Stanford closes out nonconference play with a 98-38 rout of Morgan State
By NATHAN CANILAO
Associated Press
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Cameron Brink had 18 points, five rebounds and six blocked shots to lead No. 9 Stanford to a 98-38 win over Morgan State on Sunday night.
Elena Bosgana had 14 points and six rebounds, and Hannah Jump added 13 points on 6-for-10 shooting as Stanford (11-1) won its seventh straight home game.
Laila Fair led Morgan State (4-9) with eight points and eight rebounds.
Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer won her 1,198th career game, moving five wins away from the all-time record for career victories in college basketball (men’s or women’s) held by former Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski.
“We had six people in double figures, everyone got to play and no one got hurt,” VanDerveer said. “That’s a good night.”
Stanford took control of the game early, outscoring Morgan State 29-15 in the first quarter.
The Cardinal allowed just six Morgan State points in the second quarter and held the Bears to 27.8% shooting from the field in the first half. Brink was a big part of Stanford’s success in the first half, scoring 16 points, blocking five shots and grabbing four rebounds.
At halftime, Stanford led 51-21.
The Cardinal continued to dominate in the second half. Stanford won the third quarter by a wide margin, outscoring the Bears 24-6.
Stanford’s defense forced 20 turnovers, which led to 33 points, and held Morgan State to 26.1% shooting from the field for the game.
VanDerveer said there has been a point of emphasis the this season to play at a faster pace.
“I thought we ran the floor really well,” VanDerveer said. “We really want to play up-tempo.”
With a 48-point lead going into the fourth quarter, Stanford used the final 10 minutes to play some of its younger players. Freshman forward Nunu Agara scored seven of her 14 points in the fourth quarter as VanDerveer sat the Cardinal’s core rotation players.
“Just being to able experience this early so I could get used to it, and it’s been really fun to play in general,” Agara said.
Redshirt sophomore Jzaniya Harriel played 17 minutes, scored 13 points and dished out five assists. She is another player who VanDerveer is looking at to be another piece in her rotation when conference play starts.
“I think I’m trying to play to the best of my ability so that (Tara) can gain more confidence in me to play,” Harriel said. “I think I knocked some shots down, passed the ball and that was the focus for me today.”
The Cardinal closed their nonconference schedule with a 12-1 record. Their only loss came on the road against Gonzaga on Dec. 3.

BTS’ V might be private about most things in life but it’s no secret that brands jump at the opportunity to feature him in their endorsements. Combine this with the vocalist’s taste for all things luxurious and ever-growing popularity — and it’s no surprise that he’s helmed many advertisements. We take a look at the most iconic of the lot.
When he’s not making fans swoon with his smooth as ‘butter’ vocals, BTS’ Taehyung — or V — is known to influence fashion trends and socialise with the who’s who of the entertainment world. Beyond the seven-member group — one of the biggest and most successful K-pop acts around — his popularity has only gone from strength to strength. A testimony to this? The vocalist and lead dancer holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest time to reach one million followers on Instagram — a feat he achieved in 2021.
Besides, in 2021 Korea Times stated that according to a popular e-commerce brand, V takes up 26 percent of the Google searches in South East Asia. ARMY as well as media sources have dubbed him the ‘out-of-stock’ fairy. A report by South China Morning Post elaborates on this, noting that his merch almost always sells-out the fastest in the group and he’s known to have caused a USD 5,000 Tom Ford grey suit to run out after he wore it to a photoshoot.
These factors, along with his taste for jazz music, vintage aesthetics, and all things designer solidified his reputation as one of the most luxury-loving members of the ‘Dynamite’ group. Naturally, brands came knocking — with Times Now reporting that the singer had earned a whopping USD 4.5 million through them. We’re exploring a few brand endorsements that underline the career of BTS’ V.
Best brand endorsements of BTS’ V

View this post on Instagram

The French luxury-goods name recently signed an endorsement deal with BTS’ V — having him sport the Panthère de Cartier collection. The brand stated that the artist’s ‘magnetic gaze,’ was a perfect fit. Its senior vice president and chief marketing officer added, “V follows his trajectory with the same determination as the panther,” according to The Indian Express. South China Morning Post noted that the payoff was quite instantaneous, with a Panthère de Cartier necklace worth USD 26,700 selling out within minutes of its images with V hitting the internet.
Celine
In 2023, French luxury name — home to exquisite ready-to-wear and leather goods — recently announced Taehyung’s addition to its lineup of stars. The artistic director extended the singer an invitation to the brand’s Cannes 2023 dinner and he attended the fashion show in Paris as well. Sportskeeda noted that he posted a video of CELINE HOMME WINTER 23 collection on his Instagram stories — leading to a whopping 2 million views, the brand’s most-viewed this year.
That aside, images of the BTS star hanging with BLACKPINK’s Lisa — a global ambassador for Celine — went viral on social media. Korea Joongang Daily notes that hashtags “Lisa X Celine” and “Taehyung X Celine” emerged as the most-searched keywords on Twitter and TikTok. A post on V’s Instagram about the event raked up over 12 million likes. He also later attended iconic model Naomi Campbell’s glitzy birthday party clad in Celine — black collarless jacket, leather belt, faux-bow details, the works. No surprises that the brand — according to a report by Hindustan Times — noted a 51 percent growth after bringing V on board.

Ever since Larian launched the Xbox Series X|S version of its hit D&D RPG Baldur's Gate 3 earlier this month, there's been a bug that has caused many players of that version to lose their save games. That bug is still occurring, but Larian now says it has come up with a new workaround that could help some of those players.
We’re aware that there is a save issue on Xbox that continues to linger throughout the holidays. It occurs when exiting the game after saving. The game thinks the save was successful but due to a firmware issue, the save file is not fully committed to disk yet.
— Larian Studios (@larianstudios) December 31, 2023
Microsoft is…
In a post on its X (formerly Twitter) account, Larian says this loss of save games happens a player saves a game and then exists Baldur's Gate 3. Larian says that the save file is "not fully committed to disk yet" due to a firmware issue. The developers add that Microsoft's Xbox support team is trying to fix the issue, but due to the holiday time period, "everyone is working at lower capacity" which means a permanent fix for this problem may take longer than normal.
However, Larian does have a new workaround for this issue:
- Create a Larian account at https://larian.com/account.
- Go to the options menu from the main menu. Under gameplay, activate cross-saves, linking your Larian and Xbox accounts.
- From now on, your last 5 saves will automatically be uploaded to the Larian servers. It is important that you do not exit the game before the upload is finished. The upload is finished when the message “Syncing cloud save” is no longer visible.
- If the firmware bug occurs, you will need to re-activate the cross-save functionality in the options screen. This will give you access to the save games that were successfully uploaded.
The developer added that it plans to allow even more save games to be uploaded to its servers in the near future. The X post ended with Larian stating that it understands that losing these save games in Baldur's Gate 3 "is frustrating, and unacceptable." The developer stated it will get this bug fixed "as quickly as possible." | https://www.neowin.net/news/larian-offers-another-workaround-for-baldurs-gate-3-xbox-players-who-are-losing-save-games/ | 2024-01-01T04:25:32Z |

Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram each score 26 points, Pelicans top Lakers 129-109
By BRETT MARTEL
AP Sports Writer
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Zion Williamson has no interest in forgetting the New Orleans Pelicans’ most embarrassing loss of the season.
Memories of the 133-89 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the In-Season Tournament semifinal in Las Vegas on Dec. 7 are painful, Williamson said, but the sluggish performance might also have been a “blessing in disguise.”
Williamson and Brandon Ingram each scored 26 points and the Pelicans beat the road-weary Lakers 129-109 on Sunday night to improve to 7-3 since leaving Las Vegas.
“It definitely brought us together more as a team,” Williamson said. “I feel like we’ve been playing great since then. We’ve still got some things to figure out, but so does every other team.”
Los Angeles was coming off a 108-106 loss at Minnesota on Saturday night, while New Orleans was off two days after beating Utah at home Thursday night.
LeBron James scored 34 points and former Pelican Anthony Davis added 20 points and 10 rebounds, but they didn’t get enough help as the Lakers lost for the seventh time in nine games.
“We have to figure it out and get better, for sure,” James said. “We’re not one team that likes to play from behind. We’ve been in that position a lot this year.
“The flight last night did not help, obviously,” added James, who played through flu-like symptoms on Saturday and Sunday. “We didn’t get to the hotel last until 3:45 (a.m.). So, it was a rough day trying to recalibrate and get ready for the game. But I’m happy I was able to go out and just try to make some plays happen for my team.”
The Pelicans had the look of a team seeking redemption for it’s previous dud against the Lakers — and played with vigor in front of a packed and festive New Year’s Eve crowd.
“The way we lost the game, you want to redeem yourself,” Pelicans coach Willie Green said. “We talked about it the last coupe days and watched some film on it — as hard as it was.”
CJ McCollum added 22 points for the Pelicans, who led by 19 points and responded to each comeback bid with the help of 50% 3-point shooting (17 of 34) as a team and crafty 6-foot guard Jose “Grand Theft” Alvarado’s four steals and and two blocks.
Alvarado is “one of our emotional leaders and his ability to impact this team with his energy, his effort, it was huge tonight,” Green said. “It’s a blessing to have a guy like that on your team who can really ignite the whole building.”
It was the fourth time that New Orleans’ “Big Three” — Williamson, Ingram and McCollum — each scored 20 or more in one game, including once last season and three times in the past month. The Pelicans are 4-0 in such games.
“Not only are they scoring, but they’re sharing the ball with each other and their teammates,” Green said. “That’s the trust factor we have to have.”
Larry Nance Jr. had 11 points and 10 rebounds in just his second game back from a rib injury. Herb Jones and Jonas Valanciunas each scored 13 points.
The Lakers went into the game without forward Cam Reddish (adductor) and D’Angelo Russell (back), while the Pelicans were without one of their top 3-point shooters in Trey Murphy III (left knee). All were day-to-day.
Then Lakers forward Rui Hachimura left the game in the first half with a left calf strain.
Despite missing Murphy, New Orleans was on from deep. McCollum made five early 3s and finished with six. Jones made three 3s from the right corner in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, Alvarado delighted the crowd by picking the pockets of both James and Davis during the second quarter, when New Orleans led by 19 points.
“LeBron, that’s one of the greatest players to ever play this game and for me to be on the court, for me to get steals, for me to do anything, that’s pretty amazing,” said Alvarado, who was undrafted out of Georgia Tech. “When I get back to watch videos when I grow old, and they say that (James) is the best player to play this game, at least I got a video of him (with me) getting a steal.”
James had 21 of his points in the first half and Davis had 13 in the opening 24 minutes.
But the Pelicans hit 10 of 17 3s in the first two periods, and took a 74-57 halftime lead after Ingram’s block of Max Christie’s shot ignited a fast break finished by Nance’s layup.

With stellar performances and riveting plots, the best Bollywood suspense movies have made a league of their own, garnering high ratings on the popular movie-ranking website IMDb.
Making some of these best suspense-thrillers like Drishyam (2015), Kahaani (2012) and Ittefaq (1969) accessible for viewing anytime are the OTTs such as Amazon Prime Video, Netflix and Disney+. The enormous library of films on these platforms also includes flicks that, despite having intriguing storylines and convincing characters, did not perform well at the box office in India.
Best Bollywood suspense thrillers to add to your movie list, recommended by IMDb
Radhika Apte’s Phobia (2016) is one title that failed to impress the audiences. Directed by Pavan Kirpalani, this psychological thriller revolves around Mehak (Apte), a young woman who succumbs to severe agoraphobia — fear of the public or crowded places — after being sexually assaulted by a taxi driver. Her friend Shaan (Satyadeep Mishra) believes moving into a new apartment might help her, but matters only get worse when Mehak feels the apartment is the most unsafe place in the world.
However, if you are up for a poignant crime thriller, Mom (2017), offers the right dose of suspense. Devaki Sabarwal (Sridevi) teaches at the same school where her stepdaughter, Aarya (Sajal Ali), studies. One day, when Aarya is attacked and sexually assaulted, Devaki sets out to find justice for her daughter.
Ek Hasina Thi (2004), featuring Saif Ali Khan and Urmila Matondkar, is also counted among the best Bollywood suspense thriller movies. It is about a woman’s quest to seek revenge when her partner betrays her and gets her wrongly arrested.
Meanwhile, those looking for a dash of action can find the Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-starrer Khakee (2004) an engaging watch. It revolves around a police officer transporting a terrorist from Chandigarh to Mumbai. But the journey turns into a nightmare when they are ambushed.
Directors like Sujoy Ghosh, Nishikant Kamat, Neeraj Pandey and Sriram Raghavan have shown the potential of Bollywood suspense movies and thrillers. Their titles have earned National Awards, Filmfares, IIFA Awards and many other esteemed recognitions.
If you are looking for some gripping suspense flicks, our list of some of the best Bollywood thriller movies will help you narrow down your search. But remember to stack up your bingeing nibbles, because every story is as intense as it gets.

Trump says 2nd U.S.-N.K. summit to be held in Hanoi
He made public the summit venue in a Twitter message on Saturday (Seoul time) after Stephen Biegun, the U.S. envoy for North Korea, returned to South Korea following a trip to Pyongyang.
Trump earlier said he will meet Kim in the Southeast Asian nation from Feb. 27-28.
"My representatives have just left North Korea after a very productive meeting and an agreed upon time and date for the second Summit with Kim Jong Un," Trump tweeted. "It will take place in Hanoi, Vietnam, on February 27 & 28. I look forward to seeing Chairman Kim & advancing the cause of peace!"
Biegun held pre-summit talks with his North Korean counterpart, Kim Hyok-chol, in Pyongyang from Wednesday to Friday. The U.S. State Department called Kim the "special representative for U.S. affairs of the State Affairs Commission."
Trump apparently favored Da Nang, where he traveled in 2017 for an APEC session, while the North's leader wanted the summit to be held in Hanoi, where his country has an embassy.
Kim Jong-un reportedly plans to make a state visit to Vietnam just before or after the summit with Trump.
While the first U.S.-North Korea summit in Singapore last year was somewhat symbolic in that it merely laid the foundation for headway to be made, many believe that the second one should produce more tangible results to keep the nascent Korean Peninsula peace process moving.
Washington has pressured Pyongyang to take concrete, substantive steps for its nuclear disarmament. North Korea has been demanding the United States' "corresponding" measures for its denuclearization steps that may include partial sanctions relief.
Some observers have raised the possibility of the leaders agreeing to declare a formal end to the 1950-53 Korean War and setting up a U.S. liaison office in the North's capital, which Pyongyang has desired.
In return, the secretive communist regime may agree to fully dismantle its Yongbyon nuclear facilities.
Although nothing has been confirmed as to what the two nations will agree upon at the upcoming summit, Trump hinted that the U.S. may help North Korea revive its economy if they reach a deal.
"North Korea, under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, will become a great Economic Powerhouse," Trump wrote on Twitter. "He may surprise some but he won't surprise me, because I have gotten to know him & fully understand how capable he is. North Korea will become a different kind of Rocket - an Economic one!" | https://en.inform.kz/news/trump-says-2nd-u-s-n-k-summit-to-be-held-in-hanoi_a3496636/ | 2024-01-01T04:25:40Z |

Judge allows new court in Mississippi’s majority-Black capital, rejecting NAACP request to stop it
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A federal judge will allow Mississippi officials to move forward with creating a state-run court in part of the majority-Black capital city of Jackson. Attorneys for NAACP say the new court undermines democracy because local voters or local elected officials won’t choose its judge or prosecutors. The Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have a judge appointed by the state Supreme Court chief justice and prosecutors appointed by the state attorney general. U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate late Sunday dismissed requests to block the new court that was created by the majority-white and Republican-controlled Mississippi Legislature. Jackson is governed by Democrats. | https://kesq.com/news/2023/12/31/judge-allows-new-court-in-mississippis-majority-black-capital-rejecting-naacp-request-to-stop-it/ | 2024-01-01T04:25:46Z |

Trump to depart on Feb. 25 for Hanoi summit with Kim
"I will be leaving for Hanoi, Vietnam, early tomorrow for a Summit with Kim Jong Un of North Korea, where we both expect a continuation of the progress made at first Summit in Singapore," Trump tweeted.
Trump hailed his "great relationship" with Kim, adding that the DPRK could "fast become one of the great economic powers anywhere in the World" in the absence of nuclear weapons.
According to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Kim left Pyongyang on Saturday afternoon by train for Hanoi for the second U.S.-DPRK summit.
Trump told the press on Wednesday that his trip to Vietnam would be "very successful," anticipating his two-day meeting with Kim would "accomplish a lot."
Trump announced on Feb. 8 that his second meeting with Kim would take place in Hanoi on Feb. 27-28. His first meeting with Kim in Singapore in June resulted in improved U.S.-DPRK relations.
However, differences on such key issues as a roadmap for denuclearization, the lifting of sanctions and whether to issue a war-ending declaration still hinder negotiations. | https://en.inform.kz/news/trump-to-depart-on-feb-25-for-hanoi-summit-with-kim_a3501608/ | 2024-01-01T04:25:47Z |

North Korea says it will no longer seek reunification with South Korea, will launch new spy satellites in 2024
By Heather Chen and Yoonjung Seo, CNN
Seoul, South Korea (CNN) — North Korea will no longer seek reconciliation and reunification with South Korea, Kim Jong Un has declared, as his nation vowed to put three new military spy satellites into orbit in 2024.
Kim said inter-Korean relations had become “a relationship between two hostile countries and two belligerents at war,” the state-run news agency KCNA reported.
“It’s time for us to acknowledge the reality and clarify our relationship with the South,” Kim said, adding that if Washington and Seoul were to attempt a military confrontation with Pyongyang, its “nuclear war deterrent will not hesitate to take serious action.”
“I believe that it is a mistake that we must no longer make to deal with the people who declare us as ‘the main enemy’ and seek only opportunities for ‘[our] regime collapse’ and ‘unification by absorption’ by collaborating for reconciliation and unification,” Kim added.
North and South Korea have been cut off from each other since the end of the Korean War in 1953 which ended with an armistice. The two sides are still technically at war, but both governments have long sought the goal of one day reunifying.
Relations have ebbed and flowed over the decades, but tensions have remained particularly high in more recent years after Kim Jong Un ramped up the country’s nuclear weapons program in defiance of international sanctions.
Last week, KCNA reported that Kim had instructed the country’s army, munitions industry, nuclear weapons and civil defense sectors to accelerate war preparations in response to “confrontation moves” by the US.
At the time, KCNA described the political and military situation on the Korean Peninsula as “grave,” saying it had reached an “extreme” point because of Washington.
Kim’s latest comments on reunification were significant, according to Hoo Chiew-Ping, a senior fellow at the East Asian International Relations CAUCUS (EAIR) and member of the Asia Pacific Nuclear Advisory Panel (APNAP), who said the North Korean leader has been increasingly walking away from “inter-Korean relations” in recent years.
“This will mark a critical milestone on the Korean Peninsula where extending the olive branch by future South Korean administrations will be vehemently rejected by North Korea,” Hoo told CNN.
Pyongyang was keener to further relations instead with current allies like “China and Russia, and a selected network of countries around the world which will continue to enable its proliferation and financial outreach,” she added.
“The US, South Korea and Japan are excluded from Kim’s strategic outreach for now.”
Ja Ian Chong, an associate professor of political science and nonresident scholar at Carnegie China, said Kim’s speech “reflects the reality that unification is not a short or even medium-term possibility (for the Koreas).”
“Given this situation, the question is whether non-unification means continuation of the status quo or if North Korea believes it needs to act to protect itself more actively, or even preempt what it sees as possible aggression from South Korea,” Chong added.
“The former is tolerable even as North Korea seeks to increase its defensive capability, since it keeps the status quo and is better than some belief in armed unification. If the latter, then friction and even tensions with South Korea and northeast Asia will likely rise,” he warned.
Spy satellites
After repeated failures, North Korea in November said it had put its first spy satellite into orbit.
Analysts said if the spacecraft works, it could provide significantly improve North Korea’s military capabilities, including enabling it to more accurately target opponents’ forces.
Kim hailed the feat, celebrating with workers at the launch site according to images put out by state media. South Korea called the launch a “clear violation” of a UN Security Council resolution that prohibits North Korea from using ballistic missile technology.
On Sunday KCNA said North Korea plans to bolster that program with three additional spy satellites in the new year.
“Based on the experience of successfully launching and operating the first reconnaissance satellite in 2023, the task of launching three additional reconnaissance satellites in 2024 was declared to vigorously promote the development of space science and technology,” the statement read.
Throughout the course of 2023, Pyongyang also launched a series of intercontinental ballistic missiles tests, including a long-range solid-fueled missile called the Hwasong-18 in December, which defense experts and regional watchers says showed a “maturing” North Korean missile program.
“While North Korea, like every country, has missile tests fail, it’s clear that the overall reliability of North Korea’s missiles is quite respectable,” Jeffrey Lewis, a professor at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, previously told CNN.
North Korea’s testing and strong rhetoric may be playing into Washington’s hands, said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul.
“The North Korean threat is motivating greater trilateral cooperation among the US, Japan, and South Korea, including real-time sharing of missile tracking data. Officials in Seoul knew this ICBM test was coming, and had coordinated in advance with partners in Washington and Tokyo,” he said.

Turkey collects historical records from 45 countries
"We have signed cooperation protocols with 45 countries from different parts of the world to date to interchange data between the archives," Ugur Unal told Anadolu Agency.
Unal said the efforts aimed at enriching Turkey with the historical memory abroad. "Turkish archives have an important place in the world."
"[...] the power Turkey gained in the last years both in the political and economic aspects [in the Balkans] has made our work easier in record keeping," he said, Anadolu Agency reports.
Turkey is able to bring records related to its history from the Balkans today, Unal added.
Stating that the international cooperation efforts have gained momentum in the recent years, Unal said all of the documents bear great importance.
Some 700,000 digital images of documents were added to Turkish archives from countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Albania, and Serbia, according to the official.
"As part of the project completed in North Macedonia, images of 130,000 documents, which are directly related to the Turkish history, were obtained," he said.
On a large number of documents which would shed light on economic, social, and cultural issues, Unal said: "What we need to do is to collect this historical memory and transfer it to next generations."
He highlighted that Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) and Foreign Ministry showed great support for the projects.

Turkmenistan to host OSCE conference on countering terrorism financing
The issue of the preparation of this event was discussed during the regular meeting of the OSCE Security Committee, where Ashgabat made a statement on the topic "Priorities of Turkmenistan in the field of security."
In September 2018, representatives from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan participated in an OSCE-supported regional seminar "Combating financing of terrorism: best practices within the OSCE region" in Ashgabat.
Experts from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan presented their countries' experiences in combating the financing of terrorism and foreign terrorist fighters, highlighting the importance of the relevant legislative framework and of conducting national risk assessments related to the financing of terrorism.
The participants also shared best practices in inter-agency interaction in the detection of cases of the financing of terrorism and foreign terrorist fighters and stressed the role of international cooperation in the detection of transboundary financial flows.
During the practical exercises, participants worked in groups to review cases related to the investigation of terrorist financing cases by financial and criminal intelligence units. | https://en.inform.kz/news/turkmenistan-to-host-osce-conference-on-countering-terrorism-financing_a3498622/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:01Z |

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

The Beacon celebrates New Year’s Eve
TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - New Year’s Eve parties are underway across much of the nation and right here at home.
The Beacon in downtown Topeka is bringing paradise to its guests.
On Sunday night they held a tropical-themed New Year’s Eve party, featuring Top City Entertainment Co., dancing, drinks, snacks, a photo booth and a champagne toast.
“This is the third year that we’ve done our New Year’s Eve party and we always look forward to it it’s a really good time it’s something here in Topeka that we try to keep consistent because we used to go elsewhere for New Year’s Eve parties and we usually have a great time and people have a good time too,” says one of the owners, Courtney Stemler.
Guests can also enjoy a VIP island-themed buffet experience then party late into the night.

Surfer dies after shark bite, officials say
PAIA, Hawaii (KHNL/Gray News) - A 39-year-old surfer died Saturday after suffering a shark bite at Maui’s Paia Bay, the Department of Land and Natural Resources confirmed.

The County of Maui posted on its official Instagram that Baldwin Beach Park and Lower Paia Park were closed due to the shark incident.
First responders were patrolling the area on shore and on jet skis, according to Maui Fire Department. Department of Land and Natural Resources officials said shark warning signs are up one mile on either side of the incident site.

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

Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers had no issue whatsoever on Sunday night in Minneapolis.
Now, they hold their playoff fate in their own hands.
Love and the Packers rolled to a dominant 33-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday night to close out Week 17 of the season. The win kept Green Bay’s playoff hopes alive headed into next week’s finale in Wisconsin, where the Packers have to win to make it in.
The Packers got the jump on Sunday night, and took advantage of an early mistake from rookie quarterback Jalen Hall — who the Vikings opted to start in place of Nick Mullens this week. Hall, after going three-and-out on the opening drive, was picked off on just his second pass attempt of the game. That set up a perfectly-thrown 33-yard touchdown from Jordan Love to Jayden Reed, and gave the Packers an early 10-0 lead.

Then, after holding the Vikings to just a field goal, Love completed a diving 2-yard touchdown run to give Green Bay a 17-3 lead just before halftime.
The Packers then scored once more before halftime after Preston Smith forced a fumble in the final minute of the second quarter. Love hit Reed again in the middle of the field, and Reed broke up the left sideline and forced his way into the end zone for his second score of the game. That gave Green Bay a 23-3 lead at halftime.

Love went 14-of-21 for 180 yards and had three total touchdowns in the first half.
The Vikings benched Hall for Mullens in the second half, though that wasn't much better. He did lead the Vikings down into the red zone on his opening drive of the third quarter, but the Packers stopped them on fourth down and took over.
Love then mounted an eight-minute drive and hit a wide-open Bo Melton in the end zone, which put the Packers up 30-3. From there, the Vikings were way too far out of it. Green Bay held on to grab the 23-point win, which brought them back to .500 on the season.
Mullens went 13-of-22 for 113 yards and had a touchdown in the second half for the Vikings. Ty Chandler had 40 rushing yards on 10 carries, and Justin Jefferson led the team with 46 yards on three catches. The Vikings’ lone touchdown of the day came after Najee Thompson recovered a botched punt return to start the fourth quarter, which set up a 6-yard score to Johnny Mundt.
Love finished throwing 24-of-33 for 256 yards with three touchdowns. Aaron Jones had 121 rushing yards on 20 carries, and Melton had 105 yards on six catches. Reed had 89 receiving yards with his two touchdowns, but he was ruled out in the second half with a chest injury.
Packers need to beat Bears
Though the Detroit Lions have already won the NFC North, the Packers’ playoff hopes are still alive after Sunday night’s win. They now just have to beat the Chicago Bears next weekend at Lambeau Field to earn a wild-card spot, which would bring them back into the postseason for the fourth time in the last five seasons.
The Vikings weren’t eliminated from playoff contention, but their path to the postseason won’t be easy. They’ll have to beat the Lions, and then both the Packers and the Seahawks have to lose, and then either the Buccaneers or Saints have to lose, too.
The Bears have all-but been eliminated from the playoffs already. Everything would have to go right for them next week in order to make it in. They are, however, on a bit of a hot streak. The Bears have won four of their last five games, and are fresh off a dominant 37-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The only loss in that stretch was to the Cleveland Browns, where they fell by three points after a botched Hail Mary.
The Packers will enter that contest in Green Bay on a two-game win streak. While last week’s three-point win over the lowly Carolina Panthers likely didn’t do much to reassure fans, Sunday night’s dominant showing should certainly help. If the Packers lose, that opens the door for either the Seahawks or the Saints to sneak into the postseason.

Al-Qaeda reportedly threatened an “open-source Jihad” against Western and Jewish targets, including airlines, in a video released within the last week.
Several federal authorities, including the TSA, and law enforcement agencies told Fox News Digital that they’re aware of the video and monitoring the situation.
The TSA said Sunday morning that they’re “not aware of any credible threats resulting from this video to date,” but are on high alert with tens of thousands to over a million people expected to flock to major cities to ring in the New Year.
“Foreign terrorist organizations routinely highlight transportation modes during the holidays,” the TSA said in an email. “TSA is operating at a high level of security and constant state of vigilance, as always.”
FBI, LAW ENFORCEMENT BRACE FOR POTENTIAL THREATS DURING NEW YEAR’S EVE BASH
The original video was reportedly posted on Christmas Day — Dec. 25 — and called for increased attacks on American, British and French airlines, according to a report by Atlas News.
The menacing video reportedly mentioned specific airlines, including American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Airlines, British Airways, EasyJet, Air France and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, according Atlas News.
NEW YEAR’S SAFETY: SELF-DEFENSE EXPERT SHARES TIPS TO SURVIVE ACTIVE SHOOTER
The FBI told Fox News Digital that “various foreign terrorist media organizations” have called for lone-wolf attacks in the U.S. since Hamas started a war with Israel on Oct. 7.
“The FBI is closely monitoring threats to public safety during the holiday season, which may be amplified by the ongoing Israel-HAMAS conflict,” the FBI said Sunday morning.
“We take all potential threats seriously and will work closely with our law enforcement partners to determine their credibility, share information and take appropriate investigative action.”
WATCH: BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK AT NYC NYE SECURITY CENTER
James Smith, assistant director in charge of New York’s FBI Field Office, told Fox News Digital in an interview on Friday that the FBI have been tracking potential terror threats, as well as the rise in hate crimes, since the War in Israel started.
“I would say overall that, yes, there are threats out there, but we are out there to protect the community day in and day out,” Smith said.
He stressed it’s imperative for everyone in Times Square — or anyone they’re out celebrating — to keep a watchful eye and “see something, say something.”
The NYPD referred to Mayor Eric Adams’s press conference, where he said there are “no credible threats” that they’re aware of, but the NYPD is working with dozens of law enforcement agencies to protect The Big Apple.
The TSA said it “maintains a risk-based, intelligence-driven approach” to protecting U.S. airlines.
“That includes multiple layers of security, both seen and unseen,” the TSA said in an email statement about Al-Qaeda’s threatening message to Western airlines.
“The TSA and DHS are in close and ongoing touch with all of our partners, and will continue to monitor the situation and adjust security measures as and when necessary.”

Some of the latest safety technologies being deployed are computed tomography scanners and credential authentication technology.
And the security doesn’t stop at the checkpoints.
Explosive-detecting canines and Federal Air Marshals will have a visible presence in the airports.
Smith wants the American people to celebrate the start of 2024 — just with a vigilant eye.
“Have a good time. Do not worry. We are there to protect you,” Smith said.
“Only thing I’m asking if you see something, say something. Tell the police officer at the corner or report something if you think something is wrong.”
The FBI asked members of the public to immediately report anything they consider suspicious to law enforcement or contact their local FBI Office: www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices.

U.S. ambassador: N. Korea sanctions to linger until denuclearization
Speaking at a security forum in Seoul, Harris also dangled the prospect of a "brighter, more secure and more prosperous future" for the impoverished communist nation in case it fulfills its denuclearization commitment stated in the Singapore summit last year between its leader Kim Jong-un and President Donald Trump.
They are scheduled to meet again in Hanoi, Vietnam, from Feb. 27-28. Their summit is expected to focus on fleshing out Pyongyang's denuclearization steps and Washington's compensation in return.
"Our goal remains the same: to achieve our shared objective of a final, fully verified denuclearization of the DPRK as committed (to) by Chairman Kim in Singapore," Harris said during the forum hosted by the local nonprofit think tank Chey Institute for Advanced Studies. The DPRK is the acronym for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
"The United States and our South Korean ally are in complete agreement that sanctions will remain until DPRK denuclearizes," he added.
In the Singapore summit, Kim agreed to work toward the "complete denuclearization" of the Korean Peninsula but with little clarity on how to achieve that long-elusive goal.
The North has demanded the U.S.'s "corresponding measures" in return for its additional denuclearization steps, which may include partial sanctions relief, humanitarian aid, the establishment of a U.S. liaison office in Pyongyang and the declaration of a formal end to the 1950-53 Korean War.
But the U.S. has been adamant in its demand for the North's concrete, substantive steps toward its nuclear disarmament, such as a full declaration of its nuclear and missile programs.
Apparently emphasizing Beijing's role in keeping anti-Pyongyang sanctions, Harris said, "Without China's support on sanctions, we wouldn't have achieved (the) progress that we have made so far."
Touching on last year's "whirlwind of diplomacy," including three inter-Korean summits, Harris credited South Korean President Moon Jae-in for his role in laying the "groundwork" for lasting peace.
"President Moon has made tremendous efforts to reach out to the North Koreans," he said.
Harris also used his speech to promote Washington's policy for a "free, open" Indo-Pacific.
"Developments on the Korean Peninsula are an important part of the U.S. commitment to a free, open Indo-Pacific. This is not just the U.S.'s interests but in all of our nations' strategic interests," he said.
"When we say open, we want all nations to enjoy open access to the seas and airways. And we want a peaceful resolution of territorial and maritime disputes, key to international peace," he added.
He went on to say that economically, "open" means fair and reciprocal trade that will ensure open investment environments and transparent agreements -- the key agenda for the trade talks between Washington and Beijing. | https://en.inform.kz/news/u-s-ambassador-n-korea-sanctions-to-linger-until-denuclearization_a3498093/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:15Z |

New Delhi: As the eventful year of 2023 comes to an end, India welcomes 2024 with great fervour and joy. The past year proved significant for India on both the national and global fronts. The G-20 summit convened in the national capital, while Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the Moon's South Pole.
As this remarkable year concludes, 2024 holds promising events for the nation. From the inauguration of Ayodhya's much-awaited Ram Temple to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the new year marks the beginning of a new chapter for India.
Cities across the country welcomed the new year with lavish celebrations and joy. Goa dazzled with a magnificent display of fireworks, and people gathered at Mumbai's Gateway of India to welcome 2024.
In Delhi, a New Year's aarti was performed at Jhandewalan Devi Temple, and huge crowds gathered at Connaught Place.
Similarly, Kamarajar Salai in Chennai saw a large turnout, and Mall Road in Shimla was filled with people welcoming the upcoming year.
Notably, Kiribati, an island nation with 33 atolls, was the first place to bid farewell to 2023 and welcome 2024 as the International Date Line loops around its easternmost islands.
The International Date Line, established in 1884, plays a crucial role in marking the official start and end of each day worldwide.
This imaginary line, located 180 degrees East or West, precisely sits halfway from the prime meridian in Greenwich, UK, defining time zones.

North Korea’s Kim orders military to ‘thoroughly annihilate’ US, South Korea if provoked
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his military to “thoroughly annihilate” the United States and South Korea if provoked, state media reported Monday, after he vowed to boost national defense to cope with what he called an unprecedented U.S.-led confrontation.
Kim is expected to ramp up weapons tests in 2024 ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November. Many experts say he likely believes his expanded nuclear arsenal would allow him to wrest U.S. concessions if former President Donald Trump is reelected.
In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
In a meeting on Sunday with commanding army officers, Kim said it is urgent to sharpen “the treasured sword” to safeguard national security, an apparent reference to his country’s nuclear weapons program. He cited “the U.S. and other hostile forces’ military confrontation moves,” according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
Kim stressed that “our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment’s hesitation” if they opt for military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, KCNA said.
In his New Year’s Day address Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he will strengthen his military’s preemptive strike, missile defense and retaliatory capabilities in response to the North Korean nuclear threat.
“The Republic of Korea is building genuine, lasting peace through strength, not a submissive peace that is dependent on the goodwill of the adversary,” Yoon said, using South Korea’s official name.
At the party meeting, Kim called South Korea “a hemiplegic malformation and colonial subordinate state” whose society is “tainted by Yankee culture.” He said his military must use all available means including nuclear weapons to “suppress the whole territory of South Korea” in the event of a conflict.
South Korea’s Defense Ministry warned in response that if North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, South Korean and U.S. forces will punish it overwhelmingly, resulting in the end of the Kim government.
Experts say small-scale military clashes between North and South Korea could happen this year along their heavily armed border. They say North Korea is also expected to test-launch intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland U.S. and other major new weapons.
In 2018-19, Kim met Trump in three rounds of talks on North Korea’s expanding nuclear arsenal. The diplomacy fell apart after the U.S. rejected Kim’s offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex, a limited step, in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
Since 2022, North Korea has conducted more than 100 missile tests, prompting the U.S. and South Korea to expand their joint military drills. North Korea has also tried to strengthen its relationships with China and Russia, which blocked efforts by the U.S. and its partners in the U.N. Security Council to toughen U.N. sanctions on North Korea over its weapons tests.
KCNA said Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged New Year’s Day messages on Monday on bolstering bilateral ties. North Korea faces suspicions that it has supplied conventional arms for Russia’s war in Ukraine in return for sophisticated Russian technologies to enhance the North’s military programs.
Estimates of the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from about 20-30 bombs to more than 100. Many foreign experts say North Korea still has some technological hurdles to overcome to produce functioning nuclear-armed ICBMs, though its shorter-range nuclear-capable missiles can reach South Korea and Japan.

California authorities arrest traveling carnival worker accused of sexually abusing children: police
California authorities announced Friday that they arrested a traveling carnival worker accused of molesting children.
Suspect James Donnelly was arrested on Dec. 23. In a statement released on Facebook, San Bernardino Police Department explained that officers were dispatched to a victim’s residence after learning about the sexual abuse allegations.
After speaking to the first victim, authorities later found two other people who alleged they were sexually abused by Donnelly.
“After further investigation, two more victims, both male and female, were discovered and reported crimes against James Donnelly that spanned over seven years,” police said in a release. “The victims were approximately ten years old when the sexual abuse started.”
CALIFORNIA BOY, 14, ARRESTED FOR KILLING PARENTS, CRITICALLY INJURING SISTER
After nearly two months of investigating, police arrested Donnelly while he was setting up a New Year’s Eve festival shortly before Christmas.
“On December 23, 2023, Donnelly was located and arrested at a local Southern California Fair Ground setting up for a New Year’s Eve festival,” the police’s statement continued. “Donnelly has worked for traveling carnivals for the past 30 years.”
The carnivals took place in Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, in addition to California. Authorities say that the suspect dated women who had children, and targeted the minors while staying at their homes.

“Throughout the years, Donnelly met women who lived near the carnivals and would stay short or long-term,” police said. “The relationship he built with these women allowed him to have access to children who he would sexually assault.”
San Bernardino police are actively searching for additional victims. Anyone with information about other crimes is encouraged to contact police by calling 909-384-5631. | https://www.wgmd.com/california-authorities-arrest-traveling-carnival-worker-accused-of-sexually-abusing-children-police/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:19Z |

Five things I care about
The Ravens demonstrate their complete transformation
The Ravens took down the 49ers and Dolphins, two of the best operations in the league, by a combined 51 points in back-to-back weeks. They did it on the way to clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC and vaulting their quarterback to the driver’s seat of the MVP conversation.
Statement wins don’t even begin to do this justice.
As MVP chants rained down all afternoon, Lamar Jackson predictably didn’t engage much and took a “job’s not done” approach in postgame interviews. Jackson and everyone affiliated with the Ravens don’t have their eye on MVP trophies or Week 17 wins. They want the Super Bowl, plain and simple. However, he entertained queries about the differences between this year’s Ravens and previous editions.
After the game, Jackson told Evan Washburn of CBS, “This year our guys stayed locked in,” when comparing Sunday’s win to the last time Baltimore and Miami went to battle. In 2022, the Ravens controlled the game but let it slip away in the fourth quarter as the Dolphins fired vertical shots over the top of the typically stout Ravens defense. Jackson emphasized that this group knows how to finish, something they’ve struggled with in recent seasons. They’ve proven they're different by keeping their foot on the gas and putting away top-tier teams the last two weeks.
That’s not the only way this year’s Ravens are wildly different than previous renditions. You need only look back one year ago today to spot the contrast.
It’s been such a breath of fresh air to watch the Ravens offense this year stocked with actual playmakers. In Week 17 last season, their two most productive WRs each had just one catch for nine yards. pic.twitter.com/VkxHEvoTIQ
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
Look at that box score from 2022's Week 17 loss and compare it with what you watched from the Ravens on Sunday. Lamar Jackson threw five touchdown passes and finished the game with a perfect 158.2 passer rating. The critical note: he activated multiple pass-catchers.
Zay Flowers finished the day with a mere three catches but those went for 106 yards and a score, the majority coming on a 75-yard deep shot with layers of YAC on top. Isaiah Likely scored twice, once on a 35-yard catch-and-run downfield play and another on a beautifully designed leak route near the goal line. Rashod Bateman and Jackson didn’t connect on a 40-plus-yard pass early in the game but the receiver put that behind him and finished with 54 yards and helped move the chains with consistent intermediate route running. Odell Beckham snared a contested catch on a go-route for 33 yards on his lone reception to move the team inside the five-yard line.
Even in the running back room, as Gus Edwards was thumping away, Justice Hill was a consistent source of big plays. He averaged 12.8 yards on his five catches and 16 yards on his three rush attempts. Not to mention a whopping 50.5 yards on his pair of kick returns.
The Ravens have never come close to being able to throw this many playmakers at an opponent. The 2022 Week 17 example is extreme but the lack of truly dangerous, much less multi-layered pass-catchers has haunted the Ravens with Lamar Jackson under center.
In one offseason, they’ve added some serious juice to the offense.
It’s important to note that, while guys like Flowers and Beckham are new faces, some of these players who are making a crucial impact are holdovers. That’s where the coaching change comes in. All of these players are being deployed in a unit with the ruthlessly creative Todd Monken at the controls. If the contrast in juice didn’t catch your eye, the night-and-day difference in the play design certainly should.
Awesome play design on this one https://t.co/IQ11jBstvr
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
As Jackson alluded, the job isn’t done. But as this Baltimore team marches toward their desired goals, they can do so with the confidence that they have the goods that older models didn't possess. They have all the makings of a great, modern NFL offense as they prepare for a postseason run. We don’t know how this journey will end for the 2023 Ravens but we know they’re far better prepared for the road than ever before.
The 49ers take care of business
The team that fell to the Ravens last week was able to shake off their Christmas day letdown in Week 17. The 49ers should beat a floundering Commanders team that was forced into starting the quarterback they tried to bench by double digits — and that’s precisely what they did.
As the defense created chaos on their side, Brock Purdy checked in with all his usual efficient marks. He averaged 8.2 yards per attempt and completed 78.6% of his passes. Purdy consistently connected with his top wideout, Brandon Aiyuk. A Washington defense that can’t cover a soul yet still rolls out more man-to-man than almost anyone in the league was always a plus matchup for Aiyuk.
Yet, it was the nature of their plays that mattered. Aiyuk made catches on out-breaking patterns, in tight coverage on go-routes and put the cherry on top with an improvisational touchdown when Purdy went into creation mode.
So many top-tier plays from Brandon Aiyuk today it’s hard to narrow it down to the best one but this improv play where he and Purdy go into creation mode to get a big window is pretty sweet
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
pic.twitter.com/nuUUs0IHYY
These types of plays simply weren’t present in pre-Purdy iterations of the 49ers offense.
The win did come at something of a cost, as so many fantasy managers are ready to tell you. Typically, I don’t feel bad for gamers when their RB1 touches the ball 18 times and records 91 total yards. When that player is Christian McCaffrey, I’ll allow a small touch of pity.
McCaffrey suffered what was announced as a calf injury in the second half of this game. Elijah Mitchell came in and ultimately helped close this thing out. He's one of the best backup runners in the league. There's no real replacing of McCaffrey and that will certainly be true when the competition gets much tougher than the Commanders.
That’s what makes wrapping up the NFC’s top seed in Week 17 so important, thanks to this win and a stunning Eagles loss. While McCaffrey’s fantasy season is over, his and the 49ers’ real pursuit of glory is just beginning. With the top seed all wrapped up, they can place McCaffrey on ice next week right before the whole team gets a bye during the Wild Card round. We should all — outside of fans of other NFC teams — be rooting for his total health, because as the Aiyuk-to-Purdy connection reminded us on Sunday, this offense is something we just haven’t seen before during a 49ers postseason run.
Jayden Reed
One of my favorite wide receiver prospects from the 2023 NFL Draft was now-Packers rookie, Jayden Reed. Sunday Night Football was just another example in a season’s worth of evidence for why I was so high on Reed. He’s quietly one of the most dynamic players in yet another great rookie class.
Jayden Reed isn't going to be a slot-only player for the Packers@MattHarmon_BYB on Reed's potential ceiling as a high impact player pic.twitter.com/mwYwl2bjd9
— Reception Perception (@RecepPerception) August 25, 2023
Jordan Love’s first pass of the game was a deep shot to Reed. It wasn’t the first time he looked for Reed in the vertical game as the two would later connect on a 33-yard post route. The more Reed shines in the deep game, the better off this Packers offense is. The best part of Reed’s game is that he’s multi-faceted. He can win on big-boy routes against press coverage (as the video above shows) but the Packers are comfortable working him in on designer plays underneath. His second touchdown of the day came on an explosive run-after-catch play after he ran a gorgeous route against man coverage.
I often said during the draft process that Reed was one or two tweaks away from being a high-level starting wide receiver. There are still some kinks Reed needs to work out in the contested-catch game but otherwise, as a separator and runner after the catch, Reed has made those leaps I wanted to see.
The Packers have drafted a lot of skill-position players the last two years. All of them look like they will be useful-to-very-good players in the league. With Jordan Love looking like a quality starter, we should be interested in all of them at different levels.
I said it when he was drafted and I’ll say it again: Reed will be the best of the bunch.
My only negative note from Reed’s rookie season is that he’s been dealing with many nagging injuries this season. He missed the second half of this SNF game after re-aggravating a chest injury he’s been nursing since Week 12. Part of Reed’s appeal is that he’ll handle the dirty work underneath and in the YAC game in addition to his special teams contribution. He’s going to take punishment in those areas. Hopefully, the Packers can work out how to keep him healthy for the long term and allow him to shine fully.
Jayden Reed has superstar potential. Plain and simple. He has the route chops, explosive ability and open-field instincts to be a deadly playmaker. Reed and Love’s connection is perfectly emblematic of the Packers' hyper-fast rebirth on offense. He will be right at the top of my fantasy targets for next season.
Rams cap off an all-time fantasy waiver run
In Week 17, the Los Angeles Rams locked up an NFC playoff berth and they couldn’t have done it without the impact of two unlikely young heroes. Kyren Williams ends the fantasy football season as the RB4 in Yahoo standard scoring in just two games (RB2 in points per game) and Puka Nacua finishes as the WR6.
You were a big-time winner if you went hard at them after Week 1 on waivers.
The Kyren Williams demolition tour, half-point PPR:
— scott pianowski (@scott_pianowski) December 31, 2023
- RB7, RB4, RB26, RB3, RB30, RB2. Missed four games.
- RB1, RB9, RB18, RB5, RB11, RB1 (in progress).
Not everyone could have drafted McCaffrey. Anyone could have FAABed Williams. Most impactful universally-available move.
This is purely anecdotal, but I ran into three to four teams in my own fantasy playoff runs that had both Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua. I talked to multiple people who were facing the same type of squad while giving advice. It wasn't an utterly unseen stack. Imagine getting two elite-level difference-makers off the waiver wire.
That’s one way to push for a championship.
We might never see a situation like this again where two players from the same offense come off the waiver wire and finish as top-10 players. We can still learn two things here, however.
For one, if you can identify the value offense in fantasy football in the offseason, you gain a big edge. The Rams were not often discussed as this type of team but with a veteran high-end quarterback fully healthy in Matthew Stafford to elevate young playmakers and an elite-tier play-caller, they were a fantastic candidate.
Secondly, it pays to be aggressive with your FAAB early in the season. With the rest of the season waiting, it can be hard to blow it all right away. You know there will be some adds you can't even consider making down the line. However, we get some of our most valuable and most surprising revelations in Week 1. If you can adequately react to the correct information, you'll find true difference-makers worth unloading the wallet for early on. Those who went hard for Nacua and Williams are proof positive of profitable early aggression.
Mason Rudolph has been enough
Look, I said many stupid things about the ceiling of the Steelers offense. I overlooked a lot of potential pitfalls for the unit but it was because there was serious talent in the wide receiver and running back rooms. Those takes didn’t age well.
But I had no idea that Mason Rudolph was the guy we needed to get the offense unlocked.
I’m being a bit sarcastic, but there’s no denying that Rudolph has given the Steelers their most productive play behind center in 2023.
Games with 250+ passing yards this season
— Underdog NFL (@Underdog__NFL) December 31, 2023
Mason Rudolph: 2-of-2 starts
Kenny Pickett: 1-of-12 starts
Rudolph has a passer rating north of 100 in back-to-back games. But more importantly, he’s been far more (wisely) aggressive than either of his predecessors.
In Week 17, Rudolph had a 2.8 time to throw and averaged 8.0 air yards per pass attempt. He’s willing to stand in under pressure and fire the ball downfield. George Pickens has come alive in the last two weeks. He recorded another 131 yards after taking over the game in Week 16. Even the customarily target-constricted Diontae Johnson hauled in multiple deep receptions against Seattle.
While I don’t think Rudolph is anything close to the answer for Pittsburgh’s future questions at quarterback, I at least owe him an apology for completely writing him off. He’s shined a light on the mercurial talent in this receiver room by simply giving them accurate chances downfield. At the very least, he’s served as a reason to be in on these wideouts again in 2024 if the Steelers are serious about upgrading the offensive coordinator and quarterback spot. For that reason alone, he’s been enough.
Five things I don’t care about
Previously-held limitations on CeeDee Lamb
Prior to 2023, there had been a general sense of “wanting more” from CeeDee Lamb’s statistical output. As this season winds to a close, those sentiments are ancient history.
On Saturday, he put on a complete and utter show against an overmatched Lions secondary. By the time the game ended, Lamb had locked up his spot as the Cowboys franchise leader in receptions (122) and receiving yards (1,651). He’s currently the top-scoring wideout in fantasy football.
Lamb was one of the right answers.
I have folks asking me if he should be in the Justin Jefferson tier in dynasty fantasy football — and even ranked ahead of the Vikings wideout. If you don’t play in that format, the gravity of that sentence may not hit but essentially Jefferson’s place atop the receiver rankings was nearly untouchable. Maybe I’m being a prisoner of the moment but I think it’s worth a conversation.
Lamb has more than graduated into the elite tier of NFL wide receivers. He’s among the best in the game and is a spectacular separator against every form of coverage at every level. Unlike Jefferson, I know for sure who will be throwing him the ball next season and can project his partnership with Dak Prescott for multiple seasons to come.
Final note on this: CeeDee Lamb made noise after the 49ers loss, stating that he wasn't getting enough work. It's hard to remember now but this Cowboys offense was not making him the focal point of the passing game to start the season and the on-field product was suffering. It was clearly an issue and the receiver called it out. His opportunity was not in line with his ability. Targets aren't just earned — they need to be assigned and Dallas wasn't doing a good enough job there. It was easy to see.
Said a lot of dumb things this season, I say a lot of dumb things every season, but charting CeeDee Lamb today and I feel really good about calling for the Cowboys offense to revolve around CeeDee right before Week 6...when they did exactly that and went on a tear. It was so… https://t.co/ila2y8pUeo
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 12, 2023
So let this serve as a reminder when we want to criticize receivers for making noise about their lack of opportunity. Sometimes, these guys are right and they can help their team win by getting more work. That’s especially true when said receiver is an obvious stone-cold baller who is almost always open like CeeDee Lamb. What an incredible season for the fourth-year receiver.
The Eagles' talent
A few weeks ago, in this very same column, my stance on the Eagles was that even if they were playing below their record while beating subpar teams, they’d eventually be fine because they have better players than most of their opponents.
At this point, my stance has well since changed.
The warning signs have been building for weeks. A Week 17 loss to the now 4-12 Cardinals that dramatically helps their NFC rivals sounds the panic alarms.
The Eagles offense had their moments. Jalen Hurts tossed three touchdowns, including two to Julio Jones. They had an efficient day on the ground in a plus matchup. But they weren't perfect; they haven't been on that side of the ball all season. We know that's a massive issue for the Eagles at this stage of their season because the defense gives this team zero margin for error.
Kyler Murray became just the latest quarterback to tear apart the Eagles' pass defense. His 116.7 passer rating was easily his best since returning to the NFL field in early November. He hadn’t completed over 67% of his throws in any game. He checked in with 80.6% in Week 17. Murray had gone under 6.5 yards per attempt in all of his previous four games. The Eagles afforded him a 7.5 average.
Murray and the Cardinals found this level of passing success without their No. 1 receiver in Marquise Brown and their breakout tight end recording just 48 yards on seven targets. Eight Cardinals caught a pass against the Eagles. They could burn this defense in any such way.
Again, none of this is new. The Eagles' pass defense has been an issue all year long. The more troubling part is that the run defense has completely fallen apart as the season comes to a close.
James Conner became the latest bell-cow back to barrel through this front seven. He took his 26 carries for 128 yards and a score. Even backup running back Michael Carter averaged a whopping 8.7 yards per carry. The Eagles employ many proven veterans and several highly drafted players in the front four. And yet it was Arizona that controlled the line of scrimmage.
The Eagles defense is beyond a problem. It’s a key part of their identity and a crippling factor in their disappointing season. The offense has to cover for it and nothing that side of the ball has shown this season over the last two months gives you faith they can be that dominant of a group. And with No. 2 receiver DeVonta Smith leaving the game on crutches in a walking boot, that assignment is only going to get more complicated if he has to miss time.
Talent can trump all when that talent is available and playing to the height of its power. That just hasn’t been true of the 2023 Philadelphia Eagles.
Bucs offense when they’re off-script
Of course, the week I made a big deal about Baker Mayfield being my biggest miss of the 2023 season on the podcast, the Bucs laid an egg against an inferior Saints team at home. That said, I don’t think this offense is the biggest concern around this team. That would be the defense.
The Bucs can still win the NFC South if they merely beat the lowly Panthers next week. They should get the job done and overall, are still the best option to represent this division in the postseason. They have the most intriguing ceiling when the offense is cooking. There’s just next to no shot anyone can take them seriously against playoff-level competition with that defense.
Even if the Cowboys and Eagles, the two teams they’d likely face in Round 1 of the postseason, have their issues, both teams have the skill-position talent to rip apart that defense. Maybe with the serious concerns the Eagles are facing with their own stop unit the Bucs would have a chance to win in a shootout but it’s a stretch.
This Week 17 result was a reminder that when you can push the Tampa Bay offense behind the action by multiple scores in negative game script, you won’t get their best in return. Turnover creeps into Mayfield's game and what’s starting to develop into a solid run game with Rachaad White becomes irrelevant.
Justin Fields’ flaws
Justin Fields is not perfect. Anyone can see that. He takes too many sacks and isn’t always perfectly in rhythm in the underneath passing game.
I care about those flaws, but not enough to dissuade a quarterback-needy team that isn't in a position to take a top rookie prospect from a pursuit of the soon-to-be former Bears passer.
With the Panthers' loss today, Chicago officially netted the first overall pick in the draft. It’s nothing short of a coup to acquire a future first and for that pick to become the top selection. Twists of fate don’t always bend to this level of fortune. The Bears know that and will likely cash in that lottery ticket to restart the quarterback clock. Fields is a known commodity and the rookies are not but the upside of Caleb Williams or Drake Maye will be too enticing to pass up.
That will put Fields on the move and they can get a decent return for him. Sam Darnold was once traded for a future second-round pick and additional selections. This would be a similar type of swap out for young quarterbacks but Fields has been much better than Darnold was in New York to start his career.
Fields appears to be ending the 2023 season on a high note. As Week 17 comes to a close, he is second behind only Lamar Jackson in quarterback rushing yards despite only playing 12 games, and more importantly, he vaulted DJ Moore to a career season. Moore sits at 1,300 yards receiving and nine total scores, both career-high marks. Fields and Moore were excellent at slicing apart man coverage, an excellent signal for the passers’ future endeavors.
Fields isn’t the picture-perfect franchise solution for his next team but he’s some level of an answer. There will be teams out there that aren’t in range for a difference-making rookie who should come calling on Fields. Some of those teams will actually offer superior offensive line play, offense-centric coaching staffs and perhaps a deep set of wide receivers — the Bears got next to nothing from anyone beyond Moore — than what Fields experienced in Chicago.
The Jaguars win
I shouldn’t be so hard on Jacksonville. I often say that blowout wins can tell us something and great teams demolish bad teams. Well, the Jaguars indeed swept away the Panthers with relative ease. However, I’m not sure beating a team this deep into chaos, where their owner apparently throws drinks into a crowd, moves me much.
This video appears to show Panthers owner David Tepper throwing the contents of a drinking cup in the direction of (presumably) a Jaguars fan today. This is shocking. https://t.co/xv3du6hJlp
— Jonathan Jones (@jjones9) December 31, 2023
Any good vibes Carolina enjoyed last week in an upset win while Bryce Young put up career-best passing numbers were quickly wiped away this week. Even if Jacksonville’s offense struggled to move the ball, the Panthers just went nowhere on their side. They officially sent the No. 1 overall pick to the Chicago Bears with Sunday’s result.
The Jaguars were able to get a big play out of the run game with Travis Etienne Jr. on a 62-yard touchdown scamper. That was a welcome sign for a team that’s struggled to run the ball for months. The run blocking has been a mess at times but much like the issues in the passing game, you can chalk up most of the issues to overall design. Etienne got out in space on this run, where he’s at his best. There just hasn’t been enough of that this season.
Press Taylor kept this guy under 4.0 YPC for an entire season https://t.co/t719vJDPIH
— Mario Puig (@ThePostingScout) December 31, 2023
At least he closed things out for his fantasy managers. His fantasy numbers have mostly been a mirage and not even close to indicative of the health of Jacksonville’s run game. Nevertheless, he rewarded gamers with a hammer shot in Week 17.
Given the matchup, I just struggle to put much stock into a new wrinkle like this. It would be great to see more of this from Jacksonville as they head into a postseason push. So, do it again. Go out and run on the Titans, who so often sell out to stop ground games, in Week 18. Make a statement before heading into the NFL playoffs — because doing it to the Panthers just doesn’t move the needle. | https://www.hot105fm.com/news/national/week-17-caredont/IAYA5UFITTPDTEUBAQLNHTCPTE/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:19Z |

U.S. Diplomatic Mission to Kazakhstan launches 4th annual 48 Hour Film Race
The signature event is a two-day film race, challenging participants of all abilities - from novice to professional - to create a four-minute movie, in just 48 hours. The race will be held April 6-7. Completed films will be screened at movie theaters across the region and compete in a juried selection for prizes, the Mission's official website reads.
"The 48 Hour Film race is much more than a two-day event. We are working with our implementing partners to develop a 48 Hour Film Race community and network, not only in Kazakhstan, but across Central Asia," said U.S. Consul General Eric Meyer. "Movies are more than art," he continued, "they are also a business. As the world increasingly looks to video for news and entertainment, we see a lot of potential for emerging filmmakers in Central Asia to make careers out of their passion and for the film industry to grow. The U.S. Consulate General in Almaty is proud to be working in partnership to support these emerging filmmakers."
This year, registered participants will have - in addition to the 48-hour race - access to a series of networking and skill-building opportunities throughout the year.
Screening of all film submissions that meet the competition criteria will take place in April and May across the region. Top films will receive prizes, including the grand prize - three all-expense paid, one-week film-school experiences at the Digital Film Academy in New York (DFA-NYC). President and founder of DFA-NYC Patrick DiRenna said he and the school were very proud and honored to be a part of the 48hfr and thanked the U.S. Consulate General in Almaty for supporting film and digital media in the region.
Last year, the 48hfr attracted more than 1500 participants and received more than 330 film entries, which were shown in cities across Kazakhstan and in Bishkek. Films have also been screened at festivals and events such as the Go Viral Festival in Almaty, the Eurasia International Film Festival, the Baikonyr Short Film Festival, the Almaty Indie Film Festival, Dushanbe My Vision, and the World Nomad Games.
48hfr online registration is open to citizens from all five Central Asian countries 18-years of age or older and is now open through April 4. A media kit is available here and includes useful information about the race such as background, schedule, links to past films, and biographies.

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

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The Bay Area is ready to wring out the old and ring in the new year.
Fireworks will light up the skies over San Francisco's waterfront at midnight.
"Spectacular as always. We do our best to amaze," said Pat Dyas from Pyro Spectaculars by Souza.
Pyrotechnics expert Dyas says his crew was busy loading mortar shells on a barge for the New Year's Eve fireworks show. They'll be launched about a thousand feet from the Ferry Building. Dyas believes the weather will cooperate.

"It just seems like, given the fact we get fog, it seems like people of San Francisco appreciate what we do more, especially when we have good weather," Dyas said
This week, ABC7 News obtained a threat assessment from the FBI, flagging San Francisco as an "attractive target" for would-be attackers, due to planned New Year's Eve celebrations. Police officals say while there is no credible threat, the department is prepared.
"There'll be additional officers out at venues, like the fireworks show at Embarcadero. We'll have officers out around the city," said Assistant SFPD Chief David Lazar.
An early "Noon Year's Eve" celebration was hosted by the Warriors at Thrive City for families who can't stay up until midnight.

An ancient Bell was chiming inside the Asian Art Museum, a New Year's Eve tradition for 38 years. The public was invited to ring the bell. According to Buddhist teachings, the bell is rung more than 100 times before midnight to purge vices and bad luck.
"So on New Year's Eve, you will ring the bell 109 times as a time of reflection and let it all go," said Eri Takahashi from Oakland Zen Center.
Many hope that 2024 brings good things.
"I hope we are healthy and have a wonderful new year," said Shelly Zheu.

The Cascade Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of maestro Michael Miropolsky, will open the new year performing its Brahms Violin Concerto at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 8, at the Edmonds Center for the Arts, 410 4th Ave. N., in Edmonds.
A pre-concert lecture at 6:30 p.m. by KING-FM radio personality Dave Beck will preview the musical highlights for the evening.
Ilana Zaks, a violinist with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, will be the evening’s featured soloist, performing German composer Johannes Brahms’ Violin Concerto, one of the most beloved concertos in the violin repertoire.
“Ilana’s many honors include top prizes at national and international competitions,” Miropolsky said. “Critics praise her playing as ‘fearless, refreshing and commanding,’ and her style as ‘captivating and delightful.’ We are very much looking forward to her debut with us with Brahms’ magnificent Violin Concerto.”
At age 11, Zaks had her symphonic debut with the Boston Civic Symphony, under the conductorship of Max Hobart. Originally from Boston, she began playing the violin at the age of 3, and earned her bachelor’s degree in violin performance, while minoring in liberal arts, at the New England Conservatory. She earned her master’s degree in music from Yale University. The young violinist is also an alumna of the Perlman Music Program, where she studied for seven years with the world-renowned violinist Itzhak Perlman.
The concert will open with French composer Daniel-Francois Auber’s Overture to the opera, La Muette de Portici.
“Not widely known today, Auber had a long life (he lived 89 years) and wrote 39 operas,” Miropolsky said. “His major opera, The Mute of Portici, played an unusually important role in history; its premiere performance sparked riots leading to the 1830 Belgian Revolution. What a fascinating example of how classical music can have unexpected and significant influence on society.”
The program also will include Austrian composer Franz Schubert’s Symphony No.4, Tragic.
“Schubert completed (this composition) when he was just 19 years old, but sadly never had the chance to hear it performed,” Miropolsky noted. “This symphony premiered a full two decades after the composer’s premature death at the age of 31. In his short but intense life, Schubert composed over 1,000 works, making him one of the fastest composers of all-time.”
Concert ticket prices are $30 for adults; $26 for seniors (60-plus); and $10 for youth (12 and younger).
Tickets can be purchased online through the Edmonds Center for Arts (ECA) website and by telephone (425-275-9595). The ECA Box Office may be reached by email at boxoffice@ec4arts.org. The ECA Box Office is currently open noon-5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and extended hours during performances.

You read that correctly sauerkraut ice cream is a favorite briny, salty, creamy treat people flock to central Pennsylvania to eat at the start of every New Year.
Pork and sauerkraut are New Year's staples for prosperity and good fortune for Pennsylvanian's of German ancestry. Urban Churn is known for taking this tradition to a new level by churning up sauerkraut ice cream.
The owner Adam Brackbill said he uses all-natural ingredients and traditional ice cream production techniques to make simply delicious flavor combinations, so this festive twist was a natural fit for the company.
Brackbill says its surprisingly good as the acid from the sauerkraut creates a tangy buttermilk flavor. This oddly tasty treat draws in customers from across the state and nearby states like Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, and New Jersey.
Since 2016, Urban Churn has been mixing and selling 50 gallons of sauerkraut ice cream for a limited time.
You can stop into to any of the three locations to give it a try while supplies last:
- 258 Westminster Drive, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17109.
- 6391 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17050.

With the city still recovering from the effects of COVID-19, local businesses suffering in the CBD and a months-long national debate over the contentious Voice to Parliament had everyone's tongue wagging.
It seems like every week there was another major news event to cover.
I have been in a very privileged position to cover the triumphs and low moments of the city and its residents.
These are the stories that have left their mark on me.
Bendigo legal expert pushes back against Voice 'No' arguments
The Voice to Parliament was a proposal which would have seen an Aboriginal body formed to sit adjacent to the Federal Government and advise on topics that would affect Indigenous Australians through a national referendum.
To say that this was a fiercely debated topic would be an understatement with what felt like every community in the country divided on its stance to the proposal.
One of the legal experts working here at Bendigo's La Trobe University campus deconstructed some of the prominent 'No' arguments.
Epsom Milkbar worried that KFC, Carl's Jr will take business
Local business owners David Dei and his wife Ya Ling Cai have owned the Epsom Milk Bar for seven years.
But with of all the developments in the area, including the building of fast food outlets Carl's Jr, Dominos and KFC, both were concerned it would impact their business.
Since the Carl's Jr burger outlet has opened, there has been a significant drop in business at the Epsom Milk Bar.
Bendigo CBD future plans should include more apartments: agents
Bendigo has grown massively in the last decade and expanded far beyond its initial boundaries.
With that expansion there has been a issues around available housing stock and affordability of existing housing.
Real estate experts say that for Bendigo CBD and inner suburbs to thrive there needs to be a look upwards, literally.
These agents say that apartments and high-rise living would greatly benefit the city.
Kyneton junior football girls show support for Matilda's Carpenter
Australia hosted its biggest sporting event ever this year with the FIFA Women's World Cup taking the nation by storm.
However, shortly following the Matilda's meteoric rise in popularity, one of its marquee players, Ellie Carpenter, received a torrent of online abuse for a perceived mistake during one of the matches.
To show their support for their new sporting hero, the Kyneton Districts Soccer Club Under-8s girl's team fitted themselves with Carpenter's iconic blue headband for their math the following week.
Protestors blockade Bendigo Thales factory in bid to stop export of arms
In response to the ongoing Israel-Gaza war which has claimed the lives of tens-of-thousands of Palestinian civilians, protests have broken out across the country.
One of those protests took place at the Bendigo Thales facility which the protestors said was supplying military hardware to both Israel and the Indonesian governments.
The protestors alleged that both governments were committing war crimes in Gaza and West Papua, respectively. | https://www.bendigoadvertiser.com.au/story/8470796/looking-back-at-ben-loughrans-favourite-stories-of-2023/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:26Z |
Cardinals shock Eagles on the road to drastically alter NFC playoff picture
The three-win Arizona Cardinals absolutely stunned the Philadelphia Eagles on the road, as James Conner scored the game-winning touchdown with just seconds left in the fourth quarter on Sunday afternoon.
The Cardinals, coached by former Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, are not in the NFC playoff picture. But the 35-31 win had a huge effect on seeding, as the San Francisco 49ers now have the No. 1 seed locked up because of the Eagles’ loss and their own win over the Washington Commanders.
The Eagles are still in the running for the No. 2 seed, but the Dallas Cowboys, who defeated the Detroit Lions on Saturday night, have a chance to win the NFC East to claim that seed next week.

Arizona was down 21-6 when the second half began, but Kyler Murray got the drive he needed from his offense right away.
They went 10 plays and 75 yards downfield, where running back Michael Carter caught a pass and barreled his way into the end zone to cut into the Philly lead.
Then, after getting a quick three-and-out from Jalen Hurts & Co., Murray led yet another touchdown drive. This time it was Conner catching a short pass from Murray for a five-yard score and there was a successful two-point conversion to tie the game at 21 apiece.

Hurts, knowing he needed to get something going, orchestrated a touchdown drive of his own. On the 13th play of it, he scrambled right and found his tight end, Dallas Goedert, to take the lead once again.
But the Cardinals weren’t going to let that slide. Murray, on fourth-and-4, found Michael Wilson on a slant route for a five-yard touchdown to keep Arizona in the game.
A Philadelphia field goal would come on the ensuing drive, and the Cardinals had the opportunity to take the lead with a touchdown. It took eight plays and 77 yards for that Conner touchdown to break the goal line.
Hurts would throw an interception on a final Hail Mary play, and everyone at Lincoln Financial Field couldn’t believe what they just witnessed.
Murray finished the game with three touchdowns passes and one interception with 232 yards on 25-of-31 through the air, while also rushing for 24 yards. Conner had 128 yards on the ground with one rushing touchdown and one receiving.
For the Eagles, Hurts was just 18-of-23 for 167 yards, but had three touchdowns, two of which went to Julio Jones, which came on his only two catches of the game.
The Eagles will now head to East Rutherford in the final week of the regular season next Sunday, hoping they can defeat the New York Giants and the Cowboys lose to the Commanders to retain that No. 2 seed. | https://www.wgmd.com/cardinals-shock-eagles-on-the-road-to-drastically-alter-nfc-playoff-picture/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:25Z |

When the 56-19 loss settled, the Miami Dolphins needed more than one glance into their proverbial mirrors.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wished he had shifted his glance a little more quickly to see the defender in his receiver’s path on his first interception, and he wished he hadn’t tried to force a ball to Tyreek Hill over the linebacker who snatched the second.
Hill wished he hadn’t bobbled and then dropped a wide-open touchdown pass from Tagovailoa, one of six targets on which the duo failed to connect in the blowout loss.
Dolphins defenders wish they had tackled better in space, limiting or at least complicating the Baltimore Ravens’ display of run-in touchdowns.
And head coach Mike McDaniel wished he had pulled edge rusher Bradley Chubb earlier from an out-of-reach contest. Instead, with the Dolphins trailing by 30 points and less than 4 minutes to play in regulation, Chubb suffered a non-contact knee injury that required carting off.
“I would like a time machine, for sure, in that situation,” McDaniel said. “In hindsight, I would absolutely not have wanted him out there if I would have known he was going to get hurt.
“There’s times in football games where it’s not about winning or losing or ‘Can we come back?’ It's about finishing the football game and having a taste of what our expectations were going into it.”
The Dolphins’ expectations entering their visit to Baltimore and their reality traveling home at 11-5 veered far apart. Their playoff expectations now risk the same trajectory.
“Situations like this where you go into a game with full belief in each other and the eventual outcome … ends up monumentally in another direction, it’s a gut check for a football team,” McDaniel said. “We need to recalibrate, get back together and press forward together.
“Run from nothing. Own it.”
How the Dolphins unraveled vs. stifling Ravens
The Dolphins started off the game strong.
Tagovailoa connected with Hill, running back De’Von Achane and fullback Alec Ingold each for double-digit gains on the first drive alone. Facing third-and-goal from Baltimore’s 8, Tagovailoa pump-faked his first throw before nailing receiver Cedrick Wilson on a high-low concept that forced the Ravens’ defense to wonder whether Hill or Wilson was its intended receiver.
The Dolphins had found the end zone first. But Baltimore answered.
Despite Rashod Bateman failing to survive the ground on a 42-yard pass that was reversed and offensive pass interference nullifying a 26-yard completion to Justice Hill, Jackson distributed the ball a la Tagovailoa with chunk plays to three different targets on the way to the red zone. With 6:39 to play in the first, Jackson dropped back and let a ball rip amid pressure, finding Hill between two defenders on the right sideline for a 20-yard touchdown.
The Dolphins stayed alive with a Tyreek Hill 25-yard catch on fourth-and-5 their next drive but ultimately settled for a field goal.
Against the fourth-ranked scoring offense in the league, that’s not a winning formula.
Nor is turning the ball over.
Miami stayed competitive early, forcing a punt and scoring a pair of field goals. But after a seeming busted coverage allowed a 75-yard touchdown – cornerback Xavien Howard, injured on the first Ravens snap of the day, was missed – the game began veering off course for Miami.
Tagovailoa hurried to fit a play in before halftime and instead threw the first interception.
Miami’s special teams allowed a 78-yard punt return to start the second half, one of several factors in McDaniel’s postgame remark: “I’m confident saying before watching the film: We’re not going to be happy with the way we tackled in open space.”
And even when the Dolphins defense punched a ball loose from Ravens RB Gus Edwards, the optimism was short-lived.
Tagovailoa’s second interception was the next play.
The Dolphins could expect nothing different from the NFL's most takeaway-happy group.
“With circumstances within the game, there was a play or two where maybe we were forcing something,” McDaniel said. “Defensively, they’ve been very opportunistic. We knew that, and ultimately, we played right into their hands.”
A day Tyreek Hill described as “one of the worst games of my career” became the Dolphins’ worst loss of the season, and a day on which Miami was shorthanded due to injuries merited less sympathy when considering the Ravens’ bill of health.
Baltimore was missing its starting right guard, star tight end, two running backs and a cornerback.
Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith, who intercepted and returned a pass 30 yards in addition to seven tackles and another deflection, said Baltimore couldn’t dwell on that or their short week after a Monday night game across the country.
“It’s just adversity,” Smith said. “Look adversity in the face, and like I always tell the guys – chin up, chest out. We don't bow down for anything. Do all you can do. People make excuses with adversity and we just produce.
“Life is not about excuses. It's about what you do and play the cards that you’re dealt.”
The Dolphins best heed that advice.
After Ravens crush Miami, are Dolphins’ playoff hopes at stake?
Tagovailoa, despite taking a hit to his throwing shoulder on a fourth-quarter scramble, was healthy enough to address reporters after the game and seems on schedule to complete his fully available season.
Based on the cart, non-contact nature of injury and shellshock in Dolphins players’ voices, Chubb seems unlikely to play next week or in the postseason.
So sure, in a regular-season finale with the AFC East title on the line, Miami won’t be at full saddle. Neither will Buffalo nor any team the Dolphins face in the postseason.
What the franchise needs to do is better adjust to its personnel shifts and better scheme for its available players. Miami did that well in the run game Sunday, when Achane took the lead role in place of the injured Raheem Mostert, Achane contributing a game-high 137 yards and one touchdown.
But Miami’s passing attack was far too inconsistent, as Tagovailoa completed 57.9% of his passes compared to his league-leading 70.5% mark across the season. (For context, 51 quarterbacks who have attempted at least 50 passes have attempted more than 57.9%.)
Baltimore gashed the Dolphins defense for 491 total yards, a season-worst allowance along with the 56-point output.
Sure, as fairly said after the Ravens dismantled the 49ers, most teams cannot attack and maintain pressure at the rate which Baltimore can.
But the Dolphins have dabbled in Super Bowl-contender conversations, and it’s unlikely they’ll be able to reach that goal without besting Baltimore. It’s unlikely they’ll be able to win any remaining regular or postseason game with the suppressed performance all three phases produced Sunday.
“Everything’s still in front of us,” Tagovailoa said, but achieving it will require much more than Miami showed with the chance to clinch the division on the line.
Tagovailoa preached the importance of consistency after the Dolphins played well enough through one quarter to win but not through four.
Then, he tapped into the glass-half-full perspective as he moved forward.
“If you have the perspective of things could be worse – we could not have clinched the playoff berth, we could not have been playing in a game like this that mattered for positioning with the seeding,” Tagovailoa said. “So if you think of it like that, we’re right where we need to be as a team, regardless of the outcome today.
“We’ll be better for it and hopefully get to see these guys again.” | https://www.hot105fm.com/news/national/whats-next-dolphins/XC7WHVG4HWAGZHXQNLPWQ3ULU4/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:27Z |
U.S. envoy en route to Vietnam ahead of N. Korea summit
Special Representative Stephen Biegun is en route to the Vietnamese capital, the host of the second meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un planned for Feb. 27 and 28, the department's deputy spokesperson, Robert Palladino, said.
"He'll be continuing the United States' preparations for the second summit that will take place next week," Palladino said at a press briefing. "A lot of things are being discussed and we are very much looking forward to next week."
Biegun's counterpart, Kim Hyok-chol, was seen in Beijing earlier Tuesday apparently en route to Hanoi.
The two men are tasked with coordinating the agenda for the high-stakes summit, which is expected to focus on fleshing out North Korea's denuclearization and corresponding U.S. measures.
The first Trump-Kim summit in Singapore in June led to North Korea's commitment to "work toward" complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in exchange for security guarantees from the U.S.
Biegun and Kim Hyok-chol held three days of talks in Pyongyang earlier this month. But those meetings were characterized by the U.S. envoy as an opportunity to lay out each other's positions, not negotiations, according to a South Korean parliamentary delegation who met with him in Washington last week.
Biegun also lamented the lack of time ahead of the summit, the delegation members said.
"The summit's going to take place next week," Palladino said when asked if everything is on schedule. "Steve Biegun is on his way back right now to tie up the remainder, and we're optimistic and looking forward to next week."
The spokesperson also credited a new approach to negotiations with North Korea.

PAIA, Hawaii (KHNL/Gray News) - A 39-year-old surfer died Saturday after suffering a shark bite at Maui’s Paia Bay, the Department of Land and Natural Resources confirmed.
Details on the injuries of Jason Carter oh Haiku were not released.
Maui Fire Department officials say the incident happened about 11 a.m.
A Department of Land and Natural Resources spokesman confirmed about 5:30 p.m. that Carter had died.
Officials said water conditions at the time were “mixed” because of high surf conditions.
The County of Maui posted on its official Instagram that Baldwin Beach Park and Lower Paia Park were closed due to the shark incident.
First responders were patrolling the area on shore and on jet skis, according to Maui Fire Department. Department of Land and Natural Resources officials said shark warning signs are up one mile on either side of the incident site.
The incident is seventh shark encounter in Hawaii waters this year and the first resulting in fatal injuries, according to the agency’s shark incident database.

The 83-year-old queen, who ascended the throne in 1972, made the surprise announcement on live TV during her traditional New Year's Eve speech, which is viewed by many in the country of 5.9 million people.
Referring to a successful back operation she underwent in February, she said, "The surgery naturally gave rise to thinking about the future - whether the time had come to leave the responsibility to the next generation".
"I have decided that now is the right time. On 14 January 2024 - 52 years after I succeeded my beloved father - I will step down as queen of Denmark," she said.
"I leave the throne to my son, Crown Prince Frederik," she said.
The queen became the longest-serving monarch in Europe following the death of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. In July, she became the longest-sitting monarch in Denmark's history.
In Denmark, formal power resides with the elected parliament and its government. The monarch is expected to stay above partisan politics, representing the nation with traditional duties ranging from state visits to national day celebrations.
Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen thanked the queen for her life-long dedication to duty.
"It is still difficult to understand that the time has now come for a change of throne," Frederiksen said in a statement, adding that many Danes had never known another monarch.
"Queen Margrethe is the epitome of Denmark and throughout the years has put words and feelings into who we are as a people and as a nation," she said.
Born in 1940 to Denmark's former monarch King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid, Margrethe has throughout her life enjoyed broad support from Danes, who are fond of her tactful and yet creative personality.
She is also known for her love of archaeology and has taken part in several excavations.
She became heir to her father in 1953 at the age of 31, after a constitutional amendment allowed women to inherit the throne.
In 1967, she married French diplomat Henri de Laborde de Monpezat, who served as her royal consort until his death in 2018.
The couple's two sons are Crown Prince Frederik, who will become King Frederik X, and Prince Joachim. Frederik married Mary Elizabeth Donaldson, an Australian, in 2004.

Sticking to your New Year’s resolution can be challenging, but achievable with the right solution
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) - As we’re entering the New Year, it’s the season for setting resolutions. Some we’ll keep, others, well, let’s call them ‘aspirations’.
According to the Washington Post, New Year’s resolutions often have a bad reputation because they are viewed as either a success or failure. This can happen when people set overly ambitious goals, don’t fully understand why they’re making these resolutions, or simply aren’t ready for change. So, what are people saying about their 2024 resolutions?
“To have a better outlook on things, just to continue doing good and staying good, and just doing nothing but good,” said Ethan Grace.
One reason some individuals succeed with New Year’s resolutions is due to a psychological phenomenon known as the ‘fresh start effect.’ This refers to a specific date on the calendar, like the start of a new year, that gives people a sense of a fresh beginning and motivates them to make positive changes.
“I’m going to try and start eating healthier because right now I’m eating a really bad diet, and I think it’s affecting my health. So, I want to start getting educated on what the proper foods are and trying to benefit myself so I can feel better,” said William Tracy.
To stick to your New Year’s resolution, share it with someone supportive and find a mentor or workout buddy for specific goals.

Frederic gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead at 19:08 of the first, shooting a backhand over the shoulder of Lyon on a breakaway. Lyon was shaken up after a collision with Frederic but remained in the game after getting attention from the training staff.
“[Pastrnak] hit a pretty good 60-degree wedge to me,” Frederic said. “I was a little slow getting after it, so all I had was the backhand. I was lucky to get it up and over his shoulder.”
Frederic made it 2-0 at 4:25 of the second period with a wrist shot from the right wing after skating past Dylan Larkin.
“I think he’s playing faster, and he’s underrated as a great skater,” Montgomery said. “He’s driving pucks consistently instead of delaying, which he did a lot, and he’s opening up space for himself.”
Walman made it 2-1 at 13:01 with his third goal in two games.
Chiarot tied the game 2-2 with a shot from the slot at 16:42.
Charlie Coyle gave Boston a 3-2 lead at 3:52 of the third period, shooting a one-timer past Lyon from the slot off a pass by McAvoy.
“That was disappointing,” Lalonde said. “They had one chance in the third period on a missed face-off assignment, and it ended up in the back of our net.” | https://www.nhl.com/bruins/news/boston-bruins-detroit-red-wings-game-recap-december-31-x3770 | 2024-01-01T04:26:32Z |

WYOMING, Mich. — Two people were injured after an argument at a Walmart store in Michigan escalated into gunfire on Sunday, authorities said.
The man and woman who were shot suffered injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, WXMI-TV reported.
The shooting took place at about 6 p.m. in the city of Wyoming, police spokesperson Lt. Andrew Koeller said.

Police said there was an altercation between the two suspects and the male victim, according to WZZM-TV. The shooting took place in the front of the store near the checkout lanes. The male victim was shot; the woman was not a target, the television station reported.
The suspects fled the scene, police said. Both men were wearing masks, WOOD-TV reported.
“This is a brazen public attack. This is not something that we would tolerate, this is not something that should occur,” Koeller told reporters. “And we encourage the public to give any information in help solving this brazen crime and like I mentioned, unfortunately, an innocent bystander was struck. Two people were struck and that’s completely unfortunate.”
It is unclear what led to the altercation between the suspects and the man, WOOD-TV reported. It was also unclear whether the suspects and the male victim knew one another, according to the television station. | https://www.hot105fm.com/news/trending/2-injured-shooting-walmart-michigan/2APDDUBCZ5DPXFFTF2PICOVLRU/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:34Z |

During her New Year’s Eve speech, Margrethe II, 86, said that she plans to step down on Jan. 14. The date marks the anniversary of her own ascension to the throne in 1972, following the death of her father, King Frederik IX.
“I have decided that now is the right time,” she said in her speech, explaining that back surgery she had earlier this year led to “thoughts about the future.”
Her son, Frederik André Henrik Christian, will ascend the throne after her abdication.

The octogenarian is Europe’s longest-reigning living monarch. She is one of the most popular figures in Denmark, often seen chain-smoking or roaming around the country unescorted.
At the age of 70, she traveled to Afghanistan to visit Danish troops and wore a military jumpsuit during the meeting.

As I write this, I've just realised it has been exactly one year to the day that I joined Gamereactor. It has been a long road to get here, but 2023 has been an incredible year. Gamescom, BlizzCon, getting to know all the great writers here, it has been an amazing start. But, if I have one regret, just one regret from my first year at Gamereactor, it's turning down the opportunity to review Baldur's Gate III.
The timing didn't quite line up, and to be honest, I underestimated what this game could be. "I don't really like top-down, turn-based RPGs," I told myself. "I've played D&D before, but I doubt it'll be all that. Probably just going to be a niche RPG that pleases its audience, but doesn't last more than a couple of weeks." Here I am, four months later, deciding what character I want to play next while in the middle of a campaign.
Yep, it hooked me. Baldur's Gate III hooked me like no other title in 2023, and that's a real achievement. If you're looking for a little top 5 of the things I played this year, I'd put Mortal Kombat 1, Pikmin 4, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Baldur's Gate III in that list, in that order, with a pretty big jump between #2 and #1.
Do I even need to explain why I loved this game so much? By now, you've already seen The Game Awards, you've already decided whether it's your cup of tea or not. Nevertheless, because there are man children who refuse to accept that it's even good, I suppose I'll do some explaining on why I think Baldur's Gate III is deserving of the hype around it and how it even exceeds that hype.
Every now and then a game comes along with such passion, such depth, that you can't help but be in awe of it. Alan Wake 2 holds a similar amount of passion from Remedy, but I think where Baldur's Gate III stands out is just in how much thought went into creating this game so that it can be experienced in as many ways as possible. It's all down to you. From the story decisions you make to who you want to take to your bed, it's like if Mass Effect took enough steroids to let it win Mr. Olympia with how much stuff there is to explore, do, and not in the sandbox-type way where you get bored within 15 minutes of looking at pretty surroundings and questions marks on a map. Every nook and cranny has its own story to find out, so each moment you spend eroding the fog of war feels worth it.
Largely - even with Baldur's Gate III's solid combat and visuals - a lot of what keeps you coming back is the characters and stories that anchor it all. Excellent performances from every actor involved, combined with writing that has you hooked on every word as well as plenty of ways to explore who you want to be as a character make it nearly impossible not to go in for a second playthrough once you see the credits roll for the first time.
As someone that loves getting lost in the story of a game, Baldur's Gate III left little to be desired. I'd even argue that the main quest of the game doesn't do much in terms of making you want to carry on with it, but the characters and their intertwining tales make you push forward, wanting to see where they end up more than caring whether the final battle will end in glorious victory or defeat.
There's also the wider factors at play that to me make Baldur's Gate III the most deserving Game of the Year in 2023. Call it a hot take if you will, but I think popularity and industry impact should factor into what we call *the* game of the year. Baldur's Gate III had an unpredictable appeal from the moment it launched (largely in part to one super-hot vampire), drawing in hundreds of thousands of players like me who wouldn't have given this game the time of day if it hadn't been as good as it is. The fact that we also saw other studios immediately claiming that Baldur's Gate III shouldn't be expected as the norm shows just how impressive this RPG is.
Recency bias be damned, Baldur's Gate III is up there with some of my favourite games of all-time. Even after hundreds of hours spent in single-player, I'm still left with the feeling I'm nowhere near done with this game, and I long for the day we see the effects of Baldur's Gate III on the industry. Some of those effects will be bad, some will be great, but this game has put Larian on the map in the same way The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt did for CD Projekt Red. Good luck with whatever you make next, guys. You've got mainstream eyes on you now. | https://www.gamereactor.eu/alexs-2023-game-of-the-year-baldurs-gate-iii-1339403/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:35Z |
U.S. progressive senator Bernie Sanders runs for presidency again
"Together, you and I and our 2016 campaign began the political revolution. Now, it is time to complete that revolution and implement the vision that we fought for," Sanders said in an early-morning email to supporters.
Sander's progressive agenda, which has kept pushing the Democratic Party to the left especially since 2016 U.S. elections, currently includes Medicare for All, 15-U.S.-dollar per hour minimum wage, free college tuition, combating climate change and raising taxes on rich Americans.
"Three years ago, during our 2016 campaign, when we brought forth our progressive agenda we were told that our ideas were 'radical' and 'extreme,'" Sanders said in the email.
"Well, three years have come and gone. And, as result of millions of Americans standing up and fighting back, all of these policies and more are now supported by a majority of Americans," he claimed.
As one of the most well-known progressive politicians in the United States, the 77-year-old independent senator caucuses with Democrats in Congress. He is also one of the most outspoken U.S. politicians against President Donald Trump, whom he has repeatedly slammed as a "liar" and a "racist."
Sanders was first elected to the House of Representative in 1990 and to the Senate in 2006.
During the 2018 midterm elections, Sanders again ran a strong grassroots campaign throughout Vermont and was elected the northeastern state's federal senator for the third time.
His second presidential bid will test whether he can retain the anti-establishment progressive appeal to tens of thousands of U.S. millennials as three years ago, local analysts say. | https://en.inform.kz/news/u-s-progressive-senator-bernie-sanders-runs-for-presidency-again_a3499978/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:35Z |
