As the clock struck midnight in Australia, tons of explosives erupted in a 12-minute display that focused on the Sydney Harbor Bridge. More than 1 million people — a number equivalent to one in five of the city’s residents — watched from the shore and from boats in the harbor.
“It’s total madness,” said German tourist Janna Thomas, who had waited in line since 7:30 a.m. to secure a prime waterfront location in the Sydney Botanic Garden. “It’s not so easy to find a good place to sit, but the view is incredible.”
In Auckland, the light rain that fell all day had cleared as forecast by midnight over the city of 1.7 million people before the countdown began on an illuminated digital display near the top of the 328-meter (1,076-foot) communications and observation tower.
The ongoing wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and heightened tensions in parts of the world, are affecting this year’s New Year’s Eve celebrations in a myriad of ways. Many cities were deploying extra security, and some places canceled New Year’s Eve events altogether.
More police than ever were deployed throughout Sydney. The waterfront has been the scene of heated pro-Palestinian protests after the sails of the Sydney Opera House were illuminated in the colors of the Israeli flag in response to the Oct. 7 attack by Palestinian militant group Hamas that triggered the war.
At the Vatican, Pope Francis recalled 2023 as a year marked by wartime suffering. During his traditional Sunday blessing from a window overlooking St. Peter’s Square, he offered prayers for “the tormented Ukrainian people and the Palestinian and Israeli populations, the Sudanese people and many others.”
“At the end of the year, we will have the courage to ask ourselves how many human lives have been shattered by armed conflict, how many dead and how much destruction, how much suffering, how much poverty,” the pontiff said. “Whoever has interest in these conflicts, listen to the voice of conscience.”
In Japan, temple bells rang out across the nation as people gathered at shrines and temples to welcome in the new year. At the Tsukiji Temple in Tokyo, visitors were given free hot milk and corn soup as they stood in line to strike a big bell, and a pipe-organ concert was held before a majestic altar.
In New York City, officials and party organizers said they were prepared to ensure the safety of tens of thousands of revelers expected to flood Times Square in the heart of midtown Manhattan.
Mayor Eric Adams said there were “no specific threats” to the annual New Year’s Eve bash, which was set to feature live performances from Flo Rida, Megan Thee Stallion and LL Cool J, as well as televised appearances from Cardi B and others. Organizers said in-person attendance was expected to return to pre-COVID levels, even as foot traffic around Times Square remains down slightly since the pandemic.
Amid near-daily protests sparked by the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, New York City police said they would expand the security perimeter around the party, creating a “buffer zone” that would allow them to head off potential demonstrations.
Officials also planned to monitor any protests with drones, the mayor said.
“We will be out here with our canines, on horseback, our helicopters, our boats,” Adams said. “But as we saw last year, after having no specific threats, we get a threat.”
During last year’s New Year’s Eve party, a machete-wielding man attacked three police officers a few blocks from Times Square.
Security also will also be heightened across European cities on Sunday.
In France, 90,000 law enforcement officers were set to be deployed, domestic intelligence chief Céline Berthon said Friday.
Of those, 6,000 will be in Paris, where French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said over 1.5 million people are expected to attend celebrations on the Champs-Elysees.
Darmanin cited a “very high terrorist threat” partly because of the Israel-Hamas war. Police for the first time will be able to use drones as part of security work, he said, and tens of thousands of firefighters and 5,000 soldiers would also be deployed.
New Year’s Eve celebrations in the French capital will center on the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, including DJ sets, fireworks and video projections on the Arc de Triomphe, highlighting “changes in the city and faces of the Games,” according to the press service of the City of Paris. Other planned events include “the largest Mexican wave ever performed” and a “giant karaoke.”
The security challenge ahead of the Olympics was highlighted when a tourist was killed in a knife attack near the Eiffel Tower on Dec. 2. Large-scale attacks — such as that at the Bataclan in 2015, when Islamic extremists invaded the music hall and shot up cafe terraces, killing 130 people — also loom large.
In Berlin, some 4,500 police officers are expected to keep order and avoid riots like a year ago. Police in the German capital issued a ban on the traditional use of fire crackers for several streets across the city. They also banned a pro-Palestinian protest in the Neukoelln neighborhood of the city, which has seen several pro-Palestinian riots since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.
In Russia, the country’s military actions in Ukraine have overshadowed end-of-year celebrations, with the usual fireworks and concert on Moscow’s Red Square canceled, as last year.
After shelling in the center of the Russian border city of Belgorod Saturday killed 24 people, some local authorities across Russia also canceled their usual firework displays, including in Vladivostok. Millions throughout Russia are expected to tune into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s New Year’s address.
In Muslim-majority Pakistan, the government has banned all New Year’s Eve celebrations as an act of solidarity with the Palestinians.
In an overnight televised message, caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar urged Pakistanis to “show solidarity with the oppressed people of Gaza” by beginning the new year with simplicity.
Kakar said Muslims across the world were saddened over Israel’s attacks on Gaza that resulted in the killings of thousands of innocent people.

Everyday Millionaires: Unraveling the True Nature of Financial Success
Unveiling a side of millionaires that often remains shrouded in stereotype, Chris Hogan, the esteemed author of ‘Everyday Millionaires’ and a renowned radio host, embarked on a quest to understand the underlying factors of financial success. A comprehensive survey reaching out to over 10,000 millionaires has divulged interesting facets of their fiscal journeys, debunking the myth of lavish and extravagant lifestyles.
A Shift in Perception
Contrary to the mainstream depiction of millionaires, Hogan’s research discovered that most of them are, in fact, hardworking, everyday individuals. They remain far removed from the ostentatious, flashy lifestyle often associated with them. The millionaire is no longer a faceless entity hiding behind giant mansions and luxury cars; they are the everyday people, quietly accumulating wealth through prudent decision-making and disciplined practices.
Commanding their Destiny
A striking revelation from the survey was that a significant majority, approximately 97% of these millionaires, believe they are the master of their destiny. This self-reliant and proactive mindset is substantially more prevalent among millionaires than in the general population, where only about 55% share this belief. It showcases the importance of a certain mindset in the journey to financial success. The belief in their ability to shape their future appears to be a cornerstone in their wealth accumulation strategy.
Millionaires: More Common Than You Think
The findings of Hogan’s survey sync well with the Credit Suisse 2021 Global Wealth Report, which suggests that over 1% of the world’s adults possess enough assets to be labelled as millionaires. It reinforces the idea that millionaires may not be as rare as one might imagine. The reality is much more grounded and less dramatized than the common perception.

(iSeeCars) – If you’re currently leasing a car and nearing the end of your lease term, you might be wondering what you should do next. Although new car inventory is rebounding, some new cars are selling above MSRP and car leases are also significantly more expensive than they were pre-pandemic. And while used car prices continue to fall, they are also more expensive than they were before the pandemic.
In light of the current new and used car market, buying out your car lease might be your smartest option. How does the process work and should you buy out your car lease? We have the important answers.
How a Lease Buyout Works
If you’re leasing a vehicle, most finance companies will include a buyout option as part of your lease agreement. Your auto lease contract will state the end-of-lease purchase price based on the car’s residual value, which was estimated when you signed your lease. Leasing companies will often contact you near the end of your lease term to communicate your lease-end options, which will include either the buyout option or returning the vehicle to the dealership.
Residual Value in Today’s Market
Dealers calculate a vehicle’s residual value based on its projected depreciation, and this value is locked in at the beginning of a car’s lease. And if the start of your lease was before the current supply chain issues, your car’s lease buyout price might be well-below current market value. That means that at the end of the lease contract you could purchase your leased vehicle and either sell it for a profit, or you can continue driving your lightly used car at a price well below market value.
Understanding the Value of Your Leased Car
Here’s how you can compare the vehicle’s residual value or buyout amount with its market price. To calculate the market value of the vehicle, you can use pricing tools like the iSeeCars free VIN Check, Kelley Blue Book, or Edmunds. Be sure to check your original contract for extra fees like a purchase option fee to determine the total amount you will be paying for the vehicle.
And be extra vigilant about dealer or finance company “add on” fees that were not specifically called out in your lease contract.
Leased Car Buyout Price: Other Factors to Consider
There are many factors that contribute to the buyout price of your car. This includes the vehicle’s make, model, residual value, and current value. The amount you paid for a down payment will also affect the buyout price.
Additional fees include:
- Buyout Fee/Purchase Option Charge: The leasing company will charge you for opting to buy the car rather than turning it in.
- State sales tax
- Registration fees
Can I Finance My Lease Buyout?
You can finance your lease buyout just as you would a regular used car purchase. The dealership will be eager to offer you financing, but you should also examine outside financing options as you would for a typical car loan. That means comparing interest rates from other lenders including banks and credit unions to see who will give you the best rate on your car lease buyout loan. Some lenders even offer auto loans specifically for lease buyouts. Keep in mind that the shorter your loan term, the more you will save on interest payments, but your monthly payments will be higher. That means you should opt for the shortest loan term you can afford. Also, your credit score will determine your loan rate, so make sure it is in good standing in order to get a competitive rate. If you have a poor credit score, you should consider having a co-signer.
Other Things to Consider
Anyone who has leased a car knows about the extra fees that often come at the end of the car lease. These fees include going over the mileage limits or any excess wear and tear your vehicle may have like scratches or dents. Buying out your lease will get you off the hook for these fees, so if either situation exists with your lease it is yet another reason to buy your car when the lease ends versus returning it.
Some lease agreements offer early lease buyouts which allow you to buy the vehicle before your term expires. Make sure you refer to your leasing agreement to see if you will have to pay extra fees for an early buyout. If there are fees involved, it’s likely a smarter decision to wait until the end of your lease.
Bottom Line
Buying out your vehicle lease can be a lucrative way to save on a lightly-used vehicle in today’s market. You’ll also avoid the low inventory and markups on new cars. What’s more, you can enjoy the savings that come along with buying a used car in today’s market while avoiding the guesswork about how the car was driven and maintained by its previous owner. You can even sell your vehicle to a private seller for a profit if you don’t want to keep driving it. So if you are nearing the end of your lease, you should at least consider purchasing your vehicle instead of taking out another lease or buying a new or used car to replace it.

NEW YORK (AP) — A husband and wife and their two sons, ages 10 and 12, were found dead in a suburban New York home Saturday in what authorities described as a murder-suicide by a police sergeant.
Police officials said Watson Morgan, a sergeant with the Bronxville Police Department, fatally shot his wife, Ornela Morgan, 43, and their sons before taking his own life.
The four bodies were discovered by police just after midnight on Friday at the family’s home in New City, a suburb of New York City, after Morgan failed to show up for his evening shift at the Bronxville Police Department.
“At this phase in the investigation it is believed that Watson killed his wife and two children, prior to killing himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” the Clarkstown Police Department said.
All four had gunshot wounds, police said. A handgun was recovered at the scene.
Watson, 49, began his career with the New York Police Department in 2000 before joining the force in Bronxville, a village in Westchester County, seven years later, according to a department biography. He was promoted to sergeant in 2016.
In a statement, Bronxville Police Chief Christopher Satriale said the killings left the department with “profoundly broken hearts at the senseless loss of innocent lives.”
“Our hearts go out to Sergeant Morgan’s extended family,” he said. “Our thoughts and prayers are also with his Bronxville Police Department family.”

(AP) — A Texas police chief says investigators hope surveillance video will lead to answers in the killings of an 18-year-old pregnant woman who disappeared before Christmas and her boyfriend, both of whom were found shot in the head in a car and may have been dead for days.
Police on Friday had not named a possible motive or suspects as family and friends mourned the deaths of Savanah Nicole Soto, 18, and Matthew Guerra, 22. Soto’s family has said she was overdue to deliver her baby and had been scheduled to have an induced labor when she went missing last week.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled both deaths homicides caused by gunshot wounds to the head.
The couple were found Tuesday in Guerra’s car outside a San Antonio apartment complex, a crime scene that San Antonio Police Chief William McManus originally described as “very, very perplexing.”
On Thursday, police asked the public for help identifying two people seen in surveillance video that included the car and was recorded before the bodies were found.
McManus would not say whether investigators believe the couple was dead when the video was taken.
“Detectives are hopeful that surveillance video will lead to the events leading up to their death,” McManus said.
The video shows Guerra’s car briefly pulling up next to a pickup truck at a spot close to where the couple was found, McManus said. A person gets out of the truck and approaches the driver’s side of the car. Another person is seen briefly stepping out of Guerra’s car, but McManus said they do not believe that person was one of the victims.
He has described the case as a capital murder investigation and called it “a heinous act.”
Soto had been scheduled to have an induced labor at a hospital last Saturday night, her family told KENS-TV. But her mother said she got no answer earlier that day when she knocked on the door of Soto’s apartment in the suburb of Leon Valley.
The family spent Christmas night searching the area. On Monday, Leon Valley police issued a missing-person alert for Soto and later said Guerra also could not be found.
At a vigil in San Antonio on Thursday, Savanah’s grandmother, Rachel Soto, described Savanah as a “funny girl” and said she loved everybody and loved to live life. She said her granddaughter was looking forward to becoming a mom for the first time, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
“I just pray to God that she took her baby with her and that she is at peace,” Rachel Soto said.

Homeownership & The Rising Influence of HOAs
In the quest for homeownership, prospective buyers must navigate an array of challenges, from escalating prices to a narrowing supply of available homes. Today, they face another pivotal factor: the homeowners association (HOA). These entities, governed by community-dwelling board members, institute rules and maintain shared spaces like parks, roads, and pools, funded by homeowners’ fees.
The Cost of Community Living
These fees can be substantial, occasionally hitting the $1,000 per month mark, and are prone to variations if the HOA’s budget underperforms, leading to special assessments that can drastically escalate homeowners’ costs. The prevalence of HOAs is significant, with 84% of newly built single-family homes in 2022 falling under an HOA’s jurisdiction. Therefore, understanding and assessing these organizations becomes a crucial step for buyers before signing on the dotted line.
HOAs: A Ubiquitous Presence
HOAs are found across various housing types, from single-family homes to co-operatives (co-ops) and condominiums (condos), each with unique ownership structures and levels of community engagement. Local governments often favor HOA-managed developments as they can ease municipal upkeep obligations while continuing to collect property taxes.
Vetting the HOA
Potential homeowners seeking to sidestep HOA fees might consider older homes outside of developments. However, for those contemplating properties within HOA territories, it is of paramount importance to thoroughly examine the organization’s health, rules, and financial stability before making a decision. The balance between enjoying communal benefits and enduring potential financial strain weighs heavily on the home-buying process, making the evaluation of HOAs a critical facet of home ownership.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz got an overview of the flood situation in Lower Saxony. The situation is sometimes tense and the water levels are high.
Hanover – Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) praised solidarity during a visit to flood areas in Lower Saxony. “The weather and nature challenge us,” said the SPD politician in Verden. “That’s why it’s important that we stick together in the country. This is happening everywhere through the responsible organizations, the police, the fire brigade, the technical relief organization, and the Bundeswehr has also provided support. Many volunteers are also doing everything they can to keep the consequences small and to protect people and houses.
“I see that the willingness goes far beyond those who are now working professionally or voluntarily in the aid organizations. Local citizens also help in a concrete way and ask what they can do,” said Scholz. “This is important. I believe that this shows that there is solidarity in our country and the willingness to stick together.” Scholz assured that the federal government would also support the affected states and municipalities “with its possibilities” in dealing with the situation.
Scholz had previously gotten an impression of the flood situation in northern Lower Saxony by taking a sightseeing flight in a helicopter. He was accompanied by Lower Saxony's Prime Minister Stephan Weil and the state's Interior Minister, Daniela Behrens (both SPD).
The situation in some of the flood areas in Lower Saxony remains tense. According to the authorities, no worsening is expected at the moment – but river levels could rise locally again in the new year.
Short break in the rain over New Year's Eve
The weather forecast is favorable. At the turn of the year there will be a short break in the rain with only local showers, said a meteorologist from the German Weather Service. However, the Lower Saxony State Office for Water Management, Coastal and Nature Conservation (NLWKN) announced in its situation report on Sunday morning that the precipitation was not relevant to floods.
According to the NLWKN, the flood peak, i.e. the highest water level during a flood, has been reached in Lower Saxony for the time being. However, there are still elevated water levels, especially in the lower reaches of rivers. It is not yet possible to speak of an easing of the flood situation.
In addition to Lower Saxony, the south of Saxony-Anhalt on the border with Thuringia and areas in North Rhine-Westphalia are also affected by floods. The Mansfeld-Südharz district in Saxony-Anhalt declared a disaster on Saturday.
In North Rhine-Westphalia there was a slight relaxation at the turn of the year. “Overall, the trend in water levels is declining,” said a spokesman for the North Rhine-Westphalia Ministry of the Environment when asked by the German Press Agency on Saturday. The water levels continued to fall on Sunday.
Visit of the Interior Minister planned
After Scholz, Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) will also visit the flood area in Lower Saxony on New Year's Day (3 p.m.). The SPD politician wants to find out about the situation in Hatten-Sandkrug near Oldenburg and talk to emergency services, as the ministry announced. She will be accompanied by Lower Saxony's Interior Minister Daniela Behrens (SPD), THW President Sabine Lackner and the President of the Federal Police, Dieter Romann.
In Hatten-Sandkrug they want to see, among other things, how a Federal Police helicopter transports large sand containers in order to strengthen the dikes and prevent dikes from breaking.
According to the fire department, the acute phase of securing the dike in Hatten-Sandkrug has already been completed, so that residents can return to their homes. Foot troops will continue to monitor the dike day and night in the coming week.
Expansion of disaster protection required
In view of the flooding in Lower Saxony, the city council is calling on the federal and state governments to significantly increase money for disaster protection. “The federal and state governments must significantly expand funding for flood and disaster protection again – permanently and not on an ad hoc basis through special programs. There have been too many savings in disaster protection in the past,” said Managing Director Helmut Dedy of the German Press Agency.
The SPD chairman Lars Klingbeil also spoke in the Berlin “Tagesspiegel” in principle in favor of “disaster protection and flood prevention being massively expanded”. dpa

VENTURA, Calif. (AP) — Southern California’s Ventura County issued a temporary evacuation warning Saturday for some coastal residents due to high surf that pounded the West Coast this week but has begun to calm down.
County officials warned that powerful waves, expected to reach up to 20 feet (6 meters) high, were forecast near a stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway, and the fire department told people to avoid coastal areas. Authorities lifted the evacuation warning in the afternoon.
People who gathered in the morning at Pierpont Beach in the city of Ventura to gaze at the churning waters were warned not to go beyond the large sand berms that were put up Friday to protect waterfront homes, and officials closed some streets.
Ventura Mayor Joe Schroeder called this week’s surf an “extraordinary event,” the likes of which he had not previously seen in his 14 years living in the city.
Fire department spokesperson Andy VanSciver said there were no reports Saturday of damage or injuries but the evacuation warning would remain in place until the waves recede. Earlier in the week, authorities rescued eight people who were injured by the surf.
Elsewhere along the California coast, flooding led to closures of some streets and bike paths. A high surf warning in the San Francisco Bay Area was downgraded to an advisory, with the National Weather Service saying wave heights had declined.
Some surfers took advantage of the waves in Seal Beach, a small city about 30 miles (45 kilometers) south of Los Angeles.
Miles Malohn, a 23-year-old from Irvine who has been surfing for about a decade, said it was one of the largest winter swells he has seen in years.
“It was pretty hectic out there for a few waves,” Malohn said. “You had to be really selective with which ones that you ride so that you don’t end up hurt or wiping out really bad.”

HSAs: The Underutilized Triple-Tax Benefit
Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), a triple-tax benefit instrument for individuals enrolled in high-deductible health plans, appear to be underutilized, with a mere 19% of participants investing their funds, according to a survey by the Plan Sponsor Council of America. The primary purpose of HSAs is to offset health-related expenses with their tax-free offerings, yet the majority of account holders treat them akin to traditional bank accounts, keeping their funds in cash rather than leveraging the investment opportunity.
The Triple Tax Benefit of HSAs
HSAs offer tax-free contributions, tax-free investment growth, and tax-free withdrawals for eligible medical expenses. The tax advantages are intended to incentivize individuals to save for future medical costs, particularly in retirement, much like how a 401(k) plan functions.
However, an optimal strategy of maintaining an amount equivalent to one’s annual insurance deductible in cash and investing the remainder isn’t being widely practiced. This is largely due to the inability of many people to afford current medical expenses out of pocket, leading them to regularly draw from their HSAs, thereby undermining potential investment growth.
Limited Investment Options and Employer Contribution
Approximately 40% of employers do not offer investment options for HSAs, only cash options. This limitation, however, doesn’t bind employees to their employer’s HSA offerings. It is entirely possible for an individual to open an account with a different provider to access investment options. Furthermore, while employers may contribute to an employee’s HSA, each account is owned and controlled by the individual, not the employer.
Navigating the Health Finance Landscape
Understanding and effectively utilizing HSAs is a key aspect of integrating health factors into financial planning. This involves budgeting for healthcare expenses, securing insurance early, preparing for end-of-life care, tracking historical healthcare usage, investing in health and wellness, and comprehending the tax benefits associated with HSAs. Health, in fact, has a direct impact on financial stress, with a strong correlation existing between physical fitness and reduced healthcare costs.
The Secure 2.0 legislation passed in 2022, bringing changes to retirement savings rules, including incentives for employees to contribute to workplace plans and matching student loan payments with contributions to retirement accounts. It also introduced emergency savings accounts in workplace plans, enabling tax-free rollovers of unused 529 account funds into a Roth IRA and penalty-free withdrawals for personal and family emergencies and for victims of domestic abuse.
As we enter 2024, it is crucial that individuals maximize the benefits of HSAs and other health-related financial instruments, to ensure future medical costs are adequately covered and financial stress is minimized.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Albuquerque Fire Rescue (AFR) responded to a building fire in the southeast part of the city on Sunday.
Around 9 a.m., AFR was called to the area of Trumbull and Louisiana. Upon their arrival, firefighters said they were met with flames and smoke coming from the interior of the building.
Due to previous fires and the instability of the structure, responders decided to take a defensive approach.
They managed to get the flames under control within 10 minutes, but the building was a total loss.
No injuries have been reported. An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the fire.

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

Helmut Marko Doesn’t Think Red Bull Can Repeat the 2023 Dominance Again
Sabyasachi Biswas
|Published December 31, 2023
Red Bull had a mega 2023 F1 season as they claimed 21 wins in 22 races. Max Verstappen picked up a whopping 19 of them. Formula 1 has never seen such domination before as the Milton Keynes outfit redefined supremacy by a whole new level. Their 2023 campaign even bettered their 2022 F1 season which saw them claim 17 wins in 22 races. However, Helmut Marko believes that his team can no longer repeat their 2023 performance in the coming years.

When asked if Red Bull can repeat their performances of 2023, Marko said during an interview with OE24, “There won’t be another season like this one again. But one should assume that our competitors will go into the 2024 season better prepared.”

The Red Bull taskmaster’s prediction is likely to be right as rivals begin to catch up when the rules remain stable. Even though they weren’t anywhere close to matching the RB-19’s pace in 2023, Red Bull’s rivals are likely to develop their cars significantly over the winter.
Since Ferrari and McLaren had an outstanding finish to the 2023 season, they are the teams that are most likely to close the gap to Red Bull. At the same time, the likes of Mercedes and Aston Martin cannot be ruled out as well. Both teams showcased in 2023 that they have the ability to take Red Bull to the limit on multiple occasions.
How did Red Bull dominate this year?
Much of the credit for Red Bull’s dominance goes to Max Verstappen who was nothing but clinical with his performances. From the very beginning, he began to show his potential with two wins after the first three races.
Interestingly, even Sergio Perez was equally strong at the beginning. However, things turned haywire for him as Verstappen took control and had ten back-to-back race wins from Miami to Monza. This made Christian Horner and his team understand that they are way too superior in 2023.

Therefore, they halted their car development for the year and kept it for 2024. Despite this, the Milton-Keynes-based team won all the races this season except the Singapore GP. Therefore, it is speculated that the Austrian team will hold on to their advantage to quite an extent till the end of the current regulations.
Apart from 21 wins, Red Bull Racing claimed 14 pole positions, 30 podiums, and 860 points. They scored more points than the combined 815 of second-placed Mercedes (409) and third-placed Ferrari (406).
Therefore, even if Red Bull fail to replicate their domination of 2023, they are still likely to be the team to beat as long as they do not have a massive slip-up.

A new, lightweight foam made from carbon nanotubes could be the future of protective helmets:
Researchers have developed a new, lightweight foam made from carbon nanotubes that, when used as a helmet liner, absorbed the kinetic energy caused by an impact almost 30 times better than liners currently used in US military helmets. The foam could prevent or significantly reduce the likelihood of concussion in military personnel and sportspeople.
Among sportspeople and military vets, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the major causes of permanent disability and death. Injury statistics show that the majority of TBIs, of which concussion is a subtype, are associated with oblique impacts, which subject the brain to a combination of linear and rotational kinetic energy forces and cause shearing of the delicate brain tissue.
[...] For the current study, Thevamaran built upon his previous research into vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) foams – carefully arranged layers of carbon cylinders one atom thick – and their exceptional shock-absorbing capabilities. Current helmets attempt to reduce rotational motion by allowing a sliding motion between the wearer's head and the helmet during impact. However, the researchers say this movement doesn't dissipate energy in shear and can jam when severely compressed following a blow. Instead, their novel foam doesn't rely on sliding layers.
VACNT foam sidesteps this shortcoming via its unique deformation mechanism. Under compression, the VACNTs undergo collective sequentially progressive buckling, from increased compliance at low shear strain levels to a stiffening response at high strain levels. The formed compression buckles unfold completely, enabling the VACNT foam to accommodate large shear strains before returning to a near initial state when the load is removed.
The researchers found that at 25% precompression, the foam exhibited almost 30 times higher energy dissipation in shear – up to 50% shear strain – than polyurethane-based elastomeric foams of similar density.
[...] The researchers had previously demonstrated the VACNT foam's outstanding thermal conductivity and diffusivity, which would enable a helmet liner made out of the foam to remain cool in hot environments. Beyond its use in helmets, VACNT foam could be used in electronic packaging and systems to prevent shocks and keep electronics cool.
The study was published in the journal Experimental Mechanics.

Cruz Azul started the week with a lot of stardom, those from the capital of the country just received the call from Alexis Vega's entourage to look for a place within the club, the club's position was clear and fleeting, they have a place for the former national team in his team and in a matter of hours they reached an agreement with the forward and overnight they established a purchase price with Chivas, a negotiation that is still in force but has been stopped by the player's decision.
For more news about Mexican soccer
The reality is that there is annoyance within Cruz Azul with the ways of Vega and his surroundings, they do not understand why the offer was made if they themselves were going to stop the transfer. Right now, the light blues are a few hours away from making the transfer if the player does not give an immediate yes and this being the most viable scenario, the capitalians are clear about the player for whom they will move chips to take the place that Alexis discarded, Carlos candle.
MedioTiempo reports that Diego Alonso's immediate idea is to have an approach with Carlos Vela to find out if he would like to join the Cruz Azul team this winter. Vela is a free agent and is currently vacationing peacefully with his family in Europe, although, starting January, he will begin the search for a team in which to close his career and the celestials want to apply. Within LAFC Carlos initially received a salary of 6 million dollars per year, after the renewal he had a reduction to 2 million, the machine could offer him an average figure between both salaries, the best salary in the history of Cruz Azul.

The Bengals (8-8), fighting for their own playoff lives, led by 10 early but found themselves trailing 25-17 when Butker hit the last of his field goals — a 46-yarder through blustery wind — with 2:59 remaining in the game.
With one last chance, Jake Browning hit Tyler Boyd to convert a long fourth down and get into Kansas City territory, but back-to-back sacks by George Karlaftis and Chris Jones gave the Chiefs eight on the day and ended the Bengals' comeback hopes.
Browning finished with 197 yards passing and a touchdown. Joe Mixon ran for 65 yards and had the TD reception.
Butker converted from 54, 43, 27, 24, 48 and 46 yards, accounting for the game’s final 18 points.
The Bengals and Chiefs are accustomed to playing high-stakes games when the weather turns frigid, meeting for down-to-the-wire nail-biters in each of the past two AFC championship games. And they are usually accompanied by plenty of trash talk, be it from elected officials or — in the case this past week — players such as the Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase.
The animosity usually spills onto the field, too. Midway through the second quarter, Chase and Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed got into a heated argument, and eventually a team-wide scrum resulted in offsetting personal fouls.
The Bengals jumped ahead 10-7 when an 8 1/2-minute drive resulted in a field goal and a 6 1/2-minute march ended in Mixon's touchdown catch. Cincinnati then got the ball back when Trey Hendrickson ran right around rookie right tackle Wanya Morris, stripped Mahomes from behind and Sam Hubbard was there to pounce on the loose ball.
Pass interference on Sneed in the end zone set up Browning's 1-yard TD run.
Butker's first field goal got the Chiefs within 17-10, and they had a chance to take the lead when Mahomes saw Marquez Valdes-Scantling wide open on their next possession. But yet another dropped pass — the NFL-leading 40th by Kansas City this season — forced the Chiefs to settle for a field goal to trail 17-13 at the break.
As the Chiefs' defense stiffened in the second half, their offense began showing signs of life.
They stuffed the Bengals on fourth-and-1 at the Kansas City 6, then drove 82 yards for Butker's third field goal. And after the Bengals had to punt, Mahomes hit Rashee Rice for 67 yards to set up Butker's chip shot and give the Chiefs the lead for good.
INJURIES
Cincinnati WR Tee Higgins left in the second quarter with a hamstring injury. He returned to the game but didn't have another catch, finishing with one for 19 yards.
Kansas City WR Justin Watson hurt his chest in the third quarter but returned to the game.
UP NEXT
Bengals: Host Cleveland next weekend.
Chiefs: At the Los Angeles Chargers next weekend.

Indian Stock Market Experiences Minor Dip, Experts Forecast Potential Resurgence
In a slight dip following a five-session surge, the Indian stock market experienced a minor decline on December 29th, the dawn of the January trading series and the finale of 2023. The benchmark indices, BSE Sensex and Nifty 50, recorded marginal drops, closing at 72,240 and 21,731 respectively. The relatively small decline, which caused a Doji candlestick pattern to appear on the daily chart, signifies market indecision.
Consolidation and Potential Upward Momentum
Market experts, however, suggest that this is a period of consolidation, a pause before the market potentially resumes its upward trajectory. The Nifty 50, in particular, is projected to reach the 22,000 mark in the short term, with strong support at levels of 21,700 and 21,500. This notion of consolidation and potential growth is seen as healthy, following the recent gains the market has experienced.
Broader Markets Outshine Benchmarks
Interestingly, the broader markets managed to outperform the benchmark indices. Both the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices posted gains of 0.8% and 0.6% respectively, easing the overall market pressure. While the Bank Nifty also experienced a dip, the weekly trend remains bullish, hinting towards the potential for new highs.
Key Resistance and Support Levels
Data on Call and Put options suggest that the key resistance levels for the Nifty stand at 22,000, while the key support levels are pegged at 21,500. The considerable open interest observed at these strikes serves as a clear indicator of these levels. As the new year ushers in, market watchers will be keenly observing these indices, looking for signs of the market’s next move.

(The Hill) — Taylor Swift and Beyoncé set the music world on fire in 2023 with massive, globe-spanning tours, and their influence seeped into the world of politics as lawmakers and other political figures named-checked them.
Here are a few of the most noteworthy moments in which the worlds of politics and pop culture converged over the last year.
Jason Aldean and “Try That in a Small Town”

Country singer Jason Aldean’s song “Try That in a Small Town” topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in July despite heavy controversy.
The song faced backlash for both its lyrics, which include lines like, “Cuss out a cop, spit in his face, Stomp on the flag and light it up, Yeah, ya think you’re tough, Well, try that in a small town, See how far ya make it down the road,” and its music video.
The video was filmed in front of a Tennessee courthouse where a Black man was lynched in the 1920s. Country Music Television (CMT) pulled the music video, drawing a negative reaction from Aldean himself on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous,” Aldean said.
Republicans like former President Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) came to Aldean’s defense amid the controversy.
“Jason Aldean is a fantastic guy who just came out with a great new song. Support Jason all the way. MAGA!!!” Trump posted on his Truth Social account.
Beyoncé gets honored on the House floor

The “Formation” singer, who has had a packed year with “The Renaissance World Tour” and the release of a film of that tour, was honored in March on the House floor by Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif).
“I rise today to commemorate the end of Black History Month and the beginning of Women’s History Month by honoring an individual who represents both so well,” Garcia said.
“She’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she’s now and forever the moment,” he added.
Garcia also referred to the “Alien Superstar” herself as a role model who “stood up for voting rights, for feminism, for women and girls, for my community — the LGBTQ+ community.”
“For my generation and so many others, she simply is the greatest of all time,” he continued.
RuPaul and anti-drag queen bills
RuPaul helps present the Emmy for outstanding limited or anthology series at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, Sept. 12, 2022, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
The self-proclaimed “queen of drag” had some thoughts on recent anti-drag show legislation that he shared back in March.
In a video on Instagram, the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” host said that bills aimed at drag performances were a tactic to distract from more important issues.
“Hey, look over there! A classic distraction technique — distracting us away from the real issues that they were voted into office to focus on: jobs, health care, keeping our children safe from harm at their own school,” RuPaul said.
“But we know that bullies are incompetent at solving real issues,” the host continued.
“They look for easy targets so they can give the impression of being effective,” he said.
Dylan Mulvaney and the Bud Light backlash

Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney partnered with Anheuser-Busch in April for an advertisement that included her posing with a personalized Bud Light can, which drew negative reactions from conservatives.
Critics called for protests against Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch, while Anheuser-Busch also faced criticism from those who thought it did not fully support Mulvaney.
Singer Kid Rock shot multiple cases of Bud Light with what appeared to be a semi-automatic rifle in an Instagram video.
“F— Bud Light and f— Anheuser-Busch,” he said in the video.
“I’ve been offline for a few weeks, and a lot has been said about me,” Mulvaney said in a video on Instagram and TikTok a few weeks after the backlash. “It was so loud that I didn’t even feel part of the conversation. So, I decided to take the back seat and let them tucker themselves out.”
“But then I remembered that nearly 13 million people at some point enjoyed me enough to hit the follow button on these apps. And I was like wait, wait, wait, I want to talk to those people,” Mulvaney added.
Eminem objects to Vivek Ramaswamy using his music

In August, rapper Eminem asked entrepreneur and 2024 GOP presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to stop using his music on the campaign trail through his music licensor, Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI).
The letter from BMI revealed that Ramaswamy’s campaign and BMI had a previous music licensing agreement for the Detroit rapper’s music and came after Ramaswamy sang along to “Lose Yourself” at the Iowa State Fair earlier in August.
“To the American people’s chagrin, we will have to leave the rapping to the real slim shady,” a Ramaswamy campaign statement said.
Taylor Swift bests Trump, Biden on net favorability

This year was the year of Taylor Swift, quite literally, as she was recently named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year.”
In a recent NBC News poll, the pop sensation topped a list of celebrities when it comes to net favorability, besting political figures including President Biden, Vice President Harris, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Trump.
Forty percent of registered voters in the poll said that they have a positive view of the millennial icon.

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian, alongside Eric Esrailian, a physician and producer, urged the president to “stop the Armenian genocide” in a September Rolling Stone opinion piece.
“We are Armenian,” the piece read. “We are the descendants of Armenian Genocide survivors, and we do not want to be talking about the recognition or commemoration of yet another genocide in the future.”
Esrailian and Kardashian characterized Azerbaijan’s government as using “starvation as a weapon against the Armenian population” via blockading “the only lifeline between the indigenous Christian Armenians of Artsakh (also known as Nagorno-Karabakh) and the rest of the world.”
“Blocking human rights groups, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the hateful rhetoric accompanying the blockade are signs of genocidal intent,” the piece said.
Paramore and Rep. Maxwell Frost

In June, Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) attended a concert for the pop-rock band Paramore and had a few choice words for his state’s governor, Ron DeSantis (R).
While at the concert in Washington, D.C., Frost was caught on video on stage yelling “f— Ron DeSantis” and “f— facism.”
He later retweeted the video, saying that he “said what I said.”
When Frost came on stage, the band’s lead singer, Hayley Williams, lauded the young House member, who is the first member of his generation in Congress.
“Do you see this? Do you see the future right here?” Williams said.
Jimmy Kimmel pranks ex-Rep. Santos
Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) holds a press conference in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, November 30, 2023.
Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel decided to have a bit of fun with embattled former House member Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) after his ouster.
Santos started selling personal videos on the platform Cameo after he was expelled from the House earlier this month. Kimmel told his show audience that he had ordered videos with prank scripts for Santos to read.
“George please congratulate my friend Gary Fortuna for winning the Clearwater Florida beef eating contest. He ate over six pounds of ground beef in under 30 minutes – which was a new record!” Kimmel wrote in one prank script. “He’s not feeling great right now, but the doctor thinks he will be released from the hospital soon. Please wish him a speedy recovery!”
Santos responded to the prompt in the Cameo video.
“I know you’re feeling a little under the weather, but I hear from a great source that the doctors said you’ll be released from the hospital soon and recover well,” Santos said in a video. “Look, have a speedy recovery, and then enjoy the festivities of the end of the year. Bye.”
Maren Morris says she’s leaving country music

Singer Maren Morris announced in September she would step out of the country genre as a result of the “the Trump years” and their effect on the style of music.
“After the Trump years, people’s biases were on full display,” Morris said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “It just revealed who people really were and that they were proud to be misogynistic and racist and homophobic and transphobic.”
Morris also referenced “Try That in a Small Town” and its popularity with conservatives, saying, “People are streaming these songs out of spite.”
“It’s not out of true joy or love of the music. It’s to own the libs. And that’s so not what music is intended for. Music is supposed to be the voice of the oppressed — the actual oppressed. And now it’s being used as this really toxic weapon in culture wars,” Morris said.
Trump isn’t pleased with Rihanna’s Super Bowl performance

To the excitement of many, superstar and business magnate Rihanna performed at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show.
Former President Trump, who had feuded with the pop star, wasn’t a fan of the “Rude Boy” singer’s performance.
“EPIC FAIL: Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst Halftime Show in Super Bowl history — This after insulting far more than half of our Nation, which is already in serious DECLINE, with her foul and insulting language,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Also, so much for her ‘Stylist!’” he added.
Trump seemed to reference the “Work” singer’s act of spraypainting a car with the words “F**k Trump” back in 2020. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) had pointed the incident out earlier in the week on Truth Social.
“Why is the NFL showcasing this crap? Rihanna SHOULD NOT be the halftime performer!!” Jackson wrote.
Paris Hilton’s advocacy work
Paris Hilton is seen in front of the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, April 27, 2023.
Reality television star Paris Hilton made a visit to Capitol Hill in April to push for a bill to regulate “troubled teen” facilities.
Hilton was joined by Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) and Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) at the Capitol, where they discussed the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act. The bill has the aim of creating federal data collection and reporting standards for the aforementioned facilities, which Hilton said she was a victim of.
“I witnessed and experienced sexual abuse from adult staff as well as endured verbal and emotional abuse daily. I was yelled at, dehumanized, silenced and stripped of any semblance of privacy,” she said.
“When I attempted to tell my parents about the abuse on the phone, staff would stop and immediately hang up the phone and punish me. On top of this, you had no access to the outside doors, no sunlight, no fresh air. These were considered privileges. What I went through will haunt me for the rest of my life.”
Kevin Spacey and Tucker Carlson

Actor Kevin Spacey decided to make an appearance as his character Frank Underwood from the show “House of Cards” in a recent interview on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, with ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The two men discussed their ousters from Netflix and Fox News, as well as the current political environment.
“It is bizarre that they decided to publicly cut ties with me on allegations alone; allegations that have now been proven false because I don’t think there’s any question: Netflix exists because of me,” Spacey said. “I put them on the map. And they tried to put me on the ground.”
Spacey was kicked off the show in 2017 in the wake of facing multiple sexual harassment allegations, even from “House of Cards” crew members.
Judy Blume slams DeSantis

Author Judy Blume slammed the Florida governor over book bans.
“Teachers are under fire, librarians are threatened,” Blume said at Variety‘s “Power of Women” luncheon in April. “They are criminalizing teachers and librarians. It’s not just that they’re threatening their jobs, they’re threatening them.”
“They could go to jail, all because they stand up for the rights of the students they teach. All because they refuse to give in to fear,” Blume continued. “I’ve known librarians who have saved lives by handing the right book to the right child at the right time. And for that one kid, finding themselves in a book can be a lifesaver.”
The author also referred to DeSantis as “a governor who wants to control everything, starting with what kids can think, what they can know, what they can question, what they can learn, and now even what they can talk about.”

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — LeBron James thought he added to his legacy with another big shot on his 39th birthday.
The NBA’s replay center had a different view, causing James to call out the league’s replay process.
James made what he believed was a game-tying 3-pointer with 3.3 seconds remaining as the Los Angeles Lakers were playing on the road against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the top team in the Western Conference.
However, it was ruled a 2-pointer and upheld via replay from the league’s replay center in Secaucus, New Jersey, and the Lakers lost 108-106 on Saturday night.
“It’s obviously a 3,” James said. “My foot is behind the line. I mean, you can see the space between the front of my foot and the 3-point line. You can clearly see a white, the wood on the floor, there’s a space in between the front of my foot and the 3-point line. So, you know, Stevie Wonder can see that, champ.”
James, who spent the day in bed with a non-COVID-19 illness, scored 26 points, 10 in the fourth quarter. But it was his shot, and the subsequent replay, that caused his ire toward the league’s replay center.
“They said it was out of their hands,” James said of the explanation he got from officials. “The Secaucus, whatever, over there in the replay center or whatever, somebody over there eating a ham sandwich or somebody made the call.”
In a pool report after the game, official Tony Brothers said the review wasn’t conclusive enough to overturn the call on the floor.
“The play was ruled a 2-point field goal on the floor during live play,” Brothers said. “After video review, there wasn’t clear and conclusive evidence to overturn it from a 2 to a 3, and that’s why it stood as a 2-point field goal.”
James felt the video evidence was clear enough. As soon as Brothers announced the ruling to the in-arena crowd, James immediately went to the scorer’s table and pointed to the replay monitor.
“It’s super frustrating in the sense of what the hell we got a replay for?” James said. “What do we have replay for if even the replay gets it wrong? It’s like, who’s the part of the replay center? Like, do we got robots in there that’s making the Teslas? What’s going on? If you don’t see that, that is clear, that is clear.”
The frustration came after James said he woke up with an illness and stayed in bed until 4:30 p.m. when he got ready to head to the arena.
“I took a few more naps and then I finally just got out of bed at like 4:30, got a shower,” James said. “It helped me a little bit. Caught the 5 o’clock bus and, I guess, felt OK to play. I felt I could make some plays to help us win the ballgame.”
The Lakers play Sunday afternoon for the second of a back-to-back in New Orleans. James said he was unsure if he’d be play to play Sunday and would wait to see how he feels a day later.

Polish President Andrzej Duda addressed a New Year's message to the people of the country, in which he did not say a word about Ukraine, its support and conflict with it, but criticized the new government, the Polish financial portal writes on December 31 Money.
“Eight years later, the parliamentary majority has changed, the prime minister has changed, the government has changed. But the main task facing the country’s leadership has not changed: the need to take care of the security of our homeland and the country’s inhabitants,” Duda said.
He began his speech by saying that 2024, like the previous one, will be marked by concern for security. Poland must constantly strengthen and modernize its army and military alliances. Deviations from this policy are not permitted. Duda assured that, as head of the armed forces, he is always ready to cooperate with the government in the field of security. In addition, the president is “ready to cooperate with the new government on issues that are important for Poland.”
“But I am also prepared for the situation that the government will not want such cooperation,” he added.
The Polish President also recalled that 2024 marks an important anniversary – the 25th anniversary of Poland's accession to NATO and the 20th anniversary of Poland's accession to the European Union. According to Duda, Poland’s presence in NATO and the EU is the basis of Polish security. On the sidelines of international forums, he called for the need to defend the interests of the country.
Duda’s New Year’s address, focused on the country’s internal affairs without mentioning Ukraine, is not the first in Europe. On the same day, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that 2023 was significant for the country, but not at all for the amount of support for Ukraine with money and weapons. He spoke about government measures that are strengthening the country's economy, and promised future prosperity for residents and a reduction in inflation.
Duda especially highlighted the moment of confrontation with the government, since he has not yet found an agreement with the cabinet of ministers headed by Donald Tusk. In particular, on December 19, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced the approved resignations of the heads of all the country's intelligence services and the appointment of new ones. On December 20, the new government removed the heads of state media.
Radical personnel changes in Polish departments began on December 13, when Polish President Andrzej Duda swore in Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The ministers of the new government were sworn in behind him. On the same day, Tusk ordered the dismissal of the heads of all five Polish special services.

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

(NEXSTAR) — Select batches of a baby formula product have been recalled due to concerns about possible bacterial contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced.
The recall affects 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce cans of Nutramigen Powder, produced by Reckitt Benckiser’s Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN) and distributed to U.S. retailers over the summer. Nutramigen Powder is a specialty formula designed for infants allergic to cow’s milk.
The company said it issued the recall due to the possibility of Cronobacter sakazakii contamination in products sampled outside the U.S.
“All products in question went through extensive testing by MJN and tested negative for the bacteria,” MJN said in its press release.
Cronobacter is a germ that can cause a dangerous blood infection known as sepsis, and it can also “make the linings surrounding the brain and spinal cord swell,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Infants younger than two months old, born prematurely or with weakened immune systems are most likely to get sick from the bacteria.
No illnesses have been reported to date, and MJN said it believes most of the products have already been consumed.
The affected products are listed below. They have a “Use By Date” of “1 Jan 2025” and a UPC Code of either 300871239418 or 300871239456.
- ZL3FHG (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FMH (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FPE (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FQD (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FRW (19.8 oz cans)
- ZL3FXJ (12.6 oz cans)
Consumers who purchased the affected products should throw them away or contact MJN for a refund. Anyone with questions can call 866-534-9986 or email consumer.relations@rb.com for assistance.

The Ugandan athlete Benjamin Kiplagatwho represented his country during nearly two decades of racing in which he specialized in the 3,000 meters steeplechase, was found dead early this Sunday in western Keni, after being stabbed, the Kenyan Police reported.
“We are still investigating the incident to determine what really happened, but what we can confirm is that the man found dead is an international athlete named Benjamin Kiplagat“, the Police Commander of Moiben Sub-County, in Uasin Gishu County (west), Stephen Okal, told local media today.
Neighbors reported that a vehicle had crashed to the Police, who arrived at the scene around 5:00 a.m. local time, according to the agent.
Inside the car they found a body that had been stabbed in the chest. and had a deep cut on his neck, Okal explained.
The vehicle was on the road that connects the city of Eldoret, the county capital, and the town of Iten, where Kiplagat, 34, had been training, Kenyan media reported. Many runners historically grew up in that area and, in fact, athletes from all over the region train in Iten.
Kiplagat won the silver medal in the 3,000 meters hurdles at the XII World Junior Athletics Championships held in Poland in 2008 and won bronze at the XVIII African Athletics Championships in 2012 in Benin, in addition to representing Uganda in several Games. Olympics and other competitions. World Athletics, the governing body of athletics worldwide, was “shocked and saddened” by Kiplagat's death and sent condolences to his family, friends and colleagues through the social network X (formerly Twitter).
This news came two years after the murder in October 2021 at the age of 25 of the Kenyan athlete Agnes Jebet Tirop, women's 10-kilometer road record holder and 5,000-meter specialist.
The Kenyan Police found Tirop's lifeless body on October 13 of that year after being stabbed inside her house in Iten, events in which the main suspect is her husband Ibrahim Rotich. Rotich, who was accused of murder and pleaded not guilty, was released on bail last November after two years in preventive detention and awaiting the start of the trial.
Tirop's murder put the spotlight on the multiple documented cases of sexist violence against Kenyan athletes.

Harris had not hit the century mark rushing this season, his closest coming when he ran for 99 yards against Cincinnati. But he combined with Jaylen Warren for a running punch that Seattle struggled to stop.
Harris averaged 4.5 yards per carry and reached the 100-yard mark for the first time since Week 17 of last season against Baltimore. Warren added another 75 yards rushing and scored on a 18-yard run in the first quarter.
Harris scored on a 9-yard touchdown run in the second quarter breaking several tackles on his way to the goal line before a final lunge to break the plane. In the third quarter, Harris scored on a 4-yard run with a big assist from his linemen pushing the pile into the end zone to give the Steelers a 24-17 lead.
Pittsburgh thrived against Seattle’s run defense that has been awful for more than half the season and finished with 202 yards rushing and a season-high 468 total yards. Pittsburgh was the sixth straight opponent to rush for at least 135 yards against the Seahawks.
Quarterback Mason Rudolph was 18 of 24 for 274 yards and hit the big throws when needed, none more important than a 34-yard completion to George Pickens on third-and-6 early in the fourth quarter. Pickens made a terrific diving finger-tip catch and led to Chris Boswell's 26-yard field goal that gave the Steelers a 27-20 lead with 7:07 left.
Rudolph also hit Pickens for 24 yards with two minutes left and Seattle desperately needing a stop. Pickens had seven catches for 131 yards.
Seattle (8-8) had its two-game win streak snapped and while the Seahawks weren’t eliminated from the postseason, they will need a victory and a lot of help in Week 18.
Geno Smith threw for 290 yards and a 12-yard TD to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first half. Kenneth Walker III added 53 yards rushing and a 13-yard TD in the first half, but the Seahawks settled for three field goals in the second half and Smith committed one big turnover.
Nick Herbig forced and recovered a fumble sacking Smith with seven minutes left, giving the Steelers possession at the Seattle 16 and Boswell’s 21-yard field goal with 4:31 left pushed the Pittsburgh lead to 30-20.
INJURIES
Seattle took two major hits to its offensive line. Starting right tackle Abe Lucas played the entire first half, but went to the locker room early before the second quarter ended and was ruled out with a knee injury when the second half started.
Three plays into the third quarter, center Evan Brown had to be helped off the field and was ruled out with a concussion.
UP NEXT
Steelers: Pittsburgh will be at Baltimore in Week 18.
Seahawks: Seattle closes out the regular season at Arizona next week.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Kirby Smart didn’t need to do much to convince his Georgia Bulldogs of the importance of the Orange Bowl.
“As long as winning matters, we’re gonna compete like hell at Georgia,” Smart said.
The Bulldogs entered Saturday night’s matchup against Florida State essentially at full strength. The Seminoles, who were missing at least a dozen of their key contributors because of opt outs and players in the transfer portal, did not.
The result was what you might expect: The sixth-ranked Bulldogs crushed previously undefeated and fourth-ranked Florida State 63-3 in the Orange Bowl in a matchup of teams missing out on the College Football Playoff.
Smart said the result of the game was indicative of a larger problem in the sport.
“People need to see what happened tonight, and they need to fix this,” he said. “It needs to be fixed. It’s very unfortunate that they (the Seminoles), who have a good football team, are in the position they’re in. Everybody can say it’s their fault. Everybody can say that we had our guys and they didn’t have their guys. I can listen to all that. But college football has got to decide what they want.
“It’s really unfortunate for those kids on that side of the sideline that had to play in that game that didn’t have their full arsenal. And it affected the game, 100 percent.”
Carson Beck passed for 203 yards and two touchdowns and backup QB Gunnar Stockton passed for two more scores for Georgia, which scored touchdowns on nine of 12 drives and gained 673 total yards against the short-handed Seminoles.
The Bulldogs (13-1) were used to competing for championships this time of year, having won the last two national titles. But Georgia lost to Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship game — the Bulldogs’ first loss since the 2021 season — and missed out on one of the four spots in the CFP rankings. Instead, they settled for the seventh New Year’s Six bowl appearance in program history.
Florida State (13-1) failed to make the CFP cut despite winning the Atlantic Coast Conference title, and because of transfers, opt-outs and injuries, the Seminoles were without players who were responsible for 97% of their passing yards, 88% of their rushing yards and 84% of their receptions this season.
The Bulldogs charged out to a 39-point halftime lead, the largest in the bowl’s 90-year history, beating West Virginia’s 29-point halftime lead over Clemson in 2012. It was also the largest margin of defeat in Florida State’s history.
Beck, who had touchdown passes of 12 and 2 yards, did not play in the second half. Stockton, a freshman, started in the third quarter and immediately ushered another touchdown drive. He finished with 96 yards passing and 46 yards rushing, and the Bulldogs became the first program to score at least 55 points in back-to-back bowl games.
The Bulldogs’ Kendall Milton was the game’s MVP after rushing for 104 yards on nine carries with two touchdowns. Daijun Edwards added two more rushing scores and 62 yards. Both were part of a senior class that picked up its school-record 50th win.
“You want to take every game serious no matter what the level is,” Milton said. “You’ve got to prepare the right way because this is top level college football on any given week, so we took that very personally.”
In what could be his last game for the Bulldogs, receiver Ladd McConkey had 49 all-purpose yards. He scored on a 27-yard rush in which he caught a pass from Beck behind the line of scrimmage, looked to complete another pass but took off running instead, weaving through stumbling Florida State defenders and into the end zone to put Georgia up 28-3 in the second quarter.
Georgia players knew the story of the team on the other side of the field: The Seminoles entered the game having beaten all 13 teams on their schedule, including then-No. 15 Louisville in the ACC title game, but were left out of the College Football Playoff partly due to a season-ending leg injury to starting quarterback Jordan Travis. Florida State became the first Power Five conference champion to finish with an undefeated record and still be left out of the playoff.
“This is a championship level team,” Florida State coach Mike Norvell said. “You go back and watch 13 games and that’s who you saw. I am fully confident in what this team did throughout this year and what they could have achieved. It was not the path that was set out for us. … We’ll never know.”
In the week leading up to the bowl game, Georgia players expressed their understanding of the Seminoles’ frustrations, while acknowledging that they, too, felt slighted.
Smart had lobbied for the selection committee to consider the Bulldogs’ full resume in making their final decision: Georgia won 29 straight games before the SEC title matchup and finished the season with the eighth-best offense in the country and the No. 9 defense.
It wasn’t enough. And the Bulldogs vented frustrations in the Orange Bowl — possession by possession.
THE TAKEAWAY
Georgia: As dominant as the Bulldogs were on offense, their defense was just as impactful. They intercepted Seminoles quarterback Brock Glenn twice and recovered two fumbles. They also limited Florida State to 63 yards rushing.
Florida State: The Seminoles were outmatched in all three phases as they fell short of completing their first 14-win season since 2013. Glenn struggled in his second career start, completing 9 of 26 passes for 139 yards.
UP NEXT
Georgia: The Bulldogs open the 2024 season against Clemson in Atlanta. Beck is returning for his senior season.
Florida State: The Seminoles will start the 2024 season against Georgia Tech in Dublin, Ireland, marking the second time that two ACC teams have opened the season in Ireland.

Accreditation Thresholds and the Democratization of Private Investments
Recent trends have illuminated a significant shift in the investment landscape of the United States. An increasing number of Americans, no longer confined to the elite echelons of wealth, are gaining access to investment opportunities traditionally reserved for the affluent. These include private equity funds, hedge funds, venture capital funds, and stocks in early-stage companies, domains that necessitate accredited investor status.
The Threshold of Accreditation
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines accredited investors as individuals with an annual income of at least $200,000, or $300,000 with a spouse, or a net worth of at least $1 million, either alone or jointly with a spouse. These criteria, unadjusted for inflation over decades, have been designed to shield investors from the elevated risks associated with private investments. The latter often carry less disclosure weight than public stocks and mutual funds.
A Widening Investment Spectrum
However, as wealth and incomes have swelled over time, the percentage of households qualifying as accredited investors has surged from the top 1-2% in 1983 to about 13% in 2019. This transition has paved the way for more middle and upper-middle-class households to invest in private markets. However, this shift also raises questions as some of these new entrants may not possess the needed risk capacity or financial expertise.
The Double-Edged Sword of Access
Investor advocates argue that the financial thresholds for accreditation should be indexed to inflation, which would significantly elevate the current requirements. Despite the risks, private investments can offer superior returns than public ones, a fact that has stoked interest among investors. This discussion underscores the potential benefits and perils of expanding access to private investment opportunities to a wider segment of the population.
Companies like TriLinc Global and JPMREIT are making strides in democratizing private investments. TriLinc Global aims for a balance between profit and ESG impact goals by providing private loans to SMEs in developing countries. JPMREIT, on the other hand, offers individuals access to income-producing institutional quality direct real estate with a minimum investment of $2,500.
The democratization of private investments presents a new world of inflation-proof investing. This shift, while powerful, also carries its own set of risks and challenges, a caveat that all investors, regardless of their risk tolerance, must bear in mind.

Arsenal have won just one of their last five games.
Football The sizzling battle for the top of the English Premier League got a new gear once again, when Arsenal lost the seam to rise to the top of the league. In the meeting between the London teams on New Year's Eve, the home team Fulham was better 2–1, and Arsenal's winless streak in the league already stretched to three matches. On the eve, it drew with Liverpool, but at the end of the year it lost to both West Ham and Fulham.
Arsenal got off to a great start to the match when Bukayo Saka scored the lead in the 5th minute. Fulham fought back to equalize in the 29th minute by Raul Jimenez by, and became the number one hero of the home audience Bobby De Cordova-Reid with his goal in the 59th minute.
Arsenal have won just one of their last five games (December 17 at home to Brighton). It is two points clear of Liverpool, who face Newcastle at home on Monday. Aston Villa is also two points ahead of Arsenal, and reigning champions Manchester City, who have played less matches, are level with the “Gunners”.
“We weren't good enough. We lost a game to West Ham that we fully deserved to win, but now we weren't even close to that level. This has to be forgotten because it was our worst performance this season. It's really hard to digest,” the Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta said a rude New Year's Eve.
Fulham had lost their previous three games without scoring a goal.
“You can't end the year better than this,” Fulham's coach Marco Silva lingered.
A day in the second match, Tottenham beat Bournemouth 3–1 at home. Tottenham were hit in the early stages Pape Sarr, and in the second half they scored for the home team Son Heung-min and Richarlison 3–0. Bournemouth's goal was scored Alex Scott.
Tottenham is fifth in the league, three points away from the top. The win was also a nice homework gift for the French goalkeeper who has served the club for a long time For Hugo Lloriswho will join Los Angeles FC of the North American MLS league.
“This is a farewell, but it's for a player, not a person. I'll be a Spurs fan for the rest of my life,” Lloris thanked the home crowd at half-time of the Bournemouth game.

Kansas City rallied from a 10-point deficit to take a lead in the fourth quarter and shut down the Bengals in the second half to seal a 25-17 win Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. The Bengals (8-8) were officially eliminated from the postseason picture with the defeat.
Cleveland (11-5), which Cincinnati hosts in the regular-season finale next week, clinched the No. 5 seed in the AFC.
The Chiefs (10-6) had lost three straight games at home and four of their last six games overall, but the defending Super Bowl champions claimed the AFC West title with the win Sunday and assured a return to the postseason. They did it by holding Cincinnati to 80 yards of offense in the second half.
Cincinnati was moving the ball well, particularly in the running game, early on as Jake Browning converted a couple third downs with his legs and scrambled in for a touchdown to give the Bengals a 17-7 lead with less than seven minutes left in the second quarter.
Evan McPherson got things started with a 34-yard field goal to cap a productive opening drive, and although the Chiefs easily responded with a touchdown on their first offensive possession, the Bengals kept plugging along.
Browning connected with Joe Mixon on a 7-yard pass to regain the lead the next drive, and Trey Hendrickson forced Patrick Mahomes to fumble on a sack, which Sam Hubbard recovered to put the Bengals back on the Kansas City 24-yard line. Cincinnati took advantage with Browning’s rushing touchdown.
The defense then led the way, holding the Chiefs to field goals on back-to-back drives to end the first half and enabled the Bengals to carry a 17-13 lead into halftime, despite struggles stopping the run. Kansas City had concerns going into the game with Isiah Pacheco questionable because of a concussion and shoulder injury but he cleared protocols and ended up with 130 yards on 18 carries.
Kansas City still couldn’t reach the end zone against the Bengals but six Harrison Butker field goals were enough to build a lead the visitors couldn’t overcome while struggling to move the ball in the second half. The Bengals punted three times and had two turnover on downs, including their first possession of the third quarter and the final one.
Tyler Boyd had caught a 23-yard pass on fourth-and-18 with less than two minutes left, but two straight sacks set Browning back and on fourth-and-27, his pass deep to Tee Higgins fell incomplete to end the game.
Browning completed 19 of 33 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown and added 32 yards and a touchdown on seven carries. Mixon had 21 carries for 65 yards.
Mahomes, who had just 79 yards passing in the first half, completed 21 of 29 passes for 245 yards and a touchdown, while tight end Travis Kelce managed just three catches for 16 yards against a Cincinnati defense that has struggled with tight ends.
NEXT GAME
Browns at Bengals, TBA, 700, 1290, 1530, 95.7, 102.7, 104.7

Berkshire Hathaway: A Temporary Setback Doesn’t Eclipse Warren Buffett’s Legacy
In an unexpected turn of events, Berkshire Hathaway, the esteemed conglomerate spearheaded by Warren Buffett, fell short of outperforming the market this year. This development poses a stark contrast to the firm’s longstanding reputation for registering superior returns.
Warren Buffett’s Legacy Remains Unscathed
Despite the recent performance, Warren Buffett’s investing prowess remains unrivalled. His illustrious career, known for consistently securing significant returns for shareholders over several decades, continues to inspire investors worldwide. Aptly titled the ‘Oracle of Omaha,’ Buffett’s investment strategies and financial manoeuvres have been a beacon for global investors.
Berkshire Hathaway’s Diverse Portfolio
The portfolio of Berkshire Hathaway comprises an eclectic mix of businesses and stock investments. The company’s investment approach, centred around long-term value and strategic acquisitions, has been a blueprint for countless investors. The news of Berkshire Hathaway not beating the market in a single year is significant given its historical success, but it fails to taint Buffett’s overarching legacy as one of the greatest investors in history.
An In-depth Look at Berkshire Hathaway’s Market Performance
The comprehensive analysis of Berkshire Hathaway’s market performance includes a comparison with the S&P 500, earnings drivers, P/B multiple, manufacturing segment outlook, and cash flow conversion profile. The decision to downgrade the stock to a ‘Strong Sell’ stems from expectations of underperformance against the S&P 500 and concerns about the manufacturing segment and working capital erosion.
The success story of Berkshire Hathaway under Buffett’s leadership is awe-inspiring, with the stock soaring from $18 in 1965 to a staggering $545,000 per share. One of the company’s prominent investments includes StoneCo, a Brazil-based fintech firm. Despite facing challenges with its credit business, StoneCo registered a 25% increase in revenue year over year in Q3, reaching 3.1 billion Brazilian reals. With its strong balance sheet and enormous scope for long-term growth, StoneCo continues to be a key player in Berkshire’s portfolio.
Berkshire Hathaway’s last quarterly earnings reported on November 4th, 2023, surpassed expectations, with earnings per share of $4.96, beating the consensus estimate of $4.74. The company’s earnings for the quarter stood at $93.21 billion, dwarfing analyst estimates of $76.41 billion. With a projected earnings growth of 11.13% in the upcoming year, Berkshire Hathaway remains a force to reckon with in the financial world.

Gaza (Union)
A bleak year for the Palestinians ended yesterday in the absence of any indications of the possibility of an end soon to the war raging in the Gaza Strip, which is considered the most violent in the Palestinian territories.
The air strikes did not subside, nor did the ground battles stop, while despair prevails among the residents of the Gaza Strip, who suffer from the daily repercussions of the war.
Mahmoud Abu Shahma from a camp for displaced people in Rafah on the border with Egypt said: “We hoped that 2024 would come under better conditions and that we would celebrate New Year in our homes with our families.”
Abu Shahma, who was displaced from Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, also added, “We hope that the war will end and we will be able to return to our homes and live in peace.”
Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “The war on Gaza will continue until Israel achieves its goals.”
The daily aid convoys entering the Strip are not enough to alleviate the suffering of the population, according to the United Nations, which indicated the displacement of more than 85 percent of Gaza’s population of 2.4 million people.
The World Health Organization warned of the increasing risk of the spread of infectious diseases, and the United Nations announced that Gaza is only weeks away from entering into famine.
The battles put 23 hospitals and 53 medical centers out of service, while 104 ambulances were destroyed, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
In this context, the authorities in the Gaza Strip announced that there are more than 5,300 sick and seriously injured people awaiting urgent evacuation.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) quoted the health authorities in Gaza as saying that the UN office is organizing the transfer of injured people abroad in cooperation with the World Health Organization.
It has now become possible in the northern Gaza Strip to restore limited services in some health facilities, including the Arab National Hospital and Al Awda Hospital, in addition to some medical practices, according to what the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported from the local authorities.
The authorities there are also working with the World Health Organization and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) to reopen more facilities. OCHA said that this happens in some cases at the expense of the lives of employees, as many areas are still subject to continuous bombing by Israel.

Boylesports Reassesses Operations amid New Gambling Bill; Property and Brewery Sectors See Major Moves
In a significant development, Boylesports, an Ireland-based betting company, is reevaluating its operations. The move is a response to the rising concerns about the nation’s forthcoming Gambling Regulation Bill, expected to be enacted in 2024. The CEO, Vlad Kaltenieks, conveyed his apprehension that the legislation might inadvertently push gamblers towards the black market. Consequently, the company is contemplating expanding its business beyond Irish borders.
Boylesports Reconsiders Canadian Market Entry
This strategic reassessment follows Boylesports’ recent decision to abandon its plans for entering the Canadian market. The decision is grounded in the uncertainties surrounding the new gambling act. The company’s cautionary approach underscores the global uncertainties that businesses must navigate in the ever-evolving landscape of international regulations.
Ardstone Capital Granted Permission for New Development
In other business news, Ardstone Capital, a property investor, has obtained permission to erect a new apartment complex in south Dublin. The land for the proposed development was formerly owned by the Jesuit Order. This approval comes after a successful High Court challenge to an earlier proposal, reflecting the complexities of land development and urban planning in the modern age.
Chartered Land Shifts Focus from Office Space to Apartments
Further, Chartered Land, steered by Joe O’Reilly, has unveiled plans to replace proposed office spaces with apartments in its Dublin 8 development. The company cites a dip in demand as the rationale for this shift, a trend influenced by global economic conditions, including the war in Ukraine and climbing inflation rates. This strategic pivot highlights the flexibility required in the property development sector amidst fluctuating market demands.
Irish Celebrities Invest in Wicklow Wolf Brewery
On a lighter note, several Irish celebrities have shown their entrepreneurial spirit by investing in Wicklow Wolf, a craft beer brewery. Notable figures such as Andrew Hozier-Byrne, Bono, the Edge, and Lily O’Brien’s chocolate founder Mary Ann O’Brien have increased their stakes in the company. This investment trend underscores the increasing popularity of craft beer and the expanding opportunities in the brewery sector.

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

Denmark's Queen Margrethe II announced Sunday that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik.
The queen, who is Europe's longest-reigning living monarch, announced during her New Year's speech that she would step down on Jan. 14th, which is the anniversary of her own accession to the throne at age 31 following the death of her father, King Frederik IX.
Margrethe, 83, said the back surgery she underwent in early 2023 led to "thoughts about the future" and when to pass on the responsibilities of the crown to her son. "I have decided that now is the right time," she said in her speech.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen paid tribute to her in a statement, offering a "heartfelt thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for her lifelong dedication and tireless efforts for the Kingdom."
Margrethe is the "epitome of Denmark" Frederiksen's statement read, and "throughout the years has put words and feelings into who we are as a people and as a nation."
The 6-foot-tall (1.82-meters-tall), chain-smoking Margrethe has been one of the most popular public figures in Denmark, where the monarch's role is largely ceremonial. She often walked the streets of Copenhagen virtually unescorted and won the admiration of Danes for her warm manners and for her talents as a linguist and designer.
A keen skier, she was a member of a Danish women's air force unit as a princess, taking part in judo courses and endurance tests in the snow. Margrethe remained tough even as she grew older. In 2011, at age 70, she visited Danish troops in southern Afghanistan wearing a military jumpsuit.
As monarch, she crisscrossed the country and regularly visited Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, the two semi-independent territories which are part of the Danish Realm, and was met everywhere by cheering crowds.
Denmark has Europe's oldest ruling monarchy, which traces its line back to the Viking king Gorm the Old, who died in 958. Although Magrethe is head of state, the Danish Constitution strictly ruled out her involvement in party politics.
Yet the queen was clearly well-versed in law and knew the contents of the legislation she was called upon to sign.
She received training in French and English from her earliest years, as well as Swedish from her mother. In addition to archaeology, she studied philosophy, political science and economics at universities in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Cambridge along with the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne in Paris.
Ever since his birth on May 26, 1968, Frederik André Henrik Christian has been the heir to the Danish throne.
He is the oldest son of Queen Margrethe and her late French-born husband, Prince Henrik, who died February 2018. Frederik, 55, has a younger brother, Prince Joachim.
Since the age of 18, he has served as regent whenever his mother was outside the kingdom and carried out official duties, shaking hands with thousands and receiving foreign dignitaries.
The queen's announcement made up only a few sentences at the end of her wide-ranging New Year's speech which reflected on the "turbulence and upheaval in the world" amid the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the climate crisis.
But she also thanked her nation's people for "the warmth and hospitality I meet with everywhere in Denmark."
While lavishing accolades on the queen, the prime minister also looked to the future.
"In the new year, Crown Prince Frederik will be proclaimed king. Crown Princess Mary will become queen. The kingdom will have a new regent and a new royal couple," he said in his statement. "We can look forward to all of this in the knowledge that they are ready for the responsibility and the task."

Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II to step down from throne on Jan. 14
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II announced Sunday that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik.

The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday rose in defence of President Bola Tinubu over the December salaries of federal workers which were delayed and paid two days to the new year.
Federal workers across the country, including security personnel, had celebrated the 2023 Christmas without their salaries, with some of them only paid on December 28 and 29.
Accordingly, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had called out the Tinubu administration, accusing it of insensitivity.
However, APC in a statement from its publicity directorate in Abuja, said PDP’s “flimsy statement” was an attempt to portray the administration as undermining the economic wellbeing of Nigerians.
The APC statement read: “For the records, the December salaries of federal workers have been paid. But that is a fact that poses an insurmountable challenge for decrepit PDP to ascertain or verify. The Party would rather flaunt its folly, incompetence, envy and confusion in a statement that is disgracefully bereft of reason or cogency.
“Indubitably, President Bola Tinubu’s administration has demonstrated far greater sensitivity and commitment to workers’ welfare in his few months in office than all of PDP’s 16 years of reckless and profligate rule. In the best interest of workers, the administration has continued to promote qualitative dialogue and engagement with organized labour in prevention and resolution of disputes.
“The welfare of Nigerian workers is at the core of the conception and implementation of the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
‘’The PDP’s reckless statement cannot possibly be referring to the same APC-led administration that approved the delisting of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS, as a panacea to recurring ASUU strikes; instituted a program of access to student loan; granted N5 billion as palliative for 36 states of the federation; approved additional N35,000 wage bonus for workers as palliative for three months; the upward review of minium wage; payment of backlog for N-Power participants, and cash transfer of N25, 000 to vulnerable Nigerians for six months; grants for farmers and small and medium enterprises, SMEs, and free train ride as well as 50 per cent discount in transportation fare for commuters during the yuletide. PDP’s accusations is nothing short of barefaced dishonesty and partisan pettiness.
“It is hypocritical for the PDP that perverted the fuel subsidy regime, fed fat from the corruption of that system and displayed a gross lack of political will to end that economic hemorrhage to be idly pontificating about savings made from ending that system against their irresponsible objections. The money saved belongs to Nigerians and it is being prudently utilised on their behalf.
“The PDP is crying wolf and peddling misinformation even when the organized labour, the defenders of workers’ rights, has maintained mature understanding and disposition. The statement cuts a pitiful profile of a party with a sordid history and a murky future.
“Nigerians are in the clear that President Tinubu’s reforms are designed to reposition and restore the nation to greatness and sustainable prosperity”.

Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II to step down from throne on Jan. 14
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II announced Sunday that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik.
The queen, who is Europe’s longest-reigning living monarch, announced during her New Year’s speech that she would step down on Jan. 14th, which is the anniversary of her own accession to the throne at age 31 following the death of her father, King Frederik IX.
Margrethe, 83, said the back surgery she underwent in early 2023 led to “thoughts about the future” and when to pass on the responsibilities of the crown to her son. “I have decided that now is the right time,” she said in her speech.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen paid tribute to her in a statement, offering a “heartfelt thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for her lifelong dedication and tireless efforts for the Kingdom.”
Margrethe is the “epitome of Denmark” Frederiksen’s statement read, and “throughout the years has put words and feelings into who we are as a people and as a nation.”
The 6-foot-tall (1.82-meters-tall), chain-smoking Margrethe has been one of the most popular public figures in Denmark, where the monarch’s role is largely ceremonial. She often walked the streets of Copenhagen virtually unescorted and won the admiration of Danes for her warm manners and for her talents as a linguist and designer.
A keen skier, she was a member of a Danish women’s air force unit as a princess, taking part in judo courses and endurance tests in the snow. Margrethe remained tough even as she grew older. In 2011, at age 70, she visited Danish troops in southern Afghanistan wearing a military jumpsuit.
As monarch, she crisscrossed the country and regularly visited Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, the two semi-independent territories which are part of the Danish Realm, and was met everywhere by cheering crowds.
Denmark has Europe’s oldest ruling monarchy, which traces its line back to the Viking king Gorm the Old, who died in 958. Although Magrethe is head of state, the Danish Constitution strictly ruled out her involvement in party politics.
Yet the queen was clearly well-versed in law and knew the contents of the legislation she was called upon to sign.
She received training in French and English from her earliest years, as well as Swedish from her mother. In addition to archaeology, she studied philosophy, political science and economics at universities in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Cambridge along with the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne in Paris.
Ever since his birth on May 26, 1968, Frederik André Henrik Christian has been the heir to the Danish throne.
He is the oldest son of Queen Margrethe and her late French-born husband, Prince Henrik, who died February 2018. Frederik, 55, has a younger brother, Prince Joachim.
Since the age of 18, he has served as regent whenever his mother was outside the kingdom and carried out official duties, shaking hands with thousands and receiving foreign dignitaries.
The queen’s announcement made up only a few sentences at the end of her wide-ranging New Year’s speech which reflected on the “turbulence and upheaval in the world” amid the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the climate crisis.
But she also thanked her nation’s people for “the warmth and hospitality I meet with everywhere in Denmark.”
While lavishing accolades on the queen, the prime minister also looked to the future.
“In the new year, Crown Prince Frederik will be proclaimed king. Crown Princess Mary will become queen. The kingdom will have a new regent and a new royal couple,” he said in his statement. “We can look forward to all of this in the knowledge that they are ready for the responsibility and the task.”

Congress hasn’t had at least 100 members of the House and Senate with military backgrounds since 2017. But the veterans caucus in the legislature right now is close enough to challenge that mark in the 2024 elections.
The number of veterans in Congress has steadily declined since the 1970s, a shift which mostly reflects the change to the all-volunteer force and the dwindling number of Americans who enlist annually.
But veterans advocates have worried that decline has also taken away valuable insight for lawmakers as they craft national security policy, veterans support plans and defense budget proposals.
In 1973, the total number of veterans serving in House and Senate seats was 401 — 75% of all the seats in both chambers. By 1995, that number was down to 213 seats. It dropped below 100 for the first time in 2013.
RELATED
A total of 97 lawmakers with military backgrounds were elected in 2022, 80 in the House and 17 in the Senate. That was up five veterans from the previous congressional elections, and only the fourth time in the last 50 years there has been any increase at all in the total veterans elected.
Of that group, 58 veterans (60%) served at least part of their enlistment after 2001. Advocates are hopeful that the younger generation of veterans will help push that number back up, albeit to a much lower level than the past historic marks.
But doing so will require some luck at the ballot box.
Already, the Senate is scheduled to lose one veteran next year. Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., the last Vietnam veteran serving in the chamber, has announced his plans to retire from Congress.
Two veterans in the House — Ohio Republican Reps. Brad Wenstrup and Bill Johnson — have also announced plans to leave Congress.
That means at least three new candidates with military experience will need to win state races in order to keep the number of veterans in Congress steady.
Most primary battles for House and Senate seats will be decided later this spring, giving candidates the summer to campaign for the general election. By early summer, advocates should have a clearer idea whether the number of veterans aiming for those seats is increasing or on the downturn again.

26-year-old Akseli Kouki is an actor, director and screenwriter. Now he is involved in the production of the new Vares series for the first time with his father Mikko Kouk.
He has acted In The Unknown Soldier and popular Beatin the series. He has studied in Ireland and created a career in Chile.
Akseli Kouki has reached the age of 26 a lot. Now he walks with sure steps on Turku's library bridge. In the background, the machinery of the production group assembles Crow-the last shooting session of the series. At the point Vares is running on the library bridge and someone is chasing him.
Kouki is both an actor and co-writer in the new series. At the same time, he collaborates with his father, an actor, for the first time Mikko Koukin with.
Akseli Kouki is an open-minded young man who thinks a lot about life and dreams big.
When he speaks, the atmosphere calms down. When talking about his work and people, he lights up. He seems strong and confident for his age.
Work is a passion for Kouki: when talking about acting, he uses the verb rakastaa.
“I have an absolutely insane hunger to do.”
-
Turku-born actor, director and screenwriter.
-
Born in 1997.
-
Currently lives in Helsinki.
-
Studied in Ireland, graduated as an actor in 2019.
-
Worked in both Finnish and international projects.
-
Among other things, the year 2017 is known Unknown Soldier from the movie Salona and Beat– drama series as Santeri Valkjärvi.
-
Kouk's parents are writer, verbal arts instructor and University of Turku creative writing teacher Niina Repo, and actor, director and artistic director of Turku City Theater Mikko Kouki.
Large the audience remembers Kouk Beat– series Santeri Valkjärvi, but the young actor wants to remind you that he has been in big projects before.
In 2016, at the age of 18, Kouki ran amok alongside numerous professional actors in the woods of an audition camp. In the end, he was chosen for the role of Salo.
“About the unknown soldier it all actually started. I went to Kerttuli high school when my friend and I decided to apply for a movie as assistants. We both ended up in a double role, assisting and acting.”
Film production has been one of the highlights of the actor's career.
“The work group spent a lot of time together, and we quickly became a small, close-knit family.”
Job In The Unknown Soldier was also an impetus for Kouki that he could become an actor after all.
As a child Kouki had not particularly thought about a career as an actor. It would have been natural for a young man who had been playing ice hockey all his life to end up in a sports career.
Akseli Kouki says that her father and mother have never pushed her into the creative field. Still, he has always received support for all his choices.
“However, it has not been possible to avoid the theater world. All projects have been present at home in some way. I have many memories of being at the theater with my father, but I still didn't grow up doing theater.”
Father and son have had numerous discussions about acting.
“The best thing is when you notice that these days our calls are reciprocal: I call dad and dad calls me. We reflect on acting, directing, everything we do.”
Now they have finally ended up acting in the same series as well.
“
“I have realized that I am part of some kind of theater tradition.”
In place as an actress, Akseli Kouki has only had to defend herself a little. He doesn't feel that he was ever “just Miko's son”.
“Sometimes I'm assumed to be like my father or my mother. My personality and the way I act are sensitive to what either of my parents are like.”
According to Kouk, it's wonderful to be able to collaborate with your own parents – it has brought them closer and united them.
“I have realized that I am part of some kind of theater tradition. I've learned to breathe this world since I was little.”
Hooked knew early on that studying abroad and focusing on international projects could be good solutions, “his own thing”.
After high school, he first went to work in Chile and then to study acting in Ireland. After two years of studying, he returned to Finland.
The doors of Teatterikorkeakoulu (Teak) have not opened for the young actor, but that has not become an obstacle. Kouki does not feel that negative decisions have ever caused a strong backlash.
He says that everyone has opinions about art. You have to learn to listen and filter them.
“Nonetheless, I have received a lot of positive feedback about who I am and what I do. In Teak, they seemed to say somehow that you are in a good mood, come again next year.”
“
“I have sometimes found myself in a coffin I built during a nap.”
Hooked states that in acting work you have to tolerate uncertainty: when you've been busy at first, the calendar might be completely empty the next moment.
“In those situations, you understand that this choice of field means that the work comes in periods and you have to be active yourself – waiting in the dark is not worth it.”
This realization led to a turning point in Kouk's career: in 2020, he ended up touring Finland Young soldiers – genuine letters from the front – with a theater monologue. It was performed Väinö Linnan In the 100th anniversary year, for example in schools.
The tour required effort, waking up at five in the morning and a lot of boards. From the boards, Kouki built a coffin on each stage. The days were long and full of work, and there was always no time or space for recovery.
“I have sometimes found myself in a coffin I built during a nap.”
Hooked has also found himself in another monologue, Antti Röngän Feet in the air – from a work that tells about school bullying. It has been the most challenging production of Akseli Kouk's career.
“A monologue in front of middle schoolers is always just as exciting. However, I'm already old enough that I no longer know the world of middle and upperclassmen, although I remember what it felt like to be that age.”
He finds it particularly challenging that he had to act week after week for an audience that did not come to see the show of their own free will.
“
“I realized that I don't have to apologize for anything on stage.”
The monologue was the piece that actually taught Kouki the most about acting.
“When the main character of the work, Aaro, comes on stage and says out loud that he loves himself, I realized that I don't have to apologize for anything on stage. That I can just let go.”
Second educational work has been Beat-series. According to Kouk, making the series has been “a different kind of apprenticeship.”
When talking about the series, he gets serious. Not because acting in the series is not fun, but because as an actor, he would like to survive even the tight shooting pace with honor.
“In a heartbeat work is done at a fast pace. I often felt like, damn it, I could do better.”
The series made the young actor think about whether he can be at his best even in the dark of November and whether he can get enough out of himself in a tight schedule.
“Fortunately, I was able to prove to myself my development in the current one Aku Lohimiehen Conflictin the action series. I felt like this was the first project where I was really a professional. I had taken a step forward.”
When Kouki reflects on his career as an actor and screenwriter, he mentions his age.
As a young professional, you have to accept all opportunities, network and be involved in many things. In addition, you have to learn to tolerate uncertainty. It creates recognition and success.
“You have to be open to different jobs. If you want to do it, you just have to do it.”
Akseli Kouki is currently enjoying a new conquest of territory as a screenwriter. He is still a beginner at it and strongly feels that the various role performances as an actor have made his work as a screenwriter possible.
“Second job Crow– as the screenwriter of the series, it started from the fact that I sent the main screenwriter A fairy tale for Rasila sample texts from the six-part youth series. Rasila commented on it and went to see it Feet in the air – my presentation and liked it. A year ago he contacted me, and now here we are.”
Hooked says that scriptwriting is easy for him: he often sees scenes from plays, films and series as well as situations between people as scripts, i.e. scripted scenes. For him, the finished production is the totality of these scripts.
“Writing is tricky. When you explore the world, you can notice and choose very specific points and create very specific moments from original works.”
“
“It wouldn't be easy to get involved in a work with a hateful message.”
The crow jumping into the world was natural for Kouki and felt meaningful.
“It was wonderful to write on familiar streets and locations. I know my hometown and I know the people. Now the story could be built around familiarity.”
In addition to writing scripts, Akseli Kouki acts In Varese Glädi, who appears in an episode he wrote himself. Glädi is an unstable drug dealer, whom Kouki calls a typical character of the Vares world.
“Every time you get a text in front of you, you wonder who wrote this,” he says and laughs.
Then Kouki gets serious. We discuss what a young actor and screenwriter would never be willing to do – where is the line?
“Here I would start from where the responsibility and morality of art go. Even though I'm interested in taboos and breaking boundaries, it wouldn't be easy to get involved in a piece with a hateful message.”
Loose and provocative satire would also not attract Kouki. He must also believe in the message of the work and feel that he would be the best author or actor for it.
“I feel that I would not be the best possible person to write, for example, a script that concerns a minority that I myself do not belong to.”
Hooked wants to look ahead and has several dreams. The biggest job dream would be to be able to make impressive art in many formats.
“I would hope that the theater I make would influence people. I wish I could manage to get involved in something that would raise us to be compassionate towards each other.”
According to the young professional, compassion is the core of an actor's work. It helps in all roles.
As his own life's dreams, he names everything that makes him happy in everyday life: long walks in Helsinki's Central Park, good food and Champions League round nights, when you can stop and just watch TV.
He would like to see a lot and learn new things.
“It feels like everything is just at the beginning, even though I've already been able to do and experience a lot.”

Britain’s Private Equity Firms Set for Dealmaking Surge
Britain’s private equity firms are preparing for a significant upturn in dealmaking activity, fuelled by abundant cash reserves and a readiness to pursue acquisitions. Market conditions are ripe, with entities like KKR, armed with significant funds, suggesting a possible surge in the procurement and merging of companies. This accumulation of ‘dry powder’—industry jargon for uninvested capital—indicates that the firms are strategically positioned to take advantage of opportunities in the British market.
Driving Factors
The trend is a result of several factors, including the availability of funds, the strategic positioning of firms, and the overall economic and market dynamics that make Britain an attractive landscape for private equity investments. For example, private equity firms such as CVC Capital, which closed its latest fund earlier this year after amassing a hefty 26 billion, have contributed to the more than 500 billion raised in new funds in 2023. The Bank of England’s rate hikes, coupled with the Federal Reserve’s decision to maintain high US rates, have compelled private equity firms to continuously reassess how much they’re willing to invest in companies, despite their substantial cash reserves.
Anticipating Favorable Prospects
The firms’ readiness, with cash on hand, is an indication of their anticipation of favorable dealmaking prospects. This could trigger a flurry of transactions in the near future. The main challenge for these private equity giants is to avoid striking a deal that could appear costly in a year’s time. In 2023, mega-deals worth over 1 billion accounted for less than half of all European buyouts for the first time since 2017, with smaller deals filling the void. Private equity exits reached a 10-year low in 2023, adding pressure to firms to clear the backlog of companies on their books.
Looking Forward
Looking ahead, Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) could see the most significant revival in 2024. There are also updates on legal challenges in the cryptocurrency industry, including charges against Binance and Kraken by the SEC, as well as a High Court battle involving the world’s largest stablecoin issuer. With the poised stance of these firms and the promising market conditions, Britain’s private equity firms could be on the brink of a dealmaking boom.

Wile E. Coyote will finally have his day in court against the ACME Corporation in a new live action/animated movie. Looney Tunes voice actor Eric Bauza has shared a new image from the upcoming film Coyote vs. Acme.
See ya in 2024!! 🦊🪧🧲🧨💣💥 #CoyoteVsACME pic.twitter.com/5jaGQyLdiJ
— Eric Bauza (@bauzilla) December 31, 2023
The image shows an animated Wile E. Coyote in a live action courtroom. The film’s style of combining animation and live action is similar to Space Jam (1996) and Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003). In the picture, the classic cartoon character is joined by Will Forte, who plays Wile E.’s lawyer in the film.
In the classic Looney Tunes shorts, Wile E. Coyote uses products created by the ACME Corporation in his pursuit to catch the Road Runner. However, the products always backfire and injure him instead. In Coyote vs. Acme, Wile E. hires Forte’s lawyer character to help him sue ACME.
In addition to Forte, the film will also star John Cena as the ACME Corporation’s lawyer. Bauza will voice Wile E. Coyote in the film.
Coyote vs. Acme was directed by Dave Green. Green previously directed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016) and Earth to Echo (2014). The film’s screenplay was written by Sammy Burch. It is based on the humor article “Coyote vs. Acme” by Ian Frazier, which was published by The New Yorker in 1990.
The film was originally scheduled to be released in theaters on July 21, 2023, before Warner Bros. gave the date to Barbie instead. However, on November 9, 2023, Warner Bros. cancelled the release of the film, and planned to use the movie as a tax write-off. Coyote vs. Acme was the third film scrapped by the studio following the merger of Warner Media and Discovery Inc., and under the leadership of CEO David Zaslav. In August 2022, Warner Bros. cancelled the release of the superhero movie Batgirl, which starred Leslie Grace, as well as J. K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Michael Keaton as Batman. That same day, the studio also scrapped the animated film Scoob! Holiday Haunt, which was a prequel to Scoob! (2020). Both Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt were used as tax write-offs by Warner Bros.
However, on November 13, it was reported that Warner Bros. was instead shopping the movie to other distributors. The potential buyers include Prime Video, Apple, Netflix, and Paramount. Although an official release date hasn’t been announced, Bauza wrote in the post “See ya in 2024!!”
Coyote vs. Acme is one of many recent projects starring the Looney Tunes characters. Earlier this year, new episodes of Looney Tunes Cartoons were released on Max. The characters also star in the educational series Bugs Bunny Builders, which airs on Cartoon Network. In September, Tiny Toons Looniversity premiered on Max. The series is a reboot of the 90s animated series Tiny Toon Adventures, and features the Looney Tunes mentoring a young group of cartoon characters at Acme Looniversity. Daffy Duck and Porky Pig will also star in a new movie titled The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie. Unlike other Looney Tunes films like Coyote vs. Acme or Space Jam, The Day the Earth Blew Up will be a fully animated movie.
Many of the classic Looney Tunes shorts, as well as Looney Tunes Cartoons and Tiny Toons Looniversity are now available to stream on Max.

The U.S. military said Sunday it shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired toward a container ship by Yemen’s Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. Hours later, four boats tried to attack the same ship, but U.S. forces opened fire, killing several of the armed crews, U.S. Central Command said. No one was injured on the ship.
The Singapore-flagged Maersk Hangzhou reported they had already been hit by a missile Saturday night while transiting the Southern Red Sea and requested assistance, CENTCOM said in a statement. The guided missile destroyers Gravely and Laboon responded to the call for help. The Denmark-owned vessel was reportedly seaworthy and no injuries were noted, the statement added.
“This is the 23rd illegal attack by the Houthis on international shipping since Nov. 19,” CENTCOM officials said.
In another statement, CENTCOM officials said the same ship issued an additional distress call about a second attack “by four Iranian-backed Houthi small boats.” The attackers fired small arms weapons at the Maersk Hangzhou, getting to within 20 meters (about 65 feet) of the vessel, and attempted to board it.
A contract-embarked security team on the ship returned fire, the statement said. U.S. helicopters from the Gravely and the aircraft carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower responded to the distress call. While issuing verbal warnings to the attackers, the small boat crews opened fire on the helicopters using small arms, the statement said.
“The U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defense,” sinking three of the four boats and killing the crews, the statement said. The fourth boat fled the area, the release added. No damage to U.S. personnel or equipment was reported.
The Iran-backed Houthis have claimed attacks on ships in the Red Sea that they say are either linked to Israel or heading to Israeli ports. They say their attacks aim to end Israel’s air-and-ground offensive targeting the Gaza Strip following the attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Oct. 7.
On Saturday, the top commander of U.S. naval forces in the Middle East said Houthi rebels have shown no signs of ending their “reckless” attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea, even as more nations join the international maritime mission to protect vessels in the vital waterway and trade traffic begins to pick up.
Since the Pentagon announced Operation Prosperity Guardian to counter the attacks just over 10 days ago, 1,200 merchant ships have traveled through the Red Sea region.

MADRID. Spanish citizen Santiago Sanchez Cogedor, imprisoned in Iran since October 2, 2022, was released today. He was arrested during last year's protests, when he visited the tomb of Mahsa Amini, the young woman of Kurdish origin who died in September last year after being arrested for not wearing her veil correctly.
«The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is pleased to announce the release of Santiago Sanchez Cogedor, the only Spanish citizen detained in Iran», wrote the Iranian Embassy in Spain on friendly and historic relations between the two countries and in accordance with the law,” the embassy added. Sanchez Cogedor had entered Iran months after he had committed to a long journey on foot to Qatar from January 2022 to attend the World Cup in November-December.
His family lost all trace of him a few weeks before the tournament began. The last message documenting his adventures on Instagram appeared on October 1, when he wrote that he was in a village in northern Iraq and was headed towards the Iranian border. A voice message to his parents, later broadcast by a television station, said that he was in Tehran, heading to the port of Bandar Abbas, in the Strait of Hormuz, from where he intended to take a boat to Qatar. Iran is detaining more than 10 Western citizens, and governments and NGOs accuse Tehran of using them as bargaining chips for its own citizens.
Amini's death became the symbol of a protest movement against mandatory wearing of the hijab, and the resulting crackdown on the protests saw hundreds killed and thousands arrested. Tehran accused the United States of fomenting the protests and in September 2022 announced the arrest of nine foreign citizens from several European states, including France, Italy and Poland, on charges of participating in the demonstrations.

By Victor AhiumaYoung, Babajide Komolafe, Olasunkanmi Akoni, Johnbosco Agbakwuru, John Alechenu,Udeme Akpan, Peter Egwuatu &Nkiruka Nnorom
LAGOS — Major stakeholders in the polity, including the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Nigeria Employers Consultative Association, NECA, and Labour Party, LP, among others, were up in arms yesterday with the National Assembly for jerking up the 2024 budget by N1.2trillion.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu had sent a budget proposal of N27.5 trillion to NASS for approval but the lawmakers on Saturday increased it to N28.78 trillion before passing it into law.
Though the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, and chairmen of the appropriation committees of the two arms of the National Assembly, Adeola Solomon (Senate) and Abubabar Bichi (House of Representatives) had explained why the increase was necessary, the stakeholders would have none of that.
Speaking with journalists after a Christmas homage to President Bola Tinubu in his residence in Lagos yesterday, the speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, assured that Nigerians should expect a notable difference in budget implementation, once President Tinubu signs the 2024 appropriation bill into law, adding that the N28.78 trillion harmonised budget passed by the National Assembly on Saturday would define Tinubu’s administration as people-centric.
According to him, “after we received the budget proposal, we worked extra hours, no weekends, no breaks, even during Christmas we had to work to ensure that we’re able to deliver on our promise to Mr President that the budget will be passed before the end of the year.
“It’s a lot of sacrifice put into this work but to God be the glory, we’re able to deliver and we delivered well,” he said.
On the adjustments made in the budget from N27.5 trillion presented by the President to N28.78 trillion passed by the House and the Senate, the speaker noted that the lawmakers diligently scrutinized every aspect of the budget.
He said: “We expect the budget to deliver because there’s no sector that we did not cross-check, scrutinize, and we made enquiries as to what is required to make the desired impact to the economy and to the people.
‘’I assure you that by the time the 2024 appropriation is signed into law, and we start implementing it, Nigerians will see the difference.
‘’This is a budget that is going to define the Tinubu administration’s commitment to the people of this country. “
Recall that at a briefing after the passage of the budget on Saturday, Chairman of the Appropriation Committee of the Senate, Adeola Solomon and his colleague in the House of Representatives, Abubakar Bichi, Adeola, had said the budget was increased based on current economic realities.
Adeola had said: “The government has just removed fuel subsidy; the government is also intensifying efforts to unify the exchange rates that we usually have and that comes with a lot of price and Nigerians are paying dearly for it in terms of price of fuel and the dollar rate.
“When we got the budget document, the President implored us to interrogate and investigate it and make sure that we come up with a document that is all-encompassing and can suit the needs and yearning of Nigerians.
“To start with, the increase in budget has to do with the issue of the exchange rate differences.
“The current rate of the dollar at the black market is between N1,200 and N1,300 and in the Central Bank of Nigeria, it is between N950 and N1,000, and we have a budget, which was pegged at N750; if you look at the gap, you’d realise that it has covered a lot of gaps already.
“Again, we did some external consultations, most especially in the area of oil benchmark and petroleum resources; if we had gone in that line, we’d have pegged it at N850/N900 to a dollar and we agreed that we wanted to be conservative in our approach so that nobody will think that we want to increase the budget for any ulterior motive. That was why we left it at N490 billion out of which N44billion is for statutory transfers; so effectively, the increment is about N446 billion that is going into the Federal Government’s pocket as consolidated revenue.
“So, you can see that what necessitated our action is the economic reality and what is obtainable in both the black and open markets.”
Withhold assent, NLC tells Tinubu
But reacting to this yesterday, the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, expressed outrage over the increase in the budget by N1.2 trillion.
President of NLC, Joe Ajaero, said the labour movement found it difficult to believe that a nation already borrowing to service its debt will allow itself to be dragged down the path of increasing its debt burden which is what the extra budgetary provision entailed.
He said: “The unfortunate news of the National Assembly’s additional N1.2 trillion in the total budgetary expenditure as proposed in the 2024 appropriation bill is not just saddening but highly insensitive for a nation that is already haemorrhaging with its citizens suffering.
“This is despite initial assurances to the contrary by Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, the Senate majority leader.
“For a nation that is already in a fiscal quandary to add extra N1.2trn to its budget, which is nearly five per cent of the entire budget it proposes to spend not on productive or capital projects but on recurrent expenditures, can only be described as fiscally thoughtless.
‘’There may not be any other motive behind this increase except the usual creation of channels to corner public resources into private pockets. We do not see any serious reasons or an exigency that warrants such additions which have every potential of increasing the size of a budget that is already kwashiorkored and burdened by deficits.
“We find it difficult to believe that a nation that is already borrowing to service its debt will allow itself to be dragged down the path of increasing its debt burden which is what this extra-budgetary provision entails for all intents and purposes.
‘’We consider the stated purpose as frivolous and would have been accommodated in the original budget if it was tweaked a little. Those in government must remember the consequences of every one of their actions on the poor and vulnerable, especially on the future of our dear nation.
‘’This nation has already been pushed into a debt trap and it requires creativity and restraint by government operatives to pull us out of its grips.
“We, therefore, urge the President of the Federal Republic to see in this an opportunity to demonstrate to Nigerians that he is truly prepared to combat corruption and close all channels that allow the leakage of our meagre national resources by withholding assent to this bill until the vexatious addition is removed.
‘’We count on the President to protect our nation and ensure that we do not exacerbate an already bad situation. The initial N27.5 trillion as already presented, is sufficient to take care of the extra which Nigerians may already perceive as budget padding for the benefit of a few individuals in government.
“Buhari’s first budget in 2015 was bedevilled by allegations of budget padding. Tinubu’s first budget in office should not be tarnished by another type of padding, so, we plead.”
It’s worrisome, says NECA
Reacting, Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association, NECA, noted that bogus allocation to items without direct correlation to the listed items above was worrisome.
Director-General of NECA, Adewale-Smart Oyerinde, said this development called to question the seriousness of the administration in pursuing the 7-point agenda of the government.
He said: “While we commend the National Assembly for expeditiously passing the 2024 budget, the general expectation remains that the welfare of the masses, improvement in infrastructure, education, security and health, among other critical budget and developmental items, will take priority over other budget items.
“In line with the need to repair the foundation for local production, we hope greater attention will be given to infrastructure that will aid local manufacturing to boost the capacity of the private sector to create jobs, generate more revenue for the government and reduce the spiralling insecurity situation in the country.
“Bogus allocations to items without direct correlation to the listed items above is not only worrisome but also calls to question the seriousness of the administration in pursuing the 7-point agenda of the government.”
LP faults hefty allocation for NASS, demands priority for welfare, security of Nigerians
On its part, the Labour Party, LP, also picked holes in the miserly allocations to education and health in the passed N28.777 trillion in which the National Assembly earmarked hefty sums for itself.
The party demanded that the President Bola Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress, APC, administration revisit the budget and pay greater attention to the security and welfare of Nigerians in the new year as opposed to its current fixation on the comfort of government officials.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, the LP said: “As we bid the year 2023 farewell and usher in 2024, we in the Labour Party pray that God intervenes and brings succour to us all as Nigerians have been exposed to uphold hardships because of maladministration and insensitive government in place.
“While we pray, we also enjoin Nigerians to take a closer look at budgetary provisions and sectoral allocations in the 2024 budget.
“Without a doubt, the President-led APC administration has displayed a disdain for the security and welfare of Nigerians.
“Looking at the 2024 budget, we cannot fail to notice the undue attention given to the comfort of those in power to the detriment of the majority of Nigerians.
“Critical sectors of the economy such as education and health were allocated N1.27trn and N1.33trn, representing 7.9 and 4.8 percent of the entire budget respectively.
“This is in a budget which has items such as N3bn for Senate car park; N1bn for constitution review; N78.62bn for the House of Representatives and N36.727bn for the National Assembly Office, N4bn for National Assembly Recreation Centre among other unbelievable allocations.
“Our presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Mr. Peter Obi, had earlier drawn attention to the misplaced priorities and insensitivity of the President and his party in the allocation of staggering sums for the renovation of the President and Vice President’s offices and trips for them and their hangers on for which a humongous amount of N35.961bn was set aside.
“Nigerians have continued to suffer in the hands of bandits, terrorists, kidnappers and criminals of all sorts but all the administration is concerned about is the comfort of those elected to serve and make life better and more meaningful for ordinary Nigerians.
“It is our hope that those concerned will have a rethink and put the welfare and security of ordinary Nigerians first in the coming year, it is not too late to revisit the 2024 budget.”
Jerking up of 2024 budget, uncharitable, uncalled for —CACOL
Also reacting yesterday, The Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership, CACOL, Chairman, Mr Debo Adeniran, described the action as “uncharitable, unwarranted” by the lawmakers.
He said: “The problem with our Nigeria political leaders is that they are not realistic with their projection. Even the initial budget proposal is beyond our capacity, we are targeting borrowing to fund the budget.
“Nobody is talking about the effects on Nigeria’s economy and the citizens. Our leaders did not make adequate efforts to retrack all the trapped funds discovered in different parts of the world. They have not taken back Diezeni, Abacha’s loots.
“The jerking up is unwarranted, uncharitable of our leaders. It will put Nigeria into further debts.
Nigerians should be vigilant and ready to take action if the fund is not well utilised for the purpose.”
It will stoke inflation, drive up budget deficit —David Adonri
Also reacting to the increase in the national budget by the NASS, David Adonri, Vice Chairman, Highcap Securities, said that bloating the expenditure would not only stoke inflationary pressure but also increase budget deficit.
He said: “The increase of the proposed budget by N1.2 trillion, amid an excruciating debt burden that FGN is currently bearing, is surprising. Perhaps, NASS assumes that if foreign exchange rate increases to N800/$ in 2024, more revenue will accrue to the government to meet the increase.
‘’This may be counter-productive because rising exchange rate is a major cause of inflation which the government intends to reduce in 2024.
“While commending the NASS for speedy passage of the 2024 budget, bloating it further will increase budget deficit which will in turn increase borrowing and make fiscal policy expansionary while monetary policy is contractionary. This may lead to policy mis-match.
“I hope NASS is not paving the way for further macroeconomic instability by this ill-advised amendment.”
It’ll put more pressure on the currency —Nnamdi Nwizu
Nnamdi Nwizu, co-founder, Comercio Partners Limited, an investment bank, said: “I need to see the full details of the increase alongside the rationale for it . However, from a monetary policy standpoint, more spending means more inflationary pressure and pressure on the currency .
“The adjustment in the exchange rate also points to expectations of the National Assembly on the exchange rate next year , but also means more revenue for the government and they will convert the USD at a higher rate.”
Not bad for economy —Yomi Falana
On his part, a Lagos-based analyst, Mr. Yomi Falana, said: “We have not yet been told the reasons for budget increase. But it is likely to be fueled partly by the increase of foreign exchange rate to $850/$, from the earlier proposed $800/$.
‘’Generally, it is not a bad thing to increase the budget, provided the basis for the increase is good for the nation’s economy.”
It’ll reduce ultimate size of fiscal deficit –Olayinka
However, Tajudeen Olayinka, CEO, Wyoming Capital and Partners, said that the increase will reduce the size of the fiscal deficit.
“Since the average Naira exchange rate is currently above N800, and that only an improvement in dollar liquidity can get it to trade below N800/$, it follows therefore, that the adjustment by National Assembly will only increase Naira component of the federation account, and by extension, the projected revenue of federal government, thereby reducing the ultimate size of fiscal deficit.
“Furthermore, a major improvement in dollar liquidity through the market, and stability in the external sector, will together, bring down the exchange rate and cause inflation to moderate. “What the National Assembly is signaling to the president is; do whatever you can do to bring down the exchange rate to N750/$ through the market, but until then, let us use a more realistic forecast to deal with the ultimate size of fiscal deficit. So, the adjustment by the National Assembly has not done any damage to the budget parameters,” he said.
N800/$1 exchange rate looks too optimistic —Former CIS President
Commenting as well, Immediate past President, Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers, CIS,Olatunde Amolegbe, said : “I have said the budget is a little conservative given where we are coming from and the stated ambition of this government.I do not have any issue with the increase in budget size by the National Assembly as long as the increase is targeted towards Capital Expenditure and not to balloon the already bloated recurrent expenditure in the budget
“Increasing the exchange rate assumption by the NA is an indication that the Budget Office was too optimistic in its estimates in the first place.Even the N800/$1 looks too optimistic where we stand at the moment.
“For me, budget performance is more important than just rhetorics. The government needs to expedite those portions of the budget that will have an immediate impact on poverty reduction and generate employment for the people.”

When the subject of Michelin Guides comes up, your mind is likely to go to the restaurant world — after all, the guides’ distinctive star ratings system has helped make the reputation of numerous establishments around the globe. But that’s not the only thing the company is set to begin evaluating; as Heidi Pérez-Moreno at The Washington Post reported in October, the company is planning to expand into a new field soon — hotels.
There are many questions that follow naturally from this announcement — including, but not limited, to how the guides might treat a hotel that also includes a restaurant, and whether the hotel guide would use a star system similar to the restaurant guide. In the case of the latter question, the answer involves a slight shift: hotels will be rated on a scale of keys rather than of stars.
To gain a broader understanding of the hotel guide, Air Mail’s Adam Hay-Nicholls spoke with Michelin Guide director Gwendal Poullennec. Poullennec told Air Mail that the Guide‘s restaurant and hotel ratings would be separate from one another. “A great restaurant with poor rooms — we won’t recommend the rooms,” Poullennec said. “Likewise, a great hotel with a not-so-great restaurant — we will recommend you dine out.”
Michelin Guides Addressing Mental Health Effect of Losing a Star
It’s a challenging time for the industryThe hotel ratings project, Poullennec told Air Mail, has been in the works since 2018. He also hinted at what the hotel guide ratings would emphasize. “We won’t be featuring integrated resorts,” he told Air Mail. “We advise people to travel and discover cultures.” With over 5,000 establishments reportedly being scrutinized, something to look forward to in the new year.

Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II to step down from throne on Jan. 14
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II announced Sunday that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik.
The queen, who is Europe’s longest-reigning living monarch, announced during her New Year’s speech that she would step down on Jan. 14th, which is the anniversary of her own accession to the throne at age 31 following the death of her father, King Frederik IX.
Margrethe, 83, said the back surgery she underwent in early 2023 led to “thoughts about the future” and when to pass on the responsibilities of the crown to her son. “I have decided that now is the right time,” she said in her speech.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen paid tribute to her in a statement, offering a “heartfelt thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for her lifelong dedication and tireless efforts for the Kingdom.”
Margrethe is the “epitome of Denmark” Frederiksen’s statement read, and “throughout the years has put words and feelings into who we are as a people and as a nation.”
The 6-foot-tall (1.82-meters-tall), chain-smoking Margrethe has been one of the most popular public figures in Denmark, where the monarch’s role is largely ceremonial. She often walked the streets of Copenhagen virtually unescorted and won the admiration of Danes for her warm manners and for her talents as a linguist and designer.
A keen skier, she was a member of a Danish women’s air force unit as a princess, taking part in judo courses and endurance tests in the snow. Margrethe remained tough even as she grew older. In 2011, at age 70, she visited Danish troops in southern Afghanistan wearing a military jumpsuit.
As monarch, she crisscrossed the country and regularly visited Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, the two semi-independent territories which are part of the Danish Realm, and was met everywhere by cheering crowds.
Denmark has Europe’s oldest ruling monarchy, which traces its line back to the Viking king Gorm the Old, who died in 958. Although Magrethe is head of state, the Danish Constitution strictly ruled out her involvement in party politics.
Yet the queen was clearly well-versed in law and knew the contents of the legislation she was called upon to sign.
She received training in French and English from her earliest years, as well as Swedish from her mother. In addition to archaeology, she studied philosophy, political science and economics at universities in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Cambridge along with the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne in Paris.
Ever since his birth on May 26, 1968, Frederik André Henrik Christian has been the heir to the Danish throne.
He is the oldest son of Queen Margrethe and her late French-born husband, Prince Henrik, who died February 2018. Frederik, 55, has a younger brother, Prince Joachim.
Since the age of 18, he has served as regent whenever his mother was outside the kingdom and carried out official duties, shaking hands with thousands and receiving foreign dignitaries.
The queen’s announcement made up only a few sentences at the end of her wide-ranging New Year’s speech which reflected on the “turbulence and upheaval in the world” amid the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the climate crisis.
But she also thanked her nation’s people for “the warmth and hospitality I meet with everywhere in Denmark.”
While lavishing accolades on the queen, the prime minister also looked to the future.
“In the new year, Crown Prince Frederik will be proclaimed king. Crown Princess Mary will become queen. The kingdom will have a new regent and a new royal couple,” he said in his statement. “We can look forward to all of this in the knowledge that they are ready for the responsibility and the task.”

A Mega da Virada drew the numbers for the unprecedented prize of R$588 million on the night of this Sunday, the 31st. The jackpot, the largest amount ever accumulated in the history of Mega-Sena, also suffered a sudden increase of R$18 million minutes before the draw.
In addition to the winning bet, whoever matches four or five numbers also wins on the court and on the corner. It is worth remembering that the Mega da Virada is not cumulative for future draws and, when no one matches the six numbers, the value is divided between the winners of the corner.

Fidelity Investments Slashes Valuation of a Stake in Elon Musk’s Company
In a significant financial development, Fidelity Investments has reportedly slashed the valuation of a stake in one of Elon Musk’s companies, as reported by Axios. While the name of the specific company remains undisclosed, it’s noteworthy that Fidelity often reassesses the valuations of its private investments as part of its regular investment management process. These valuation adjustments mirror changes in various factors such as market conditions, company performance, and other influential elements.
Implications of the Valuation Cut
The reduction in valuation could have a myriad of implications. It could potentially influence investor sentiment and may impact the company’s capability to generate new funds. It’s critical to remember that valuation cuts in privately held companies are not a rarity, particularly when market dynamics fluctuate. However, when such reductions concern renowned companies tied to high-profile figures like Elon Musk, they inevitably attract substantial attention.
The Unnamed Musk’s Company
Despite the lack of specific information about the company, the financial world has its eyes set on this development. Such changes in valuation are often scrutinized by investors and analysts for indications of broader trends in the private investment sector or within the specific industries these companies are part of.
SpaceX’s Valuation Cut
As an aside, it’s worth mentioning that Fidelity has previously cut its valuation of Elon Musk’s rocket company, SpaceX, by 48%, citing the company’s recent financial struggles. Other major investors, such as T. Rowe Price and BlackRock, also followed suit, reducing their SpaceX valuations. This marks the second instance of Fidelity reducing the valuation of a Musk-led firm.
