Some Nutramigen infant formula recalled due to possible bacteria contamination
(CNN) - Some powdered baby formula is being pulled from the shelves due to contamination issues.
On Sunday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers of possible bacterial contamination in Reckitt/Mead Johnson’s Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder products.
Manufacturers voluntarily recalled more than 675,000 cans of the formula.
The recall batches include ZL3FRW, ZL3FPE, ZL3FXJ, ZL3FQD, ZL3FMH, ZL3FHG with a UPC code of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and use by date of Jan. 1, 2025.
According to the FDA, the formula tested positive for Cronobacter bacteria, which can cause rare but potentially deadly infections in newborns.
The FDA says that no illnesses have been reported to date.
The company says no other Nutramigen liquid formulas or any other Reckitt nutrition products are impacted.

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has expressed concern over the attacks on state forces and said that a delegation will soon go to Delhi to meet central leaders and apprise them of the situation.
Singh's statement came in the wake of five state police commandos injured in a attack at the border town of Moreh in Tengnoupal district on Saturday. They have been airlifted to Imphal and admitted to hospital.
Taking to X, Singh said "The unprecedented attacks against the state forces in the recent times have become a serious national security threat. While the state and central security forces are actively engaged in maintaining control over the situation, it is also imperative for the combined security forces to adopt a robust and comprehensive approach to deal with these elements, who are relentlessly attempting to destabilise the state of Manipur."
The CM held a meeting with BJP state president A Sharda Devi, ministers, MLAs and party leaders on Sunday and discussed the situation with them.

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.

Youth-led Climate Action Takes Center Stage at COP28
The Conference of the Parties (COP) annually unfolds as a critical juncture where global leaders confront the specter of climate injustice, uniting to address the escalating climate crisis. My odyssey through three COPs has been a revelation, exposing the intricate dance and deadlock of negotiations, and dramatic decisions, spotlighting community resilience, and emphasizing the transformative power of collective action.
Bridging the Gap: From Activism to Negotiations Table
My journey at COP28 spanned various dimensions—from side events, bilateral meetings, protests, and movements, to media engagement, and the negotiations table. In Dubai, I had the privilege of joining dinner meetings with world leaders like Prime Minister Mark Rutte of the Netherlands and Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas of Curaçao, showcasing a commitment to inclusivity. Rutte's emphasis on involving young voices at the negotiation table resonated as a call to empower the next generation.
Children and young people, often excluded, play a crucial role in bridging gaps, especially in the aftermath of climate disasters. As a speaker, joining the "Youth & Gender Sensitive Climate Finance for Locally Led Adaptation" panel hosted by the We Are Tomorrow Partnership, I shared stories of Bangladesh building community resilience through local leadership. I also presented research findings jointly conducted in Bangladesh, Nigeria, and Guatemala by my young fellow, Population Council & Women Deliver, on the impact of Climate Change on adolescents, focusing on its special effects on health at the Children & Youth Pavilion.
Inclusivity and Urgency: A Pledge for a Just Future
The 1.5°C limit is not just a target but a survival issue. Despite challenges highlighted by the insufficient Loss and Damage Fund, vague COP28 outcomes, and gaps in the Global Goal on Adaptation, the urgency for immediate emission cuts, binding commitments, and justice for the most affected is imperative.
Criticism surrounds the COP28 text's lack of emphasis on financial commitments, raising doubts about the adequacy of support for vulnerable countries in their transition away from fossil fuels. Furthermore, the weak language on timelines targets for adaptation and adds another layer of concern.
The day-one announcement of operationalizing a $400 million Loss and Damage Fund—to compensate poor states for real losses incurred due to climate change impacts, without addressing human rights—proved inadequate by the end of COP28, revealing the intricate challenges of addressing real-world impacts without a human rights lens.
The summit faces scrutiny for its loopholes, lack of clear timelines, and the undeniable influence of fossil fuel lobbyists. With 2,456 lobbyists present, questions arise about the integrity of the negotiations and whether compromised outcomes truly serve the planet's best interests. COP28 President Dr. Sultan Al Jaber failed to deliver the ambitious 1.5°C target, leaving the deal laden with loopholes and lacking essential timelines and support. This raises questions about the effectiveness of leadership in achieving the summit's objectives.
Despite gaps, there is optimism in recognizing the end of the fossil fuel era. The call for financial institutions and investors to increase investments in renewable energy signifies a potential turning point in divesting from fossil fuel companies.
In conclusion, COP28 in Dubai stands as a resounding call to move beyond conference attendance, emphasizing the imperative to forge connections, build enduring bridges, generate political momentum, and amplify the voices of those profoundly impacted by the climate crisis. The summit provided a strong signal that youth are at the forefront of urgent climate action, and the fossil fuel era is coming to an end.

Colorado mom wanted for killing 2 of her children arrested in United Kingdom
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV/Gray News) - A mother wanted in connection with the deaths of two of her children has been arrested in the United Kingdom, according to police.
Colorado Springs Police say Kimberlee Singler was taken into custody without incident.

Singler and an 11-year-old girl were found with injuries and taken to a local hospital. All three children are Singler’s children.
As the investigation continued, a warrant for Singler’s arrest was issued on December 26. The arrest warrant included charges of murder in the first degree, child abuse, and assault.
A $10,000,000 bond was set by the court.

Judge allows new court in Mississippi’s majority-Black capital, rejecting NAACP request to stop it
Posted December 31, 2023 10:08 pm.
Last Updated December 31, 2023 10:12 pm.
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.”

Apps that made headlines in 2023
2023 was a year of technological marvels, marked by generative AI taking the forefront in transforming businesses, industries, and workplaces. 2023 was also the year where we have seen turbulence in the social media landscape as well, from the rebranding of Twitter to X to the birth of Threads and Bluesky. Before the year officially wraps up, let's take a look at some popular apps that have made the headlines in 2023.
Bluesky
Released in February 2023 for iOS and in April 2023 for Android as an invite-only social media app, Bluesky is a 'decentralised' microblogging platform founded by American software engineer Jay Graber, with Twitter's co-founder Jack Dorsey on the board of directors. Bluesky marked an important aspect of social media evolution in 2023, allowing users to shift from company-controlled apps to more user-centric networking.
Led by a vision of fostering open, transparent, and community-driven platforms, Bluesky's launch sparked several discussions on data ownership, privacy, and the democratisation of online spaces. Bluesky, as a platform, aims to decentralise social media infrastructure, allowing users greater control over their data and content while fostering interoperability across various platforms - a movement that has inspired many independent developers to keep building more user-friendly innovations. At the time of writing, the platform is over 2 million users strong and keeps growing.
Threads
Launched in July 2023 as a direct competitor to Twitter, Meta's Threads offered users an alternative to the popular microblogging social media platform. While offering similar microblogging and post-sharing functions as Twitter, Threads aimed to grab users who had grown tired of Elon Musk's tumultuous Twitter - eventually renamed to X. In its first five days of launch, Threads gained over 100 million users, breaking the previously held record of ChatGPT of being the fastest-growing consumer software application in history.
However, Threads failed to retain its initial momentum, experiencing a tremendous decline in active users - up to 80% - before its first month had ended. At the time of writing, Threads is officially reported to have over 33 million daily active users, which is still an impressive number considering the platform is only about 6 months old. Nonetheless, Threads continues to foster an active community, many of whom consider it as an alternative and/or a welcome addition to the evergrowing list of social media apps.
X/Twitter
Speaking of social media apps, you can't wrap up 2023 without talking about the rebranding of the well-known Twitter to Elon Musk's X. Even though the Elon Musk acquisition of Twitter was officially completed in October 2022, it wasn't until 2023 that everyone got a taste of Musk's ideas to restructure, rebrand, and essentially recreate the microblogging platform - starting with in May 2023, when Elon placed Linda Yaccarino, former Chairman of Global Advertising & Partnerships at NBC Universal Media, LLC, as the new CEO of Twitter.
Of course, the main change came two months later, as in July 2023, Elon announced that he was going to officially change Twitter to X, replacing the iconic blue bird logo with an 'X' in a black box. Since then, X has gone through a series of ups and downs, including adding premium subscription tiers, a job search feature, and an audio/video calling option for X Premium users only. While there has been a wave of general discontent about the direction X has been going to so far, the platform still has a large number of dedicated users, amounting to over 550 million active monthly users at the time of writing.
ChatGPT
The app that made the most headlines this year - ChatGPT transformed, in many ways, the way we conduct everyday professional tasks. Marking significant advancements in the field of natural language processing, the large-language model (LLM)--based AI chatbot offers users a robust and responsive platform that is not only capable of understanding complex queries but also generates intuitive and often creative responses in response. The web version of ChatGPT was released in November 2022, while the iOS and Android versions launched in May and July 2023, respectively.
The company behind ChatGPT, OpenAI, was also at the forefront of many news headlines this year, particularly last month when CEO Sam Altman was suddenly fired by the board of directors. This led to OpenAI shifting from one interim CEO to another, having a 3rd CEO in 4 days, until ultimately deciding to hire back Altman due to most of the employees threatening to quit otherwise. From ChatGPT to ChatGPT Premium to DALL-E and many more iterations of different forms of generative AI still to come, OpenAI has solidified itself as one of the most talked about companies in 2023.
Google Bard
While ChatGPT continues to dominate the field of publicly available generative AI, the chatbot is not without its competition. There have been a plethora of AI models that have emerged after ChatGPT's popularity, and Google Bard warrants a mention as perhaps the closest competition to OpenAI's most successful brainchild. Launched in March 2023 on a limited basis and later worldwide in May, Google Bard is a conversational AI-powered chatbot that functions similarly to ChatGPT.
However, even though Bard was launched to be a direct competition to ChatGPT, the Google chatbot failed to garner the same kind of response from its users, with many claiming that the initial versions of Bard provided less intuitive and less creative responses when compared to the OpenAI wonder AI. Earlier this month, Google announced they are integrating a mid-tier version of Gemini, the tech giant's powerful LLM, into Bard, with further plans to turn the chatbot into an 'advanced' version in 2024. The chatbot currently has an average of around 220 million monthly users, but with Bard Advanced coming soon, perhaps the numbers will rise. The jury's still out with Bard. | https://www.thedailystar.net/tech-startup/news/apps-made-headlines-2023-3507426 | 2024-01-01T04:11:36Z |
Nazarbayev, Lukoil CEO meet in Astana
The sides discussed further development of investment cooperation in oil and gas sector.
The Kazakh President noted positive dynamics and efficiency of partnership relations between KazMunayGas and Lukoil.
"We have been cooperating with Lukoil, one of the largest Russian companies of Russia, for a long-period of time. You are also one of the most important Russian investors in Kazakhstan. Lukoil has invested around $9bn in our economy," said the Head of State.
Nursultan Nazarbayev expressed interest in further strengthening of the investment collaboration with the Russian company.
Vagit Alekperov informed Nursultan Nazarbayev of the plans on joint implementation of Zhenis project, in regards to exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons in the Kazakh section of the Caspian Sea.
The Head of State was also briefed about the course of construction of a lubricants plant in the territory of Kazakhstan.
"The capacity of the plant is expected to make 100,000 tonnes per annum. The plant will specialize in production of almost all types of oil lubricants," stressed Alekperov.
The sides also discussed joint work on search for new hydrocarbon deposits with the application of new technologies as well as participation of the Russian company in 2021-2025 geological exploration programme developed by the Ministry of Energy. | https://en.inform.kz/news/nazarbayev-lukoil-ceo-meet-in-astana_a3499745/ | 2024-01-01T04:11:37Z |
Some Nutramigen infant formula recalled due to possible bacteria contamination
(CNN) - Some powdered baby formula is being pulled from the shelves due to contamination issues.
On Sunday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers of possible bacterial contamination in Reckitt/Mead Johnson’s Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder products.
Manufacturers voluntarily recalled more than 675,000 cans of the formula.
The recall batches include ZL3FRW, ZL3FPE, ZL3FXJ, ZL3FQD, ZL3FMH, ZL3FHG with a UPC code of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and use by date of Jan. 1, 2025.
According to the FDA, the formula tested positive for Cronobacter bacteria, which can cause rare but potentially deadly infections in newborns.
The FDA says that no illnesses have been reported to date.
The company says no other Nutramigen liquid formulas or any other Reckitt nutrition products are impacted.

North Korea’s Kim orders military to ‘thoroughly annihilate’ US, South Korea if provoked
Posted December 31, 2023 8:58 pm.
Last Updated December 31, 2023 10:56 pm.
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 offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex, a limited step, in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
Since 2022, North Korea has conducted more than 100 missile tests, prompting the U.S. and South Korea to expand their joint military drills. North Korea has also tried to strengthen its relationships with China and Russia, which blocked efforts by the U.S. and its partners in the U.N. Security Council to toughen U.N. sanctions on North Korea over its weapons tests.
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.

How to set achievable goals this new year
As another new year approaches, the age-old tradition of setting resolutions is upon us once again. However, this time around, rather than overwhelming ourselves with lofty goals that may fizzle out by February, let's focus on setting achievable resolutions that will help us achieve commendable professional and personal growth. Here are some simple methods you can utilise to set achievable daily goals for the upcoming new year.
The power of micro-resolutions
Larger goals tend to be difficult to achieve; as such, you can consider breaking those down into smaller, manageable micro-resolutions. Instead of vowing to completely overhaul your work-life balance, identify specific, actionable steps you can take each day. For instance, pledge to allocate 15 minutes of uninterrupted focus on professional development every morning, which could be reading an informative book, watching educational videos, or participating in online courses.
You can also identify a specific skill crucial to your profession and dedicate 10-20 minutes a day to practise. This could be coding, public speaking, or mastering a new software. You can also set a weekly goal to reach out to one new professional connection, which can be done through LinkedIn, industry events, or even local meet-ups. Make sure these micro-resolutions not only make your goals more digestible but also foster a sense of accomplishment as you consistently meet them.
Prioritise with purpose
Professional success often hinges on effective prioritisation. Rather than creating an exhaustive list of resolutions, carefully select a handful of priorities that align with your overarching career objectives. One example could be to brush up on your leadership skills, which you can do by joining seminars, workshops, or training sessions catered towards professional development.
Keep in mind that effective prioritisation begins with a crystal-clear understanding of your long-term career goals. Take the time to reflect on where you want to be in the next year, three years, and even a decade from now. Then, instead of focusing on the larger task at hand, break down the steps you need to achieve in terms of importance and priority. You can't be the manager of your team from day one. You need to slowly work up the corporate ladder. Plan each step carefully before proceeding.
Practise daily time-blocking
Time-blocking is a technique that involves scheduling specific blocks of time for dedicated tasks. You can do this by incorporating your resolutions into your daily calendar and assigning a specific quantity of minutes, hours, or even days to complete an achievable goal. For example, you can set a specific weekend off just to focus on building your network.
Allocating designated time slots for key activities in your life ensures consistent progress, and doesn't bog you down with large, often unachievable goals. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither are long-term career objectives. Celebrate small victories along the way, reinforcing positive habits and boosting your motivation to tackle more significant challenges.
Focus on work-life balance
Oftentimes, in the constant grind of daily work, we tend to forget what matters: friends, family, and loved ones. As such, instead of putting in 'be a better friend' or 'be a better husband' in your New Year's Resolution list, break down the objective into smaller, more achievable tasks. A way to do this is to set at least a day or two aside every month when you spend more time with your family and friends and not worry about work.
A successful work-life balance also means self-care. You should regularly assess and adjust your workload to determine if you need to take a break now and then. You aren't a machine. As a living, breathing human being, it's perfectly okay to want a break from the everyday grind. You can also lessen the daily load on yourself by using productivity apps, project management tools, and online learning platforms to stay more organised and on top of all your required daily activities.
As we welcome the new year, let's embark on a journey of professional growth grounded in achievable resolutions. Remember, it's not about the quantity of resolutions but the quality of your commitment to them. Here's to a year of meaningful progress and continuous advancement! | https://www.thedailystar.net/tech-startup/news/how-set-achievable-goals-new-year-3506636 | 2024-01-01T04:11:43Z |
LONDON, Jan 1 — Talking points from the 20th round of the Premier League season:
Bleak Christmas a reality check for Arsenal
A deserved defeat at Fulham on Sunday completed a damaging festive period for Arsenal who suddenly appear lacking in confidence, creativity and firepower.
Victory would have taken them top but defeat left them in fourth place and with the transfer window opening, manager Mikel Arteta should be looking at reinforcements.
Eddie Nketiah, selected up front ahead of Gabriel Jesus on Sunday, was ineffective, while Bukayo Saka, despite scoring, looks to have suffered a dip in form.
Arsenal are still very much in the title shake-up, but need to regain some momentum fast.
De Bruyne the perfect New Year gift for Man City
Perhaps the most significant moment in Manchester City’s routine defeat of Sheffield United on Saturday involved a player who did not even take part in the game.
When Belgian playmaker Kevin de Bruyne got off the bench to warm up, the City fans broke out into loud applause.
City have not been firing on all cylinders during the first half of the season, and in the run-up to Christmas endured a spell of one win in six league games.
The truth is, however, even without De Bruyne since the first game of the season after tearing a hamstring, they are only two points behind leaders Liverpool and perfectly positioned to challenge for an unprecedented fourth title in a row.
With assist-king De Bruyne ready to return and Erling Haaland also likely to be over his injury issue soon, City will take some stopping in the new year.
Tottenham happy to win ugly too
Tottenham Hotspur have earned plaudits for the style of their football under manager Ange Postecoglou, but their New Year’s Eve win over Bournemouth was as ugly as the weather as they rode their luck to take three points.
Bournemouth will wonder how they went home with nothing after a 3-1 defeat, but Tottenham will point to times this season when they lost despite some exhilarating displays.
Injuries have hit Tottenham’s starting line-up and there was little fluency about their play against Bournemouth. But they dug deep to secure the points with some clinical finishing proving the difference.
“That is always the sign of a good team when you come against adversity and you fight against it,” defender Ben Davies said. “It is not about the quality of the football it is about the fight and heart we’ve shown.”
Pochettino sees progress at Chelsea
Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino, who last month said his players were “soft” after 4-1 drubbing by Newcastle United, is sounding more upbeat after back-to-back Premier League wins, the latest a 3-2 victory at Luton Town on Saturday.
“There were many good performances. Players are stepping up. We are happy,” the Argentine told reporters. “It’s only a matter of time, it’s not a piece of magic where you can touch it and start to build a team.”
Chelsea remain in mid-table but two cup ties in their next two games — at home to Preston North End in the third round of the FA Cup and a League Cup semi-final first leg away to Middlesbrough — offer the chance to give their stop-start first season under Pochettino a bit more of a sense of progress.
Luton enter 2024 believing they can survive
Luton Town manager Rob Edwards held his head high after seeing the Premier League newcomers almost pull off a dramatic comeback against Chelsea on Saturday, scoring twice late on before eventually losing 3-2 at home to the big-spending Blues.
Edwards said his players had grown since a 3-0 defeat by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in August and he was confident about the rest of the campaign, despite the Hatters current position just inside the Premier League’s relegation area.
“I think it just shows the growth in the players, the belief in the players, and hopefully it allows everyone to believe that we are going the right way about our business and we are moving the right way,” he said. “I’m really looking forward to the second half of the season.” — Reuters | https://www.malaymail.com/news/sports/2024/01/01/premier-league-talking-points/110057 | 2024-01-01T04:11:44Z |
Former England captain says the teams performances have not been noteworthy because they failed to land any global trophy in the last decade
Dynamic Australian opener David Warner called time Monday on one-day international cricket ahead of his farewell Test against Pakistan this week, but kept the door open to play the 2025 Champions Trophy if needed.
The 37-year-old will pad up in his 112th and final Test in his home city Sydney on Wednesday, having plundered 8,695 runs at an average of 44.58, with 26 centuries and 36 half-centuries.
At a press conference at the Sydney Cricket Ground, he also announced his retirement from ODIs, where he has been a fixture since his debut in 2009, helping the team win the World Cup in 2015 and 2023.

"I've got to give back to the family and also on the back of that I'm definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well," he said.
"That was something that I had said through the (2023) World Cup, get through that, and winning it in India, I think that's a massive achievement.
"So I'll make that decision today, to retire from those forms, which does allow me to go and play some other (Twenty20) leagues around the world and sort of get the one-day team moving forward a little bit.
"I know there's a Champions Trophy coming up," he added. "If I'm playing decent cricket in two years' time and I'm around and they need someone, I'm going to be available."
The Champions Trophy has not been played since 2017, but is set to be resurrected in 2025 in Pakistan. Traditionally 50-over cricket, reports have said there is a push underway to make it T20.
Warner leaves ODIs after 161 matches, smashing 6,932 runs at an average of 45.30, with 22 centuries. Among Australians, only Ricky Ponting with 30 has scored more one-day tons.
He will continue to be available in the T20 format, with the 2024 World Cup in the Caribbean and United States a target.
Warner's decision to depart one-dayers means Australia will need a new opener for their three-match series against the West Indies in February, which follows a two-Test series in Adelaide and Brisbane.
Ahead of his ODI announcement, Cricket Australia chief Nick Hockley paid tribute to Warner's "amazing Test career".
"We are all extremely grateful for his immense contribution to this form of the game," he said in a statement.
"David's wonderful attacking style not only played a vital role in many Australian victories, it also enthralled and entertained fans across the world and drew many to Test cricket."
A larger-than-life character, Warner was described by Australia coach Andrew McDonald over the weekend as "probably our greatest ever three-format player".
But he will forever be remembered for the role he played in the notorious ball-tampering scandal of 2018 in South Africa.
Along with skipper Steve Smith, he was banned for a year for his part in the third Test debacle in Cape Town that saw Cameron Bancroft use sandpaper to scuff the ball before a crude attempt to conceal the evidence down his trousers.
Reflecting on his Test career, Warner said it was a "fairytale ending" to hang up his gloves in Sydney.
"I would have never imagined opening the batting for New South Wales or anyone to be honest when I first started but to be here, 112 Tests I think, I still pinch myself," he said.
He added that he would like to be remembered as someone "authentic and honest" who has "gone out there and given it his all".

Opinion
In my mind, the job was colossal, I was esteemed and rich. But no one seemed to notice
Waleed Aly
Columnist, co-host of Ten's The Project and academicThe Age’s opinion section is rolling out a fresh series of summer pieces on the theme of ‘The Summer I Went Legit’. These stories, penned by Age writers and regular columnists, range from humorous to poignant and thought-provoking tales of first jobs and finding your feet.
“Welcome to Telstra, this is Waleed, how can I help you?”
Yes. That was me, headset and all, talking to whoever was game about their MessageBank™. Or Call Number Display (the cool kids called it CND). Or trying to convince them of the merits of consolidating their various services into a single bill (“one account, one amount”). That last one we sold on the basis that it was good for the environment because it used less paper. By wild coincidence, it also saved the company considerable administrative costs.
There were two types of shifts – inbound (answering calls) and outbound (making the calls). Outbound was the default. “Hi, this is Waleed from Telstra, could I please speak to Mrs Bucket?” I wouldn’t have chosen Mrs Bucket, myself, of course. She was dished up by a machine, which identified her as being primed for some sale or other. Then suddenly there we were. Thrown together by fate on a phone call neither of us sought, having never known the other existed mere seconds ago.
In an instant, you’d be asking for their date of birth for privacy reasons and getting their permission for the call to be recorded “for quality and coaching purposes”. At which point, it wasn’t unreasonable for your new friend Mrs Bucket to say something like: “Hang on, you’ve called me out of the blue, and now you’re asking for my personal details and recording me?” Others would just hang up. If only they’d bought a CND, they’d have known not to answer – and for only $5.50 a month including GST!
Once, I remember a guy saying to me, with tremendous satisfaction, “You are the weakest link. Goodbye.” I couldn’t tell whether it was something he said at every available opportunity or had been waiting for the perfect moment to deploy, but I could definitely tell he thought quoting a catchphrase from a short-lived game show was the cleverest thing in the world, and not remotely hackneyed. I assume he now runs around saying “lock it in, Eddie” whenever he finalises social plans.
Looking back, it’s a miracle anyone ever agreed to talk, but you’d be amazed. In our induction we were told of one customer (not Mrs Bucket) who took the call while having sex, right up to and including the most … audible … bit, even declining an offer to be called back later. I tried to imagine how that conversation would have gone. Were there calm, dry exchanges about optimising one’s call plan? Was it a complicated discussion of how mobile, internet and landline services could be packaged so as to earn a discount? How exciting could a Messagebank™ be in the circumstances?
My first call wasn’t as eventful. Even so, I remember it vividly. All the product knowledge, all the practice calls, all the blood, sweat and tears of two whole weeks of training had led to this. Now I was about to be unleashed on a real person.
The dialler clicked into action, signalling a call had begun. I would be speaking in less than a second, but so much would be packed into that tiny interval. The air would feel electric, my stomach would churn as though powered by some nauseating engine. Then I would recognise instantly this wasn’t helping, and summon as much energy as I could to overwhelm the nerves. The result was probably that I sounded absurdly hyped up, but anything was better than sounding scared. Nowadays, I recognise exactly what that feeling is. I was on the air.
Around me was an aura of mundane drudgery, of battery-farmed “sales consultants” stuck on repeat for months on end. But for me, it was fabulously exciting. Telstra was this huge, prestigious company, whose ads I’d watched my whole life. How did someone let me represent them? Was I an Australian icon now, by association? Not just Waleed. But Waleed from Telstra. And how did anyone agree to pay me more money than I’d ever imagined – some $23 per hour – to become one? In my mind, this was colossal. I was esteemed and fabulously rich. It’s just that no one seemed to notice.
A couple of years later, I was at a job interview for my first legal job. “Are you one of those annoying people who hassles me at home when I’m just trying to relax?” began the interviewer, scanning my CV. I probably said something stupid like, “No, I’m just trying to help you get the most out of your service,” because that’s how those annoying people who hassle you at home when you’re just trying to relax tend to speak.
These days, my colleagues and I use a different set of annoying words. Words like “caucus”, “ombudsman” or “two-party preferred”; “outrage”, “scandal” or “fiasco”.
Fools have let me represent institutions far beyond my grade – the ABC, The Age, and Channel Ten. One day, someone will find out and end this madness, but it’s uncanny how many moments resemble that first call; how many skills are the same. Sound engaged, establish rapport with people from every demographic and walk of life, convey information quickly and simply.
The air crackles, the stomach churns, reserves of energy propel you over these hurdles and on the air. The more I think about it, the more all that telemarketing resembles an extremely niche form of talkback. I’d love to you to hear it. Sadly, I forgot to ask all those customers if they were happy for me to record them for niche broadcasting purposes.
But please, if there’s anything thing else you need, then how can I help you?

Naomi Osaka’s first win at the elite level since becoming a mother didn’t come easily. It did come on Day 1 of the year, though. So that was two items Osaka checked off the list Monday for her comeback to professional tennis.
The former No. 1-ranked Osaka was broken while serving for the match at 5-3 in the second set and needed three match points before converting in the tiebreaker for a 6-3, 7-6 (9) victory over Tamara Korpatsch in the first round of the Brisbane International.
“I was super nervous the whole time,” Osaka, 26, said of her comeback match against the 28-year-old German player.
A two-time Australian and U.S. Open champion, Osaka pulled out of last year’s Australian Open in Melbourne before later revealing she was pregnant. The U.S.-based Japanese player and her partner, rapper Cordae, became parents to daughter Shai in Los Angeles in July.
Osaka had only played one game since her first-round exit at the 2022 U.S. Open. She was leading Daria Gavrilova 1-0 at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo in September of that year before the Australian retired from the match with injury.
Osaka said she has a renewed focus on living in the moment when it comes to her tennis.
“The last couple years that I played before I had my daughter, I didn’t return as much love as I was given,” she told the crowd at Pat Rafter Arena. "So I really feel like that’s what I want to do in this chapter. I just really appreciate people coming out and people knowing me and cheering for me."
Reigning Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Jelena Ostapenko, Victoria Azarenka, Sofia Kenin and Sloane Stephens are also in the 64-player women's draw at the Brisbane International, one of the key tune-up events for the Australian Open in Melbourne.

Nazarbayev University scientists launch new genomic research system
- This platform uses "Qazaq symphony of bioinformatics" or Q-Symphony and other optimized bioinformatics methods to analyze large-scale human genomics data, to detect specific structural genomic variants, and to conduct complex comparative and population analysis. Previously it took up to two months to process one computational task, but now with Q-Symphony, it takes about seven days to complete this process! - commented Ulykbek Kairov, Leading researcher, Head of the Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, Center for Life Sciences, National Laboratory Astana.
For scientists and the research community of Kazakhstan, the data obtained using Q-Symphony will serve as the foundation for creating a reference database of genomic variants of Kazakh individuals and will have further applications in analyses of comparative population genomic variants described in the scientific literature. This computing platform makes it possible to more effectively apply the reference database of genomic variants in biomedical practice in order to evaluate new genetic variants in healthy individuals and patients with different pathologies within the Kazakh population.
In addition, this data can be used in medicine to improve the identification of diseases and select appropriate treatments. It is essential for medical professionals to understand all that they can about the genomic characteristics of the population because the presentation of diseases and the efficacy of different drugs can be related to genetics. This work can clarify the diagnosis of a patient with unclear etiology associated with human genetics, and can also be used in personalized medicine to identify genetic predispositions and prevent possible risks of developing pathologies, as well as to assess the effectiveness of different drugs depending on the patient's genetic features.
The Q-Symphony system consists of four main nodes: an input or control node, a memory node, a network of computing nodes combined into one, and a storage node. All nodes are connected by a high-speed data exchange network Infiniband with a capacity of 100 Gb/s. The total capacity of computational nodes is 172 cores, 3072 GB of RAM and 198 TB of data storage.
Q-Symphony uses a special data caching system, with a volume of 3.2TB, which increases the computational speed of input-output data for individual tasks. The data is automatically transferred to regular disk drives. Moreover, the monitoring system provides convenient transparent display of resource loading and task execution in 3D visualization mode. | https://en.inform.kz/news/nazarbayev-university-scientists-launch-new-genomic-research-system_a3497745/ | 2024-01-01T04:11:50Z |

LONDON, Jan 1 — Hugo Lloris said he will be a Tottenham fan for life as he waved goodbye to the Spurs support on Sunday after 11 years in north London.
The former France captain is headed to LAFC in Major League Soccer after losing his place as Spurs’ number one goalkeeper this season.
Lloris, who made 447 appearances for the club, was presented with a trophy by former Spurs defender Ledley King on the pitch at half-time of Sunday’s clash against Bournemouth.
“It’s goodbye, but it’s a goodbye from the player, not from the man. I will be a Spurs fan for the rest of my life,” Lloris said as he addressed the home support.
Tottenham confirmed on Saturday that Lloris’ contract had been terminated to allow him to move on a free transfer for California.
Lloris helped Spurs reach the Champions League final for the first time in 2019, but failed to win a major trophy during his time at the club. — AFP | https://www.malaymail.com/news/sports/2024/01/01/spurs-honour-keeper-lloris-for-11-years-service/110038 | 2024-01-01T04:11:51Z |
How the modern workplace will look like in 2024
With 2024 knocking on the door, the global workplace is undergoing a significant transformation—a process that began with the aftermath of Covid-19 in 2021. Driven by technological advancements, changing employee expectations, and the aftermath of the pandemic, organisations worldwide are reevaluating their work models, management strategies, and priorities.
This year is set to be a pivotal moment in defining how work is conducted, with a particular emphasis on flexibility, employee well-being, and the integration of AI technologies. In 2024, the workplace in Bangladesh is set to be influenced by global trends and local dynamics, primarily driven by advancements in technology, evolving work models, and shifting employee priorities.
Here's an in-depth look at the key trends and culture shifts expected in the coming year.
Embracing remote and hybrid work models
The global shift toward remote and hybrid work models, catalysed by the pandemic, has firmly established these approaches as the new norm. In 2023, according to a US-based data source, about 60% of remote-capable employees worked fully on-site, a significant drop from 2019 figures. However, around half of employees still work fully on-site in roles that can't be remote or hybrid.
In Bangladesh too, many organisations have adopted the hybrid model and it is likely to get a little more popularised by the end of 2024. Going into 2024, local organisations need to balance driving productivity with practicality, focusing on employee well-being and mental health, and creating social connections.
The rise of AI and its impact
AI, including generative AI applications like ChatGPT, is expected to be more frequently employed in workplaces by 2024. About 50% of companies globally are already using generative AI, and this trend is likely to grow as organisations become more comfortable leveraging this technology.
AI's role in the workplace extends from handling time-consuming tasks to aiding in decision-making and innovating solutions. Training in generative AI is even seen as a retention perk, showing employees how to use it to reduce work stress.
Management and leadership evolution
Leadership skills are undergoing a significant transformation. Effective leaders in 2024 need to focus on building trust, deepening employee engagement, and moving away from a command-and-control approach. The emphasis is on motivation, inspiration, and connecting employees to meaningful impact.
Employee well-being over productivity
There's a growing trend towards prioritising employee well-being, especially mental health. Holistic well-being approaches are being integrated into workplace cultures, moving beyond individual-level interventions. Companies are acknowledging the importance of creating a supportive work environment that fosters both personal and professional growth.
Gig economy expansion
The gig economy, characterised by independent, temporary, or contract work arrangements, is expected to grow in 2024. This trend is driven by the preference for flexibility in work schedules and the emergence of platforms catering to this market.
Generational shifts in leadership
As Baby Boomers retire, leadership roles are increasingly filled by younger generations, including Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. This generational shift brings different preferences and work styles. Understanding and engaging with younger workforce needs, particularly those of Gen Z, will be crucial for organisations.
Bangladesh's dynamic market growth
Bangladesh is emerging as a fast-growing market with a large domestic consumer base, a rapidly expanding middle and affluent class, and a high digital adoption rate. The country is home to over 2,500 startups, focusing on various sectors like fintech, e-commerce, and logistics. Traditional companies also play a significant role in the economy.
Economic resilience and digital transformation
Bangladesh's economy has shown resilience to global shocks, with a higher-than-average annual GDP growth. The digital economy is rapidly expanding, with a significant increase in mobile subscriptions and internet coverage. This digital transformation is expected to further fuel consumer spending and financial inclusivity.
2024 represents a critical juncture in the evolution of workplace cultures globally. In Bangladesh, the convergence of global influences and local dynamism will reshape how businesses operate and employees engage with their work.
According to Ayesha Tahura, HR lead at a local multinational corporation, the work culture in Bangladesh will experience a cautious shift in the coming year. "In Bangladesh, the 2024 workplace is set to reflect a pragmatic blend of technological advancement and traditional values. As global trends lean towards remote work and digital integration, Bangladesh's corporate sector is adapting, albeit at a measured pace," she says.
"Key areas to watch are the growth of tech-based industries and the gradual shift to more flexible work arrangements. However, this transition is balanced by a strong adherence to local business customs and community-centric values. The challenge for Bangladeshi companies will be to harness global innovations while maintaining the cultural ethos that defines their workforce," adds Tahura. | https://www.thedailystar.net/tech-startup/news/how-the-modern-workplace-will-look-2024-3506656 | 2024-01-01T04:11:51Z |

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.

NBK bans banks from charging loan fees
"With a view to reduce charges collected by second-tier banks on a monthly basis, the National Bank prohibited establishing and collecting charges for bank account keeping, those associated with granting and servicing a loan, as well as for crediting (granting) to a bank account a loan under bank loan agreements for the purchase of goods, works and services with individuals not engaged in any entrepreneurial activities," the National Bank's statement says.
The prohibition will extend to bank loan agreements, which will be signed from March 2019.
In the meantime, it should be recalled that starting 2019, along with remuneration and forfeit, banks are not entitled to claim payment of any charges or other fees related to loan issuance and service, which were accrued after 180 consecutive calendar days overdue, under a mortgage housing loan agreement for an individual not engaged in any business activities.
Besides, to protect the rights of individuals who were granted mortgage loans secured on real estate, this year the National Bank prohibited banks from claiming payment of any remuneration charged after 180 calendar days overdue.
One should be aware that the remuneration charged and paid before the enactment of the Law dated January 21, 2019, that is, before February 3, 2019, is not subject to adjustment. By the Law dated July 2, 2018, charges and other fees related to loan disbursement and service are included in the order of loan payments.
Starting February 1, 2019, there are some changes. According to them, to inform borrowers about the interest rate to be paid, banks are given the opportunity to indicate the interest rate not only as percent per annum but also as a fixed amount, i.e. as a specific amount.
For loans with an interest rate in a fixed amount, the highest annual effective interest rate shall not exceed the limit established by law. | https://en.inform.kz/news/nbk-bans-banks-from-charging-loan-fees_a3498318/ | 2024-01-01T04:11:57Z |
Most talked about startup stories in 2023
In 2023, the country's startup sector, known for its agility and forward-thinking approach, has seen remarkable growth and diversification. Here are the biggest startup headlines from 2023:
Pathao
In 2023, Pathao, a prominent on-demand digital platform in Bangladesh, experienced pivotal growth. July saw the company being awarded the Employment Catalyst Award by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in recognition of its significant role in creating jobs, particularly for the youth. This accolade underscores Pathao's effective use of technology and innovation to empower individuals.
August marked Pathao's expansion into the banking sector with an application for a license to establish Pathao Digital Bank. This strategic move aligns with its mission to elevate user experiences and contribute to Bangladesh's economic growth. Gaining global attention, Pathao secured a position among the top 40 tech firms globally, an achievement that highlights its market leadership and strategic expansions.
In October, Pathao unveiled a new logo, symbolising its commitment to connecting various services such as ride-sharing, delivery, and financial access. This rebranding effort reflects the company's dedication to ongoing innovation.
MedEasy
MedEasy, a Dhaka-based online pharmacy startup, concluded a successful seed funding round in September, securing $750,000. The investment, involving players like Seedstars International Ventures and Startup Bangladesh Limited, is intended to bolster MedEasy's healthcare services in Bangladesh.
MedEasy stands out for its comprehensive approach to healthcare. Besides offering medicine delivery, it allows users to connect with licensed doctors through video consultations. The startup is also working on new features like a subscription-based model, digital vital monitoring system, and an appointment-booking marketplace, showcasing its commitment to continuous innovation.

Founded in December 2020, Arogga provides a wide range of healthcare products and services. Its app facilitates easy prescription uploads, ensuring the safe and timely delivery of medicines. Arogga's comprehensive approach focuses on making everyday medicines conveniently accessible in Bangladesh.

NAIROBI, Jan 1 — 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. — AFP | https://www.malaymail.com/news/sports/2024/01/01/ugandan-athlete-benjamin-kiplagat-stabbed-to-death-in-kenya/110047 | 2024-01-01T04:11:58Z |

JANUARY 1 — In “Legislative model emergency should be considered”, I cited the arguments of John Ferejohn and Pasquale Pasquino that most emergencies ― even the most exceptional and novel ― can be managed effectively within the existing legislative framework.
Countries do not need to use constitutional powers when confronting emergencies. Emergencies can be dealt with through ordinary legislation. (“The law of the exception: A typology of emergency powers” [2004] 2 IJCL 210)
I cited Singapore, New Zealand and Australia – common law jurisdictions like Malaysia – as examples.
Singapore, in particular, has a constitutional provision similar to Article 150(1) of the Federal Constitution. However, it was not, and has not been, invoked to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, notwithstanding that the pandemic is within the natural meaning of the word “emergency”.
The republic, instead, resorted to Section 17A of the Infectious Diseases Act 1976 which allows the appropriate minister, if he is satisfied that there is an outbreak or imminent outbreak of an infectious disease that poses a substantial risk of a significant number of human fatalities or incidents of serious disability in Singapore, to declare, by order, a public health emergency.
A civil defence emergency is another kind of emergency that may be declared by the minister in Singapore. This is found in section 102(1) of the Civil Defence Act 1986.
A civil defence emergency is defined as “any fire, explosion, earthquake, oil spill, eruption, flood, storm, hazardous materials incident or other happening (whether or not attributable to an attack by an enemy or to any warlike act) that causes or may cause destruction of or damage to property or loss of life or injury or distress to persons or that in any way endangers the safety of the public in Singapore or in any part thereof” – section 2 of the Act.
Section 102(1) states that if at any time it appears to the minister that a civil defence emergency has occurred or may occur in any part or district of Singapore, the minister may declare that a state of civil defence emergency exists in that part or district.
The minister must immediately give public notice of every declaration of a state of civil defence emergency and the declaration must be published in the Gazette as soon as possible.
Section 102 has a sunset clause in subsection (3) – that is, a state of civil defence emergency for any part or district terminates on the expiry of the seventh day from the time the state of civil defence emergency is in force. The minister may extend the duration for such further period or periods as the minister thinks fit, but only with the approval of the President – section 102(4).
During a state of civil defence emergency, the Commissioner of the Civil Defence Force and the police have special powers necessary for the purpose of carrying out civil defence measures and for the preservation of human life or property, namely to:
(a) direct any person to render any assistance to the Force to save life in immediate danger;
(b) direct the evacuation of any area, building or place, and the exclusion of persons from any area, building or place and in the exercise of that power may remove or cause to be removed a person who does not comply with a direction to evacuate or a person who enters or is found in any area, building or place in respect of which a direction for the exclusion of persons has been given;
(c) remove from any place, vehicle, structure or thing that is impeding civil defence operations and to facilitate its removal may use such force as is reasonably necessary or may break into any such vehicle;
(d) enter upon and, if necessary, break into any place, building, premises or land where he or she believes on reasonable grounds that it is necessary to do so for saving life or preventing injury or rescuing injured or endangered persons or for facilitating the carrying out of any urgent measures in respect of the relief of suffering and distress; and
(e) restrict the movement of persons and close to traffic any road, street, path, private street, private way, service lane, waterway, right of way or access way or other way or close any public place.
Why the special powers? During an emergency, attention is quickly turned to the disaster area.
An immediate response is to mitigate the impact of the disaster. Emergency teams will be mobilised, which unfortunately can be haphazard.
Although the country may have its emergency response plan, the chaos that can follow in the wake of disasters cannot be ignored.
The authorities, for one reason or another, both at national and local level, are sometimes excluded from the early phases of the emergency response.
It is therefore laudable to have such special powers as the above, without which each responding team to a disaster may act according to its own protocols. This will hinder a proper response to an emergency.
Malaysia’s counter legislation, namely the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342) and the Malaysia Civil Defence Force Act 1951 (Act 221) do not delegate the authority to declare a state of emergency such as public health emergency and civil defence emergency. It must be appreciated that such delegation, however unusual it may be, is not out of ordinary as it is within the framework of a constitutional system.
It is, as John Ferejohn and Pasquale Pasquino argue, an act of the legislature working within its normal competence.
The power to declare a state of emergency and the special powers that come with it are lent, not granted.
So, let’s consider “lending” such powers to the relevant authorities when it is satisfied that a state of emergency has occurred.

Team DUET Cogent, a robotics team from Dhaka University of Engineering and Technology (DUET), has recently earned second place in the 'Meshmerize' segment at IIT Bombay Techfest 2023. Held this year in Mumbai from December 27 to 29, IIT Bombay Techfest is among the largest college-level tech festivals in Asia.
The team from Bangladesh competed against more than 500 international universities, including teams from Russia, South Korea, Switzerland, and Brazil to win the second place. Team DUET Cogent consisted of Nazmul Huda, Shahadat Hossain, Md Mehedi Hassan, and Aung Chin Wain.
In the 'Meshmerize' segment at IIT Bombay Techfest, teams must build a line follower bot that can keep track of directions while going through a maze. It must analyse a given path and use the information to traverse the maze and reach the ending point in the minimum possible time. For this segment, Team DUET Cogent built their line follower bot in their campus robotics lab.
"It's an honour to be able to bring recognition to our country in the field of robotics. We hope our success serves as an inspiration for aspiring young people in Bangladesh," shared Nazmul Huda, a member of Team DUET Cogent. He added, "This accomplishment isn't just ours; it belongs to our supporters, mentors, and the entire nation that stood behind us." | https://www.thedailystar.net/tech-startup/news/team-bangladesh-becomes-runners-iit-bombay-techfest-3507251 | 2024-01-01T04:12:05Z |

Growing prospect of rate cuts in Europe and the US likely to boost demand
The UAE reduced petrol prices for the third consecutive month on Sunday, bringing local retail fuel rates for January 2024 nearly at par with the lowest level in a year.
The Fuel Price Committee slashed petrol prices by 14 fils, or 4.8 per cent, per litre for January 2024, pricing Super 98, Special 95 and E-Plus 91 at Dh2.82, Dh2.71 and Dh2.64, respectively. It’s close to the prices in January 2023, when the three variants were priced at Dh2.78, Dh2.67 and Dh2.59 per litre.
Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels.
In 2023, prices hit the lowest in January and peaked in October when Super 98 was priced at Dh3.44 a litre. But it was still lower than the previous year when petrol rates hit an all-time high of over Dh4 a litre in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war that started in early 2022.
Since the UAE deregulated oil prices in 2015, local retail petrol prices are revised at the end of every month to be aligned with global rates.
Petrol price was reduced after prices dropped by around $5 a barrel globally in December.
Brent price averaged $77.34 in December 2023, which is lower than November 2023 rates when Brent averaged around $82 a barrel.
ALSO READ:
Brent mostly traded in the range of $80 a barrel in December and $70 in November, signifying that the prices traded at a lower rate in December. This was reflected in the reduction of prices in the UAE for January 2024.
Petrol prices in the UAE are cheaper by over 43 per cent when compared to the global average. One of the world’s largest crude producers, the UAE was among the top 25 countries in terms of lowest retail petrol prices in December.

New Brexit deal vote unlikely until 4 weeks before planned exit: PM May
Addressing MPs in the House of Commons, May said she was not yet ready to put an alternative Brexit deal before parliament, saying it may take time to get a revised deal from Brussels.
May went to Brussels last week in an attempt to secure changes to the so-called backstop arrangement designed to avoid border checks between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
As expected, the European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said the EU would not reopen the withdrawal agreement agreed between the British government and Brussels.
The backstop arrangement is considered by some Brits -- especially Brexiteers -- to be a trap to retain Britain in a customs union with the EU and pragmatically delay their "divorce."
However, May said both sides agreed their officials would continue talks on a Brexit deal. "It may take time to get a revised deal," May told the Commons.
May said she will present an amendable Brexit motion for debate in the House of Commons on Thursday, giving politicians a chance to challenge her Brexit process and put forward alternatives.
"But if there is no deal by Feb. 26, the government will make a statement to MPs on that day, and hold a debate on an amendable motion on Feb. 27," said May.
"Talks are now at a crucial stage and we must all hold our nerve," May said, adding she believes Britain can reach a deal that will have the support of Parliament, and also honor the result of the 2016 referendum when British votes backed leaving the EU.
"When we achieve the progress we need, we will bring forward another meaningful vote," said May.
May also told MPs she rejected a proposal put forward by the main opposition Labour party for Britain to join an EU customs union.
Responding to May, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said Britain was facing the biggest crisis in its history, accusing her of playing for time to win backing for her Brexit deal by running down the clock towards the Brexit day on March 29. | https://en.inform.kz/news/new-brexit-deal-vote-unlikely-until-4-weeks-before-planned-exit-pm-may_a3497625/ | 2024-01-01T04:12:12Z |

KYIV, Jan 1 — Five people were killed in attacks on Ukraine’s southern Odesa region and the eastern city of Donetsk, local authorities said on Monday as the conflict between Moscow and Kyiv escalates.
“As of 2:00 (2300 GMT), there were preliminary 13 wounded and four dead,” Denis Pushilin, the Russian-installed head of Donetsk said on Telegram.
He described the attack as “massive shelling from multiple launch rocket systems”.
In Odesa, local governor Oleg Kiper said one person died in a Russian drone attack, adding three others were wounded.
Several buildings were hit and damaged by “downed drones”, he said on Telegram.
“Fires broke out in residential buildings in different areas of the city,” Kiper said.
The attacks are the latest in a wave of salvos since Friday, which saw the deadliest attack on civilians in Russia since the start of the conflict in February 2022.
Over the weekend, the two sides traded blame for the pummelling of civilian areas in their shared frontier region. — AFP | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2024/01/01/five-killed-in-attacks-on-donetsk-odesa-say-local-authorities/110069 | 2024-01-01T04:12:12Z |

Exploring Jordan: From Petra to the Dead Sea
The first name that comes to mind when we talk of Jordan is the world-famous Petra, one of the new Seven Wonders of the world. But this small landlocked country in the Middle East has much more to offer with its natural wonders like the Dead Sea and Wadi Rum, and its numerous historic places dating back to the ancient Roman civilization, the early days of Islam and the lives of our Prophets. What can be a better travel destination for history buffs?
After the wearingly long COVID lockdowns, my plan was to travel at least two new countries in 2023. With GOBDGO, our travel partner over the last 10 years, we planned the trip spanning two countries in two continents. With lots of customizations and last-minute changes, aptly managed by GOBDGO, we finally left Dhaka in October for our three-week long tour. Jordan was our second destination.
After landing in Amman, our travel agent welcomed us from the immigration counter in Queen Alia International Airport. Jordan is the first country we have been to where the locally currency is stronger than the US Dollars (for 100 US Dollars, you get 70 Jordanian Dinar!). But that was the only sad part of our 11-day stay in Jordan.
Your tour in Jordan has to start with Petra, the 'Rose City' built by the Nabateans more than 2,500 years ago. A major trade hub in those days, the entire city has been carved out of red sandstone mountains in Wadi Musa or the Valley of Moses, covering an area of over 260 sqkms. On any given day, Petra is visited by over 3,500 tourists. So, to have the best views of the place without the mad rush of people, we woke up at four in the morning, had early breakfast (thanks to the hotel we stayed in), and reached the gates of Petra by 6.45am. From there, you need to walk through the 1.2km gorge, the Siq, to reach the most popular spot in Petra – Al Khajneh or the Treasury building. The one-hour walk is an experience in itself as you get to see ancient caves, temples and statues of gods and goddesses carved out of the mountains along both walls of the narrow Siq. The Treasury Building is the only building that stands today without any damage from the earthquakes that destroyed most parts of Petra, and the whole structure has been carved out of a single sandstone mountain. You can climb up on some of the nearest hilltops to get an aerial view (and some splendid shots) of the Treasury building. While many people turn back from there, Petra has a lot more to offer. Our group divided into two – four team members decided to climb the 1,000 stone steps to reach the monastery on top of a hill, while me, my friend and her kid decided to explore the ruins of houses and temples in the remaining parts of Petra. After walking and hiking for over an hour in the intense heat and dust (head and face cover is a must), we decided to rest for a bit in one of the nearby caves (Petra has many). As we climbed up to the cave and looked inside, we were dumbfounded to see that the cave is actually the home of a Bedouin family! The lady of the house, who spoke fluent English, graciously invited us inside the beautifully decorated place, offered us tea, and told us we are free to walk around her house. From her, we came to know that there are 35 Bedouin families who still live in the caves of Petra, that they go to the nearby village every day to bring food and water, and their children go to the village school. We rested there for almost an hour, sipping the tea and watching her kids play while taking in the beautiful view of the Petra valley from the mouth of the cave. We spent close to ten hours in Petra, but this unplanned visit to a Bedouin home was just the cherry on the cake.
Even after a whole day of walking, hiking and climbing up the rocky, dusty mountains, we wanted to have more of Petra. So, we went back just after a few hours to enjoy 'Petra by Night' – a light show at the Treasury Building (separate entry tickets are needed for this). With hundreds of candles lighting up the narrow Siq and a night-time sky flooded by a full moon, Petra had transformed magically into a strange, mysterious place from thousands of years back. While the light show lasted for less than half an hour, the walk through the Siq at night was an experience worth having.
The next day, we went to Little Petra – a smaller suburb to the main Petra city. With much less crowd, we took our time to visit the houses and caves here. But the main attraction of Little Petra are the cats – extremely friendly cats of all size, shape and color. I spent most of my time in Little Petra running after these cats.
Our next destination was Wadi Rum – the valley of the moon, which lies near the borders with Saudi Arabia. While having lunch at a restaurant overlooking the Wadi, it seemed like we were waiting at the gates of Mars – as the granite and sandstone mountains with their strange shapes looked nothing like anything we had seen before. The landscape has been the backdrop of many popular films over the years, including the 1960's classic Lawrence of Arabia, to the more recent Dune, the Martian, John Wick, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Aladdin, Prometheus and many more. The best way to experience Wadi Rum is in an open-top Jeep speeding through the sand trails. We spent an eventful four hours climbing up the red sand dunes as high as 7-storeyed buildings, riding camels across the valley, climbing up rock formations for panoramic view of the terrain, or looking for ancient rock inscriptions giving directions to the trade caravans through the desert, or depicting hunting warriors and various animals. It is possible to spend a night in Wadi Rum in the Bedouin tents for stargazing and to take in the nighttime beauty of the valley.
Another highly recommended place is the tree of Al Buqayawiyya – the Blessed Tree. Dating back 1,500 years and located in the old trade route between Mecca and Damascus, it is believed that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) rested underneath this tree while travelling with his uncle Abu Talib, and this is the place where the Monk Bahira foretold about his future as the last Prophet. Even without this part of history attached to it, the tree itself is a wonder of nature – a Pistachio tree full of green leaves, standing in the middle of a desert terrain with no other plants or trees for miles around, with birds and butterflies flying around its leaves and branches.
Jordan has a host of other locations that are worth the visit for their historic and religious significance. There is Mt Nebo from where the Prophet Moses was granted a view of the promised land before his death. On a very clear day, the golden top of the Dome of the Rock of Al Aqsa mosque is visible from the summit of Mt Nebo. We really hoped to have a glimpse of the sacred place; however, we were not so lucky. There is Ain Musa (near Wadi Musa), or the Moses Spring, believed to have been formed by the Prophet Moses after striking the rock with his staff whereby water gushed out from- the rock for his followers to drink from. The spring flows even today, covered by a simple structure with three domes that represent Islam, Christianity and Judaism. A 20-minute drive from Amman will take you to the Cave of the Seven Sleepers, popularly believed to the cave described in Sura Kahf in the Holy Quran (although both Turkey and Syria claim location of similar caves in their respective countries). Even without the religious significance, the cave is an interesting place for visitors. Then there are the 12th century castles of Ajloun, Shobak and Kerak – testament to the battles fought and won by Sultan Saladin against the crusaders. While some castles are in ruins, some are in remarkably good conditions and definitely worth a visit. The ruins of Jerash just outside Amman also provide interesting glimpses from the Roman era.
Our last stop was the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth and a natural salt-lake with such high salinity that there are no fishes, plants or living creatures in the water. With salinity level 10 times higher than any other ocean, nothing drowns in the water. You do not need to know how to swim to enjoy the blue water of the lake. With salinity levels 10 times higher than any other ocean, you cannot drown in the water even if you try! After witnessing a beautiful sunset, we spent some more time in one of the many restaurants lining up the shores. Just on the other side of the lake are the cities of Jericho and the West Bank, and a bit further, Jerusalem. With the events unfolding in those regions even as we were visiting, the stark contrast between the two sides of the Dead Sea and its significance was not lost on us.
We spent the last two days in Amman. It is recommended to stay in downtown Amman as all major tourist spots from both the Roman and Islamic era are within walking distance. One day is enough to visit the Roman Amphitheatre, the ruins of the Ummayad Palace, Byzantine Basilica and the Temple of Hercules. The hilltop Roman Citadel is a prominent sunset point, and we stayed back even after the sunset to enjoy the panoramic view of the city all around us as it slowly lit up in colorful lights.
While Amman has its own upscale neighborhoods and shopping malls, the soul of the city is in downtown Amman. You should take your time to stroll through the old city's colorful and ever-busy souks and road-side stalls with the colorful 'Tatreez' dresses, Oud perfumes, traditional jewelry and local crafts. There are many beautifully decorated restaurants or the bustling road-side stalls where you can enjoy the delicious kebabs, Mansaf, Makloubeh, Hummus with Pita Bread, Falafel. But no visit in Amman is complete without tasting the Knafeh of Habibeh Sweets – hands down the best dessert from the Middle East. The Rainbow Street in Amman is also highly recommended, especially at night, with its colorful strip brimming with creative cafes, restaurants, and shops – a popular destination of tourists and locals alike.
But no description of Jordan is complete without talking about the people. Most of the shopkeepers in downtown Amman, as well as our tour guides and driver, were of Palestinian descent, whose parents or grandparents came to Jordan as refugees and stayed there. Their warm-hearted and generous treatment overwhelmed us, and every time we said we are from Bangladesh, they thanked us for always being a friendly state to the Palestinians. Hearing about their stories and their struggles had a humbling effect on us all. We will always fondly remember Captain Mahmoud, who drove us around the country; Mr. Afridi, our friendly tour guide with his extraordinary gift of storytelling; Mr. Adnan, the owner of a boutique whose honesty and hospitality moved us. All of them are originally from Palestine.
Out of the 30+ countries I have visited, Jordan now holds a special place in my heart. A highly recommended country for anyone who is interested in history and nature. And I would definitely like to go back there again someday. | https://www.thedailystar.net/winter-carnival/travel/news/exploring-jordan-petra-the-dead-sea-3506401 | 2024-01-01T04:12:13Z |

The impact on GCC economies due to the impending rates cuts by global central banks in 2024 is expected to be largely positive, a report said.
According to Kamco Invest’s GCC Fixed Income Market Update for December 2023, this will happen “as global economic slowdown in now expected to be softer-than-expected, with soft landing in economic growth. This coupled with lower inflation rates in the GCC should augur well for the region in terms of GDP growth backed by thriving non-oil GDP, a strong project pipeline and elevated oil price,” the report, written by Junaid Ansari, Kamco Invest's Head of Investment Strategy & Research, said. In addition, the strong credit profile of most countries in the GCC with recent upgrades this year also provides stability to currency and the fixed income funding market, it added.
In the primary market, GCC bonds and sukuk issuances exceeded market expectations with several big-ticket issuances during the second half of the year. Sukuk issuances in Saudi Arabia coupled with bond issuances in the UAE during the second half of 2023 and pushed aggregate issuances in the GCC to over $100 billion at $107.8 billion by mid-December-2023. “This compares with $90.0 billion in total bond and sukuk issuances in the GCC during full year 2022,” the report said.
GCC governments are expected to see elevated levels of maturities in their bonds over the next five years, the report showed.
According to data from Bloomberg, GCC sovereign maturities stands at $209.3 billion over the next five years (2024-2028), whereas corporate maturities stand significantly lower at $177.9 billion . “Both bond and sukuk maturities are expected to remain elevated starting from 2024 until 2028 and then gradually taper for the rest of the tenor,” the report said. The higher maturities during the next five years reflects a number of short-term (less than five-year maturity) issuances in 2020 and 2021 as governments raised funds to plug in deficits during the pandemic. “A majority of these maturities are denominated in US dollars at 59.7 per cent followed by local currency issuances in Saudi riyals and Qatari riyals at 16.3 per cent and 7.6 per cent, respectively. In addition, due to the credit rating profile of the GCC governments, a majority of these maturities are in the high investment grade or A rated instruments,” the report said.
In terms of type of instruments, conventional bonds dominate with $244.3 billion in maturities over the next five years, whereas sukuk maturities are expected to be at $142.9 billion . In terms of country split, Saudi Arabia continues to see the biggest maturities during 2024-2028. The Kingdom is expected to see maturities of $131.9 billion until 2028 followed by UAE and Qatari issuers at $122.5 billion and $71.4 billion, respectively. Kuwait has the smallest maturities in five years at $14.1 billion due to lack of government issuances.
In terms of sector maturities, banks and other financial services sector have $130.9 billion in maturities in the next five years, accounting for around 73.6 per cent of the total corporate maturities and 33.8 per cent of the total maturities in the GCC until 2028, respectively. The energy sector was next with maturities of $17.9 billion or 10.0 per cent of GCC corporate maturities until 2028 followed by utilities and communications at $11.4 billion and $6.1 billion , respectively. Banks in UAE have the biggest maturities over the next five years at $60.2 billion followed by Qatari banks with maturities of $26.3 billion . Banks in the two countries accounted for 22.3 per cent of total bond/sukuk maturities over the next five years in the GCC. Real Estate maturities are concentrated mainly in the UAE and Saudi Arabia at $6.3 billion and $2.9 billion , respectively, until 2028. The structure of maturities saw perpetual instruments seeing consistent growth until 2022. However, 2023 witnessed a steep decline in issuances of perpetual instruments. According to data from Bloomberg, aggregate issuances declined from $11.5 billion in 2023 to merely $2.0 billion during 2023.

WASHINGTON, Jan1 — A 39-year-old Hawaii man has died of his injuries after he was attacked by a shark in the waters off Maui, local police said.
Jason Carter, described by local media as a surfer, was attacked on Saturday morning, the Maui Police Department said in a statement.
When police arrived, he was being rushed to shore via jet ski by safety officers.
“Once onshore, life-saving measures were performed” until he could be transported to hospital, the police statement said.
But Carter “later succumbed to his injuries and died,” it continued.
Authorities later closed the beach and put up shark warning signs.
Hawaii News Now reported that water conditions were “mixed” at the time due to high surf conditions, and said that it was the first fatal shark attack in Hawaiian waters this year. — AFP | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2024/01/01/shark-attack-kills-hawaii-man/110082 | 2024-01-01T04:12:19Z |

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.

BEIJING, Jan 1 — China’s President Xi Jinping exchanged congratulations with US President Joe Biden on the 45th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries, the official Xinhua news agency said today.
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. — Reuters | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2024/01/01/xi-says-willing-to-work-with-us-for-stable-relationship/110076 | 2024-01-01T04:12:26Z |

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 1 — As 2023 concludes, the legal stage in Malaysia is set for another year of captivating court cases, promising a mix of unfinished business, appeals, and pivotal verdicts.
As we enter 2024, let’s take a closer look at the high-profile cases that are expected to unfold, capturing the nation’s attention. Mark these dates on your calendar:
JANUARY
Loh Siew Hong's battle for custody continues
The year will kick off with a significant case as Hindu mother Loh Siew Hong seeks justice in the Court of Appeal on January 10. At the heart of the matter is the unilateral conversion of Loh’s three underage children to Islam by her estranged ex-husband in 2020, a move contested by Loh.
Sedition charges await Kedah MB
Moving into the political arena, Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor will face two sedition charges. Scheduled for a 12-day hearing starting January 2024, these charges relate to seditious words uttered during political talks last July. If convicted, Sanusi could face a maximum fine of up to RM5,000 or imprisonment for up to three years, or both.
Najib's bid for acquittal in SRC International case
Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is set to make headlines again as he applies in the High Court to be acquitted of three money laundering charges involving 1MDB subsidiary SRC International Bhd funds totalling RM27 million.
Paul Yong's rape case appeal and Malaysia's first stalking trial
The month will also see the appeal of former Tronoh assemblyman Paul Yong Choo Kiong, who faces a 13-year prison term and whipping sentence for the alleged rape of his maid in 2019. Yong was a former DAP man turned but is now the senior vice-president of Parti Bangsa Malaysia.
Meanwhile, January 17 will see the one-day trial for Mohamad Safiq Rosli, the first man charged with stalking in Malaysia.
FEBRUARY
Indira Gandhi's sues IGP over inaction
In February, the High Court is scheduled to hear the suit filed by kindergarten teacher M. Indira Gandhi against the inspector-general of police (IGP) and the government. The suit alleges the failure to arrest her ex-husband and return her abducted daughter who was unilaterally converted into Islam.
MACC officers' alleged gang robbery
On February 5, attention will turn to the case involving three Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) enforcement officers accused of gang robbery against a Chinese businessman. Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng has claimed a politician and his wife to be the brains behind this gang robbery and asked why the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) had finally charged the three MACC men on December 13 but had not acted against the masterminds he claimed to be a married couple.
Cradle Fund CEO murder appeal and Muhyiddin Yassin's abuse of power charges
February 8 will see the Court of Appeal deciding on the prosecution’s appeal against the acquittal of Samirah Muzaffar and two teenagers charged with murdering Cradle Fund CEO Nazrin Hassan five years ago.
Simultaneously, the Court of Appeal is set to hear the prosecution’s appeal against the High Court’s decision to acquit Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin of abuse of power charges involving RM232.5 million.
MARCH
Zahid Hamidi's corruption case and Kevin Morais murder appeal
March 18 marks the Court of Appeal hearing the prosecution’s appeal against the acquittal of Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi on corruption charges related to a foreign visa system contract.
On September 23 last year, the Shah Alam High Court acquitted and discharged Ahmad Zahid, who is now deputy prime minister, of all the charges after ruling that the prosecution had not made out a prima facie case against him. The prosecution then filed its notice of appeal to the COA.
The Umno president had pleaded not guilty to 33 counts of receiving bribes amounting to S$13.56 million (RM47 million) from Ultra Kirana Sdn Bhd (UKSB) for himself as home minister to extend the contract of the company as the operator of a one-stop centre (OSC) service in China and the VLN system, as well as to maintain its contract with the home ministry to supply the VLN integrated system.
Concurrently, March 14 delivers the verdict on the appeal by six men sentenced to death for the murder of Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Anthony Kevin Morais eight years ago. The men are former pathologist Col Dr R. Kunaseegaran, 60, money lender S. Ravi Chandaran, 52, and unemployed individuals R. Dinishwaran, 31, A.K. Thinesh Kumar, 30, M. Vishwanath, 33, and S. Nimalan, 30.
On July 10, 2020, the six men were sentenced to death by the Kuala Lumpur High Court after they were found guilty of killing Morais somewhere along Jalan Dutamas Raya Sentul and No. 1, Jalan USJ 1/6D, Subang Jaya, between 7am and 8pm on September 4, 2015.
Former Bersatu information chief Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan is set to begin his graft trial on March 25. Charged with soliciting and accepting bribes related to Jana Wibawa projects, Wan Saiful faces corruption allegations linked to the Central Spine Road project.
Wan Saiful, 48, is charged with soliciting money from Lian Tan Chuan as gratification for him to help Nepturis Sdn Bhd obtain the “Central Spine Road: Sertik to East Coast Expressway junction” project valued at RM232 million from the government of Malaysia via prequalification.
He was also charged with receiving bribes totalling RM6,962,694.54 through a CIMB Bank Berhad account owned by his company WSA Advisory Group Sdn Bhd from a Maybank Islamic Berhad account owned by Syarikat Nepturis Sdn Bhd as a reward for assisting Nepturis to obtain a Letter of Acceptance for the project.
MAY
Muhyiddin's son-in-law faces charges
In May, the son-in-law of former prime minister Muhyiddin, Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad, will face three charges, including soliciting a cash bribe and receiving inducements for a road construction project.
The businessman was charged at the Sessions Court on one count of soliciting a cash bribe of 3.5 to 7 per cent of the project value from Mat Jusoh Mamat, the Managing Director of MIE Infrastructure & Energy Sdn Bhd.
The second count involves receiving RM500,000 into his CIMB Bank account from Mat Jusoh as an inducement to help the company obtain the same letter of agreement for the RM 47.8 million road construction project from Jalan Sungai Adam to Kampung Banat, Perlis.
Suit over Pastor Raymond Koh's disappearance resume
The wife of missing pastor Raymond Koh, Suzanna Liew, resumes her lawsuit against the police, the IGP, and former high-ranking police officers over her husband’s disappearance in May. The lawsuit, filed in 2020, alleges negligence, misfeasance, and conspiracy to injure.
Liew is claiming general and exemplary damages in her lawsuit that accused the respondents of negligence, misfeasance, and conspiracy to injure. She said the respondents’ failure to perform their legal duty violated her constitutional and legal rights as the spouse of the abducted Koh.
JUNE
Violations in controlled goods list and Najib's CBT trial
June will bring charges against Muhammad Faisal Hamzah, son of Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin, for violations related to the federal government’s list of controlled goods.
Faisal, along with Azizul Abdul Halim, both being directors of Rimba Merpati Sdn Bhd — a wholesale cooking oil licence holder — were charged with allegedly providing false information by producing fake invoices on the purported sale of subsidised cooking oil to a local retail company. The violation is stipulated under Section 8(4) of the Control of Supplies Act 1961. Cooking oil is a controlled item under the Act.
In addition, former prime minister Najib and former Treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah face a criminal breach of trust (CBT) trial involving RM6.64 billion for International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC).
JULY
Zuraida's appeal against RM10m fine
In July, the spotlight will turn to former PKR vice-president Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin’s appeal against a High Court decision ordering her to pay RM10 million to the party for breaching the bond binding her.
In the statement of claim, PKR claimed that Zuraida had signed a bond on April 25, 2018, binding her to pay RM10 million to the party as stated in the bond’s terms and conditions.
PKR claimed that Zuraida had agreed to pay the party a sum of RM10 million at the latest seven days, in the event of several incidents, including, after winning the election on a PKR ticket, she resigned from the party or joined other political parties or became an independent elected representative.
Zuraida, in her defence, claimed that she was forced to sign the bond with the party to become its candidate in the 14th general election in 2018.
AUGUST
Anwar Ibrahim's slander suit against Muhyiddin
August will unfold with PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s suit against Muhyiddin. The suit revolves around an allegedly slanderous speech about Anwar receiving a salary of RM15 million while serving as the Selangor state economic adviser. A nine-day trial is set, starting August 5.
OCTOBER
1MDB's suit against Riza Aziz and Ivana Smit’s death probe
On October 16, the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) lawsuit against Riza Shahriz Abdul Aziz the stepson of former prime minister Najib will begin, alleging misappropriation of US$250 million funds for film production and real estate purchase.
The three 1MDB subsidiaries are 1MDB Energy Holdings Limited, 1MDB Energy Limited and 1MDB Energy (Langat) Limited. On May 7, 2021, 1MDB and its three subsidiaries sued Riza Shahriz and his two companies for allegedly receiving around US$248 million in funds that they misused for their personal gain, including financing a film and purchasing various properties.
The plaintiffs are seeking a declaration that Riza Shahriz is responsible for the misappropriated funds and demand repayment.
Concurrently, the High Court scheduled 18 days to hear a suit filed by the family of deceased Dutch model Ivana Esther Robert Smit. The suit alleges breaches of statutory duties and negligence in the investigation into her death. | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2024/01/01/high-profile-court-cases-to-look-out-for-in-2024/109320 | 2024-01-01T04:12:33Z |

MELAKA, Jan 1 — Strategic cooperation among various parties, including ministries, state governments and industry players, as well as the people’s support in the next three years are crucial to make a success of the Visit Malaysia Year 2026 (VM2026) campaign, said Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing.
The Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister said strategic and efficient preparations are essential to activate the VM2026 campaign to maximise the economic impact and establish Malaysia as a key global tourism destination.
He said this was important considering that his ministry was targeting the arrival of 35.6 million foreign tourists in conjunction with VM2026 with an estimated domestic spend of RM147.1 billion.
“Malaysia is rich in tourism attractions, including natural beauty, diverse culture and arts. However, some states overlook these aspects and miss the opportunity to maximise existing tourism resources to drive the industry,” he said at the launch of Visit Melaka Year 2024 (VMY2024) and New Year’s Eve celebrations here last night.
Also present were Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Mohd Ali Rustam, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh and other state leaders.
The event was also telecast live to the autonomous region of Zhuang Guangxi in China, which has a population of 58 million.
Tiong praised the strategic cooperation with the Melaka state government in organising VMY2024, which includes more than 70 events to welcome tourists.
He said the ministry also welcomes the state government’s initiative to host international mega events such as World Tourism Day (WTD) and World Tourism Conference (WTC) 2025 from Sept 27 to 29, 2025 and expects them to have a positive impact on the country.
Ab Rauf said in his speech that the 2024 New Year celebrations in conjunction with the launch of VMY2024 will revitalise the tourism sector, which was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
He said the state government is determined to rejuvenate the tourism sector through various strategies, initiatives and measures that are in line with Melaka’s development direction to become one of the top three tourist destinations in Malaysia and the world. — Bernama | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2024/01/01/tourism-minister-strategic-collaboration-among-stakeholders-vital-for-success-of-vm2026/110033 | 2024-01-01T04:12:40Z |
Former England captain says the teams performances have not been noteworthy because they failed to land any global trophy in the last decade
Dynamic Australian opener David Warner called time Monday on one-day international cricket ahead of his farewell Test against Pakistan this week, but kept the door open to play the 2025 Champions Trophy if needed.
The 37-year-old will pad up in his 112th and final Test in his home city Sydney on Wednesday, having plundered 8,695 runs at an average of 44.58, with 26 centuries and 36 half-centuries.
At a press conference at the Sydney Cricket Ground, he also announced his retirement from ODIs, where he has been a fixture since his debut in 2009, helping the team win the World Cup in 2015 and 2023.
Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels.
"I've got to give back to the family and also on the back of that I'm definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well," he said.
"That was something that I had said through the (2023) World Cup, get through that, and winning it in India, I think that's a massive achievement.
"So I'll make that decision today, to retire from those forms, which does allow me to go and play some other (Twenty20) leagues around the world and sort of get the one-day team moving forward a little bit.
"I know there's a Champions Trophy coming up," he added. "If I'm playing decent cricket in two years' time and I'm around and they need someone, I'm going to be available."
The Champions Trophy has not been played since 2017, but is set to be resurrected in 2025 in Pakistan. Traditionally 50-over cricket, reports have said there is a push underway to make it T20.
Warner leaves ODIs after 161 matches, smashing 6,932 runs at an average of 45.30, with 22 centuries. Among Australians, only Ricky Ponting with 30 has scored more one-day tons.
He will continue to be available in the T20 format, with the 2024 World Cup in the Caribbean and United States a target.
Warner's decision to depart one-dayers means Australia will need a new opener for their three-match series against the West Indies in February, which follows a two-Test series in Adelaide and Brisbane.
Ahead of his ODI announcement, Cricket Australia chief Nick Hockley paid tribute to Warner's "amazing Test career".
"We are all extremely grateful for his immense contribution to this form of the game," he said in a statement.
"David's wonderful attacking style not only played a vital role in many Australian victories, it also enthralled and entertained fans across the world and drew many to Test cricket."
A larger-than-life character, Warner was described by Australia coach Andrew McDonald over the weekend as "probably our greatest ever three-format player".
But he will forever be remembered for the role he played in the notorious ball-tampering scandal of 2018 in South Africa.
Along with skipper Steve Smith, he was banned for a year for his part in the third Test debacle in Cape Town that saw Cameron Bancroft use sandpaper to scuff the ball before a crude attempt to conceal the evidence down his trousers.
Reflecting on his Test career, Warner said it was a "fairytale ending" to hang up his gloves in Sydney.
"I would have never imagined opening the batting for New South Wales or anyone to be honest when I first started but to be here, 112 Tests I think, I still pinch myself," he said.
He added that he would like to be remembered as someone "authentic and honest" who has "gone out there and given it his all".

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/)
On the final day of 2023, December 31st, Reuters, a U.S.-and-allied journalistic institution, headlined “Israeli minister repeats call for Palestinians to leave Gaza”, and opened: “One of the senior figures in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition called on Sunday [Dec. 31st] for Palestinian residents of Gaza to leave the besieged enclave, making way for Israelis who could ‘make the desert bloom’.” That phrase “make the desert bloom” was used by the zionist (or Jewish-fascist) creators of the Israeli apartheid anti-Palestinian nation back at its founding during the 1948 ethnic-cleansing of Palestinians from the land, and even during the years leading up to that ethnic cleansing, as being an excuse for that ethnic cleansing, “to make the desert bloom.” The Reuters article continued:
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.
So, that article’s headline could honestly have been “Israel Makes Official Its Ethnic-Cleansing Objective for Gaza” — especially because even that article acknowledges “the mass dispossession of Palestinians when Israel was created in 1948”; and, so, Israel’s ethnic-cleansing against Palestinians is acknowledged in that article as having originated that far back (and therefore as NOT being new after 7 October 2013).
Certainly, Gaza has not been “blooming,” and Israel has severely limited food and medicine being allowed into Gaza, so as to punish the Gazans for being there, and has made almost impossible for any Gazan to leave Gaza, ever since the 1990s and especially after Gazans in 2006 elected Hamas to lead them. And thus Gaza is called by many people “the world’s largest open-air prison.” So: on the one hand, Israel has been punishing the residents of Gaza by its siege against them, but on the other hand Israel hasn’t been allowing Gazans to leave Gaza; and, now, Israel is trying to perpetrate ethnic-cleansing so as to replace the Gazans by Israeli settlers who will “make the desert bloom” in Gaza by those Jewish-fascist settlers who will be supported by the very same Israel’s government that has been impoverishing the Gazans and prohibiting them from making their desert there bloom.
Polls show that 74% of Americans think Hamas wants Genocide of Israelis, and that 31% of Americans think Israel wants genocide of Gazans (which genocide Israel has actually wanted ever since Israel was founded in 1948). Polls also show that Americans also falsely believe that Hamas (which is supported by 88% of Palestinians) is rejected by Palestinians. How can a democracy exist in America if the public are so extremely deceived as this? It can’t (and doesn’t).
Therefore, polls also show that Americans support America’s supplying to Israel’s government the airplanes and bombs and missiles and tanks and intelligence-support that make this ethnic cleansing by Israel’s soldiers possible.
Whether this ethnic cleansing will exterminate all Gazans, or instead exterminate some and expel the survivors into the adjoining desert in order for them to be either starved to death there or else become lifelined by the U.N.’s refugee agency, isn’t yet clear; but, by now, at least the ethnic-cleansing of them has become a publicly admitted goal of Israel, and not merely (as it had previously been) Israel’s clear intention from its bombing of Gaza’s refugee camps, schools, hospitals, residential areas, and other civilian structures.
—————
Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.

Rantz: Here are the top 10 best films of 2023
Dec 31, 2023, 5:31 PM | Updated: 5:51 pm
(Photo courtesy of Amazon MGM Studios)
Who saw the 2023 box office reality coming? The landscape presented a striking contrast between genres that soared and those that stumbled in the post-COVID-19 era’s return to theaters.
On the one hand, audience preferences significantly shifted, with audiences saying no to superhero films (“The Marvels,” “The Flash” and “Aquaman” and the “Lost Kingdom”) and some action-adventure blockbusters (“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1” and “Fast X”). Some of the results weren’t so shocking: the truly dreadful final “Indiana Jones,” which should never have been made, flopped.
Perhaps this means studios will rely less on continuing old franchise films and create more fresh, interesting, and provocative films. Warner Bros’ “Barbie” and Universal’s “Oppenheimer” were among the biggest successes, with “Barbie” becoming the highest-grossing movie of the year at $1.44 billion and the three-hour-long “Oppenheimer” amassing $951 million.
The domestic box office totaled roughly $8.58 billion in 2023, a notable rebound since the pandemic but still short of pre-pandemic levels. The number of film releases was lower compared to previous years, with 88 movies released in 2023 compared to 108 in 2019. But less was more when it came to quality, at least. This past year featured truly spectacular filmmaking, unforgettable performances, and shining new filmmakers. Here are the 10 best films of 2023.
The ten best films of 2023
10. “Gran Turismo,” directed by Neill Blomkamp, offers a rousing and inspirational retelling of Jann Mardenborough, wonderfully portrayed by Archie Madekwe, from gamer to professional racer. David Harbour complements with a strong performance as Jann’s mentor, Jack Salter. The film excels in its fast-paced and emotionally engaging narrative, capturing the thrilling essence of professional racing in ways that few films have been able to. It stands out for its effective blend of inspiration, action, and heart, making it a compelling watch that resonates with audiences seeking a blend of excitement and motivational storytelling.
9. “May December,” directed by Todd Haynes, delivers another masterclass in complex, nuanced, darkly comical storytelling with its exploration of relationships and moral ambiguity. It’s loosely based on the Mary Kay Letourneau crime. Charles Melton’s portrayal of Joe Yoo, a man robbed of his adolescence thanks to a predatory relationship with a much older woman, is exceptional, offering a depth that makes his performance Oscar worthy. The film manages to avoid clear-cut moral judgments, which lets the viewer sit with a narrative that’s both challenging and thought-provoking.
8. Randall Park’s “Shortcomings” is a sardonic character study that stood out for its rejection of rom-com tropes. The film excels in portraying supposed cultural taboos, with a standout performance from Justin H. Min as Ben, a snobby movie buff who deals with the perceived (and actual) conflicts between identity and love. The film’s strength lies in its ability to address complex themes with a lighthearted touch, navigating some tricky themes with both humor and honesty in ways that never seem woke.
7. John Carney’s latest gem is “Flora and Son,” a film showcasing the intersection between music and life’s raw complexities. The story may be simple, but delivers a captivating story about the gritty yet soulful lives of a working-class Dublin family. Eve Hewson kills it as Flora, a single mother whose effort to bond with her troubled son, Max (Orén Kinlan), through music, is both heartfelt and profound. Joseph Gordon-Levitt adds a surprisingly compelling layer as Flora’s long-distance music teacher.
6. “Anatomy of a Fall,” deftly directed by Justine Triet, stands out as a compelling drama that effectively weaves a murder (?) mystery with a deep and uncomfortable examination of a turbulent marriage. Sandra Hüller and Milo Machado Graner deliver remarkable performances, portraying the complex dynamics of a mother-son relationship set against the backdrop of a tragic event where a son, who happens to be blind and the trial’s only witness, wonders if his mother is guilty. Hüller’s portrayal of Sandra is stunning — she can be a warm and caring mother in one scene, and cold and distance defendant in another. This is how a courtroom drama should be. It wasn’t just a murder at the center of the trial, but a troubled marriage.
5. There was never a film that seemed less necessary than “Wonka.” I was shocked to be so wrong. The origin story of the quirky chocolatier delivers with warmth and whimsy, exceeding all expectations. Timothée Chalamet delivers a shockingly captivating and breezy performance. The vibrant and colorful cast adds depth and humor. This film became a multi-layered story that offers much more than meets the eye, with Hugh Grant’s Oompa Loompa stealing the film. One should never doubt director Paul King. (Though, in my defense, the trailer is awful.)
4. “Past Lives,” by newcomer Celine Song, is about two people destined to be together but cannot because of a life choice — or series of choices — they make. It’s about a willingness to torture oneself over a love that will likely never happen. This is a raw romantic drama that could be both uplifting or emotionally devastating depending on how you look at the characters’ love for one another. Greta Lee and Teo Yoo deliver deeply affecting performances, perfectly capturing the nuanced emotions of a love that makes one vulnerable, all delivered with subtle tenderness. It’s a film approached with deep sensitivity that lingers with you long after viewing.
3. The visually stunning “Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse” managed to, again, redefine the limits of animated films. The animation itself is a character, conveying the story as much as the dialogue. It wasn’t just thrilling to watch, of course. The voice acting, led by Shameik Moore as Miles Morales, is extraordinary in a sequel that has as much heart as it does relentless action sequences. It was hard to believe this sequel could surpass the first, yet it did in every way. The film’s innovation is also likely why it wasn’t subject to the superhero box office woes — this film delivers.
2. “Oppenheimer,” directed by Christopher Nolan, emerged as a cinematic tour de force (a term you can’t truly understand until you see this on the biggest screen you can), brilliantly combining visual spectacles with profound storytelling that never feels heavy handed. At the helm is Cillian Murphy, who delivers a mesmerizing performance as J. Robert Oppenheimer. This film masterfully navigates the intricate and conflicting layers of its protagonist, while also casting a critical eye on Senator Lewis Strauss (portrayed by Robert Downey Jr.) and his blatant political maneuvering and opportunism. True to Nolan’s signature style, the score is a driving force to amplify the tension and urgency as scientists race against time in their monumental task to develop the bomb. Remarkably, the film avoids the pitfall of preachy moral lessons, choosing instead to delve into the characters’ emotional turmoil over the implications of his creation. Despite its intellectual depth (it’s quite brainy) and a runtime of three hours, Oppenheimer stays as captivating as it is accessible, balancing the science with the human story at its core.
1. Saltburn stands out as an unpredictable and nearly indescribable cinematic experience. It dives deep into the depths of obsession, offering a modern, darkly twisted interpretation reminiscent of “The Talented Mr. Ripley.” Barry Keoghan delivers a performance that is nothing short of remarkable, embodying a character who manages to be both sinister and pitiable as a fish-out-of-water. You almost feel bad rooting for him. The cast is impeccable, with each actor bringing to life distinct, multifaceted characters. Rosamund Pike, in the role of Elsbeth, shines particularly bright, delivering lines with a sharp, sardonic wit that adds depth to the story (“She’d do anything for attention,” she says of a friend’s suicide). Saltburn daringly ventures into uncharted territories, culminating in a shock ending. It’s a delicate tight rope director Emerald Fennell walks as she balances the film between being disturbing and fun. Saltburn not only sets a new high for dark comedies, but stands out as the best film of 2023.
A number of these films were nominated for the Critics Choice Awards, of which I’m a voting member via the Broadcast Film Critics Association. The awards show airs on The CW on Sunday, Jan. 14. Rush to see these films before the awards show.

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.

McGrath's advice for Warner ahead of Test farewell
Reflecting on his own SCG Test retirement, Glenn McGrath is urging David Warner to play his own way right until the very end.
Veteran Australian opener Warner will earn his 112th and last Test cap when Australia hunts a 3-0 series whitewash against Pakistan in Sydney from Wednesday.
Warner's career in the baggy green began with concerns he was too brash a batsman to succeed in Test cricket and ends with more runs to his name than any other Australian opener in the long game's history.
His attacking style has been his calling card, most recently earning him a pivotal century in the series opener against Pakistan in Perth.
McGrath is hopeful of seeing that same Warner one last time at the SCG.
"Go out, be positive," the legendary quick said when asked of his advice for Warner.
"We saw him come out and get a good hundred over in Perth, just going back to the way he plays.
"Hopefully he can go out on a high. It'd be great to see him get a hundred here in front of his home crowd."
McGrath, Shane Warne and Justin Langer called time on their own Test careers following the SCG Test in 2007 - a 10-wicket drubbing of England that confirmed Australia's 5-0 Ashes whitewash.
McGrath's memories of that match informed his words of wisdom for Warner.
"You're a long time retired, and I guess I only had one fear when I played, and that was if I walked off the field at the end of the day and didn't back myself on the field," he said.
"I love seeing sportspeople go out and play without fear and I think he does that."
Warner said he hoped to be remembered as a player who had remained true to himself and "someone who has gone out there and just given it his all".
"(I was) a boy from housing commission having a dream," he said.
"I've not always fitted the mould, but I've been authentic and honest.
"I think that shows you on the field in Test cricket, I've played the exact same way.
"I'm even playing lap shots like I do in T20 cricket. I'm still trying my best to get better even in this last Test. I'm hungry to score runs.
"I just want to leave behind that you can go out and play the way you want to play."
Warner's swansong coincides with the 16th iteration of the McGrath Foundation's Pink Test, a fundraising initiative aimed at helping provide breast cancer patients with nurses.
Established by McGrath and his late wife Jane, the charity is again running its virtual pink seat initiative to encourage fans to buy a place at the SCG even if they are unable to attend the Test.
"This year, we've set a goal of 322,000 virtual pink seats, which means we'll basically achieve our mission of (employing) 250 McGrath breast care nurses," McGrath said. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-12915717/McGraths-advice-Warner-ahead-Test-farewell.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-01-01T04:13:01Z |
In an appearance on a new episode of the ‘Breaking Points’ podcast, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson attacked Orthodox Jewish conservative commentator Ben Shapiro for his support of Israel in its ongoing war with Hamas, following Shapiro’s criticism of him for his stance on the October 7 terrorist attack in Israel.
The conversation, steered by host Saagar Enjeti, delved into the right-wing’s involvement in international conflicts, particularly in Israel and Ukraine. Enjeti asked Carlson, “Why is it that so many of these people don’t seem to have the same level of care for actual American citizens?”
Carlson, after discussing the Ukraine-Russia war, shifted to the situation in Israel. He expressed his personal connection to both Israel and the Arab world, stating, “In the case of Israel and the Arab world, I’ve spent a fair amount of time in both and I like both. And I felt terrible for the people who were killed on October 7, I still do. So I had no weird motive, I was just thinking about it from an American perspective: Is this good for us or is it not?”
“I said first of all, if the people who live in Gaza who are being moved out are so evil and dangerous that they can’t live in the region, why would you want them to move into my country?” Carlson continued. “I mean those, what are you saying? They can’t live there because it’s too scary to live next to them but they can live next to me? So at that point, I felt very hostile about that because it showed such contempt for me and my family and my neighbors and my country — it is my country — that’s how I feel about it anyway. It’s all of our country. And so I was like disgusted by that and I said so and I don’t know why that’s weird. Why wouldn’t I be offended by that?
“And then it was immediately I’m a hater, a bigot, or something like that. None of that registered with me because, first of all, I’ve been attacked for so long. But attacks that aren’t true. You know if somebody said ‘Wow, you’ve gained some weight this summer’ I’d be like ‘Oh!’ It would hurt my feelings because it’s true! But if someone’s like ‘You’re a hater’ or ‘You hate,’ that’s not true so I don’t really care.
“But I did think it showed like the level of not just corruption, which I knew, but of like emotional instability and crazy. I mean, there are people — and I stopped reading any of it — but there are people on the “right” who have spent the last two months every single day focused on a conflict in a foreign country as our own country becomes dangerously unstable, on the brink of financial collapse, with tens of millions of people who shouldn’t be here in the country, we don’t know their identities or the purpose of their being here.
“Like, stuff that could destroy the country for real and make it impossible for my kids to live here. They’ve said nothing about that, and they’re focused with laser intensity on foreign conflicts that I’m like, at some point I’ve got four kids. If I’m so caught up in the problems of my neighbor’s children and completely ignoring my own children as they get addicted to drugs and kill themselves, you know, I’m not against helping my neighbors’ kids, but clearly I don’t love my kids. I mean, that’s you know, that’s the only logical conclusion. And they don’t care about the country at all. And that’s, you know, that’s kind of their prerogative. But I do. Because I have no choice, because I’m from here, my family’s been here hundreds of years, I plan to stay here.
“I’m shocked by how little they care about the country and including the person you mentioned [Shapiro]. And I can’t imagine how someone like that could get an audience of people who claim to care about America, because he doesn’t, obviously.”
Shapiro has been vocal in his disapproval of Carlson’s viewpoints, especially after Carlson appeared to downplay the significance of the attack on Israel. Shapiro labeled Carlson’s comparison of the attack to drug overdose deaths in the U.S. as “idiocy” and “moral stupidity.” Additionally, Shapiro has accused Carlson of being “disingenuous” in his claims that Israel supporters are advocating for a U.S.-led war against Iran.
