4 weirdest sex fetishes found on campus in 2023
Topics included pornography, abortion, non-monogamous relationships, sex toys, and Shibari rope binding.
Many universities hold what is called ‘sex week’ on their campuses, that cover topics from pornography to polyamory. Other events occur outside of ‘sex week,’ sometimes catering to odd fetishes or encouraging sexual deviance.
Campus Reform has compiled a list of 4 of the weirdest sex fetishes found on campus in 2023.
1. UOregon advertises sex toy shop as a ‘gender support service’
Listed on the University of Oregon’s (UO) Dean of Students student resource webpage is an “eco-conscious, green, gender-inclusive sex toy shop” named “As You Like It.”
The store is among the numerous options featured by the university’s LGBT Education and Support Services and its “Gender-Affirming Support” efforts.
2. Ohio State wants to teach you about ‘ethical pornography,’ bondage
Ohio State University hosted their fourth annual Sex Week from February 12-18. Topics included pornography, abortion, non-monogamous relationships, sex toys, and Shibari rope binding.
Ohio State’s Sex Week is hosted by Student Advocates for Sexual Health Awareness (SASHA). According to the club’s constitution, SASHA’s mission is to “educate the student body about sexual health in all its forms.”
3. Public university’s ‘Sex Week’ features ‘Chicanx sexuality,’ BDSM gear maintenance
Portland State University (PSU) began its annual “Sex Week” on Feb. 28, featuring topics ranging from BDSM gear maintenance, to “Chicanx sexuality,” to a community panel about polyamory.
To kick off the week, students were invited to a “leather workshop” to learn “how to care for your BDSM leather so it can look great and last a long time!”
Two academics in the United Kingdom have concluded that an organized group sex event in San Francisco provides “a protected space” for gay men, in a world where “queer culture” is being “commercialized” by heterosexuals. | https://www.campusreform.org/article/4-weirdest-sex-fetishes-found-on-campus-in-2023/24545 | 2024-01-01T04:26:35Z |
Can the carbon-offset market be saved?
Summary
- Market prices have crashed
“As soon as a coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs," ran an early advertising jingle attributed to Johann Tetzel, a 16th-century indulgence salesman. Funding the church offered believers an alternative to paying for sins in the afterlife. The carbon-credit market promises something similar. Instead of reducing your carbon footprint, why not simply pay someone else to do it for you?
It is a nice idea. Yet the voluntary carbon market—as opposed to compliance markets, such as the EU’s emissions-trading scheme—is in turmoil. Latter-day Martin Luthers, whose objections to Tetzel led to the Reformation, have pointed out that offsets struggle to prove they make a difference to emissions: renewable projects are often viable on their own, thus providing funding does not lower emissions.
Scandals have also sapped investor appetite. A report by the Guardian, a British newspaper, alleged that many leading “nature-based" offsets, which usually attempt to restore forests, are junk. Activists argue that middle men hog the proceeds and indigenous people fail to benefit. Prices for nature-based offsets plunged from $15 a tonne after the COP climate summit in Glasgow two years ago to a disastrous $0.10 a tonne after the recent meeting in Dubai, according to Xpansiv, an exchange.
Reformers were at the summit in force, with proposals for how to fix the market. These include plans to verify, tally and register offsets. Six outfits, including the Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative, which provides advice on how to use credits, and the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market, which aims to set offset rules, launched what they called an “end-to-end integrity framework".
The hope is that such reassurance might tempt back corporate buyers. McKinsey, a consultancy, has estimated that the market value of voluntary offsets could reach $50bn by 2030, up from $2bn or so today, given the number of firms that have vowed to decarbonise supply chains. Banks have begun to open trading desks to buy and sell offsets. On December 4th the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, an American regulator, published guidance on how it will regulate markets.
Vast flows of private finance could provide money for poor countries to fight global warming. America’s state department therefore outlined plans for its own carbon-offset scheme at COP, through which firms could pay countries to clean up electricity production. The Dominican Republic and Nigeria have signed up. So have McDonald’s, a fast-food chain, PepsiCo, a consumer-goods firm, and Bank of America.
The Rockefeller Foundation, which is working with the state department, also supports a similar scheme. The idea is to mix private investment, loans and carbon credits to reduce the cost of replacing coal with renewables. The first deal has been agreed between ACEN, a Filipino energy firm, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the island-state’s central bank. Companies will be able to use credits to pay the territory’s carbon tax from 2024.
Countries also inked deals under a provision of the Paris agreement on climate change that allows them to co-operate in meeting emissions promises. Switzerland came to an agreement with Ghana under which it will fund four waste facilities. Singapore signed a deal with Papua New Guinea that will allow it to count some of the latter’s emissions cuts as its own.
Yet negotiations over a final rule book for bilateral deals, as well as a carbon-credit market with the imprimatur of the UN, went nowhere. Negotiators clashed over how much transparency to require. Without nationally accredited schemes, firms will have to turn to the “Wild West" of the voluntary market, says Mandy Rambharos of the Environmental Defence Fund, a charity. The danger is that bad press provides an excuse for firms to withdraw from the market altogether. After cop, the price of nature-based offsets fell even further; the hope is that they will rise once the reforms are actually implemented. For carbon sinners, heaven can wait. | https://www.livemint.com/market/can-the-carbon-offset-market-be-saved-11704082028696.html | 2024-01-01T04:26:37Z |
Sidhi: Police have launched an investigation after the principal of a government college claimed he was attacked by four persons on a false accusation of his involvement in witchcraft in Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district, an official said.
A case was registered under the Indian Penal Code and the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in connection with the incident which occurred on December 29, a police officer said on Sunday.
"Based on a complaint lodged by Lalbahadur Singh, the principal of the government college in Sinhawal town, a case has been registered against four persons and further investigation is underway," Sidhi Superintendent of Police Ravindra Verma said.
He acknowledged that a video of the incident has surfaced on social media.
The trigger behind the incident is under investigation, the official said when asked about Singh's claim.
The principal told reporters he came to know from the college employees that the attackers claimed he was involved in witchcraft, which is not true. | https://www.deccanherald.com/india/madhya-pradesh/mp-principal-attack-2-2831035 | 2024-01-01T04:26:37Z |
Topeka rides in the New Year on award-winning bulls
TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - People from all over the country gathered at the Stormont Vail Event Center for “Xtreme” Bulls on Sunday, Dec. 31 to ride into the New Year on the backs of raging bulls.
Chad Berger provided the bulls for the event. His livestock has won awards 12 different years. Berger has raised the event much like he raises his bulls.
“It’s a long drawn out affair to get these bulls where they’re at we raise them and we buy them,” said Berger. “It means a lot to me to watch something grow and become something great.”
The bull riders have come from across the country. Brady Poreeiner reigns from Idaho and came to the capital city to make his mark. He says bull riding is an important part of his life.
“It means the world to me,” said Poreeiner. “I grew up around it, it’s how I make my living, I hope to raise my kids around it and just continue to be in the rodeo family.”
Participants of the event have a few resolutions of their own. Poreeiner says he wants to be more consistent in his bull riding. According to Berger he like to set goals for himself.
“I want to get bigger and better and hopefully we can,” said Berger.
The schedule for 2024 and when Xtreme Bulls will be returning to Topeka has not been released.

ECHUCA has always held fond memories for Longlea trainer Bec Morrissey since Barneys Invasion's win in the JA Connelly Crystal Bucket in 2011.

On New Year's Day night, she hopes to add another moment to savour in the $20,000 Echuca Trotters Cup (2530m).
Morrissey will target the feature race with her dependable mare Wish Upona Dream, who, despite stepping up in class, brings plenty of form to the race, with a win at Maryborough last month and a second at Bendigo and third at Maryborough in her two of her last three runs.
In between, she finished fourth in the $12,000 Gunbower Trotters Cup, won by the Mick Blackmore-trained Bitta Irish Luck, who will again be one of her 10 rivals on Monday night.
While this is another jump in grade, Morrissey is daring to dream that her cup wish can come true.
"She was put out of the draw, but she's back in it now, so, hopefully from barrier two, she will get a bit of luck," she said.
"She actually broke the track record when she won at Echuca earlier this year, but this is a step up for her.
"Hopefully being Echuca again, she will be up there. She generally trots around that track fairly good.
"Hopefully she can be there at the finish."
While things might not have gone to plan in the Gunbower Trotters Cup two starts ago, Morrissey can find no fault with her mare's form.
The daughter of Wishing Stone finished outside the top five only twice in 20 starts during the 2023 season, for three wins, five seconds and six thirds.
She only missed a top three placing once in her last eight runs.
"She's only missed a cheque twice all year and one of those was the Sires (Vicbred) final and she was always going to struggle in that," she said.
"In another, I took her to Cranbourne and she didn't handle the track down there at all, so she's really been ultra consistent.
"I guess while it's a step up, she's earned her way into that class, so I'll try and focus on the cups worth about $12,000, that aren't that next step up.
"But I thought being Echuca and having gone so well around there the last time, if she could step really well and be up there, she's a chance to finish in the top four or five.
"Fingers crossed she does, it would be nice to win a cup.
"Regardless, she's come a long way from when she was a young horse at two and three.
"She used to do a lot wrong and used to make a lot of mistakes around the 400m mark.
"She won a Group 2 as a three-year-old, but galloped on the turn and luckily still got up and won.
"She went out after that, but this time she has come back in leaps and bounds."
Morrissey praised Bendigo gallops trainer Matthew Enright, who owns the Bendigo Water Walker, for his time and efforts with not only Wish Upona Dream, but her emerging trotting filly Centurion Dream, who was an exceptional third in the Breeders Crown final for two-year-old fillies in November.
"Matt has done a fair bit of work on her muscle-wise and a fair bit of chiropractor work, building her up from the bottom," she said.
"I've changed all her feed too and she really seems to have come to the fore.
"She's probably due for a spell, but she just keeps running well."
Morrissey nominated the Laura Crossland-trained Hadtobeharry, who has drawn gate one, and Bitta Irish Luck, to again be driven by Ellen Tormey, among the main cup dangers, alongside the Andy Gath-trained Chinese Whispers, who was also among the acceptances at Melton on New Year's Eve.
The 49-year-old trainer admits to still being on a high following Centurion Dream's massive effort behind Nordic Reign in the Breeders Crown final.
The daughter of Centurion ATM is continuing a well-deserved spell and is expected to be back in work by mid-January, with the New South Wales Oaks her long-range target.
Meanwhile, fresh from finishing second in the Victorian trainer's premiership for the third consecutive year, Strathfieldsaye trainer Julie Douglas will launch a three-pronged attack on the $30,000 Echuca Pacing Cup (2560m).
A strong hand in the race will be spearheaded by Our Vincent Can Gogh, who boasts a trio of Melton victories and a pair of city placings, among his last six starts.
He will be driven by Jack Laugher.
The stable's hopes will be boosted by the appearance of John Mclean (Josh Duggan) and Jaccka Connor (Ellen Tormey), a winner at Shepparton last Wednesday night.
Toolleen's Alex Ashwood will again team up with Red Cliffs trainer Andrew German to drive one of the main chances in the race, All Da Rage.
The gelded son of Betterthancheddar has been racing in brilliant form, with wins in two of his last three starts, including on his home track at Mildura just before Christmas.
All Da Rage will be chasing his second country cup in less than a month after winning at Gunbower on December 10. | https://www.bendigoadvertiser.com.au/story/8472422/wish-upona-dream-eyes-echuca-trotters-cup-victory/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:39Z |
Cole Caufield notched his second tally in as many games, bringing his total to 10 goals and 26 points so far this season.
Johnathan Kovacevic also found the back of the net on a bizarre play that ultimately resulted in a Habs goal.
The Lightning thought the referees had blown the whistle when Samuel Montembeault briefly isolated the puck under his glove, but the play was still alive. So, the netminder passed the biscuit to Kovacevic who shot it into a vacant net from his own end.
The blue-liner, who had been a healthy scratch since Dec. 22, returned to the lineup after the Club announced that forward Christian Dvorak is out with an upper-body injury. He will undergo further tests.

Janelle Brown revealed one of her sons is “somewhat” speaking with father Kody Brown, one year after their family feud aired on Sister Wives.
“The conversation still hasn’t happened,” Janelle, 54, said on the Sunday, December 31, episode of Sister Wives Look Back: How It’s Going special, referring to her sons Garrison and Gabriel’s reconnecting with Kody, 54. “There’s still nothing.”
She clarified that Kody “does have somewhat of a relationship with Garrison right now.” She explained: “A little bit. But there’s no reconciliation, really.” Janelle and Kody share Garrison, 25, and Gabriel, 21, as well as Logan, 29, Maddie, 27, Hunter, 26, and Savanah, 18.
Janelle’s remarks were in response to rewatching her season 18 fight with Kody, in which the former couple accused each other of “gaslighting.” During the argument, which took place ahead of their December 2022 split, Janelle revealed that she wasn’t going to do Christmas with Kody because of his issues with their boys.
Viewers first learned about Kody’s tension with Garrison and Gabriel during season 17 of the TLC series. The rift started after Kody claimed his sons didn’t respect him or his COVID-19 rules. Kody then insisted that the boys give him an apology before they could come to family events, which he later walked back.
During season 18, which aired this past fall, the tension between Kody and Garrison and Gabriel led to a blowout with Janelle and they split soon after.
“I don’t want to talk about my breakup with Janelle anymore. It’s very painful,” Kody told the cameras on Sunday’s episode, when prompted to rewatch the 2022 scene. “Janelle and I are not good together. She’s not a loyal wife. I’m probably a s–ty husband. I don’t care. We’re not working anymore.”
When Janelle watched it back, she called her former spouse “an ass.” Janelle explained on the TV special that in Kody’s “perfect world” she would have “stood with him against my kids.”
Janelle noted that when she didn’t do that, Kody lost “his crap” and made it seem like “it’s all my fault.” Now, Janelle said she’s done trying to fix things with her ex-husband. “I don’t care if I ever interact with Kody again,” she said in Sunday’s episode.
Ahead of his and Janelle’s separation in late 2022, Kody split from Christine Brown in November 2021. Meri Brown confirmed in January that she and Kody had also parted ways. Kody remains married to fourth wife Robyn Brown. | https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/sister-wives-recap-janelle-reveals-which-son-still-speaks-to-kody/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:40Z |
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.

Jimmy Johnson emotional as he talks entering Cowboys Ring of Honor
Jimmy Johnson was inducted into the Dallas Cowboys’ Ring of Honor on Saturday, about 30 years after he led the team to a Super Bowl championship and then parted ways.
Years of tension between team owner Jerry Jones and Johnson were officially put to rest as the legendary head coach got to see his name up on AT&T Stadium next to some of the greats who graced the organization over the years.
Johnson appeared in his usual spot on “FOX NFL Sunday” and got a little choked up talking about the honor.

“I guess you can say it’s kind of a final chapter,” Johnson said, “because you go into the College and the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Ring of Honor, the University of Miami Ring of Honor, Dallas Cowboys, but what made it so special, the whole journey and last night – I had my family there, my best friends there and my players and my coaches …”
Michael Strahan and Terry Bradshaw comforted Johnson as he fought back tears.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson also dropped by and gave the former Miami Hurricanes coach his letter of intent. He mentioned how influential the coach had been in his life.
Jimmy Johnson joined Tom Landry as the only coaches alongside the 19 players and two executives in the exclusive Cowboys honor.
“Thank you, Jerry Jones, for bringing me to the Dallas Cowboys,” he told the crowd.
Johnson left the Cowboys after the 1993 season amid a high-level split with Jones. One of the theories over the abrupt end was a tussle over who should get the credit for the turnaround.
Dallas was 1-15 in 1989 – the year Jones bought the Cowboys and hired Johnson – to the first back-to-back Super Bowl titles in franchise history in 1992 and 1993.
“I think we’re past who gets credit,” Johnson said. “The two of us, working together, made history. When I say working together, we talked every single day. I don’t ever recall us having a difference of opinion.”
Johnson would coach the Miami Dolphins later, but he would ultimately retire and head to the TV side.
But it appears the chapter is finally closed for Johnson and Jones.

LAREDO, Texas — Customs officers seized narcotics with an estimated street value of $10.2 million at a border crossing between Texas and Mexico, authorities said.
According to a news release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, agents seized the drugs at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo on Dec. 21.
A customs officer referred a 2001 Freightliner tractor hauling a utility refrigerated trailer with a manifest of a commercial shipment of cut flowers for secondary inspection, the news release stated.
During the inspection, officers discovered 164.72 pounds of alleged methamphetamine in powder form, 854.07 pounds of alleged meth in crystal form and 165.34 pounds of alleged cocaine.
Officials estimated that the drugs had a combined street value of $10,298,520.
Agents seized the narcotics, and Homeland Security Investigations special agents are investigating the seizure, the news release stated.
“CBP is proud of the work our frontline officers do to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our communities,” Alberto Flores, director at the Laredo Port of Entry, said in a statement. “This significant seizure is an example of ongoing operational efforts conducted daily to protect our borders.” | https://www.hot105fm.com/news/trending/customs-officers-seize-meth-cocaine-valued-102m-border-crossing/QORQLDR44JGF7NUPEPNKB56NDU/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:41Z |
“As soon as a coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs," ran an early advertising jingle attributed to Johann Tetzel, a 16th-century indulgence salesman. Funding the church offered believers an alternative to paying for sins in the afterlife. The carbon-credit market promises something similar. Instead of reducing your carbon footprint, why not simply pay someone else to do it for you?
“As soon as a coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs," ran an early advertising jingle attributed to Johann Tetzel, a 16th-century indulgence salesman. Funding the church offered believers an alternative to paying for sins in the afterlife. The carbon-credit market promises something similar. Instead of reducing your carbon footprint, why not simply pay someone else to do it for you?
It is a nice idea. Yet the voluntary carbon market—as opposed to compliance markets, such as the EU’s emissions-trading scheme—is in turmoil. Latter-day Martin Luthers, whose objections to Tetzel led to the Reformation, have pointed out that offsets struggle to prove they make a difference to emissions: renewable projects are often viable on their own, thus providing funding does not lower emissions.
It is a nice idea. Yet the voluntary carbon market—as opposed to compliance markets, such as the EU’s emissions-trading scheme—is in turmoil. Latter-day Martin Luthers, whose objections to Tetzel led to the Reformation, have pointed out that offsets struggle to prove they make a difference to emissions: renewable projects are often viable on their own, thus providing funding does not lower emissions.
Scandals have also sapped investor appetite. A report by the Guardian, a British newspaper, alleged that many leading “nature-based" offsets, which usually attempt to restore forests, are junk. Activists argue that middle men hog the proceeds and indigenous people fail to benefit. Prices for nature-based offsets plunged from $15 a tonne after the COP climate summit in Glasgow two years ago to a disastrous $0.10 a tonne after the recent meeting in Dubai, according to Xpansiv, an exchange.
Reformers were at the summit in force, with proposals for how to fix the market. These include plans to verify, tally and register offsets. Six outfits, including the Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative, which provides advice on how to use credits, and the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market, which aims to set offset rules, launched what they called an “end-to-end integrity framework".
The hope is that such reassurance might tempt back corporate buyers. McKinsey, a consultancy, has estimated that the market value of voluntary offsets could reach $50bn by 2030, up from $2bn or so today, given the number of firms that have vowed to decarbonise supply chains. Banks have begun to open trading desks to buy and sell offsets. On December 4th the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, an American regulator, published guidance on how it will regulate markets.
Vast flows of private finance could provide money for poor countries to fight global warming. America’s state department therefore outlined plans for its own carbon-offset scheme at COP, through which firms could pay countries to clean up electricity production. The Dominican Republic and Nigeria have signed up. So have McDonald’s, a fast-food chain, PepsiCo, a consumer-goods firm, and Bank of America.
The Rockefeller Foundation, which is working with the state department, also supports a similar scheme. The idea is to mix private investment, loans and carbon credits to reduce the cost of replacing coal with renewables. The first deal has been agreed between ACEN, a Filipino energy firm, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the island-state’s central bank. Companies will be able to use credits to pay the territory’s carbon tax from 2024.
Countries also inked deals under a provision of the Paris agreement on climate change that allows them to co-operate in meeting emissions promises. Switzerland came to an agreement with Ghana under which it will fund four waste facilities. Singapore signed a deal with Papua New Guinea that will allow it to count some of the latter’s emissions cuts as its own.
Yet negotiations over a final rule book for bilateral deals, as well as a carbon-credit market with the imprimatur of the UN, went nowhere. Negotiators clashed over how much transparency to require. Without nationally accredited schemes, firms will have to turn to the “Wild West" of the voluntary market, says Mandy Rambharos of the Environmental Defence Fund, a charity. The danger is that bad press provides an excuse for firms to withdraw from the market altogether. After cop, the price of nature-based offsets fell even further; the hope is that they will rise once the reforms are actually implemented. For carbon sinners, heaven can wait. | https://www.livemint.com/market/can-the-carbon-offset-market-be-saved/amp-11704082028696.html | 2024-01-01T04:26:43Z |
2023 could go down as the greatest year for gaming of all-time. It's up there, no one can deny that. But despite the fact that there are tons of truly incredible games that have made their debut this year, only three (in my opinion) stand out and should be in contention for Game of the Year. You've heard their names all year around, but if you needed a reminder, they are The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur's Gate III, and Alan Wake 2.
Each of these three games, depending on who you talk to, can have very strong arguments for why they should be regarded just that little bit higher than the others. For me, it's Alan Wake 2 that should be given that treatment, and let me explain my reasoning why.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is special, it really is. The efforts and improvements that Nintendo has made with this sequel transforms one of the greatest games of all-time into a product that is even better. The building suite is simplistic yet unbelievably deep, the multi-tiered world makes for an experience that is ridiculously huge and packed with intricate detail at every turn, and the narrative at the game's core is genuinely interesting to follow. These are all areas that Breath of the Wild lacked in, and that game stood out back in 2017 for its brilliance anyhow.
Baldur's Gate III basically debuted and pointed crosshairs at every major AAA developer in the industry. At a time where monetisation, overused mechanics, and soulless sequels felt more common than ever, Larian gave us a game that was fresh, absurdly large and packed with content, supported deep and fulfilling multiplayer, and also was bolstered by great post-launch improvements that kept (and have continued to) iron out any issues that the community have reported. And this is all while being a product that you buy once and get unfettered access to it... Baldur's Gate III is effectively the gold standard of what a AAA RPG can and should be.
But, even though both of these games are excellent for a plethora of reasons, a huge list that I have barely even begun to delve into in my summaries above, to me, neither game stands out like Alan Wake 2 does. What Remedy has concocted with this game is unlike anything I have ever experienced before in a gaming sense. It's ruthlessly weird, narratively perfected, refined to a tee, and has managed to take an already fabulous and beloved game from 2010 and bring it into the modern day with a sequel that literally never misses a beat.
Alan Wake 2 is unlike Baldur's Gate III and Tears of the Kingdom because it's special, because it's unlike anything we've ever seen, and because it's a hugely risky premise. Tears of the Kingdom was destined to be a success due to the acclaimed nature of Breath of the Wild and Baldur's Gate III has years of Early Access research and improvements under its belt, but Alan Wake 2 is simply a strange, bizarre and massively expensive game that if it didn't land with fans, could have gone down as one of the biggest failures in gaming history. But it hasn't.
To me, this is why Alan Wake 2 needs to be Game of the Year. We might never see a game like Alan Wake 2 debut ever again, well... until Remedy releases its next title... probably. But, you can be damned sure that in the future Link, Zelda, and Hyrule will be back, and likewise we'll see other RPGs that blow us away, either from Larian again, or from Bethesda, CD Projekt Red, BioWare, the list goes on. I don't want to generalise the sheer brilliance and excellence of Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur's Gate III, but a title like Alan Wake 2 could only be created by the folks at Remedy. This is a game that can and only ever will come from a team that are creatively expressive enough, have the talent to ensure its offered up to a very high calibre, and have the balls to pitch and then spend years developing it. There is only one Remedy Entertainment, and thus, there can only be one Game of the Year candidate. | https://www.gamereactor.eu/bens-2023-game-of-the-year-alan-wake-2-1331343/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:42Z |

U.S. school closures ordered for Monday due to heavy snowstorm
There will be no preschool classes, and all other activities in some schools and colleges involving events, athletic practices, fitness centers and even library use will be canceled, the TV said.
Heavy snow covered Washington beginning Friday and into Saturday, and the National Weather Service said the unusual winter weather brought some areas around Seattle more than 10 inches of snow on Saturday, "the most in February in 70 years."
Washington State Department has closed major roads overnight because of blowing and drifting snow, KEPR TV said.
Washington Trooper Thorson tweeted Saturday that hundreds of cars were stranded near the state's I-82 highway and Coffin road in Benton County after a large injury collision piled up earlier in the day.
Washington Governor Jay Inslee declared a state of emergency for the state in anticipation of the upcoming storm weather on Friday.
"I have declared a state of emergency in preparation for this #wasnow winter storm. Everyone in WA needs to focus on preparing for the snow and staying safe," he tweeted. | https://en.inform.kz/news/u-s-school-closures-ordered-for-monday-due-to-heavy-snowstorm_a3497027/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:43Z |

5 times colleges hosted kids on campus to indoctrinate them
The 'Illegal Drag Show' event was hosted by a student-fee-funded campus group.
Colleges and universities have been pushing LGBTQ ideology on their own faculty, staff, and students for years. Now, some are going so far as to spread that ideology to minors as well.
Campus Reform has compiled a list of 5 times in 2023 that higher education hosted kids on campus to indoctrinate them.
1. EXCLUSIVE: Kids subjected to bizarre nude performance at ‘all ages’ Oregon State drag event
Underage children were exposed to adult nudity at a recent drag show at Oregon State University’s Lasells Stewart Center, hosted by the student-fee funded campus LGBTQ group Rainbow Continuum on June 2.
On June 4, the University of Connecticut (UConn) celebrated Pride Month by hosting its second annual “Queer Science Conference,” which is offered “to give queer and trans youth role models in various STEM [science, technology, engineering, and math] fields.”
According to an online recap, the one-day event “connected high school students with LGBTQIA+ faculty, staff, and graduate and undergraduate students at UConn who work in STEM disciplines, offering community and mentorship as well as state-of-the-art laboratory experiences and opportunities for hands-on science demonstrations.”
3. Tulane recruits high schoolers for summer courses in ‘gender equity’
High school students will be studying ‘decolonizing feminisms’ and other gender equity courses at Tulane University’s Newcomb Summer Session this summer.
The Newcomb Summer Session is a pre-college program for high school students. This year’s session provides seven courses on various feminist studies, covering topics such as women’s advocacy and activism, ‘rape culture,’ ‘decolonization of feminism’, and ‘reproductive rights.’
4. University of Evansville set to host summer ‘pride camp’ for minors
The University of Evansville in Indiana is set to run a weeklong “Pride Camp” from Sunday, June 18, to Saturday, June 24, for teenagers ages 13-17.
Teens who attend will “[b]uild lifelong friends with incredible activities throughout the week while learning about social justice and activism” and “[h]ear powerful stories of LGBTQ+ history and heroes – and learn how to write your own story your way.”
5. Harvard event for high schoolers includes ‘Queer Brown Vegan,’ ‘climate storyteller’
Harvard hosted its third annual Youth Summit on Climate, Equity, and Health on August 1, aiming to train high school students on combating climate change.
“Young people care deeply about social justice and climate change,” Harvard stated in a press release for the inaugural summit in 2021. The summits are “designed to channel this energy, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, encourage solution-minded thinking, and give young people a platform to make their communities healthier and more equitable.” | https://www.campusreform.org/article/5-times-colleges-hosted-kids-on-campus-to-indoctrinate-them/24527 | 2024-01-01T04:26:43Z |

Warm weather, an outdoor cinema and family activities have seen tourists flock to Lake Eppalock this summer in what is shaping as a bumper holiday season for the resort.

Lake Eppalock Holiday Park assistant manager Sandy Jager said the tourism business was booming.
"We have been actually booked out for probably three months," she said.
"Tourists and day visitors, we are getting a heap."
Ms Jager said that the water level of the lake had allowed people to fully enjoy all water-based activities.
"I suppose our biggest drawcard is the lake," she said.
"(Lake Eppalock) is absolutely beautiful, still at 90 per cent (capacity).
Camping, fishing, boating, swimming or picnicking are some of the activities people can enjoy while relaxing near the lake.
Ms Jager said the lake had been a hive of activity this summer and with sunshine forecast for the foreseeable future, there was no better time to come and see the area.
"We pride ourselves on being a family park and there are heaps of families here which is really beautiful to see," Ms Jager said.
New cinema and more locals visiting
Ms Jager said another big drawcard for the holiday park and its visitors was the newly opened outdoor cinema which is planned to entertain both guests and visitors.
"We have just built a brand new outdoor cinema," she said.
"We pulled the old one down that was there for who knows how many years before hand.
"(The cinema) will be on a tennis court that's not quite finished yet, but we had out first screening for our outdoor cinema last night which was magnificent.
"So beautiful, balmy nights everyone can sit out there."
Ms Jager said the holiday park had camping spots available from the middle of January but the entire place would be full again for Australia Day.
She said something which was becoming more common was seeing locals booking stays at the park.
"More and more people from the local area who didn't know we were here (are coming to the park) and in the past 12 months especially we have seen more and more of that happening," she said.
"We get a lot of people from the northern suburbs of Melbourne coming in but, yeah we are getting much more locals coming."
Ms Jager said anyone looking for "good, clean, safe fun" should take a trip out to the lake and enjoy a day by the water. | https://www.bendigoadvertiser.com.au/story/8472637/see-what-the-lake-has-to-offer-say-lake-eppalock-holiday-park/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:46Z |
The Ducks could find no New Year's Eve magic tonight on home ice, falling 7-2 to the division rival Edmonton Oilers at Honda Center.
The loss, Anaheim's fourth in its last five games, dropped the club to 13-23-0 on the season and 6-14-0 on home ice. The Ducks continue an eight-game homestand, and open their 2024 schedule, Wednesday against Toronto.
Max Jones and Frank Vatrano scored for Anaheim, with the latter netting his team-leading 17th goal of the season. Trevor Zegras, Ryan Strome, Radko Gudas and Alex Killorn added assists. John Gibson made 30 saves.
Warren Foegele led the way for Edmonton offensively with two goals and three assists for his first career five-point night in the NHL. Ryan McLeod, Evander Kane, Leon Draisaitl, Zach Hyman and Brett Kulak also scored. Calvin Pickard earned his third win of the season, and the 38th of his NHL career, turning aside 28-of-30 Anaheim shots.
Edmonton opened the scoring just over four minutes when McLeod found free space in the low slot and shoveled home a centering pass from Foegele behind the net.
After scoring just twice in his first 28 appearances of the season, McLeod has goals in four of his last five games.
Anaheim temporarily pulled even on a remarkable individual effort by Jones, who forced a turnover behind the Edmonton net and then tapped home the rebound on Strome's subsequent bid in tight. | https://www.nhl.com/ducks/news/recap-ducks-close-2023-on-sour-note-with-7-2-loss-to-oilers | 2024-01-01T04:26:46Z |
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.
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.

North Carolina pastor attempted to stick wife’s co-worker’s head into deep fryer: police
A High Point, North Carolina, pastor was arrested last week after allegedly assaulting and attempting to push his wife’s co-worker’s head into a McDonald’s deep fryer, according to police.
The High Point Police Department reported that on Dec. 28, a woman was training to be a manager at the S. Main Street McDonald’s location when her employees were “disrespecting” her.
As a result, the woman called her husband, 57-year-old Dwayne Waden, to help with the situation.
Witnesses told police that when Waden arrived, he walked into the McDonald’s then around the counter before placing his hands around the victim’s neck.
3 SUSPECTS ARRESTED AFTER KILLING OF OFF-DUTY POLICE SERGEANT AT NORTH CAROLINA GAS STATION
After grabbing the victim’s neck, Waden allegedly pushed the victim’s head toward one of the restaurant’s deep fryers, police said.
Waden also punched the victim several times in the face, police allege, and did not stop striking the victim until multiple employees were able to pull Waden off of the victim.
The victim reportedly suffered a “large contusion” to the forehead and right eye, police wrote, as well as scratches on his neck.
CHIPOTLE WORKER BEATEN BY FURIOUS CUSTOMERS UPSET OVER EXTRA CHICKEN CHARGE: POLICE
Emergency crews arrived on the scene, though the victim had his family drive him to the hospital instead.
Police said the officers were able to watch surveillance footage of the incident before arresting Waden for assault and battery.
Waden was transported to police headquarters and posted bond in the amount of $1,000. He is due back in court Jan. 22.
Waden notes on his Facebook page that he is both a semi-truck driver and a pastor at Elevated Life International Ministries. | https://www.wgmd.com/north-carolina-pastor-attempted-to-stick-wifes-co-workers-head-into-deep-fryer-police/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:47Z |
FREEPORT, N.Y. — Authorities in New York are looking for the person responsible for stabbing a dog 17 times.
The dog, a 2-year-old Terrier mix who has since been named Cornell, was injured by a sharp object on Nov. 27, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly told WNBC-TV. He survived the attack but had a long road to recovery.
A woman claimed to have found the dog bleeding on a street in the Long Island village of Freeport, according to the television station. The dog did not have a collar or an identification chip, Donnelly said. There was no evidence that Cornell was part of a dogfighting ring, WNBC reported.
The woman who found the dog is not a suspect, Donnelly said.
“Cornell can’t tell us his story. He can’t tell us what happened. He can’t tell us why or when something like this happened to him,” Donnelly told WABC-TV. “We just know he was found bleeding from the 17 wounds.”

“I’ve seen some pretty horrific things but the extent of the amount of times he was stabbed is unimaginable how someone could ever do that,” Ashley Behrens, acting director of the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, told WPIX-TV.
The dog is now walking, jogging and thriving, barely a month after he was attacked, according to the television station.
Two-year-old terrier mix Cornell is walking, jogging, and thriving just one month after being found with 17 stab wounds across his body, according to county officials.
“Some of the stab wounds caused his lungs to leak air between his body cavity and his lungs, and they had to be drained a number of times,” Donnelly said, according to WABC. “The other stab wounds were cleaned, were either stapled or sewn.”
Donnelly said there were currently no suspects, but she said her office is seeking the public’s help to find out what happened to Cornell.
“I believe this was somebody’s pet. He’s too healthy and in too good shape to have been a street dog,” Donnelly said, according to WNBC. “We need the public’s health to help us find who did this to Cornell.”
Gary Rogers of the Nassau County SPCA echoed Donnelly’s comments.
“People start out on animals before they move into human beings,” Rogers told WPIX. “Somebody in the community knows what happened. You got to keep your community safe. You need to call the DA’s office and tell them who did this because next time you’re going to look at this it could be somebody else.”
Nassau County SPCA is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction, WABC reported. | https://www.hot105fm.com/news/trending/dog-survives-after-being-stabbed-17-times/7UTCMVE4B5H7XPWUMMAC6N3X3U/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:47Z |
Investors Have Cut China’s Internet Giants Down to Size
Summary
After a lousy three years for China’s internet giants, many investors are asking: Where do things go from here?HONG KONG—Investors in China’s biggest internet companies have suffered through a tumultuous 2021, a lackluster 2022 and a disappointing 2023.
After a lousy three years for the once-hot sector, many investors are asking—where do things go from here?
The Chinese internet sector has lost more than $1.2 trillion in market value since the start of a regulatory crackdown that has resulted in fines, troubled restructuring attempts and changes to business strategies. The shares of former stock-market darlings Alibaba, Tencent Holdings and JD.com have more than halved in value from their peaks, and investors are now betting on the rise of their smaller and nimbler rivals.
Game publishers
Before December, investors were eager to bet on online game makers like Hangzhou-based NetEase, whose sales and profits soared in 2023. But just before Christmas, Chinese authorities delivered another blow to the sector.
The country’s videogame regulator proposed new rules to limit the amount of time and money people spend on computer and smartphone games, causing a massive selloff in the shares of NetEase and its larger rival Tencent.
It was also a rude shock to many investors who had believed that China’s regulatory crackdown on the country’s tech giants was over. That clampdown began in late 2020 with the cancellation of fintech company Ant’s blockbuster initial public offering, and resulted in fines for Alibaba, delivery giant Meituan, ride-hailing company Didi Global, Ant and other companies.
Tencent won’t need to fundamentally change its business model or gaming operations as a result of the draft rules, said Vigo Zhang, a Tencent Games executive responsible for China public affairs.
The recent selloff seemed more punitive than the possible hit to the game makers’ revenue and profit, said Robin Zhu, a China internet analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, in a note to clients. Zhu said Tencent derives close to a third of its videogame revenue from other countries, while NetEase is benefiting from a strong pipeline of new games and its use of generative artificial intelligence.
More broadly, the regulator’s action showed again why Chinese stocks are risky.
“Investors crave certainty and stability when it comes to the environment in which companies are operating, and the constant interventions do little to inspire confidence that companies can maximize their potential," said Oliver Blackbourn, a London-based multiasset portfolio manager at Janus Henderson.
E-commerce giants
Chinese internet companies used to be among the country’s fastest-growing businesses. They benefited from the rise of China’s middle class and a countrywide embrace of digital payments and internet shopping. But the growth engine has stalled. The biggest companies are now regarded as bellwethers for domestic consumption, which has been slow to recover.
E-commerce companies can no longer rely on wider economic growth to fuel a rise in revenue, but are increasingly competing for the same pool of customers, said James Kenney, senior investment manager for emerging equities at Pictet Asset Management. “The pie is remaining the same, and what we’re seeing within that pie is that JD.com and Alibaba are losing market share, and PDD is gaining," he said.
PDD Holdings in late 2023 became China’s most valuable e-commerce stock after it surpassed Alibaba, which has lost its mojo. The company has been growing strongly at home—through its Pinduoduo shopping platform—and abroad, as its Temu app has taken off in the U.S. Its third-quarter revenue was almost double what it generated last year.
PDD remains much smaller than Alibaba in revenue terms, but its rise highlights a stark shift in China’s growth story.
The world’s second-largest economy has faltered after a yearslong campaign against Covid-19 dealt lasting damage to the confidence of consumers and businesses. Chinese consumers are increasingly sensitive about how much they spend. PDD has thrived by offering many cheap goods and bargains.
PDD’s net profit margin of 23% in the recent third quarter was far higher than Alibaba’s 12% and JD.com’s 3.3%. The company has won over customers with an algorithm that matches individual users with products that they are likely to buy, said Xiaoyan Wang, an analyst at research firm 86Research.
The outlook
Faced with limited growth options at home, Chinese internet companies will have to find more revenue sources abroad or try to boost their stock prices through carve-outs or spinoffs of their business units. The latter strategy hasn’t worked out so far, due to Hong Kong’s moribund market for IPOs. Alibaba recently abandoned a plan to spin off its cloud computing unit. JD.com has let applications for its own deals expire.
Does this mean investors should stay away from China’s internet giants? Some portfolio managers don’t think so, and say they are looking for bargains in the sector.
Chinese tech companies that lack growth prospects abroad—such as Alibaba—are now being treated as value stocks, said Ernest Yeung, a portfolio manager at T. Rowe Price. That means investors are putting much of their focus on the stock price, often in comparison to earnings, rather than betting on a company’s long-term prospects. There are still value opportunities in China’s tech sector, he said.
Cash-rich tech giants are helping their cases with dividends and stock buybacks. In total, Chinese technology companies have returned more than $18 billion in 2023, according to Nomura. They include Alibaba, which recently started paying dividends for the first time.

Weeks ahead of the grand consecration of Ram Mandir in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya, fraudsters have been allegedly defrauding people in the guise of collecting donations for the construction of the Ram temple.
This scam has prompted the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) to approach Uttar Pradesh police, and the outfit has also issued a warning on social media, asking people not to fall prey to the scam.
"Alert..!! Some individuals are attempting fraud by creating fake IDs in the name of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirth Kshetra to deceive people. @HMOIndia @CPDelhi @dgpup @Uppolice should take prompt action against such individuals," VHP's National Spokesperson Vinod Bansal said in a post on X on Sunday.
"Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Nyas has not authorized anyone to collect funds for this occasion. We have sent the formal complaint to the @dgpup and @Igrangelucknow to take immediate steps in the matter of faith," he added.
The VHP spokesperson also issued a video message, claiming that they had been informed about the racket trying to loot devotees in the name of donations for the temple. "We have been informed that some people are trying to collect money through social media by creating a fake ID in the name of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra and generating a fake QR code."
"Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra has not given anyone any right to collect money in any way. And those who are making such efforts want to cheat people in a fraudulent manner, and action should be taken against them. For this, I have immediately informed the Ministry of Home Affairs, DGP Uttar Pradesh, and the Delhi Commissioner of Police and demanded that the strictest action be taken against such people. And people should also be careful. This is a time of celebration, and we are going to give invitations and not accept any donation or gift of any kind," he added.
According to the VHP, a miscreant identified as Abhishek Kumar sought funds for Ayodhya Temple Development on social media.
Girish Bhardwaj, a VHP member said in a letter to the Uttar Pradesh DGP and IG. said that Kumar posted the UPI QR codes in Facebook groups with the line 'Ram Mandir Ayodhya Chanda pradarshan Karen.' On scanning the QR Code, UPI will direct the user to UPI ID '9040914736@Paytm' with the name Manisha Nallabelly, Bhardwaj said.
He further mentioned in the letter that the Shri Ram Janmbhumi Teerth Kshetra Trust has clarified many times that no private person or people are authorised to collect funds for the temple. Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra is a trust set that has been given the responsibility of the construction and management of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
"There seems to be a malicious motive to deceive unsuspecting devotees and use social media to collect money illegally. At a time when the entire nation is rejoicing over the Ram Temple inauguration, such preposterous activities should be nipped in the bud. I have attached screenshots for your reference. Please do the needful in this regard," Bhardwaj added in his letter. | https://www.deccanherald.com/india/uttar-pradesh/vhp-alerts-uttar-pradesh-police-as-fraudsters-con-people-in-name-of-ram-temple-construction-donation-2831061 | 2024-01-01T04:26:49Z |

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

It started with a simmer, then rose to a boil at the finish.
But the Flames stuck to their guns, and tied a bow on 2023 with a 4-3 victory over the Flyers at Scotiabank Saddledome.
Blake Coleman scored the deciding goal in his 500th career NHL game, while Mikael Backlund, Dennis Gilbert and Nazem Kadri also tickled the twine for the hosts.
The goaltenders were the story of the game through much of the first two periods.
The Flames forced Flyers netminder Samuel Ersson into a couple of early glove saves including on a chance from Gilbert just past the three-minute mark.
The Calgary defender stepped around a Flyer before wiring a shot into Ersson’s glove from the left circle.
A minute later, Markstrom was forced into an early stop when Philadelphia blueliner Travis Sanheim snuck in for a breakaway; the Flames puck-stopper blockered aside Sanheim’s effort from the low slot.
The Flyers opened the scoring just shy of the 10-minute mark, though, defenceman Rasmus Ristolainen finding his first goal of the season after he jumped up and converted on a cross-zone feed from the right circle.
At the other end of the ice, Ersson was forced into his most challenging stop of the period with just under seven minutes remaining in the opening frame. Martin Pospisil fizzed a hard pass from left to right across the Flyers zone onto the tape of Rasmus Andersson, who then weaved his way into the low slot before unleashing a backhand chance that was a right toe away from entering the net.
The Flames kept pressing, but the Philly goalkeeper stopped all 12 shots that came his way, denying Jonathan Huberdeau on a pair of notable opportunities including a redirect attempt from just outside the blue paint.
The locals had a glorious opportunity to even the score two minutes into the middle stanza.
Backlund sifted a puck across from left to right to Elias Lindholm on a short-handed odd-man rush, but Lindholm’s snapshot was deflected away by a desperate Ersson, who thrust his left arm out to get just enough of the puck to direct it past his post.
The goaltending duel continued through the bulk of the period, Markstrom stating his case with just under six minutes left with a cool series of stops off Cam Atkinson and Morgan Frost after Atkinson tried his luck from the right flank.
The homeside found its long-awaited equalizer at the 18:21 mark. Gilbert chipped a puck into the left corner to Andrew Mangiapane, who froze a Philadelphia defenceman before spotting Backlund in the slot.
The Flames captain slipped away from a defender into space, then one-timed his eighth goal of the season over Ersson’s left shoulder. | https://www.nhl.com/flames/news/flames-close-out-2023-with-4-3-win-over-flyers | 2024-01-01T04:26:52Z |

The recent selloff seemed more punitive than the possible hit to the game makers’ revenue and profit, said Robin Zhu, a China internet analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, in a note to clients. Zhu said Tencent derives close to a third of its videogame revenue from other countries, while NetEase is benefiting from a strong pipeline of new games and its use of generative artificial intelligence.
More broadly, the regulator’s action showed again why Chinese stocks are risky.
“Investors crave certainty and stability when it comes to the environment in which companies are operating, and the constant interventions do little to inspire confidence that companies can maximize their potential," said Oliver Blackbourn, a London-based multiasset portfolio manager at Janus Henderson.
E-commerce giants
Chinese internet companies used to be among the country’s fastest-growing businesses. They benefited from the rise of China’s middle class and a countrywide embrace of digital payments and internet shopping. But the growth engine has stalled. The biggest companies are now regarded as bellwethers for domestic consumption, which has been slow to recover.
E-commerce companies can no longer rely on wider economic growth to fuel a rise in revenue, but are increasingly competing for the same pool of customers, said James Kenney, senior investment manager for emerging equities at Pictet Asset Management. “The pie is remaining the same, and what we’re seeing within that pie is that JD.com and Alibaba are losing market share, and PDD is gaining," he said.
PDD Holdings in late 2023 became China’s most valuable e-commerce stock after it surpassed Alibaba, which has lost its mojo. The company has been growing strongly at home—through its Pinduoduo shopping platform—and abroad, as its Temu app has taken off in the U.S. Its third-quarter revenue was almost double what it generated last year.
PDD remains much smaller than Alibaba in revenue terms, but its rise highlights a stark shift in China’s growth story.
The world’s second-largest economy has faltered after a yearslong campaign against Covid-19 dealt lasting damage to the confidence of consumers and businesses. Chinese consumers are increasingly sensitive about how much they spend. PDD has thrived by offering many cheap goods and bargains.
PDD’s net profit margin of 23% in the recent third quarter was far higher than Alibaba’s 12% and JD.com’s 3.3%. The company has won over customers with an algorithm that matches individual users with products that they are likely to buy, said Xiaoyan Wang, an analyst at research firm 86Research.
The outlook
Faced with limited growth options at home, Chinese internet companies will have to find more revenue sources abroad or try to boost their stock prices through carve-outs or spinoffs of their business units. The latter strategy hasn’t worked out so far, due to Hong Kong’s moribund market for IPOs. Alibaba recently abandoned a plan to spin off its cloud computing unit. JD.com has let applications for its own deals expire.
Does this mean investors should stay away from China’s internet giants? Some portfolio managers don’t think so, and say they are looking for bargains in the sector.
Chinese tech companies that lack growth prospects abroad—such as Alibaba—are now being treated as value stocks, said Ernest Yeung, a portfolio manager at T. Rowe Price. That means investors are putting much of their focus on the stock price, often in comparison to earnings, rather than betting on a company’s long-term prospects. There are still value opportunities in China’s tech sector, he said.
Cash-rich tech giants are helping their cases with dividends and stock buybacks. In total, Chinese technology companies have returned more than $18 billion in 2023, according to Nomura. They include Alibaba, which recently started paying dividends for the first time.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A South Florida business owner is accused of shooting a landscaper on Friday after the worker allegedly blew leaves onto his property, authorities said.
According to Miami-Dade County online booking records, Claudio Arrendell, 52, was charged with one count of attempted murder.
Police said that Arrendell, the owner of P&P Auto Tire Shop in northwestern Miami-Dade County, got into an argument with the landscaper, WTVJ-TV reported.
A judge gave the business owner no bond on Saturday, after allegedly shooting a landscaper over leaves blown onto his property. Here's the latest: https://t.co/pCUhEtiKi5
— NBC 6 South Florida (@nbc6) December 31, 2023
Police said the landscaper was working at a property across the street from the business, and Arrendell was allegedly upset that the leaves from the workers were blowing onto his property, according to the television station.
According to police, Arrendell allegedly pulled out a gun and shot the landscaper, WSVN-TV reported.
The victim, who has not been identified, was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital and was originally listed in critical condition, according to WFOR-TV. The victim has since been upgraded to stable condition, investigators told the television station.
During Arrendell’s court appearance on Saturday, the judge ruled that Arrendell would be held without bond, according to WPLG-TV. | https://www.hot105fm.com/news/trending/tire-shop-owner-accused-shooting-landscaper-who-blew-leaves-onto-property/JTNTIP5L75ARBN5YW6AF2T5ZU4/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:54Z |
Chennai: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Monday began the New Year on a positive note with the successful take-off of PSLV rocket carrying XPOSAT, the country’s first dedicated satellite to study black holes, and 10 other payloads start-ups and educational institutions, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota near here.
The PSLV-C58 mission, which is a record 60th flight for the launch vehicle known as the space agency’s warhorse, took off from the first launch pad at 9.10 am. The mission, which will launch XPOSAT into an Eastward low inclination orbit, comes after the ISRO successfully launched Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya-L1, the country’s third unmanned moon mission and first solar mission respectively.
XPoSat (X-ray Polarimeter Satellite) is the first dedicated scientific satellite from ISRO to carry out research in space-based polarisation measurements of X-ray emission from celestial sources. While the satellite configuration is modified from IMS-2 bus platform, the configurations of the mainframe systems are derived based on the heritage of IRS satellites.
With this, India is only the second country in the globe after the US to launch an advanced astronomy observatory to study black holes and neutron stars.
The satellite will have two payloads -- POLIX (Polarimeter Instrument in X-rays) and XSPECT (X-ray Spectroscopy and Timing). While POLIX will measure polarisation of X-rays in the energy band 8-30keV emanating from about 50 potential cosmic sources through Thomson Scattering, XSPECT will carry out long term spectral and temporal studies of cosmic X-ray sources in the energy band 0.8-15keV.
Besides, the mission launched ten additional payloads with one designed to compare solar irradiance and UV Index by students from the LBS Institute of Technology for Women in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram. Seven of the ten payloads are from private sector or educational institutions, while three were made by ISRO institutions.
The mission will also study the distribution of magnetic field, geometric anisotropies, alignment with respect to the line of sight, nature of accelerators in galactic cosmic X-Ray sources by measuring degree of polarization and its angle. It will also study and confirm that the production of X-Rays is either from the polar cap of the neutron star or outer cap of the pulsar magnetosphere. | https://www.deccanherald.com/science/space/isros-xposat-to-study-black-holes-soars-into-the-skies-on-new-year-2831049 | 2024-01-01T04:26:55Z |
Ravens demolish Dolphins to claim No. 1 seed in AFC playoffs
The Baltimore Ravens made quite the statement on Sunday, as they clinched the No.1 seed in the AFC playoffs with a blowout 56-19 win over the No. 2-seeded Miami Dolphins.
Lamar Jackson, aiming for his second career MVP award this season, added to his stellar resume with another highly efficient game on offense.
Jackson finished with 321 yards through the air on just 18-of-21 with five touchdown passes and 35 yards on six rushes. And it got to the point where his backup, Tyler Huntley, completed a 19-yard touchdown pass in garbage fourth-quarter time.

It happened immediately for Jackson and the Ravens’ offense on its first drive of the game, as Justice Hill, his second running back, made two big catches on the drive, including the 20-yard wheel route for the touchdown. It was a 7-7 game as the Dolphins saw Cedrick Wilson Jr. hauling in an eight-yard strike from Tua Tagovailoa to start the game.
In the second quarter, Jackson started seeing some unreal catches by his receivers, including Odell Beckham Jr., who hauled in a 33-yard bomb down the right sideline to set up a Gus Edwards one-yard touchdown to make it a 14-10 game.
FROM OUTKICK: MALE GIANTS FAN TRIES TO STEAL KYREN WILLIAMS TOUCHDOWN BALL FROM RAMS RB’S MOTHER
The Dolphins would grab a field goal on the ensuing drive to cut the Ravens’ lead, but Jackson wasted no time with a response. On the very next play, Zay Flowers broke free from coverage and took a pass from Jackson 75 yards to the house to make it 21-13.
Things started falling off the rails for the Dolphins when Tagovailoa threw the first of his two interceptions on the day on a pass intended for Wilson, where Roquan Smith sniped it out of the air. Four plays later, Isaiah Likely made a phenomenal one-handed catch on fourth-and-7 and dove into the end zone for a 35-yard touchdown.
With a 28-13 lead entering the second half, the Ravens knew the Dolphins’ offense was more than capable of tying things up quickly. They got the ball out of the break, and Hill took the opening kickoff 78 yards to begin the drive on Miami’s 18-yard line. A few plays later, it was Likely hauling in his second touchdown of the day from seven yards out.
The Dolphins would get a touchdown to De’Von Achane later in the half, but the game was virtually out of reach at that point when it was 35-19 in the fourth quarter. Miami had a turnover on downs and a fumble, which saw three straight Baltimore touchdowns hit the scoreboard.
Looking at the stat sheet, Edwards led the Ravens’ rushing attack with 68 yards on 16 carries, while Flowers had 106 receiving on just three catches to lead that category. Charlie Kolar and Patrick Ricard also added touchdowns to their stats for the year.
For Miami, Tyreek Hill had six catches for 76 yards to lead the way, but he also had an uncharacteristic drop in the end zone early in the game that led to a Miami field goal instead. In the end, it didn’t really matter for the Dolphins.
Tagovailoa was 22-of-38 for 237 yards with two touchdowns and his two interceptions, while Achane had 107 yards on the ground on 14 carries. | https://www.wgmd.com/ravens-demolish-dolphins-to-claim-no-1-seed-in-afc-playoffs/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:54Z |

The 25-hour countdown for the launch of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-DL (PSLV-DL) commenced smoothly at 8:10 a.m. on Sunday, according to officials from ISRO. The PSLV-DL variant, coded as PSLV-C58, a towering 44.4 meters in height and weighing 260 tons, is poised to take off from the first launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.
In a precision maneuver, the rocket's fourth stage will be restarted twice to adjust the orbit, reducing it to a 350 km circular orbit. This alteration is crucial for maintaining a 3-axis stabilized mode for Orbital Platform (OP) experiments.
The highlight of this mission is the execution of the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-3 (POEM-3) experiment, aiming to fulfill the objectives of the 10 identified payloads. These payloads have been provided by both ISRO and the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe).
The satellite aims to understand the sources of X-rays and conduct in-depth research on black holes. It marks only the world's second mission of this nature, following NASA's 2021 Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer mission.
The rocket was scheduled to blast off at 9:10 am, propelling XPoSat to an altitude of approximately 650 km about 21 minutes into its flight.

The Bendigo Spirit produced their best performance of the season to defeat the Melbourne Boomers 81-78.

The three-point victory kept the Spirit in touch with the Women's National Basketball League top four.
"It was a really gritty win by the team,'' coach Kennedy Kereama said.
"The team played their roles and made some big plays when it mattered down the stretch.
"That game was an example of the team basketball we need to play if we want to beat these talented teams."
For a moment it appeared as though the game was going to follow a painstaking course that had cursed the Spirit in several games this season.
The Spirit led for much of the second-half only for the home team Boomers to score six unanswered points to grab a one-point lead with 52 seconds remaining.
In previous games this season the Spirit haven't been able to execute big plays to win games.
This time around they weren't going to let the game slip away.
Alicia Froling, the best player on the court for the night, came up with a crucial offensive rebound off an Ally Wilson missed jump shot and she scored from underneath the basket to give the Spirit a one-point lead with 33 seconds on the clock.
The Boomers missed a jump shot and an attempt from under the bucket and the Spirit regained possession.
Kelly Wilson was fouled and sent to the free throw line where she calmly sank both free throws to extend the Spirit lead to three points.
The Boomers had eight seconds to attempt a three-pointer to tie the game, but the Spirit kept the pressure on the home side with brilliant defence and the Boomers didn't get a shot away.
Alicia Froling, who has arguably been the Spirit's most consistent player this season, was outstanding against the Boomers, scoring a game-high 23 points on 8-11 shooting to go with 12 rebounds, two blocks and one steal.
Her dominance allowed the Spirit to outscore the Boomers 44-28 inside the paint.
"Alicia is so consistent in what she does,'' Kereama said of Froling.
"She's developed a great post game where she has great footwork and she's a good athlete.
"She has an engine that allows her to play big minutes. She's super important to what we want to do."
Mehryn Kraker (12 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals) and Kelsey Griffin (12 points, eight rebounds, two assists) played key roles at both ends of the court.
Inserted into the starting five ahead of Abbey Wehrung, point guard Kelly Wilson had 11 points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal and no turnovers in 26 minutes of court time.
Wehrung's impact on the game was far greater than the two points and five assists on the stats sheet.
Wehrung defended Boomers' star import Jordin Canada for much of the game and restricted her impact, particularly in the second half.
"What I really admire about Abbey is how she takes on any challenge in life,'' Kereama said.
"I spoke to her through the week about the changes I wanted to make to the starting five and her response was 'I don't care as long as we win'.
"Abbey wasn't in the starting five, but her role didn't change. It was just a a case of when she was injected into the game.
"She still played the important role we needed her to play."
The victory lifted the Spirit to a 4-7 record ahead of Friday's "home" game in Geelong against the Townsville Fire. | https://www.bendigoadvertiser.com.au/story/8473173/bendigo-spirit-defeat-melbourne-boomers-in-wnbl-thriller/ | 2024-01-01T04:26:59Z |

Huberdeau on assisting on Gilbert's goal:

Brisbane: Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka looked solid on her return to elite tennis after 15 months out as she beat Germany's Tamara Korpatsch 6-3 7-6(9) in the first round of the Brisbane International on Monday.
The 26-year-old from Japan last competed on tour at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo in September 2022 and had her first child, daughter Shai, in July before stepping up her preparations for the Jan. 14-28 Australian Open.
Osaka displayed no signs of rust to break Korpatsch to love in her first game back and the former world number one turned up the heat again towards the end of the opening set to close it out in 38 minutes with a sizzling forehand winner.
Twice Melbourne Park champion Osaka dropped serve for a second time late in the next set to squander her advantage but continued her clean ball-striking in the fiercely contested tiebreak to secure the victory.
"I was super nervous but I was really excited to be out here. It feels really good to be back," Osaka said after taking pictures with fans courtside.
"I feel like the last couple of years that I played before I had my daughter I didn't return as much love as I was given, so I really feel like that's what I want to do in this chapter.
"I just really appreciate people coming out and cheering for me, because I feel there was a time that I was just a little kid trying to watch my role models play. So it feels really surreal sometimes to be playing on these courts."
Up next for Osaka is a clash with former world number one Karolina Pliskova, who received a bye into the second round. | https://www.deccanherald.com/sports/tennis/new-mother-osaka-makes-winning-return-in-brisbane-2831066 | 2024-01-01T04:27:01Z |

UAE Press: Dubai Expo will open up unlimited opportunities
"With more than 190 countries and international organisations confirmed to participate in the six-month mega event, and with much of Expo construction completed, the country is brimming with enthusiasm," said The Gulf Today in an editorial on Sunday, WAM reports.
Things are shaping up fast with His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, announcing earlier this month a new national logo featuring the Ghaf tree, which will be used by government and private entities for campaigns, initiatives and programmes during 2019.
As H.H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, pointed out, the World Expo comes at a unique moment in time for our region and will inspire youth to learn more about the world and about each other. They will find they have more in common than differences, and discover unity in diversity.
"Tremendous efforts are ongoing to make the event a grand success. Thousands of workers are tirelessly working on the site," added the editorial comment.
Interestingly, 80 percent of the Expo-built structures on site will be retained as part of District 2020, an integrated community that will be a new destination in Dubai.
District 2020 has already attracted interest from leading global companies including Expo's Premier Partners Accenture and Siemens, which will establish important bases there. District 2020 is part of the wider national development of Dubai South and will be linked by the Metro extension and connected by four major UAE highways.
For the first time, each participating country will have its own pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, giving all nations the opportunity to showcase their achievements, innovations, cultures and long-term visions to the world. The event is expected to attract as many as 25 million visits, with 70 percent of visitors projected to come from outside the UAE.
"Expo 2020 Dubai will thus be a celebration for all. It will offer an ideal platform for all nations to share their collective visions of the future. As the theme "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future" suggests, the event will provide a great platform for encouraging creativity, innovation and collaboration," concluded the Sharjah-based daily. | https://en.inform.kz/news/uae-press-dubai-expo-will-open-up-unlimited-opportunities_a3501469/ | 2024-01-01T04:27:03Z |

Fitter, stronger, relaxed and elated to be home around family and friends - Alessia McCaig had every reason to smile as she made her return to racing in Bendigo.

The Australian cycling young gun gave the home fans a thrill at the Christmas Carnival on Friday night and she took more out of the experience than what she thought leading into the event.
"I love racing in Bendigo and seeing the juniors coming through is one of the best parts of it,'' McCaig said.
"Getting the chance to race against a really good field of girls, we don't always get the chance to race against a lot of girls, was really exciting.
"I surprised myself, my form was a little bit better than I thought it would be.
"I won't be at my peak for another month-and-a-bit, so it was a confidence-booster heading towards some big races."
McCaig's domination of the women's events was far from a shock and arguably her best performance of the night wasn't a winning ride.
The sprint specialist is not accustomed to riding 2000m wheelrace finals, particularly against men, but she produced a mighty effort to finish third behind Blake Agnoletto and David Mann in the Lindsay Harrington Memorial Wheelrace final.
"I was pretty stoked because I wasn't sure how I'd go at 2000m,'' McCaig said.
"When I got to the last lap and I still felt alright I wanted to push myself to make sure I stayed on that podium. I was really happy with that ride."
Early in January, McCaig returns to her base in Adelaide to ramp up training ahead of a hectic February-March schedule.
"Nations Cup in Adelaide at the start of February is a big target and our benchmark event will be the Oceania Championships in New Zealand in mid-to-late February,'' McCaig said.
"The nationals are on at the start of March, so I have some big races that I'm super excited about.
"I feel stronger and more confident this race season, particularly after the way I rode here in Bendigo."
The 20-year-old said qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics was not on her radar at this stage.
"It's very much a longshot for me,'' she said.
"It's not completely off the table, but it's not something that I'm aiming for because I am a fair way off at the moment." | https://www.bendigoadvertiser.com.au/story/8473245/alessia-mccaig-makes-triumphant-return-to-racing-in-bendigo/ | 2024-01-01T04:27:05Z |

It was a family affair for Frank Ivancic, who assembled his clan of 13 on the shores of Lake Eppalock to celebrate.
"During the year everybody works, everyone is busy," he said.
"But at this time of year, I always dedicate these four weeks after Christmas just for family and friends."
Meanwhile Titch and Susan, from Moama, were enjoying a mid-afternoon drinks in what appeared to be a campground bar.
"Well everyone thinks [our campsite] is a bar, and I do not mind," Titch said.
"I will be sitting there and people will just walk straight in and I say, 'what are you after?' - and I just let them grab a couple of tinnies."
A few campsites over, Romsey's Kara Liddicoat was partaking in what had become a family tradition.
"We come down [to Lake Eppalock] for 10 nights each Christmas ... we will be up at the campsite by the fire tonight," Ms Liddicoat said.
Watching young girls Scarlet, Tilly and Ava jump off the family boat, Ms Liddicoat offered up her New Year's resolution.
"Live life to the fullest," she said.
First ever Bendigo New Year's
Kiera, Jolyon, Arthur and Edith Attwooll brought in their first New Year's Eve as Bendigo residents at Golden Square Pool.
The family had moved to the city from Ballarat three days ago, and Ms Attwooll looked forward to colouring all of 2024 in shades of Bendigo.
"[In 2024] I'm looking forward to just really enjoying Bendigo and throwing ourselves into the city," she said.
"And watching our kids grow up and embrace Golden Square in particular."
The Attwooll family were part of the around 300 people expected at the Golden Square Pool New Year's Eve community party.
Fellow pool goer Laura Hicks, with daughters Eva and Olive, were also getting a swim in before heading to the fireworks at Rosalind Park later that evening.
The "sunshine, nice pool and beautiful atmosphere" brought the family out to the pool party, Ms Hicks said.
Best seats in the house
A steady procession of camping chairs and Eskys had filled the lawns of Rosalind Park by 7pm, as families got in early to nab the best fireworks viewing spots.
"Location, location, location," Louis Mertikas, who had arrived at the park with his twin boys Sam and Mathew around 5pm, said.
To fill the hours before the fireworks, Sam, Mathew and friend Lukasz kicked a soccer ball between family picnics.
Also among the first families to arrive at the park were Bec, Ryan and young girl Marley, who attended the Rosalind Park festivities for the first time.
"It is really nice, and we are Bendigo locals so we thought why not give it a go," Bec said.
"And it is lovely here."
The family friendly fireworks would fire from the Rosalind Park Poppet Head Lookout at 9:15pm on December 31, and another display would fire off at midnight. | https://www.bendigoadvertiser.com.au/story/8473283/hello-2024-families-celebrate-new-years-eve-across-bendigo/ | 2024-01-01T04:27:06Z |
RALEIGH, NC. - Whether you're reading this on the final day of 2023, or the first day of 2024, a happy and healthy new year to you and yours.
Additionally, thank you. Thank you for your support of the franchise in one of its best calendar years to date.
2023 was another stretch of 365 days with more wins than losses for the Carolina Hurricanes, who produced a record of 48-28-7 in 83 regular-season contests. The sixth-most points of any NHL club, the ultimate prize was not brought home in the spring, but 2024 will provide another opportunity.
There were more sell-outs (41 including playoffs) than any other year in Raleigh, as the team earned points in 31 out of 41 regular-season home games. The fan base, and passion, continue to grow.
Who could forget Saturday, February 18 at Carter-Finley Stadium? Over 56,000 showed up to see a victory over the Washington Capitals in the team's first outdoor game, a memory that many had waited a long time for. It felt like the perfect celebration for the organization's 25th anniversary season.
Brent Burns produced more goals (20) than any other defenseman in the NHL this calendar year, an amazing accomplishment for someone set to celebrate his 39th birthday in March.
Sebastian Aho, who was going to become an unrestricted free agent in 2024, instead became the latest young star locked up long-term by the team, signed to an eight-year extension through 2032.
The team flexed its muscles in a major way in free agency this past summer, landing two of the biggest available fish in Michael Bunting and Dmitry Orlov.
Lastly, and most importantly, the team and the Centennial Authority reached a 20-year lease extension agreement, solidifying the Canes' presence in Raleigh through 2044.
Let the good times roll, y'all.
Reflection complete, let's get to the questions you all were kind enough to send in via X. | https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/mailbag-74-ended-the-year-hot | 2024-01-01T04:27:07Z |
Beijing: China's President Xi Jinping exchanged congratulations with US President Joe Biden on the 45th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries, the official Xinhua news agency said on Monday.
Xi also exchanged New Year's messages with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un, and both announced 2024 to be a "friendship year" for both countries, launching a series of activities for that, Xinhua said separately.
On New Year's Eve, the Chinese leader exchanged New Year's greetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin as well. This year is the 75th anniversary of China and Russia establishing diplomatic relations.
Xi said China and Russia should "continuously consolidate" and develop ties "featuring permanent good-neighbourly friendship", along with comprehensive strategic coordination and mutually beneficial cooperation that would serve both countries' interests.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China by Mao Zedong, who defeated Republic of China forces led by Chiang Kai-shek in a bloody civil war.
Mao declared the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, while Chiang's government fled into exile in Taiwan in December of that year. No peace treaty has ever been signed to end the war and the Republic of China remains Taiwan's formal name.
Xi in his New Year's address on Sunday said China's "reunification" with Taiwan is inevitable, striking a stronger tone than he did a year earlier with less than two weeks to go before the democratically governed island elects a new leader. | https://www.deccanherald.com/world/chinas-xi-us-president-biden-celebrate-45-years-of-diplomatic-ties-2831069 | 2024-01-01T04:27:07Z |

This retirement announcement arrived with an open door for a potential appearance in the 2025 Champions Trophy, underlining Warner's dedication to cricket even as he steps away from the ODI format.
David Warner, at 37, leaves behind an impressive Test legacy, having amassed 8,695 runs at an average of 44.58 in a career that boasts 26 centuries and 36 half-centuries. His impact extended to the one-day format since his debut for Australia in 2009, notably contributing to the national side's World Cup victories in 2015 and 2023.
"That was something that I had said through the (2023) World Cup, get through that, and winning it in India, I think that's a massive achievement.
Warner's decision also stemmed from the pivotal achievement of winning the 2023 World Cup in India and an eagerness to explore opportunities in global T20 leagues while aiding the progression of the one-day team.
"So I'll make that decision today, to retire from those forms, which does allow me to go and play some other (Twenty20) leagues around the world and sort of get the one-day team moving forward a little bit...I know there's a Champions Trophy coming up," he added. "If I'm playing decent cricket in two years' time and I'm around and they need someone, I'm going to be available."
Impressive ODI record and future endeavors
Exiting the ODI arena after featuring in 161 matches, Warner leaves behind a formidable record of 6,932 runs at an average of 45.30, featuring 22 centuries. Only Ricky Ponting, among Australians, has surpassed Warner's remarkable tally of one-day tons.
While bidding farewell to ODIs, Warner reaffirmed his commitment to the T20 format, setting his sights on the 2024 World Cup scheduled in the Caribbean and the United States.
Warner's decision to depart from one-day cricket opens doors for Australia to find a new opener, particularly for the impending series against the West Indies in February, following the Pakistan Test series.
Reflecting on his Test career, Warner shared insights into a potentially different retirement scenario. He admitted considering the Lord's Test during the Ashes series as a possible swansong if his form hadn't contributed positively to the team's efforts.
Cricket Australia chief Nick Hockley acknowledged Warner's incredible Test career, recognising his instrumental role in Australian victories while captivating fans globally. Warner, reflecting on his journey, expressed gratitude for a "fairytale ending" to his Test career in Sydney.
"We are all extremely grateful for his immense contribution to this form of the game," he said in a statement.
"David's wonderful attacking style not only played a vital role in many Australian victories, it also enthralled and entertained fans across the world and drew many to Test cricket."
A larger-than-life character, Australia coach Andrew McDonald described Warner over the weekend as "probably our greatest ever three-format player".
However, his legacy is also overshadowed by his involvement in the infamous ball-tampering scandal of 2018 in South Africa. Together with captain Steve Smith, David Warner faced a one-year ban following their roles in the third Test controversy in Cape Town. The incident involved Cameron Bancroft using sandpaper to tamper with the ball, followed by an attempt to conceal the evidence in his trousers, marking a significant and regrettable chapter in their cricketing careers.
Enduring legacy and final words
In his parting words, Warner expressed his desire to be remembered as someone "authentic and honest".
"I would have never imagined opening the batting for New South Wales or anyone to be honest when I first started but to be here, 112 Tests I think, I still pinch myself," he said.
He added that he would like to be remembered as someone "authentic and honest" who has "gone out there and given it his all".
As he bids a poignant farewell to one-day international cricket, Warner's legacy continues to resonate within the cricketing world.

UAE Press: IDEX proves a roaring success
"National companies have reason to rejoice. On day two of IDEX and NAVDEX 2019, national companies received 18 of the 24 deals, while the remaining 6 were awarded to international companies," said The Gulf Today in an editorial on Tuesday.
IDEX has remained the most strategically important tri-service defence exhibition in the world and is the only international defence exhibition and conference in the MENA region demonstrating the latest technology across land, sea and air sectors of defence.
Organised by ADNEC in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence and UAE Armed Forces, the latest edition of IDEX and NAVDEX successfully showcased the newest defence developments featuring technology trends from the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Artificial Intelligence and the vital role of these technologies in advancing the defence sector and its relevant industries.
"The event has once again proved to be a unique platform to establish and strengthen relationships with government departments, businesses and armed forces throughout the region," added the editorial comment.
As His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, correctly pointed out, IDEX reflects the UAE's international stature in organising and hosting global events according to the highest international standards.
The UAE is witnessing the advancement of its military defence industry due to the support offered by the country's leadership based on a comprehensive vision of national security.
The growing popularity of the event could be gauged by the fact over the past 25 years the number of exhibitors frequenting IDEX has increased by 400 percent, with the number of participating countries rising by 250 percent over the same period. Visitor footfall rose by 500 percent, while the show floor dedicated for the event has gone up by 900 percent compared to the first edition in 1993.
Interestingly, there were several new components in the latest edition, including an IDEX museum detailing and celebrating the exhibition's 25-year journey. For the first time, the International Defence Conference, had been combined with the Abu Dhabi International Offset Conference, with the aim of creating a comprehensive global forum covering all defence and security issues.
"On the whole, it's heartening that the UAE exhibition industry has become a regional and global pioneer," concluded the Sharjah-based daily. | https://en.inform.kz/news/uae-press-idex-proves-a-roaring-success_a3499675/ | 2024-01-01T04:27:10Z |

ALEX NEDELJKOVIC STYMIES ISLES
Five days after getting shut out by Tristan Jarry, the Islanders ran into another hot Penguins goalie in Alex Nedeljkovic.
The first period was the Nedeljkovic show, as the Penguins netminder stopped all 14 Islanders shots, including a Casey Cizikas on a breakaway early, which proved pivotal. The Penguins went back the other way and scored 24 seconds later, with Jansen Harkins passing around a sliding Alex Romanov on a two-on-one rush to Lars Eller for the icebreaker at 2:18.
Nedeljkovic came up big again on the Islanders first power play of the game, racking up four saves, including a desperation dive across his net.
“That first power play I think three or four of those saves we could have had and then you know some of the ones at the end,” Scott Mayfield said. “We just didn't get there bounces. One bounced off my skate of in front of squeaked in and we couldn't get that on the other end.”
The Islanders killed off a five-on-three penalty spanning the end of the first and start of the second periods, but couldn’t capitalize on the momentum, as the Penguins extended their lead to 2-0. Drew O’Connor’s shot was deflected by Noel Acciari before deflecting again off Scott Mayfield’s skate and through Ilya Sorokin at the 2:20 mark.
The Islanders had their looks the rest of the way, but Nedeljkovic was equal to the task. Cizikas was denied again by Nedeljkovic, as he whacked a puck out of the air, but into the goalie’s pads. Anders Lee and Mathew Barzal followed it up with chances that laid in the crease, but ultimately did not cross the line. All six of Brock Nelson’s shots were stopped by Nedeljkovic, as well as five from Barzal and four from Lee.
The Islanders finally broke Nedeljkovic’s shutout bid with 6:09 to play, as Samuel Bolduc stepped into a rebound in the slot and beat the Penguins’ goalie high. The goal was Bolduc’s first of the season, but Eller iced the game with an empty-netter. Nedeljkovic was named the game's first star.
“We played a good game,” Cizikas said. “It was a tight game the entire time and their goalie made a lot of big saves to keep the lead for them, so we just have to keep attacking and keep doing what we're doing and sticking to our game.” | https://www.nhl.com/islanders/news/3-takeaways-islanders-fall-3-1-in-pittsburgh | 2024-01-01T04:27:13Z |

The round robin portion of the 2024 World Junior Hockey Championships has wrapped up in Sweden. A big night for one of the Winnipeg Jets prospects as Rutger McGroarty led the United States into first place in Group B.
USA 10, Slovakia 2
The Americans clinched top spot in their group with a huge win over Slovakia thanks to a hat trick from Rutger McGroarty (his first three goals of the tournament) and 38 saves from Trey Augustine (Detroit 2023 2nd round). McGroarty played 15:31 and had seven shots on goal in his best game of the four he’s played so far.
Chris Peters, NHL Draft and Prospects analyst for FloHockey on McGroarty: “Playing more to his standard. Pace, endurance and physicality all improved. Stepped up and had his most complete game here today. Feels like he is fully rebounded. His words: ‘I’m definitely back’.”
The Americans are the top seed in the tournament heading into the medal round and will go up against Latvia in the quarterfinals.
Sweden 4, Finland 5 (Shootout)
Sweden lost their first game of the tournament as Finland tied the game with 1:32 remaining in the third period and then went on to win in a shootout. Elias Salomonsson (Winnipeg, 2022 2nd round) was paired with Axel Sandin Pellikka (Detroit, 2023 1st round) again and played 19:35 and had a shot on goal. Fabian Wagner (Winnipeg, 2022 6th round) started the game on the fourth line and played 13:22.
Mike Johnson, TSN analyst on Salomonsson’s performance at the tournament so far: “He’s been solid. Good skater for a thicker guy. Not playing quite as many minutes after suspension.”
The Swedes had already clinched first in their group before today and will face Switzerland in the quarterfinals on Tuesday. | https://www.nhl.com/jets/news/jets-at-the-worlds-day-6 | 2024-01-01T04:27:21Z |

The second game of the home and home series between the Winnipeg Jets and Minnesota Wild was expected to be more physical and it delivered. Adam Lowry dropped the gloves with Pat Maroon right off the opening faceoff and that set the tone for the rest of the afternoon. The Jets won a gritty, hard-fought contest 3-2 over the Wild to sweep both games this weekend. Adam Lowry, Vladislav Namestnikov and Dominic Toninato scored for Winnipeg and Laurent Brossoit made 24 saves to win for the third time in his last four starts and has allowed two goals or less in all four of those appearances.
100 GOALS FOR LOWRY
The Jets third line of Lowry, Mason Appleton and Nino Niederreiter figured to play a large role in this weekend’s games between the Jets and Wild. The trio were huge on Saturday creating seven high danger scoring chances and getting two goals from Niederreiter. They did all that while shutting down the Wild’s top line yesterday. Sunday afternoon, with Winnipeg trailing 1-0 in the second period, Lowry found a loose puck in front of the Wild net and scored his 100th career goal. Appleton tied a career high with his 13th assist of the season on the Lowry marker.
“It’s something I’ll look back on and be proud of. I’m not necessarily known really for my scoring, so it’s nice to be able to contribute once in a while," said Lowry.
"Hopefully I can score another 100 in this league, and it doesn’t take me a decade.” | https://www.nhl.com/jets/news/three-things-toninato-scores-game-winner-in-third | 2024-01-01T04:27:27Z |
SHELDON, Iowa (KCAU) – The Sheldon High School is overdue for a refurbishment, and come this November, the community will decide whether or not to move forward with a bond measure aimed at bettering the learning experience.
“As much as anything we want to offer a first-class environment, first-class educational experience to all of our students and we feel like this is our opportunity to do that,” Sheldon High School Assistant Principal Eric Maassen said.
“The building is 54 years old, its been a tremendous asset to our school district for a long long time but its aged, and it’s time to do some expanding and renovating the existing facilities,” Sheldon Community School District Superintendent Cory Myer said.
A $33 million construction project for the Sheldon High School will be on the ballot come November. Superintendent Cory Myer explains what the school needs to revamp.
“We’d be renovating and expanding on our current industrial tech space. We would have new band and choir facilities, our existing ones are not handicap accessible so we want to make sure we’re inclusive. We’d be expanding our science department,” Myer said.
More space is needed to accommodate every student at the high school.
“If you look at the spacing issues as much as anything, that’s what we’re struggling with. You know, we’re teaching classes in the library, we’re teaching a class in the auditorium right now,” Maassen said.
Superintendent Myer explains how the bond would be funded and how the project would impact Sheldon’s property tax.
“The total project is about $33 million. Of that, $19.16 (million) would come from the GO bond. The other portion would come from save funds, district save funds that we would be able to contribute to over time. The property tax implications would be $2.47 per thousand,” Myer said.
60% support is needed for the bond measure to pass.
“The community feedback we’ve received has been very positive. A lot of the community has said, you know, we know that building is almost 55 years old. Very little has been done as far as the infrastructure of those facilities,” Myer said.
Superintendent Myer said if the bond is passed, he expects the project to be complete in three years. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/local-news/sheldon-high-school-bond-measure-would-see-33-million-in-renovations-expansions/ | 2024-01-01T04:27:28Z |

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 Augustinian friars have approved the calendar of events for the 459th Fiesta Señor 2024.
Last Friday, Dec. 29, 2023, the Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño de Cebu, in an advisory, outlined a nine-day novena to honor Señor Sto. Niño, commencing with a penitential Walk with Jesus at 4 a.m. on Jan. 11, followed by a mass.
The novena will culminate on Jan. 19 with a Walk with Mary at 4 a.m. and the Misa de Traslacion at 5 a.m. The Traslacion, transporting the image of the Sto. Niño to Mandaue City, kicks off at 6:45 a.m. on the same day, with another Traslacion to Lapu-Lapu City commencing at midnight.
On Jan. 20, a seaborne procession from Lapu-Lapu City is scheduled for 6 a.m. Following that, the traditional solemn foot procession will commence at 1 p.m., followed by a reenactment of the first mass, baptism, and wedding.
To ensure the safety of the devotees, the processions will follow altered routes.
The solemn foot procession on Saturday before Fiesta Day on Jan. 21, will start from the Basilica, and with the revised route, the procession will proceed left to D. Jakosalem St., then will turn right to Magallanes St., leading to A. Borromeo St.
It will make a right turn to Leon Kilat St., followed by a left onto N. Bacalso Ave. The route then turns right to V. Rama Ave., followed by a right onto B. Rodriguez St., leading to Osmeña Blvd., ultimately concluding the procession by returning to the Basilica.
Meanwhile, the penitential Walk with Jesus will follow a shorter route from Fuente Osmeña, Osmeña Blvd., back to the Basilica.
The penitential Walk with Mary will weave through the V. Rama–B. Rodriguez corridor, avoiding the traditional Guadalupe Church to Capitol site route due to the ongoing construction of Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) terminals. It will then tread the Fuente Osmeña to Basilica route.
The collective decision to modify procession routes was announced last Nov. 15, following consultations with stakeholders from the Church and the Cebu City Government, saying safety is paramount, according to the Augustinian friars and the fiesta working committee.
In the advisory, they urged devotees to remain vigilant, particularly along the CBRT project on Osmeña Blvd.
“For safety purposes, we urge all devotees of Señor Sto. Niño de Cebu who will join the processions to be always mindful of the yellow separator of CBRT development in Osmeña Blvd,” the friars said.
They said they are collaborating with Mayor Michael Rama and the local government to ensure the safety of all participants during the processions.
Last Nov. 15, the Fiesta Señor committee already announced a set of new routes that will be followed for the foot processions, avoiding major parts of Osmeña Blvd.
Fr. John Ion Miranda, who leads the committee on safety, security, peace and order for the Fiesta Señor, ear said the introduction of the supposed new procession routes aimed to prioritize public safety by steering clear of any roadblocks.
Rama, in a pronouncement last Nov. 28, remained firm on preserving the traditional routes for the solemn foot processions despite the ongoing construction of CBRT. / KJF | https://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/basilica-bares-schedule-for-459th-fiesta-se%C3%B1or | 2024-01-01T04:27:30Z |

The action shifts to Ireland as Elliott tries to unlock his past
The UK's most watched drama series in 2022 returns for a fresh six episodes, with Jamie Dornan's amnesiac Elliott Stanley still trying to discover the painful truth about his past — and The Tourist season 2 finds its way to our screens on New Year's Day to bring in 2024.

The first Bafta-nominated series of The Tourist saw Dornan's (The Fall) unnamed character wake up in hospital without a clue of who he is or how he got there. With only a mysterious piece of paper in his pocket telling him to meet a stranger in a café, he is soon set on perilous mission across the Australian outback to rediscover his identity while avoiding the pursuit of deadly assailants hell bent on stopping him.
The Tourist season 2 transfers the action halfway around the world to the protagonist's homeland of Ireland. But if he thought that meant he was in for a quiet life, he's proved wrong before long when he's subject to a violent kidnapping. Good craic, this isn't.
At least this time he has somebody watching his back, with love interest Helen Chambers played by Danielle Macdonald (Patti Cake$) having accompanied Elliott to the Emerald Isle to help him decipher the mysteries that lay in his past. Can he work out why so many people wish him ill? And how does the dangerous McDonnell family fit in?
