Wuliang Harmony's Spectacular New Year's Eve Bash Lights Up Times Square
NEW YORK, Dec. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hundreds of millions of people in New York and across the globe welcomed the New Year with a Chinese cultural performance on December 31st as the New York Times Square countdown celebration highlighted Wuliang Harmony.
The opening ceremony featured a spectacular blend of modern and traditional Chinese art, including a lion and dragon ribbon dance, titled "Cheers to 2024 with Wuliang Harmony." This performance spotlighted the center stage, ushering in the Year of the Dragon.
During the opening ceremony, Wuliangye, one of the most renowned Baijiu brands, was featured as a special collaborator at the opening ceremony. Chen Chong, the special representative of Wuliangye Group, expressed his excitement, saying: "Wuliangye is thrilled to be part of this iconic event and to showcase the spirit of Chinese traditions through Chinese Baijiu."
He continued: "On behalf of Mr. Zeng Congqin, the Chairman of Wuliangye Group, we wish everyone a happy New Year filled with good health, happiness, and harmony! Wuliangye, from China to the world, to New York, and to 2024."
Multiple giant screens displayed a video about Wuliangye, highlighting its thousand years of history and its emphasis on harmony and health throughout the celebration. As the earliest spirit in the world produced with five grains, Wuliangye's multi-grain solid fermentation process has been passed down for a thousand years. Its time-honored fermentation pit cluster built in the year of 1368, is still in use for producing Baijiu uninterruptedly for 655 years. Wuliangye stands out as the first clear liquor crafted from five different types of grains and is considered a rare gift from nature.
This distinction makes Wuliangye the masterpiece of Baijiu. The increasing popularity of Wuliangye has sparked a global appreciation for Baijiu, with more people exploring this unique spirit and its cultural significance.
New York City Council Member Christopher Marte, in a greeting letter noted: "This Wuliang Harmony showcase will highlight the unique nature of traditional Chinese Baijiu to a global audience. Wuliangye is world-renowned, and has been an esteemed treasure of Chinese Baijiu for over a thousand years."
Drinking Baijiu is a Chinese tradition at the festive gatherings like champagne in the west. It's not just toasted at New Year but it's also an integral part of Chinese daily gatherings and is even used in Chinese cuisine.

Is There Now An Opportunity In Globetronics Technology Bhd. (KLSE:GTRONIC)?
Globetronics Technology Bhd. (KLSE:GTRONIC), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a decent share price growth of 16% on the KLSE over the last few months. While good news for shareholders, the company has traded much higher in the past year. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s take a look at Globetronics Technology Bhd’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.
See our latest analysis for Globetronics Technology Bhd
Is Globetronics Technology Bhd Still Cheap?
The share price seems sensible at the moment according to our price multiple model, where we compare the company's price-to-earnings ratio to the industry average. In this instance, we’ve used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. We find that Globetronics Technology Bhd’s ratio of 34.13x is trading in-line with its industry peers’ ratio, which means if you buy Globetronics Technology Bhd today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Globetronics Technology Bhd’s share price is quite volatile, we could potentially see it sink lower (or rise higher) in the future, giving us another chance to buy. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.
Can we expect growth from Globetronics Technology Bhd?
Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. Globetronics Technology Bhd's earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 43%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.
What This Means For You
Are you a shareholder? GTRONIC’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around industry price multiples. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at GTRONIC? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuate below the industry PE ratio?
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on GTRONIC, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around industry price multiples. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for GTRONIC, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
So if you'd like to dive deeper into this stock, it's crucial to consider any risks it's facing. For example - Globetronics Technology Bhd has 1 warning sign we think you should be aware of.

Something weird always happens. I say this on TV and they laugh at me, but the NFC East is the zaniest of NFL divisions. It has been 19 years since anyone repeated as its champion, and the events of Week 17 have created a situation that could very well extend that streak to 20.
It makes no sense that the Eagles wouldn't win the NFC East this season. At one point, they were 10-1, with a head-to-head victory over their closest pursuers, the Cowboys. As late as the fourth quarter of their game against the Cardinals on Sunday, they still had control of the situation. Hold that fourth-quarter lead against the then-3-12 Cardinals, then win next week against the 5-11 Giants, and you break the streak to repeat as division champs. This was not a difficult-looking assignment.
But they did not hold the lead. Kyler Murray, James Conner and the Cardinals went right down the field on them in the final minutes to score the winning touchdown. And now all the Cowboys have to do to win the NFC East is beat the 4-12 Commanders next week. It makes no sense, especially when you consider everything that had to happen at the end of Saturday night's Lions-Cowboys game to bring about this situation. But it's the NFC East. It isn't supposed to make sense. It's just supposed to do the opposite of what you expect. That's what makes it so much fun.
Let's start there for this week's overreactions column -- where we judge potential takeaways from Week 17 games -- since there's a lot to unpack.

Challenges, responses and beyond
The present government started its journey at a time when the global economic environment was conducive to growth and low inflation. Food prices had stabilised after the global food crisis of 2007-08. Interest rates were lowered globally in response to the global economic crisis of 2008.
Bangladesh economy benefited from that environment and attained a gradual acceleration in growth associated with improvements in social indicators like poverty reduction, enrolment in primary education, and decline in child mortality. The conducive external environment made it easy to attain economic growth with poverty reduction despite several shortcomings in policy.
Mega infrastructure projects were undertaken, based on the premise that they would encourage investment and thus ignite further economic growth. Several such projects, notably Padma bridge, metro rail and part of an elevated expressway in Dhaka, and the Karnaphuli tunnel have been completed and are making an immediate impact in terms of easing travel and transport of goods.
Of course, there were questions of high costs and cost over-runs due to delay in their implementation, Furthermore, their expected benefits in terms of contribution to GDP growth are yet to be seen.
Single-minded pursuit of economic growth looked like growth fetishism. And issues like rising inequality, poor employment performance, continued dependence on employment in the informal economy and shortfall from decent work, low quality of education, vulnerability of the economy in the face of shocks (e.g., pandemic, war, global economic recession), etc. have been ignored.
The commitment for employment guarantee made in the 2008 election manifesto was forgotten quickly. A large segment of the population who were vulnerable fell into poverty during the coronavirus pandemic.
The programme adopted by the government in response to the crisis had several weaknesses in helping the poor people and smaller enterprises. Furthermore, the experience has not been utilised to formulate strategies for increasing the resilience of the low-income people to such shocks.
Several wrong policies were adopted and pursued despite their obvious shortcomings.
They include: (i) keeping the exchange rate fixed when economic fundamentals warranted adjustments, (ii) putting caps on interest rates on deposits and lending, thereby providing wrong signals to economic actors, (iii) raising administered prices (e.g., of petroleum products and electricity) at a time when the monster of inflation was already raising its head, (iv) not making proper assessment of supply of and demand for key commodities and arranging their timely imports, and (v) not making appropriate use of tariff policy to counter the price effects of currency depreciation and to provide competition to domestic producers.
Economic challenges in 2023 and initiatives taken by the authorities
The policies mentioned above eventually became self-defeating as was apparent when the economy started to face multiple challenges on the macroeconomic front. Private investment remained sluggish, and the competitiveness of exports started to erode.
The overvalued currency discouraged remittance flow through formal channels and encouraged capital flight from the country. The result was a sharp deterioration in the external account of the country.
What happened after that is well-known to informed readers. Multiple challenges include sharp erosion of the foreign exchange reserve, stagnation in remittance flows, rising inflation, return of power shortage – to name a few.
While the initial response of the government (e.g., controlling imports) was halting and half-hearted at best, the quick-fix of a loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was adopted to salvage the situation.
The loan came with a plethora of conditions that included measures like withdrawing limits on interest rates, and making the exchange rate flexible – precisely the measures that were being recommended by independent specialists and the government was refusing to adopt.
However, up to now, only half-hearted measures have been adopted to meet the conditions. For example, the caps on deposit and lending rates have been withdrawn, but the exchange rate has not been unified. The gaps between the official exchange rate, the market rate and the rate at which remittances are converted have grown wider – thus encouraging the use of unofficial channels for remittances.
How do you look at 2024?
The new year would provide the policymakers an opportunity to make a new beginning. But that opportunity will have to be used quickly and effectively if further deterioration of the economic condition is to be avoided. The first task would be to fix the macroeconomic imbalances that have been acting as a brake on the economy for more than a year now.
The exchange rate will need to be fixed correctly without any further delay. The IMF is now suggesting the use of "crawling peg" method. However, in applying the method, it needs to be ensured that an environment of "depreciation expectation" is not created, because that will hold back the return of export earnings and a smooth flow of remittances through formal channels.
To fight inflation, action will be needed on multiple fronts.
If interest rate is raised, its impact is likely to come with a time lag. During the interim period, supply side interventions will be needed, especially for items that are sensitive to price fluctuations.
Advance estimation of import requirements, and better planning and implementation of imports are essential. Measures should be undertaken to protect the poor from the adverse effects of inflation, e.g., by bringing more people and more items in the government's open market sales programme and augmenting their supplies.
Stabilisation measures like raising interest rate and correcting the exchange rate are likely to be associated with growth moderation. When economic growth falters, the employment and labour market situation is likely to become more precarious.
With wage growth already behind inflation rate for quite some time and the ominous prospect of inflation remaining high for a prolonged period, the plight of the poor and low-income people is almost certain to worsen. Concrete measures are needed to provide them protection. A policy of adjustment with the human face should be pursued.

Ayka drama premiered in Astana
Director Sergey Dvortsevoy and leading actress of the film Samal Yeslyamova came to the capital of Kazakhstan for the premiere.
Making a speech, Sergey Dvortsevoy thanked the Ministry of Culture and Sport of the Republic of Kazakhstan, mentioning that with its support the motion picture was shortlisted for Oscar.
"For the first time in the history of post-Soviet cinematography, Kazakhstan's actress Samal Yeslyamova was granted the best actress title at the prestigious film festival. Many people think that ‘Ayka' is an arduous picture. However, it is a very profound film, which has both humor and drama," said the filmmaker.
In May 2018, Samal Yeslyamova won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress. On January 18, the film was shortlisted for the 91st Oscars in the Foreign Language Film category. However, she was not included in the list of the five finalists.
It is to be recalled that the film will hit Kazakhstan's movie theaters on February 14.
The plot of the film is the story of a young immigrant from Kyrgyzstan who illegally works in Moscow. It tells about her personal growth and drastic life changes. | https://en.inform.kz/news/ayka-drama-premiered-in-astana_a3497698/ | 2024-01-01T03:34:02Z |
A Colorado woman accused of killing two of her children and injuring a third was arrested in the United Kingdom on Saturday, authorities said.
According to the Colorado Springs Police Department, Kimberlee Singler, 35, of Colorado Springs, was arrested in the United Kingdom “without incident,” The Denver Post reported. No other details about the arrest were immediately available and the exact location where Singler was arrested was unclear, according to KUSA-TV.
Authorities issued an arrest warrant for Singler on murder and attempted murder charges after her 7-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter were found dead in a home on Dec. 19, while her 11-year-old daughter was hospitalized.
According to KUSA, the children’s father, Kevin Wentz, identified the deceased children as Aden Wentz, 7; and Elianna “Ellie” Wentz, 9.

Police had responded to a report of a burglary at the residence, but it turned out to be unfounded, according to The Associated Press.
Singler initially cooperated with authorities but then went missing as the investigation progressed, Colorado Springs Police Department spokesperson Ira Cronin said. She was last seen on Dec. 23, police said.
On Dec. 26, police issued a warrant for Singler’s arrest on four counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of child abuse and one count of first-degree assault, KUSA reported.
The 11-year-old girl was hospitalized for a few days before being released, Cronin said. She is recovering in Colorado Springs, according to the AP.
The children’s deaths came during a legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, the AP reported, citing court filings. Hearings had been scheduled for next month.
“Detectives with the Colorado Springs Police Department’s homicide unit continue to work closely with multiple law enforcement agencies in pursuing the ongoing investigation,” the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a statement. | https://www.kkyx.com/news/trending/colorado-mother-accused-killing-2-children-arrested-united-kingdom/UGMHCLKIBFFZZPDFXSLCJAH22E/ | 2024-01-01T03:34:03Z |
LOS ANGELES - Fantasy musical "Wonka" bounced back to the top of the North American box office this New Year's weekend as an otherwise pallid film year came to an end, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday.
The Warner Bros. film took in an estimated $24 million for the three-day weekend in the US and Canada, and $31.8 million when New Year's Day is included. It has passed the $140 million mark domestically and taken in $244 million globally.
That strong showing came at the end of an off year for Hollywood, with numbers roughly 20 percent below the three-year pre-pandemic average, said analyst David A. Gross. Audience tastes are starting to change, he said, from universe-saving action films to stories closer to home.
Close to home -- at least if you live near a chocolate factory -- was family-friendly "Wonka," with Timothee Chalamet as a younger version of Roald Dahl's famous chocolatier. Hugh Grant has an unforgettable turn as a grouchy, green-haired, gnome-like Oompa Loompa.
Last weekend's leader, Warner Bros.' "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," took on a bit of water, slipping to second at $19.5 million for three days ($26.3 million for four). Jason Momoa again plays the sea-dwelling superhero, this time joining with his half-brother and former foe to fight turmoil and climate change.
In third was Illumination and Universal's animated comedy "Migration" about the adventures of a family of mallard ducks as they fly from New England to Jamaica. It earned $17.2 million for three days ($23 million for four).
Completing a strong weekend for Warner Bros. was the new musical version of "The Color Purple," in fourth spot at $13 million ($17.7 million). Based on the Alice Walker novel that became a beloved movie, "Purple" follows the struggles and triumphs of Celie, a young Black woman in rural Georgia in the early 20th century.
One-time "American Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino-Taylor plays Celie -- a role played by Whoopi Goldberg in the 1985 film -- with backing from Danielle Brooks, H.E.R. and Colman Domingo.
And in fifth was Sony rom-com "Anyone But You," at $9 million ($11.5 million). Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell star in the tale, oh-so-loosely based on Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," that takes the two from instant connection to crossed signals to the scheming of friends to a lot of splashing in Sydney Harbour before ultimately ... but nay, the rest is silence.
Rounding out the top 10 were:
"Boys in the Boat" ($8.3 million for three days; $11 million for four)
"The Iron Claw" ($5 million; $6.9 million)
"Ferrari" ($4.1 million; $5.2 million)
"Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes" ($2.9 million; $4 million)
"The Boy and the Heron" ($2.5 million; $3.4 million) | https://www.bangkokpost.com/life/arts-and-entertainment/2716146/wonka-back-atop-n-america-box-office-in-a-weak-film-year | 2024-01-01T03:34:04Z |
North Korea’s Kim orders military to ‘thoroughly annihilate’ US, South Korea if provoked
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 defense 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.
In his New Year’s Day address Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he will strengthen his military’s preemptive strike, missile defense and retaliatory capabilities in response to the North Korean nuclear threat.
“The Republic of Korea is building genuine, lasting peace through strength, not a submissive peace that is dependent on the goodwill of the adversary,” Yoon said, using South Korea’s official name.
At the party meeting, Kim called South Korea “a hemiplegic malformation and colonial subordinate state” whose society is “tainted by Yankee culture.” He said his military must use all available means including nuclear weapons to “suppress the whole territory of South Korea” in the event of a conflict.
South Korea’s Defense Ministry warned in response that if North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, South Korean and U.S. forces will punish it overwhelmingly, resulting in the end of the Kim government.
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.
Kim has since sought to modernize his weapons arsenal and strengthen North Korea’s relationships with China and Russia. KCNA said Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged New Year’s Day messages on Monday on bolstering bilateral ties.
North Korea faces suspicions that it has supplied conventional arms for Russia’s war in Ukraine in return for sophisticated Russian technologies to enhance the North’s military programs.
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.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon weekly newspaper has had to lay off its entire staff and halt print after 40 years because its funds were embezzled by a former employee, its editor said, in a devastating blow to a publication that serves as an important source of information in a community that, like many others nationwide, is struggling with growing gaps in local news coverage.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) -One of the senior figures in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing coalition called on Sunday for Palestinian residents of Gaza to leave the besieged enclave, making way for Israelis who could "make the desert bloom". The comments by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who has been excluded from the war cabinet and discussions of day-after arrangements in Gaza, appear to underscore fears in much of the Arab world that Israel wants to drive Palestinians out of land where they want to build a future state, repeating the mass dispossession of Palestinians when Israel was created in 1948.

NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINNING, NEW CHALLENGES WITH NEW OPPORTUNITIES
Amidst global turbulence and the emergence of a new normal marked by conflicts and pandemics, adaptation becomes the key to thriving. The challenges of the digital age require a modern astrologer to connect with the current generation, acting as a friend and guide in navigating new-age dilemmas.
Astrologically, the year unfolds with Saturn in Aquarius, fostering a philosophical and comfortable atmosphere. Jupiter's transition to Taurus in May propels enthusiasm and optimism, directing focus towards family relationships and wealth. Rahu in Pisces offers emotional impacts akin to Saturn in Aquarius for Pisces moon signs, at the same time creating opportunities for business ventures in foreign lands.
Saturn's philosophical influence encourages individuals to work toward larger goals, fostering a sense of purpose. This year holds exciting possibilities for those who embrace reality, recognize their strengths, and address weaknesses. The key to success lies in understanding and leveraging personal strengths, adapting them advantageously to realize dreams, achieve success, and attain genuine happiness.
Aries: Optimism brings great energy and should be put to the best use in 2024
The positive shift brought about by Rahu moving away from your home sets the stage for a period of increased energy, ambition, and determination to achieve your goals. This development is seen as highly beneficial. Jupiter's presence in Aries until May is particularly noteworthy, as it ensures that any new endeavors you undertake receive a powerful and supportive boost. It is advised to direct your focus towards endeavors that contribute to the greater good, given your capacity to instigate positive changes.
In May, Jupiter's transition to Taurus introduces a more family-oriented influence. The shift towards Venusian energy emphasizes areas such as inheritance and family relationships. This phase is deemed opportune for resolving any lingering family matters or disputes. It encourages a harmonious approach to familial ties and presents a favorable time for strengthening bonds with your relatives.
With Rahu positioned in the 12th house, the astrological indication is that this is an advantageous period for business expansion, especially ventures located away from your place of origin. For those navigating the realm of love, a key emphasis is placed on attending to your spouse's health and overall well-being. Simultaneously, building understanding and trust with your partner is highlighted as crucial for laying the foundation of a promising future together.
Given the potential for heightened stress, anxiety, and burnout during the year, prioritizing your health becomes imperative. Engaging in activities such as Yoga or aerobics is recommended to maintain physical fitness. Incorporating meditation into your routine is suggested as a means of gaining control over your mind and body, fostering a sense of calmness and balance throughout the year.
Taurus: Focus on growth and seize opportunities. You have the bull's run
As we step into the new year, there's a unique and interesting start marked by the presence of Jupiter in the 12th house from Taurus. This celestial alignment is expected to bring about significant changes during the initial months of 2024. The cosmic forecast indicates opportunities for travel abroad, be it for business ventures or employment opportunities, with this trend likely continuing until May 2024.
Rahu's positioning in the 11th house from Taurus adds an extra layer of positivity to the outlook. It suggests that the hard work you put in will not go unnoticed, and the unexpected gains accrued during this period will have a lasting impact.
The turning point seems to come in May when Jupiter transitions to Taurus. This celestial move is predicted to culminate in the consolidation of your efforts, resulting in substantial rewards and gains. Simultaneously, Saturn's favorable placement in the 11th house from Taurus is anticipated to influence both career and wealth prospects.
In essence, the upcoming year holds great promise, provided one seizes the various opportunities presented. While career advancement takes precedence, it is crucial to strike a balance by allocating sufficient time for family. This year, characterized by abundant opportunities, calls for a thoughtful approach that ensures success in both financial matters and family relationships.
Gemini: Time for introspection & working on potential
In the coming year, things are looking up thanks to the positions of Jupiter and Saturn in the sky. Jupiter's presence in the 11th house means good news for your finances until May. After that, it moves to the 12th house, opening up chances for work or business opportunities abroad.
Saturn is also doing its part by bringing luck and making you think about bigger goals and doing good things. If you're married, your relationship should be good, and if you're not married yet, the stars suggest good luck in finding the right person.
You're someone who likes to try new things, and that's in line with what your zodiac sign says about you. But Saturn is also telling you to focus on some important areas to find success in your work.
The stars are also advising you to listen to and learn from older people, especially your dad. They might have some good advice for you. It's important to understand what they're saying and be open to helpful criticism.
Your partner is going to be a positive force for you, and together you'll explore the meaning of life and marriage. If you're looking to get married, the stars say you might find your perfect match. If you're already in a relationship, it could be a good time to take things to the next level and settle down together. Overall, it looks like the year ahead has some good things in store for you.
Cancer: Success will come with hard work & patience
As the year commences, the positioning of Jupiter in the 10th house signals a significant spotlight on your career or business ventures. This celestial alignment suggests that the onset of the new year carries with it a plethora of promising possibilities, particularly within the domains of real estate, car sales, and agriculture. Individuals involved in these fields can anticipate a period of growth and potential success.
As the calendar progresses to May, a notable shift occurs with Jupiter's transit into Taurus. This planetary movement is foreseen to bring about substantial gains, especially benefiting those engaged in real estate, consultants, pharmaceuticals, or water-related businesses.

Despite these favorable celestial configurations, the influence of Saturn remains a stabilizing force throughout the year. This planetary presence underscores the importance of remaining grounded and diligent in your pursuits. It emphasizes that achievements will be directly correlated with hard work, persistent efforts, and a comprehensive approach to addressing all aspects of your professional endeavors. Success, according to this astrological perspective, hinges on meticulous attention to detail and maintaining unwavering focus.

In the second half of the year, especially after May, your career and personal life will be in the spotlight. It's a cool time where you'll be focused on both your job and finding love.
If you work in earth science, arts, banking, or finance, things are looking good for you. Just be smart with your money and invest in safest stocks, not risky ones.

Deal with them calmly and wait for the right time to take control and win.
After May, if you're single, it's a good time to settle down. Create a routine with your family and learn more about family life. For students, Jupiter's move to the 9th house means it's a good time to focus on higher education.
Take time to think about your life and learn from older people, including your parents. They can give you valuable advice and help you grow.

JACKSON, Miss. — (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that he will allow Mississippi officials to move forward with creating a state-run court in part of the majority-Black capital city of Jackson, over objections from the NAACP.
Attorneys for the civil rights organization had sued on behalf of several Jackson residents, saying the new court undermines democracy because local voters or local elected officials won't choose its judge or prosecutors.
The new Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have a judge appointed by the state Supreme Court chief justice and prosecutors appointed by the state attorney general — officials who are white and conservative.
In a ruling filed late Sunday, U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate dismissed requests to block the new court, which was created by the majority-white and Republican-controlled Mississippi Legislature. Jackson is governed by Democrats.
“None of the Plaintiffs has alleged that he or she is in actual or imminent danger of experiencing any concrete and particularized injury resulting from the establishment of the CCID Court or the challenged appointment of a judge or prosecutors for that court,” Wingate wrote.
Under a law signed by Republican Gov. Tate Reeves during the spring, the new court will come into existence Jan. 1 and will have jurisdiction in a part of Jackson that includes state government buildings and some residential and shopping areas.
Reeves and legislators who support the new court say it is part of an effort to control crime in Jackson — a city that has had more than 100 homicides for each of the past three years, in a population of about 150,000.
The Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have the same power as municipal courts, which handle misdemeanor cases, traffic violations and initial appearances for some criminal charges. People convicted in most municipal courts face time in a local jail. Those convicted in the new court will be held in a state prison, near people convicted of more serious felony crimes.
Most municipal judges are appointed by city officials. Jackson has a Black mayor and majority-Black city council. The judge of the new court is not required to live in Jackson.
Legal arguments in the case touched on racial discrimination, public safety and democracy.
The state law creating the new court also expands the patrol territory for Capitol Police. The state-run police department previously patrolled near state government buildings in downtown Jackson, but the new law added other parts of the city, including more affluent residential and shopping areas.
In September, the Mississippi Supreme Court struck down the part of the same law that would have required the state chief justice to appoint four circuit judges to serve alongside the four elected circuit judges in Hinds County. The county includes Jackson and is also majority-Black and governed by Democrats.
Justices wrote that longstanding Mississippi law allows the chief justice to appoint some judges for specific reasons, such as to deal with a backlog of cases. But they wrote that “we see nothing special or unique” about the four appointed Hinds County circuit judges in the 2023 law, “certainly nothing expressly tethering them to a specific judicial need or exigency.”

No New Year's Party: Detroit Red Wings frustrated over ‘missed assignments' on the defensive front in their loss to the Boston Bruins.
The frustrating trend continues for the Detroit Red Wings, extending their streak to 16 games without a win when scoring less than four goals. Despite battling back to tie the game in the 2nd period against the Boston Bruins, defensive errors haunted them in the 3rd period. The Bruins secured a 5-3 victory, concluding a challenging December for the Red Wings.
The Red Wings once again lost when being held to three or fewer goals
The Boston Bruins gained a 2-0 lead against the Red Wings, courtesy of two goals by Bruins forward Trent Frederic, occurring late in the 1st period and early in the 2nd. An alarming moment ensued during Frederic's first goal as he made contact with goaltender Alex Lyon after scoring with a backhand shot. Lyon remained on the ice in visible discomfort for over a minute, receiving attention from team trainers, while backup James Reimer readied himself to enter the game. Lyon, however, deemed himself fit to continue.
Defenseman Jake Walman maintained his impressive form, netting his third goal in two consecutive games to narrow Detroit's deficit. Soon after, Detroit's blue line struck again as Ben Chiarot found the net, leveling the score at 2-2.
However, a lost faceoff in their defensive zone during the 3rd period set the stage for Charlie Coyle‘s one-timer past Lyon. The Bruins extended their lead with a late 3rd-period empty-net goal. Despite a subsequent power-play goal from J.T. Compher that sparked hope for a New Year's Eve comeback, Boston sealed the game with another open-net goal, securing a 5-3 win.
Ben Chiarot talks missed defensive assignments
Chiarot addressed the team's defensive status, acknowledging the necessity for improvement due to costly missed defensive assignments.
“It was better tonight, still a couple of missed assignments that cost us, but better for sure,” he said. “Not as frequent in the breakdowns, but still could be better.”
Scoring a pair of second-period goals, particularly from defensemen, is always a bonus for Detroit.
“It's great, any time you can get offense from the back end, it's going to help you win a game. But it wasn't enough tonight, obviously. As defensemen, we're always looking to jump in and contribute.”
He then stated that he doesn't feel that Detroit is “shooting themselves in the foot” but rather needs to pay better attention to detail, especially against a dangerous opponent like the Boston Bruins.
“I don't know if we're shooting ourselves in the foot, but it's just a little bit of attention to details, knowing that you have your guy in our zone or five guys in front of you if you're a defenseman, or whatever the case is,” he said. “Just knowing you're in a sound defensive position, especially against a team like Boston, they can make you pay so fast. Just a little more attention to detail I think would be helpful in being a stronger defensive team.”
“Those are things we’re working on here and it takes time to know and be comfortable in how to play those games,” he concluded. “That’s something we’re figuring out still.”
TL;DR (too long didn't read)
- The Detroit Red Wings fell tonight on New Year's Eve against the Boston Bruins by a 5-3 final score.
- The frustrating trend of Detroit being unable to secure victory when held to less than four goals continued into a 16th straight game.
- The missed defensive assignments left the Detroit Red Wings frustrated, and they must pay better attention in their defensive zone; especially against a tough opponent like Boston.
Bottom Line: California-bound
Heading west for a California road trip against the Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings, and San Jose Sharks, the Red Wings are gearing up for crucial matchups.
To reignite their playoff aspirations, they'll need to shake off December's challenges and kick off the new year with a fresh start. It's a pivotal moment if they aim to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. | https://detroitsportsnation.com/detroit-red-wings-frustrated-over-missed-assignments-during-nye-loss-to-boston-bruins/paultyler/red-wings/detroit-red-wings-news/12/31/2023/440208/ | 2024-01-01T03:34:05Z |
CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bears closed out the last day of 2023 with plenty to celebrate.
The Bears beat the Atlanta Falcons 37-17 during their final game of the year at Soldier Field, which marked their seventh win of the season and fifth straight at home. After starting the season 2-7, Chicago has won four of its past five games.
Though the victory Sunday was the catalyst of a celebratory postgame locker room where cigars purchased by wide receiver DJ Moore were handed out and enjoyed, it's not the only thing the Bears have to be excited about entering the new year.
The Panthers' 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Arizona Cardinals' win over the Philadelphia Eagles ensures Carolina (2-14) will finish the season with the worst record in the NFL, meaning the Bears are officially locked into possession of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft.
The Bears will head into the offseason with the No. 1 selection for a second straight year. Chicago earned the top pick on the last day of the 2022 season and traded it to Carolina on March 10 in exchange for the ninth and 61st overall selections in the 2023 draft, Carolina's 2024 first-round pick, a 2025 second-rounder and Moore.
Carolina used its No. 1 pick to draft quarterback Bryce Young, who has struggled throughout his rookie season. The trade netted Chicago a career year from Moore (92 catches, 1,300 yards, 8 TDs) and two rookie starters in right tackle Darnell Wright and cornerback Tyrique Stevenson.
"To come here, I feel like the No. 1 overall pick," said Moore, who was drafted 24th overall by Carolina in 2018.
The wide receiver totaled nine catches for 159 yards and a touchdown against the Falcons. He became the fifth Bears player in franchise history to reach 1,300 yards in a season and the first to reach that mark since Alshon Jeffery in 2013 (1,421).
"Five years in Carolina and then to come here Year 1 and surpass that is amazing," Moore said of his new career-best marks.
The Panthers lost their first six games of the season and fired first-year coach Frank Reich after a 1-10 start. Carolina entered Sunday having scored in 342 straight regular-season games since Week 13 in 2012, the second-longest active streak in the NFL, behind only the Baltimore Ravens, who are now up to 352.
The Bears earned possession of the No. 1 pick with roughly six minutes remaining in their game against Atlanta. Chicago is currently slated to draft with the first and 10th picks.
"I really don't give attention to it right now," coach Matt Eberflus said. "I don't think we're picking tomorrow, you know what I mean? So the focus ... for you to do your job the right way is you got to be here right now, get your eyes forward for the next thing."
Eberflus' tone was similar when asked about a report from NFL Network that he will be back with the Bears in 2024.
"Like I said many times, my eyes are forward on the corrections of this game," Eberflus said. "I really don't pay attention to that, and I'm a football coach, right? So I know there's always going to be noise out there, good or bad, and if you listen to either one of them, guess what -- you ain't doing your job.
"And for me, doing my job is focusing on the men in that locker room and the coaches and the development of the Chicago Bears, and that's what I'm going to do."
Chicago's path in the 2024 draft centers around the quarterback position. Since his return from a thumb injury in Week 11, Justin Fields' play has improved in a handful of categories and gives the Bears several scenarios to weigh about whether they'll trade the top pick to garner more draft capital and build around Fields, or use the No. 1 pick to draft a rookie quarterback.
Either way, having the No. 1 overall pick feels different in Chicago this year, given it did not come via the Bears' own record.
"Obviously in this case, it is good for us, but we're not celebrating that," safety Jaquan Brisker said. "We're celebrating a victory at home, five, six straight in a row. That's huge for us and having momentum is huge." | https://africa.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39219696/bears-celebrate-win-top-pick-2024-nfl-draft-panthers-loss | 2024-01-01T03:34:06Z |
North Korea’s Kim orders military to ‘thoroughly annihilate’ US, South Korea if provoked
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 defense 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.
In his New Year’s Day address Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he will strengthen his military’s preemptive strike, missile defense and retaliatory capabilities in response to the North Korean nuclear threat.
“The Republic of Korea is building genuine, lasting peace through strength, not a submissive peace that is dependent on the goodwill of the adversary,” Yoon said, using South Korea’s official name.
At the party meeting, Kim called South Korea “a hemiplegic malformation and colonial subordinate state” whose society is “tainted by Yankee culture.” He said his military must use all available means including nuclear weapons to “suppress the whole territory of South Korea” in the event of a conflict.
South Korea’s Defense Ministry warned in response that if North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, South Korean and U.S. forces will punish it overwhelmingly, resulting in the end of the Kim government.
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.
Kim has since sought to modernize his weapons arsenal and strengthen North Korea’s relationships with China and Russia. KCNA said Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged New Year’s Day messages on Monday on bolstering bilateral ties.
North Korea faces suspicions that it has supplied conventional arms for Russia’s war in Ukraine in return for sophisticated Russian technologies to enhance the North’s military programs.
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.

The Atlanta Falcons had no answers for the Chicago Bears after losing 37-17. However, late in the contest, Taylor Heinicke was subbed out for Desmond Ridder and nobody was entirely sure why. Now, we finally have the answer.
During the postgame presser, head coach Arthur Smith revealed that Heinicke aggravated an ankle injury, according to Falcons' team reporter Tori McElhaney. So, Ridder filled in for an injured Heinicke.
“Arthur Smith said Desmond Ridder came in for Taylor Heinicke in the 4Q because of an aggravated ankle. Heinicke was limited this week with that ankle injury.”
It's nice to know that it wasn't a straight-up benching. But hopefully, Taylor Heinicke is okay. But if he re-aggravated an ankle injury he's been dealing with, then there's a chance he won't be able to play for the Falcons in Week 18. If that's the case, Desmond Ridder would start the final game of the regular season.
Before being taken out of the game, Heinicke struggled quite a bit against the Bears. He finished the day with 163 passing yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions. Ridder didn't do much better, as he threw an interception as well after throwing the ball just four times.
With that said, it's safe to say the coaching staff will monitor Taylor Heinicke throughout the next several days. Depending on the status of his ankle injury, we could see Desmond Ridder under center in Week 18. But only time will tell what the Falcons decide to do at quarterback. But Sunday's loss may have just kicked this team out of the playoff race. | https://clutchpoints.com/why-falcons-desmond-ridder-replaced-taylor-heinicke-late-vs-bears | 2024-01-01T03:34:05Z |
BB gives 7 banks Tk 22,000cr in emergency funds
The central bank has extended a total of Tk 22,000 crore in emergency funds to seven beleaguered banks including five Islamic banks to dress up their balance sheet ahead of the year's end.
On December 28, Islami Bank Bangladesh, Social Islami Bank, First Security Islami Bank, Global Islami Bank, Union Bank, Padma Bank and National Bank took the fund for three days at 9.7 percent interest, The Daily Star has learnt from Bangladesh Bank officials informed with the proceedings.
The funds were taken against 'demand promissory note' as the banks have no securities to offer as collateral.
A demand promissory note is a legally binding document between a borrower and a lender. With this agreement, the borrower promises to repay the money whenever the lender demands it.
The BB accepts a demand promissory note when a bank does not have available bills and bonds to provide as collateral.
"Providing loans against demand promissory note is a normal practice," said BB spokesman Md Mezbaul Haque.
Banks can borrow from the central bank against the promissory note for 180 days at most, he added.
However, the BB officials said the extraordinary facility was extended to help the banks meet the shortfall in their mandatory cash and liquidity holdings and show a tidy balance sheet for the year
If the banks show a shortfall in their regulatory cash and liquidity holdings in their balance sheets at the year-end, the depositors' confidence in them will take a big hit, the officials said.
Padma Bank, formerly known as Farmers Bank, took the emergency loans from the central bank on Thursday to meet the shortfall in regulatory cash holdings, said its managing director Tarek Reaz Khan.
The bank has taken the fund for three days, he added.
The emergency liquidity support provided to the Shariah-based banks -- where Chattogram-based conglomerate S Alam Group holds significant stakes -- is not for meeting their current account deficits with the central bank, according to the BB officials.
The current accounts of Islami Bank, Social Islami Bank, First Security Islami Bank, Union Bank and Global Islami Bank have been in deficit for a long time, according to a BB letter sent to the lenders' managing directors on November 28.
The banks were given 20 working days to clear their deficits.
Now, only First Security Islami Bank is in the deficit and the central bank has given the bank three months to settle the negative balance, the BB officials said.
Zafar Alam, managing director of Social Islami Bank, declined to comment about the central bank's extraordinary lending support but said the bank's current account with the BB is no longer in the deficit.
The banks' boards should be reformed before giving any liquidity support, said Ahsan H Mansur, executive director of the Policy Research Institute of Bangladesh.
On December 21, BB reconstituted the board of the National Bank.
"Those banks are in need of that extraordinary liquidity support now because of the lack of accountability. If the banking regulator wants to rescue the banks, it has to protect the depositors' interests first. The Bangladesh Bank cannot give away people's money like this," said Mansur, also a former chairman of BRAC Bank. | https://www.thedailystar.net/business/economy/banks/news/bb-gives-7-banks-tk-22000cr-emergency-funds-3507626 | 2024-01-01T03:34:08Z |

An officer tried to stop a Dodge Charger on I-35E when he noticed the vehicle weaving back and forth. Instead of stopping, the driver accelerated to over 100 mph, police say.

NAIROBI - Ugandan athlete Benjamin Kiplagat has been found dead in Kenya, police said Sunday, with local media reporting he had been stabbed to death.
The Kenyan-born Kiplagat, 34, had represented Uganda internationally in the 3,000m steeplechase, including at several Olympic Games and World Championships.
His body was found in a car on Saturday night on the outskirts of the Rift Valley town of Eldoret, which is home to many athletes who train in the high-altitude area.
"An investigation has been launched and officers are on the ground pursuing leads," local police commander Stephen Okal told reporters in Eldoret.
He said Kiplagat's body had a deep knife wound to his neck, suggesting he was stabbed.
Uganda's Daily Monitor and other media outlets in Kenya said he had been stabbed to death.
"World Athletics is shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Benjamin Kiplagat," the global athletics governing body said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter.
"We send our deepest condolences to his friends, family, teammates and fellow athletes. Our thoughts are with them all at this difficult time."
Peter Ogwang. state minister for sports in Uganda, expressed similar sentiments on X.
"I send my deepest condolences to his family, Ugandans, and the entire East Africa for the loss of such a budding athlete who has on several occasions represented us on the international scene," he said.
Media reports said Kiplagat had been training in the Eldoret area before going to Uganda to take part in athletics competitions.
Kiplagat, whose running career spanned about 18 years, won the silver medal in the 3,000m steeplechase at the 2008 World Junior Championships and bronze at the Africa Championships in 2012.
He made the semi-finals of the event in the 2012 Olympics in London and also competed in Rio in 2016.
His death follows the killing in October 2021 of Kenyan distance running star Agnes Tirop who was found stabbed to death at the age of 25 in her home in Iten, a training hub near Eldoret.
Her husband Ibrahim Rotich went on trial for her murder last month. The 43-year-old has denied the charge against him and was freed on bail just before the trial opened.
Tirop was a double world 10,000m bronze medallist and 2015 world cross country champion who also finished fourth in the 5,000m at the Tokyo Olympics.
She also smashed the world women-only record in the 10km road race in Germany in the month before her killing.

Jaren Hall is out.
After digging a 23-3 halftime hole to the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings benched the rookie quarterback in favor of veteran Nick Mullens.
The decision arrives days after head coach Kevin O'Connell benched Mullens in favor of Hall for Sunday's game. With Minnesota's playoff hopes at stake, O'Connell made another switch with the hope that Mullens could spark a comeback. | https://www.actionnewsjax.com/news/national/vikings-bench-qb/RXQTYOM6SYDZ6SBMZQQI5AJB4I/ | 2024-01-01T03:34:11Z |

Nick Saban takes subtle shot at Michigan Football during final pre-Rose Bowl presser
The recent comments by Alabama‘s head coach Nick Saban, ahead of the much-anticipated Rose Bowl clash with Michigan, touch upon a sensitive and ongoing issue in collegiate sports: integrity. Saban's reference to ‘integrity' while discussing the sign-stealing saga involving former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions has stirred up more than just pre-game chatter. This subtle shot at Michigan not only heightens the rivalry but also brings to the forefront the ethical considerations that govern college football.
What did Nick Saban Say?
When asked about the sign-stealing saga at Michigan, Saban took a subtle shot at Harbaugh and the Wolverines.
“No, we're really not concerned about that,” said Saban. “Integrity in the game I think is really, really important, and our team has had every opportunity to prepare for this game just like they have every other game.”
“I think that especially when you're a no-huddle team you've got to adapt and adjust how you communicate with the quarterback,” continued Saban. “And hopefully one day we'll get to the NFL system where you can just talk to the guy in his helmet. I think that would be a lot better.”
“But for now, we just have to adapt to how we communicate with the quarterback, and we'll change it up and try to not put our players at a disadvantage in any way,” said Saban.
TL;DR (too long didn't read)
- Nick Saban, head coach of Alabama, subtly criticized Michigan's football program over a sign-stealing incident.
- Saban emphasized the importance of integrity in sports while discussing the controversy involving Michigan's former staffer.
- The issue highlights the need for fair play and ethical conduct in collegiate sports, especially as teams adapt to modern communication methods.
The Bottom Line – More Than Just a Game
As Michigan and Alabama gear up for their showdown, Saban's comments remind us that collegiate football is more than just a game; it's a stage where values such as integrity and fair play are tested. The sign-stealing saga, along with the responses from the likes of Saban, not only adds an extra layer of intrigue to the Rose Bowl but also serves as a catalyst for ongoing discussions about ethics in sports. In the end, while the players battle it out on the field, it's the values they embody and uphold that truly define the essence of collegiate athletics. | https://detroitsportsnation.com/nick-saban-takes-subtle-shot-at-michigan-football-during-final-pre-rose-bowl-presser/wgbrady/college-sports/u-of-m-news/12/31/2023/440229/ | 2024-01-01T03:34:11Z |
MINNEAPOLIS -- One play after Jayden Reed set the Green Bay Packers' record for receptions by a rookie with his 56th catch of the season, he snagged No. 57 for a 33-yard touchdown in Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Sterling Sharpe previously held the team record for receptions by a rookie with 55. Reed's 57th catch was also his team-leading ninth touchdown of the season. This after Reed missed last week's game because of toe injury.
The touchdown pass traveled 33 yards downfield, the second-most air yards on a passing touchdown in Jordan Love's young career, behind only his 35 air yards at Pittsburgh in Week 10, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
It was all set up by cornerback Corey Ballentine's first career interception, which came in his 49th career NFL game. Ballentine was starting because of the suspension to Jaire Alexander and the hamstring injury to Eric Stokes.

Love made it 17-3 late in the second quarter with a 2-yard diving scramble for his second rushing touchdown in as many weeks. Before that, he hadn't scored on the ground since Week 4 against the Lions.

Reed, with a 25-yard catch-and-run touchdown just before halftime, increased his season touchdown total to 10 (eight receiving, two rushing). That's the third most by a Packers rookie in franchise history behind Billy Howton (13, 1952) and Eddie Lacy (11, 2013).

Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma has some words of wisdom for Bilal Coulibaly amid the rookie's recent struggles.
On Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks, Coulibaly logged just 17 minutes and finished with only two points, four rebounds and three assists. Not only did he play the fewest minutes among the Wizards who suited up, but he also had the worst plus-minus rating in the game with -18.
Coulibaly's recent poor stretch is definitely a concerning trend, especially since he started December on a good note. In their first six games of the month, he actually averaged 13.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 steals on nearly 30 minutes per outing. It really looked like he's starting to find his rhythm, making him poised to get a starting nod sooner rather than later.
Nonetheless, his production quickly came crashing down after that, with his scoring dropping to just around six points. His defensive impact also suddenly disappeared.
Following their 130-126 loss to the Hawks, Kuzma talked about their rookie–who was drafted seventh overall in the recent 2023 NBA Draft–and highlighted his belief that the youngster needs to be more aggressive.
The Wizards forward also offered some advice for Coulibaly to get going, emphasizing the need for a change in mentality.
“As a rookie, you can get down on yourself real quick, but to have an aggressive mindset, you gotta have a ‘F**k it' mentality,” Kyle Kuzma said of Bilal Coulibaly, per Bijan Todd of Monumental Sports Network.
The Wizards knew when they drafted Coulibaly that he's a project that will take some time to develop, so they have the patience for that. With that said, the young French phenom and former Victor Wembanyama teammate has all the opportunity to grow his game further without added pressure.
Luckily for him, he also has some great veterans like Kuzma around him. As Kuz said, Coulibaly needs to weather the storm and get past it. There will be more rough patches waiting for him, but at the end of the day, all he needs to do is learn from those experiences and use it to fuel the growth of his game. | https://clutchpoints.com/wizards-news-kyle-kuzma-sage-advice-for-bilal-coulibaly-amid-rookie-struggles | 2024-01-01T03:34:12Z |
Dubai energy company embarks on ambitious expansion plan
Every individual desires additional income. Saving and Investing with Patience (SIP) is a continuous process. Like we say, every dollar should have a job to generate a dollar. Funds lying idle in savings account will not assist the individual to tackle rising prices and inflation. In the process of earning and investing part of these earnings to generate returns, investors make their own rules suiting their own needs. Long term wealth is not built in a short span of time. Here are some of the probable rules that you may wish to incorporate in your rule book –
Make your own rules, respect your rules, don’t break them
First and foremost, rule for investing is to make your own rules and respect these rules during your investing journey. You make your own rules considering risk appetite, availability of funds for savings that can be invested, plan for future needs, emergency payments etc. Rules would differ for every investor. This discipline will keep a check on decisions that you may be tempted to initiate as an investor. Only amend your rules when you are convinced and not based on the influence of someone or some instance or emotion. Ultimately, be it right or wrong, you own the process, and you are the sole beneficiary of the outcome, be it profit or loss.
Practice what you can understand and understand better
Considering that your own money is involved here, you need to first understand the investment product and clear all your doubts. Rather than placing reliance on third parties and regretting later, spend some time to read through all the documents carefully, understand the risk involved, discuss your queries with the institution selling you the product and unless all your doubts are cleared, do not initiate a transaction. While it may be Sellers duty to sell a product, investors are not dutybound to buy this product. When it comes to your own work or profession, you endeavor to obtain proficiency and master the job. On similar lines, when it comes to investing, you need to learn and practice. Focus on avenues that you can understand and practice better rather than mastering all subjects within the investment curriculum. With practice and experience, your ability will eventually improve and you will be confident to initiate decisions.
Define risk appetite
Facing risk during investing journey is like a sailor of ship facing rough sea or tides during sailing. Investors must navigate through these tides during this investing journey with the aim of building a decent portfolio that would act as a catalyst in accumulating wealth. Extent of risk is defined by the investor. Investing is easier compared to holding the same investment (staying invested) during rough times when markets are volatile. In fact, volatile times are better for investing. Buy when there is panic and fear across. Ultimately, the world is not coming to an end. Intention is to invest long term and avoid frequent trades or transactions that may eventually impact or cause a dent on the capital available. Always limit your risk to the extent that you can afford in case prices of these investments drop to the downside. Aim is to build wealth from capital rather than erode capital.
Spend adequate time in learning and review at periodic intervals
Lets take an example, you own a few shares of a particular company. When was the last time you picked up annual report of a company and read through the entire compilation including future business outlook to understand how your company has performed in the previous year and what are the projections for the coming year? How will the company face headwinds in their business and what are the tailwinds that would propel growth of the company? Unless you have a basic understanding of the company’s business and these questions answered, you are placing a bet on the company either based on tip or there is Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). In either case, you are taking a risk and that may affect your capital or savings. Following a tip without analysis is a catalyst to wealth erosion and investing during turbulent times and holding these investments leads to wealth accumulation. Losing opportunity is better than losing money. The pace at which business dynamics are changing globally requires adequate agility to change the course of action and your learning and experience will enable you to take decisions that may benefit you in the long run. Sound financial knowledge is the best recipe for financial fitness.
Fundamentals and Technical Analysis
Fundamentals and Technical Analysis play a vital role in evaluating price movements from time to time. Changes in fundamentals directly affect the price movement as markets are extremely dynamic to factor in price adjustments, both positive and negative. Carrying out Technical Analysis of price movements requires learning and training. Technical Analysis will allow an investor to chart price movements based on historic trends. A combination of Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis will strengthen investor’s decision-making ability to prepare for entry or exit in a particular investment. Plethora of content is available on social media portals for learning. Several books are also available for investors to read and learn while they pursue their investing journey. Your unbiased analysis is supreme over any TIP that is being offered. Buy as per your analysis and sell as per your analysis.
Write what you intend to trade (Plan) and follow what you have written
Mind is always active with thoughts. To follow a systematic approach, investor should ideally note down a plan of action and follow this plan. Prepare a list of opportunities that you anticipate and make a choice depending upon the price movement. There may be deviations in the process, but the extent of deviations should be within the tolerance range defined by the investor. Price action demands agility and resilience on the part of investor when dealing with markets. Plan before execution, execute as per plan and monitor as per system, is an ideal plan of action. Failing to plan (raw material) is a perfect recipe for planning to fail (finished product).
Review investment portfolio, compare performance vs benchmark
At the beginning itself, you may choose to decide benchmark that you would follow when evaluating performance of your investment. Intention is to beat the benchmark return and generate alpha (over and above benchmark return). In the process of review, if the investment has underperformed, evaluate causes for such underperformance and decide next course of action. Reason for review and comparison is to improvise performance, thereby improvising returns. Learn from mistakes and avert these mistakes in future. Let these learnings remind you in future when you initiate any decision.
Preserve and review all communications thoroughly
In the process of investing, various communications drop into your email inbox, be it statements, notifications or alerts or messages relating to investments held. Please ensure that you read every such message and notification, keep track of important messages, important dates for payout or maturity and any alerts relating to investments should not go unnoticed. You may wish to have a dedicated email account specifically to keep track of communications relating to investments. Every line item in the statement should be reviewed and queries, if any, should be raised with the institution. Data and documentation were important yesterday, are important today and will be important tomorrow as well.
Plan for reinvesting profits
Have a systematic plan to book profits at periodic intervals and reinvest part of the profits in accumulating hard assets. This is how you can accumulate wealth. Building asset base will equip you to cover liabilities in future. Reward earned and reinvested will generate further rewards in future and this cycle should ideally continue. While reinvesting profits to generate returns, do not miss out to reinvest part of these rewards into improvise your learnings.
The above are some of the rules that you may wish to imbibe and let your investing journey be rewarding and your ability empowers you to navigate through challenges and achieve your desired goal. Wishing you the very best for this investing journey and may this journey be rewarding for you.

When the 56-19 loss settled, the Miami Dolphins needed more than one glance into their proverbial mirrors.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wished he had shifted his glance a little more quickly to see the defender in his receiver’s path on his first interception, and he wished he hadn’t tried to force a ball to Tyreek Hill over the linebacker who snatched the second.
Hill wished he hadn’t bobbled and then dropped a wide-open touchdown pass from Tagovailoa, one of six targets on which the duo failed to connect in the blowout loss.
Dolphins defenders wish they had tackled better in space, limiting or at least complicating the Baltimore Ravens’ display of run-in touchdowns.
And head coach Mike McDaniel wished he had pulled edge rusher Bradley Chubb earlier from an out-of-reach contest. Instead, with the Dolphins trailing by 30 points and less than 4 minutes to play in regulation, Chubb suffered a non-contact knee injury that required carting off.
“I would like a time machine, for sure, in that situation,” McDaniel said. “In hindsight, I would absolutely not have wanted him out there if I would have known he was going to get hurt.
“There’s times in football games where it’s not about winning or losing or ‘Can we come back?’ It's about finishing the football game and having a taste of what our expectations were going into it.”
The Dolphins’ expectations entering their visit to Baltimore and their reality traveling home at 11-5 veered far apart. Their playoff expectations now risk the same trajectory.
“Situations like this where you go into a game with full belief in each other and the eventual outcome … ends up monumentally in another direction, it’s a gut check for a football team,” McDaniel said. “We need to recalibrate, get back together and press forward together.
“Run from nothing. Own it.”
How the Dolphins unraveled vs. stifling Ravens
The Dolphins started off the game strong.
Tagovailoa connected with Hill, running back De’Von Achane and fullback Alec Ingold each for double-digit gains on the first drive alone. Facing third-and-goal from Baltimore’s 8, Tagovailoa pump-faked his first throw before nailing receiver Cedrick Wilson on a high-low concept that forced the Ravens’ defense to wonder whether Hill or Wilson was its intended receiver.
The Dolphins had found the end zone first. But Baltimore answered.
Despite Rashod Bateman failing to survive the ground on a 42-yard pass that was reversed and offensive pass interference nullifying a 26-yard completion to Justice Hill, Jackson distributed the ball a la Tagovailoa with chunk plays to three different targets on the way to the red zone. With 6:39 to play in the first, Jackson dropped back and let a ball rip amid pressure, finding Hill between two defenders on the right sideline for a 20-yard touchdown.
The Dolphins stayed alive with a Tyreek Hill 25-yard catch on fourth-and-5 their next drive but ultimately settled for a field goal.
Against the fourth-ranked scoring offense in the league, that’s not a winning formula.
Nor is turning the ball over.
Miami stayed competitive early, forcing a punt and scoring a pair of field goals. But after a seeming busted coverage allowed a 75-yard touchdown – cornerback Xavien Howard, injured on the first Ravens snap of the day, was missed – the game began veering off course for Miami.
Tagovailoa hurried to fit a play in before halftime and instead threw the first interception.
Miami’s special teams allowed a 78-yard punt return to start the second half, one of several factors in McDaniel’s postgame remark: “I’m confident saying before watching the film: We’re not going to be happy with the way we tackled in open space.”
And even when the Dolphins defense punched a ball loose from Ravens RB Gus Edwards, the optimism was short-lived.
Tagovailoa’s second interception was the next play.
The Dolphins could expect nothing different from the NFL's most takeaway-happy group.
“With circumstances within the game, there was a play or two where maybe we were forcing something,” McDaniel said. “Defensively, they’ve been very opportunistic. We knew that, and ultimately, we played right into their hands.”
A day Tyreek Hill described as “one of the worst games of my career” became the Dolphins’ worst loss of the season, and a day on which Miami was shorthanded due to injuries merited less sympathy when considering the Ravens’ bill of health.
Baltimore was missing its starting right guard, star tight end, two running backs and a cornerback.
Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith, who intercepted and returned a pass 30 yards in addition to seven tackles and another deflection, said Baltimore couldn’t dwell on that or their short week after a Monday night game across the country.
“It’s just adversity,” Smith said. “Look adversity in the face, and like I always tell the guys – chin up, chest out. We don't bow down for anything. Do all you can do. People make excuses with adversity and we just produce.
“Life is not about excuses. It's about what you do and play the cards that you’re dealt.”
The Dolphins best heed that advice.
After Ravens crush Miami, are Dolphins’ playoff hopes at stake?
Tagovailoa, despite taking a hit to his throwing shoulder on a fourth-quarter scramble, was healthy enough to address reporters after the game and seems on schedule to complete his fully available season.
Based on the cart, non-contact nature of injury and shellshock in Dolphins players’ voices, Chubb seems unlikely to play next week or in the postseason.
So sure, in a regular-season finale with the AFC East title on the line, Miami won’t be at full saddle. Neither will Buffalo nor any team the Dolphins face in the postseason.
What the franchise needs to do is better adjust to its personnel shifts and better scheme for its available players. Miami did that well in the run game Sunday, when Achane took the lead role in place of the injured Raheem Mostert, Achane contributing a game-high 137 yards and one touchdown.
But Miami’s passing attack was far too inconsistent, as Tagovailoa completed 57.9% of his passes compared to his league-leading 70.5% mark across the season. (For context, 51 quarterbacks who have attempted at least 50 passes have attempted more than 57.9%.)
Baltimore gashed the Dolphins defense for 491 total yards, a season-worst allowance along with the 56-point output.
Sure, as fairly said after the Ravens dismantled the 49ers, most teams cannot attack and maintain pressure at the rate which Baltimore can.
But the Dolphins have dabbled in Super Bowl-contender conversations, and it’s unlikely they’ll be able to reach that goal without besting Baltimore. It’s unlikely they’ll be able to win any remaining regular or postseason game with the suppressed performance all three phases produced Sunday.
“Everything’s still in front of us,” Tagovailoa said, but achieving it will require much more than Miami showed with the chance to clinch the division on the line.
Tagovailoa preached the importance of consistency after the Dolphins played well enough through one quarter to win but not through four.
Then, he tapped into the glass-half-full perspective as he moved forward.
“If you have the perspective of things could be worse – we could not have clinched the playoff berth, we could not have been playing in a game like this that mattered for positioning with the seeding,” Tagovailoa said. “So if you think of it like that, we’re right where we need to be as a team, regardless of the outcome today.
“We’ll be better for it and hopefully get to see these guys again.” | https://www.actionnewsjax.com/news/national/whats-next-dolphins/XC7WHVG4HWAGZHXQNLPWQ3ULU4/ | 2024-01-01T03:34:12Z |
FREEPORT, N.Y. — Authorities in New York are looking for the person responsible for stabbing a dog 17 times.
The dog, a 2-year-old Terrier mix who has since been named Cornell, was injured by a sharp object on Nov. 27, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly told WNBC-TV. He survived the attack but had a long road to recovery.
A woman claimed to have found the dog bleeding on a street in the Long Island village of Freeport, according to the television station. The dog did not have a collar or an identification chip, Donnelly said. There was no evidence that Cornell was part of a dogfighting ring, WNBC reported.
The woman who found the dog is not a suspect, Donnelly said.
“Cornell can’t tell us his story. He can’t tell us what happened. He can’t tell us why or when something like this happened to him,” Donnelly told WABC-TV. “We just know he was found bleeding from the 17 wounds.”

— Eyewitness News (@ABC7NY) December 29, 2023
“I’ve seen some pretty horrific things but the extent of the amount of times he was stabbed is unimaginable how someone could ever do that,” Ashley Behrens, acting director of the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, told WPIX-TV.
The dog is now walking, jogging and thriving, barely a month after he was attacked, according to the television station.
Two-year-old terrier mix Cornell is walking, jogging, and thriving just one month after being found with 17 stab wounds across his body, according to county officials.
“Some of the stab wounds caused his lungs to leak air between his body cavity and his lungs, and they had to be drained a number of times,” Donnelly said, according to WABC. “The other stab wounds were cleaned, were either stapled or sewn.”
Donnelly said there were currently no suspects, but she said her office is seeking the public’s help to find out what happened to Cornell.
“I believe this was somebody’s pet. He’s too healthy and in too good shape to have been a street dog,” Donnelly said, according to WNBC. “We need the public’s health to help us find who did this to Cornell.”
Gary Rogers of the Nassau County SPCA echoed Donnelly’s comments.
“People start out on animals before they move into human beings,” Rogers told WPIX. “Somebody in the community knows what happened. You got to keep your community safe. You need to call the DA’s office and tell them who did this because next time you’re going to look at this it could be somebody else.”
Nassau County SPCA is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction, WABC reported. | https://www.kkyx.com/news/trending/dog-survives-after-being-stabbed-17-times/7UTCMVE4B5H7XPWUMMAC6N3X3U/ | 2024-01-01T03:34:10Z |
WYOMING, Mich. — Two people were injured after an argument at a Walmart store in Michigan escalated into gunfire on Sunday, authorities said.
The man and woman who were shot suffered injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, WXMI-TV reported.
The shooting took place at about 6 p.m. in the city of Wyoming, police spokesperson Lt. Andrew Koeller said.

Police said there was an altercation between the two suspects and the male victim, according to WZZM-TV. The shooting took place in the front of the store near the checkout lanes. The male victim was shot; the woman was not a target, the television station reported.
The suspects fled the scene, police said. Both men were wearing masks, WOOD-TV reported.
“This is a brazen public attack. This is not something that we would tolerate, this is not something that should occur,” Koeller told reporters. “And we encourage the public to give any information in help solving this brazen crime and like I mentioned, unfortunately, an innocent bystander was struck. Two people were struck and that’s completely unfortunate.”
It is unclear what led to the altercation between the suspects and the man, WOOD-TV reported. It was also unclear whether the suspects and the male victim knew one another, according to the television station. | https://www.actionnewsjax.com/news/trending/2-injured-shooting-walmart-michigan/2APDDUBCZ5DPXFFTF2PICOVLRU/ | 2024-01-01T03:34:14Z |

North Korea’s Kim orders military to ‘thoroughly annihilate’ US, South Korea if provoked
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 defense 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.
In his New Year’s Day address Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he will strengthen his military’s preemptive strike, missile defense and retaliatory capabilities in response to the North Korean nuclear threat.
“The Republic of Korea is building genuine, lasting peace through strength, not a submissive peace that is dependent on the goodwill of the adversary,” Yoon said, using South Korea’s official name.
At the party meeting, Kim called South Korea “a hemiplegic malformation and colonial subordinate state” whose society is “tainted by Yankee culture.” He said his military must use all available means including nuclear weapons to “suppress the whole territory of South Korea” in the event of a conflict.
South Korea’s Defense Ministry warned in response that if North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, South Korean and U.S. forces will punish it overwhelmingly, resulting in the end of the Kim government.
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.
Kim has since sought to modernize his weapons arsenal and strengthen North Korea’s relationships with China and Russia. KCNA said Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged New Year’s Day messages on Monday on bolstering bilateral ties.
North Korea faces suspicions that it has supplied conventional arms for Russia’s war in Ukraine in return for sophisticated Russian technologies to enhance the North’s military programs.
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.

Calvin de Haan ends 46-game goal drought with tiebreaking score as Lightning top Canadiens 4-3
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Calvin de Haan ended his 46-game goal drought with the tiebreaking score in the third period, and the Tampa Bay Lightning rallied past the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 on Sunday night.
The defenseman put Tampa Bay up 3-2 with a shot from the left circle at 7:49 off a pass from Nikita Kucherov, who became the first NHL player to reach 60 points this season.
Kucherov added an insurance goal before Nick Suzuki pulled Montreal to 4-3 with 2:05 left.
Tampa Bay backup Jonas Johansson made 27 saves in his first game since Dec. 7. The Lightning got also goals from Brayden Point and Austin Watson.
Lightning captain Steven Stamkos had an assist and set a franchise record by playing in his 1,038th game.
Johnathan Kovacevic scored from his own defensive zone and Cole Caufield had the other Montreal goal. Sam Montembeault stopped 16 shots.
Montembeault gloved a blue-line shot by Darren Raddysh. After holding the puck for a few seconds with no whistle from the referees, the goalie dropped the puck to Kovacevic. The defenseman took a couple of strides forward and, seeing that most players thought play was stopped, including Johansson, who had skated into the corner, fired home a long-distance shot into the vacated net to make it 2-0 at 11:59 of the second.
Point and Watson scored later in the period to tie it at 2. Watson, playing in his 500th game, sent a bouncing shot from along the left-wing boards that eluded Montembeault.
Caufield opened the scoring 3:58 into the second after he stole the puck from Stamkos deep in the Tampa Bay zone.
Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak left after taking a hard check behind the Tampa Bay net from Josh Anderson nine seconds after Caufield’s goal. Anderson was assessed a charging penalty.
Tampa Bay defenseman Haydn Fleury also left in the second after taking a shot off his right hand. Lightning forward Nicholas Paul skated off gingerly after being hit in the right knee by Stamkos' shot in the third.
Montreal center Christian Dvorak sat out with an upper-body injury.

Canadiens: Play at Dallas on Tuesday night.

WASHINGTON - The PGA Tour worked Sunday to extend a deadline into 2024 for finalizing a merger agreement with Saudi Arabian investors, tour commissioner Jay Monahan calling talks "active and productive."
The update to players in a memo from Monahan came hours ahead of the year-end deadline to approve a framework agreement merging the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) that finances the upstart LIV Golf League.
An update on the PGA Tour website regarding talks said the memo, which reportedly was obtained by The Golf Channel and ESPN, addressed efforts to extend the deadline into 2024.
Monahan said in his memo, according to the Golf Channel, that the PGA Tour will "continue our active and productive conversations with PIF and the DP World Tour.
"While we had initially set a deadline of December 31, 2023, to reach an agreement, we are working to extend our negotiations into next year based on the progress we have made to date."
Monahan also said the PGA Tour had made "meaningful progress" in separate negotiations to have Strategic Sports Group (SSG) become a tour minority investor.
Monahan's memo said the goal remains to have PIF, the DP World Tour and SSG become minority co-investors in PGA Tour Enterprises in 2024.
"These partnerships will allow us to unify, innovate and invest in the game for the benefit of the players, fans and sponsors," Monahan said.
ESPN reported the SSG would invest $3 billion into the new entity, which would be financed to more than $7 billion if the PIF investment were also included in any deal.
The PGA Tour has been negotiating with PIF since June with a stated December 31 deadline on final details of a merger agreement, the announcement of which stunned PGA Tour players and led to players demanding and getting greater input in final approval of the deal.
Spain's Jon Rahm, the reigning Masters champion, jumped from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf in early December, serving notice that the Saudi-backed series and its plans for a 2024 campaign could pull even more talent from the PGA Tour as it did in 2022 for its inaugural season. | https://www.bangkokpost.com/sports/2716141/pga-works-to-extend-active-and-productive-saudi-merger-talks | 2024-01-01T03:34:16Z |

2024 could be a year of growth
Like the outgoing year, 2024 could be a challenging year but it will also offer immense opportunities to Bangladesh's corporate sector to post growth, said eminent industrialist M Anis Ud Dowla.
In an interview with The Daily Star, the chairman of ACI Group said, "The country's development has been remarkable amid difficulties."
"Infrastructural development has been quite remarkable. Overall, if we look at the GDP growth and per capita income growth, all these have been very positive."
The former president of the Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce & Industry said the country had experienced shock from the foreign exchange shortage.
"I think the issue of foreign exchanges has been managed and other financial issues are being addressed. Overall, we are very upbeat about 2024."
"Hopefully, the next elections will be peaceful and participatory. And after the election, stability will be attained. So, I am quite hopeful for the future. Bangladeshis are smart people."
Talking about the economy, he said 2023 had been difficult.
"We had a stressful time. But we have to think positively and overcome the difficulty. We can't give up and be frustrated."
Anis Ud Dowla said 2024 will also be a challenging year.
"To this end, a discipline must return to the financial sector and it should be reformed. The export capacity should be strengthened."
He said the country is witnessing challenges because of misgovernance in the financial sector.
"We are going through economic difficulties in terms of creditability and liquidity of banks. I hope the problems will be sorted out."
"We should look forward to a happy future, not disheartened by the current difficulties."
The noted entrepreneur urged business people to participate in the development of the country by properly paying taxes and maintaining law and order.
"The politicians will look after the political side. From the economic side, we should be helping the government."
He urged the young generation to acquire knowledge.
"Without required knowledge, they will be a burden for society. But if they attain the knowledge and embrace the latest technologies, they will be an asset for Bangladesh as well as for the world."
"Then they will be able to help the country earn the fame as a role model for development on the global stage." | https://www.thedailystar.net/business/economy/news/2024-could-be-year-growth-3507541 | 2024-01-01T03:34:16Z |
DENVER -- After the tumultuous, franchise-shifting week that was, the Denver Broncos, with quarterback Russell Wilson benched, relied on Jarrett Stidham, who did just enough Sunday in leading the club to a 16-9 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in Empower Field at Mile High.
Broncos coach Sean Payton shocked many this past Wednesday, including his players, when he benched Wilson in search of a "spark'' in the team's offense and moved Stidham in as the starter. Sunday was Stidham's third career start in his four years in the league.
"Thought he was good, thought he was collected, calm," Payton said. "Thought he played with real good poise ... thought he was efficient in and out of the huddle, thought he made some good throws ... Thought he did great."
Stidham did not turn the ball over in a no frills 20-of-32 passing performance for 224 yards and 54-yard, catch-and-run touchdown by wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey who broke several tackles on the play. Stidham had 95 of his passing yards on the play to Humphrey and another 41-yarder to Jerry Jeudy -- both in the first half -- to go with 129 yards on his 18 other completions in the game.
"Super excited, obviously, to get another opportunity," Stidham said. "This is my third opportunity to start ... so it hasn't been much, but obviously was super excited for the opportunity this week ... just tried to play with emotion and get a win, and thankfully, we did."
Stidham had 165 of his passing yards, as well as the touchdown throw to Humphrey, in the first half, and the Broncos never trailed in the game.
It all capped an unexpected week for Stidham as Payton had told the players in a Wednesday morning team meeting Wilson was to be benched and Stidham would start against the Chargers. Wilson, who said Friday he was told in the days following the Broncos' Oct. 29 win over Kansas City he would be benched if he didn't adjust some guaranteed money in his contract, was one of three team captains to go to midfield for the coin toss.
And that may have been the last steps he will take on the Broncos' homefield. Stidham said Wilson helped him throughout the week and that the two had an extended conversation the day Payton made the announcement.
"He said he was there for me -- anything I needed," Stidham said. "We were communicating on the sideline after drives and stuff. (I) can't speak highly enough about him -- I said that earlier this week. Great teammate, great person. He was super helpful throughout the week."
Payton was asked following the game if Wilson had been told by team officials he would be benched if he did not agree to adjust his contract. Payton said, as he did Friday, he was not "privy" to the specifics of those conversations, pointing to owner/CEO Greg Penner and general manager George Paton instead.
"When the season ends and you have questions specific to all of that - I wasn't privy to the dialogue -- you'll be able to ask the appropriate people," Payton said. "Russ has been fantastic this week. I think this idea he and I, or we, don't have a good relationship or he's not a fit, all of that stuff comes from people further away from our program. He's approached this week like we expected, like a pro, that's it."
Wilson said Friday the Broncos approached him about waiving an guarantee in the five-year $242.6 million contract he signed in 20022 that would give Wilson, who is already guaranteed $39 million in 2024 whether he is on the team or not, another $37 million (his 2025 salary) guaranteed if he could not pass a physical on the fifth day of the new league year in March.
Team sources have said they hoped to adjust the timing of the guarantee.
Given the benching as well as the stalemate over the contract issue, Wilson's future with the Broncos is certainly in doubt, though Payton has maintained no decision on that has been made. Stidham, who signed a two-year, $10 million deal last March is expected to get the start in the season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders.
He was asked Sunday if he felt like he would leave the impression that he could be the Broncos' starter in 2024.
"I'm just kind of focused on celebrating the win," Stidham said. "(I) have a bunch of family and stuff in town, so going to take the night to celebrate that, celebrate the New Year. That's all I can control for right this second." | https://africa.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39220257/jarrett-stidham-denver-broncos-top-los-angeles-chargers | 2024-01-01T03:34:18Z |

Nothing is likely to change LeBron James' mind that his ruled long two was really a game-tying three-pointer in the waning seconds of his team's thrilling 108-106 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday. It'd be interesting to get the Los Angeles Lakers superstar's updated opinion on the controversy after watching this Zapruder-esque film of his crunch-time jumper, though.
A slowed-down, zoomed-in video of James' bucket made the social media rounds shortly after his team's loss, one that appears to show his right toes just barely grazing the three-point line.
Even that perspective doesn't yield a definitive answer one way or the other. James' score was called a two on the floor and upheld by video review, a decision made by officials in the Secaucus, NJ replay center.
Still, an incensed LeBron James pointed to a monitor on the sidelines at Target Center showing a replay after the call was upheld, imploring veteran referee Tony Brothers to overrule the call made by officials off-site. He was just as adamant in the postgame locker room, the 39-year-old's birthday spoiled by a ruling he deemed flat-out wrong.
“I mean, it's obvious it's a 3,” he said. “My foot was behind the line. You can see the space between the front of my foot and the 3-point line. You can clearly see the wood on the floor, the space in between the front of my foot and the 3-point line. Stevie Wonder can see that, champ.”
The Lakers' loss moves them to 17-16 overall entering the second leg of a tough road back-to-back on New Year's eve against the New Orleans Pelicans. | https://clutchpoints.com/zapruder-esque-film-shows-lebron-james-toe-was-probably-on-line-on-clutch-shot-vs-timberwolves | 2024-01-01T03:34:18Z |

GOTHENBURG, Sweden -- Michigan forward Rutger McGroarty had a hat trick, Michigan State's Trey Augustine made 38 saves and the United States defeated Slovakia 10-2 on Sunday in the world junior hockey championship to complete Group B play undefeated.
Michigan's Gavin Brindley and Michigan State's Isaac Howard each scored twice and Denver's Zeev Buium and Boston College teammates Ryan Leonard and Cutter Gauthier added goals.
"I thought we played extremely well overall," U.S. coach David Carle said. "We're continuing to build and now we're on to the next phase with the quarterfinals."
McGroarty, who was selected 14th overall by the Winnipeg Jets in the 2022 NHL Draft and has six goals and 18 points for the Wolverines this season, will lead the Americans into a matchup vs. Latvia on Tuesday in the quarterfinals. Latvia was fourth in Group A.
Marian Mosko and Filip Mesar scored for Slovakia. It will face Finland in the quarterfinals.
In the other group B finale, the Czech Republic beat Switzerland 4-2. In Group A, Finland beat Sweden 5-4 in a shootout and Canada topped Germany 6-3. Sweden -- which shut out its first three group opponents -- was first in the group, followed by Canada and Finland.
In the quarterfinals, Sweden will face Switzerland, and Canada will play the Czech Republic.
Jani Nyman tied it for Finland late in regulation and scored the deciding goal in the shootout.
"I don't know what happened, but we weren't ready at the start," Swedish forward Noah Ostlund said. "We don't make to make excuses. We have to be better next time."
Boston University star Macklin Celebrini scored twice for Canada.
"One of those games where you just got to keep going," said the 17-year-old Celebrini, expected to be the top pick in the NHL draft. "We just had to push through ... it's never going to be perfect."
Jiri Kulich scored the deciding goals for the Czech Republic.

FREEPORT, N.Y. — Authorities in New York are looking for the person responsible for stabbing a dog 17 times.
The dog, a 2-year-old Terrier mix who has since been named Cornell, was injured by a sharp object on Nov. 27, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly told WNBC-TV. He survived the attack but had a long road to recovery.
A woman claimed to have found the dog bleeding on a street in the Long Island village of Freeport, according to the television station. The dog did not have a collar or an identification chip, Donnelly said. There was no evidence that Cornell was part of a dogfighting ring, WNBC reported.
The woman who found the dog is not a suspect, Donnelly said.
“Cornell can’t tell us his story. He can’t tell us what happened. He can’t tell us why or when something like this happened to him,” Donnelly told WABC-TV. “We just know he was found bleeding from the 17 wounds.”
Dog found stabbed 17 times in Nassau County, $5K reward offered for information https://t.co/1rJiYJmwbx pic.twitter.com/HfMGPIGtas
— Eyewitness News (@ABC7NY) December 29, 2023
“I’ve seen some pretty horrific things but the extent of the amount of times he was stabbed is unimaginable how someone could ever do that,” Ashley Behrens, acting director of the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, told WPIX-TV.
The dog is now walking, jogging and thriving, barely a month after he was attacked, according to the television station.
Two-year-old terrier mix Cornell is walking, jogging, and thriving just one month after being found with 17 stab wounds across his body, according to county officials.
“Some of the stab wounds caused his lungs to leak air between his body cavity and his lungs, and they had to be drained a number of times,” Donnelly said, according to WABC. “The other stab wounds were cleaned, were either stapled or sewn.”
Donnelly said there were currently no suspects, but she said her office is seeking the public’s help to find out what happened to Cornell.
“I believe this was somebody’s pet. He’s too healthy and in too good shape to have been a street dog,” Donnelly said, according to WNBC. “We need the public’s health to help us find who did this to Cornell.”
Gary Rogers of the Nassau County SPCA echoed Donnelly’s comments.
“People start out on animals before they move into human beings,” Rogers told WPIX. “Somebody in the community knows what happened. You got to keep your community safe. You need to call the DA’s office and tell them who did this because next time you’re going to look at this it could be somebody else.”
Nassau County SPCA is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction, WABC reported. | https://www.actionnewsjax.com/news/trending/dog-survives-after-being-stabbed-17-times/7UTCMVE4B5H7XPWUMMAC6N3X3U/ | 2024-01-01T03:34:21Z |

BERLIN - German police arrested three people on Sunday over an alleged attack plot targeting the cathedral in Cologne on New Year's Eve.
The "alleged means of attack" is a car, said police in the western city, adding that security measures have been stepped up around the site.
The three suspects are believed to be linked to a Tajik who was arrested on Christmas Eve, said Cologne police chief Johannes Hermann.
The Tajik was detained by German police on the same day as Austria announced the arrests of another three suspects in Vienna.
Bild daily had reported then that the four are all Tajiks who allegedly wanted to carry out attacks for Islamic State-Khorasan (IS-K), an IS offshoot in Afghanistan.
"Islamist people and groups" are "more active than ever at the moment," warned Herbert Reul, interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia state, where Cologne is located.
Investigations following the Tajik's arrest a week back had found that there is a plot to deploy a car as a means of attack, but "in which way is not known to us," said Frank Wissbaum of Cologne police.
Officers had deployed sniffer dogs to search the underground parking of the cathedral for explosives but they have not yet turned up anything suspicious.
Nevertheless, protective measures have been significantly stepped up, with around 1,000 police officers deployed since this afternoon to "protect the cathedral and the population in Cologne city centre".
Reul voiced confidence that New Year's festivities can go ahead.
"I think that people can celebrate calmly in Cologne today," he said.
- Germany on high alert -
Germany has been on high alert in recent weeks over possible Islamist attacks, with the country's domestic intelligence chief warning in late November that the risk of such assaults is "real and higher than it has been for a long time" because of the Israel-Hamas war.
The deadliest attack by Islamist extremists in Germany was carried out by an IS supporter who rammed a truck into a Berlin Christmas market in December 2016, killing 12 people.
Germany issued a ban on Hamas activities and organisations linked to the group in the wake of the militants' attack on Israel that killed around 1,140 people, most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures.
Hamas militants also took some 250 hostages, of whom at least 129 are believed to still be held in Gaza.
In retaliation for the deadliest attack in its history, Israel announced it would destroy Hamas and began a relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip before a ground offensive there.
Gaza's Hamas government says the death toll in the Palestinian territory had reached 21,822, mostly women and children. | https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/2716131/arrests-in-germany-over-cologne-cathedral-attack-plot | 2024-01-01T03:34:23Z |

Businesses display resilience
Businesses in Bangladesh managed to demonstrate resilience in 2023 despite lingering challenges stemming from the war between Russia and Ukraine and the fuel price volatility in the international market, said Rupali Chowdhury, president of the Bangladesh Association of Publicly Listed Companies (BAPLC).
"The burgeoning middle-class showed resilience, so businesses survived."
She said though the war was a global phenomenon, Bangladesh was also impacted by its high dependency on fuel imports to run electricity plants.
Chowdhury, a former president of the Foreign Investors' Chamber of Commerce & Industries, says 2023 was a challenging year for businesses except for those in one or two sectors and it started in 2022.
Inflation was high in 2023 due to the exchange rate fluctuation, which ultimately weakened the value of the local currency significantly against the US dollar.
"So, the consumption for products declined in almost all sectors. Even, the demand for fast-moving consumer goods dropped. As a whole, consumption has reduced," she said.
Moreover, she said, businesses could not pass the full burden of the currency depreciation to customers since it could bring down the demand further. Large firms were able to continue their operations while it was very challenging for small and medium enterprises.
Currently the managing director of Berger Paints Bangladesh, Chowdhury says the companies that were in expansionary mood could not open letters of credit (LCs) to import capital machinery.
The LC opening situation was tough initially before seeing some improvement. But it has come under stress recently, maybe for the uncertainty surrounding the national election.
She said some companies are supplying products to government projects, but the supply shrank as the projects are moving at a slower pace.
Fortunately, the electricity situation did not worsen as businesses had feared at the start of the year although the price rose significantly. The supply of gas was, however, in bad shape, inflicting damages on industries.
"The high price of fuels ultimately raised the costs of production. Therefore, it was difficult to maintain profitability for the companies that did not cut jobs or salaries."
According to the CEO, multiple exchange rates and the volatility in dollar prices also hit businesses in the just-concluded calendar year.
"2023 was the most difficult year for all."
Still, Chowdhury sounds optimistic about 2024.
If Bangladesh can borrow $8 billion to $10 billion from the World Bank and other multinational development partners, the situation will improve, she said.
"We are hopeful as the agricultural sector is doing well. And we hope the country will come out of the current situation." | https://www.thedailystar.net/business/economy/news/businesses-display-resilience-3507521 | 2024-01-01T03:34:23Z |

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A South Florida business owner is accused of shooting a landscaper on Friday after the worker allegedly blew leaves onto his property, authorities said.
According to Miami-Dade County online booking records, Claudio Arrendell, 52, was charged with one count of attempted murder.
Police said that Arrendell, the owner of P&P Auto Tire Shop in northwestern Miami-Dade County, got into an argument with the landscaper, WTVJ-TV reported.
A judge gave the business owner no bond on Saturday, after allegedly shooting a landscaper over leaves blown onto his property. Here's the latest: https://t.co/pCUhEtiKi5
— NBC 6 South Florida (@nbc6) December 31, 2023
Police said the landscaper was working at a property across the street from the business, and Arrendell was allegedly upset that the leaves from the workers were blowing onto his property, according to the television station.
According to police, Arrendell allegedly pulled out a gun and shot the landscaper, WSVN-TV reported.
The victim, who has not been identified, was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital and was originally listed in critical condition, according to WFOR-TV. The victim has since been upgraded to stable condition, investigators told the television station.
During Arrendell’s court appearance on Saturday, the judge ruled that Arrendell would be held without bond, according to WPLG-TV. | https://www.actionnewsjax.com/news/trending/tire-shop-owner-accused-shooting-landscaper-who-blew-leaves-onto-property/JTNTIP5L75ARBN5YW6AF2T5ZU4/ | 2024-01-01T03:34:26Z |
He first arrived by ship from Mumbai in 1973 at the age of 18
UAE's two most popular gaming and raffles draw operators have put their activities on hold. Mahzooz and Emirates Draw said the pause from January 1, 2024, is temporary but did not specify when the games would resume.
Here is all you need to know.
The move is in line with the latest directives from the UAE Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) - a federal body set up in September. It was not immediately clear when other gaming companies will follow suit, although Mahzooz said this is an "industry-wide mandate" that "aligns with regulators' efforts to create a well-regulated gaming environment in the UAE".
Emirates Draw said the temporary pause from January 1, 2024, will help it return with an “enhanced gaming experience soon”.
Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels.
Mahzooz updated its FAQ, where it revealed that “no draws will be held after December 30, 2023, until further notice from the regulators". Emirates Draw has paused the sale of tickets in the UAE after December 31.
Customers can request the withdrawal of any remaining account balance.
Existing accounts will remain active even during the pause. “Any balance you have will be secure until we resume operations or until you decide to withdraw it,” Emirates Draw said, adding that certain features like creating new accounts, buying tickets or adding credits will be paused.
Every prize, whether small or big, can be withdrawn and paid in full.
Mahzooz said it is looking forward to resuming the draws “soon” – mostly likely in the first quarter of 2024 once it gets the go-ahead from the regulators. “We genuinely appreciate your understanding during this short break.”
Emirates Draw said it will provide detailed information through official channels “at the appropriate time”.
The GCGRA was established as a federal authority to introduce a regulatory framework for a national lottery and commercial gaming, state news agency Wam reported in September. Tasked with creating a "socially responsible" gaming environment, the authority is to ensure that all participants "adhere to strict guidelines and comply with the highest standards". Among its mandates are to coordinate regulatory activities, manage licensing and unlock the economic potential of commercial gaming responsibly.

Anton Forsberg makes 45 saves in Senators’ 5-1 victory over Sabres
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Anton Forsberg made 45 saves and Ottawa beat the Buffalo Sabres 5-1 on Sunday night in Senators interim coach Jacques Martin’s 1,300th NHL game.
Ottawa won after removing the interim tag and appointing Steve Staios as general manager Sunday. Martin took over as interim coach about two weeks ago after D.J. Smith was fired.
Zack MacEwen and Mark Kastelic each had their first goal of the season and Dominik Kubalik, Jakob Chychrun and Artem Zub also scored to help Ottawa improve to 15-18-0. Thomas Chabot had two assists in his return after missing 12 games because of a leg injury.
Tage Thompson scored for Buffalo, and Devon Levi made 26 saves.The Sabres are 15-19-4.
Ottawa opened the scoring with Chychrun’s power-play goal at 6:51 of the first period. Chychrun one-timed it past Levi for his 200th career point. McEwen made it 2-0, and Thompson countered for Buffalo with 13 seconds remaining in the period.
Ottawa took a 3-1 lead seven minutes into the second when Ridly Greig deked past Rasmus Dahlin and dished a pass over to Kubalik, who got a piece of the bouncing puck. Kastelic scored with 15 seconds remaining in the period.
Zub had an empty-net goal in the third.
Ottawa also made Dave Poulin the senior vice-president of hockey operations and Ryan Bowness associate general manager. Bowness had been the general manager of the Senators’ AHL farm team, the Belleville Senators.

Sabres: At Montreal on Thursday night.
Senators: At Vancouver on Tuesday night.

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

Two-time Grand Slam champion Petra Kvitova started the new year by announcing she is expecting her first child.
"On the first day of 2024 I wanted to wish you a happy new year and share the exciting news that Jiri and I will be welcoming a baby into our family this summer!" the Czech player wrote on social media.
Kvitova married Jiri Vanek, her longtime coach, in July 2023.
The 33-year-old Kvitova, currently ranked 17th, won Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014.
Kvitova was included on the Australian Open entry list when the tournament released it in early December. It was not immediately known if her pregnancy news would change her plans for the first Grand Slam tournament of the year, which begins Jan. 14. | https://africa.espn.com/tennis/story/_/id/39219912/wimbledon-winner-petra-kvitova-pregnant-first-child | 2024-01-01T03:34:28Z |

Can Bangladesh put economy back on track in 2024?
Bangladesh perhaps has not bid farewell to a year on a weaker note like it is going to do today in recent memory.
When it welcomed 2023, most of the economic indicators were already smarting from the woes left behind by the coronavirus pandemic and global supply chain disruptions.
Inflation had surged to record levels, foreign currency reserves plunged, the taka dipped, exports were in the slow lane, remittance inflows did not live up to expectations, and the banking sector saw troubles – all combined together to bring about a major crisis for the economy.
The optimists might have thought that the economy had seen its worse, learnt its lesson and would make a fresh beginning in 2023. Unfortunately, that had not happened because of both external and internal factors, keeping the country on edge throughout the next 12 months.
Therefore, as 2023 comes to a close, the condition of almost all economic indicators has worsened.
Foreign currency reserves have more than halved compared to two years ago. Inflation had hovered around 9 percent. The taka has fallen further. Exports and remittance earnings have been disappointing. Imports fell but are still at a higher level. Non-performing loans at banks and irregularities remain unabated.
For the second year running, the stock market brought almost nothing for investors amid continuous fall in earnings of the listed companies owing to deepening economic and political uncertainty and the floor price.
The difficulty of making ends meet amid higher inflation and slower wage growth means low-income groups suffered a low-quality life for the second consecutive year in 2023.
But it was not all doom and gloom.
Although it unmasked the economy's cracks, completing the loan negotiating with the IMF and the subsequent release of two installments could be seen as a major achievement of the government as it would not only help the country manage the balance of payments crisis, the conditions would force the government to put in place some reforms that were long overdue.
When it comes to infrastructure development, 2023 was perhaps the best year for the country since several major projects were completed.
The long-awaited Dhaka Elevated Expressway opened to the public in September, serving as an alternative route to and from the airport road, one of the busiest in the capital city.
The 82-kilometre rail line from Dhaka to Bhanga via the Padma Bridge has opened a new horizon for cheaper rail connectivity in the southwestern region.
The country's first tunnel, named after Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, built under the Karnaphuli river opened in October while the new terminal at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport and Cox's Bazar rail station could accelerate connectivity.
But those milestones, which are expected to give a much-needed fillip to the bruised economy, were dwarfed by the widening cracks in the economy and the outlook remains deeply uncertain.
In order to restore macroeconomic stability, some policy measures were taken from the middle of the year, largely because of the International Monetary Fund's conditions tagged with its $4.7 billion loan, although local experts and think-tanks have long called for identical moves for years.
In a major move, the central bank has withdrawn the interest rate cap on loans. However, it remains to be seen whether the new reference rate used to fix the interests of loans will live up to the expectations since the rate-setting is determined by treasury bills, meaning it might not be fully market-based.
The central bank said it has stopped printing money to keep the government operational. It has also tightened rules to limit imports and protect the reserves.
The policy rate has been increased multiple times to lift it to a record level with a view to countering the escalated inflation but the interest-rate cap made the monetary policy tool ineffective.
The adoption of a unified exchange rate has been welcomed but the IMF has stressed that a gradual transition to a more flexible regime is needed to enhance the economy's resilience to external shocks.
Md Zaved Akhtar, chairman and managing director of Unilever Bangladesh Ltd, said businesses and policymakers had collectively missed the opportunity to put in place fundamental corrections like market-based foreign exchange rates, good governance in building strong financial institutions, and prudence in financial account management during peacetime, "making us vulnerable during the current volatile economic period."
"As we move into 2024, we need to review our actions as businesses and policymakers. We will require a different playbook to address some of the fundamental headwinds."
Policymakers might have hoped that the troubles at home would be resolved once the external factors responsible for the crisis in Bangladesh go away.
But Zahid Hussain, a former lead economist of the World Bank Bangladesh, says: "This assumption did not serve us well in 2023. The time is ripe to own up to the weaknesses of our unorthodox policy models and frameworks."
He said one hopes the long overdue policy corrections will not procrastinate on the assumption that the global headwinds will fade sooner than later.
In fact, 2024 could see significant political upheaval and economic instability globally.
As countries representing 60 percent of the global GDP head to the polls, governments, businesses, and households are adopting a widespread 'wait-and-see' attitude that will likely delay critical economic decisions, according to the Economic Outlook 2023-25 of Allianz Research.
It warns that such uncertainty could act as a negative supply shock, potentially raising prices and curtailing output, investment and consumption.
Global growth is set to remain modest, with the impact of the necessary monetary policy tightening, weak trade and lower business and consumer confidence being increasingly felt, said the OECD's latest Economic Outlook.
The US is on course for a 'soft landing,' despite facing economic headwinds. Conversely, the eurozone is grappling with near-zero growth and is forecast to dip briefly into a technical recession.
If the two regions, home to about 60 percent of Bangladesh's total exports and 80 percent of garment shipment, face volatility, the country's export sector would continue to be under strain.
Birupaksha Paul, a professor of economics at the State University of New York at Cortland, blamed the lack of knowledge-based leadership at financial institutions for the delayed response to the current shocks.
He said the interest-rate cap was justified by policymakers whereas other economies kept on raising policy rates to combat inflation. And they, including the neighbouring economies, were successful in reducing inflation and avoiding the dollar crisis, but Bangladesh failed in both.
Another area of policy tardiness happened in the exchange rate, which kept the dollar's value artificially much lower than required, worsening both the current account and eventually the forex reserves, according to Prof Paul, also a former chief economist of the Bangladesh Bank.
"Further reserve depletion and moderately high inflation will keep on harming the economy if the government does not ensure knowledge-based leadership at financial institutions and make both interest and exchange rates soundly market-based."
Rizwanul Islam, a former special adviser to the employment sector at the International Labour Office in Geneva, said the new year would provide the policymakers an opportunity to make a new beginning. But that opportunity will have to be used quickly and effectively if further deterioration of the economic condition is to be avoided.
He thinks the first task would be to fix the macroeconomic imbalances that have been acting as a brake on the economy for more than a year now.
In the outgoing year, Bangladesh could not bring down inflation whereas it has come under control in most countries. The country's failure to discipline the vested quarters behind the commodity market volatility was visible.
To fight inflation, the economist says, action will be needed on multiple fronts.
If the interest rate is raised, its impact is likely to come with a time lag. During the interim period, supply-side interventions will be needed, especially for items that are sensitive to price fluctuations.
"Advance estimation of import requirements and better planning and implementation of imports are essential. Measures should be undertaken to protect the poor from the adverse effects of inflation," Islam said.
Since the economy does not show any signs of an immediate return to the pre-crisis level, much of the uncertainty that haunted people and businesses over the year might not go away. So, the question arises whether people, businesses and the economy will be able to keep their head above water in 2024 if real changes take longer than they should. | https://www.thedailystar.net/business/economy/news/can-bangladesh-put-economy-back-track-2024-3506711 | 2024-01-01T03:34:31Z |
Here’s what Chiefs’ L’Jarius Sneed, Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase said about each other Sunday
As Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L’Jaruis Sneed spoke to reporters at his corner locker on Sunday evening, some teammates nearby gave him good-natured grief.
“You’re no Jalen Ramsey,” came the barbs. And the laughter.
Even Sneed smiled. He and the Chiefs’ secondary had been the target of trash-talking by Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase in the days leading up to Sunday’s AFC showdown between teams that met in the previous two AFC Championship Games — both here at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
Chase was asked this past week what impressed him about the Chiefs’ defense. “If I’m being honest, nothing,” he said.
Also, he identified Sneed as the Chiefs’ top defensive back but said he was no Jalen Ramsey, the three-time All-Pro corner who now plays for the Miami Dolphins.
No All-Pro selections for Sneed yet, but he’s a candidate this season for games like Sunday’s. He drew the primary assignment on Chase, and they battled — and talked — throughout the Chiefs’ 25-17 triumph.
“We had some words during the game,” Sneed said. “But, you know, check the stats.”
Chase finished with three receptions in seven targets for 41 yards and was kept out of the end zone. He drew a pass-interference penalty against Sneed, and Bengals quarterback Jake Browning went over the top for an early 24-yard completion.
Sneed’s biggest victory was a pass intended for Chase that he batted away at the sideline.
At one point, the feisty battle continued after a play, and off-setting penalties were called. Here’s Chase’s side of the story:
“(He) wouldn’t fight me, so that’s all right,” Chase said. “Just trash-talking. (Sneed) can’t handle it ... I started it off. The whole defense was mad at me. It started at the beginning of the game. It’s just what I like to do.”
So Chase talks smack during the week, has a mediocre at best game, then clowns on Sneed for having the discipline to not fight during the game?? (because they’d have gotten thrown out) This is a WEIRD mindset to have and I don’t understand it one bit. It’s the NFL not street ball https://t.co/W4emen2DZB
— Mitchell Schwartz (@MitchSchwartz71) January 1, 2024
Both players entered the game with a “questionable” designation due to injuries. Sneed hurt his calf in last week’s loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Chase had a shoulder injury and had missed last week’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But both said they weren’t going to miss a game that was critical to each team. With the victory, the Chiefs clinched their eighth straight AFC West title. The loss eliminated the Bengals from the postseason.
The Chiefs’ defense, a strength all season, had its troubles early. The Bengals scored on their first three possessions to open a 17-7 lead.
But Cincinnati, on its final seven possessions, wouldn’t score again, and the Chiefs turned the game with their defense. The first big moment came on the Bengals’ first possession of the third quarter. They drove to the 6 and faced a fourth-and-1.
The handoff went to Joe Mixon, and linebacker Willie Gay stuffed it for a 3-yard loss.
“I put my invisible suit on and ran through that thing, unblocked” Gay said. “I was thankful to be there and make the play.”
The next line in the sand wasn’t drawn on one particular play, but rather a series. The Chiefs led 25-17 when the Bengals took over for a final possession. The Chiefs collected four sacks in five snaps on that drive — two by safety Justin Reid, and one each for George Karlaftis and Chris Jones.
“Guys saw the opportunity to seize the moment,” Jones said. “We got after it. We saw it as our opportunity to close the game.”
The final statement belonged to the Chiefs. | https://ca.news.yahoo.com/chiefs-l-jarius-sneed-bengals-025825389.html | 2024-01-01T03:34:32Z |
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 defense 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.
In his New Year’s Day address Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he will strengthen his military's preemptive strike, missile defense and retaliatory capabilities in response to the North Korean nuclear threat.
“The Republic of Korea is building genuine, lasting peace through strength, not a submissive peace that is dependent on the goodwill of the adversary,” Yoon said, using South Korea's official name.
At the party meeting, Kim called South Korea “a hemiplegic malformation and colonial subordinate state” whose society is “tainted by Yankee culture.” He said his military must use all available means including nuclear weapons to “suppress the whole territory of South Korea” in the event of a conflict.
South Korea’s Defense Ministry warned in response that if North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, South Korean and U.S. forces will punish it overwhelmingly, resulting in the end of the Kim government.
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.
Kim has since sought to modernize his weapons arsenal and strengthen North Korea's relationships with China and Russia. KCNA said Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged New Year's Day messages on Monday on bolstering bilateral ties.
North Korea faces suspicions that it has supplied conventional arms for Russia's war in Ukraine in return for sophisticated Russian technologies to enhance the North's military programs.
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.

Calvin de Haan ends 46-game goal drought with tiebreaking score as Lightning top Canadiens 4-3
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Calvin de Haan ended his 46-game goal drought with the tiebreaking score in the third period, and the Tampa Bay Lightning rallied past the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 on Sunday night.
The defenseman put Tampa Bay up 3-2 with a shot from the left circle at 7:49 off a pass from Nikita Kucherov, who became the first NHL player to reach 60 points this season.
Kucherov added an insurance goal before Nick Suzuki pulled Montreal to 4-3 with 2:05 left.
Tampa Bay backup Jonas Johansson made 27 saves in his first game since Dec. 7. The Lightning got also goals from Brayden Point and Austin Watson.
Lightning captain Steven Stamkos had an assist and set a franchise record by playing in his 1,038th game.
Johnathan Kovacevic scored from his own defensive zone and Cole Caufield had the other Montreal goal. Sam Montembeault stopped 16 shots.
Montembeault gloved a blue-line shot by Darren Raddysh. After holding the puck for a few seconds with no whistle from the referees, the goalie dropped the puck to Kovacevic. The defenseman took a couple of strides forward and, seeing that most players thought play was stopped, including Johansson, who had skated into the corner, fired home a long-distance shot into the vacated net to make it 2-0 at 11:59 of the second.
Point and Watson scored later in the period to tie it at 2. Watson, playing in his 500th game, sent a bouncing shot from along the left-wing boards that eluded Montembeault.
Caufield opened the scoring 3:58 into the second after he stole the puck from Stamkos deep in the Tampa Bay zone.
Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak left after taking a hard check behind the Tampa Bay net from Josh Anderson nine seconds after Caufield’s goal. Anderson was assessed a charging penalty.
Tampa Bay defenseman Haydn Fleury also left in the second after taking a shot off his right hand. Lightning forward Nicholas Paul skated off gingerly after being hit in the right knee by Stamkos’ shot in the third.
Montreal center Christian Dvorak sat out with an upper-body injury.

Cambridge Spring, Pa (WJET/WFXP/YourErie.com)– Some 300 national guardsmen were sent off by loved ones Sunday morning.
The Cambridge Springs-based Second Batallion, 112th infantry was called for deployment to Africa for nine months earlier this year.
Family and friends shared embraces with their loved ones as they hoped to pause time in that moment, taking it in.
Some 300 local members of the National Guard have been preparing to set off for deployment in Africa where they will tackle security objectives throughout the region. But they haven’t been the only ones preparing for the day.
“I guess I didn’t give it as much thought on my way out here, and it kind of hit me when I got here. I, all of the sudden, became emotional and said ‘wow my son’s really going away,'” said Lisa Orlando, National Guardsman mother.
It’s a sentiment hundreds of other parents at the armory in Cambridge Springs felt as well. One mother knows her son will benefit from experiencing new places and things in the world, but can’t help but feel anxious.
“As a mom, it’s emotional. Especially because it’s my youngest son. You hate to see that he’s going to be gone for nine months,” said Sarah Gowen, National Guardsman mother.
The captain of these young men and women being deployed truly are the best of the best and the training they’ve been through has prepared them for this day.
“It was really focused on what we’re going to be doing in Africa, which is security force operations. I’m very lucky to have prepared these soldiers. These individuals are probably the best this battalion has. Individually, they’re prepared. They’re very good at what they do and I think we’re pretty excited for this,” said Nathan Giroux, Captain of the 2nd battalion, 112th infantry.
Some of the guardsmen taking after others in their family and serving our country.
“I’ve been through this in the 60s and I never had to leave Erie, PA so I was lucky. I hope he makes it back safe and sound,” said Tony Orlando, National Guardsman family member.
Other parents gave their final words of advice before they said goodbye.
“Take it all in. Learn from it,” said Tony Gowen, National Guardsman father. “I’m expecting him to come back a changed man, honestly.” | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/family-friends-say-goodbye-as-cambridge-springs-national-guard-departs/ | 2024-01-01T03:34:34Z |

Will Chiefs sit starters with playoffs seed secured? One player says he’d prefer that
The Kansas City Chiefs — with Sunday’s 25-17 home victory over the Cincinnati Bengals — earned their starters a week off.
That is, if KC coach Andy Reid decides to go in that direction.
Kansas City’s win, combined with Buffalo’s triumph over New England on Sunday, means the Chiefs will be the AFC’s No. 3 seed in the upcoming NFL playoffs.
So, Reid was asked, will he be resting his starters during next weekend’s game at the Los Angeles Chargers?
“I haven’t gotten there yet,” he said.
If history is any indication, the answer will likely be “Yes.”
In past instances when the Chiefs had nothing to play for in the season’s final week, Reid has kept his main guys out. The last instance was in the 2020 season, when KC went with its backups in a 38-21 loss to the Chargers after clinching the No. 1 seed with a 14-1 record.
Another instance should be familiar as well. Mahomes led KC to a 27-24 win at Denver in his first NFL start during the 2017 regular-season finale, as the Chiefs had already secured the No. 4 seed with QB Alex Smith.
Mahomes, for his part, said he would defer to Reid regarding whether he played in next week’s game against the Chargers.
“If he wants us to get out there and build off this momentum that we have, I’ll be ready to go,” Mahomes said. “And if he wants to give us some rest, then I’ll get that rest, prepare for whoever we’re going to play, and be ready to go in the playoffs.”
Defensive end Chris Jones, meanwhile, would appear to have conflicting emotions regarding a start-or-sit decision. Jones’ contract requires a $1.25 million bonus if he reaches 10 regular-season sacks; after Sunday’s game, his total sits at 9 1/2.
So what’s his preference? After starting with a joke about getting himself in there, Jones was honest when he said he’d prefer time off his feet.
“If Coach Reid decides to rest us, I’ll more than likely take the rest. I can use a week off,” Jones said. “I feel a few nicks and bruises. And I’m quite sure our team could use it.”
The Chiefs being worn down would make sense, given this recent stretch.
KC has played at a rest disadvantage for each of its last six games — something no team had over the previous 35 seasons in the NFL — and it saw its injury list grow to 13 players ahead of this week’s game.
The Chiefs’ opening playoff opponent will depend on Week 18 results. The most likely scenario is KC hosting the Miami Dolphins, who have a 46% chance of earning the AFC’s No. 6 seed according to the New York Times’ playoffs simulator.
And this is a simple fact to remember: If the Dolphins lose their Week 18 home game to the Buffalo Bills, they will earn the 6 seed and come to KC for the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
So why is KC locked into the 3 seed, regardless of next week’s result? Here’s a quick rundown, with the Chiefs at 10-6 unable to catch Baltimore’s 12-3 record:
• If Miami beats Buffalo next week, that would clinch the AFC East and a better record for the Dolphins (12-5) than the Chiefs could have;
• If Buffalo beats Miami next week, it would finish at 11-6 and win the AFC East, earning the 2 seed over KC because of a head-to-head tiebreaker;
• If the Jaguars, Texans or Colts win the AFC South with an at-best 10-7 record to tie the Chiefs, each would lose the tiebreaker against KC to remain the 4 seed. Jacksonville lost a head-to-head matchup to KC, while Houston (conference record) and Indianapolis (common opponents) would be worse in subsequent tiebreakers.
KC’s perfect seed knowledge could help in other ways, too. This week, for instance, could be utilized for big-picture preparation rather than one-week game-planning. Practices could be altered as well, with a focus on recovery.
And Jones, for one, said he wouldn’t be disappointed with that outcome.
“If Coach Reid will let us get this week off,” he said with a smile, “that’d be remarkable.” | https://ca.news.yahoo.com/chiefs-sit-starters-playoffs-seed-030122708.html | 2024-01-01T03:34:39Z |
Corn import to fall as dollar shortage persists
Bangladesh's corn import may plunge in the marketing year (MY) 2023-24 beginning from May owing to reduced requirement of feed in poultry, aqua and other farms, and difficulties faced by millers in importing goods amid the ongoing forex shortage in the country, according to a recent report by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Corn import may decline 41 percent year-on-year to 12 lakh tonnes in MY24, it said in its grain and feed update on Bangladesh, issued recently.
"This adjustment considers the current economic slowdown in the country and the uneven performance of the feed industry," said the USDA report.
Citing industry contacts, it said Bangladesh imported 4 lakh tonnes of corn in the first seven months of MY24. It added that many medium and small mills are grappling with shortage of key feed ingredients, corn and soybean meal, as they face challenges in opening letters of credit as a result of shortage of dollars.
Large mills also face difficulties in LC opening, said the USDA.
Despite the decline in imports, local production of corn or maize is forecasted to increase 7 percent to 52 lakh tonnes in MY24 from 48.5 lakh tonnes the previous year.
The report said corn, the second-largest cereal crop in Bangladesh which is grown by farmers as a cash crop, is a major ingredient for feed mills, which consume 70-75 lakh tonnes of the grain to make feed for poultry, fish and dairy farms.
So, given the USDA's projection regarding local production, increased local production will meet the demand for feed, consumption of which may fall to 7.6 percent year-on-year to 60 lakh tonnes for the current MY, ending in April 2024, according to the report.
"The high prices of poultry, aqua, and cattle feed have reduced their demand at the farm level," said the agency in its report, adding that all types of feed prices increased by about Tk 6,000 per tonne from October to November 2023.
In the second week of December, the average price of poultry feed reached Tk 66,000 per tonne, up 20 percent compared to the same period last year.
Similarly, the average price of aqua feed in December 2023 reached Tk 85,000 per tonnes, 25 percent higher than last year, according to the USDA.
"Many small and medium poultry and cattle farms have shut down their production due to the higher feed prices," it said.
Citing the Feed Industry Association Bangladesh (FIAB) and Bangladesh Poultry Industries Central Council (BPICC), the report said FIAB and BPICC contacts highlighted that the elevated prices of key feed ingredients contributed to the overall increase in feed prices.
"They also mentioned facing challenges in opening LCs for importing corn and soybean meal. Additionally, locally crushed soybean meal prices have reached a record high since August of this year. Collectively, these factors contribute to the high cost of feed production." | https://www.thedailystar.net/business/economy/news/corn-import-fall-dollar-shortage-persists-3506671 | 2024-01-01T03:34:38Z |
Celtics extend winning streak to 6 games with a 134-101 rout of the Spurs
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Jayson Tatum scored 25 points, Jaylen Brown added 24 and the Boston Celtics extended their winning streak to six games with a 134-101 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night.
Derrick White scored 17 points against his former team, and Kristaps Porzingis added 14 points and nine rebounds in his return after missing one game due to a calf injury.
“We got stops,” Boston coach joe Mazzulla said. “I thought we were really good at doing both, protecting the paint and getting out to contest, which allowed us to get out in transition. I think our secondary transition, we did a good job of recognizing where the mismatch was and getting to it fast and playing together as a team through it.”
Devin Vassell scored 22 points and Victor Wembanyama had 21 points and seven rebounds for San Antonio. The Spurs have lost seven of eight.
“They are a championship-caliber team, that’s what they are out there for, that’s their goal, and they proved it once again,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. “Joe does a great job with them. They’ve got good talent, obviously, all-star talent; and they’ve got the grit. They’ve got the execution and getting better all the time. That’s a tough challenge at this particular time for our group.”
Boston closed out the month of December with a 12-2 record.
The matchup between the top team in the Eastern Conference and the last-place team in the West played out as expected.
“I can feel that compared to the past years, they have something extra this year,” Wembanyama said. “And, of course, it’s difficult to play against them and it is a good challenge. But I think we learned today.”
Boston led by as many as 37 points and sat its starters for most of the fourth quarter.
San Antonio never led while trailing by 35 points or more in a game for the sixth time this season.
Zach Collins sat out with a sprained ankle and lower back spasms kept Keldon Johnson out of the game. The Spurs’ offense struggled without the duo.
Wembanyama and Vassell scored San Antonio’s first 17 points. The pair combined to shoot 5 for 20 from the field in the opening quarter. The rest of the Spurs went 2 for 14. San Antonio finished 12 for 44 from 3-point range.
Wembanyama provided some of the few highlights for Spurs fans. The 7-foot-3 rookie followed up a reverse slam off an alley-oop pass from Tre Jones with a 3-pointer that cut Boston’s lead to 38-29 in the second quarter.
Wembanyama also took off from the free throw line while holding the ball over his head for a one-handed dunk against White.
“I’m not an idiot,” White said, chuckling afterwards. “I was hoping he would take another dribble, and then I could try to do that (strip or steal), but he picked it up and I never saw it again. So, I was just trying to get out of the way. That was crazy.”
Boston limited San Antonio to one offensive rebound in the first half, and held a 23-14 advantage in total rebounds.
The Celtics had six players score in double figures.
Spurs second-year player Malaki Branham (11 points) was the only player, aside from Wembanyama and Vassell, to score in double figures.

China's Xi, US President Biden exchange congratulations on 45th year of diplomatic ties
BEIJING (Reuters) - China's President Xi Jinping exchanged congratulations with U.S. President Joe Biden on the 45th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries, the official Xinhua news agency said on Monday.
Xi also exchanged New Year's messages with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un, and both announced 2024 to be a "friendship year" for both countries, launching a series of activities for that, Xinhua said separately.
On New Year's Eve, the Chinese leader exchanged New Year's greetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin as well. This year is the 75th anniversary of China and Russia establishing diplomatic relations.
Xi said China and Russia should "continuously consolidate" and develop ties "featuring permanent good-neighbourly friendship", along with comprehensive strategic coordination and mutually beneficial cooperation that would serve both countries' interests.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China by Mao Zedong, who defeated Republic of China forces led by Chiang Kai-shek in a bloody civil war.
Mao declared the People's Republic of China on Oct. 1, 1949, while Chiang's government fled into exile in Taiwan in December of that year. No peace treaty has ever been signed to end the war and the Republic of China remains Taiwan's formal name.
Xi in his New Year's address on Sunday said China's "reunification" with Taiwan is inevitable, striking a stronger tone than he did a year earlier with less than two weeks to go before the democratically governed island elects a new leader. | https://ca.news.yahoo.com/chinas-xi-us-president-biden-032425674.html | 2024-01-01T03:34:45Z |

Chargers’ Khalil Mack gets milestone 100th career sack in LA’s 16-9 loss to Broncos
DENVER (AP) — Khalil Mack desperately wanted a win for the Los Angeles Chargers in the midst of a disappointing season. He had to settle for a milestone sack instead during Sunday’s 16-9 loss to the Denver Broncos. Mack got the 100th sack in his 10-year career with a signature bull rush that pushed guard Ben Powers right into Jarrett Stidham, toppling the Broncos quarterback on a 3rd-and-20 play early in the second quarter. Mack was greeted with hugs and pats on his helmet by his teammates and coaches when he returned to the sideline after his career-high 16th sack of the season.

Food wasn't in short supply. But many struggled to feed families
As dawn broke yesterday, Achhia Begum prepared again for her daily battle to buy essential goods at subsidised prices in order to save a few bucks and bear other family expenses.
She walked for about ten minutes in the bitter cold to reach the nearby Shialbari intersection in the capital's Mirpur area, where the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) sells rice and flour at subsidised rates under its Open Market Sales (OMS) programme.
Suffering from complications related to her advanced age, she cut a frail figure as she tried to walk faster than usual, apprehensive that the line would be too long and goods would be sold out before her turn.
"It was quite cold in the morning. I arrived at the spot at about 7:00am. Nobody would stand in the queue so early on a cold morning if they were not in financial trouble," the 75-year-old told The Daily Star yesterday.
For her efforts, Begum was rewarded with the 33rd position in the queue. Over the next 10 minutes, the line grew to at least 80 people.
Finally, after waiting in line for around three hours, she managed to buy products from the mobile shop.
This has become a common scene in Dhaka despite the fact that Bangladesh has produced increased quantities of rice in the last three crops season.
It is a testament to the struggle that hundreds of people, especially in urban areas, have faced in order to secure food for their families, with prices of essentials and costs of living spiraling beyond their means.
According to analysts, people from low and fixed-income groups experienced food insecurity due to a lack of access to food grains. They also blamed weak market mechanisms.
About 24 percent of Bangladesh's population was food-insecure, a trend observed to be increasing since May this year, according to the latest World Food Programme (WFP) survey report in August 2023.
The WFP survey revealed that 47 percent of the food-insecure were in low-income households, nine percent in medium-income households, and less than three percent in high-income households.
A report by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) stated that about 1.19 crore people in Bangladesh experienced high levels of acute food insecurity from May to September this year despite record cereal harvests in 2022 and 2023.
The increase in food insecurity comes despite the fact that cereal production in the country, including paddy, stood at a four-year average of 6.09 crore tonnes between 2018-2022. In 2023, the total paddy production is forecast at a record 5.9 crore tonnes.
"Production is not a problem for Bangladesh. The country's weak link lies in agriculture marketing," said M Asaduzzaman, former research director of the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS).
By the time the product reaches the consumers from the growers, its price increases manifold, he said.
"Everyone knows the problem. But nobody cares about it," he said.
Asaduzzaman also blamed the lack of available market data on supply and demand trends. "The agricultural marketing department should play a key role in this regard by analysing data of production and market demands," he said.
People's real income is eroding and their purchasing power has been reduced due to global economic downturn stemming from the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, compounding inflationary pressures on low-and-fixed income groups.
In this situation, there is no alternative to taking stern action against market manipulators as well as to ensure domestic market management, he said.
He believed political will was crucial to stabilising the market.
The state-run OMS programme is aimed at cushioning the blow of rising food prices for low-income people.
The food ministry runs 964 OMS shops across the country, including 110 places in the capital. All of them sell rice and flour for around half the price that consumers would pay at a grocery store or kitchen market.
Like Begum, Tanzila Akhter, a resident of the capital's Lalbagh area, left home for the OMS truck near Agrani School and College in Azimpur around 9:00am.
The 27-year-old travelled to the spot on foot with her nine-month-old baby but by the time she reached, she found 43 people queued up in front of her.
"It is very difficult to stand in a queue with small children on cold mornings, but I am compelled to buy products from OMS shops as food costs have increased," said Akhter.
Prof Emeritus Abdus Sattar Mandal, former vice-chancellor of Bangladesh Agricultural University, believed those such as Tanzila and Begum would have to continue to struggle.
"Due to ongoing inflation, pressure has been created on low-and-fixed income people. But I don't think the pressure will subside anytime soon," he opined.
"Although we are talking about food inflation, we have also witnessed higher non-food inflation, such as for agricultural inputs like chemicals, seeds, and diesel," he said, adding that it had a natural impact on overall price.
He urged the government to hike the pay scale and adjust wages so people can cope with inflationary pressure. Mandal also underscored the need for stronger governance in the market.
Barring major natural calamities like floods, there is no possibility of a lack of food availability in Bangladesh, said Binayak Sen, director general of the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS).
There are many reasons for supply-chain disruption in the market, including trade policy, but sometimes any product shortage causes a panic or fury among consumers.
So, the government should remain alert when a product's price suddenly becomes unstable as well as strengthen the market monitoring system, said Sen.
In that case, if any untoward situation arises in the kitchen market, the government could preemptively supplement supply shortages through imports. | https://www.thedailystar.net/business/economy/news/food-wasnt-short-supply-many-struggled-feed-families-3507506 | 2024-01-01T03:34:46Z |

Colorado Springs mother accused of killing 2 of her children arrested in United Kingdom
A Colorado mother sought by police in connection with the killings of two of her three children was arrested Saturday in the United Kington, the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a statement.
Kimberlee Singler, 35, is accused of killing her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son and wounding her 11-year-old daughter. Police did not immediately provide details of the overseas arrest.
Police on Dec. 19 responded to a burglary call at Singler's home. When they arrived, they found Singler and her 11-year-old daughter injured, and her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son dead. Police later said the burglary report turned out to be unfounded.
Singler initially cooperated with police but disappeared during the investigation, Colorado Springs police said in a statement.
Considered a witness and a victim at the time, police allowed Singler to leave the hospital as there was not enough probable cause to suggest she was connected to her children's deaths, police said. Police obtained an arrest warrant Tuesday on charges of murder and attempted murder but were unable to immediately arrest Singler.
Police did not say how the children were killed or describe Singler's and her surviving daughter's injuries.
Singler faces multiple first-degree murder charges, as well as charges of child abuse, attempted first-degree murder and assault, police said in a statement.

Gilgeous-Alexander scores 24, Thunder beat Nets 124-108, extend winning streak to 4 games
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 24 points and six assists and the Oklahoma City Thunder won their fourth straight game, beating the Brooklyn Nets 124-108 on Sunday night.
Josh Giddey had 20 points, six rebounds and five assists, and rookie Chet Holmgren added 18 points, 10 rebounds and two blocked shots for Oklahoma City, which improved to 22-9, good for second place in the Western Conference.
The Thunder have hosted a New Year’s Eve game every year since the franchise moved to town and have a 12-4 record in those games. Brooklyn is 2-8 all-time on New Year’s Eve.
Holmgren and Jalen Williams, who scored 17 points, scored all of the Thunder’s points in a 16-8 run that extended Oklahoma City’s lead from seven points to 102-87 with 8:49 left. Brooklyn got no closer than 12 points the rest of the way and Oklahoma City eventually led by as many as 21 points.
Mikal Bridges had 22 points – 15 in the first quarter – to go with seven rebounds and seven assists for Brooklyn, which has lost three straight games. Cam Thomas had 20 points and Nic Claxton had 15 points, 16 rebounds and five assists. The Nets, who have lost four straight games against Oklahoma City, are 1-16 this season when allowing an opponent 120 or more points.
Oklahoma City shot 54.2% from the field (45 of 83), while Brooklyn shot just 38% (38 of 100).
Brooklyn made its first five shots (three of them 3-pointers) and built a 10-point first-quarter lead at 18-8, but the Thunder shot 54.6% in the half and eventually led 59-56 at halftime.
The Nets were within 67-65 before Giddey fueled an 11-2 spurt by Oklahoma City, making two baskets before feeding Gilgeous-Alexander on a fast-break layup that made it 78-67 with 5:37 left in the third quarter. That caused Brooklyn coach Jacque Vaughn to call his second timeout in a 99-second span.
A 3-pointer by Holmgren in the final seconds of the quarter put Oklahoma City ahead 89-79 and started the Thunder’s game-clinching run.

Garment exports to face rocky recovery in 2024
Garment exports from Bangladesh may witness moderate growth of between 7 and 10 percent in 2024 after struggling to perform strongly in the outgoing year due to a global economic slowdown.
In January-November of the outgoing year, garment shipments from the country grew 4.35 percent year-on-year to $42.83 billion, which is an unusually low rate.
Bangladesh's garment sector has been maintaining 10 percent growth over the last decade, barring the Covid-19 period, and the sector has become a nearly $50 billion export market, accounting for nearly 8 percent of the $700 billion global market.
However, with historic inflation in major markets such as European countries and the US, garment shipments from Bangladesh experienced a lull in 2023.
Still, local exporters are expecting moderate growth in 2024 as the US, Bangladesh's single largest export destination, has already paused its high interest rate in the last quarter.
Furthermore, it is expected that the Federal Reserve will reduce the interest rate in the next quarter, which will drive up consumer spending on luxury items like high-end garment items.
Moreover, old inventories in stores of American and European clothing retailers and brands have waned due to sales during festival seasons such as during Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Boxing Day and Christmas.
So, demand for garment items from countries like Bangladesh is expected to grow.
"I will not say the outgoing year was a bad one if I compare with other countries and account for the tight global economic situation," said Faruque Hassan, president of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association.
In 2022, the global export market for garment items was worth $576 billion, shrinking from more than $700 billion. Hassan said that it was expected that the amount would be even lower at the end of 2023.
Despite that downturn, garment shipments to the European Union (EU) grew by 2.28 percent in January-November of the outgoing year compared to the corresponding period of 2022. However, shipments to the US declined by 9 percent over the same period.
In most cases, China lost its market share and Bangladesh gained despite the overall downturn.
For instance, Bangladesh became the foremost knitwear exporter to the EU, overtaking China in both value and volume.
Bangladesh had earlier topped China in terms of its volume of exports to the EU and is already the number one exporter of diversified denim items to the trading bloc.
However, the outgoing year presented one of the toughest challenges for the garment sector because of labour unrest relating to a wage hike from September to the first week of December.
That came at a time when the sector was already contending with challenges stemming from the severe fallouts of Covid-19 and Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The significant depreciation of the local currency, taka, against the US dollar gave the garment industry a sigh of relief. But that relief did not last for long given the rising cost of production and labour unrest, which contributed to lower production.
Inadequate gas and power supply to the primary textile sector and garment industries was another problem in the outgoing year even though energy prices were hiked by nearly 100 percent in February.
The next year will be significant for business because Bangladesh will have a new government with a new vision and there will be a lot of changes and challenges to overcome globally.
The garment exporters are also expecting some new facilities from the government that will enable them to be more competitive globally.
With heavy investment in green growth as per demand from western consumers, Bangladesh is now the global champion in green garment factories with more than 206 units in the country.
"I believe Bangladesh will export $100 billion worth of garment items by 2030 as we have diversified both garment items like manmade fibre and markets like Asian economic giants India, Japan and South Korea," Hassan told The Daily Star over phone.
He urged for adequate gas and power supply and to ensure ease of doing business by removing cumbersome processes in customs, bonds and ports while also reducing bureaucracy. | https://www.thedailystar.net/business/economy/news/garment-exports-face-rocky-recovery-2024-3506681 | 2024-01-01T03:34:53Z |

#1 Michigan Wolverines (13-0 Big Ten)
How They Got Here
The Crimson Tide won the SEC championship by beating the Georgia Bulldogs by 3 points in their conference title game. The Crimson Tide has taken the SEC title from the best team in college this year. Everyone thought the Florida State would play in this game, but the powers that be selected Alabama and turned the college football world on its head. I shared that the college football playoff system should be renamed to the “Alabama Invitational”. The Michigan Wolverines have had their share of controversy this season as well. Head coach Jim Harbaugh has been suspended for 5 games because of the signal stealing allegations and his team kept on rolling this season. The winner of this game should walk away with the national championship this season.
#4 Alabama Crimson Tide
The Crimson Tide is considered one of the top college football programs for the past 10 years. They have been in the title game 6 times with 4 wins during that span. The Tide this season is led by quarterback Jalen Milroe. He has passed for 2718 yards with 23 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. Milroe has 7 rushing touchdowns this season. He’s dangerous when he breaks the line of scrimmage and scrambles for positive gains, first downs and TDs. Michigan’s defense struggles with dual threat quarterbacks. He will be the x-factor for the Crimson Tide. Players to watch: RB Jase McClellan, WR Jermaine Burton, DB Caleb Downs and DB Terrion Arnold.
#1 Michigan Wolverines
The Wolverines are coming off a huge win over Iowa for the Big 10 championship. The blew out the Hawkeyes 26-0. Michigan will need to play under control if they want to win this semifinal game. The offense is led by junior J.J. McCarthy. He has passed for 2630 yards with 19 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. He will need to play outside of himself because of the physical style of the Crimson Tide defensive front. He will need to get the ball into the hands of his play makers. The x-factor for a win will be placed into the hands of running back Blake Corum. He has 1028 yards on the ground with 24 touchdowns. The Wolverines will need to establish the run early and often.

The Carolina Panthers have had a terrible, terrible season from hell, and it only hit a new low on Sunday.
Scoring zero points in a 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars — who were starting backup quarterback C.J. Beathard — as Bryce Young’s brutal rookie season comes to a near-close wasn’t even the worst part of the day.
Averaging 2.3 yards per play and not crossing 100 total yards until the fourth quarter wasn’t the lowest point of the day for the Panthers.
No, in a moment of what can (at best) be described as a brief loss of control, Panthers team owner David Tepper appeared to throw a drink at an unruly Jaguars fan who was in front of him toward the end of the game. Tepper's Panthers have been unequivocally the worst team in the league this year, but there is simply no excuse for this behavior in the middle of tough times — particularly from his perch as the owner of a NFL team.
"We are aware of the video and have no further comment at this time," the NFL said in a statement, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. The Panthers themselves, meanwhile, still haven't commented.
This is just flat-out a rotten way to behave. Fights have been ignited over throwing drinks on people. It’s one of the most disrespectful, non-physical things a human can do to another human. Alcohol with backwash all over a t-shirt or an expensive jersey ain’t cool, man. Especially amid the power dynamics of Tepper not just being a team owner, but one of the singularly richest people in the entire world.
Tepper might as well be an anonymous person on the internet in that scenario. He’s completely untouchable as a person of his financial and social stature. He would never suffer a real punishment for behaving in this fashion because there is nothing that the person who got the drink poured on him can do. It’s an abuse of power as much as it is just a lame thing to do.
To take it a step further, if this is how Tepper is acting in public, it's easy to see why the Panthers have had so many head coaches in the brief time that Tepper has owned the team. It was an illogical, rushed, emotional response that puts him and his decision making under further scrutiny and gives partial context as to why the Panthers have been so dysfunctional over the past few years. A rotating door of head coaches and their interim replacements, musical chairs at quarterback, trading up for Young when the roster clearly wasn't ready to support a rookie quarterback — and now, this unruly moment that has been caught on camera.
Panthers fans are already (kind of) joking about whether or not this moment can be used to strip Tepper of his ownership. That isn’t going to happen. It takes a lot more than that for someone to lose their team, but it does paint the picture of where this team is.
The Panthers are just 31-67 since Tepper took over in 2018 and he’s about to hire his third full-time head coach in that timespan with a roster that doesn’t appear anywhere close to competing, even in the dismal NFC South.
At some point Tepper is going to have to stumble into success by mistake, even with his rash and hasty decision-making.
The part here that resonates beyond football is that everyone knows Tepper won’t or can’t face real discipline through this due to the power he holds. When you’re this wealthy in America, this is sadly one of the perks afforded to you.
The only hope here is that Tepper can see this as a moment of weakness and hopefully make changes for himself that will make the Panthers a respected franchise again. It simply doesn’t have to be like this. | https://www.wedr.com/news/national/david-teppers/RXRNEJBSH74R5H6QU5M4LSTN4A/ | 2024-01-01T03:34:57Z |
Nedeljkovic stops 37 shots, Eller scores twice to help surging Penguins edge Islanders 3-1
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins enter January with momentum and — they hope anyway — an identity that can sustain them for the grueling stretch to come.
Alex Nedeljkovic made 37 saves, Lars Eller scored twice and the Penguins held off the New York Islanders 3-1 on Sunday night for their fifth win in six games.
Pittsburgh is 7-1-1 overall over its last nine to climb into the Eastern Conference wild-card race as the the season’s midpoint nears. Perhaps more importantly than winning is the way the Penguins are playing. They’re largely avoiding the defensive lapses that cost them earlier in the season and getting a little offensive help from the bottom two lines to take some of the pressure off stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
The two goals from Eller and another from Noel Acciari gives Pittsburgh’s bottom two lines 17 goals over its last 13 games.
“I think it just feels like the whole team is getting a little more traction,” Eller said after his first multi-goal game since April 12, 2022, while playing for Washington. “Our best players have been our best players all year but we need everybody to chip in … that’s what we need. We need everybody to give something.”
Nedeljkovic was spectacular at times while improving to 6-2-2 with the Penguins. His .923 save percentage is a massive jump from the .895 he posted last season with Detroit. He’s also become a solid 1B to Tristan Jarry’s 1A. The Penguins have given up the fourth-fewest goals in the league, one of the reasons they’ve managed to steady themselves despite their earlier offensive struggles.
“We’re going to rely on both (goaltenders),” Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said. “They’re both helping us win right now. Jars played extremely well last night (in a win over St. Louis). Ned played extremely well tonight.”
Samuel Bolduc drew the Islanders within one with 6:09 left with the third goal of his career but New York could get no closer. Ilya Sorokin stopped 35 shots but couldn’t stop the Islanders from falling to Pittsburgh for the second time in five days. And unlike the Penguins’ 7-0 romp on Long Island last Wednesday, this one was in doubt until Eller’s empty netter with 43 seconds to go.
“We played well enough to win the hockey game,” New York coach Lane Lambert said. “I think both goalies played well. We had some real good looks and didn’t get it by him, couldn’t get it by him. That was the difference in the game.”
Nedeljkovic turned away an early breakaway by Casey Cizikas and made four stops in a 10-second span during a New York power play, including a diving save on a Brock Nelson slap shot in which Nedeljkovic dove to his left and stopped the puck with his outstretched arms despite a helmet so wobbly it came off shortly thereafter.
“It was just a scramble and a couple of lucky plays on my part,” Nedeljkovic said.
Eller gave the Penguins the lead 2:18 into the game with a nice finish at the goal mouth off a set-up from Jansen Harkins. Acciari doubled Pittsburgh’s lead 3:30 into the second when Drew O’Connor hit the breaks on the rush, pirouetted at the right circle to create some space then threw the puck toward the net, where Acciari redirected it by Sorokin.
The Penguins played a portion of the second period without captain Sidney Crosby, who went to the trainer’s room to get stitches under his left eye after inadvertently getting hit with the blade of New York center Mathew Barzal. Crosby returned late in the second period but failed to record a point to remain at 1,538 for his career, one shy of Joe Thornton for 12th on the NHL’s scoring list.

Islanders: Continue four-game trip Tuesday night at Colorado.

But while Finland has managed to massively reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness through its "housing first" approach, one Quebec expert said she's not sure it could be applied here, even if the provincial government was interested.

A husband and wife and their two sons, ages 10 and 12, were found dead in a suburban New York home Saturday in what authorities described as a murder-suicide by a police sergeant. Police officials said Watson Morgan, a sergeant with the Bronxville Police Department, fatally shot his wife, Ornela Morgan, 43, and their sons before taking his own life. The four bodies were discovered by police just after midnight on Friday at the family’s home in New City, a suburb of New York City, after Morgan failed to show up for his evening shift at the Bronxville Police Department.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon weekly newspaper has had to lay off its entire staff and halt print after 40 years because its funds were embezzled by a former employee, its editor said, in a devastating blow to a publication that serves as an important source of information in a community that, like many others nationwide, is struggling with growing gaps in local news coverage. About a week before Christmas, the Eugene Weekly found inaccuracies in its bookkeeping, editor Camilla Mortensen said.
Russian courts have sentenced more than 200 Ukrainian fighters to prison terms since Moscow started its military operation in Ukraine, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with the state RIA news agency published on Sunday. "The courts of the Russian Federation have already sentenced more than 200 representatives of Ukrainian armed formations to long terms of imprisonment for committing atrocities," Lavrov told RIA. Both sides accuse each other of committing numerous atrocities in the war that Russia started with a full-scale invasion on Ukraine in February 2022.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) -One of the senior figures in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing coalition called on Sunday for Palestinian residents of Gaza to leave the besieged enclave, making way for Israelis who could "make the desert bloom". The comments by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who has been excluded from the war cabinet and discussions of day-after arrangements in Gaza, appear to underscore fears in much of the Arab world that Israel wants to drive Palestinians out of land where they want to build a future state, repeating the mass dispossession of Palestinians when Israel was created in 1948.

Brazilian President has pneumonia, still at semi-intensive care unit
On Twitter, Bolsonaro wrote he was OK. "We are very calm, well, and we're still strong," adding a thumbs-up to his text.
Bolsonaro "was submitted to a tomography of his thorax and abdomen, which showed good progress of the intestines and imaging compatible with pneumonia."
Treatment
In order to address the problem, the medical team intensified the treatment with antibiotics, adding a new medication. "The doctors decided to add a new component to the list of antibiotics, a new drug, so the spectrum can be even wider," said General Rêgo Barros, the president's spokesman.
Bolsonaro is still not in pain, and using a nasogastric tube and an abdominal drain to remove fluids, and has also been receiving water orally and being fed intravenously.
Today, he did breathing exercises and walked down the hallway. Bolsonaro is said to have difficulty sleeping, and the medical staff are considering "helping him, so he can sleep a little longer."
Visits to the president are still limited. Bolsonaro talked on the phone with Environment Minister Ricardo Salles on ministerial issues. As for the pension reform, Barros said the president will consider all lines of action before working out, along with the economy minister, the guidelines of the proposal will be submitted to Congress. | https://en.inform.kz/news/brazilian-president-has-pneumonia-still-at-semi-intensive-care-unit_a3496520/ | 2024-01-01T03:34:59Z |
Opportunities are there, so are challenges
The global economy seems to remain fragile in 2024 though inflationary pressure might come down despite the continuation of the wars in Europe and the Middle East, said Kanti Kumar Saha, chief executive officer of Alliance Finance PLC.
Major central banks may not raise interest rates further, as predicted by most of the global think-tanks.
Bangladesh will not be an exception, he said.
"Major challenges will be how quickly businesses come out of the import restrictions, the higher rate of inflation, the rate of interest, and higher non-performing loans."
He said despite all these challenges, there will be more opportunities in the new year.
"But much will depend on the political stability and quick economic reforms, including faster decisions of money loan courts as well as concluding on the fate of weaker institutions."
According to Saha, the financial sector and the capital market should come out from the restrictive measures to a market-driven exchange rate and interest regime. There should not be any floor price in the stock market and stern action against manipulators should be ensured.
"Listing of good companies is a must."
Both state and private businesses should come to the capital market to raise funds, instead of continuing their reliance on banks for project financing.
Saha said the National Board of Revenue can think of a few incentive structures to attract large and multinational companies. Biggies will not come for listing without attractive tax incentives.
Taking advantage of digital solutions and keeping the number of branch networks at a limited scale will reduce operating costs and increase profitability. Innovations will be the key to navigating the challenging time.
In 2023, Saha says, the biggest takeaway was adopting the Treasury bill-based interest rate regime at the time of rising inflation, paving the way for deposit growths in the financial sector and the depreciation of the taka although it was not fully market-driven.
The New Finance Act 2023 and the amendment to the Bank Companies Act, and last but not least, the PCA (Prompt Corrective Action) framework for banks seem to be a very good addition to address long pending problems of the financial sector.
He says both exports and imports will increase in 2024 as the wage issue in the export sector has been addressed while inflation is lowering in the country's main export destinations.
"Import restrictions should go on the back of improvements in the balance of payments situation."
Inflation will be high but it will not increase as the oil price will remain low as predicted by Goldman Sachs. Demand for loans will go up if there are no restrictions on imports. These will impact the profitability of banks positively.
Under the new acts and PCA, banks and non-bank financial institutions should focus on consolidation to reduce NPLs, improve governance, better risk management, and build up knowledge-based human resources, added Saha. | https://www.thedailystar.net/business/economy/news/opportunities-are-there-so-are-challenges-3507531 | 2024-01-01T03:35:00Z |
Seahawks lose control of playoff destiny because of poor tackling against Steelers
SEATTLE (AP) — For the second consecutive season, the Seattle Seahawks will go into the final week of the regular season needing help from others in order to reach the postseason. Finding themselves in this situation was entirely self-inflicted this time around. In control of their path to the postseason entering the week, the Seahawks collapsed defensively in a 30-23 loss to Pittsburgh. It was a siege of physical running from the Pittsburgh duo of Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren and some awful tackling that allowed the Steelers to take control of the game. The result left Pete Carroll disappointed, the Seattle locker room frustrated and the Seahawks understanding they kicked aside their clearest path to the postseason.
