his crew won't be getting invited to Detroit anytime soon. | https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-ref-brad-allens-explanation-game-deciding-call-detroit-losing-it | 2024-01-01T03:24:08Z |

The refereeing in the NFL over the last few years has had some pretty bad moments. There's been way too many times where a referee seemed to get a pretty crucial call wrong. Saturday night between the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys featured one such error that cost one side a crucial win in the race for the number one seed in the NFC.
Brad Allen, the lead referee in the Lions-Cowboys game, is under immense fire for calling an illegal man downfield during Detroit's two-point game-winner attempt. The gist of it is that the referee claims that Taylor Decker, Detroit's starting left tackle, did not declare himself as an eligible receiver. However, Detroit claims that Decker called himself eligible, and the video footage supports that as well.
Unfortunately for the sport, this isn't the only time Brad Allen has been under fire this season. Remember that Packers-Chiefs game this month that ended with a brutal sequence of botched calls on both sides? Well, Allen and his crew were also the ones surveilling that match. It turns out that the crew were already “under scrutiny” due to the ending of the game, per Adam Schefter. After this Lions-Cowboys game, they're in even more hot water.
“The officiating crew that did not call a blatant and potentially game-deciding pass interference penalty during Sunday night's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers game missed a similar call one week earlier in Atlanta on a play that harkened back to one of the most controversial non-calls in NFL history.”
Yes, you're reading that right. Allen has been in at least two games where he missed some critical calls that changed the outcome of the game. Why the NFL allowed the Allen to officiate a game as crucial as the Lions-Cowboys game in anyone's guess. This frankly is unacceptable for the NFL.
Allen maintains that it was a different Lions lineman that declared to be eligible during the game. However, the video evidence corroborates both Decker, Dan Campbell, and Jared Goff's claim that it was the former that declared himself as an eligible receiver. Much can be made about Campbell's ultra-aggressive playcalling costing them the game. However, you can't deny that the Lions were absolutely robbed of this game. | https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-referee-crucial-call-cowboys-under-scrutiny-blown-calls | 2024-01-01T03:24:14Z |

Detroit Lions offensive tackle Taylor Decker did his best to shed light on what happened on the controversial two-point conversion that wasn't in the team's 20-19 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
“I mean, all I really wanna say on it, just so I don't get myself into trouble is, I mean I did exactly what the coach told me to do,” Decker told reporters after the loss, courtesy of the Detroit News' Nolan Bianchi. “I went to the ref and said ‘report.'”
Decker was adamant that not only did he follow proper procedure on the play in question, but that the refs were tipped off by the Lions as to what was coming.
“It was my understanding that Dan brings up the possibility of those sorts of plays pre-game. So, I did what I was told to do and did how we did it in practice all week.”
Lions-Cowboys ends in controversy, confusion
The play in question occurred after a 11-yard touchdown pass from QB Jared Goff to WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Lions coach Dan Campbell attempted to then clinch a victory with a two-point conversion. That's where things got messy.
It appeared that the Lions had taken the lead when Goff his Decker with a pass to give Detroit a one-point lead.
But Decker was ruled ineligible by the refs. The confusion arose as to whether Decker or backup lineman Dan Skipper had reported as eligible on the play.
After the game, referee Brad Allen claimed that Skipper reported (despite not needing to), but that Decker did not (despite being required to in order to be an eligible receiver.)
The Lions tried another two-point conversion and drew an offsides flag on the Cowboys. On try number three, a Goff pass intended for James Mitchell fell incomplete, sealing the victory for the Cowboys. | https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-taylor-decker-explains-reporting-fiasco-controversial-penalty | 2024-01-01T03:24:20Z |

The Detroit Lions battled the Dallas Cowboys in Texas on Saturday night in a matchup between two likely playoff-bound teams.
Prior to the game the Lions' potential nightmare matchups for the playoffs were revealed. Lions QB Jared Goff sent a message to the team's fans following the franchise's NFC North Division title.
Lions Spring Trap on Cowboys Special Teams
The Lions hit the Cowboys with a fake punt in their own end of the field as 2017 fourth-round pick Jalen Reeves-Maybin took the direct snap. Reeves-Maybin showed off an accurate arm as he threw a perfect pass down the sideline that led to a big gain for Detroit.
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman had the call from Dallas as the Lions' special teams went to work.
The Lions execute the FAKE PUNT 🔥
— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) December 31, 2023
The Lions' last franchise playoff win came in 1991 against the Cowboys, a time when Barry Sanders, Herman Moore, Erik Kramer and others led one of the most talented offenses in the National Football League.
Goff had zero touchdowns and an interception late the fourth quarter on Saturday night, but running back David Montgomery picked up the slack with 64 yards on the ground and a touchdown against Micah Parsons and the Cowboys defense as of the third quarter.
Hutchinson Brings the Heat on Defense
Aidan Hutchinson recorded two sacks for the Detroit defense against one of the best offensive lines in the National Football League.
He went up against eight-time Pro Bowler Tyron Smith, who's been battling injuries lately, and got the better of him in numerous key matchups leading to thrilled reactions from Lions fans.
Hutchinson has been near the top in QB pressures this season, and cashed in with sacks on Saturday night vs. Dallas.

About 1 one in five workers aged 65 and older were employed in 2023, according to a December survey from the Pew Research Center.
That is double the share of those working 35 years ago.
The average wage for workers older than 65 is also on the rise, with the typical worker earning $22 an hour in 2022 compared to $13 an hour in 1987.
Earnings for younger workers have not grown as much, narrowing the wage gap between young and older workers.
Older workers are also working more hours than 36 years ago, are more likely to have a four-year college degree and are more likely to be receiving employer-sponsored benefits, including pension plans and health insurance.
Workers older than 65 also report higher job satisfaction and find work less stressful than their younger counterparts.
In 2023, older workers accounted for 7% of the job market — more than triple the share in 1987.
According to Pew, Americans older than 75 are the fastest growing group in the workforce. | https://www.beckersasc.com/asc-news/workers-65-and-older-are-the-workforces-fastest-growing-demographic.html | 2024-01-01T03:24:29Z |

The officials working Los Angeles Lakers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night did not feel like giving LeBron James an additional cause for celebration on his 39th birthday.
LeBron's potentially game-tying 3-pointer — amid a furious last-gasp rally — was deemed a two-pointer on the floor by the officiating crew at the Target Center. Upon an extended review, the NBA replay center let the call stand, despite replays appearing to show that LeBron's toe was a hair behind the arc.
“Sooooooooooooooo!!!!! WTF. Helluva Happy Bday gift to me. 🤦🏾♂️”
Should this have been a 3 or a 2 by LeBron James late in the Lakers loss?

— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) December 31, 2023
LeBron and Anthony Davis — invoking the ghost of Patrick Beverley — pointed to the replay monitor with dismay. Lead official Tony Brothers was not interested.
chaos https://t.co/VwFY6ULByr pic.twitter.com/2RNGP7kisV
— Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) December 31, 2023
“What's the point of having replay if even the replay gets it wrong,” said LeBron, apparently unfamiliar with the villainous ways VAR is torturing world football. “It's obviously a 3. My foot is behind the line. You can see the space between the front of my foot and the 3-point line. … Stevie Wonder could see that, champ.”
“It's a 3. A clear-cut 3,” agreed Davis. “Foot was behind the line.”
The Lakers stars said they confronted a different official on the floor who deflected to Secaucus.
“Somebody over there eating a ham sandwich made the call,” added LeBron.
“The view I had it looked like a clear-cut 3,” Darvin Ham said. “They replayed it. Our guys on the sideline replayed it and thought it was a good 3. But, they have people in other places looking at it very closely and, although I don't agree with it, we have to live with it.”
In his pool report, Brothers said the evidence was not “clear and conclusive enough” to support an overturn.
The screenshot of LeBron’s foot outside the line serves no purpose because it doesn’t show when the ball left his hands. Here’s a more accurate replay for you to decide. It’s close for sure. pic.twitter.com/tX38xTvQNi
— Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) December 31, 2023
Los Angeles trailed Minnesota, 107-100, when LeBron converted a difficult floater over Jaden McDaniels with 31.0 seconds remaining, drawing a personal and technical foul. Mike Conley Jr. missed a triple, Davis grabbed the board and found LeBron, who pulled up in transition — one centimeter too late. The Lakers regained possession with 1.1 seconds left, only for LeBron to attack the paint but fail to get a shot off (he thought there was contact but understood the no-call there, too).
“It's super frustrating in the sense of like, what the hell do we have replay for if even the replay gets it wrong,” steamed LeBron. “Who's a part of the replay center? Like the robots in there making the Teslas? Is what's going on?
“It's clear, everyone could see it. So, it doesn't make sense. And that's a tie game, we're fighting for our asses, playing the number one team in the West right now.”
James — a game-time decision (non-COVID illness) — finished with 26 points (10-for-21 shooting) and six assists.
Davis was dominant: 33 points, 17 rebounds, eight assists, four steals, two blocks. Considering his performance came against Rudy Gobert and included maybe the block of the year, he undoubtedly strengthened his Defensive Player of the Year case.
Good bet this block ends up leading or ending future Anthony Davis Defensive Player of the Year highlight packages pic.twitter.com/ypbHwYuYag

The Lakers, though, lost a close one on the road against the top seed in the Western Conference (for the second time in 10 days) because LeBron and AD didn't get enough offensive help. No other Lakers player scored in double-figures. Austin Reaves shot 2-for-11. Rui Hachimura was 2-for-8. D'Angelo Russell was 1-for-4 when he exited in the third quarter with a tailbone contusion. Los Angeles shot 7-for-24 (29.2%) from long-range. The no-show from the supporting cast negated an off-night for Karl-Anthony Towns (nine points, five turnovers, five fouls).
The Lakers (17-16) have lost seven of 10 games. There is an illness running through the locker room. They'll face the New Orleans Pelicans on the second leg of a road back-to-back tomorrow. Happy New Year.
“I feel like sh*t right now,” LeBron said, ostensibly talking about his physical condition. | https://clutchpoints.com/los-angeles-lakers-news-lebron-james-anthony-davis-nba-minnesota-timberwolves | 2024-01-01T03:24:32Z |

To bring in the New Year, the Wisconsin Badgers will face the No. 13 LSU Tigers in the ReliaQuest Bowl in Tampa Bay, FL. It will be only the fifth time these teams have faced one another with the series in the Tigers' favor, 3-1, meeting last in 2016.
Wisconsin football will be bowling for a 22nd consecutive time, which ranks third right behind Oklahoma (25) and Georgia (27) as the longest streak in college football. The Badgers have also won eight out of their last nine bowl games with their last loss going back to 2019 in the Rose Bowl against Oregon.
In a bit of a rebuild under first-year head coach Luke Fickell out of Cincinnati, it took until the next to last week of the season for the Badgers (7-5) to earn bowl eligibility with an overtime win over Nebraska, followed by a win over Minnesota the next week. Not counting the 2020 pandemic-impacted season, this was the worst win-loss season in Madison since 2008 when they finished 7-6.
The Tigers are bowling for a third consecutive season and their second time under Brian Kelly earning a bid to the ReliaQuest Bowl (former Outback Bowl). LSU (9-3) has a chance for their second consecutive 10-win season with a win over the Badgers, which would be their first since 2018 and 2019.
The Badgers and Tigers will be just one of six bowl matchups featuring the Big Ten versus the SEC during this bowl game season. Which conference will get the edge? Let's get into some bold predictions for the ReliaQuest Bowl.

Can Garrett Nussmeier have a Miller Moss type of day against Wisconsin?
For those who didn't see or hear about it, Miller Moss played in place of Caleb Williams as USC's quarterback in the Holiday Bowl against Louisville. He threw for a Holiday Bowl-record six touchdowns in his first start. Can Nussmeier do something similar against the Badgers?
Nussmeier, of course, will be filling in for Heisman winner Jayden Daniels, who has chosen to opt-out and focus on the NFL Draft. Nussmeier is a former four-star recruit and should be able to be a nice transition, at least for the bowl game, from Daniels. Plus, he'll have a talented corps of receivers to work with. Wisconsin tended to struggle against higher-powered offenses this season. Nussmeier could throw three or more touchdowns at least.
Running game becomes the story of the game for LSU and Wisconsin
It will be interesting to see what LSU football looks like offensively without Daniels, who was not only an elite passer but was also the leading rusher for the Tigers with 1,134 yards. The next closest rusher was Logan Diggs with 652 yards.
For the Badgers, who, though they're working their way towards making themselves a more Air-Raid offense, the majority of their offense came off the run game this season while in the transition. Two of Wisconsin's leading running backs will be out in the ReliaQuest Bowl in Braelon Allen (opt-out) and Chez Mellusi (injury). Even though LSU's defense averaged giving up 163.5 yards per game this season, not having their premier backs could drastically stifle their offense.
LSU football holds Wisconsin to 210 yards of total offense, beating them by double-digits
As bad as LSU's defense was this season that allowed 417.3 yards per game that ranked 102nd in the country, they were able to hold a few teams to around 200 yards of total offense. In fact, they held one Power-5 team to 201 yards in SEC rival Mississippi State. With opt-outs, injuries, and an offense in transition, not to mention the talent differential, LSU could have one of their best defensive days of the 2023 season and handily beat the Badgers. | https://clutchpoints.com/lsu-wisconsin-predictions-reliaquest-bowl | 2024-01-01T03:24:38Z |

Luther Ford, who plays Prince Harry on The Crown, admitted that he auditioned due to a text message.
His brother's girlfriend is the one who inspired Ford to try out for the part, Entertainment Weekly reports.
Luther Ford reveals how he auditioned for the part of Prince Harry
He revealed this on Instagram, where he put up a screengrab of the text that pushed him towards the part. It included a link to the casting call to play Prince Harry. The note on it said, “Luther this could be your moment.”
“Hahaha, my time has come. I don't know if the resemblance is strong enough,” he replied.
She wrote back, “Doesn't hurt to try.”
View this post on Instagram
He used those words as the caption for the post as well. “‘Doesn't hurt to try.' Wise words.”
The Instagram post also includes his photo and the real Prince Harry from a newsreel that says, “The Crown's teen Prince Harry actor revealed as cast film Queen Mother's funeral scenes.”
There's also a photo of him hanging out on a patio without his shirt on. Also, there's one of him looking up at a billboard for The Crown, which looks like it's from a studio lot. He's also holding hands with someone.
The Crown's final season is streaming now on Netflix. It features Prince William (Ed McVey) and Prince Harry as they become the poster children for royalty. Also, it depicts Diana's death (played by Elizabeth Debicki) and much more.
It's a good thing Luther Ford looked at that text message and clicked the link. His career is thankful. | https://clutchpoints.com/luther-ford-of-the-crown-surprising-audition-admission | 2024-01-01T03:24:44Z |
An Ocklahawa man and his fellow suspect were nabbed in a boat burglary at a marina.
A woman who oversees night security at the Salt Springs Marina got an alert on her phone at about 3 a.m. Thursday and saw images of two men walking on the dock and boarding a boat, according to an arrest report from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
A deputy arrived on the scene and saw the men get into a white truck and flee the marina. A chase ensued and reached 95 miles per hour before the pickup hit a tree. One of the men attempted to flee on foot, but was quickly apprehended.
The men were identified 20-year-old Deano Chance Littlefield of Ocklawaha and 28-year-old Dylan Nicholas Brockett of Silver Springs. Deputies found that the pair had attempted to steal a motor from a Carolina Skiff and stole a gas tank from a pontoon boat.
Both men were arrested on charges including burglary, theft, fleeing to elude law enforcement and resisting arrest. Littlefield was booked on $85,000 bond at the Marion County Jail. Brockett was booked on $58,000. Both men have criminal histories. | https://www.villages-news.com/2023/12/31/ocklahawa-man-and-fellow-suspect-nabbed-in-boat-burglary-at-marina/ | 2024-01-01T03:24:47Z |

DALLAS, Texas — Trailblazing longtime U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, a nurse from Texas who helped bring hundreds of millions of federal dollars to the Dallas area as the region's most powerful Democrat, died Sunday. She was 88.
President Joe Biden, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and many other leaders issued statements about her death after her son posted about it on Facebook. The Dallas Morning News also confirmed her death with an unnamed source close to the family. No cause of death was given.
Biden hailed her "immense courage" and called her "an icon and mentor to generations of public servants, through whom her legacy of resilience and purpose will endure."
"She was the single most effective legislator Dallas has ever had," the mayor said in a statement. "Nobody brought more federal infrastructure money home to our city. Nobody fought harder for our communities and our residents' interests and safety. And nobody knew how to navigate Washington better for the people of Dallas."
Eddie Bernice Johnson served in the House for three decades after becoming the first registered nurse elected to Congress and first Black chief psychiatric nurse at Dallas' Veterans Affairs hospital. She went on to become the first Black woman to chair the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, and she also led the Congressional Black Caucus. She left office in January after repeatedly delaying her retirement. Before Congress, she served in the Texas legislature.
"For three decades, Chairwoman Johnson was a powerful force in the United States Congress, always focused on the future," House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi said in a statement, praising Johnson as "a tenacious trailblazer, a talented legislator and a devoted public servant."
Johnson used her committee leadership position to fight against Republican efforts to block action on climate change. Congressional Black Caucus Chair Steven Horsford said Johnson was also "a fierce advocate for expanding STEM opportunities to Black and minority students" who also played a key role in helping the Biden administration pass a major package of incentives for computer chip manufacturers.
She was born in Waco and grew up in the segregated South. Dallas' once-segregated Union Station was renamed in her honor in 2019.
Her own experience with racism helped spur her to get involved in politics. She recalled that officials at the VA hospital were shocked that she was Black after they hired her sight-unseen, so they rescinded their offer for her to live in a dorm on campus. She told The Dallas Morning News in 2020 that officials would go into patients' rooms ahead of her to "say that I was qualified."
"That was really the most blatant, overt racism that I ever experienced in my life," she told the newspaper.
Johnson nearly quit but decided to stick with it.
"It was very challenging," she said. "But any job where you're an African American woman entering for the first time would be a challenge. They had not hired one before I got there. Yes, it was a challenge, but it was a successful venture."

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones tip-toed around talk of their acrimonious split almost 30 years ago, when they had just teamed as coach and owner to win consecutive Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys.
Whether that breakup was the reason it took Jones so long to put Johnson in the team’s ring of honor doesn’t matter much at this point to both Pro Football Hall of Famers.
The bottom line is Johnson is joining Tom Landry as the only coaches alongside the 19 players and two executives in the exclusive group of one of the NFL’s storied franchises.
Johnson was greeted by the Hall of Fame “Triplets” who headlined his Super Bowl teams — quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith and receiver Michael Irvin — for the ceremony at halftime of Saturday night’s regular-season home finale against the Detroit Lions.
“Thank you, Jerry Jones, for bringing me to the Dallas Cowboys,” Johnson told the crowd.
Johnson capped his acceptance speech with a dramatic pause as he walked up to Irvin, turned and offered his famous catchphrase, “How ’bout them Cowboys!” He said it the first time in the locker room after Dallas won at San Francisco in the NFC championship game before the first Super Bowl victory.
“You can say whatever you want to about my human reaction or frailties,” Jones said before the game. “I say this today, he’s there because it’s the right thing. He was always going in the ring of honor, whether I put him in or my kids put him in.”
One of the theories behind the abrupt end of Johnson’s tenure in 1994 was a tussle over who should get credit for the dramatic turnaround in Dallas.
The Cowboys went from 1-15 in 1989 — the year Jones bought the Cowboys and hired Johnson after firing the only coach Dallas ever had in Landry — to the first back-to-back Super Bowl titles in franchise history to cap the 1992 and ’93 seasons.
“I think we’re past who gets credit,” Johnson said. “The two of us, working together, made history. When I say working together, we talked every single day. I don’t ever recall us having a difference of opinion.”
Others would suggest Johnson’s take is revisionist history, because he was incensed 30 years ago over suggestions from Jones, also the team’s general manager, that any one of 500 coaches could have won a title with the Dallas roster.
Barry Switzer did it two years after the split of Jones and Johnson, who were teammates at Arkansas in the early 1960s. But critics never stopped suggesting the 1995 title was with Johnson’s players, and the Cowboys haven’t even reached an NFC championship game since that season.
Aikman was working the game as an analyst for ESPN and hustled down from the broadcast booth to join the ceremony. He stood with Irvin and Smith during the presentation, which started with Johnson walking through a greeting line of dozens of players from his Super Bowl run.
“It means everything to me and my teammates and everybody that was a part of those teams,” Aikman said on ESPN during the first half. “And the circle has been closed tonight at halftime.”
After two years away from football, Johnson returned with the Miami Dolphins in 1996 and led them to the playoffs the last three of his four seasons. But Miami never got past the divisional round.
The 80-year-old Johnson, a Texas native, has been a Fox studio analyst the past two decades and was enshrined in Canton, Ohio, in 2020, three years after Jones.
Now Johnson’s name will be inside AT&T Stadium along with Landry, who led the Cowboys to two Super Bowl titles in the 1970s and is fifth on the career list with 250 regular-season victories.
“I don’t think anybody can ever imagine what this means to me,” said Johnson, who won the 1987 college national championship at Miami. “This was a special time in my life. This was something that paid dividends for me the rest of my life. We took over the worst football team in the NFL. Not only did we win Super Bowls, but we were able to put together the team of the ’90s.”
Because of that, the split left many, including Johnson’s players, wondering what might have been had he stayed. Not only is Johnson past the question of credit, he doesn’t think much about “what ifs” either.
“Sometimes I’m kind of like a gypsy,” Johnson said. “I’ve never been anywhere more than five years. Got the point after winning a couple of Super Bowls, almost to the point of, ‘I’ve accomplished what I want to accomplish.’ Sometimes you lose sight of what you can do because of what you’ve already done.”
Johnson suggested he and Jones weren’t communicating as well at the end of their time together in Dallas as they had at the beginning, when they both faced a firestorm of criticism.
Jones suggested he let the sudden success of the Cowboys go to his head.
“What Jimmy brings is a lot of the best of me, enthusiasm, what have you,” Jones recalled telling his parents just before the split became public in 1994. “When it’s going the other way, I don’t like myself. It’s taking away from it. That mentality probably caused me to be not as tolerant as maybe we could have gone.”
A sense of closure for many of those issues was coming a few hours later.

We're set to bring you yet another prediction and pick for today's full slate of NBA action on New Year's Eve. This next game takes us to the desert as we'll see the surging Orlando Magic (19-12) take on the Phoenix Suns (16-15) as both teams try to build some momentum following their wins. Check out our NBA odds series for our Magic-Suns prediction and pick.
The Orlando Magic are currently leading the Southeast Division and they're sitting in fifth-place in the Eastern Conference standings. They've been one of the surprises of the season so far, but they come into this game having split their last 10 at 5-5. They've seen a downward trend over the last week, but they have a great opportunity to stun the Suns as road underdogs.
The Phoenix Suns are third in the Pacific Division and they're positioned in ninth-place in the Western standings. They've gone 4-6 with some tough losses over their last 10 games, but they come into this one riding back-to-back wins against the Houston Rockets and Charlotte Hornets. Look for them to keep rolling as the favorites in this matchup.
Here are the NBA odds, courtesy of FanDuel.
NBA Odds: Magic-Suns Odds
Orlando Magic: +6 (-114)
Phoenix Suns: -6 (-106)
Over: 231.5 (-110)
Under: 231.5 (-110)

Why The Magic Could Cover The Spread
The Orlando Magic have been one of the most fun teams to watch develop this season and it's great to see a young team having so much success this early into their campaign. They continue to build their chemistry with each passing game and their lineup plays very complementary to each other. Paolo Banchero has become a sure-scorer and his post moves are some of the most lethal in our game today. Against a Suns team that has had trouble stopping interior scorers, Banchero could see some success tonight if he's able to play with his same aggression and attack the rim. Look for Franz Wagner and Cole Anthony to be waiting on the three-point line for their opportunities.
While the spread weighs in favor of the Suns, the Magic have been a decent road team this season at 7-8 and could certainly stand to make this a close contest. They may have trouble finding someone to guard Kevin Durant effectively while still stopping Bradley Beal and Devin Booker, but the Magic rank fourth league-wide in steals per game and could do a ton of damage with their defense if they play with tenacity and hustle on that end of the floor. Jalen Suggs has been hot from three and his defense has been improving each time he steps out – look for him to be a big part of their game plan moving forward.
Why The Suns Could Cover The Spread
The Suns are happy to finally be returning Bradley Beal to their lineup and his presence resulted in an immediate win for his squad. The Suns looked great against the Hornets in their last game as they cruised to a 133-119 win. Bradley Beal saw a ton of action in 30 minutes of game time, but he managed to walk away with just six points. Still, he had a noticeable impact off the ball and added seven assists while serving as a facilitator to scorers like Devin Booker. Booker led the game with 35 points and seven assists of his own, so it's clearly a case of “pick your poison” for opponents looking to beat the Phoenix Suns.
To get this win against the Magic, the Suns will have to ignite their scoring and have another big total in this game. The Magic are capable of keeping up with most teams in high-scoring affairs, but it'll be nearly impossible to stop all the Suns' playmakers if they can get their shooting going. Bradley Beal is still easing himself into the lineup, but expect him to slowly return to his All-Star form and begin making impacts for this team. As long as they can stay healthy for the majority of the season, the Suns should be cruising their way to a playoff spot with their full squad.
Final Magic-Suns Prediction & Pick
This should be a close game as indicated by the betting lines and these spreads should be getting a bit wider for the Phoenix Suns now that Bradley Beal in back in their lineup. It may take some time to get adjusted, but I expect Beal to work his way back slowly and eventually become the dangerous scoring threat we've known him to be. He should have a more productive game scoring the ball this time around and it should be enough for them to cover this spread. Let's ride Phoenix with our final prediction.
Final Magic-Suns Prediction & Pick: Phoenix Suns -6 (-106) | https://clutchpoints.com/magic-vs-suns-prediction-odds-pick-how-to-watch-12-31-2023 | 2024-01-01T03:24:50Z |

As the year comes to a close and we ring in the new year with the CFB playoffs, what better way to close things out than with a new mock draft? Many players might be sitting out their bowl games, but there’s still plenty of star-power in the CFB playoff. Between Washington, Texas, Alabama, and Michigan, this year’s CFB playoff should be one of pure excitement.
Image: The Columbus Dispatch
1. Chicago Bears (via Carolina) – Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
Team Needs: WR, OG, CB, C, OT
Receivers like Harrison don’t come around often. But when they do, no pick is too high for their talents. It isn’t 100% yet that he’ll declare for the draft with how much he’s being offered in NIL sponsorships next year. But if he does, don’t expect him to stay on the board for long.
Image: Sports Illustrated
2. New England Patriots – Caleb Williams, QB, USC
Team Needs: QB, OT, WR, Edge, CB
The Patriots are in a heap of a mess right now. However, reports surfaced last week that the Patriots and Belichick are mutually going to part ways at the season’s end. If this is the case, it could mean a new era in New England. An era their new HC will probably want to usher in with his own QB.
Image: Reading Eagle
3. Arizona Cardinals – Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State
Team Needs: DT, CB, C, WR, OT
The Cardinals are arguably in more of a mess than the Patriots are. While they have their QB, Murray’s commitment to the game has been in question for the past year. Still, even though they need help all over, it isn’t a bad start to solidify the OL.
Image: Star Tribune
4. Washington Commanders – Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
Team Needs: Edge, LB, LG, C, WR
Although a disappointing season has led the Commanders to part ways with key defensive players such as Montez Sweat and Chase Young, it doesn’t appear to be a total wash with how Sam Howell’s been playing. It isn’t guaranteed that he’s the future of the Washington franchise, but it’d be a waste to not give him a fair shot. However, giving him a fair shot would involve having an OL that can protect him which Washington can do by selecting Joe Alt.
Image: Alabama Athletics
5. Chicago Bears – JC Latham, OT, Alabama
Team Needs: WR, OG, CB, C, OT
Justin Fields is making it very difficult for people to wonder what they’ll do in the draft. Many think they should move on from Fields, but he’s been playing great as of recent. Drake Maye might be a good QB, but with their current makings, JC Latham would do more for the team than a new QB would.
Image: Oregon State Athletics
6. New York Jets – Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State
Team Needs: OT, S, WR, IDL, IOL
The Jets have officially sidelined Roders for the remainder of the season further indicating they’re all in on next year. If this is the case, something has to be done about their offensive line. Fuaga is one of the most underrated OTs in this draft. He may not be up there with Alt and Fashanu, but he can still be the cornerstone for a team’s OL.
Image: Sports Illustrated
7. New York Giants – Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
Team Needs: IOL, QB, RT, CB, Edge
If this happens, what a strange occurrence that’d be. From what I’m aware of, never has there ever been five OTs selected in a row this high before. Yet, here we are. The Giants could also use Drake Maye, but with the extension Daniel Jones has, it’s too early to move on. Even if they were to move on from Jones, Tommy DeVito has captured the hearts of the Giants faithful despite being benched on Monday.
Image: Fox News
8. Los Angeles Chargers – Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
Team Needs: CB, IDL, LB, WR, RT
The Chargers have been a hot mess all season which will continue as they go into the offseason with no cap space. Insert Brock Bowers, you get a receiver who’s also a three-down TE. He can block, catch, act the part to sell plays, and is very good after the catch. Normally TEs don’t go this high, but Bowers is different as he’s one of the best overall players in the entire draft.
Image: 247 Sports
9. Tennessee Titans – Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
Team Needs: OT, Edge, WR, CB, S
The Titans could give Jeffrey Simmons some help on the defensive front, but as long as Vrabel’s the HC, expect their defense to be stout and physical no matter who’s playing. Their offense, on the other hand, will always be physical as well, but they need to do more to open things up downfield. Malik Nabers might not have the most complete route tree, but it isn’t limited. He’s an extraordinary athlete who can open things up for Chigoziem Okonkwo and Treylon Burks.
Image: AP News
10. Atlanta Falcons – Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
Team Needs: QB, Edge, SS, WR, LG
I’m not a huge believer that a QB alone can solve a team’s problems. However, with the Falcons, I could be persuaded. They have the makings of a decent OL and they have the youth and prowess on offense to beat teams. Their defense could use some additional pieces, but it isn’t their defense that’s losing them games. Heinicke is a fine QB that can win you some games, but he isn’t a franchise player. Drake Maye is who the Falcons need to win an already subpar division.
Image: Alabama Athletics
11. Green Bay Packers – Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama
Team Needs: OL, CB, TE, S, WR
Jaire Alexander is the cornerstone of the Packer’s backend but Eric Stokes hasn’t enjoyed the same season he did last year. There’s been a lot of rotating at the top CB spot, and currently it’s Terrion Arnold’s turn to reign supreme. Arnold is a solid cover man who isn’t afraid to be physical in run support. The Lions may have taken the division by storm, but the Packers might not be too far behind.
Image: Pro Football Network
12. Las Vegas Raiders – Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama
Team Needs: RT, CB, Edge, IDL, QB
Vegas could use a QB, but in Aidan O’Connell they trust. All phases of play seem to be clicking for the Raiders but their defense could still use help. Already featuring a terrific young talents in Nate Hobbs and Trevon Moehrig, McKinstry would add on to what is already a decent secondary.
Image: Greenville Online
13. Seattle Seahawks – Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson
Team Needs: IOL, OT, S, Edge, NCB
Nate Wiggins has been up and down draft boards this year thanks to his stellar play and defensive versatility. The Seahawks have a need specifically in the slot, and Nate Wiggins, with his length and athleticism, could help Seattle become the best young secondary in the NFL.

14. New Orleans Saints – Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State
Team Needs: OG, LT, QB, TE, WR
The Saints need LT help, but there isn’t one available who’s worthy of this selection with the earlier run on OTs. However, Keon Coleman is available which could make for an excellent WR trio along with Olave and Thomas.
Image: Windy City Gridiron
15. Denver Broncos – Dallas Turner, Edge, Alabama
Team Needs: CB, Edge, IDL, LB, TE
After an abysmal beginning to the season, the Broncos appear to be clicking. While it’s still not likely they make the playoffs, it’s a step in the right direction. While many might have them taking a CB, Cooper DeJean isn’t healthy enough to select here and this would be too much of a reach for any other CB prospect. Nevertheless, Dallas Turner could still transform Denver’s defense into one that terrorizes opposing offenses.

16. Pittsburgh Steelers – Jer’Zhan Newton, IDL, Illinois
Team Needs: CB, OT, WR, IDL, RB
Things are coming along well for the Steelers. It might not be the year fans wanted George Pickens, Najee Harris, or Kenny Pickett to have, but the team is playing well in a tough division. The offensive line could use work, but things always seemed to work out best for the Steelers when their defense was second to none. It’d be nice for them to pair someone with Joey Porter, but Jer’Zhan Newton at this pick is too good to pass up. Great at rushing the passer and defending the run, Newton will stall AFC North offenses for years.
Image: The Seattle Times
17. Arizona Cardinals (via Houston) – Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
Team Needs: DT, CB, C, WR, OT
Missing out on Marvin Harrison, the Cardinals were still fortunate to get the best OT in the draft. While I believe Odunze is the WR2 of this class, the reality is he could fall. Nevertheless, it would be a phenomenal draft for Arizona to get these two talents in the first round.
Image: University of Texas Athletics
18. Buffalo Bills – Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas
Team Needs: Edge, WR, CB, S, IDL
After Gabe Davis didn’t have the breakout year many expected him to have, the Bills turn to the draft to help open things up for Stefon Diggs. Dalton Kincaid performed well as a rookie, but in today’s game TEs can only do so much unless you’re Travis Kelce. With Devonta Smith, Tank Dell, and Jordan Addison, slim receivers are a bit of an “in” right now. The same should be expected of Xavier Worthy.
Image: The Daily Progress
19. Tampa Bay Bucaneers – Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa
Team Needs: OG, C, CB, TE, SS
Cooper DeJean’s injury might be troublesome, but his talent is still too good to let fall anymore. Before he was sidelined for the season, DeJean was the lifeblood of the Hawkeye team. His presence was felt on both defence and special teams and was the reason their units were so stout. It’ll be interesting to see how he tests at the combine and his pro-day if he can at all.
Image: Orlando Sentinel
20. Minnesota Vikings – Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
Team Needs: QB, IDL, RB, RT, CB
Kirk Cousins will hit the free agent market this offseason leaving the Vikings QB-less. Despite picking in the later first round, they’ll still have solid options available in Bo Nix, Michael Penix Jr., JJ McCarthey, and Jayden Daniels. While all are good in their own right, it’s difficult to pass up on the Heisman winner.
Image: 247 Sports
21. Los Angeles Rams – Laitu Latu, Edge, UCLA
Team Needs: CB, LT, Edge, LB, TE
The Rams are clicking at the exact right time. Their offense finally seems to have found its groove and Raheem Morris is showing once again why he should be a HC in the NFL. Still, the Rams defense could be better at the Edge position. Laitu Latu is one of the best Edges in this class. While the Rams will have their options at this pick, I don’t see them passing on someone who’s been playing in their backyard the past few years.
Image: Orlando Sentinel
22. Indianapolis Colts – Jared Verse, Edge, Florida State
Team Needs: CB, S, Edge, TE, WR
The Colts have taken the league by storm as they’re the seventh seed in the AFC playoff race. While Gus Bradley’s scheme benefits from depth in the secondary, it also operates best with a good line. JuJu Brents and Jaylon Jones have played good when healthy and Kenny Moore is as reliable as ever. Jared Verse, arguably the best Edge in his class, could take Indy’s defense to another level.
Image: Pro Football Network
23. Jacksonville Jaguars – Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia
Team Needs: Edge, IDL, CB, WR, S
Josh Allen is set to be a FA after the season which could prompt Jacksonville to take an Edge here. However, there’s still hope they extend or resign him which is why I give them Lassiter, who’s one of the best CBs this year. An impressive player, Lassiter’s held his own against some of the SEC’s best competition.
Image: ESPN
24. Cincinnati Bengals – Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas
Team Needs: IDL, TE, WR, IOL, RB
Tee Higgins will be a FA after the season and it doesn’t look like he’ll resign with Cincinnati. Luckily for the Bengals, a good WR should still be on the board which they get here with Mitchell. Should the Longhorn drop to here, he can step into the offense without missing a beat.
Image: Columbia Missourian
25. Kansas City Chiefs – Xavier Legette, WR, South Carolina
Team Needs: WR, IDL, OT, Edge, CB
The Chiefs need help at OT desperately. However, their recent success with day two and day three linemen has been impressive. Besides OT, the Chiefs could use another WR to complement Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice. Insert Xavier Legette, and Andy Reid gets an athletic specimen who’s ceiling is sky high.
Image: Auburn Wire
26. Houston Texans (via Cleveland) – DJ James, CB, Auburn
Team Needs: IDL, WR, CB, Edge, S
The Texans are another team who’ve taken the NFL by storm. Even though they might not make the playoffs, they don’t appear to be far from it. Give them DJ James in the draft, and you get a formidable young CB duo between him and Stingley.
Image: Philadelphia Inquirer
27. Dallas Cowboys – Jeremiah Trotter Jr., LB, Clemson
Team Needs: DT, LB, SS, RT, RB
With Leighton Vander Esch’s injury history, it’d be wise for Dallas to invest in depth at the position. Trotter has been amazing this season for Dabo Sweeney’s defense. He plays both downhill but also sideline to sideline in a way most LBs can’t. Letting him roam while Micah Parsons rushes could be the key to Dallas’s defensive success in the future.
Image: 247 Sports
28. Detroit Lions – Leonard Taylor III, IDL, Miami
Team Needs: DT, CB, S, Edge, LB
The Lions are one of those teams you don’t want to play against. They might not blow you out, but they play a brand of football that’s physically and mentally exhausting. If Detroit spends a draft pick Leonard Taylor, and this style of play is only emphasized further.
Image: K-State Athletics
29. Miami Dolphins – Cooper Beebe, IOL, Kansas State
Team Needs: LG, Edge, TE, IDL, LB
The Dolphin’s offense is fast and exciting. But their offensive line can stall that at times. Cooper Beebe is one of the smartest and most versatile linemen in this year’s draft. He’s a plug and play guy that could be the missing piece to take the Dolphins to the Super Bowl.
Image: The Columbus Dispatch
30. Philadelphia Eagles – JT Tuimoloau, Edge, Ohio State
Team Needs: CB, WR, LB, Edge, RB
You can have too much depth at some positions, but Edge isn’t one of them. Tuimoloau might not have had the season many hoped he’d have, but he’s still a lock to be picked in the first two rounds. Besides, with a defense already boasting Jalen Carter, Fletcher Cox, and Jordan Davis, Tuimoloau should be free in one on one situations.
Image: Deseret News
31. San Francisco 49ers – Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU
Team Needs: OG, RT, S, C, CB
The Niners need help in the backend of their defense. But their RT play has also been abysmal. Suamataia might be a bit more of a project than Niner fans would appreciate, but the makeup is there for a dominant RT. He’s big, strong, athletic, and moves very well for someone of his size.
Image: Yahoo Sports
32. Baltimore Ravens – Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon
Team Needs: CB, OG, WR, IDL, RB
The Ravens could use another CB, but you can feel their offense is almost peaking and I want to see more of it. The top WRs might be gone, but Troy Franklin is an extremely underrated wideout in this year’s draft. Insert Franklin and the Ravens could have the most threatening offense in the NFL.

With season two of What If…? freshly in the rearview mirror, it appears Marvel Studios isn't wasting time in looking toward the series' future in a new clip showcasing two returning characters and a third making his series debut.
The season three clip was posted to Marvel's YouTube channel shortly after the season finale of What If…? season two aired on Disney+, according to ScreenRant. In it, Bucky Barnes is joined by Red Guardian in what appears to be his series debut as the pair run afoul of police and Federal agents under the command of Ben Foster, aka Goliath.
Sebastian Stan and Laurence Fishburne return to voice Bucky and Goliath, respectively, while David Harbour provides the voice of Red Guardian in his first outing as the character since 2021's Black Widow.
While the preview did not provide a date for What If…?'s next season, the finished clip suggests that the wait may not be as long as some ivewers may have expected. Season one originally aired from August to October of 2021, followed by an over-two year gap between the season one finale and the start of season two.
Harbour's first outing as the Russian super soldier in the 2021 film was a near-instant hit with audiences for providing comic relief along with moments of earnestness with his makeshift family. He was already set to reprise the role for 2025's Thunderbolts, which will also feature Sebastian Stan as Bucky, as part of the titular team under the command of CIA Director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.
The team will also feature Harbour's Black Widow co-stars Florence Pugh and Olga Kurylenko as Yelena Belova and Taskmaster, respectively, alongside Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent and Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost.
What If…? season two is available to stream on Disney+. Thunderbolts is scheduled to release in theaters on July 25, 2025. | https://clutchpoints.com/marvel-offers-first-look-at-red-guardian-in-clip-for-what-if-season-3 | 2024-01-01T03:24:57Z |

20,000 people register to volunteer at Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019
The World Games' volunteer programme is the largest volunteer programme in the UAE, to date, and will see thousands of people from across the UAE and around the world, work alongside People of Determination to host the most unified Games in the 50-year history of the Special Olympics movement, WAM reports.
Emiratis are fully behind the movement, with over 40 percent of registered volunteers being UAE nationals. Indian and Egyptian nationals are the second and third most popular nationalities, respectively, to register.
Additionally, more than half (54 percent) of those who have registered to volunteer are female, a significant figure considering that the World Games will also feature a record breaking number of female athletes (more than 3,200).
Over 3,000 volunteers will help run the region's biggest cultural exchange programme ahead of the Games. The Host Town Programme is the first milestone for the delegations and athletes upon arrival in the UAE for the World Games. The Host Two volunteers will work closely with the organising committees of each emirate to deliver the Programme from 8th to 11th March. The Host Town Programme aims to engage local communities with the Special Olympics movement across the UAE and create a legacy of long-term positive change for People of Determination.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019 will see over 7,500 athletes from more than 190 nations compete from 14th to 21st March.
The volunteers will play an integral role during Games-time and in the run up to the Games, undertaking various roles across nine different operational areas including operations, event management, translation, communications, transportation, guest services, sports and technology.
Among the volunteers will be 3,000 people who assisted during Special Olympics IX MENA Games 2018 in Abu Dhabi. Serving as ‘Pioneers', they will form the core of the volunteering team and serve as ambassadors and advocates for Special World Games Abu Dhabi 2019. Their roles will include engaging with the athletes and promoting the Special Olympics values of inclusion and unity throughout the UAE.
Ameera Al Muharrami, Director of Volunteers at Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019, said, "We are thrilled to hit our ambitious target of 20,000 people to volunteer at Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019. There has been a great response from people of different nationalities and ages, and this shows how much the spirit of volunteerism has spread across the nation.
"The support of each and every volunteer is invaluable in ensuring the success of the Games. Their participation will help change perceptions of People of Determination, as well as set the standard for inclusivity, not just in the UAE, but globally. It promises to be an unforgettable experience for everyone involved."
Ahmed Al Bulooshi, who volunteered at Special Olympics IX MENA Games 2018, is looking forward to working at the World Games, he said, "Volunteering at IX MENA Games last year was a life-changing experience and one which I will never forget.
"I am thoroughly looking forward to showing my support once again and helping to create and more unified society for all People of Determination." | https://en.inform.kz/news/20-000-people-register-to-volunteer-at-special-olympics-world-games-abu-dhabi-2019_a3500880/ | 2024-01-01T03:25:01Z |
2023 In Memoriam: Good People Who Are Dead
Celebrating just a few humans who passed away in 2023, but ONLY THE GOOD ONES.
People are born and people die. Some of the people are mostly good, by which I mean they mostly leave the wider world better than they found it. Whatever their flaws — which are often unknown to those outside their inner circle — good people seem to generally make or do things in a manner that improves life for many.
Having established our definition of “good” for the purpose of this piece, let’s move on to honor some good folks.
Because we are not omnipotent and do not currently keep an updated Excel spreadsheet of every single person who died in 2023, this will not be a comprehensive list. That’s why you are invited to add your favorite currently dead (as of 2023) people in the comments, whether or not they are famously dead, in order to honor their memory. Say something nice.
Everyone who comments with some version of “I don’t know HOW you could write a year-end list without including TKTKTKTK HUMAN” and/or “an obituary is not a eulogy is not a remembrance” wins the prize of other commenters replying with a line of their choice from any e.e. cummings poem (this actually IS a prize).
Here are just a few good people who died in 2023 after improving life for some other folks.
Norman Lear (1922 - 2023): His New York Times obituary is here.
Harry Belafonte (1927 - 2023): Rolling Stone honors him here.
Rosalynn Carter (1927 - 2023): Our tribute is here.
Alan Arkin (1934 - 2023): The New York Times obit is here.
Tina Turner (1939 - 2023): Her NPR obituary is here.
Richard Roundtree (1942 - 2023): The Washington Post has a good profile here.
Shane MacGowan (1957 - 2023): Entertainment Weekly celebrates him here.
Andre Braugher (1962 - 2023): A bona fide friend and supporter of Wonkette. The Guardian remembers him here.
Jerry Schoenkopf (1938 - 2023): He was kind of famous! He was certainly interesting. Rebecca, your Editrix, and not coincidentally his daughter, eulogized him here.
Lance Reddick (1962 - 2023): A lovely piece for a lovely man in The Guardian here.
Sinead O’Connor (1966 - 2023): The Irish Times honors her here.
To honor our shared friends, family, and/or colleagues in their grief, I will add comedian Neel Nanda (1991 - 2023), comedian Kenny DeForest (1986 - 2023) and Chicago comedy producer Elizabeth McQuern (1972 - 2023), as well as all your loved ones and pets who died (pets are people, for the purpose of this post).
If you work in entertainment in any capacity and are in need of mental, physical, or financial assistance, I encourage you to check out the Entertainment Community Fund. It’s also a place where you can support entertainment workers at the end of a rough year. Speaking as a former comic and current member of the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, I am deeply grateful for their work, particularly what they do for comedians who have little to no health coverage or housing money. (They’ll help you if you’re in a union, and they’ll help you if you’re not.)
I’ll leave you with Kenny. He was the best of us. It’s real stupid he had to go so early, but he deserves all the praise lavished on him over the past few weeks.
Go celebrate your people, and take good care. | https://www.wonkette.com/p/2023-in-memoriam-good-people-who | 2024-01-01T03:25:02Z |

A five-year-old girl who suffered a devastating stroke 40 minutes after her preschool graduation has begun to make a 'miraculous' recovery.
Doctors at Monash Children's Hospital in Melbourne are stunned at how well Piper Wakley has recovered after losing the ability to speak and falling unconscious.
Piper, from Albury in southern NSW, went from a bubbly little girl celebrating the end of preschool to being put in an induced coma on December 18.
Doctors were not sure she would survive and her family was told 'to prepare to say our goodbyes'.
But on New Year's Day, her mum Tayla said 'Piper's condition is changing' and she is now sitting up in her hospital bed and talking.
'Though this is still something she will need a lot of rehabilitation for, she is doing her absolute best to try, which is a huge difference to a few days ago,' Ms Wakley told Daily Mail Australia.

The details of what happened to Piper are shocking for any child to go through or for any parent to experience.
On December 18, she was getting ready for a swim in the pool with her grandparents when she collapsed and could not be woken up.
She was rushed to Albury Hospital, where a CT scan revealed she had suffered a stroke, which caused a bleed in her brain.
Piper was put on life support and transferred to Monash Paediatric ICU, where she had emergency surgery to insert a drain into her brain.
By December 20, she started to breathe on her own and went from not being expected to make it through the night, to being in a relatively stable condition.
She could not speak, walk or use most of the right side of her body, but the fact she was alive was the best news her parents and grandparents could ever hear.
On December 29, her mum wrote on the GoFundMe page for Piper that 'Our baby girl is surprising every single doctor she comes in to contact with.
'Eleven days ago, we were told to prepare to say our goodbyes, and today, we might be removing the feeding tube!'
There was more good news on Sunday, when Ms Wakley wrote that 'The drain is out, and I can hold my baby again.
'I have been proud of this little girl since the day she was born, but today, I've never been prouder.
'Today, Piper went through the trauma of another painful procedure, while awake, and handled it better than any adult.'

The mum said she had been told by some of the hospital's neurosurgery team 'that they have no medical explanation for how she has recovered so miraculously.
'Though it's a medical rarity, we know that the prayers and love from everyone, and the pure strength and determination Piper has, have gotten her this far.'
Later on new year's eve, Ms Wakley shared a heartwarming tale at the end of a traumatic year for the family.
'Piper woke from her Midazolam/post procedure sleep, to a wonderful card and present from Dr Nufail (Khan).
'In my irrational emotional state yesterday, I went searching for this exact hairbrush, because Piper had been begging for it before the stroke.
'When I couldn't find it, I was devastated. Imagine the pure joy when we opened up this present.

'I am grateful to know such a kind hearted person, who was the first to put a smile on Piper's face, after the trauma of having her drain removed.'
Ms Wakley said the family is 'incredibly grateful for the help we're receiving, and it has made such a huge difference to our lives.
'We are able to focus our energy on Piper's recovery and journey towards diagnosis, and we are so incredibly thankful for that.'
She added, 'Happy new year, may 2024 be a bit kinder.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12915097/Five-year-old-girl-Piper-stroke-preschool-graduation-Albury.html | 2024-01-01T03:25:02Z |
The Dallas Mavericks are taking on the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night, and Mavs rookie Dereck Lively II had a monster dunk right in the face of Trayce Jackson-Davis:
DERECK LIVELY PUT TRAYCE JACKSON-DAVIS ON A POSTER 😱
— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) December 31, 2023
Lively's poster jam came late in the second quarter with the Mavs leading 60-50. Running a pick-and-roll with teammate Luka Doncic, Lively rolled to rim where Luka found him with the lob.
Of course, this isn't the first poster that the Mavs rookie has slammed down this season.
Dallas has needed a reliable post presence in recent years. Lively is obviously still a young player with room to develop, but he looks like a future star.
He was recently asked about playing such a pivotal role for this Mavs team at such a young age.
“You've just got to be thankful, and thankful for the work, thankful for my teammates and for my coaches. Just being able to know that the work works, you know. Being in the gym twice a day, every day, being able to watch film every day, work on your body, work on your mind, work on your timing, it all stacks up.”
Doncic's leadership at just 24-years old has been on full display. His teammates not only trust him but develop even more confidence in their ability given his trust in them. Doncic isn't afraid to give inexperienced players around him opportunities which only enhances the aforementioned confidence element.
Lively deserves plenty of credit as well, though. He's been aggressive in the post and is tremendous in terms of finishing around the rim, whether it's a straight dunk or alley-oop. | https://clutchpoints.com/mavs-news-dereck-lively-ii-warriors-trayce-jackson-davis-poster | 2024-01-01T03:25:03Z |
On December 15th, the Cleveland Cavaliers were hit with a double whammy of terrible news. Franchise point guard Darius Garland was declared out for a few weeks with a fractured jaw. Then Evan Mobley, often considered the franchise’s future, was declared out for 4-6 weeks with knee surgery. They were 13-12 at the time, having lost three straight when expectations were much higher. The season seemed sort of doomed. Fans were calling to trade Donovan Mitchell and to tank for next year. It’s hard to blame them, considering how injured the Cavaliers were and have been this season.
Since then, though, the short-handed Cavaliers have put together a bit of a run. Not only that but after winning twice, they also lost their best player in, Mitchell. To put it briefly, since losing Garland and Mobley, they are 5-1, and since losing Mitchell, they are 3-1, including wins against the Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks. How have they pulled this off, and who has stepped up?
The Key to Success
When ball-dominant stars go out, ball movement generally increases. This has been true for the Cavaliers as well. Without Garland and Mitchell, who are the best at getting their own shot, the ball is forced to move to get open shots. In the six games since Mobley and Garland have been out, they’ve beaten their average season assists of 26.2 every time. They often beat it by a lot, with 30+ assist games in four of the six.
The ball moves quickly now, with only Caris LeVert comfortable dribbling the ball for any extended period. It’s great to see in regular-season games. The ball swings from side to side, sometimes multiple times per possession, in search of a better shot. It’d be great to see that implemented when Garland and Mitchell return, both of whom can gun it from deep. It’s not terribly likely, but hey, who knows?
Stepping Up
Jarrett Allen
Jarrett Allen is the only remaining of the Cavs’ core four these past few games. Allen has stepped up significantly, an often mentioned name in trade talks and seen as the least essential name by far. The offense often runs through him, and he has responded incredibly well. In the six-game run, he’s averaging 18.2 points and 12.5 boards on 66% shooting, with those shooting and rebounding numbers far above his career averages with no drop in efficiency.
His defense has stayed strong, too, doing an admirable job on Luka Doncic when they visited the Mavericks on Wednesday. He held him to 3/13 shooting when switched onto him in the second half, with many of those possessions coming on the perimeter. When everyone comes back, Allen should be a higher priority on offense, but that would hinder Mobley’s growth even further. Whether Mobley has offensive potential worth nurturing is a serious question, but that’s a question for another time.
Isaac Okoro
When given the chance to start, Isaac Okoro has been quite good. It’s been no different in this run, scoring 14 a game on 53/42/68 splits. Again, those are far beyond his career averages, and the three-point shooting is incredibly encouraging, considering it’s on a healthy five attempts per game. He looks like a very strong piece when starting. The problem is Okoro seems to play much worse coming off the bench, and there’s no room for him when everyone comes back. The recent stretch might increase his trade value, but losing a solid player like Okoro is a shame.
Craig Porter Jr.
Finally, Craig Porter Jr. has been an overall revelation this season. After showing a do-it-all game in the Summer League, he played great in the few minutes he got early in the season. J.B. Bickerstaff said he earned his place on the rotation before bafflingly banishing Porter Jr. into DNP land. He’s been forced to play Porter Jr. again, and he’s playing very well. In his 11 starts, he’s averaging 11/6/7, which are really nice numbers for an undrafted rookie. He plugs a lot of holes when he’s in and plays with high energy and intelligence. He has performed pretty well off the bench and earned his minutes again, even when the Cavaliers’ are at full strength. Of course, that was true before, too, but hopefully, this time it sticks.
It’s been a fantastic run for the injury-ridden Cavaliers. Coach Bickerstaff has proven excellent at getting a lot out of underdog squads, as seen in 2021-2022. There are still questions about whether he can take a great team to the top, but he’s definitely great at squeezing every last drop out of lesser talent. Unfortunately, that is a trait also shared with the infamous Doc Rivers. Not an amazing company to be in these days. Still, some real revelations have been made in these last few games, and the Cavs are reinserting themselves in the Eastern Conference conversation.

The world's leading contract chipmaker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., could infuse new momentum into pay hikes that outpace price increases in inflation-plagued Japan, an essential element Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has long pursued.
TSMC's generous compensation packages to recruit for a new plant in Kikuyo, Kumamoto Prefecture, can serve as a wakeup call to manufacturers not just around the area but in other regions of the country, economists say.
The spillover effect will be critical as the world's third-largest economy is at risk of stagflation if wage hikes continue falling behind price rises. | https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/01/01/tech/tsmc-pay-inflation-japan/ | 2024-01-01T03:25:05Z |
A 79-year-old Villager who served six months after an ongoing feud with her neighbor won’t be facing criminal charges.
Charges have been dropped in the case of 79-year-old Janice Frances McKee of the Village of Hacienda East who had been held in jail for more than six months. She was released from jail on Dec. 20.
After she was released from jail, she was transported an assisted living/memory care facility in The Villages.
McKee’s attorney had indicated his client has been diagnosed with dementia “which is manifested by paranoia, impaired reality testing, memory deficits, and a lack of insight,” according to a document on file in Sumter County Court. In addition, family members stepped in and were granted a guardianship over McKee.
McKee and her husband purchased their home in 2016. He died one year later.
She was arrested June 8 after allegedly trimming her neighbor’s tree in what appears to be a long-running dispute. She had been free on $2,000 bond when she was arrested a second time on June 23 when she drove onto her neighbor’s lawn with her golf cart and proceeded to hit her neighbor with a stick, according to an arrest report from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office. The second arrest was considered a violation of her bond from the first arrest.
McKee, who lives at 1301 Fontana Court, has property that backs up to the residence of 89-year-old William Calabrese at 1302 Corona Ave.
He said he had been sitting in his house at about 7 p.m. June 23 when McKee drove her golf cart into his backyard. He walked out the backdoor and asked McKee to leave. Calabrese’s dog ran out the backdoor and began running circles around McKee’s dog, prompting the Buffalo, N.Y. native to swing a stick at her neighbor’s dog. He told her to stop swinging the stick at his dog and he stepped in between them to try to protect his dog. McKee’s stick struck her neighbor in the shoulder. She got back into her golf cart, drove it onto the roadway and went back inside her house.
Prior to her first arrest, sheriff’s deputies had responded five times to disputes involving the warring neighbors. Her June 8 arrest came after Calabrese provided deputies with a photo of McKee on his property, next to his tree with “tree loppers and a garbage can.” The tree was 19 feet from the neighbors’ mutual property line.
McKee, who acknowledged she had been warned multiple times to stay off Calabrese’s property, claimed she “needed to cut down the tree in order to have an effective survey completed.” She showed deputies a satellite image of the property but “had drawn a new line on the image with a pen, cutting through his residence and claiming half of his house was hers also.”
She had previously taken the shears to Calabrese’s peach tree in a previous incident, but it was so close to the property line that no arrest was made in that case.
McKee had no previous criminal history. | https://www.villages-news.com/2023/12/31/villager-moved-to-memory-care-facility-after-spending-more-than-six-months-in-jail/ | 2024-01-01T03:25:07Z |

Did Queen Margrethe give up the throne to keep Denmark's beloved Princess Mary on side? Monarch's shock move sparks questions over whether her hand was forced by 'affair' rumours between her scandal-hit son Crown Prince Frederik and a Mexican socialite
Queen Margrethe's decision to abdicate the throne in January has sparked speculation the aging monarch is attempting to keep her beloved daughter-in-law, Princess Mary, in the fold.
The Danish head of state shocked the nation and many royal watchers around the world when she used her annual New Year's Eve speech to announce live on television that she was stepping down as Queen after 52 years.
In her address the 83-year-old said she had taken stock after undergoing back surgery last year and had decided it was it was time 'to leave the responsibility to the next generation' - namely her eldest son Crown Prince Frederik.
However, the timing of the move has raised questions, as it comes just weeks after Frederik hit the headlines when he was pictured on a night out in Madrid with a Mexican socialite, sparking rumours of an alleged 'affair'.
Speculation is mounting that the decision was made to keep Frederik's wife of 19 years Princess Mary, who is extremely popular with the public, on side.
Queen Margrethe announced she will abdicate the throne on January 14, passing it to her son Crown Prince Frederik. Pictured: Her Majesty during her New Year's speech, in which she announced her abdication
The decision means that from January 14 Crown Prince Frederik will become king, while his wife Princess Mary will become queen. Pictured: Frederik and Mary at the Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen in November
Married Frederik was subject to scandalous headlines after he was pictured having dinner with a Mexican socialite in Madrid in October. Pictured: Frederik and Genoveva Casanova in Madrid
Princess Mary, who is set to become the first Australian-born queen in a number of weeks, has won over the Danish public with her dedication to royal duty and her fluency in the language.
A recent poll found 85 per cent of Danes have a positive opinion of the 51-year-old, who met her husband in a packed pub in Sydney 23 years ago and had no idea he was royalty.
Her husband is also similarly popular, having turned his public image around from being a rebel tearaway and party boy during his youth to becoming a 'woke' family man.
Since meeting the couple have got married and have four children together, including their oldest son Christian who will take over his father's role of crown prince on January 14 when Queen Margrethe abdicates.
However, their relationship came under scrutiny last year when Frederik was spotted on a night out with Mexican reality star Genoveva Casanova in October.
While the Royal Household refused to comment on photos of the pair together, Genoveva issued a public statement denying any kind of romantic relationship and called the rumours 'malicious'.
Despite the swirling rumours of the alleged 'affair', the 55-year-old Crown Prince and his Australian-born wife, 51, appeared loved up as they headed into Aarhus cathedral on Sunday, December 24.However, the news of Queen Margrethe's shock abdication has sparked speculation that the monarch is stepping down to preserve the marriage of her son and try to stop his supremely popular wife leaving.
Frederik has been married to Princess Mary for 19 years, with their relationship often being dubbed a 'real-life fairytale'.
Mary Donaldson was 28 years old when she met Frederik in the Slip Inn in Sydney 23 years ago.
After the pub encounter, then 32-year-old Fred - who was in Australia to support Denmark's sailing team at the 2000 Olympics - asked Mary for her phone number and a romance blossomed.
'The first time we met we shook hands. I didn't know he was the prince of Denmark. Half an hour later someone came up to me and said, 'Do you know who these people are'?' Mary revealed in an interview about meeting the heir to the Danish throne.
Crown Prince Frederik will become King of Denmark in from January 14 as his mother Queen Margrethe II announces her abdication. Pictured: Frederik giving a speech at the Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen in September 2022
They maintained a long-distance relationship for a year, with Frederik making secret trips Down Under before Mary moved to Denmark to study Danish language at Copenhagen's Studieskolen in 2001.
In early 2003, Frederik's mother Queen Margrethe publicly acknowledged the relationship and the couple announced their engagement at Amalienborg Castle later that year on October 8.
Between raising her children and appearing at diplomatic events, Mary has worked tirelessly to prove her commitment to charity, becoming a patron of more than 25 international organisations since her marriage to Frederik in 2004.
Patronages include the World Health Organisation Regional Office for Europe and the United Nations Population Fund, where she supports their work to promote maternal health in more than 150 developing nations.
In 2007, the Princess launched The Mary Foundation, a charity focused on stamping out domestic violence, bullying and loneliness.
Her popularity with the Danish public is mirrored by that of Frederik's, who has turned his image around in the eyes of Danes as the years have passed.
A lonely and tormented teenager, Frederik resented his parents for neglecting him as they fulfilled their royal obligations.
He sought solace in fast cars and fast living, and was considered a spoiled party prince in the early 1990s.
But that view began to change after he graduated from Aarhus University in 1995, the first Danish royal to complete a university education.
His time at college included a stint at Harvard in the United States, where he was enrolled under the pseudonym Frederik Henriksen.
The fake surname was a nod to his father, French diplomat Henri de Monpezat who became Prince Consort Henrik when he married Margrethe.
But Frederik - who speaks English, French and German - really began to mature into his role during his time training in the three branches of Denmark's military.
The prince served in the navy's Frogmen Corps - where he was nicknamed 'Pingo' (Penguin) - one of only four of the 300 recruits to pass all of the tests in 1995.
In 2000, he took part in a four-month, 3,500-kilometre (2,175-mile) ski expedition across Greenland.
His daredevil side has landed him in hospital after sledging and scooter accidents, but his popularity has soared, boosted by the Royal Run, annual fun runs across Denmark he began in 2018.

'He is a sportsman, he attends concerts and football matches, which makes him even more accessible than his mother,' royal expert Redder said.
'I don't want to lock myself in a fortress. I want to be myself, a human being,' he once said, insisting he would stick to that even after taking the throne.
He met his wife Mary Donaldson, an Australian lawyer, in a Sydney bar during the 2000 Olympic Games.
They have tried to give their four children as normal an upbringing as possible, sending them mainly to state schools.
Their eldest, Prince Christian, who recently turned 18, was the first Danish royal to go to daycare.
The couple have gradually taken on many royal duties in recent years as the queen entered her eighties, 'but very slowly and depending on the queen's health', said historian Sebastian Olden-Jorgensen.
The couple are 'modern, woke, lovers of pop music, modern art and sports,' he added.
They 'do not represent a potential revolution compared to the queen', but a careful transition adapting to the times, he said.
In recent months Frederik has been subject to scandalous headlines and rumours alleging an 'affair'.
In October photographs emerged showing Frederick enjoying a night out with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova in Madrid, sparking rumours about the Danish royal.
Photos of Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Genoveva Casanova on a night out in Madrid without his wife Crown Princess Mary emerged in October. Pictures, taken throughout the day, showed the pair having a stroll around El Retiro Park
Lecturas claimed both Frederik and Genoveva went to her apartment building separately at around 7pm. Genoveva, dressed in jeans and a brown coat, is seen heading into her apartment building
The Crown Prince is pictured heading into Genoveva's apartment building to change his clothes following a walk in the park at around 7pm
Frederik is seen leaving Genoveva's apartment building before heading to dinner. He appears to have to have changed from a navy jacket and brown trousers into a white shirt and dark trousers with a smart dark jacket
The pair are seen outside the apartment in Madrid at around 9pm before heading out to dinner. Photos show Genoveva ditched her chic camel coat with a tie belt in favour of a white shirt, black wide-leg trousers and a black jacket worn on her shoulders
The pair appeared to head into a Flamenco show at the Corral de la Morería in Madrid. They are pictured outside the venue at around 1am. The magazine claimed the pair remained at their table, which had been flanked by two of the Danish Prince's bodyguards, while other customers left, waiters finished up their shifts and the lights were being switched off
Lecturas claimed the pair did not emerge from the restaurant until 1am, when they walked out on to the street and got in a car. In a 'gesture of courtesy', Crown Prince Frederik opened the car door for his dinner companion
The pair are seen in their car home from the restaurant. Frederik appeared to have changed from a navy jacket and brown trousers into a white shirt and dark trousers with a smart dark jacket
Next day, the magazine claims the heir to the Danish throne was taken to the airport via car where he flew home to Denmark. Crown Prince Frederik Of Denmark is seen alone the next day

Spanish magazine Lecturas reported that, during their night out, Frederik - who is a fourth cousin of King Charles - and Genoveva visited a Pablo Picasso exhibition, walked through El Retiro Park and later went out for dinner.
At around 7pm, Lecturas claimed both Frederik and Genoveva went to her apartment building separately, and both re-emerged at around 9pm, two hours later, both having changed their clothes into evening wear.
In the photos, Genoveva had ditched her chic camel coat with a tie belt in favour of a white shirt, black wide-leg trousers and a black jacket worn on her shoulders.
Meanwhile Frederik appeared to have changed from a navy jacket and brown trousers into a white shirt and dark trousers with a smart dark jacket. Again, they were reported to have emerged from the building separately, but got into the same white car.
The magazine claimed the pair watched a flamenco performance at a Spanish restaurant, El Corral de la Moreria, which finished at midnight.
It also claimed they remained at their table, which had been flanked by two of the Danish Prince's bodyguards, while other customers left, waiters finished up their shifts and the lights were being switched off.
Lecturas claimed the pair did not emerge from the restaurant until 1am, when they walked out onto the street and got in a car.
In a 'gesture of courtesy', Lecturas reports Prince Frederik opened the car door for his dinner companion.
The next day, the magazine claims the heir to the Danish throne was taken to the airport via car where he flew home to Denmark.
Publication of the pictures in Lecturas led the divorcee Mexican socialite to issue a statement 'categorically' denying any suggestion the pair are romantically involved, branding it 'malicious' and untrue, according to Hola!.

Frederik and Mary married on May 14, 2004 at Copenhagen Cathedral, with the newly minted Crown Princess opting for a beautiful gown by Danish designer Uffer Frank and a veil first used by Crown Princess Margaret of Sweden in 1905
Married for 19 years and proud parents to four children (pictured together), the famously down-to-earth royals are adored by millions, with Mary poised to become the world's first Australian-born queen
The socialite wrote: 'I categorically deny the statements that suggest a romantic relationship between Prince Frederik and me.'
She added: 'Any statement of this type not only completely lacks the truth but also misrepresents the facts in a malicious manner.
'This is already in the hands of my lawyers, who will take care of the pertinent steps to protect my right to honour, truth and privacy.'
The editor of Lecturas, Luis Pliego, claimed on Spanish TV station Telecinco, that Frederik's visit to Madrid was 'secret'.
Since the photos emerged, those in the know have claimed the pair are good friends who 'meet several times a year,'.
'They have a friendship. They know each other and have friends in common. They usually meet several times a year,' Susanna Griso, who presents Spanish TV show Espejo Público, claimed.
Griso alleged Genoveva had become close to the heir to the Danish throne after they met on a high end mountain hunting trip.
The presenter explained: 'These are exclusive meetings, where you have to pay a lot of money to attend.
'All of the royals and children of the major families are there. The trips are organised mostly in Germany and Austria.'
On trips of this kind, usually in mountainous regions, guests pay thousands of Euros to be able to hunt European big game animals like red deer, Alpine Ibex, wild boar and mouflon wild sheep.
Griso added: 'Her friends have told me that she is having a very bad time of it. She is in hiding right now and has turned off her mobile phone because she doesn't want anyone to call her.'
The news broke amid a packed schedule of events for the royal couple during the state visit King Felipe of Spain and his wife Queen Letizia, and will no doubt have been viewed as an unwelcome distraction by Mary, who has scarcely put a foot wrong in her almost two decades as a working royal.
Despite the storm that has left European society agog, the Crown Prince and Princess both joined King Felipe of Spain and his wife Queen Letizia on the final day of their state visit to Denmark yesterday
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark has been spotted holding hands with husband Prince Frederik while attending a Christmas Eve church service with their four children
Despite swirling rumours of the Prince's alleged 'affair' that rocked the family, Mary and Frederik appeared loved up as they headed into Aarhus cathedral on Sunday, December 24
The royal couple were all smiles as they stepped out alongside Prince Christian, 18, Princess Isabella, 16, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, both 12
The popular royal family celebrated Christmas day at Marselisborg Castle with Frederik's mother Queen Margrethe II of Denmark
Since the photos emerged Mary has remained tight-lipped about her husband's dinner with the socialite, and the pair have put on a united display in public appearances.
However, during one instance after the publication of the photos, body language expert Judi James told FEMAIL that Mary looked 'disengaged' when joining the Spanish King and Queen in Copenhagen in November.
Her husband, meanwhile, appeared 'hesitant' towards his wife while on the outing with King Felipe and Queen Letizia during their visit to Denmark.
The couple put on a united front during an appearance at Aarhus cathedral on Christmas Eve alongside their children, before heading to Marselisborg Castle for Christmas Day with Queen Margrethe.
Mary looked stylish in a $1,400 floral Saloni maxi dress she paired with Aquazzura's knee-high suede Gainsbourg 85 Boots, and smiled as she held Frederik's hand.
The royal also kept cosy from the winter chill in a grey soft-drop coat and matching burgundy gloves.
She will become the world's first Australian-born queen next month, and is popular with the Danish public due to her dedication to royal duty and her fluency in the language.
Chain-smoking Queen Margrethe, who is also famed for her flamboyant sense of style, will step down from the throne on January 14.
Margrethe II (below right) was third cousins with Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, both descended from Queen Victoria
Like King Charles, Queen Margrethe wants a slimed-down Danish monarchy. But stripping some grand-children of their titles caused a furore and she apologised for the way it was done
In her broadcast today, Queen Margrethe II stated: 'I have decided that now is the right time. On January 14, 2024, 52 years after I succeeded my beloved father, I will step down as Queen of Denmark.'

The 83-year-old queen, who took over the throne in 1972, is the longest-serving monarch in Europe following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.
In February, she underwent a successful back surgery.
'The surgery naturally gave rise to thinking about the future - whether the time had come to leave the responsibility to the next generation,' she said in her speech.
'I have decided that now is the right time. On January 14, 2024, 52 years after I succeeded my beloved father, I will step down as Queen of Denmark.
'I leave the throne to my son, Crown Prince Frederik.'
In Denmark, formal power resides with the elected parliament and its government. The monarch is expected to stay above partisan politics, representing the nation with traditional duties ranging from state visits to national day celebrations. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12915465/Queen-Margrethe-Denmark-abdication-beloved-Princess-Mary-crown-prince-frederik-affair.html | 2024-01-01T03:25:08Z |
The Dallas Mavericks have been one of the better teams in the Western Conference this season. After a rocky second half of the 2022-23 season that saw them miss the playoffs, the Mavs have been played much better this year despite some key injuries. Mavs point guard Kyrie Irving has been sidelined due to injury but he could be nearing a return as soon as the Mavs game against the Utah Jazz on New Year's Day as per Grant Afseth of DallasBasketball.com.
Kyrie Irving’s injury status has been upgraded for a second consecutive time between games, going from doubtful to questionable this time.
Jason Kidd mentioned before the win over the Golden State Warriors that Irving had a “good workout” on Friday: https://t.co/iWtcsOpdh0 https://t.co/AyS2i21g0S
— Grant Afseth (@GrantAfseth) January 1, 2024
Kyrie Irving's status on the Mavs injury report has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable ahead of the Jazz game. Irving's status changed in similar fashion ahead of the Mavs last game against the Warriors although he was ultimately ruled out for that game. If he does not play against the Jazz on Monday, his return is definitely imminent.
Irving has been sidelined for the past 12 games for the Mavs due to a heel injury. Prior to that, he had been averaging 23.0 points per game, 3.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 steals with splits of 47.1 percent shooting from the field, 38.4 percent shooting from the three point line and 90.3 percent shooting from the free throw line.
Irving's return will definitely help take some of the ball-handling and scoring pressure off of Luka Doncic. Doncic himself is questionable for the Jazz game. He played in the Mavs last game against the Warriors though.
The Mavs currently sit at 19-14 and sixth place in the Western Conference standings. They've gone 4-6 in their last ten games and getting Irving back would be a much-needed boost. | https://clutchpoints.com/mavs-news-kyrie-irvings-latest-injury-update-sure-to-please-luka-doncic | 2024-01-01T03:25:09Z |
2023: James Comer’s Year Of Looking For Hunter Biden’s Penis But Never Finding It
No, this isn't Legislative Shitheel.
If there is anything citizens of the world will remember about 2023, it is that Wonkette reached a point where it couldn’t finish a post about Republican House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer without calling him “Pigfuck.” There is just no other word in the Queen’s English that so accurately describes that broken Kentucky banjo who’s wasted our entire year — and promises to do so more in 2024! — trying to invent Joe Biden and Hunter Biden “scandals” that simply don’t exist.
We knew early on, almost a full year ago, when the Republicans had just taken power in the House, and during one of their press conferences, Comer almost kicked over a podium trying to scold reporters for refusing to ask about Hunter Biden's laptop or Hunter Biden's penis or Hunter Biden's Ukrainian Chinese Burisma.
Here was the video that started it all off:
We wrote, “That spunky bucket of Kentucky fried hog gristle up there is GOP Rep. James Comer,” in case readers did not know him yet. “He's got that big square head and that grin that looks like God put a permanent ‘kick me’ sign on his poor face. His cheeks are flush, we imagine his heart rate is a bit elevated. It's Hunter Fuckin' Biden Time, y'all!”
Comer’s star turn was supposed to be back in September, when Comer and his loyal buttwhistlers Jim Jordan and Jason Smith (chairs of the Judiciary and Ways and Means committees, respectively) came together for a hearing to really lay out the evidence.
Of course, he set the expectations impossibly low beforehand, and then still failed to meet them. Fox News made fun of him after the hearing, like it’s always doing. (Steve Doocy is partic known for hurting Jamie Comer’s heart feelings.) Steve Bannon was left there with his pockmarked dick in his hand asking, Is that it?
When you can’t get those guys off? That is sad.
At this point, it appears the only thing James Comer has proven is that a couple members of the Biden family have been kind of name-dropping fuckups at various points, and Grandpa Joe is that relative who usually gets called upon to help. He even loans them money sometimes.
IMPEACH!
All indications are that Comer’s investigations will only get stupider and more desperate in 2024. They’re doing a real (fake) impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden, based on (????). And he is just so embarrassing. How embarrassing? If he was your baby, you’d drop him off at a fire station. That’s how embarrassing.
Here are a bunch of Wonkette headlines about James Comer from the past year. They kind of tell the story better than any year-end summary can.

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

Oklahoma donut shop that was FIREBOMBED by homophobic neo-Nazi arsonist throws a drag party to celebrate his conviction
- Tulsa's Donut Hole throws party to celebrate jailing of Coby Dale Green for firebombing the store in October last year
- Neo-Nazi was incensed about a drag-themed event at the food store and told followers on social media 'this filth has got to go'
- But it was Green who had to go as he was sentenced to five years in federal jail for malicious use of explosive materials
An Oklahoma donut store that was firebombed for hosting a drag event has celebrated with the community that stood by it as the man who attacked it was jailed for five years.
The Donut Hole in Tulsa threw open its doors and handed out 700 free donuts on Saturday as neo-Nazi Coby Dale Green was convicted in a federal court for the hate crime in October last year.
He is thought to have been responsible for smashing the store's windows days after hundreds came to an exhibition of LGBT art at the popular hang-out.
But he was convicted for another attack days later when he battered the door down with a baseball bat before hurling in a flaming Molotov cocktail.
'Today is about giving out donuts to the community and making it clear that we're here and we're everywhere,' said drag performer Josie Lee Turrelle.
Sasha Turrelle and Josie Lee Turrelle were among those handing out the treats on Saturday after Green was sentenced to five years by a Federal Court
A security camera at the Tucson store caught the moment Green hurled his Molotov cocktail through the door he had shattered seconds earlier
Investigators found notes and flyers pinned to the door after the attacks which left staff and customers in fear for their lives.
One was a reference to 'Ecclesiastes 3 1-8 KJV', while another read 'The only virus is LGBT' and showed a man holding another by the throat.
A third pledged war against 'LGBT groomers' with a picture of a person being choked by a Pride flag-emblazoned bandana.
'When everything happened, it was scary, and I didn't do drag for three months because I was too scared to go out and do anything, because I didn't want to be harmed,' said Lee Turrelle.
'I'm just trying to do my job and make people happy.'
Store owners Sarah Swain and Brian Hunter pledged not to be intimidated after the first attack and a GoFundMe was created which raised more than $24,000.
'Despite one's attempt to rain on our parade, the community answered by showing overwhelming support,' they wrote on Facebook.
'These malicious acts have resulted in thousands of dollars going towards the cause this entire event was meant to support. Love wins.'
But the community was rocked when the first attack was followed by a second.
'My art installation was the catalyst for these horrible acts,' said exhibition organizer Daniel Gulick.
'I know I'm not responsible, but I can't help but take some of the blame for these things. It's a terrible feeling.'
Graphic security footage caught both attacks and as investigators closed in they found Green had posted about the attack on social media with a call to arms for neo-Nazis.
'OK, it's officially time to shine our boots and put on our armbands boys, this filth has got to go,' he wrote.
But it was Green who had to go last week as he was jailed for malicious use of explosive materials.
'I feel like it backfired on him, you know,' drag performer Sasha Turrelle said.

Investigators retrieved the Molotov cocktail in the aftermath of the attack
'I don't think he was expecting for the community to come together and stand together and rebuild and fix the donut shop and get everything up and running again.'
'It saddens my heart,' said customer Johanna Merrill, 'but they came back and they came back full-force, so it opens my heart as well.
'We're here, and we're everywhere,' Lee Turrelle added.
'I mean, we're doctors and we're lawyers, and we're teachers, and mothers, parents, I mean grandparents, and we're also donut slingers.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12915531/Oklahoma-Donut-firebomb-coby-dale-green-lgbt-drag-tulsa.html | 2024-01-01T03:25:15Z |
Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh seems to be feeling good as the Wolverines make their final preparations before playing Alabama in this year's Rose Bowl. Harbaugh is dropping some interesting comments ahead of the New Year's Day game, per Action Network.
“Hays never in the barn for us. Polishing the diamond, we like to say. Get the red blood pumping,” Harbaugh said. “Get a good night's sleep. Got a darn good one last night.”
Harbaugh has made a series of interesting comments in the days leading up to the national semi-final game against Alabama, commenting about Jesus's athletic ability and other things. The Michigan coach has also created a lot of speculation after hiring a new agent, Don Yee, who has also represented some NFL players and coaches. The hiring has led many to believe Harbaugh may be headed back to the NFL once the season is over for Michigan, although the school is still negotiating with him on a new contract.
Michigan football is in the College Football Playoff for the third year in a row. The team is striving to get to the national championship for the first time in that period. The Wolverines have fallen short of the title game in the last two years, losing to TCU last season in a semi-final game.
Harbaugh has reason to feel good that maybe this year will turn out differently for his team. The Wolverines went undefeated in the Big Ten, going 13-0 on the season. The team kept winning despite Harbaugh having to serve a suspension from the league over a sign-stealing investigation. Sherrone Moore acted as head coach for the final three games of the regular season.
Michigan and Alabama play on New Year's Day at 5:00 Eastern. The winner of the game goes on to the national championship, against the winner of the Washington-Texas game. | https://clutchpoints.com/michigan-football-news-jim-harbaugh-drops-unique-comments-wolverines-day-before-game-preparations | 2024-01-01T03:25:15Z |
2020 Tokyo Games organizers seek total smoking ban
According to sources, it would be the first time for such a measure to be taken at the Summer Olympic Games.
In 2017, the committee announced plans to ban smoking within buildings used for the Games. However, it had been carefully studying a ban on smoking outside of the building, as there were smoking areas on the premises of the 2012 London Olympics and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
According to the sources, the Tokyo committee's move will be in line with the wishes of the International Olympic Committee, which promotes smoke-free Olympic Games. It plans to not set up smoking areas on the premises of the facilities.
At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in 2018, a total smoking ban was imposed on the grounds of the venue, but cigarette butts ended up scattered around the entrance. So, the Tokyo committee will discuss measures with local governments, including the Tokyo metropolitan government.
The Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games intends to impose a total smoking ban at Games venues in 2020, including the entirety of both indoor and outdoor areas of each site, according to The Japan News. | https://en.inform.kz/news/2020-tokyo-games-organizers-seek-total-smoking-ban_a3501664/ | 2024-01-01T03:25:15Z |
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his military to “thoroughly annihilate” the United States and South Korea if provoked, state media reported Monday, after he vowed to boost national defenses to cope with what he called an unprecedented U.S.-led confrontation.
Kim is expected to ramp up weapons tests in 2024 ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November. Many experts say he likely believes his expanded nuclear arsenal would allow him to wrest U.S. concessions if former President Donald Trump is reelected.
In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
In a meeting on Sunday with commanding army officers, Kim said it is urgent to sharpen “the treasured sword” to safeguard national security, an apparent reference to his country’s nuclear weapons program. He cited “the U.S. and other hostile forces’ military confrontation moves,” according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
Kim stressed that “our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment’s hesitation” if they opt for military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, KCNA said.
Experts say small-scale military clashes between North and South Korea could happen this year along their heavily armed border. They say North Korea is also expected to test-launch intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland U.S. and other major new weapons.
In 2018-19, Kim met Trump in three rounds of talks on North Korea’s expanding nuclear arsenal. The diplomacy fell apart after the U.S. rejected Kim’s limited offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
Estimates of the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from about 20-30 bombs to more than 100. Many foreign experts say North Korea still has some technological hurdles to overcome to produce functioning nuclear-armed ICBMs, though its shorter-range nuclear-capable missiles can reach South Korea and Japan.

At this time of year many of us resolve to prioritise our health. So it is no surprise there's a roaring trade of products purporting to guarantee you live longer, be healthier and look more youthful.
While an estimated 25% of longevity is determined by our genes, the rest is determined by what we do, day to day.
There are no quick fixes or short cuts to living longer and healthier lives, but the science is clear on the key principles. Here are five things you can do to extend your lifespan and improve your health.
1. Eat a predominantly plant-based diet
What you eat has a huge impact on your health. The evidence overwhelmingly shows eating a diet high in plant-based foods is associated with health and longevity.
If you eat more plant-based foods and less meat, processed foods, sugar and salt, you reduce your risk of a range of illnesses that shorten our lives, including heart disease and cancer.
Plant-based foods are rich in nutrients, phytochemicals, antioxidants and fibre. They're also anti-inflammatory. All of this protects against damage to our cells as we age, which helps prevent disease.
No particular diet is right for everyone but one of the most studied and healthiest is the Mediterranean diet. It's based on the eating patterns of people who live in countries around the Mediterranean Sea and emphasises vegetables, fruits, wholegrains, legumes, nuts and seeds, fish and seafood, and olive oil.
2. Aim for a healthy weight
Another important way you can be healthier is to try and achieve a healthy weight, as obesity increases the risk of a number of health problems that shorten our lives.
Obesity puts strain on all of our body systems and has a whole myriad of physiological effects including causing inflammation and hormonal disturbances. These increase your chances of a number of diseases, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes and a number of cancers.
In addition to affecting us physically, obesity is also associated with poorer psychological health. It's linked to depression, low self-esteem and stress.
One of the biggest challenges we face in the developed world is that we live in an environment that promotes obesity. The ubiquitous marketing and the easy availability of high-calorie foods our bodies are hard-wired to crave mean it's easy to consume too many calories.
3. Exercise regularly
We all know that exercise is good for us – the most common resolution we make this time of year is to do more exercise and to get fitter. Regular exercise protects against chronic illness, lowers your stress and improves your mental health.
While one of the ways exercising helps you is by supporting you to control your weight and lowering your body fat levels, the effects are broader and include improving your glucose (blood sugar) use, lowering your blood pressure, reducing inflammation and improving blood flow and heart function.
While it's easy to get caught up in all of the hype about different exercise strategies, the evidence suggests that any way you can include physical activity in your day has health benefits. You don't have to run marathons or go to the gym for hours every day. Build movement into your day in any way that you can and do things that you enjoy.
4. Don't smoke
If you want to be healthier and live longer then don't smoke or vape.
Smoking cigarettes affects almost every organ in the body and is associated with both a shorter and lower quality of life. There is no safe level of smoking – every cigarette increases your chances of developing a range of cancers, heart disease and diabetes.
Even if you have been smoking for years, by giving up smoking at any age you can experience health benefits almost immediately, and you can reverse many of the harmful effects of smoking.
If you're thinking of switching to vapes as a healthy long term option, think again. The long term health effects of vaping are not fully understood and they come with their own health risks.
5. Prioritise social connection
When we talk about living healthier and longer, we tend to focus on what we do to our physical bodies. But one of the most important discoveries over the past decade has been the recognition of the importance of spiritual and psychological health.
People who are lonely and socially isolated have a much higher risk of dying early and are more likely to suffer from heart disease, stroke, dementia as well as anxiety and depression.
Although we don't fully understand the mechanisms, it's likely due to both behavioural and biological factors. While people who are more socially connected are more likely to engage in healthy behaviours, there also seems to be a more direct physiological effect of loneliness on the body.
So if you want to be healthier and live longer, build and maintain your connections to others.

2023, The Year George Santos Truly Became President
He's still less pathetic than Kevin McCarthy.
It’s been a little over a year since we first learned that George Santos wasn’t who he said he was. He’s lied on levels never previously seen in US politics, an impressive achievement on its own, let alone in a timeline that includes Donald Trump. The now-expelled Republican representative from New York’s Third Congressional District took us on a wild ride and rarely gave us a chance to catch our breath and ask, “Hey, where’s my wallet?”
Santos astounded us early with his gall, which lacked any mitigation. When The New York Times broke its (belated) story about how Santos had invented his entire back and front story, we expected that he’d quietly resign. We were so naive. George Santos (if that’s his real name) doesn’t back down! He’s a fighter for prevaricators everywhere. He issued a defiant statement through his attorney, who probably billed a lot of hours this year:
“It is no surprise that Congressman-elect Santos has enemies at the New York Times who are attempting to smear his good name with these defamatory allegations. As Winston Churchill famously stated, ‘You have enemies? Good. It means that you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.’”
Winston Churchill never said anything like this, not even in a meme. That’s when we knew we were dealing with a master of the lie. Remember when George Costanza dramatically quit his job but returned to work the following Monday and pretended as if nothing had happened? Santos was actually sworn into Congress while pretending that all his lies were perfectly normal. He used the word “embellish” a lot: “I'm embarrassed and sorry for having embellished my resume,” he told the New York Post. “I own up to that … We do stupid things in life.”
That was spectacular. He’s not the liar. We’re all liars. We don’t have space or the stomach really to list all his lies, but here are some of his lowest hits:
Falsely claimed he was Jewish and that his grandparents “fled Hitler.” Later joked that he’d just told people he was “Jew-ish.” That was a lie.
Said in an interview that he had “tragic memories” of the 2016 mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
Claimed his mother “survived” the events of 9/11, when she wasn’t in the country at the time. He also suggested that she might’ve died from a 9/11-related illness. That was another lie.
Boasted that he was a volleyball champion at Baruch College, which has no record of his attendance.
Said he was a producer on the infamous Broadway disaster Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. I’m surprised he didn’t claim he was the Green Goblin. They have a lot in common.
Santos didn’t just tell whoppers at the barber shop like that old coot who claimed he knew Frank Sinatra personally. He was also a corrupt, remorseless swindler who preyed on the vulnerable. He was charged back in 2008 with stealing a checkbook from a man his mother cared for in Brazil and writing fraudulent checks. He allegedly set up a GoFundMe page for a disabled Navy veteran’s service dog and then ghosted with the $3,000 intended for live-saving surgery. The dog would later die. This is when Santos transitioned from comical con man with possible redemption arc to outright sociopath like Tom Ripley but without the sex appeal. (You might personally find Santos sexy. That is your right as someone with horrible taste in everything.)
Keeping with the “Seinfeld” theme, George Costanza would later refuse to leave a job after it was discovered that he’d faked a disability (sort of a mid-range lie for Santos). The company did everything possible to make him leave but he wouldn’t budge. That was the entirety of Santos’s congressional career. He tried cozying up with fellow Republicans at the State of the Union and was roundly rebuffed. A disgusted Mitt Romney said, “Given the fact that he’s under ethics investigation, he should be sitting in the back row and staying quiet instead of parading in front of the president and people coming into the room.” Santos doesn’t exist to stay quiet. He lives for the parade.
The law would later come for Santos: He was indicted in May on seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives. (He was apparently acquitted for the sweater vest/blazer combos.) He still refused to go. In October, the Eastern District of New York added 10 more charges against him, including conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, access device fraud, false statements to the Federal Election Commission and falsifying records to obstruct the commission. He shamelessly stole campaign funds from his donors for Botox and OnlyFans — he also allegedly kept charging their cards for thousands of dollars in unapproved transactions — and while his donors are Republicans, this is still against the law.
Santos was expelled from Congress finally on December 1. We’d almost come full circle. I won’t say we’ll miss George Santos — mostly because he hasn’t actually gone away and has a new grift going — but it is only fair to note that his congressional career lasted longer than Kevin McCarthy’s speakership.

Warner retires from ODIs but leaves door ajar for Champions Trophy
Opener says he has officially retired from ODIs to play T20 leagues but will make himself available for 2025 Champions Trophy if needed
Andrew McGlashan
01-Jan-2024 • 2 hrs ago
David Warner has announced his retirement from ODI cricket alongside the end of his Test career although kept the door ajar to play the 2025 Champions Trophy if Australia felt they needed him.
"I'm definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well," he said at the SCG on Monday. "That was something that I had said through the World Cup, get through that, and winning it in India, I think that's a massive achievement.
"So I'll make that decision today, to retire from those forms, which does allow me to go and play some other leagues around the world and sort of get the one-day team moving forward a little bit. I know there's a Champions Trophy coming up. If I'm playing decent cricket in two years' time and I'm around and they need someone, I'm going to be available."

Warner set to miss West Indies white-ball matches for ILT20
David Warner: The most prolific Australia opener, among the best at his peak
An all-format great with plenty of controversy - Warner's career timeline
Barring a surprise return in two years' time it means that the World Cup final against India in Ahmedabad was his final ODI leaving him with a tally of 6932 runs at 45.30 with 22 centuries. He is Australia's sixth-highest run-scorer in men's ODIs and second on the hundreds list behind Ricky Ponting who played 205 more ODI innings than Warner.
Warner had already been expected to miss next month's three-match ODI series against West Indies so that he could take up his ILT20 deal with Dubai Capitals. He is also set to miss the T20I matches before then but wants to continue his career in that format until at least June's World Cup in the Caribbean and the USA. He is one game away from bringing up a century of appearances in every format.
After the ODI World Cup in November, Warner had hinted at pushing on until 2027 although he would have been 41 by then and said that the way the team had rebounded in India made it the ideal finishing point.
"It was a decision that I was very, very comfortable with," he said. "To win in India, from where we were, was absolutely amazing.
"When we lost two games in a row in India, the bond just got stronger with each other and it's not by fluke or by chance that we were able to get to where we were. The heroics of Maxi [Glenn Maxwell], the captaincy and the skills and execution of the way that we played against India was phenomenal, and not to dismiss the Kolkata semi-final as well."

EXCLUSIVEMajor update after Aussie father was left fighting for life following moped accident in Bali
- Kevin Malligan fell off a moped in Bali
- Accident left him fighting for his life
- READ MORE: Young Aussie dad fighting for life as heavily pregnant wife rushes to his bedside
An Australian father who was left fighting for life after falling from a moped while on holiday in Bali has been given the all clear to fly home for emergency treatment.
Kevin Malligan, 24, went on the Indonesian island just weeks before his second child is due to be born in February, but the holiday turned tragic on December 29.
The Sydney man was riding pillion on a moped driven by a friend when the vehicle hit a bump and he fell off and hit his head on the road.
His wife Leah, who rushed to the holiday island fearing she may have to say goodbye to her husband, finally received some reassuring news from doctors.
'Last night we got the all clear from his CT scan to say his brain is fit enough to book the medical flight home,' she told Daily Mail Australia on Monday morning.
Leah Malligan (pictured with her arms around her husband Kevin) finally got some good news about his condition on Sunday night

'It's just a matter of time, of getting the money to make that flight happen. We are nearly there so we aren't losing hope.
'We have made the decision to keep him in a coma and on life support until we can get him that flight back home to Australia,' Ms Malligan said.
The news came on New Year's Eve - marking a sad twist for Mr Malligan who had specifically visited the island to usher in the new year.
When he fell off the bike, Mr Malligan suffered a brain bleed and fractured his neck, and was rushed to the Nussa Dua Hospital in a critical condition.
Despite being 32 weeks pregnant, his wife flew to Bali to say goodbye to him in case the worst happened.
Ms Malligan said her husband wasn't doing anything silly, or drinking, when the crash happened.
'He and his friend just hit a bump in the road four minutes away from where they were meant to be.'
She had tried to get travel insurance for him that would cover scooters, but there was nothing available.
The family's medical expenses are already up to $90,000, even before a flight back to Australia.
Her parents, Jodie and Belinda French, have set up a GoFundMe page to help raise funds for their daughter and son-in-law.
By early Monday morning it had raised almost $80,000 of its $100,000 goal.
Ms Malligan flew to Bali with Mr Malligan's father and brother, to be by his side, her parents wrote.

'This is a very difficult and emotional time for all of us,' they said.
Early on New Year's Eve, before she got the positive update, Ms Malligan posted a photo of her by her husband's bedside and said she wanted 'to send everyone a massive thank you for all your donations, support and beautiful messages.
'We can't thank our friends, family and the community enough. We will be forever grateful.
'Kev is stable after his surgery which is more then I could ever wish for. Please keep him in your prayers. You've got this Kev.'
Her parents wrote that 'There will be some substantial medical and other bills that will be forthcoming after such a surgery.
'We do not want to burden Leah and his family with this at such a difficult time.
'Leah and Kevin have a two year daughter, Ivy, and are expecting their 2nd child in early February 2024.
'We can only hope and pray for them in this time of great difficulty.'

Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh is creating quite a stir of speculation as to what his future plans are. The coach is hiring a new agent with NFL ties, per NFL Network and ESPN.
Harbaugh is hiring Don Yee to represent him. Yee has been a long-time NFL agent who represented Tom Brady and Sean Payton, among others. Michigan is still working hard to keep Harbaugh, and had discussions with him on a long-term contract, per The Athletic.
The long-time Michigan football coach has his Wolverines team in the College Football Playoff for the third year in a row. While Harbaugh has had a great deal of success at the school, he also had success in the NFL as a head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. Michigan hasn't made the national championship the last two years, and some believe the window could be closing for Harbaugh to get a national championship at Michigan.
Harbaugh is expected to field calls from several NFL franchises about their head coaching vacancies this off-season. There are a number of teams who would want a former NFL Coach of the Year, an award Harbaugh won in 2011. He took the 49ers to a Super Bowl in 2012, as well as two other NFC Championship game appearances.
Harbaugh though still has unfinished business in the college ranks. The Michigan football program is in the national semi-final on New Year's Day, playing the SEC Champion Alabama Crimson Tide. If Michigan wins that game, they would play either Texas or Washington in the National Championship.
Michigan and Alabama face off in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1. The game kicks off at 5:00 Eastern. | https://clutchpoints.com/michigan-football-news-jim-harbaugh-hires-agent-who-will-only-add-fuel-nfl-fire | 2024-01-01T03:25:21Z |
27 Russian children returned from Iraq to Russia
"The IL-76 plane of the Russian Emergencies Ministry arrived from Baghdad at the Ramenskoye Airport with 27 Russian children aged from 4 to 13 years onboard," the spokesman said.
According to the ministry, the children had a good flight, they were accompanied by rescuers, pediatricians and psychologists.
Earlier, an official with the press service of the Presidential Commissioner for the Rights of the Child Anna Kuznetsova told TASS that children from 10 regions of Russia would be brought to Moscow from Baghdad.
The official added that the children will be taken to the National Medical Research Center for Children's Health. There they will be handed to their relatives and guardians. All the necessary documents for custody are ready.
On December 30, the Russian Emergencies Ministry's flight evacuated 30 Russian children aged between three and 15 years from Iraq. According to Kuznetsova's press service, an inter-agency commission dealing with the return of children from combat zones has information about 699 underage Russian nationals whose parents took them to the Middle East. | https://en.inform.kz/news/27-russian-children-returned-from-iraq-to-russia_a3497136/ | 2024-01-01T03:25:22Z |
(CNN) — Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper was seen on video as he appeared to throw a drink into the crowd at EverBank Stadium near the end of the team’s 26-0 loss to the host Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
In the viral video circulating on social media, a visibly frustrated Tepper is seen in a suite at the stadium, along with Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer, when he appears to empty his drink into the stands before tossing away the cup.
The incident occurred after Carolina rookie quarterback Bryce Young threw an interception toward the end of the fourth quarter, sealing the team’s shutout loss.
“We are aware of the video and have no further comment at this time,” an NFL spokesperson told CNN in a statement.
CNN has reached out to the Carolina Panthers for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Carolina’s shutout loss was particularly significant as not only did it drop the Panthers to a 2-14 record with one game left in the season, but it secured the No. 1 pick of the NFL Draft to the Chicago Bears.
In March, the Panthers agreed to trade their 2024 first-round pick, 2023 first-round (No. 9) and second-round (No. 61) picks along with wide receiver DJ Moore to the Bears for the 2023 No. 1 pick, which allowed the team to draft Young.
Earlier this year, the team fired head coach Frank Reich after a 1-10 start to the season. Reich was the third head coach that has been fired in the past five seasons, after Matt Rhule was fired following a 1-4 start last season – his third year – after Ron Rivera, in his ninth season, was let go during the 2019 season when the Panthers started 5-7.
Since Tepper bought the the team in 2018, the Panthers have a 31-67 record, which ranks as the second-worst record in the NFL in that span, and have missed the playoffs every season.
Tepper also owns Charlotte FC, an MLS team. In November the team fired head coach Christian Lattanzio despite reaching the playoffs in their second year.

When you hear the term natural selection, you likely think of change, but new research suggests the mechanism can also preserve similarities between populations.
Biologists have a pretty solid grasp on the basic process of evolution. Genetic diversity in a population is the result of mutation, some of which create traits that help individuals thrive better in the present environment. Those traits have a good shot at being passed on, while characteristics that aren't so useful tend not to be represented in future generations. This is natural selection.
Evolutionary biologists most often study variation within and between populations and species, but there's more to life than what makes us all different.
"We always talk about the vast diversity of life and we should. It's incredible," says evolutionary biologist Jeff Conner from Michigan State University, lead author of the new study.
"Natural selection has given us a lot of that diversity, probably most of it. But natural selection can also cause similarities."
Conner and colleagues from the US and China worked with wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum). Where once its pollen-producing organs were all the same length, today they have two short and four long stamens.
Unexpectedly, previous research has suggested selection maintains this length difference, known as 'anther separation', despite the fact we don't know why.
Additive genetic variation – where several genes contribute to a trait – is required for traits to evolve. In what's known as constraint, a lack of this variance tends to impede evolution even if it's favorable to evolve.
Constraint is based on the idea that as species change over time, they can lose genetic flexibility in some ways, causing certain traits to stabilize across generations.
Where natural selection is considered to be the engine of change, constraint is the brakes.
"Our work flips the script on that a little bit," Conner says. "We're suggesting that selection can also slow things down, that it can cause similarities as well as differences."
The team wanted to see if constraint could be preventing the anther separation from evolving in the previous study. They used artificial selection to breed wild radishes to restore their appearance to their more primitive state, which consisted of a smaller gap between stamens.
"If a trait responds to artificial selection, it clearly can evolve," the authors explain in their paper.
"But if the trait does not respond, there is a constraint caused by a lack of genetic variation."
The study involved six generations, with 3,437 wild radish plants grown and measured. Through artificial selection the researchers were able to reduce the difference in the lengths of the stamen by more than 30 percent.
This change shows today's wild radish, and probably its relatives, still have the genetic variation they need to evolve, making it unlikely they are being constrained.
Instead, natural selection appears to be maintaining a difference in their stamen lengths.
"This family of plants has maintained this four-long, two-short trait over 50 million years and we can get rid of a third of the difference in five generations, which would be five years," Conner says. "My guess is if we kept going, we would get back to six stamens of equal length."
The scientists have designed experiments to investigate whether or not the stamens' varying lengths confer any benefit to R. raphanistrum when it comes to the way pollinators interact with the plant.
"Natural selection is very important," says Conner. "A lot of things people have thought selection couldn't do, we're learning selection can do."

2023 Was Earth's Hottest Year Ever, AND The Climate Outlook Is Finally Improving
Our money is very much on Hope.
No two ways about it: 2023 was the hottest year on record, even before the temperature data for all of December is tabulated, beating out the previous hottest year, 2016. The heat from global warming led to extreme weather around the world, causing devastating flooding in Pakistan and deadly heat waves in India and the USA, as well as contributing to vast wildfires in Canada that turned skylines across the US bloody red. The city of Lahaina on Maui disappeared overnight due to wildfires made worse by drought and by years of invasive grasses spreading unchecked.
This is the year a lot of humans realized, yes, this is how things are going to be: Some years may be better, many years likely to be worse, and the only way to keep things from getting much much worse is to stop burning fossil fuels. Period.
Now the good news: Despite the endless foot dragging since most scientists started yelling about the threat in the 1980s and 1990s, Our Stupid Species is finally taking the crisis seriously and taking real actions to transition away from fossil fuels. There’s really no doubt anymore that the energy transition is underway; the question now is how rapidly we can manage to do it, and how much climate damage we can prevent by acting right now. Despair is a waste of time, and at this point probably worse than denial. Both are excuses to do nothing, which would be a damn shame at a time when the technology and money are finally rolling out solutions.
Let’s look at some highlights for 2023, and keep in mind that the elections of 2024 really will decide whether we build on that progress toward a clean energy future.
Enhanced Geothermal Energy Works!
In November, a modest little pilot plant in Nevada set the stage for a huge change in how we generate electricity: An enhanced geothermal plant built by Fervo Energy began delivery of power to the grid. It’s not a lot of power, but it’s remarkable because of how it works: Instead of having to find spots like Iceland where volcanic activity heats up groundwater, enhanced geothermal drills into the earth to find heat, then adds water to get the steam that drives turbines.
This is game-changing stuff, with the potential to cover the gap in the maximum amount of energy that can come from wind, solar, and storage. There’s every reason to think that the US can reach its goal of phasing out fossil fuel for power generation by 2035.
EVs Are Really Here, Not Just Toys
OK, they’ve been well past the “toy” phase for quite a while now, and yes, the transition won’t happen overnight, which is good news because it will take time to get the charging infrastructure built. But the first public charging stations funded by the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law are being built now (even if Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine forgot to credit Joe Biden), and will be coming online in 2024. EV sales topped 1 million nationwide, the nation set new fuel efficiency records, and the EPA announced emissions standards that will force automakers to go zero emissions or go home. Oh yeah, and the economic benefits of Biden’s climate policy, including the surge in constructing battery factories, are projected to provide a boost to working class Americans and communities hit hardest by pollution.
And don’t believe the lies about EVs being “worse” for the environment than internal combustion vehicles. There’s a climate cost for everything, yes, but the amount of stuff dug out of the ground for renewable energy and EVs is, and will remain, a tiny fraction of the filth necessary for gas-burning vehicles. That carbon cost will only decrease as the grid relies more on renewable energy, too. We even have electric mining equipment now. Yes, we absolutely need to address the human rights abuses against miners in the developing world, but A) fossil fuel production is terrible for worker rights around the world, and 2) there’s nothing about minerals needed for EV batteries that inherently abuses workers; that’s a capitalism problem. Let’s fix that, absolutely.
Most People Know It’s Time To Act
This year’s COP28 climate summit in Dubai was in many ways nothing to cheer about. The president of the conference, the UAE’s freaking national oil company CEO, brazenly claimed it was impossible to ever phase out fossil fuels, which simply isn’t true according to energy experts and climate scientists who aren’t employed by Big Oil. On the upside, he looked like a goddamned idiot with the entire world paying attention to him.
And instead of a strong commitment to actually phase out fossil fuels — an absolute necessity to slow and halt global warming — COP28 adopted a resolution to “transition away” from fossil fuels, without any timeline or firm commitment to get rid of them altogether.
That was very much a mixed bag: far short of the commitment needed, but also historic in that it was the first time a UN climate summit had actually named what needs to be done, however vaguely.
In a sense, it’s a good summation of where we are on climate: We all know what needs to be done, and we want our governments to do it. We’re even starting, after wasting decades, to do it, and we still have time to prevent the absolute worst effects — the ones that are baked in by previous inaction will be plenty bad enough. As the Fifth National Climate Assessment found, America is making progress on curbing its carbon emissions, but “without deeper cuts in global net greenhouse gas emissions and accelerated adaptation efforts,” climate disasters will only get worse.
So here’s the hope part: Every incremental amount of carbon reduction humanity manages is a step toward a livable future. It’s on us, right now, to determine the future of the planet’s climate, as the Climate Assessment reminded us; I’ve added the boldface:
While there are still uncertainties about how the planet will react to rapid warming and catastrophic future scenarios that cannot be ruled out, the future is largely in human hands.
There are so many smart people busting their asses to get us there. I’m on their side.

Here, take these year-end awards and be done with it
Men behaving badly, men behaving too nicely to be true. And Harmanpreet. In our prize-giving look back at the year that was
Andrew Fidel Fernando and Alan Gardner

When will the year-end wrap-ups stop already?
Won't the ICC reveal its teams of the year soon? Won't this website hand out its annual awards, so people on Instagram and Twitter (currently X) can outrage over all of it? It's way too much. Haven't the rest of us watched enough cricket in 2023 to deserve not being talked down to by cricket journalists and pundits?
Anyway, here's the Briefing + Light Roller's year-end prize-giving.
Team of the Year - India Men
So okay, they didn't win the Test Championship final at The Oval. And yes, they didn't quite seal the deal with the ODI World Cup in Ahmedabad, and have, in fact, won zero global tournaments since 2013.
So okay, they didn't win the Test Championship final at The Oval. And yes, they didn't quite seal the deal with the ODI World Cup in Ahmedabad, and have, in fact, won zero global tournaments since 2013.
But are these really the numbers that matter? Because it occurs to us that in 2023, no team commanded the kinds of broadcast revenues that brought so much wealth to so many corporate suits. It occurs to us that no team sold as many SUVs, drove more internet traffic, or prompted the ICC to bend over backwards to accommodate them as much.
If you are still a cynic, perhaps that's because you are beyond saving. The rest of us will think of all the hyper-rich 12-year-olds who can now laze in their giant swimming pool in their summer vacation house, as well as in the jacuzzi of their winter resort. We will break into a smile thinking of the million-dollar crypto purchases that were made possible. And we will have our sentimental little hearts warmed by the knowledge that so many hangers-on will now have the basic dignity of being flown in private jets to Dubai, rather than on commercial flights, because dammit, isn't this what sport is all about?
Hyperwoke Snowflake of the Year - Pat Cummins
In October, Pat Cummins won Athlete of the Year at the BBC's Green Sport Awards, partly, you suspect, for his throwing shade at a sponsor believed to be a serious greenhouse gas emitter. Come on, Pat. Are we really playing this game? How can you raise objections against polluters in a manner consistent with your values when you have not yet moved to the jungle to live as a loincloth-wearing hermit? Maybe focus on the cricket and try to win a trophy next year.

Moral High Ground / Saving Humanity Award - England
There were serious candidates for this. Angelo Mathews roared down from what he felt was a moral Burj Khalifa when he accused Bangladesh of being the only team who would appeal for a "timed-out" dismissal. New Zealand, as usual, tried their usual thing of being better than everyone by not outwardly appearing like they're better than everyone.

New Zealand, as usual, tried their usual thing of being better than everyone by not outwardly appearing like they're better than everyone.
And yet England, historic claimants of cricketing and all other moral high grounds, have again run an impeccable campaign. The obvious high point was their astonishing outrage over the stumping of Jonny Bairstow by Alex Carey.
But England, their souls ever summoned by the greatest of causes, have also unilaterally decided that Test cricket needed saviours, and that only they could step into the breach their own board had helped create. Teams other than England, Australia and India continued to see a decline in the number of three-Test series they play in a two-year cycle. What is this, though, compared to Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Zak Crawley and the fellas absolutely thumping the daylights out of every ball they come across, the madlads.

The DGAF Award - Shakib Al Hasan
Another tightly contested category, from Carey's risky bit of Ashes Bair-baiting to the completely-reasonable-and-100%-ICC-endorsed decision by the BCCI to change the pitch used for the World Cup semi-final. But way out in front in the cold-blooded stakes was Shakib, as Mathews (see above) tarried for fateful seconds over the clasp on his helmet strap. With a barely perceptible murmur and a nod of the head, Bangladesh's controversy-friendly captain pulled the pin on a mode of dismissal never before seen in international cricket - and all for the greater glory of finishing eighth on the table and bumping out Sri Lanka for a spot at the 2025 Champions Trophy.

Essentially, they took aim at their own feet and managed to shoot themselves through the unmentionables.
Disrespect for Umpiring Award - Harmanpreet Kaur
The ICC had its Spirit of Cricket Award for years. We want to go on record saying this is just as meaningless.
The ICC had its Spirit of Cricket Award for years. We want to go on record saying this is just as meaningless.
Harmanpreet was given out caught at slip off a bat-pad, but smashed her stumps in displeasure at that dismissal. And then when India and Bangladesh shared the series trophy at the presentation, in a fit of genius passive-aggression she invited the umpires - who were Bangladeshi - to be part of the photograph as well, insinuating they should also take credit for the result.

As most bowl games regularly change names or corporate sponsors and suffer from a parade of opt-outs, the Rose Bowl remains by far the most prestigious bowl game in college football, and this year it takes on extra meaning. As the host of one of the two College Football Playoff semifinal games, the winner of the Rose Bowl will also punch their ticket to the National Championship Game, which will be played in Houston, Texas. But no matter how things play out in Pasadena on New Year's Day, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh has already made some impressive history related to the bowl game that legendary college football broadcaster Keith Jackson regularly referred to as “The Granddaddy of Them All.”
With Michigan's appearance in the Rose Bowl, Jim Harbaugh becomes just the twelfth individual to both play in and coach in the Rose Bowl in its one-hundred-plus year history, and an accomplishment of that magnitude is not lost on the controversial Wolverines coach.
“You grow up watching the Rose Bowl New Year's Day,” Harbaugh said, per college football insider Brett McMurphy There's a couple feet of snow outside and you're like laying on your stomach in front of the TV looking at palm trees, parade and the football game. Halftime we were outside playing football in the snow and then it kind of turns from the day to the night when you watch the Rose Bowl. I know that's why a lot of people in the Midwest probably move to California. You wanted to be there. Got to be there as a player and got to actually be there as a kid because my dad was coaching at Michigan & we went to three straight Rose Bowls. Now here as a coach, it's pretty awesome.”
Aside from Jim Harbaugh, the other eleven men who belong to this exclusive group are Bret Bielema, Rick Neuheisel, Bob Stoops, Terry Donahue, John Robinson, Pete Elliott, Bump Elliott, Tommy Prothro, Chuck Taylor, Jess Hill, and Charles Huntington. Harbaugh's lone appearance as a player came in 1987, when the Michigan Wolverines suffered a 22-15 loss to Arizona State, so against the Alabama Crimson Tide, Harbaugh will hope for a much different result. | https://clutchpoints.com/michigan-football-news-jim-harbaugh-waxes-poetic-joining-exclusive-club-play-coach-rose-bowl | 2024-01-01T03:25:28Z |

Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch tops Conservative poll to become the next Party leader after Rishi Sunak
- Kemi Badenoch has topped a Tory members' survey to succeed as next leader
- The Business Secretary is favourite in the Conservative Home poll at 38 per cent
Kemi Badenoch is the favourite to become the next Tory Party leader, according to a poll of members.
The Business Secretary tops the league table of the Conservative Home poll with 38 per cent of the vote.
Penny Mordaunt is second on 23 per cent, and Suella Braverman third on 14 per cent. No other minister makes it to double percentage figures.
Both Mrs Badenoch and Mrs Braverman have been heavily tipped for a future leadership bid, having thrown their names into the hat to replace Boris Johnson when he stepped down.
However, despite not being Tory MPs, and so ineligible for the leadership, 18 members backed Nigel Farage, and 16 Boris Johnson.
Kemi Badenoch is the favourite to become the next Tory Party leader, according to a poll of members.
Conservative Home also runs a monthly league table of Cabinet ministers' popularity, which saw Rishi Sunak (pictured) fall to his lowest negative rating to date this month
Paul Goodman, editor of the Tory grassroots website, said that it was the first Next Tory Leader survey conducted for two years, apart from those during the leadership elections.
Should the Conservatives lose the general election, Tory members will play the key role in selecting the next leader of the Party, so the poll of 647 is a good indication of which MPs are popular.
Mrs Badenoch also won Conservative Minister of the Year, followed by Mrs Braverman and Ms Mordaunt.
Mr Goodman said: 'If both our survey and YouGov were right, she was the membership's candidate of choice during the first leadership election of 2022.
'She has perhaps been at her most visible this year taking robust positions on trans conversion therapy and trans pupils in schools.'
ConservativeHome also runs a monthly league table of Cabinet ministers' popularity, which saw Mr Sunak fall to his lowest negative rating to date this month.
Mrs Badenoch came out on top, followed by Ms Mordaunt and Johnny Mercer, the veterans' minister. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12915573/Kemi-Badenoch-Conservative-poll-leader.html | 2024-01-01T03:25:28Z |
(CNN) — Rafael Nadal made his long-awaited injury comeback on Sunday, playing in his first match since January when he took to the court with doubles partner Marc Lopez at the Brisbane International – and he didn’t rule out continuing to play after the 2024 season.
Although the Spanish pair lost 6-4 6-4 to Australians Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson, Nadal unleashed some powerful winners, moving more freely around the court after undergoing hip surgery to treat the injury that forced him to miss most of last season.
The 22-time grand slam champion has battled a series of injuries of late and said in May that 2024 will likely be his last year on tour but, on Sunday, he didn’t rule out continuing past this date.
“The problem about saying it’s going to be my last season is that I can’t predict what’s going on 100% in the future. That’s the thing,” Nadal said ahead of his comeback match, according to Reuters. “That’s why I say probably.
“It’s obvious it’s a high percentage that it’s going to be my last time playing in Australia. But if I’m here next year, don’t tell me, ‘You said it’s going to be your last season,’ because I didn’t say it,” he added.
“You never know what’s going on, you know? I can’t predict how I’m going to be in the next six months. I can’t predict if my body will allow me to enjoy tennis as much as I enjoyed the past 20 years.”
Some of Nadal’s competitors, including Holger Rune and Andy Murray, have noted the “intensity” with which he is playing, but the 37-year-old played down their comments.
“If you ask my colleagues how I feel, they will not come here and say, ‘Rafa is playing like disaster’,” he said, per the Brisbane International website.
“I feel what they said (does) have not much value because, of course, you ask me how they’re playing, I will say they’re playing great too. You will not talk negative things about colleagues.”
Nadal will make his singles comeback on Tuesday, facing former world No. 3 Dominic Thiem in the first round at the Brisbane International, a tournament often used by players preparing for the Australian Open.
The Spaniard will then make his grand slam return at the Australian Open, a tournament he has won twice and which begins on January 14.

Researchers taking part in the Human Brain Project have identified a mathematical rule that governs the distribution of neurons in our brains.
The rule predicts how neurons are distributed in different parts of the brain, and could help scientists create precise models to understand how the brain works and develop new treatments for neurological diseases.
In the wonderful world of statistics, if you consider any continuous random variable, the logarithm of that variable will often follow what's known as a lognormal distribution. Defined by the mean and standard deviation, it can be visualized as a bell-shaped curve, only with the curve being wider than what you'd find in a normal distribution.
A team of researchers from the Jülich Research Center and the University of Cologne in Germany found the number of neurons in areas of the outer layer of neural tissue in different mammals fits a lognormal distribution.
Mathematics aside, a simple and important distinction is the symmetry of the normal distribution bell curve and the asymmetry and heavy right-skewed tail of the lognormal distribution, due to a large number of small values and a few significantly large values.
The size of a population across a country is often lognormally distributed, with a few very large cities and many small towns and villages.
Brain structure and function depend on neuron numbers and arrangement. The density of neurons in different regions and layers of that outer tissue layer – the cerebral cortex – varies considerably.
"The distribution of neuron densities influences the network connectivity," says neuroscientist Sacha van Albada of the Jülich Research Center.
"For instance, if the density of synapses is constant, regions with lower neuron density will receive more synapses per neuron."
The statistical distributions of neuron densities are still largely unknown, though research has certainly provided us with fascinating discoveries about our brain's cellular tissues.
To conduct their research, the team used nine open-source datasets covering seven different species: mouse, marmoset, macaque, galago, owl monkey, baboon, and human. When the neuron densities in different regions of the cortex were compared, a common pattern of a lognormal distribution emerged.
"Our results are in agreement with the observation that surprisingly many characteristics of the brain follow lognormal distributions," the authors write in their paper.
A lognormal distribution is a natural result of processes that multiply, just like normal distribution is a natural result of adding up many independent variables.
"One reason why it may be very common in nature is because it emerges when taking the product of many independent variables," says Alexander van Meegen, who co-led the research as part of his PhD in computational neuroscience at the Jülich Research Centre.
The researchers say the way the cortex is structured could be a byproduct of development or evolution that has nothing to do with computation.
But previous research suggests brain neural network variation is more than just a byproduct and may actively help animals learn in changing environments. And the fact that the same organization can be seen in different species and in most parts of the cortex suggests that the lognormal distribution is used for something.
"We cannot be sure how the lognormal distribution of neuron densities will influence brain function, but it will likely be associated with high network heterogeneity, which may be computationally beneficial," explains co-lead author Aitor Morales-Gregorio, a computational neuroscientist at the Jülich Research Centre.
Scientists hope this discovery will shed light on how the brain stores and retrieves information, as well as how it acquires new knowledge. In the ongoing quest to find effective treatments for brain disease, it may pave the way for the creation of new drugs that target specific regions of the brain.
The Human Brain Project's ten-year effort to establish a shared research infrastructure for boosting neuroscience, computing, and brain-related medicine is coming to a close, and it's given us some interesting discoveries along the way.
The study has been published in Cerebral Cortex. | https://www.sciencealert.com/neurons-in-the-brain-appear-to-follow-a-distinct-mathematical-pattern | 2024-01-01T03:25:32Z |
As far as I know, there has never been a Wonkette’s Sexiest Man Alive, or a Wonkette’s Sexiest Woman Alive. Sure, we all have our crushes, perhaps on a certain Senator who is very handsome but also maybe a little too tight with the pharmaceutical industry for our taste. But one fella in particular swept us (and by us, I mean me, Rebecca and Rebecca’s mom) off our feet this year, which was fairly ironic given that the thing that made him most famous was his “stand-up strike.” That man? Shawn Fain, who is not an Irish political party, but a human person who is president of the United Auto Workers union.
This year, a Gallup poll found that 67 percent of Americans said they supported labor unions, and that number increased to 75 percent when people were directly asked who they sided with in the UAW strike — workers or management.
A poll conducted by the AFL-CIO found support from 71 percent of Americans, with 88 percent support from those under 30.
This is all a very big deal given that as recently as 2009, support of unions was at 48 percent.
No one would look at Shawn Fain and think “Boy, that guy seems like he would be the kind of radical who would take on the Big Three automakers, win, and then set off a tidal wave of unionization efforts across the auto industry and beyond.” But that’s what he did, because it was what workers needed and deserved.
He rallied public support by hammering the fact that workers had graciously taken a financial hit to help save the American auto industry and that when the industry did recover and was posting record profits, it did not occur to management to share that bounty with their workers. That struck a nerve due to the inherent unfairness of it all and the fact that we know that right now, many corporations are also posting record profits for themselves while jacking up prices for consumers (and not paying their workers more either).
Fain said, openly, in a New York Times profile, that he does not believe that billionaires have a “right to exist” — upending the phrase long weaponized by billionaires and temporarily embarrassed billionaires to suggest that mere criticism of how they became billionaires is practically genocide against their kind. As if there is not some difference between taxation and regulation and busting out the literal guillotines and actually murdering them all, or that such regulation would be akin to “punishing them for being successful.”
But Fain has long been a bit feisty. His UAW bio even notes that “at council meetings, he was ostracized for speaking up against the agreements as they didn’t serve the best interest of the Membership” and that he “has been a long-time fighter for the members on the plant floor, many times putting his own job on the line for standing up against vice presidents that wanted to implement policies that would have a negative impact on the membership.”
It takes a lot of guts to do that, especially for someone who personally knows how hard it is to struggle financially. “When you go through hardship and are laid off, live on $80-a-week unemployment, apply for government aid to get formula and diapers for your child, it makes you realize what it takes to survive in this world,” Fain said in the same New York Times profile.

“There are some that are trying to say that I'm raising members' expectations too high. They think it's dangerous to tell the working class that they deserve more. I want to be clear: I didn't raise our expectations. Our broken economy is what's raising our members' expectations.”
"They pretend the sky will fall if we get our fair share of the quarter of a trillion dollars the Big Three have made over the past decade. It’s the billionaire economy — that's what they are worried about."
“Every fiber of our union is being poured into fighting the billionaire class and an economy that enriches people like Donald Trump at the expense of workers. We can’t keep electing billionaires and millionaires that don’t have any understanding what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to get by and expecting them to solve the problems of the working class.”
“We’re all fed up with living in a world that values profits over people. We’re all fed up with seeing the rich get richer while the rest of us just continue to scrape by. We’re all fed up with corporate greed and together, we’re going to fight like hell to change it.”
“I believe that great things are possible, but only if we are able to shed our fear. Only if we stop letting the billionaire class define what is possible and what is realistic. They have spent decades convincing us that we are weak. Convincing us that it’s futile to fight. Convincing us that we should be grateful for the scraps they give us. I’m here to tell you, those days are behind us and today we take the next step in leaving that past behind. But to do that, again, we must have faith in each other.”
"Our union just showed the world what's possible when workers unite to fight for more."
“The very existence of billionaires shows us that we have an economy that is working for the benefit of the few, and not the many. It feels like we’ve gone so far backwards that we have to fight just to have the 40-hour workweek back. Why is that? So another asshole can make enough money to shoot himself to the moon?”
(Fine with that, actually, so long as they never come back.)
And Check Out Our Coverage Of Shawn Fain And The UAW Strike This Year
Honestly, it’s just incredibly refreshing to see someone in some kind of position of authority not freaking cowering and going “Oh no! But if we upset the people in power, there will be backlash and they will punish us for it and we will all surely die!” The more people like Shawn Fain do it, the more everyone else will realize they can do it too. And that is pretty sexy if you ask us! | https://www.wonkette.com/p/wonkettes-2023-sexiest-person-alive | 2024-01-01T03:25:32Z |
Missouri football is standing by their man. The school is awarding football coach Eliah Drinkwitz a contract extension after defeating Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl, per The Athletic. Drinkwitz and Missouri football just finished a very successful 11-2 campaign in the rigorous SEC.
Missouri football capped off an incredible year with a 14-3 win over Ohio State in the bowl game. The team finished with ten or more wins for the first time in Drinkwitz's tenure at the school. The Tigers' only losses were to Georgia and LSU in close games. Other than the win over Ohio State, Missouri also got quality wins over Kansas State, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
Drinkwitz received a great amount of praise for his work during the 2023 season with Missouri football. He finished third in the voting for the Associated Press' national coach of the year award. He also won the SEC coach of the year award.
Drinkwitz is now 28-21 at Missouri after four seasons in Columbia. The contract extension goes through the 2028 season. He was 12-1 in one season at Appalachian State in 2019, before taking the Missouri job. He had back-to-back 6-7 seasons with losses in bowl games before the 2023 campaign.
Missouri football will be looked at as a contender in the SEC for the 2024 season. The conference is getting even harder, as Texas and Oklahoma join the SEC in all sports. Missouri plays Oklahoma in Columbia in 2024. The Tigers travel to Alabama, and also have non conference matchups against Boston College, Buffalo, UMass, and Murray State.
Before his time as a head coach, Drinkwitz was an assistant at North Carolina State, Boise State, Auburn and some other schools. | https://clutchpoints.com/missouri-football-news-eli-drinkwitz-rewarded-contract-extension-after-beating-ohio-state-in-cotton-bowl | 2024-01-01T03:25:34Z |

The Pokemon Company has released its latest Pokemon TCG expansion with the Paradox Rift expansion set. Within this set of cards that were released last November 3, 2023, we see more of the Terastal phenomenon happening around the region of Paldea being ported over in the Trading Card format of the Pokemon franchise. Let's take a look at the most stunning cards which happen to be the most expensive cards in the Paradox Rift expansion as well. Would you have happened to pull any of these cards? Make sure to keep them nice and secure as these cards can be sold at a high price.
Most Expensive Cards in Pokemon TCG: Paradox Rift Expansion Set
The latest release of Pokemon TCG: Paradox Rift expansion set introduces more Pokemon ex coming from the Paradox Rift (based on the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet game) either in their Ancient or Future variants. Unfortunately in this expansion set, pull rates are a little more lower than the Scarlet and Violet 151 set making Pokemon Trainers have to spend more to actually get some of these most expensive cards in the Pokemon TCG: Paradox Rift expansion set like Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant which ranks somewhere in this list as one of the most expensive cards from Paradox Rift.
Prices for the cards are based on the popular TCG website, TCGPlayer, and are all reliable and accurate. They reflect the current market price and we let you know why these cards are priced as such for either being too rare or really that useful in terms of actual Pokemon TCG gameplay.
10. Golisopod ex (Special Illustration Rare)
Current Market Price: $17.07
Type: Water
HP: 270
Weakness: Lightning x2
Resistance: None

Description: –
Swing and Skedaddle
Damage: 170
Energy Cost: Water Energy x1, Normal Energy x2
Description: Discard an Energy from this Pokemon. If you do, switch it with 1 of your Benched Pokemon.
Golisopod ex doesn't really make that much of a difference in terms of Pokemon TCG's current meta but given that it is a Special Illustration Rare in a set that has a pretty low pull rate, this Golisopod ex card makes the list being one of the most expensive cards in the set. This particular card's design has been made by illustrator Oku who has been made famous for his depictions of Pokemon that have densely detailed scenes that are all dominated by a single hue.
9. Tapu Koko ex (Special Illustration Rare)
Current Market Price: $17.10
Type: Lightning
HP: 210
Weakness: Fighting x2
Resistance: None
Retreat Cost: Normal Energy x1
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Moveset:
Vengeful Shock
Damage: 30+
Energy Cost: Lightning Energy x1, Normal Energy x1
Description: If any of your Pokemon were Knocked Out by damage from an attack from your opponent's Pokémon during their last turn, this attack does 90 more damage, and your opponent's Active Pokemon is now Paralyzed.
Extreme Current
Damage: 180
Energy Cost: Lightning Energy x2, Normal Energy x1
Description: Discard an Energy from this Pokémon.
Except for this card being a Special Illustration Rare card, Tapu Koko ex actually is a pretty decent card that is very viable to use in a Pokemon TCG match. With an attack that hits as hard as 180 with only three energy cards required, you can easily speed up your energy attachment with cards like Electric Generator and have it switched up to the Active Spot and start knocking out basic Pokemon as well as Stage 1 Pokemon left and right.
Focusing on the card's design, the illustrator Jerky made sure that everything looked as amazing as it could be by utilizing flat and colorful art that carries Tapu Koko ex to a decent spot in the most expensive cards in Paradox Rift.
8. Parasol Lady (Special Illustration Rare)
Current Market Price: $26.15
Type: Trainer
HP: None
Weakness: None
Resistance: None
Retreat Cost: None
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Description:
Shuffle your hand into your deck. Then draw 4 cards. If you go second and it's your first turn, draw 8 cards instead. You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn.
When in a pickle, cards like the Parasol Lady are what help us get out of a pinch. This card has a straightforward functionality that can easily turn the tide in your favor. This is nothing pretty new in the Pokemon TCG meta but given that this card is a Special Illustration Rare card and is illustrated by a very talented artist named En Morikura, makes it more special. See the rainbow reflected in the NPC's eyes? Those kinds of details are what make this card one of a kind and valued at a high price despite it being a generic NPC and a usual card that Pokemon TCG players would use.
7. Altaria ex (Special Illustration Rare)
Current Market Price: $24.59
Type: Dragon
HP: 260
Weakness: –
Resistance: –
Retreat Cost: Normal Energy x1
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare

Once during your turn, you may heal 20 damage from each of your Pokemon.
Light Pulse
Damage: 140
Energy Cost: Water Energy x1, Normal Energy x1
Description: During your opponent's next turn, prevent all effects of attacks used by your opponent's Pokemon done to this Pokemon. (Damage is not an effect.)
Having the ability to heal and regain 20 HP is pretty useful – Make that 20 HP for all of your Pokemon? That makes it even more useful. Altaria can be a powerful support Pokemon at the beginning stages of your Pokemon TCG matches and this Paradox Rift expansion set card takes the cake by not letting your opponent affect your Pokemon with a special condition with it's second attack.
This card is also made special as it is a Special Illustration Rare that has great details done by Illustrator Jiro Sasumo. The coastline recedes to the horizon which is framed by clouds as white and fluffy as Altaria's wings with Wingull flying around in the scene.
6. Professor Sada's Vitality
Current Market Price: $27.92
Type: Trainer
HP: None
Weakness: None
Resistance: None
Retreat Cost: None
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Description:
Choose up to 2 of your Ancient Pokemon and attach a Basic Energy card from your discard pile to each of them. If you attached any Energy in this way, draw 3 cards. You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn.
Both Professors that are introduced in the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games were given cards that are named after them. While Professor Turo's help is pretty decent, we can't take away the fact that the Professor Sada card provides better help with its pull. This card helps you accelerate your Energy and lets you draw specific cards. If there's something that Pokemon TCG players love, it's those two things, that's for sure.
5. Garchomp ex (Special Illustration Rare)
Current Market Price: $25.70
Type: Water
HP: 320
Weakness: Lightning x2
Resistance: None
Retreat Cost: None
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Moveset:
Hydro Launcher
Damage: 160
Energy Cost: Fighting Energy x1
Description: Attach up to 3 Basic Fighting Energy from your discard pile to your Benched Pokémon in any way you like.
Sonic Dive
Damage: –
Energy Cost: Normal Energy x2
Description: Discard 2 Energy from this Pokemon. This attack does 120 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokemon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokemon.)
Pokemon TCG meta-wise, Garchomp ex has a lot of potential to stop opponents with their bench building by having the ability to snipe out these Basic and Stage 1 Pokemon with its Sonic Dive attack. This makes it a better sniper by just a little against Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX but what makes it a little more dangerous is that there might be a chance that these two snipers get a chance to be played in the same deck. With the Hydro Launcher attack, you can help put them back to Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX and start going crazy against these Bench Pokemon once again.
4. Iron Hands ex (Special Illustration Rare)
Current Market Price: $29.10
Type: Lightning
HP: 230
Weakness: Fighting x2
Resistance: None
Retreat Cost: Normal Energy x4
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Moveset:
Arm Press
Damage: 160
Energy Cost: Electric Energy x2, Normal Energy x1
Description: –
Amp You Very Much
Damage: 120
Energy Cost: Electric Energy x1, Normal Energy x3
Description: If your opponent's Pokemon is Knocked Out by damage from this attack, take 1 more Prize card.
In the world of Pokemon TCG, you want to get as many Prize Cards as soon as you can to finish the match early and be crowned the victor. With the help of Paradox Pokemon that are unusually stronger than the other Pokemon, Iron Hands ex takes the cake as one of the scariest cards in the Pokemon TCG: Paradox Rift Expansion Set as it can let you take an additional prize card whenever you Knock Out an opponent. Imagine if you Knock Out a Pokemon that lets you draw 2 prize cards, or even 3? Being able to get that bonus prize card would speed your win up!
3. Gholdengo ex (Special Illustration Rare)
Current Market Price: $31.64
Type: Steel
HP: 260
Weakness: Fire x2
Resistance: Grass -30
Retreat Cost: Normal Energy x2
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Moveset:
Ability
Coin Bonus
Once during your turn, you may draw a card. If this Pokemon is in the Active Spot, draw 1 more card.
Make It Rain
Damage: 50x
Energy Cost: Steel Energy x1
Description: Discard any number of Basic Energy cards from your hand. This attack does 50 damage for each card you discarded in this way.
Gholdengo ex probably stands strong as a contender for being one of the strongest and most expensive Pokemon TCG Paradox Rift expansion set cards. With having an Ability that lets you speed up your draws and having an attack that deals 50 damage per card discarded with no maximum number capped? You can easily Knock Out even the toughest and highest HP Pokemon cards in the current rotation!
Being a Special Illustration Card, Akira Koriyama's quirky illustration of the card makes it even harder to pull and puts it above the other Special Illustration Rare cards.
2. Iron Valiant ex (Special Illustration Rare)
Current Market Price: $52.28
Type: Psychic
HP: 220
Weakness: Steel x2
Resistance: –
Retreat Cost: Normal Energy x2
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Moveset:
Ability
Techyon Bits
Once during your turn, when this Pokemon moves from your Bench to the Active Spot, you may put 2 damage counters on 1 of your opponent’s Pokemon.
Laser Blade
Damage: 200
Energy Cost: Steel Energy x1
Description: During your next turn, this Pokemon can’t attack.
If we had Gholdengo ex as one of the most powerful cards in this specific expansion, Iron Valiant ex would be the strongest in the FUTURE cards in Paradox Rift. The Tachyon Bits Ability lets Pokemon TCG players build around it and has the potential to win you an entire game with just the first turn. Look at that Laser Blade attack, 1 Energy card for 200 damage? That is incredibly insane.
As with the other cards in the Pokemon TCG: Paradox Rift expansion set, this particular Special Illustration Rare just screams premium from its illustration all thanks to Kantaro. If Pokemon TCG Players aren't after this card, most likely that Pokemon TCG Collectors are sure to be hungry for this particular card given the beauty that this card holds.
1. Roaring Moon ex (Special Illustration Rare)
Current Market Price: $89.22
Type: Dark
HP: 230
Weakness: Grass x2
Resistance: None
Retreat Cost: Normal Energy x2
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
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.
Roaring Moon ex combines both beauty and functionality that can be deadly for Pokemon TCG Players and Pokemon TCG Collectors alike. The rarity of this card makes it very difficult to pull, especially with the low pull rates for this expansion, this card is something that is sought after by all Pokemon fans.
With the ability to Knock Out a Pokemon regardless of how chonky, tough, or well-thought-out the strategy is just nuts. Roaring Moon ex is one of the Basic Pokemon that can trade blows with powerful Pokemon that are currently in the Pokemon TCG meta as well as the rotation like Charizard ex and Gardevoir ex.

Pro-Palestine protesters march on midtown as NYPD steps up security in Times Square for New Year's Eve countdown
- Mayor Eric Adams said he had the NYPD prepared to step up security ahead of celebrations in Times Square
- The marchers were singing the infamous 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' chant that has been decried as anti-Semitic
- The protesters - suggested to be as many as 3,000 by one reporter were also re-iterating the left-wing calls for a cease-fire in Gaza
Pro-Palestinian protesters are marching through New York City on New Years Eve after Mayor Eric Adams said he had the NYPD prepared to step up security ahead of celebrations in Times Square.
Groups had expressed intentions to protest in Times Square against Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip having already disrupted the Thanksgiving Day Parade and lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.
At least one group was spotted marching from 59th Street all the way down to 45th and 5th Avenue, just a block away from where the ball will drop at midnight.
The marchers were singing the infamous 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' chant that has been decried as anti-Semitic by members of both parties in Congress, as well as the Anti-Defamation League.
The protesters - suggested to be as many as 3,000 by one reporter were also re-iterating the left-wing calls for a cease-fire in Gaza.

Multiple protesters targeted Bronx Democrat Rep. Ritchie Torres, an ardent pro-Israel Congressman.
'Ritchie Torres: blood on your hands! Stop funding genocide!' and 'Money for the Bronx, not for war' declared two signs.
The ongoing wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and heightened tensions in parts of the world, are affecting this year's New Year's Eve celebrations in a myriad of ways.
The group Shut it Down for Palestine appeared to be behind at least some of the protests on Sunday.
An announcement on their website stated: 'We must keep building momentum and increase the pressure with more marches, walk-outs, sit-ins, and other forms of direct action directed at the political offices, businesses, and workplaces that fund, invest, and collaborate with Israeli genocide and occupation.'
Their march was part of their demand for 'an international call to action' for Palestinians during New Year's Eve celebrations.
Many cities were deploying extra security, and some places cancelled New Year's Eve events altogether.
Amid near-daily protests in New York sparked by the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, police said they would expand the security perimeter around the party, creating a 'buffer zone' which will allow them to head off potential demonstrations.

'We will be out here with our canines, on horseback, our helicopters, our boats,' Adams said.
Although there were no identified security threats associated with the celebrations held in the heart of Manhattan, the New York Police Department (NYPD) are taking precautions.
Mayor Adams, together with top NYPD officials held a press conference on Friday afternoon stressing their continued vigilance due to previous incidents, such as an attack on NYPD officers during last year's Times Square ball drop.
'There are no specific threats to the city, but as we saw last year, you don't have to have a specific threat to get a threat, and we're going to be ready,' the mayor said.
'Hundreds of thousands of people will be out here lined up, and no matter how often we see it, you never get used to it, the excitement remains over and over again,' he said.
Officials will also monitor protests with drones, he added. 'But as we saw last year, after having no specific threats, we get a threat.'
During last year's New Year's Eve party, a machete-wielding man attacked three police officers a few blocks from Times Square.
Times Square has been closed off from around 12 pm on New Year's Eve and those who want to get into the area have to go through police checkpoints and security screenings.

It comes after the protestors, who are calling for a ceasefire as 21,000 Palestinians have been killed in the fight between Israel and Hamas, disrupted all of the city's major celebrations and parades since the October attacks.
Assistant Chief John Hart highlighted the department's readiness for groups of varying sizes and points of origin for the protests.
Other pro-Palestine protests in the city over the past couple months have drawn between 1,000 and 5,000 people.
'We're prepared for them in any number,' Hart said. 'We're prepared for different groups from different places, and we will make sure this event stays safe.'
Adams, a Democrat, admitted that it was likely that protesters would attempt to cause disruption in Times Square where more than a million people were expected to gather to celebrate at midnight.
One protester, Katie Unger, referenced the preparation for the celebration in a post on X as she marched a few days ago.
'They are setting up to celebrate New Year's Eve in Times Square. We are here to insist that the people of Gaza and Palestine too have the right to a thriving living peaceful new year.'
The Times Square Alliance has teamed up with the NYPD, private security firms and federal authorities to keep the area safe.

Street closures on New Years Even will start as early as 4am with later roads closing at 11am
Even tighter security will be in force close to the Times Square area
'Like any fine Broadway show, we rehearse everything to make sure there are no problems for opening night,' said Tom Harris, the president of the Times Square Alliance.
Its president Tom Harris said: 'If you're going to come and try to disrupt the event, you're probably not gonna be successful, and if you are, you're going to be arrested.
'So stay home and protest someplace else.'
On Wednesday, police arrested pro-Palestinian protesters that blocked entry to New York City's John F. Kennedy airport on one of the busiest travel days of the year.
Travelers were forced to get out of their cars and walk to the airport with their luggage in New York after activist demanding a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war blocked the road leading to one of the country's biggest and busiest airports.
Video shows protesters joined hands to create a line blocking traffic while holding signs calling for a free Palestine and chanting 'From the sea to the river, Palestine will live forever.'
Port Authority Police are seen arresting the demonstrators and loading them onto an airport bus and taking them into custody.
Thousands of police officers together with a combination of robots, drones and detection dog sare expected to patrol the Times Square area to ensure the safety of the event.

'We're going to have tow trucks strategically parked along the actual New Year's Eve festivities, and we're going to have drones deployed around the outer perimeter so we can monitor the protests, potential protests that are coming in real time,' added Assistant NYPD Commissioner Kaz Daughtry.
With crowds of celebrants expected to pack into Times Square for the festivities, even the smallest details can't be overlooked, said Jeff Straus, president of Countdown Entertainment.
That includes the 2-by-2 inch slips of paper that will flutter to the ground at the stroke of midnight on Sunday.
'This is a whole process,' Straus said. 'We got to feel the confetti. We got to fluff it up. We got to make sure it's going to float.'
While the test may have been more promotional than practical, the actual New Year's confetti release - which has been part of the event since 1992 - remains a labor-intensive operation.

An estimated 3,000 pounds of confetti are trucked into midtown Manhattan each year, then carried to rooftops of office buildings overlooking Times Square.
About a hundred volunteer 'dispersal engineers' then drop the haul on the street below to ring in the new year.
Beyond the confetti, a flurry of other preparations were underway for the celebration, which runs from 6pm on Sunday night until after midnight.

Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen are back on the BOOZE as they break last year's prohibition and down tequila shots at New Year's Eve show in Times Square
- Cooper shared a bottle of tequila with Cohen during Sunday night's broadcast
- 'Can daddy get his juice responsibly?' the news anchor joked moments before taking a shot
- The hosts were ordered to steer clear of alcohol last year under the direction of former CNN CEO Chris Licht
Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen knocked back shots during CNN's live New Year's Eve Show, just a year after the network banned on-air drinking during the festivities.
'Speaking of traditions, it’s the top of the hour,' Cohen said Sunday night as he and Cooper appeared at the annual live show in Times Square.
'We’ve been here for seven years doing this, and for most of those years - well, at the top of the hour we typically have a toast.'
The TV presenter continued: 'I guess I’m just wondering, does daddy get his juice?'
'Can daddy get his juice responsibly?' Cooper quipped back.
As per a new policy in fall 2022, the hosts were ordered to steer clear of booze during the holiday broadcast.
Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper took shots during CNN's New Year's Eve broadcast on Sunday
'I guess I’m just wondering, does daddy get his juice?' Cohen joked before Cooper procured a bottle of tequila
The hosts were ordered to steer clear of alcohol in fall 2022, after former network CEO Chris Licht slammed the tradition as unprofessional
When Cooper said he had no alcohol, Cohen procured a bottle of tequila from his bag.
'Anderson, this is why I’m a really good partner to you. I got it! We’re doing this!' Cohen said.
After inviting the viewers to join their toast, Cohen and Cooper each downed a shot.
The controversy emerged during 2022's New Year's show, where Cohen and Cooper hosted from NYC while former CNN anchor Don Lemon reported from New Orleans.
Lemon, clutching a drink, proclaimed that haters could 'kiss my behind,' and Cohen launched into an alcohol-fueled rant against Bill de Blasio.
The network made the decision to ban on-air drinking that fall, under the direction of then-CEO Chris Licht.
In a November meeting, Licht proclaimed: 'I’m not looking for a bunch of my respectful talent to be out there all night doing shots,' according to a recording obtained by The Washington Post.
'That will be different,' he continued. 'I don’t think that builds credibility.'
A spokesperson later acknowledged that Cohen's alcohol-fueled tirade against de Blasio was inappropriate, saying: 'Andy said something he shouldn’t have on live TV.'
During 2022's New Year's Eve show, Lemon drunkenly ranted to his 'haters,' telling them to 'kiss my behind'
The same night, Cohen launched into a booze-fueled tirade against former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio
This year, Lemon grinned in a photo with fiancé Tim Malone as the duo sat on board a boat in Miami
'My favorite night of the year...almost time,' Lemon captioned a photo of his outfit
After the CEO's statements leaked, Lemon appeared on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' to down a tequila shot with the host.
'I don’t know what the hell I’m going to do this year,' Lemon told Colbert. 'You’re going to get me in trouble.'
The former host of 'CNN This Morning' parted ways with the network in April after drawing criticism over comments that presidential hopeful Nikki Haley was not 'in her prime.'
This New Year's Eve, the broadcast journalist appeared in photos with fiancé Tim Malone aboard a yacht in Miami.
Lemon also posted a photo of his outfit for the night, consisting of a sequined blue jacket and gray slacks, with the caption: 'My favorite night of the year...almost time.'
It is unclear if new CEO Mark Thompson has reversed the alcohol ban, but Cohen beseeched him to allow on-air drinking last month.
'I haven’t heard anything yet, but come on, they need to let us drink,' Cohen told E! News in November.
'It’s New Year’s Eve. That didn’t go well last year in terms of viewer happiness about us drinking. People really cared and I hope CNN gives the people what they want.'
Both Cohen and Cooper built up the suspense during an appearance on 'The Late Show,' with Cooper saying: 'I think you're going to have to tune in and see.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12915615/Anderson-Cooper-Andy-Cohen-shots-New-Years-Eve.html | 2024-01-01T03:25:42Z |

DALLAS, Texas — Trailblazing longtime U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, a nurse from Texas who helped bring hundreds of millions of federal dollars to the Dallas area as the region's most powerful Democrat, died Sunday. She was 88.
President Joe Biden, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and many other leaders issued statements about her death after her son posted about it on Facebook. The Dallas Morning News also confirmed her death with an unnamed source close to the family. No cause of death was given.
Biden hailed her "immense courage" and called her "an icon and mentor to generations of public servants, through whom her legacy of resilience and purpose will endure."
"She was the single most effective legislator Dallas has ever had," the mayor said in a statement. "Nobody brought more federal infrastructure money home to our city. Nobody fought harder for our communities and our residents' interests and safety. And nobody knew how to navigate Washington better for the people of Dallas."
Eddie Bernice Johnson served in the House for three decades after becoming the first registered nurse elected to Congress and first Black chief psychiatric nurse at Dallas' Veterans Affairs hospital. She went on to become the first Black woman to chair the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, and she also led the Congressional Black Caucus. She left office in January after repeatedly delaying her retirement. Before Congress, she served in the Texas legislature.
"For three decades, Chairwoman Johnson was a powerful force in the United States Congress, always focused on the future," House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi said in a statement, praising Johnson as "a tenacious trailblazer, a talented legislator and a devoted public servant."
Johnson used her committee leadership position to fight against Republican efforts to block action on climate change. Congressional Black Caucus Chair Steven Horsford said Johnson was also "a fierce advocate for expanding STEM opportunities to Black and minority students" who also played a key role in helping the Biden administration pass a major package of incentives for computer chip manufacturers.
She was born in Waco and grew up in the segregated South. Dallas' once-segregated Union Station was renamed in her honor in 2019.
Her own experience with racism helped spur her to get involved in politics. She recalled that officials at the VA hospital were shocked that she was Black after they hired her sight-unseen, so they rescinded their offer for her to live in a dorm on campus. She told The Dallas Morning News in 2020 that officials would go into patients' rooms ahead of her to "say that I was qualified."
"That was really the most blatant, overt racism that I ever experienced in my life," she told the newspaper.
Johnson nearly quit but decided to stick with it.
"It was very challenging," she said. "But any job where you're an African American woman entering for the first time would be a challenge. They had not hired one before I got there. Yes, it was a challenge, but it was a successful venture."
