Vuelta a Andalucia. Stage 3. Strong performance of Astana Pro Team in time trial with 2nd, 3rd and 7th places
"I just gave my all today. Can't say that this time trial suited me very well, it was quite short and explosive. I'd prefer to have longer climbs, but today there were just two hard but short climbs in the beginning and in the end and a long and fast downhill in the middle. It is a pity I did not win, because I was really close today. But, we still have one very hard stage tomorrow and as we saw today, we have a very strong team. We will try to do something in the queen stage," said Jakob Fuglsang.
"I can be happy with the way I did this TT. I did my best, but, it was not enough to win the stage. But, the feelings are good, and I think we are ready to challenge our rivals tomorrow," added Ion Izagirre.
"It was a good race for me, I am good at the downhill, so today I took maximum on the descent and later on the flat part just before the last climb. I am happy with my performance but also I am happy to see my teammates doing a strong race as well. We will see, what we can do tomorrow," said Pello Bilbao.
The 3rd stage of the Vuelta a Andalucia has been held on Friday between Mancha Real and La Guardia de Jaén. It was a challenging individual time trial of 16,2 km with two difficult climbs and one long and very fast downhill. Firstly, Pello Bilbao marked a very good time at the finish, showing the second best result. Later, it was Ion Izagirre, who was able to set the new best time, finishing the distance in 22 minutes and 34 seconds. But, very shortly, Jakob Fuglsang finished with the new best time - 22.27. And only the current leader Tim Wellens could beat this numbers by just 2 seconds, Astana Pro Team's official website reads.
Ahead of the tomorrow queen stage Wellens leads the race having 7 seconds of advantage to Fuglsang and 14 seconds to Izagirre. Bilbao is 6th overall, 28 seconds behind the leader.
Stage 4 will be held on Feb 23: 119,9 km from Armilla to Granada. | https://en.inform.kz/news/vuelta-a-andalucia-stage-3-strong-performance-of-astana-pro-team-in-time-trial-with-2nd-3rd-and-7th-places_a3501269/ | 2024-01-01T04:29:16Z |
SEATTLE -- When Keegan Kolesar was playing junior hockey for the Seattle Thunderbirds, he would go watch Seattle Mariners baseball games at what is now T-Mobile Park. The Vegas Golden Knights forward never imagined those two worlds would ever intersect.
As Kolesar returns to the city he called home from 2013-17 to take part in the 2024 Discover NHL Winter Classic on Monday against the Seattle Kraken at T-Mobile Park (3 p.m. ET; MAX, TruTV, TNT, SN, TVAS), the growth of hockey in the Pacific Northwest is not lost on him.
“My first time here I never thought I'll play a game outdoors in a baseball stadium or even see a game played here,” said Kolesar. “It's cool to see how far hockey's come in this city.”
T-Mobile Park is sold out to watch a game that features the two most recent NHL expansion teams, with close to 47,000 people expected to attend. That includes standing-room only tickets for a Seattle market that joined the League in 2021 and a Kraken team that qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time last season, advancing to the second round.
“They're not coming to hockey games for the $2 beer and $2 hot dogs anymore,” Kolesar said, a reference to “Toonie Tuesday” games with the Thunderbirds. “It's really cool to see how passionate sports fans are here. It's a passionate fan base and it's awesome to see hockey taking a big step.”
This is the first outdoor game for the Kraken (14-14-9) and the second for the Golden Knights (22-10-5), who joined the NHL in 2017 and won the Stanley Cup for the first time last season. Vegas played the Colorado Avalanche in the NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe in 2021, but there were no fans because of the COVID-19 pandemic, so this will be the Golden Knights' first full-stadium game experience.
"Whenever you play outdoors, it’s the purest form of the game,” said Vegas forward Jack Eichel.
This is the second NHL outdoor game for Eichel, who played for the Buffalo Sabres against the New York Rangers in the 2018 Winter Classic at Citi Field in New York City. For Eichel, the Winter Classic takes him back to playing outside on a pond near his boyhood home of North Chelmsford, Massachusetts, 40 minutes Northwest of Boston, often while wearing a baby blue Sidney Crosby Pittsburgh Penguins jersey and matching toque from the first ever Winter Classic in 2008.
“When you start playing outside you get different uniforms on, you get some eye black and I'm sure it brings back a lot of memories for guys about growing up playing on ponds in their neighborhoods or towns,” Eichel said. “We’ve got a lot of western Canadian guys, so I'm sure they've played some outdoor hockey. I feel like every kid has spent some time playing on the pond and obviously growing up watching the Winter Classic, so getting the opportunity to play in a game like this is pretty awesome.”
Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy wants his players to soak in that experience, which included having family join them for a skate at T-Mobile Park after they practiced on Sunday.
“You're mixing your family with your hockey family, so these are special moments,” Cassidy said. “I tried to tell the guys to take it all in. It's unique and you should enjoy it and make sure your family enjoys it. It's okay to let yourself go because you don't get to do this all the time.”
Once the puck drops on Monday, he expects their championship pedigree to take over.
“We're a very, very competitive group and I think our guys, the bigger the game, I think they get a little more juices going into it, so I think that's how we will handle it knowing our group,” Cassidy said. “They'll just want to win because of the stage they are on.”
That includes Kolesar, even if it’s a stage he never imagined playing on in Seattle. | https://www.nhl.com/news/topic/winter-classic/golden-knights-ready-to-play-in-winter-classic | 2024-01-01T04:29:16Z |

Ballarat's mayor is open to discussing whether a New Year's Eve fireworks display could be on the cards for the city.

Mayor Des Hudson said the discussion needs to be had between councillors when looking at the budget.
Ballarat residents took to social media trying to find community events to ring in the new year - however, many found there are no fireworks around.
Ballarat does ring in the new year with the Town Hall bells.
Cr Hudson said he saw the "disappointment" when seeing social media posts on NYE about a lack of fireworks in town.
Newer residents might be surprised to find Ballarat has never had an official NYE fireworks display.
Cr Hudson said this was due to residents who would migrate away from Ballarat during that time of year.
He said with Ballarat's growth, and being one of Victoria's largest regional centres, people were looking for community celebrations in town.
"There is a reasonable discussion for councils to have in preparation of the budget whether or not we'd look at some New Year's Eve event for those that are here and also that are visiting Ballarat as well," Cr Hudson said.
"When you see larger towns and even some smaller towns all had some fireworks display - a modest spend even for a few minutes that brings in the new year as an option to mark the transition from one year to another is worthy for that conversation and consideration."
A fireworks display can costs tens of thousands of dollars.
In 2021, it was reported the funds for the Australia Day fireworks was $40,000.
The January 26 show would often draw crowds of between 10,000 to 15,000 people.
Back then, the City of Ballarat council decided to move the city's firework display, to align with the Summer Sundays music event in January.
The event is held at Lake Wendouree in the Botanic Gardens each Sunday in January - this year, the fireworks will be on Sunday, January 14.
Cr Hudson said Ballarat council would hold fireworks at times when more people were returning to Ballarat in preparation for school.
The Courier also took to social media to find out what people did in lieu of a traditional community fireworks display - opinions were divided over having fireworks in Ballarat on NYE.
One person said they were happy top have a home catch-up rather than fireworks.
Another said people were frustrated Ballarat didn't have fireworks where other communities did and others were keen for a "family friendly" event.
One person commented an option could be for a lights and sounds show rather than fireworks.
Another person mentioned the lights show at Sovereign Hill was an option on NYE.
Every year, animal welfare services put out warnings on how these displays can frightened animals and cause then to runaway in an effort to escape the noise.
It's not only pets who can be terrorised by fireworks, but also wildlife.
The light and noise can cause a lot of distress in animals, there is even concern there could be long-term issues with annual fireworks causing issues with wildlife migration and breeding, a 2023 study found.
Fireworks cause pollution, releasing sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, suspended particles, aluminium, manganese and more causing an immediate negative effect on air quality.
Fireworks are also a concern when it comes to safety.
According to Country Fire Association, summer is the most dangerous season for fireworks with 71 per cent of injuries happening from December to February. | https://www.thecourier.com.au/story/8473537/ballarat-mayor-open-to-discussing-new-years-eve-fireworks/ | 2024-01-01T04:29:20Z |

Vuelta a Andalucia. Stage 4. Astana's Fuglsang moves into lead after queen stage
"We did a very good race, our main goal was to take the lead and we did it. At the last two climbs of the day we put Tim Wellens under a big pressure with our attacks, and also Mitchelton-Scott helped us with their attacks. It worked perfectly for us. Simon Yates was strong today, maybe I could follow his attack, but I preferred to control my closest rivals since he was out of the GC. The overall classification was our priority for today, so I just followed our plan. The team did a great job, all my teammates were so strong. In the final I had a huge help from Ion Izagirre and Pello Bilbao. We did a good downhill and had a full control over the race until the finish. I am happy to become the leader of the race. We still have one difficult day tomorrow, but in the same time we have a strong team to fight to the finish line to keep my lead," said Jakob Fuglsang.
Immediately from the start the Kazakh team took the race under its full control, setting an impressive pace. On the second climb of the day Alto de Purche (8.9 km, 7.7%) Astana Pro Team caught the early breakaway and produced a great selection in the peloton, creating a leading group of just 30 riders.
The stage (119,9 km from Armilla to Granada) has exploded again on the third climb of the day Alto de Guejar Sierra (6.2 km, 5.1%) with a few attacks of Astana riders: Luis Leon Sanchez, Pello Bilbao, Ion Izagirre and Jakob Fuglsang all tried to attack together with a few riders of Mitchelton-Scott. Thus, at the top of the climb the leading group split in parts.
The decisive moment of the race came at the last and the hardest climb of the day Alto de Hazallanas (7.3 km, 9.6%), where the current race leader Tim Wellens dropped out from the first group, while Jakob Fuglsang could stay in front, taking a good advantage.
An attack of the 2018 Vuelta a España winner Simon Yates on the last climb brought him the victory at the fourth stage. Jakob Fuglsang, Ion Izagirre and Pello Bilbao, all staying in the chasing group, did a good job and perfectly controlled the situation. Finishing 26 seconds behind Yates, the Astana rider moved Jakob Fuglsang into the lead in the overall classification of the Vuelta a Andalucia with Ion Izagirre at second position (+0.07) and Pello Bilbao at 4th place (+0.21).
The final 5th stage of the Vuelta a Andalucia will be held on Feb 24: 163,9 km from Otura to Alhaurín de la Torre, Astana Pro Team's official website reads. | https://en.inform.kz/news/vuelta-a-andalucia-stage-4-astana-s-fuglsang-moves-into-lead-after-queen-stage_a3501451/ | 2024-01-01T04:29:23Z |
SEATTLE -- Adam Larsson has become the face of the Seattle Kraken’s recent surge of success heading into the 2024 Discover NHL Winter Classic against the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Park on Monday (3 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TNT, SN, TVAS).
And it’s not because the 31-year-old defenseman is the only player to play in all 201 Kraken regular-season games since they entered the NHL as an expansion team in 2021.
Kraken players have been proudly wearing black T-shirts featuring a photo of Larsson with a bowl haircut before and after games throughout their team-record tying eight-game point streak (6-0-2). Seattle (14-14-9) was winless in eight games (0-6-2) prior to the point streak, which includes wins in its past four games.
Larsson believes there could be a connection between the T-shirts and the team’s climb back to within three points of the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference.
“I think so,” Larsson said Sunday. “We haven’t lost since. So, they turned the season around.”
The story behind the T-shirts was a mystery until Larsson revealed it after the Kraken’s practice at T-Mobile Park on Sunday. Larsson said they were revenge for a prank he played on Seattle forward Matty Beniers about two weeks ago.
“I pranked Matty in the morning,” Larsson said. “And, at night he got me back.”
When the players arrived for the game that night, the T-shirts were waiting for them in their locker stalls.
“They’re hilarious,” Kraken defenseman Justin Schultz said. “I still have mine in my stall at the rink.” | https://www.nhl.com/news/topic/winter-classic/kraken-prep-for-winter-classic-with-help-from-adam-larsson-shirt | 2024-01-01T04:29:23Z |

Vince Dunn of the Seattle Kraken will be writing a blog for NHL.com leading up to, and after, playing the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2024 Discover NHL Winter Classic at T-Mobile Park in Seattle on Monday (3 p.m. ET; MAX, TNT, truTV, SN, TVAS).
In his second installment, the 27-year-old defenseman writes about skating with his family after practice at T-Mobile Stadium on Sunday, his plans for New Year’s Eve and the special outfits the Kraken will wear for their arrival on Monday.
The ice was a lot better than I thought it would be. I think you probably saw the pucks look sticky, but I think maybe they were just warm. The conditions were pretty solid for having to maintain such a high standard of ice and I think right now we should just focus on having fun with it. It's going to be a competitive match, but I think both teams are going in with good vibes and that's really important for both teams, to be in a good spot mentally and not worry about how the ice condition and things like that. It's gonna be the same for both teams, whether it's sunny or raining and the roof is open or not. So, it was exciting and I think it's just a lot better than I thought it was gonna be out there.
The scenery around the rink was phenomenal. Just the attention to detail that they've always done here in Seattle, all the extra work they've done to make it visually appealing. So, they’ve done a great job doing that here again, putting in the little details, especially that relate to the city and that's really cool to have that. I'm sure the fans have definitely seen that too.
I had my family out there and it's just nice for them to come on the ice with us. I don't even remember the last time I got to skate around with my mom. So, it was really special for me and for her too. I must have been in my single-digit years since I was skating with her on the ice. So that's special for her just to just take it in and watch me tomorrow. I just know that she was right there too, that’s really special. Everyone had their kids and everything out there. It's nice for them to be included in this because you know we wouldn't be anywhere without them.
For the rest of today, I’m probably going to go home and chill out a little bit. And then we'll be checking into the hotel later after we have a team dinner, so pretty chill. I don't have any New Year's plans. I usually don’t do anything crazy for New Year’s anyways, so I’ll just get some family time, shut it down early and just get ready for the game.
It will be nice to just wake up and get off tomorrow. So, it's nice for us to not have the whole day to think about you know, just wake up and play like we used to.
As for our arrival look tomorrow, I didn't pick the outfits. They're relatable for the city, to say the least. | https://www.nhl.com/news/topic/winter-classic/seattle-kraken-vince-dunn-winter-classic-blog | 2024-01-01T04:29:29Z |
WB: Central Asian states to mull natural disasters
The event will be organized by the World Bank with support from the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR).
"It is the first initiative of such kind in Central Asia and we aim to encourage countries to think and adopt measures on how to be financially prepared for natural disasters," the expert said.
He noted that with its diverse geography, Central Asia is prone to natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, extreme weather events, avalanches, storms, droughts and many others. "In the past three decades, natural disasters affected over 10 million people and caused a loss of almost $2.5 billion throughout the region. Today disaster risks keep increasing."
"Central Asia's geography - which ranges from mountains to steppes, and deserts - make the region particularly vulnerable to natural disasters. Climate change is also adding to the region's vulnerability - it is predicted that by 2085 the temperature will rise by 5.7 degrees Celsius, which will increase the frequency and severity of natural disasters," Takeuchi said.
He explained that natural disasters inflict serious damage to the economy and often affect many sectors at once. "They destroy tangible assets such as buildings, equipment, transport routes, telecommunication infrastructure, agricultural production, as well as human capital."
"In Central Asia, agriculture is among the key sectors affected by natural disasters. Trade can also be affected by natural disasters in Central Asia. Numerous transport routes - arteries for trade with other countries - pass through Ferghana Valley and Pamir mountains," Takeuchi informed.
The expert said that it makes more economic sense to invest in risk reduction than to respond to a disaster when it already happened. "It also allows to save lives. Hence priority should be given to actions aimed at reducing existing risks and preventing the new ones."
"Financing should be at the core of any disaster management action. By introducing financial protection mechanisms, such as allocations of disaster funds, disaster insurance mechanisms, countries can better respond to disasters," he noted.
Takeuchi further said that natural disasters have no borders and can often affect a few countries of Central Asia at once. "At the same time, major disasters happening in a neighboring country could echo throughout the entire region. Governments of Central Asia recognize this and have taken steps towards addressing disaster risks jointly."
"For instance, bearing in mind the importance of coordinated efforts to jointly address disaster risks, the Center for Emergency Situations and Disaster Risk Reduction (CESDRR) has been established as a platform for better coordination of disaster risk management initiatives at the regional level. Besides this, the countries have been supporting each other with bilateral aid after natural disasters," the expert informed.
According to Takeuchi, there is, however, much more work to be done to boost regional cooperation and coordination on disaster risk management, and particularly on financial cooperation and data sharing.
To help make Central Asian countries more resilient to climate and disaster risks, the World Bank has been supporting a number of important initiatives across the region. The World Bank continues supporting Central Asian countries in developing a safer environment for people. For example, the World Bank's recent project helped to rehabilitate weather stations across Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan and, by doing so, improve weather forecasting accuracy by 30 percent. This will help countries to improve agricultural production, hydropower networks and keep communities safer.
The World Bank also supports Central Asia through capacity-building and analytics. For example, the World Bank helped to introduce a Post-Disaster Needs Assessment methodology, which allows to quantify physical damages and economic losses and identify recovery needs. Kyrgyzstan has already introduced this methodology and received first important results from assessing post-disaster damages and losses.

Cycling-Australian former world champion Melissa Hoskins killed in car crash
Australian media has widely reported that Hoskins' husband and twice world individual time trial champion Rohan Dennis has been arrested and charged over her death. "The AOC has expressed the utmost sadness at the loss of Olympic cyclist Melissa Hoskins after the tragic events in Adelaide," it said in a post on social media platform X.

Australian Olympic track cyclist and former world champion Melissa Hoskins has died after a car accident in the country's south, the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) said on Monday. Australian media has widely reported that Hoskins' husband and twice world individual time trial champion Rohan Dennis has been arrested and charged over her death.
"The AOC has expressed the utmost sadness at the loss of Olympic cyclist Melissa Hoskins after the tragic events in Adelaide," it said in a post on social media platform X. "Our condolences go to Melissa's family, friends and the cycling community at this extremely difficult time."
Hoskins, 32, won gold in the team pursuit at the 2015 world championships and was a member of the Australian team at the 2012 London and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics. A statement from the state police of South Australia released on Sunday said a 32-year-old woman died in the hospital after being hit by a car in an inner northern suburb of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia.
Police said a 33-year-old man has been arrested and charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care and endangering life. The driver was known to the woman and given bail to appear in court on March 13, police said. A police spokesperson said they do not confirm the names of victims or accused involved in an incident.

SEATTLE -- The drama will play out on the big stage, the Seattle Kraken and Vegas Golden Knights performing on a set crafted by Seattle-based Hotopp Creative Studio and the Seattle Shakespeare Company, as if this were a theatrical production.
A ship sinks in center field, the vessel capsized by the Kraken’s tentacles. Thoughtful, authentic Seattle details fill the scene -- piers and docks, boats and buoys, ropes and nets.
Looking for a finishing touch the other day, Gary Wichansky, CEO and head of creative at Hotopp, decided to buy a fishing net to hang over the Kraken’s red eye looming in center. He drove to Seattle Marine & Fishing Supply Co., where commercial fishermen go.
“I told them how big I wanted it,” Wichansky said, “and the guy could only tell me how big it was in fathoms.”
It’s hard to fathom how much went into the spectacle we will see at T-Mobile Park on Monday (3 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TNT, SN, TVAS). The deeper you go, the more you appreciate the transformation of the home stadium of Major League Baseball’s Seattle Mariners. | https://www.nhl.com/news/topic/winter-classic/t-mobile-park-field-gives-winter-classic-seattle-flavor | 2024-01-01T04:29:36Z |

Amid chants of 'Jai Shri Ram', Ayodhya rings in New Year
- Country:
- India
Scores of people gathered at Ayodhya's famous Lata Mangeshkar Chowk on Sunday to ring in the new year amid chants of 'Jai Shri Ram'.
A group of local residents began streaming in by 11 pm on Sunday night at the iconic roundabout to click selfies and photos.
As soon as the clock struck 12 am, a motley group came together and cheered 'Happy New Year' and some later chanted 'Jai Shri Ram'.
Lata Mangeshkar Chowk, which is named after the legendary singer, has become a famous spot for taking selfies in the holy city, a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi stopped by at the roundabout during his roadshow on Saturday.
Rekha Sengupta came along with her husband and other family members to ring in 2024.
''Today (December 31) is my birthday and in a short while we will be celebrating New Year. Tomorrow, we also plan to go to Hanumangarhi, Kanak Bhawan and, the newly-built airport,'' she told PTI.
Security personnel were deployed at prominent locations in temple town, including at the Lata Mangeshkar Chowk.
Many revellers expressed joy over the scheduled consecration ceremony of the Ram temple on January 22.
Neeraj Gupta came to Ayodhya along with two of his friends from Bahraich Road.
''We have come to celebrate New Year on the holy birthplace of our revered Lord Ram. Tomorrow (January 1) we will go to Saryu river to take a holy dip, visit a Shiva temple and then seek the blessings of Ram Lalla at Ramjanmabhoomi,'' he told PTI.
Several people, mainly youngsters were seen taking selfies standing at the periphery of the Lata Mangeshkar Chowk near Naya Ghat.

- Chief Justice John Roberts released his year-end review of the Supreme Court.
- He took a lot of space writing about the potential of AI in the courtroom.
- Notably, he sidestepped any discussions of Supreme Court ethics.
On Sunday, Chief Justice John Roberts turned his focus to the promise and shortcomings of artificial intelligence in the federal courts in an annual report that did not mention Supreme Court ethics or legal controversies involving Donald Trump.
Describing artificial intelligence as the "latest technological frontier," Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks came just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
"Always a bad idea," Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that "any use of AI requires caution and humility."
At the same time, the chief justice acknowledged that AI can make it much easier for people without much money to access the courts. "These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system," Roberts wrote.
Notable, however, were Roberts's omissions from his year-end report concerning a Supreme Court plagued with questions about its ethics and the court's first adoption of a code of conduct.
The ethics questions stemmed from a series of reports from ProPublica scrutinizing gifts that Justice Clarence Thomas received and failed to disclose from Harlan Crow, a billionaire GOP donor.
The ethical dilemmas spread to other Justices. Samuel Alito was criticized for a luxury fishing trip he took with a billionaire working to block student debt relief. Sonia Sotomayor was accused of using her position to pressure institutions where she previously held speaking gigs into buying her books. Even Roberts came under scrutiny after Business Insider revealed that his wife made millions of dollars recruiting for law firms, one of which argued a case in front of the Supreme Court.
The code of conduct eventually adopted by the court this year has been criticized for being toothless, as it only suggests, rather than demands, that justices recuse themselves from cases involving friends or family members.
The country also is entering the beginning of an election year that seems likely to entangle the court in some way in the ongoing criminal cases against Trump and efforts to keep the Republican former president off the 2024 ballot.
Along with his eight colleagues, Roberts seldom discusses cases before the Supreme Court or that seem likely to get there. In past reports, he has advocated for enhanced security and salary increases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts.
Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes but don't make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won't soon replace judges.
At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determine "whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment," Roberts wrote.
Looking ahead to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: "I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI."
A representative for the Supreme Court did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours. | https://www.businessinsider.com/chief-justice-roberts-year-end-report-ai-ethics-2023-12 | 2024-01-01T04:29:42Z |
'It is breaking my heart': Parents anguish at surging school violence as they inundated SNP with demands for action
SNP ministers have been inundated with a flood of emails and letters detailing harrowing accounts of a surge in school violence.
Distraught parents, carers, school staff and even pupils were contacting senior politicians several times a week earlier this year with “heart-breaking” stories of the way their families had been impacted by attacks.
Advertisement
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdCommunications released to The Scotsman show how some parents feared for their child’s life, as they pleaded with ministers to take action.
Many of the emails contained videos of the incidents after the footage was shared on social media by perpetrators.
One parent outlined allegations of sexual assault, another described a primary pupil who was “dragged” into school toilets before being kicked unconscious, then there was a girl who was “lured” to a changing room to be attacked while others filmed, and another incident was described as one which “could easily have left the pupil for dead”.
Under freedom of information (FOI) laws, the Government released 109 pages of communications sent to ministers, mostly by members of the public.
The vast majority are from the second half of 2022 and the first four months of 2023, in the lead up to the Government’s decision to call a summit to discuss concerns about school violence.
Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth was appointed last March and unveiled plans for a summit in May, although the Government is still to produce a detailed action plan to address the trend.
By the second half of 2022, ministers were being contacted twice a week in some months about school violence, and by January 2023 it was at an average of more than four times a week, mostly from parents.
Within 48 hours of Ms Gilruth succeeding Shirley-Anne Somerville, she was contacted by a parent who described a “premeditated attack” on their child, who had been “lured” into a PE changing room to be assaulted while others filmed it.

Hide AdThey feared their child’s life was “at risk”, having had a can of Coke thrown over her so she could not see, being thrown to the floor, before the attacker started “kicking her in the face and head, bouncing her head off a wall and kicking her in other areas”.
One of the key trends to emerge from an official study into behaviour in Scottish schools, which was published in November, was the prevalence of violence and aggressive behaviour in primaries.
The communications show how a parent contacted Ms Somerville to warn of a “drastic increase in the level of bullying and violence within the school grounds” at one primary.
They described how their son was “knocked unconscious by another primary pupil due to what can only be described as an unprovoked assault”.
During the morning break, their son had been “dragged into the toilets”, thrown to the ground, before one of the attackers “kicked him in the chest so hard” he “passed out”.
In November 2022, a pupil from an unnamed school decided to get in touch with Scottish ministers.
“I can’t remember the last time I actually learned anything in this school as the lessons are ruined a lot by the pupils,” they said.
In the same month, a school staff member contacted the Government, saying: “I am absolutely shocked at what I see on a daily basis, swearing at teachers, vandalism, toilet roll and paper towel dispensers being ripped off the wall, graffiti on all walls, corridors littered with tons of rubbish, people smoking weed.”

Hide AdIn another email, a parent wrote that as “a family we are at our wits end”, and that “persuading your child to go somewhere that feels unsafe is mentally draining as a parent”.
They added that their child was a shadow of their former self and “it is breaking my heart”.
Another sent video footage of their own child being “brutally assaulted after school” as they were standing alone waiting to be picked up.
They asked: “My (child) actually wants an education but is far too frightened to go back to school, what do I do?”
Many of the communications complained about a lack of consequences for those involved in the attacks.
It comes amid calls from teaching unions for clearer guidance on Scotland’s policy on exclusions, the rates of which have been falling in recent years amid an emphasis on “restorative practice”.
"The policy is not working, it is creating tensions between education staff, police and the community,” one writer told ministers.
"Until now I have always voted for the SNP, but a Government who is effectively not protecting my children, and creating a dystopian seeming, lawless community through romanticised policies, is absolutely failing.”

Hide AdThe spouse of one member of school staff wrote: "In no other workplace would staff be expected to deal with the level of verbal abuse, the threat of physical abuse and nothing be done.”
Another writer, who described herself as a “heartbroken and deeply concerned mother”, said: “Now your education system is subjecting my child to fear, witnessing peers being assaulted daily, and it would seem that is OK.
"Our children, we have been told, are expendable, they can be used as punch bags as often as necessary.”
A Scottish Government spokesperson said: “Scotland’s schools should be safe learning environments for all – violent and abusive behaviour towards pupils or staff is completely unacceptable.
"While the latest Relationships and Behaviour in Scottish Schools Research report made clear most young people are well behaved in school it showed disruptive behaviours have increased since 2016.
"The Education Secretary has been clear that this must be improved, and has set out five steps to address concerns around behaviour including bringing forward a National Action Plan, to set out a range of actions at national, local and school level, and a dedicated approach to responding to issues surrounding misogyny.”

Chandler Stephenson of the Vegas Golden Knights will be writing a blog for NHL.com leading up to and after playing the Seattle Kraken in the 2024 Discover NHL Winter Classic at T-Mobile Park in Seattle on Monday (3 p.m. ET; MAX, TNT, truTV, SN, TVAS).
In his second installment, the 29-year-old center discusses his first impressions of the ballpark turned ice rink, the practice day on Sunday and sharing it all with his family.
Everyone is so excited. We were up at seven this morning, and all the guys were excited to get here, see the field, put their gear on and go practice. We were all like little kids. It was a fun practice with the families around the glass watching. It’s not like anything you’ve experienced.
That's why it's so much better than what we normally go through. Not saying that to take away from our day to day, but this so much different. I think that's what makes you excited and allows you not really to think about the game yet. You just want to take everything in and enjoy it.
I haven’t been to a ton of baseball stadiums. We went to a St. Louis Cardinals game a few years ago, and I have been to a few Washington Nationals games. You know a little about what to expect, the layout, and there's going to be a lot going on with the field. But yeah, it always exceeds your expectations. It always kind of takes you back.
When you get out there at first, you think about skating outside like you did as a kid or playing on roller blades in the cul de sac during the summer. You think about those guys you played with and the times you had.
This is obviously a little different and a little better. You're wearing your full gear and all that, but it takes you back to that time when you had your skates on your stick and over your shoulder, and you're just geared up head to toe with jackets and toques and all sorts of layers to try to stay warm. You take a couple pucks and you're skating around and just shooting. It does remind you of when you were little, and you made up a game in your head that it's a Stanley Cup Final or something like that. It's cool to kind of live in that reality now.
My whole family is here. My wife, Tasha, and my son, Ford. Both sets of parents and Tasha’s family. It was great to share it all with them. A lot of them were on the ice for the family skate after practice and the rest were on the player's bench taking it all in.
I mean, that's what makes it so special for us, to have them here to experience it with you. It's not just us going through it. You know, they can't be a part of it or anything like that, usually. They can only come to the game, so I think that's what just makes it so cool. We had the little ones in the dressing room. Getting everyone to experience it and be a part of it, that is, to me, what it's all about. It's obviously cool for us and a great experience, but for them to get to see it how we see it, that is really special.
Tasha wouldn’t let go of my hand at the beginning of the skate after practice because she doesn’t skate much, but toward the end, she was on her own, doing it all by herself. She's a natural athlete. She usually picks up on stuff really quick. She said she had a lot of fun out there with the other wives and girlfriends and her friends and got to spend that time with them.
I took Ford out there, but no skates yet. Soon maybe. He wants to. He's always wanting to do something, something new and something different. So, probably next year, we'll get him in skates or maybe even this summer, get him in some skates and see how he does.
He is just over 19 months to be exact. He's biking now, he is just like a little boy. He just wants to explore, he wants to go fast. He wants to just go, go, go and then he crashes hard at the end of the day. He doesn’t stop. It's one thing to the next thing to the next thing to the next thing. So, it's a lot of fun.
Ford loves coming to the games in Vegas. When my wife brings him, he's right up there on the glass for warmups, and they get in their seats when the game starts, and he has his popcorn and pretzels. When you tell him he’s going to the game, he knows exactly what that means and gets excited about it. Every game he's been to, I've given him a puck and maybe someday, I will build a replica Stanley Cup out of them.
It’s fun seeing him just start to fall in love with new things, and he wants to do new things. He’s probably going to be pretty upset when he has to leave today. But then he gets on the bus, and you know, he likes the bus, and there's so many things he likes and enjoys now, so it's a cool experience to see how much he just loves life.
It's just a special weekend for everybody.
See you tomorrow after the game. | https://www.nhl.com/news/topic/winter-classic/vegas-chandler-stephenson-winter-classic-blog-december-31 | 2024-01-01T04:29:42Z |

How “just putting one foot in front of the other” exploded onto the scene in 2023
At the end of 2023, one of the big winners was running. It felt like everyone was doing it. Your walks to campus were filled with people on a run, and why not?
As a student, running appears to be the perfect solution. Getting out and about in the winter is hard, especially when we’re getting to and from university in the dark. Therefore, running on the weekend is a perfect way to spend some time outside, away from the laptop screens. It’s not just on the streets of Leeds that people are running, it’s on social media too. From those running 5ks to the ones training for half marathons, it is fair to say running has just as much a presence online as on the tracks. The evolution of “RunTok” has opened the world up to the wonders of running. The majority are starting as beginners and showing just how accessible a run can be. RunTok also normalises the realities of running and is a perfect place to start before you even lace up the trainers.
Why has running become so popular? Partly because of RunTok and partly because of its benefits. It improves mental health, and fills the long summer days. It’s a perfect opportunity to meet a range of people, which as a student can be a daunting task. Running is a global community, for sure, but it is also a great way to meet new people in the city. Around Leeds there are many running routes and loads of running communities; think the canal and the city’s parks. Of course, one of the largest benefits of running is the physical fitness, but there is so much more to it.
There’s a certain consensus that to be a good runner, you need all the gear. The most fancy, colourful running shoes, shorts and tops. There’s so much out there it can be overwhelming. So here is my guide for running outside in the Winter:
- A pair of gloves- to keep your hands warm!
- Layers or thermals- running in the winter is no joke, so having some layers is a nice place to start.
- A goal for the end of the run– whether it’s a sweet treat or a hot chocolate. It doesn’t have to be a PB.
- Run at a gym- If it is just too cold outside, you can always run inside.
There is also a need to be careful, especially if running in the dark. Try to stay on well lit paths as much as possible and run in groups. There are a few running groups across Leeds such as Hyde Park and Harriers, and in the last few months, These Girls Run has popped up in Leeds. These Girls Run is a women’s only run club with two runs a week, and like the other clubs, it caters for beginners too. More information can be found on their retrospective websites below.
Where to start?
There are many types of running: road, track, trail and treadmill. Whilst the idea of going outside in the cold isn’t exactly at the top of everybody’s wish list, Park Runs are a great place to start. They represent a range of different abilities and have a really good atmosphere.
The closest one to the university campus is at Woodhouse Moor. They meet at 9am on Saturdays. It has been said that you never regret a run, so why not give Park Run a try! If you scan the barcode you can set up on the website, and there you’ll get accurate times to help track your progress. Park Runs are dotted across the UK and are a free, wholesome way to start your weekend.
With the dark nights, and intense deadlines of university, running can be just the thing to help you balance your hectic student life. It doesn’t have to be a massive commitment. You don’t have to race, and you don’t have to have an insane training schedule. You can run for two minutes or twenty, it really doesn’t matter. Maybe that’s why it’s proven to be so popular in 2023, and why that looks set to continue in 2024.

- Lauren Boebert is pointing the finger at Hollywood for making her swap congressional districts.
- The Colorado Republican accused Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds of backing her Democrat rival.
- Streisand and Reynolds each donated $1,500 to Boebert's rival, Democratic candidate Adam Frisch.
Rep. Lauren Boebert is blaming Hollywood for her decision to switch congressional districts.
"We have to shut down the Hollywood elites who are trying to buy my current district," Boebert told Steve Bannon on his "War Room" podcast on Saturday.
"There has been close to $10 million poured into this district to buy this seat. Colorado's 3rd District is not for sale," she continued.
Boebert then named the stars, who she said were backing her rivals.
"When you have Barbra Streisand coming in and donating to the Democrat, when you have Ryan Reynolds coming in and donating to the Democrat, it shows you that Hollywood is trying to buy their way into Congress," Boebert told Bannon.
This isn't the first time Boebert has slammed Streisand and Reynolds for backing her opponents.
In November, Boebert had mentioned the two stars while soliciting donations from her supporters.
"My opponent has plenty of funding from Soros dark money and even Hollywood liberals like Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds," she wrote in a post on X.
According to the Federal Election Commission, both Streisand and Reynolds have donated $1,500 each to Boebert's rival, Democratic candidate Adam Frisch.
Boebert said on Wednesday that she was moving from Colorado's 3rd Congressional District to the 4th Congressional District, a more conservative part of the state.
Her announcement comes after Frisch vastly outraised her. On Tuesday, Business Insider reported that Frisch had raised over $7.7 million, according to the FEC.
That is more than triple the $2.4 million that Boebert raised, per the FEC.
"I will not allow dark money that is directed at destroying me personally to steal this seat," Boebert said in a Facebook video on Wednesday.
"It's not fair to the 3rd District and the conservatives there who have fought so hard for our victories," she added.
Representatives for Boebert, Streisand, and Reynolds did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours. | https://www.businessinsider.com/lauren-boebert-blames-hollywood-stars-for-making-her-switch-districts-2023-12 | 2024-01-01T04:29:48Z |
Alyn Smith warns closer alignment with EU vital amid global instability
Alyn Smith MP has warned a closer alignment with the European Union is vital amid global instability and the rise of the right.
The SNP Europe & EU Accession Spokesperson in Westminster, he claimed the world was forming into ‘blocs’, and a failure to work together could damage progressive politics internationally.

Hide AdSpeaking to The Scotsman, the Stirling MP also discussed the need for Scotland to have a “clear” idea of its policies in order to one day join the EU.
Discussing the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, Mr Smith suggested they had only reinforced his view that working together was crucial.He said: “This is where the EU is always going to be frustrating to somebody, it always either goes too slow or too fast, in a way that the UK is really frustrating to me because it is taking a particular attitude on that stuff and we have no way of making a contrary position.
“The world is forming into blocs before our eyes, and that’s really important. For progressive politics, there is a danger the right are better organised than we are, there is a danger of misinformation, the Trumpian playbook we are seeing in some campaigns.
"We can’t pretend this is nothing to do with us, I think we can effect better change within the room, within the EU than we can otherwise.
"We can be a critical friend from the outside, but I think an independent Scotland and Ireland will be helpful for progressive politics within the UK.
"Solidarity and multilaterialism and working together, the world is pretty bleak right now, and the idea walking away from the EU was a good idea, well? We’ve left ourselves alone”.
A former member of the European Parliament, Mr Smith also discussed the work he did behind the scenes on Scotland’s relationship with Europe. He described the work as “beavering away without much expectation of public recognition”, and explained it was about laying the groundwork for Scotland to join one day.
He said: “Independence in the EU is fundamental to where we are going to get to if we are going to be successful.

Hide Ad"Getting back into the EU, much of that sentiment was submerged during Covid, people weren’t travelling, and were worried about the day to day, quite rightly, but that’s now coming back.
"Through forums like the Parliamentary Assembly, we can keep the channels open, talking about the real nuts and bolts stuff, such as, we need a veterinary agreement to safeguard agricultural standards and checks at the border.
"That’s the sort of stuff that you would think that should be just happening in the background but isn’t and needs a nudge. Maintaining that visibility of the the European issue in Scotland as a live thing that we can do something about, and of Scotland as a live issue that the EU should keep an eye on is really important".
Asked if he was frustrated there was no clear date for rejoining, Mr Smith answered it wasn’t about timelines, but about maintaining relations for when Scotland was able to join.
Referencing his “leave a light on” on his last day as an MEP, he said: “We joke about the leave a light on speech, the reason I was able to make that speech and get a reaction was because everybody sensible in the room had worked with me over a ten year period. They’d worked with me on agricultural negotiations, they’d worked with me on emissions trading scheme negotiations, they’d worked with me on whether the European Parliament should be based in Strasbourg or Brussels, not both.
I wasn’t just some numpty they’d never heard of, you have to invest, you have to earn your spurs, you can’t just turn up and say ‘hello you don’t know me but I’m fabulous’.
"People want Government to be quietly and diligently working on their behalf but as far from their lives as possible.
"An independent Scotland if we’re going to get where we want to be needs to be known quantity in Brussels, and across the nuts and bolts stuff.

Hide Ad“We need to have a clear image of what exactly it is we are bringing to that table, we need to be a known quantity on fisheries policy, agriculture, and the university sector.
“If people don’t know who we are, the discussion will be that much more difficult. Maintaining those links is not going to be on the front page of a newspaper anytime soon, but if you want to know who to call in Brussels on a particular topics, I’ve got their mobile number”.
Despite this, Mr Smith admitted there wasn’t yet huge interest in Scotland joining, explaining Britain as a whole was now deemed less important to the EU.
He said: “The answer is no, there is a keen interest in what is happening, there is an awareness. They’re well briefed on what’s going on.
"The British isles has slipped down the EU’s agenda, that’s the harsh reality of it. The Brits are a third country, even in the meeting we just had yesterday, one of the House of Lords was complaining ‘I feel like we’re being treated a bit like the Philippines, a third country’, and you could see MEPs going, ‘yeah, that’s what you wanted chief, sorry’”.
Mr Smith also hinted his party would support a Labour Government seeking a closer relationship with the EU, rather than bringing it down for not being close enough.
He said: “I think one of our key planks in the Westminster campaign is we will challenge the Labour party to make good on its promises to improve relations with the EU”.

SEATTLE -- Joey Daccord is pumped about his next start.
"Honestly, I think it's the coolest thing in the world just to get this opportunity," the Seattle Kraken goalie said. "I just think of all the memories I have skating on my best friend's rink in his backyard. That's where it all started. To now be playing on the biggest in the NHL in the regular season, it's a truly magical experience."
Daccord is expected to lead the Kraken onto the ice as their starting goalie in the 2024 Discover NHL Winter Classic against the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Park on Monday (3 p.m. ET; TNT, MAX, truTV, SN, TVAS).
Seattle (14-14-9), in fourth place in the Pacific Division, comes into the Winter Classic on both a four-game winning streak and eight-game point streak (6-0-2). Daccord is 5-0-2 with a 1.54 goals-against average and .949 save percentage since Dec. 12.
"It's an incredible moment," Daccord said.
Logan Thompson feels the same way. He is the Golden Knights’ expected starting goalie and will be the first player to emerge out of the third-base visitors' dugout, the first Vegas player to step on the ice in a Winter Classic game.
Vegas (22-10-5), tied for first in the Pacific Division with the Vancouver Canucks with 49 points each, ended a four-game losing streak with a 3-2 win against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday. Thompson made 32 saves.
"Growing up playing video games and watching on TV, you always wanted to play the Winter Classic mode or watch the game on TV," Thompson said. "To be here now and getting all the cool gear and going out there to skate, I think is a dream come true. Being a part of it is surreal." | https://www.nhl.com/news/topic/winter-classic/winter-classic-goalies-joey-daccord-logan-thompson-excited | 2024-01-01T04:29:48Z |

- Texas US Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson died on Sunday, according to reports.
- Johnson represented Texas in Congress for three decades before retiring this year.
- President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris released tributes on Johnson's career.
Trailblazing longtime US 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.
"I am heartbroken to share the news that my mother, Eddie Bernice Johnson, has passed away," Johnson's only son, Dawrence Kirk Johnson, wrote on Facebook. "She was a remarkable and loving mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and great-grandmother, as well as a trailblazer and public servant. While we mourn the loss of an extraordinary woman, we celebrate her life and legacy. She will be deeply missed."
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."
Vice President Kamala Harris also praised the late politician, calling Johnson a "pioneer" and recalled her time working alongside Johnson in the Congressional Black Caucus.
"At a young age, she witnessed and experienced the profound effects of segregation and decided she would not stay on the sidelines in the fight for justice," Harris wrote.
Johnson served in the House for three decades after becoming the first registered nurse elected to Congress and the 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 also led the Congressional Black Caucus. She left office in January after repeatedly delaying her retirement. Before Congress, she served in the Texas legislature.
Johnson announced her retirement in 2021 and later tapped Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett to run as her replacement. Crockett is currently serving in the same seat that Johnson left. In a statement following Johnson's death, Crockett recalled getting the call from Johnson asking her to take over her seat.
"While I was honored, I was also bewildered when Chairwoman Johnson called me and asked me to run to represent Texas 30," Crockett wrote. "I was only a freshman in the Texas House, and never in my wildest dreams would I think that she was aware of anything that I was doing in the House. "
Crockett, however, praised Johnson's intuition.
"But that is the thing about her: she never slept. She was always working," Crockett said. "She kept her finger on the pulse of what was going on in the Texas House, and while I didn't fully understand what I was getting myself into, I trusted her, her judgment, and her mentorship."
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." | https://www.businessinsider.com/texas-us-rep-eddie-bernice-johnson-dead-at-88-2023-12 | 2024-01-01T04:29:49Z |
More than 50,000 revellers bring in 2024 in Edinburgh at sell-out Hogmanay celebrations
More than 50,000 revellers descended on Edinburgh city centre after the city’s major events were declared a sell-out in their 30th anniversary year.
A two-hour show from headliners Pulp, an extended fireworks spectular at midnight and a mass ‘silent disco’ zone were among the highlights of the Scottish capital’s celebrations.

Hide AdThe last tickets for the main street party and an open-air concert in Princes Street Gardens were snapped up by early afternoon after a late rush and a good weather forecast for the festivities.
Four days of Hogmanay events are being staged in the heart of the Scottish capital for the first time since 2010-11 to mark the 30th anniversary of the world-famous festival.
The event, which is jointly produced by Unique Events and Assembly Festival on behalf of the city council, had pre-sold tickets in more than 60 countries this year.
The countdown to the bells began in the Assembly Rooms, which hosted a family-friendly Bairns New Year Revels event, ahead of a four-hour party at the venue over midnight.
Britpop giants Pulp headlined the 10,000-capacity Concert in the Gardens, while the 40,000 capacity street party included performances from the Kinnaris Quintet and Elephant Sessions.
The Royal Mile, which was outside the main all-ticket arena on and around Princes Street, was also thronged with revellers in the run-up to the bells.
Truck driver Andrew Warring, 57, travelled from Cornwall with his wife Sarah to join the festivities.

Hide AdHe said: “I’ve been to Edinburgh loads of times before, delivering fruit and vegetables, but Sarah had never been to Scotland at all before so we decided to come for Hogmanay.
"We're staying for a few days in the Grassmarket and are really just here to soak up the atmosphere. We’re really just trying to take everything in. It’s been fantastic so far.”
Medical student Carlotta Mancini and space engineer Alessandri Loperfiedo, from Barga, in Italy, decided to kick off a week-long holiday in Scotland at Edinburgh’s new year celebrations.
Ms Mancini, 25, said: “We didn’t really know there was a festival or a street party on in Edinburgh before we arrived in Scotland, but decided to get tickets right away when we found out.”
Ms Loperfiedo, 25, said: “We got here in time for the torchlight procession, which created a really good atmosphere, even though it was freezing. We are more prepared for the weather tonight!”
Omkar Desai, 29, originally from India but now living in Paisley, said: “I’ve been to Edinburgh a lot but really wanted to come here for Hogmanay to show my friends around as they’ve never been here before.
"The city has a very different vibe. It almost feels like an old Disney movie, it is all lit up for Christmas and the most important thing is that the people are so friendly here.

Hide Ad"I was in London for new year’s eve last year, but lots of friends of mine came to Edinburgh and really recommended it. The atmosphere has been great so far and it’s not even been raining.”
IT worker Rachel Kennedy, 22, who travelled with two friends from Kildare, Ireland, for the festivities, said: “We’re decided to book for the Silent Disco at the street party – it sounded like a fun way to really get the party started.
"The atmosphere has been great. There does seem to be more tourists than Scottish people, but everyone is in a good mood and really excited.”
Shae Tang, 25, and Joyce Zhang, 23, who are originally from China, travelled north to Edinburgh from Leeds, where they are both studying.
Ms Tang said: “The people here have been so nice, very friendly and easygoing. Everyone has been really helpful. The only problem has been that it’s so cold in Edinburgh!”
Newlyweds Zin Zia, 26, and Summer Zia, 29, travelled through from Glasgow for the night to take in the festivities.
He said: “Edinburgh is very well known as a hotspot to bring in the bells, with lots of fireworks. We don’t have tickets for the street party but we’re going to try to get as close as possible to the castle to see the fireworks.”

Hide AdSpanish visitor Xavi Hernandez, 58, said: “We have heard a lot in Spain about what it is like to spend Christmas and Hogmanay in Edinburgh and we’ve been enjoying the city too much already!
"The architecture and the ambience of the city have been really nice so far, but the main objective for us is to see the fireworks.”
Speaking after the event had drawn to a close at 1am, Unique and Assembly directors Al Thomson and Dani Rae said: “What a spectacular way to bring in 2024 and celebrate 30 years of Edinburgh’s Hogmanay. A perfect night of incredible music, energetic Ceilidh dancing, a rousing Auld Lang Syne, and one of the best firework displays ever seen from Edinburgh Castle. We’d like to thank everyone who joined the party and made it a special night for all involved. Here’s to the next 30 years.”
Council leader Cammy Day said: “Once again, Edinburgh’s Hogmanay celebrations have been a huge success and lived up to their world-renowned reputation.
“Seeing the fantastic fireworks display illuminate our capital city and ring in 2024 was a proud and joyous moment for myself and the 50,000 others who attended from far and wide. “We saw some fantastic events take place successfully, culminating in Pulp seeing us into 2024 with a performance for the ages.”
The Hogmanay festival, which began on Friday with a torchlight procession through the city centre, also included a Night Afore Disco Party in Princes Street Gardens on Saturday, featuring Bjorn Again and Fringe favourites Massaoke.
Edinburgh’s Hogmanay festival, which was valued at more than £48.5m for the economy last year, is expected to attract an overall audience of 85,000 over its four days.

As the eventful year of 2023 comes to an end, India welcomes 2024 with great fervour and joy. The past year proved significant for India on both the national and global fronts. The G-20 summit convened in the national capital, while Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the Moon's South Pole. As this remarkable year concludes, 2024 holds promising events for the nation. From the inauguration of Ayodhya's much-awaited Ram Temple to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the new year marks the beginning of a new chapter for India.

In Delhi, a New Year's aarti was performed at Jhandewalan Devi Temple, and huge crowds gathered at Connaught Place.
Similarly, Kamarajar Salai in Chennai saw a large turnout, and Mall Road in Shimla was filled with people welcoming the upcoming year. Notably, Kiribati, an island nation with 33 atolls, was the first place to bid farewell to 2023 and welcome 2024 as the International Date Line loops around its easternmost islands.
The International Date Line, established in 1884, plays a crucial role in marking the official start and end of each day worldwide. This imaginary line, located 180 degrees East or West, precisely sits halfway from the prime meridian in Greenwich, UK, defining time zones. (ANI)

ANAHEIM, CA – Ringing in the New Year with a California sweep.
Winger Warren Foegele produced a career-high five points on New Year's Eve as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Anaheim Ducks 7-2 at Honda Center to earn their fifth straight victory and head into 2024 on a high note.
Foegele's line with Leon Draisaitl (1G, 2A) and Ryan McLeod (1G, 1A) produced a combined 10 points in the victory, with McLeod recording his fifth goal in five games with the opening marker at 4:15 of the first period.
After Max Jones levelled for Anaheim, the Blue & Orange would go on to score four straight goals – including two from Foegele in a three-goal second period – to firmly take command over the Ducks and remain unbeaten (7-0-2) in their last nine visits to Honda Center.
Darnell Nurse provided two assists, and netminder Calvin Pickard made 28 saves on 30 shots.
The Oilers resume their schedule in 2024 on Tuesday when they host the Philadelphia Flyers at Rogers Place. | https://www.nhl.com/oilers/news/game-recap-oilers-7-ducks-2-12-31-23 | 2024-01-01T04:30:09Z |
WGS 2019: Astana Civil Service Hub discusses ways of improving government services
Speakers at the session were of the consensus that the government sector is lagging behind in future-readiness. "As governments, we are responsible for 7 billion people. We need to reinvent government in order to compete with the private sector," said UAE Minister of Cabinet Affairs and The Future and Chairman of the WGS Organisation Mohammed Abdullah Al Gergawi.
The private sector continuously reinvents itself and the services they provide as they know that if they don't progress, they will regress, and they will be out of business. That's why they strive to provide the best services to customers. The government and public sector have a tendency to think that customers will always need them. This poses a huge problem and has a big impact on the international community's ability to finance failed governments. "It's time for governments to reinvent their business model," Al Gergawi said.
Al Gergawi shared the UAE Government's experience of reinventing government work. "As a government, we are in the business of happiness; we decided to be happy and we wanted to do a good job to be happy and make people happier," Al Gergawi added. In order to achieve this objective, governments need to be proactive and harness technologies such as artificial intelligence to make this happen. The UAE created a ministry dedicated to artificial intelligence to serve citizens and residents.
Governments need to be proactive, Gergawi said. Before citizens need anything, governments should be ready to serve them. They possess all the data required to provide services like renewing their passport or driving license.
Alikhan Baimenov, Chairman of the Steering Committee of the ACSH, said in today's globalized world, the fast pace of technological advancements and digitalization of societies place immense demands on governance systems around the world. "Apparently, the expansion of technological innovation brings new opportunities, as well as new challenges," Baimenov said.
Concurrently, more than ever before, citizens are informed about solutions in other countries. They compare and assess the performance of their governments against certain benchmarks. "All this inevitably increases citizens' expectations and changes the very character of government-citizen relations, and eventually it can greatly impact the trust of citizens," Baimenov noted.
In this regard, governments around the world are constantly searching for effective solutions to advance all aspects of public service. This is especially significant for the countries of our region. Over the last three decades, they have come a long way with social, economic and political reforms," Baimenov added.
Each country in the region has followed its own unique path. "Although no "silver bullet" exists to enhance the governance system, exchanging ideas and sharing experiences can help governments find "best fit" solutions. Therefore, understanding their success and challenges, along with lessons learnt, is of great theoretical and practical importance," Baimenov added.
Dr. Pan Suk Kim, Former Minister of Personnel Management of the Republic of Korea and Professor of Public Administration, College of Government and Business, Yonsei University, said that with the move towards normalization, HR systems are different in the public and private sectors. "Normalisation means a process where public employment procedures and conditions gradually become more like those existing in the private sector," he said.
Dr. Kim said that there are two fundamental requirements for civil service reform - the basic legal foundation that includes a civil service law and related decrees, and the establishment of a central personnel authority, a separate ministry fully in charge of public personnel management.
In an interview with the Government of Dubai Media Office following the ACSH session, Alikhan Baimenov, Chairman of the Steering Committee of the Astana Civil Service Hub described the World Government Summit as a "leading knowledge and experience exchange platform."
"The Summit provides an opportunity for us to learn from countries in the region about their innovative solutions towards civil service. This is why we consider there to be similarities between the missions of the ACSH and the World Government Summit," he said.
"Centuries ago, countries in this region were leading in medicine, science, astronomy and mathematics. These kinds of innovation, as we see with modern-day technology, belong to the whole of humanity and should be shared with good leadership, political will and a high level of openness," Baimenov added.
Established in 2013, ACSH is a joint initiative of the Government of Kazakhstan and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). It serves as a multilateral platform for professional dialogue, and the exchange of experience and knowledge in civil service development. | https://en.inform.kz/news/wgs-2019-astana-civil-service-hub-discusses-ways-of-improving-government-services_a3497297/ | 2024-01-01T04:30:11Z |

WGS 2019: UAE to host first Astana Civil Service Hub Conference
Minister of Cabinet Affairs and The Future and Chairman of the WGS Organisation Mohammed Abdullah Al Gergawi, welcomed the hosting of the Forum in the region. He said this reflects the prominent position of the UAE on the international scene and the profile the WGS has gained globally as a platform for governments across the world to discuss how they can work to create a better life for their people by encouraging innovation and overcoming key challenges. Al Gergawi also highlighted the importance of the Forum against the backdrop of the transformation and socio-economic and political changes that have taken place in post-Soviet countries over the past three decades, which need to be addressed by innovative civil service approaches.
Al Gergawi said the Forum is one of the main platforms for sharing knowledge and expertise, building capabilities and learning about best practices in the domain of civil services. He added that hosting the Forum is in line with the directives of Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum who sees the WGS as an opportunity to improve people's lives.
Alikhan Baimenov, Chairman of the Steering Committee of the ACSH, thanked the organizing committee of the WGS and the UAE for hosting and supporting the event, and praised the role played by the Summit in fostering a dialogue on the future of government. "Technological advancements are putting pressure on governments to adopt initiatives to meet the expectations of their people. A platform like WGS greatly supports the efforts of governments by helping to assess the current situation and predict future trends," Alikhan said. "We are happy to be part of the WGS, as there it offers an opportunity to exchange ideas and find solutions for the challenges of our era. The outcomes of WGS can support the work of governments across the world."
A session at the Forum titled ‘Civil Service in the Post-Soviet Countries: Challenges, Prospects and Benchmarking', will see senior government officials, civil service practitioners and academics come together to review the progress made, and challenges faced in post-Soviet Union countries where civil services have transformed governance. The conference is scheduled for Day 2 of WGS 2019, which takes place at the Madinat Jumeirah from February 10 - 12, 2019.
The event will cover a range of topics including Global Trends and Benchmarking in Civil Service, Economic Breakthrough in Kazakhstan through the Prism of Administrative Reform, Creating a Top Management Service in Macedonia, Central Public Administration Reform in the Republic of Moldova, and Public Service Reforms and the Experience of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

WGS 2019: Wellbeing indicators should include state of the environment, community health, cultural and social ties
The three speakers expressed a consensus that governments need to look beyond GDP when it comes to gauging the positive development and happiness of their citizens. While GDP may be an indicator of how the economy is performing, it does not factor in the environmental, social and cultural factors.
"‘What makes you happy?' The answer will rarely be economy. Thriving social and personal relationships are a priority in driving citizen happiness," said Sophie Howe, Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, UK. She added that governments need to adopt a holistic approach to improving quality of life to prevent the world from becoming a disjointed and dystopian place.
Deliberating on the governments' role in enhancing the wellbeing of citizens, Dr Tony Burton, Deputy Chief Economic Advisor for the New Zealand Treasury, posed the question: "How can we change the way government operates in line with the private sector?"
He suggested that changes should not be limited to the budget, but should be applied across the government. Budgets should only be viewed as a small part of the major change that needs to take place. Treasuries need to ensure that financial systems and legislations do not serve as barriers and instead align with other governmental departments and sectors to offer better opportunities.
Dr Burton also pointed out that these decisions boil down to the people involved, and governments need to ensure that Cabinet committees include people who prioritize providing education and health opportunities to citizens. He applauded the efforts of Ohood Al Roumi, UAE Minister of State for Happiness and Wellbeing, in prioritizing the happiness and wellbeing of citizens. His talk concluded with an emphasis on coordinating departments and endeavors to improve their efficiency.
Another recurring theme of the discussion was the need to create a better world for future generations, especially with positivity levels dropping across the globe.
Economic and social theorist, and President of Positive Planet, Jacques Attali, said: "The global index of positivity is on the decline." He encouraged members of the audience to treat the upcoming generation as their children and invest in creating better opportunities for them, pointing out that this is a "cynic rationality" and a "selfish" approach, as the welfare of the future economy lies on the shoulders of the next generation. If the next generation fails, the future will be terrifying as the economy will collapse.
Howe echoed her fellow panelists' desire to create a framework for developing and measuring the performance of the government in enhancing the wellbeing of the community, in addition to the country's economic performance. She cited the example of Wales that implemented the Well-being of Future Generations Act to alert public bodies to their obligation to achieve wellbeing goals while observing the principles of sustainable development.
She further discussed the importance of kindness, and how performing little acts of kindness could go a long way in building a positive community. In closing, she reminded the audience that our aim is to change people's hearts and minds, as we often tend to forget that these contribute towards making the world a better place.
The three-day World Government Summit 2019 runs until February 12 at Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai. The landmark event has convened more than 4,000 participants from 140 countries, including heads of state and governments, as well as top-tier representatives of 30 international organizations. | https://en.inform.kz/news/wgs-2019-wellbeing-indicators-should-include-state-of-the-environment-community-health-cultural-and-social-ties_a3497077/ | 2024-01-01T04:30:19Z |

After Tristan Jarry picked up a shutout in Pittsburgh’s 7-0 win over the Islanders on Wednesday at UBS Arena, Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 36 of 37 shots against that same opponent in a terrific performance, leading Pittsburgh to a 3-1 victory on Sunday at PPG Paints Arena.
“Both those guys have been great,” Noel Acciari said. “Ned could’ve had a shutout tonight, he made huge saves, especially early on… Jars shutting these guys out right after Christmas and then following that up with a great game against St. Louis, it’s been great.”
Lars Eller scored twice and Acciari got the game-winner for the Penguins, who have won three in a row coming out of the holiday break, after a 4-2 win over the Blues on Saturday night. The Penguins now have points in eight of their last nine (7-1-1).
“I think it just feels like the whole team is getting a little more traction,” Eller said. “Our best players have been our best players all year, but we need everybody to chip in. Tonight, we chipped in with a couple of goals, and Ned was huge in net. So, that’s what we need. We need everybody to give something.”
Nedeljkovic was the star of the show in the first period of play, as the Islanders generated a number of quality chances. He came up with a breakaway stop just over two minutes in and played the puck right after, with the Penguins going the other way and Jansen Harkins earning his second assist in as many games on Eller’s first tally. Nedeljkovic was also lights out during a penalty kill, battling and coming up with save after save despite losing his helmet at one point.
After Nedeljkovic had a terrific first year in the NHL with Carolina during the 2020-21 campaign, being named a finalist for the Calder Trophy as the league’s top rookie, the last two seasons had been bumpy for the goaltender. After signing with Pittsburgh in the summer, Nedeljkovic said he wanted to “get my feet back underneath me, get some confidence again, and prove that I can play at this level.”
He's done just that, earning the Penguins points in his last six consecutive starts, going 5-0-1 since Dec. 4. Nedeljkovic has gone 7-2-1 this season, and as for what’s helped him succeed, the 27-year-old netminder said “just worrying about myself, not worrying about what I can’t control and worrying about the things I can control, like coming to the rink every day with a good attitude, a good mindset, working hard. Just trying to do the little things honestly, and then the rest kind of follows.”
Nedeljkovic was less busy in the second period, as the Penguins had momentum following an early power play that had carried over from the first. They had a ton of shots on that man-advantage, and shortly after the teams returned to 5-on-5 play, Acciari got his third of the year to put Pittsburgh up 2-0.
Both teams battled in the third, and the Islanders were able to get within one with 6:09 remaining. But Eller was able to seal the victory with an empty-netter.
“I give the players a lot of credit. I couldn't be more proud of them the last couple of nights here, just our compete level and how invested we are in trying to win,” Head Coach Mike Sullivan said. “And listen, we're playing some pretty good teams, so we're going to have to we're going to have to have this level of urgency night in and night out. I think a lot of it starts with just that commitment to some of these little things we're talking about that, in our mind, add up to win hockey games.” | https://www.nhl.com/penguins/news/penguins-end-2023-with-three-game-win-streak | 2024-01-01T04:30:23Z |

Injured Vikings QB Kirk Cousins and his four-year-old son go shirtless to pump up fans before crucial game with rival Packers in Minneapolis
- The chant typically ends with someone blowing into a massive Gjallarhorn
- Cousins went viral last year for celebrating a win vs. Washington without a shirt
- DailyMail.com provides all the latest international sports news
Kirk Cousins' affinity for going shirtless has clearly been inherited by his four-year-old son, Cooper.
The injured Minnesota quarterback led team fans in their customary 'Skol Vikings' chant before Sunday night's crucial matchup with the rival Green Bay Packers.
Cousins handled his solemn duties topless with the help of Cooper, who was also seen removing his own shirt before leading the crowd in a slow clap alongside his father.
Roughly translated from a number of Scandinavian languages to 'Cheers Vikings,' the chant typically ends with someone pretending to blow into a massive Gjallarhorn, a horn associated with the Norse god, Heimdallr.
And Cousins, wearing his customary gold chain sans shirt, played the part to the raucous approval of Vikings fans. To soccer fans, the spectacle is reminiscent of Iceland's ultimate Viking chant at Euro 2016 in France.
Unfortunately for Cousins' teammates, the chant didn't translate to the field, where the Packers cruised to a 33-10 win, effectively ending the Vikings' playoff hopes.

Cousins has been injured since late October, when he suffered a torn Achilles tendon 24-10 win over the Packers in Green Bay.
Journeyman quarterback Joshua Dobbs was brought in from Arizona and won his next two starts for the team before dropping two and being benched during a 3-0 win over the Raiders in Las Vegas on December 10.
Cousins first embraced shirtlessness last season, when his teammates gave him gold chains, which the bare-chested quarterback was seen wearing in a viral video of him dancing aboard the team flight following a 2022 win over his old former team -- the Washington Commanders.
The devout Christian and his wife Julie are parents to two boys: Cooper, four, and Turner, three.

With Cousins' future up in the air after this season, star receiving Justin Jefferson once again made his feelings about his quarterback be well known after losing to the Detroit Lions on Christmas Eve.
'I feel like I'm always voicing my opinion on Kirk,' Jefferson said. 'As much as people downgrade him and not want to give him his credit, I'm always the person that always gives him his credit. I'm always blessed and just accepting of the person that he was for me, the player that he was for me and this team just by being that leader and being that captain, controlling the game, controlling where the ball goes and making great throws. I think the rest of the world definitely realizes that at this very moment.'
Cousins was putting together another strong season before getting injured. He had 2,331 passing yards, 18 touchdowns and five interceptions. His 291.4 passing yards per game currently leads the league and his 103.8 quarterback rating is fourth.
Cousins is on a one-year, $35million contract with the Vikings that will expire in February. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-12915637/Injured-Vikings-QB-Kirk-Cousins-pumps-fans-Packers-shirtless.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-01-01T04:30:28Z |
‘We need tailor-made local yet out-of-the-box financial solutions for Thar’
Amir was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company and Thar Foundation in 2021. He has over 30 years of experience in Commercial and General Management roles across Pakistan, Australia, and Africa.
Amir has managed various global and local mega brands and led cross-functional teams to deliver business results.
In his prior roles, he has served as the Chief Executive Officer for Engro Agritrade, Chief Commercial Officer for Engro Fertilizer, and CEO and managing Director for Bayer Pakistan. He also served as the adjunct faculty at the Lahore School of Management Sciences (LUMS). Following are the edited excerpts of a recent conversation BR Research had with him:
BR Research: How much power is Thar producing today?
Amir Iqbal: Currently, the coal production capacity of SECMC’s mine in Thar Block II today is 7.6 million tonnes annually. We are producing 1320MW electricity, while Block 1 is also generating the same. These power plants are the most cost-efficient producers in the country due to the indigenous Thar coal, and hence remain one of the top ones on NEPRA’s merit order.
BRR: There are proposals of converting the imported coal plants to Thar coal. What is your take on it? Does the mine have the capacity to handle the conversion and the related cost?
AI: We took the lead last year to conduct these studies and found in desktop studies that these power plants require negligible additional investment if converted to 20 percent of Thar coal, and this conversion will require around~4 million tonnes more coal from Thar. This to me is a low-hanging fruit. Even in the case of 100 percent conversion, the return to investment is quick - although the investment increases. As far as the expansion of the mine is concerned, we are already expanding for Lucky Power where its 660MW unit on imported coal will be converted to Thar coal. We can produce approximately ~30 million tonnes from Block 2 and we have also started working on phase 4 of the mine, which is another expansion effort by us. The main auxiliary requirement for conversion to Thar coal is that of rail, which the government of Pakistan has taken up. In addition to that there is water requirement, which we can manage. We believe that once Thar rail infrastructure is developed, it will open Thar coal to the world.
BRR: You are operating Block 2 of Thar. Block 1 is with China. When will the next block be announced?
AI: The Sindh Government issues the licenses. To my understanding, another block has been issued the license to a company called Oracle. A big challenge nowadays is global coal financing; many global companies are no longer interested in financing and working on coal due to climate concerns whilst Pakistan’s credit market cannot take up such big projects. The government should work with the domestic banking sector and instruct banks to keep a part of their credit lines for Thar coal.
BRR: India is way ahead of Pakistan in coal production. We entered coal when others started leaving. Given the funding constraints, what potential of Thar coal can be exploited in the next 20-25 years?
AI: India coal production stands at 700MT of coal whereas Pakistan has recently touched 15MT coal production. China consumes 4000MT of coal. Germany, which is the largest proponent of green energy consumes 185MT of coal per year. So yes, Pakistan is 50 years late in the sector. However, the Government of Sindh has been able to build good infrastructure and created a good environment in Sindh and as pioneers, I am proud of that. What is needed to exploit Thar’s potential is that the government of Pakistan creates some kind of sovereign fund or instruments with the central bank to facilitate investment in Thar coal. Coal mining is a capital intensive and high-cost industry. Global financing is almost extinct now so public-private partnership is the way to go to get financing locally. We need tailor-made local yet out-of-the-box financial solutions for Thar.
BRR: As key Thar coal player, what opportunities do you see for Thar?
AI: There must be a focused push from the government to drive local coal. Currently, coal tariff is regulated, but there exists a huge opportunity for Thar coal in the non-IPP domain where we can take the risk of competing with international coal players. Not only in power generation, Thar coal can be used in cement manufacturing where coal is imported. Competing with the global coal players will put pressure on us to be more competitive, and if the cement manufacturers find us cost effective, they will get the coal from us. Changes in framework and regulation are also required to facilitate us in this diversification.
We must also realize that today, Thar at peak load is contributing to approximately ~10 percent of the energy sector, and it has a very positive effect. If this share is further increased to 15-20 percent, the main pain points today - electricity prices - will significantly be relieved; and, if we are facilitated like other key sectors with support from the SBP and the Ministry of Power for LCs, remittances, etc. we can expand much quicker. Today, the issues we are facing in our expansion project are the delays in equipment import.
BRR: How can you channelize local investment in Thar coal?
AI: Another major challenge for us after being in operations for almost 5 years is the liquidity stuck in the circular debt. This is around Rs60 billion, which is huge and has started to impact our cash flows. This is a critical issue for the energy sector, but it’s worse for us as we are at the end of the payment ladder.
BRR: What do you suggest that should be done to assuage your challenges?
AI: We believe that Thar should be dealt with separately because we are playing two roles. One, we are bringing down the price of the energy basket and second, we are saving foreign exchange. Thar should be dealt with priority in terms of clearing the circular debt and releasing imports because we present a strong business case. To mitigate our overdue situation, which is creating a major challenge for us, we request the Federal Government to make us a special one-time payment directly to clear the backlog and moving forward keep Thar base IPPs on priority.
Moreover, we cannot overemphasize the socio-economic potential of the project which generates 60 percent of local employment in Thar. The work done over the past 10 years has been phenomenal; ~5000 children are getting free education under our education plan – of which ~30 percent are girls. We have 24 school units and all the staff are local females. Not a single child between the age of 4-9 is out of school in Thar Block 2.
Exceptional work has also been done in empowering women of Thar. Women who used to only get out of their houses for water are now running dumper trucks, and working at RO and solar plants.
We have also done significant work on the health side as well, in collaboration with the Government of Sindh. During COVID, Thar had the highest vaccination rates and lowest number of cases. Today there are zero hepatitis and polio cases in Thar Block 2.
Thar coal would not have been possible without the support of federal government and the Government of Sindh, and we believe this is just the start of Thar potential. The sustainability and expansion of Thar coal won’t be possible without a strong commitment and support from the Government. | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40281467/interview-with-amir-iqbal-ceo-sindh-engro-coal-mining-company | 2024-01-01T04:30:28Z |
The Impact of Starlink in Luancheng, Luancheng
Luancheng, Luancheng is a small town located in the Hebei province of China. It is a town that has been struggling with poor internet connectivity for years. However, the recent launch of Starlink has brought a glimmer of hope to the residents of Luancheng.
Starlink is a satellite internet service provided by SpaceX, a company owned by Elon Musk. The service aims to provide high-speed internet to remote and rural areas that have limited or no access to traditional internet services. The service is delivered through a constellation of satellites that orbit the earth at a low altitude.
The impact of Starlink in Luancheng has been significant. The residents of the town have reported a significant improvement in their internet connectivity since the launch of Starlink. The service has provided them with a reliable and fast internet connection, which has made it easier for them to work, study, and communicate with the rest of the world.
One of the main benefits of Starlink is its low latency. Latency refers to the time it takes for data to travel from one point to another. Traditional satellite internet services have high latency, which makes it difficult to use services that require real-time communication, such as video conferencing and online gaming. However, Starlink has a latency of around 20 milliseconds, which is comparable to traditional broadband services.
The low latency of Starlink has made it easier for the residents of Luancheng to participate in online classes and meetings. It has also made it possible for them to enjoy online gaming and streaming services without any lag or buffering.
Another benefit of Starlink is its affordability. Traditional satellite internet services are often expensive, making them inaccessible to many people in rural areas. However, Starlink is priced competitively, making it accessible to a wider range of people.
The affordability of Starlink has made it possible for small businesses in Luancheng to expand their operations. Many businesses in the town have struggled to compete with their counterparts in urban areas due to poor internet connectivity. However, with the launch of Starlink, they now have access to a reliable and fast internet connection, which has made it easier for them to reach new customers and expand their operations.
The launch of Starlink has also had a positive impact on the education sector in Luancheng. Many schools in the town have struggled to provide their students with quality education due to poor internet connectivity. However, with the launch of Starlink, they now have access to a reliable and fast internet connection, which has made it easier for them to deliver online classes and provide their students with quality education.
In conclusion, the launch of Starlink has had a significant impact on the residents of Luancheng, Luancheng. The service has provided them with a reliable and fast internet connection, which has made it easier for them to work, study, and communicate with the rest of the world. The low latency and affordability of Starlink have made it accessible to a wider range of people, including small businesses and schools. The launch of Starlink has brought a glimmer of hope to a town that has been struggling with poor internet connectivity for years. | https://satprnews.com/2024/01/01/starlink-in-luancheng-luancheng/ | 2024-01-01T04:30:28Z |
First cats took over this prison. Then they stole its prisoners’ hearts
By Jack Nicas
Santiago: Some say they were first brought in to take out the rats. Others contend they wandered in on their own.
What everyone can agree on – including those who have lived or worked at Chile’s largest prison the longest – is that the cats were here first.
For decades, they have walked along the prison’s high walls, sunbathed on the metal roof and skittered between cells crowded with 10 men each. To prison officials, they were a peculiarity of sorts, and mostly ignored. The cats kept multiplying into the hundreds.
Then prison officials realised something else. The feline residents were not only good for the rat problem. They were also good for the prisoners.
“They’re our companions,” said Carlos Nuñez, a balding prisoner showing off a two-year-old tabby he named Feita, or Ugly, from behind prison bars. While caring for multiple cats during his 14-year sentence for home burglary, he said he discovered their special essence, compared with, say, a cellmate or even a dog.
“A cat makes you worry about it, feed it, take care of it, give it special attention,” he said. “When we were outside and free, we never did this. We discovered it in here.”
Known simply as “the Pen,” the 180-year-old main penitentiary in Santiago, Chile’s capital, has long been known as a place where men live in cages and cats roam free. What is now more clearly understood is the positive effect of the prison’s roughly 300 cats on the 5600 human residents.
The felines’ presence “has changed the inmates’ mood, has regulated their behaviour and has strengthened their sense of responsibility with their duties, especially caring for animals,” said the prison’s warden, Colonel Helen Leal González, who has two cats of her own at home, Reina and Dante, and a collection of cat figurines on her desk.
“Prisons are hostile places,” she added in her office, wearing a tight bun, truncheon and combat boots. “So of course, when you see there’s an animal giving affection and generating these positive feelings, it logically causes a change in behaviour, a change in mindset.”
Prisoners informally adopt the cats, work together to care for them, share their food and beds and, in some cases, have built them little houses. In return, the cats provide something invaluable in a lock-up notorious for overcrowding and squalid conditions: love, affection and acceptance.
“Sometimes you’ll be depressed and it’s like she senses that you’re a bit down,” said Reinaldo Rodriguez, 48, who is scheduled to be imprisoned until 2031 on a firearms conviction. “She comes and glues herself to you. She’ll touch her face to yours.”
The pairing of convicted criminals and animals is hardly new. During World War II, German prisoners of war in New Hampshire adopted wildlife as pets, including, according to one account, a bear cub.
Formal programs to connect prisoners and animals became more common in the late 1970s, and after consistently positive results, they have expanded worldwide, including to Japan, the Netherlands and Brazil.
They have become particularly popular in the United States. In Arizona, prisoners train wild horses to patrol the US border with Mexico. In Minnesota and Michigan, prisoners train dogs for the blind and deaf. And in Massachusetts, prisoners help care for wounded or sick wildlife, including hawks, coyotes and raccoons.
“You dedicate yourself to the cat. You tend to it, keep an eye on it, give it love.”
Denys Carmona Rojas, prisoner
Connecting prisoners and dogs has repeatedly been shown to lead to “a decrease in recidivism, improved empathy, improved social skills and a safer and more positive relationship between inmates and prison officials,” said Beatriz Villafaina-Domínguez, a researcher in Spain who reviewed 20 separate studies of such programs.
Dogs have been the most common animal used by prisons, followed by horses, and in most programs, animals are brought to the prisoners, or vice versa. In Chile, however, the prisoners developed an organic connection to the stray cats who live alongside them.
Yet there was a time when the relationship was not so positive. A decade ago, the cat population was expanding uncontrolled and many cats were getting sick, including developing a contagious infection that left some cats blind. The situation “even stressed out the inmates themselves,” said Carla Contreras Sandoval, a prison social worker with two cat tattoos.
So in 2016, prison officials finally allowed volunteers to come care for the cats. A Chilean organisation called the Felinnos Foundation has since worked with Humane Society International to systematically collect all of the cats to treat, spay and neuter them. They have now reached nearly every one.
The program’s success has been partly thanks to the prisoners, Sandoval said. The prisoners collect cats that need care and bring them to the volunteers.
On a recent day, four women lugged cat carriers onto the prison grounds, on the hunt for a number of felines, including Lucky, Aquila, Dropón and her six new kittens, and Nuñez’s cat, Ugly.
The courtyard was chaotic, packed for a prisoner soccer match, but prisoners politely made way for the women.
Quickly, men cradling cats in tattooed arms came bounding down stairs along the courtyard, handing animals through prison bars to the volunteers. In one stop, Denys Carmona Rojas, 57, a prisoner serving eight years on gun charges, doted on a litter of kittens in a box. He said he had helped raise many kittens in his cell, recounting one case in which he fed special milk to a litter after the mother died during birth.
“You dedicate yourself to the cat. You tend to it, keep an eye on it, give it love,” he said, smiling to show off missing front teeth. “The feeling that comes out of that – there’s nothing bad about it, man.”

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

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

Love went 14-of-21 for 180 yards and had three total touchdowns in the first half.
The Vikings benched Hall for Mullens in the second half, though that wasn't much better. He did lead the Vikings down into the red zone on his opening drive of the third quarter, but the Packers stopped them on fourth down and took over.
Love then mounted an eight-minute drive and hit a wide-open Bo Melton in the end zone, which put the Packers up 30-3. From there, the Vikings were way too far out of it. Green Bay held on to grab the 23-point win, which brought them back to .500 on the season.
Mullens went 13-of-22 for 113 yards and had a touchdown in the second half for the Vikings. Ty Chandler had 40 rushing yards on 10 carries, and Justin Jefferson led the team with 46 yards on three catches. The Vikings’ lone touchdown of the day came after Najee Thompson recovered a botched punt return to start the fourth quarter, which set up a 6-yard score to Johnny Mundt.
Love finished throwing 24-of-33 for 256 yards with three touchdowns. Aaron Jones had 121 rushing yards on 20 carries, and Melton had 105 yards on six catches. Reed had 89 receiving yards with his two touchdowns, but he was ruled out in the second half with a chest injury.
Packers need to beat Bears
Though the Detroit Lions have already won the NFC North, the Packers’ playoff hopes are still alive after Sunday night’s win. They now just have to beat the Chicago Bears next weekend at Lambeau Field to earn a wild-card spot, which would bring them back into the postseason for the fourth time in the last five seasons.
The Vikings weren’t eliminated from playoff contention, but their path to the postseason won’t be easy. They’ll have to beat the Lions, and then both the Packers and the Seahawks have to lose, and then either the Buccaneers or Saints have to lose, too.
The Bears have all-but been eliminated from the playoffs already. Everything would have to go right for them next week in order to make it in. They are, however, on a bit of a hot streak. The Bears have won four of their last five games, and are fresh off a dominant 37-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The only loss in that stretch was to the Cleveland Browns, where they fell by three points after a botched Hail Mary.
The Packers will enter that contest in Green Bay on a two-game win streak. While last week’s three-point win over the lowly Carolina Panthers likely didn’t do much to reassure fans, Sunday night’s dominant showing should certainly help. If the Packers lose, that opens the door for either the Seahawks or the Saints to sneak into the postseason.
Regardless, the Packers did what they needed to. They won't have to rely on anybody else. | https://www.powerorlando.com/news/national/jordan-love-packers/KUHQC24IIWZBTPXQOWZFDFXOMQ/ | 2024-01-01T04:30:29Z |
DETROIT – In a back-and-forth affair between Atlantic Division rivals, the Boston Bruins outlasted the Detroit Red Wings, 5-3, before a sellout crowd in the annual New Year’s Eve game at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday evening.
With the win, Boston improved its season record to 22-7-6 (50 points). The Red Wings ended the 2023 calendar year with a 17-16-4 mark (38 points). The season series between the Bruins and Red Wings is now knotted at 2-2, with all four games decided in regulation.
Boston goalie Jeremy Swayman earned the win, stopping 27 of the 30 shots he faced. Red Wings netminder Alex Lyon recorded 15 saves in the losing effort, and seemed to avoid injury after Boston’s first goal in the opening period.
The first period featured chippy play from the opening horn, and a combined seven penalties. The Red Wings earned a pair of power plays but were unable to convert. Boston’s Trent Frederic scored his eighth goal of the season with just 51.8 seconds remaining after an opportunistic pass up the right side of the ice by David Pastrnak.
Frederic’s backhanded shot beat Lyon, followed by a collision adjacent to the goal. Lyon remained in the game after falling to the ice and being tended to by the Red Wings’ training staff. The Bruins out-shot Detroit in the opening period, 8-5.
Frederic scored again less than five minutes (4:25) into the second period to give Boston a 2-0 lead. His uncontested shot from just outside the right faceoff circle beat Lyon. | https://www.nhl.com/redwings/news/recap-bruins-outlast-red-wings-in-new-year-s-eve-battle-5-3 | 2024-01-01T04:30:29Z |
A devastating car accident occurred early Saturday on the Cha-am – Pranburi bypass road, tragically resulting in one fatality and leaving two injured.
A white Alphard van, carrying Chinese tourists, lost control at kilometer marker 5+900 on the inbound lane towards Bangkok and crashed into a tree, immediately bursting into flames.
Police Lieutenant Colonel Kanjanakla Phiriyadechawatcharawong, an investigator at Cha-am Police Station, was alerted to the incident. The Cha-am municipal fire brigade, Sawang Sarraphat Rescue Team, and emergency medical personnel from Cha-am Hospital were swiftly dispatched to the scene for assistance.
Upon arrival, responders discovered the van engulfed in flames. The force of the collision with the large roadside tree had caused extensive damage to the vehicle.
Tragically, a person believed to be in their mid-twenties to early thirties was trapped inside and perished at the site. The identity of the deceased, presumed to be the Thai driver, could not be confirmed due to the extent of the injuries and the fire.
In addition to the fatality, two other passengers sustained significant injuries. A young Chinese woman, estimated to be between 20-25 years old, suffered a broken left leg. Likewise, a 29-year-old Chinese man endured a similar injury. Both were promptly transported to the hospital for treatment.
The identities of the injured are confirmed to be Chinese tourists. The body of the deceased has been taken to Cha-am Hospital for further investigation and formal identification. Authorities are currently examining the circumstances surrounding the accident, with the cause still under investigation. | https://www.huahintoday.com/local-news/car-crash-on-bypass-road-in-cha-am-claims-one-life-injures-two/ | 2024-01-01T04:30:30Z |
(NEXSTAR) — Have you beat the odds to win the record-setting $785 million Powerball jackpot? There’s only one way to find out.
The winning numbers drawn on Monday, September 25 were: 10, 12, 22, 36, 50, and red Powerball 4. The Power Play is 2X.
Powerball officials estimated the jackpot to be $785 million ahead of the drawing, putting it as the fourth-largest jackpot in the game’s history. By the time the drawing was held, the jackpot had climbed to $793.6 million.
Despite its growth, the jackpot still comes in behind a $2.04 billion jackpot hit last November in California; a $1.586 billion jackpot split by three tickets (California, Florida, Tennessee) in 2016; and a $1.08 billion jackpot won by a California ticket in July.
A potential winner in Monday’s drawing would also land one of the largest lottery jackpots in U.S. history. After the jackpot rolled again over the weekend, it edged out a $768.4 million Powerball won in Wisconsin four years ago:
- $2.04 billion (Powerball): Nov. 7, 2022; California
- $1.602 billion (Mega Millions): Aug. 15, 2023; Florida
- $1.586 billion (Powerball): Jan. 13, 2016; California, Florida, Tennessee
- $1.537 billion (Mega Millions): Oct. 23, 2018; South Carolina
- $1.348 billion (Mega Millions): Jan. 13, 2023; Maine
- $1.337 billion (Mega Millions): July 29, 2022; Illinois
- $1.08 billion (Powerball): July 19, 2023; California
- $1.050 billion (Mega Millions): Jan. 22, 2021; Michigan
- $785 million (Est. Powerball): Sept. 25, 2023
- $768.4 million (Powerball): March 27, 2019; Wisconsin
- $758.7 million (Powerball): Aug. 23, 2017; Massachusetts
It could also become the largest Powerball jackpot won in nearly any state. In all but three — California, Florida, and Tennessee — the largest jackpot ever won is below $768 million.
If there is no winner in Monday’s drawing, the jackpot would need to surpass $1 billion to climb any higher in the record books.
Jackpot winners have two options to receive their prize: an annuitized payout of gradually increasing payments over 29 years or as a lump sum, which was estimated at $367 million before the drawing.
Powerball tickets are $2 each and sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. You have a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the Powerball jackpot and a 1 in 24.9 chance of winning any Powerball prize.
Meanwhile, the $1.08 billion jackpot hit this summer remains unclaimed as does the record-setting $1.602 billion Mega Millions jackpot hit in Florida last month. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/winning-powerball-numbers-drawn-for-785-million-jackpot/ | 2024-01-01T04:30:29Z |

Olympians pay tribute to 'beautiful soul' Melissa Dennis née Hoskins following her tragic death in Adelaide
- The 32-year-old mother of two died on Saturday
- Was allegedly struck by a ute in Adelaide
- Husband Rohan Dennis has been charged
Melissa Dennis is being remembered as a popular and talented competitor with a beautiful soul as Australian cycling reels from her tragic death in Adelaide after she was struck by a ute on Saturday night.
Olympic gold medallist Anna Meares paid tribute to Dennis on Monday morning, while AusCycling also released a statement.
The 32-year-old mother of two died in hospital after she was struck on Saturday night in Adelaide's inner north.
Multiple media outlets are reporting that the 33-year-old man arrested by police and charged over Dennis' death is her husband Rohan, an Olympic cycling medallist and former world champion who retired from competition in 2023.
He is charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care and endangering life, and was bailed to appear in court in March.
SA Police have scheduled a media conference for Monday morning in Adelaide.
Dennis competed as Melissa Hoskins, but used her married name on Facebook.
Olympic gold medal winner and current Olympic Chef de Mission Anna Meares has paid tribute to Melissa Hoskins
She competed at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics on the track in the team pursuit and was in the squad that won the 2015 world title in the event.
That world title made Australia one of the gold medal contenders at the 2016 Rio Games, but a training crash days before qualifying cruelled their chances.
Hoskins was among the cyclists injured in the pile-up and after riding in the qualifying round, she was forced to sit out the rest of the event as Australia finished fifth.
Hoskins and Meares were members of the track cycling team at the London and Rio Games.
'I have a very heavy heart,' Meares said in a statement provided to News Corp.
'My thoughts are with their children, family and fellow friends.
'This is a very difficult and tragic time for us all.'
Three-time world champion Annette Edmondson also paid tribute to her good friend and former Australian teammate.
'She had an amazing smile and an infectious laugh,' Edmondson told News Corp.
'She was just full of energy and absolutely hilarious. She was the most incredible dancer as well if you caught her.
'I had the privilege of riding and racing and training with her for eight years from junior worlds until 2016 at the Rio Olympics and we had some pretty amazing moments along the way with a world record and a world title together (in 2015).
'I think that moment standing on the podium sharing that and signing the national anthem was one of the best moments of my life and I will never forget that.
'It is just an absolute tragedy to lose such a beautiful soul who just adored her family and just loved those kids,' she said.
'Yeah just sending all my love in the world to her family and friends and those she loved.'

The sport of cycling and wider community is in mourning after the shock death of Hoskins
AusCycling chief executive Marne Fechner also spoke of the sport's shock and sorrow.
'Melissa described her team pursuit gold medal at the 2015 world championships as the highlight of her career, but for the rest of us, the highlight was just having her around,' Fechner said.
'Although she retired in 2017, her presence as an alumnus of the sport has been felt and appreciated by many in the cycling and riding community.'
Her former team, now called Jayco AlUla, wrote, 'We are devastated to learn of the passing of former GreenEDGE Cycling rider Melissa Dennis nee Hoskins.'
'Our thoughts are with her family and friends and the whole cycling community at this deeply saddening time. She will never be forgotten. RIP Mel.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-12915687/Olympians-pay-tribute-beautiful-soul-Melissa-Dennis-n-e-Hoskins-following-tragic-death-Adelaide.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-01-01T04:30:34Z |
Kitsch! Camp! Schmaltz! Schlock's! Person of the Year
Late Stage Bimbo, Icon, Everything: Jennifer Coolidge
You can't camp about something you don't take seriously. You're not making fun of it, you're making fun out of it. You're expressing what’s basically serious to you in terms of fun and artifice and elegance. Baroque art is basically camp about religion. The ballet is camp about love…
Christopher Isherwood, The World in the Evening
I actually started this newsletter because I wanted to publish an ode to Jennifer Coolidge. To be clear — I’ve been wanting to do this way before the White Lotus fame, way before actual Time Magazine selected the star as one of the most influential people of the year, before PETA named her their 2023 Vegan Queen. When the internet started celebrating the Fourth of July with “makes me want a hot dog real bad” memes, I thought: do not cite the deep magic to me, witch. For I was there when it was written.
I’ve loved Coolidge since I was younger than however old Sydney Sweeney is supposed to be in White Lotus. I’ve loved her since American Pie, actually, a terrible film my friends in high school made me to sneak into the theatre to see repeatedly. I’m not shocked, but I’m little annoyed, to learn that “Stiffler’s Mom” in that film — a woman who is supposed to be old but, amazingly, still hot! Can you even believe! — was younger when the movie was filmed than I am now.
Coolidge’s career is almost entirely comprised of bimbo roles, often ones that suggest her sexual viability and stereotypical beauty are especially hilarious because she is “old.” In my personal filmography of the actress, American Pie was followed up by her performance as Sherri Ann Cabot, the wife of a nearly dead Patrick Cranshaw in Best in Show. Coolidge’s Sherri is surprisingly straight, with timing and poise that convey the performer’s background as a graduate of the American Academy of the Dramatic Arts. In my memory of Best in Show, Coolidge plays a vapid, gold digging beauty. On rewatching, however, I can see the performer’s original wish to be the next Meryl Streep. Coolidge isn’t the bimbo in this movie — the world around her is.
In her next (and prior to White Lotus) most iconic role as Paulette Bonafonté Parcelle in Legally Blonde, Coolidge makes two choices that resonate throughout the rest of her career.
1.) She does indeed fully embody the bimbo archetype with her squeaky Jersey voice, Monroe wide-eyed stares, and klutziness.
But!
2.) She radicalizes the bimbo trope by refusing to play Paulette as though she does not have an interior.
Her portrayal of Elle Wood’s hairdresser/manicurist/best friend shows a profound vulnerability and, at points, aching sadness in response to her belittling ex and growing sense that she’s too old not so much to be desirable, but to be loved. It’s the oldest theme in the novel of manners — Edith Wharton’s Lily Bart or Jane Austin’s Anne Elliott. As my algorithm insisted on telling me again and again around my birthday earlier this year: Miss Havisham was only forty. So, my age.
Mike White’s vision for the character of Tanya McQuoid (a part the writer/director wrote specifically for Coolidge and then had to cajole her into accepting) is a crystallization of Coolidge’s unique affectual mix of stupidity and vulnerability. In an attempt to write something about why not just I, but everybody, fell so hard for this performance I started researching the function and possibilities of Camp aesthetics. It seemed to me — and still seems — Coolidge’s outsized, hyper stylized blend of cartoon and raw emotional core personify the very idea of Camp.
This led me to the above Isherwood quote which begins Susan Sontag’s foundational essay, “Notes on Camp.” If, as Isherwood suggests, the ballet is Camp about love, then I wonder if Coolidge is Camp about Feminism. “You can’t Camp about something you don’t take seriously,” Isherwood notes. It strikes me that for her entire career, Coolidge has taken the objectification and marginalization — specifically age-related marginalization — very seriously indeed.
What I love most about her is that her bimbofication dialogues with these ideas at the same time that is absolutely refuses to be diminished by them. In direct contrast to trends toward the dissociative feminist as seen in characters like Fleabag or Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation narrator (sorry — that’s an awkward sentence to write because both those characters are so untethered they don’t even have names), Coolidge chooses to show her pain, grief, humiliations, and hope.
The term “dissociative feminist” was coined by Emmeline Clein in a 2019 article for Buzzfeed News, “The Smartest Women I Know Are All Dissociating.” If you’d like to know about this from a more academic perspective than I’m offering here, check out “To Feel or Not to Feel: Dissociative Feminism and Modalities of Unfeeling in 21st-Century Literary Fiction” by Cleo Miki. Miki defines the dissociative feminist trope as marking:
“A new affective tone which shifts from the declarative protestations of ‘girlboss feminists’ to detached, flat descriptions of ‘overtly horrifying facts’ which comprise the everyday existence of women today. Abuse, depression, and burnout are all treated with a ‘so what?’ attitude. In addition to a generally marked dispassion, many argue that this emerging archetype ‘glamorizes her own destruction’ to the point that she knowingly engages in self-interested, fatalistic behaviors, only to scoff in the face of the subsequent fallout. The dissociative feminist deems emotional reactivity trite; she is ‘aware that ‘woundedness’ is overdone and overrated.”
While much of the comedy of Coolidge’s characters comes from her lack of awareness of her surroundings, much of the emotional core of her performances comes from that same source — the deep, highly self-focused belief that her feelings and pain matter. Leslie Jamison comments on the shift toward dissociative feminism, observing that is a
“performance of a ‘post-wounded’ affect: an affective treatment which neutralizes dramatic or otherwise anguished reactions to pain. Rather than indulge in melodrama, dissociative feminists lean into their own awareness of hurt and elect to ‘stay numb or clever instead.”
I think that right there is the key to understanding the way Coolidge has harnessed the Camp aesthetic — she indulges in the melodrama and refuses to be numb or clever. Again and again, we see her characters choose to present themselves fully in an attempt to be seen and understood.
Maybe she plays dumb, but she knows something many brilliant people never learn: to really be loved is to really be known. And I love how loudly, generously, and stylishly she lets us know her.
I wonder if this capacity is especially profound for my generation — the Miss Havishams of the world. Women who grew up with Daria Morgendorffer and Jenny McCarthy as twin poles of two very different forms of dissociation. The conditioning that came from these “role models” left me, personally, totally unequipped to handle failure or rejection. It was not supposed to happen to women “like me” (whatever the hell that is supposed to mean—educated?) and if I did — what if that meant I wasn’t a woman “like me” anymore?
On The Daily’s December 15th episode, “The Year of Taylor Swift,” Taffy Brodesser-Akner analyzes Time Magazine’s actual person of the year, Taylor Swift, by arguing that the artist’s’ success is due to her ability to internalize pain and failure only to later express it through her music. Brodesser-Akner suggests Swift’s success lies not so much in her relatability, but in the idea that if even someone “like her” can be humiliated, lied to, and most famously, broken up with, then maybe it can happen to anybody. And maybe it’s okay. Maybe you still get to be you after.
Arguably, the hallmark of my generation is the way it has been shaped by systemic failure. (Think infuriating suggestions about Millenials not being able to afford homes because they bought too much avocado toast.) If you’re reading this, you probably know that suggestion isn’t just stupid — it’s a violence that flagrantly ignores many much realer factors: the wealth hoarding of previous generations; shifts to a gig economy and its wealth adverse 1099 tax forms; the financial crash of 2008; predatory student loan debt; the pandemic; and the subsequent housing crisis.
What I am trying to say here is that this is a generation that has experience systemic and largely unexpressed pain. There is no national monument for people who graduated the year the economy collapsed. And there is certainly no memorium for the millions of people whose lives have been permanently mutilated by student loan debt. On the contrary — we live in a country that fights to keep these people ashamed, and silent.
Re-enter Jennifer Coolidge, who, to use a Taylor Swift lyric, is the loudest and most shameless woman this town has ever seen. I’m selecting her as Camp! Kitsch! Schmaltz! Schlock’s! Camp Person of the Year for the obvious reason that she is fabulous. But more so — for the less obvious reason that her highly stylized and yet utterly penetrable, totally vulnerable, and radically raw aesthetic is what the moment calls for.
In moments of pain, Coolidge calls it for what it is. Then she moves on, ever hopeful.
My Camp rec for the week is: Coolidge’s 2023 Golden Globes acceptance speech.
Here’s the transcript:
“Thank you, thank you so much, wow, and thank you, Hollywood Foreign Press. It really means a lot. Thank you. Wow. I can put this down, right? I don’t work out, you know what I mean — I can’t hold it that long. But, you know, this is such a great night. I’m so glad to be here and be in the company of all of you. Hollywood Foreign Press, thank you. I just want to say, some of the people in this room, there were like five people that kept me going for, you know, 20 years with these little jobs. And Ryan Murphy, you were one of them. It’s these little jobs that kept me going, it was like five — it was like you, Ryan, and, let’s see, we got — who else was there. It was … just you, Ryan.
[Laughter] No, but, I mean — I didn’t know anybody, and it just was sort of this thing that wasn’t going anywhere. Then there were these people who would give me these cute little jobs and it would just be enough to get to the next one. Michael Patrick King, you kept me going for a long time, and Reese [Witherspoon], you got me in Legally Blonde. And then the Weiss brothers would keep me going because some of these would go like five different episodes, and five different sequels of American Pie. I’ve milked that to death. I’m still going for six or seven, whatever they want.
But I just want to say, I hope my agent at UTA and Tiffany [Kuzon], you all forgive me because the hook came out at the last thing I got an award at, this giant hook, and I thought it left when vaudeville ended, and this hook came and took me off the stage at the Emmys. And I didn’t get to say what I really wanted to say at the Emmys, which is Mike White … I just — truly, I just want you all to know that I had such big dreams and expectations as a younger person, but what happened is they get sort of fizzled by life and whatever. I thought I was going to be Queen of Monaco even though someone else did it. [Laughter] But I had these giant ideas. And then you get older and, oh, shit’s going to happen. And, Mike White, you have given me hope. You’ve given me a new beginning. Even if this is the end, because you did kill me off, but even if this is the end, you changed my life in a million different ways. My neighbors are speaking to me and things like that. I was never invited to one party on my hill, and now everyone’s inviting me! I just — you know, it’s to you, Mike White.
This is something all of you, if you don’t know Mike White, this is what you should know: He is worried about the world, he’s worried about people, he’s worried about friends of his that aren’t doing well, he’s always worried about people, you’re worried about animals, and he really is one of the greatest people I’ve ever … He gives me so much excitement to be — you make people want to live longer, and I didn’t. [Laughter]
So anyway, I just want to say, Mike White, I love you to death. I just want to say, this is a real fun night, thank you. Thank you!”

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

From Russia and Ukraine still engaged in war, to Israel’s onslaught in Gaza, from big shipping companies refusing to sail through the Red Sea and from unprecedented production cuts from the Opec Plus alliance – 2023 was quite an eventful year for the international crude oil market. Despite all that, crude oil averaged 10 percent lower in 2023 from a year ago – the first annual drop since the Covid-induced bear market of 2020.
A large number of events that had all the potential to carry and sustain a bull run failed to do so in the recent past. For every punch that the bulls threw, a counter punch was ready from the bears as the see-saw went on throughout the year.
The most recent example is the Red Sea episode – where unrest and attacks on vessels forced global shipping giants to withdraw from the all-important route and take the longer and costlier route instead. The prices reacted for a few days but could not sustain longer as the US announced active patrolling of the seas to counter the attacks on vessels. Consider that the Red Sea route is still being seen as too dangerous for most big global shipping companies, although a leading one agreed to start using the route again – with an option to reassess the situation if need be.
It just took the deployment of US forces to guard the seas for oil prices to taper off, despite no change in status of vessel movement since the decision by shipping companies. What has fueled more fire to the bears is more disruption in the Opec cartel – after the latest round of agreed production cuts. Angola, the second largest African oil producer exited the cartel, unhappy over renewed production quota. This was seen coming – as the differences have been brewing since June 2023.
Angola’s exit seems to be the balancing factor for the Red Sea standstill – despite the overall impact on Opec’s production cut targets being minimal. Some observers have warned against overestimating the Angola exit impact on oil and use it as the basis for sluggish prices into 2024 – because the supply and demand dynamics for much of 1HCY24 still point out at an unbalanced crude oil market.
The US rig count has not increased at rates seen pre-Covid. The latest crude oil inventory data shows the pile is down 6 percent over the previous week – yet crude oil market saw more reason for prices to consolidate on Opec’s small troubles. Saudi Arabia and China will continue to call the shots in 2024 for supply and demand, respectively.
The US production is at an all-time high and scaling up from here, after years of substantial underinvestment seems highly unlikely. With the monetary cycles around the world gradually turning towards easing, 2024 could well be the year of a double-digit rise in global crude oil demand. With years of underinvestment in drilling, fracking, and storage – this is a perfect recipe for oil to resist any further movement south. But then, funnier things have happened in oil markets, in less than a month, ever since the 2008 crisis. | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40281468/will-oil-fare-better-in-2024 | 2024-01-01T04:30:35Z |
Tage Thompson scored for the Buffalo Sabres in a 5-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators inside Canadian Tire Centre on Sunday.
Buffalo held a 46-31 edge in shots but were unable to get anything else by Ottawa goaltender Anton Forsberg, who finished with 45 saves.
Jakob Chychrun, Zack Macewen, Dominik Kubalik, Mark Kastelic, and Artem Zub scored goals for the Senators.
Sabres goaltender Devon Levi stopped 26 of 30 shots faced.

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

Any good vibes Carolina enjoyed last week in an upset win while Bryce Young put up career-best passing numbers were quickly wiped away this week. Even if Jacksonville’s offense struggled to move the ball, the Panthers just went nowhere on their side. They officially sent the No. 1 overall pick to the Chicago Bears with Sunday’s result.
The Jaguars were able to get a big play out of the run game with Travis Etienne Jr. on a 62-yard touchdown scamper. That was a welcome sign for a team that’s struggled to run the ball for months. The run blocking has been a mess at times but much like the issues in the passing game, you can chalk up most of the issues to overall design. Etienne got out in space on this run, where he’s at his best. There just hasn’t been enough of that this season.

At least he closed things out for his fantasy managers. His fantasy numbers have mostly been a mirage and not even close to indicative of the health of Jacksonville’s run game. Nevertheless, he rewarded gamers with a hammer shot in Week 17.
Given the matchup, I just struggle to put much stock into a new wrinkle like this. It would be great to see more of this from Jacksonville as they head into a postseason push. So, do it again. Go out and run on the Titans, who so often sell out to stop ground games, in Week 18. Make a statement before heading into the NFL playoffs — because doing it to the Panthers just doesn’t move the needle. | https://www.powerorlando.com/news/national/week-17-caredont/IAYA5UFITTPDTEUBAQLNHTCPTE/ | 2024-01-01T04:30:36Z |
It has become a tradition. As the sunsets on the last day of the year, scores of people will head to Hua Hin beach to watch the New Year’s Eve fireworks.
This year, like many before, the shores of Hua Hin will light up with a dazzling array of fireworks, making any beach location an ideal viewing spot. The festivities are likely to begin as darkness falls and continue well past midnight, ensuring a night filled with colour and excitement.
The centerpiece of the evening’s celebrations will be the fireworks display at the Intercontinental Hotel, scheduled to start at 10 PM.
However, many hotels along the Hua Hin beachfront, extending to Khao Takiab, will host their own fireworks displays at various times throughout the night.
Therefore, if you head to the beach, you are likely to see fireworks frequently throughout the night.
Another good option is the Saphan Pla Night Market at Hua Hin Fishing Pier, which offers great views right long the coast. This opens from 5pm.
Additionally, Hua Hin Market Village is hosting its major countdown event, featuring live music from well known artists, food and drinks.
Wherever you go, expect crowds, traffic and noise. Have fun, but stay safe.

He also discussed the conditions of the shelter homes with officials and later draped blankets around disabled persons.
The Chief Minister was accompanied by Rajasthan BJP Organisation General Secretary Chandrashekhar. Meanwhile, the city of Udaipur in Rajasthan witnessed lavish celebrations as people welcomed the new year with celebrations, light shows, and dance performances.
Similarly, residents of Ajmer also welcomed the year 2024 with great fervour and joy amid fireworks, light shows, and dance performances. Earlier, on New Year's Eve, CM Bhajanlal Sharma held a Janta Darshan in Jaipur, where he listened to the problems of the people of the state.
BJP MLA from Sanganer, Bhajanlal Sharma, took the oath as the Chief Minister of Rajasthan on December 15, 2023, at a swearing-in ceremony in Jaipur. He won the Sanganer assembly seat by an impressive margin, securing 145,162 votes against his Indian National Congress (INC) opponent, Pushpendra Bhardwaj, who polled 97,081 votes.

TAIPEI: Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen expressed hopes on Monday for Taipei and
Beijing to seek "long-term peaceful coexistence" and said future
relations should be decided by Taiwan's "democratic procedures".
Taiwan is less than two weeks from an election, closely watched from Beijing to Washington as it determines the future of the self-ruled island's relations with an increasingly bellicose China.
Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory to be seized one day.
It has halted high-level communications with Tsai's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government since her 2016 election, and ramped up military, diplomatic and economic pressure on the island.
In her last New Year speech before leaving office in May, Tsai expressed hopes to restart communications with Beijing.
"We hope that the two sides (of the Taiwan Strait) will resume healthy and sustainable exchanges as soon as possible," she said.
"We also hope that the two sides will jointly seek a long-term and stable way of peaceful coexistence under peace, parity, democracy and dialogue."
But Tsai -- whom Beijing hates as she has refused to acknowledge China's territorial claims -- also stood firm on Taiwan's need to defend its democracy.
"Facing the renewed conflict between democracy, freedom and authoritarianism around the world, Taiwan's only choice in the future is still to continue to uphold democracy and protect peace."
Tsai was also asked to comment on Chinese President Xi Jinping's New Year's Eve speech, in which he said Taiwan "will surely be reunified" with China.
"Decisions must be made with the common will of the Taiwanese people. We are a democratic country after all," she told reporters after her speech.
"What kind of relationship we will form with China in the future must be determined by our democratic procedures to make the final decision."
Xi has previously said China would never rule out the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control.
Tsai's ruling DPP has largely campaigned on a platform of sovereignty separate from China, and their candidate, Vice President Lai Ching-te, has in past described himself as a "pragmatic worker of Taiwan independence".
Opposition Kuomintang (KMT) party's candidate Hou Yu-ih and Taiwan People's Party Ko Wen-je have pledged friendlier ties with China, saying Lai's pro-independence remarks could undermine Taiwan's security.

You may have heard — Joan Didion claimed we “tell ourselves stories in order to live.” But — I wonder if we actually make lists in order to live.
Didion made this claim in the first line of “The White Album,” an essay that constellates Didion’s own mental health issues with the Manson Trial, a Doors recording session, and Black Panther Party meetings, among other cultural hallmarks of the decaying ‘60s. The organizing principle of the essay is Didion herself — she is the lens. I’ve asked my creative writing students many times to explain why this essay ends with the following line:
Quite often I reflect on this big house in Hollywood, on “Midnight Confessions” and on Ramon Navarro and on the fact that Roman Polanski and I are godparents to the same child, but writing has not yet helped me to see what it means.
I ask them to explain this because I really want to know. “It’s a real question,” I insist, unpersuasively. I show them the famous photo of Polanski outside the Cielo Drive bungalow and explain this was where his pregnant wife, an actress named Sharon Tate, was murdered. I suppose I do this because what I really want them to address is the Polanski of it all — why, in the end, does Didion point to her tether to the Polanski, to the rot and darkness and death of the decade as a conclusion? Is it a conclusion?
Over time, I’ve come to realize theme is anchor for Didion. A way to convince herself she was really there, was really part of this phantasmagoric moment. Didion creates meaning through a narrative organized out of incomprehensible events in which she herself is the only constant — although, as her last line, “writing has not yet helped me to see what it means,” conveys she herself does not yet know this.
Didion’s ‘60s were, of course, a more simplified time in the sense that there was not such an over abundance of information. Unlike us, Didion’s brain was not attempting to function like a router intaking more data than can ever actually be sorted, let alone understood. In “Between Memory and History: Les Lieux de Memoire,” French memory theorist Pierre Nora considers the hyper documentation made possible by cameras.
Imagine a society absorbed in its own historicity. It would be incapable of producing historians. Living entirely under the sign of the future, it would satisfy itself with automatic self-recording processes and auto-inventory machines, postponing indefinitely the task of understanding itself.
While Nora explains this in depth, I’ll TL;DR with: think about the camera (sc)roll on your iPhone. Most of us have an unsortable amount of photos, many taken out of an impulse to “not forget.” And yet — it is the very compulsion to document that removes one from the moment, that absents one from experience.
The List emerges as a way to sort, without any real “understanding of the self” the supersaturation of experience and information encountered every single day. In 1967, Susan Sontag reflected on her love of lists, writing:
I perceive value, I confer value, I create value, I even create — or guarantee — existence. Hence, my compulsion to make “lists.” The things (Beethoven’s music, movies, business firms) won’t exist unless I signify my interest in them by at least noting down their names.
Nothing exists unless I maintain it (by my interest, or my potential interest). This is an ultimate, mostly subliminal anxiety. Hence, I must remain always, both in principle + actively, interested in everything. Taking all of knowledge as my province.
Sontag explanation of The List feels, to me, like an answer to Nora’s anxiety about the indefinite postponement of “understanding the self.” Sontage’s lists take the enormity of “interest in everything” to “guarantee” the very existence of not just what she loves but who she is through the act of naming that which she wants to make realer, more inscribed in the overwritten world.
A decade after Sontag wrote the above journal entry, she records the following list of her likes and dislikes:
Things I like: fires, Venice, tequila, sunsets, babies, silent films, heights, coarse salt, top hats, large long-haired dogs, ship models, cinnamon, goose down quilts, pocket watches, the smell of newly mown grass, linen, Bach, Louis XIII furniture, sushi, microscopes, large rooms, ups, boots, drinking water, maple sugar candy.
Things I dislike: sleeping in an apartment alone, cold weather, couples, football games, swimming, anchovies, mustaches, cats, umbrellas, being photographed, the taste of licorice, washing my hair (or having it washed), wearing a wristwatch, giving a lecture, cigars, writing letters, taking showers, Robert Frost, German food.
Things I like: ivory, sweaters, architectural drawings, urinating, pizza (the Roman bread), staying in hotels, paper clips, the color blue, leather belts, making lists, Wagon-Lits, paying bills, caves, watching ice-skating, asking questions, taking taxis, Benin art, green apples, office furniture, Jews, eucalyptus trees, pen knives, aphorisms, hands.
Things I dislike: Television, baked beans, hirsute men, paperback books, standing, card games, dirty or disorderly apartments, flat pillows, being in the sun, Ezra Pound, freckles, violence in movies, having drops put in my eyes, meatloaf, painted nails, suicide, licking envelopes, ketchup, traversins [“bolsters”], nose drops, Coca-Cola, alcoholics, taking photographs.
Things I like: drums, carnations, socks, raw peas, chewing on sugar cane, bridges, Dürer, escalators, hot weather, sturgeon, tall people, deserts, white walls, horses, electric typewriters, cherries, wicker / rattan furniture, sitting cross-legged, stripes, large windows, fresh dill, reading aloud, going to bookstores, under-furnished rooms, dancing, Ariadne auf Naxos.
Yesterday, Obama released his yearly list of favorites. I’ll admit in the past, I’ve been skeptical about the former president’s lists — largely because it seems fairly obvious Obama does not actually read most of his recs. (Although I have often delighted in the idea of him reading Raven Leilani’s exquisitely rendered sex scenes in Luster.) But this year, in the context of Sontag’s defense of lists as not just as reifying of the self, but of the world in the otherwise disassociated riot of information, opinions, events, and experiences that seem to only occur more rapidly and less metabolizably — I appreciate the former President’s efforts to perceive, confer, and create value.
While I’ve never bothered to make my own lists (aside from a Twitter post about my five favorite novels of the year, a gesture which is now N/A because RIP Twitter), I’ve made my own curation of my favorite films, books, and music with a one sentence review as a way to, well, make myself lists in order to live.

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.

The Senators opened the scoring on their first power play of the night when Jakob Chychrun crept low on the right side of the offensive zone, creating a seam for Claude Giroux to deliver a pass across the net. Chyrchrun buried the one-time opportunity 6:51 into the contest.
Zack MacEwen scored on a slap shot from atop the right circle to double Ottawa’s lead less than six minutes later.
“They get that early power-play goal and that ignited them, it ignited the crowd, got us on our heels a little bit, and I thought for the next 10 minutes or so, (we were) a little sloppy with the puck, not tracking with our forwards and getting on top of their speed,” Appert said.
The Sabres were able to regain control by the end of the period and generate momentum with Thompson’s goal, which they rolled through the intermission. They held the Senators without a shot for more than seven minutes to open the second period and nearly tied the game on a put-back attempt by Jeff Skinner that was blocked by forward Tim Stutzle on its way to an otherwise open net.
Dominik Kubalik scored on Ottawa’s first shot of the period, taken with 12:38 remaining. Ridly Greig split the defense on the rush and centered a pass to the front of the Buffalo net, where Kubalik was able to flip a shot in off his backhand.
Mark Kastelic scored on a deflection to extend the Senators’ lead to 4-1 with 15.7 seconds left in the period.
“We outplayed them in the second period, but they outscored us,” Appert said. “And that’s the difference. They executed on some of their opportunities. We missed on some of our opportunities.”
The Sabres earned a 16-8 edge in shots during the third period but were once again held off the board. Artem Zub scored the Senators’ final goal into an empty net with 4:44 remaining.
“We have to score on our chances,” alternate captain Rasmus Dahlin said. “We have to get greasy in front of their net and get some rebound goals. Yeah, we have to be better.”

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.powerorlando.com/news/trending/customs-officers-seize-meth-cocaine-valued-102m-border-crossing/QORQLDR44JGF7NUPEPNKB56NDU/ | 2024-01-01T04:30:43Z |

Mumbai Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) arrested a man along with 250 grams of Mephedrone (MD) drugs in the Mahim area on New Year's Eve, officials said. The estimated value of seized drugs is Rs 50 lakh, they said.
According to officials, a team from the Worli unit of the ANC was patrolling late at night. While patrolling near Mahim Railway Station, they noticed a man standing on the footpath near platform number one. The man appeared suspicious, prompting ANC officials to stop and search him.
During the search, they found a white powder in a plastic bag, identified as MD drugs, leading to the arrest of the person. Upon interrogation, he identified himself as Benedict Francis Godgift Cyprian alias Dinku (37).
The police registered a case under the NDPS Act and arrested him. The ANC seized 250 grams of MD drugs from Dinku, valued at Rs 50 million in the international market.
Dinku resides in Nalasopara, and the police are investigating the source of the MD drugs, they said. The ANC presented Dinku in court, where he was remanded in police custody until January 3, officials added. (ANI)
