Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations (ACPO) Livai Driu says young people are being exploited as carriers of drugs and they have made some arrests in the last few days.
ACP Driu said while it may be alarming, it’s a sad reality and our young people who we always thought to be loitering around the City area aimlessly are actually being used to transport drugs from one point to another.
He said Police Operations on the ground continue to stop search young people roaming around unnecessarily and a handful have been found with dried leaves believed to be marijuana, hard drugs and drug apparatus.
ACP Driu is calling on all parents to do their job as a parent and look after their family members.
“We are calling on all parents to monitor their children and keep them occupied during this festive session.”
“Spend more time at home with them because many of our young people are being use for this illegal trade.”
He said more Police will be out this weekend and they will continue their search on anyone acting suspicious especially young people.
ACP Driu is calling on everyone to support the Police in its operations as we farewell this year and greet the New Year without any incident. | https://fijilive.com/young-people-used-as-drug-carriers/ | 2024-01-01T04:46:58Z |

Deepankar Sharda
Chandigarh, December 31
Amid cold weather conditions and high security, city residents celebrated New Year’s Eve. Roads leading to clubs and restaurants witnessed bumper-to-bumper traffic till 11 pm.
The areas that witnessed much hustle and bustle were Sectors 17, 26, 10, 35, Industrial Area, Chandigarh Golf Club and Chandigarh Club. Besides, main areas of Mohali, Sectors 9 and 10 in Panchkula and Ambala highway in Zirakpur remained jam-packed with people coming out in large numbers to celebrate the last night of 2023.
The UT police remained on toes to maintain law and order with youngsters from Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana flocking to the city to ring in the New Year.
“We came from Amritsar to welcome the New Year in Chandigarh. We had heard a lot about the happening parties here and were happy to attend one in a Sector 26 club,” said Shipra Bansal.
Her friend Aditya said, “It’s good to be here. We went to Sector 17 and also to a famous mall. The city is abuzz with a lot of activity. It seems that the entire city is in celebration mode.”
Meanwhile, on New Year’s Eve, many stretches were declared “restricted vehicle zone” between 10 pm and 2 am. These included inner market roads of Sectors 7, 8, 9 and 10, and internal roads of Sectors 17 and 22.
The police had put up nakas at important points and inside parking lots to keep tabs on the consumption of liquor in the open. “We had found some people consuming liquor in the open, but they were let off after warning. The situation was normal and people enjoyed without any hassle,” said a police official at Sector 8 market.
The UT Police restricted the parking of vehicles inside the parking lots after 8 pm, which forced party lovers to look for spaces far away in Sectors 26 and 43.
As a safety measure, the police also checked the ID cards of those coming to attend parties.

Las Vegas standup comic Shecky Greene dies at 97
Shecky Greene, a comic legend of the old-school Las Vegas lounge acts who rubbed elbows with yesteryear entertainment greats, died on Sunday, his widow told the media. His wife of 41 years, Marie Musso Greene, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that her husband, born Fred Sheldon Greenfield in Chicago, died of natural causes at their home in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Shecky Greene, a comic legend of the old-school Las Vegas lounge acts who rubbed elbows with yesteryear entertainment greats, died on Sunday, his widow told the media.
His wife of 41 years, Marie Musso Greene, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that her husband, born Fred Sheldon Greenfield in Chicago, died of natural causes at their home in Las Vegas, Nevada. Greene, who served in the U.S. Navy in World War II, headlined Vegas acts in the 1950s and 1960s where he was famous for foregoing his planned comedic routines and improvising jokes while walking through the audience with a microphone in hand.
He was a frequent guest on early variety television programs such as the Ed Sullivan Show and made more than 40 appearances on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Even on television he would perform ad-libbed jokes with the occasional pratfall while the show's host would try to keep up. In the Las Vegas nightclubs he worked alongside entertainment giants such as Bob Hope, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra.
But offstage, he battled a host of personal problems including gambling, alcohol and drug addictions and depression, which at times he joked about. He once told his audience that he suffered from bipolar disorder and quipped, "I'm more than bipolar. I'm South Polar, North Polar. I'm every kind of polar there is. I even lived with a polar bear for about a year," the New York Times reported.
And at times he talked seriously about struggling with mental illness and issues including stage fright. "I'd get a standing ovation, then I'd burst out crying as soon as I left the stage," he told Las Vegas Review-Journal in 2009.
Greene was also an avid fan of thoroughbred racing and once owned a race horse also named Shecky Greene, an online biography says. Along with his widow, Greene is survived by his two adopted daughters, Dorian Hoffman and Alison Greene.
No public services were announced.

Sriharikota (Andhra Pradesh) [India], January 1 (ANI): The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully launched the X-ray Polarimeter Satellite on the very first day of the New Year, in continuation of its stellar space odyssey from the previous year.
The satellite that was launched from Sriharikota spaceport on Monday at 9.10 am, as scheduled, among others, would offer insights into space-based polarisation measurements of X-ray emission from various celestial sources.
ISRO's PSLV-C58 Mission is to launch XPOSAT Satellite into an Eastward low inclination orbit. After injection of XPOSAT, the PS4 stage will be re-started twice to reduce the orbit into 350 km circular orbit to maintain in 3-axis stabilized mode for Orbital Platform (OP) experiments. The PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-3 (POEM-3) experiment will be executed meeting the objective of 10 identified payloads, supplied by ISRO and IN-SPACe.
The XPOSat (X-ray Polarimeter Satellite) is India's first dedicated polarimetry mission to study various dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources in extreme conditions.
According to ISRO The XPOSAT satellite has two payloads:
POLIX: This will measure the polarimetry parameters (degree and angle of polarization) in medium X-ray energy range of 8-30 keV photons of astronomical origin. The payload is being developed by Ramam Research Institute (RRI), Bangalore in collaboration with U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC). The instrument is made of a collimator, a scatterer and four X-ray proportional counter detectors that surrounds the scatterer. The scatterer is made of low atomic mass material which causes anisotropic Thomson scattering of incoming polarised X-rays. The collimator restricts the field of view to 3 degree x 3 degree so as to have only one bright source in the field of view for most observations. POLIX is expected to observer about 40 bright astronomical sources of different categories during the planned lifetime of XPoSat mission of about 5 years. This is the first payload in the medium X-ray energy band dedicated for polarimetry measurements.
XSPECT: Will give spectroscopic information in the energy range of 0.8-15 keV. An X-ray SPECtroscopy and Timing payload onboard XPoSat, which can provide fast timing and good spectroscopic resolution in soft X-rays. Taking advantage of the long duration observations required by POLIX to measure X-ray polarization, XSPECT can provide long-term monitoring of spectral state changes in continuum emission, changes in their line flux and profile, simultaneous long term temporal monitoring of soft X-ray emission in the X-ray energy range 0.8-15 keV. An array of Swept Charge Devices (SCDs) provide an effective area >30 cm2 at 6 keV with energy resolution better than 200 eV at 6 keV. Passive collimators are used to reduce the background by narrowing the field of view of XSPECT. XSPECT would observe several types of sources viz X-ray pulsars, blackhole binaries, low-magnetic field neutron star (NS) in LMXBs, AGNs and Magnetars.
The objective of the mission is to measure polarisation of X-rays in the energy band 8-30keV emanating from about 50 potential cosmic sources through Thomson Scattering by POLIX payload. To carry out long term spectral and temporal studies of cosmic X-ray sources in the energy band 0.8-15keV by XSPECT payload. To carry out polarisation and spectroscopic measurements of X-ray emissions from cosmic sources by POLIX and XSPECT payloads respectively in the common energy band.
The emission mechanism from various astronomical sources such as blackhole, neutron stars, active galactic nuclei, pulsar wind nebulae etc. originates from complex physical processes and are challenging to understand. The exact nature of the emission from such sources still poses deeper challenges to astronomers. The polarimetry measurements add two more dimension to understanding, the degree of polarization and the angle of polarization and thus is a diagnostic tool to understand the emission processes from astronomical sources.
In a stellar display of prowess, India soared to new heights in 2023 with the successful soft landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the south pole of moon and the launch of Aditya-L1, India's first solar mission.
The primary objective of the Chandrayaan-3, the country's first successful lunar landing mission, was to demonstrate a soft landing near the lunar south polar region and perform experiments using the instruments onboard the lander 'Vikram' and rover 'Pragyaan'.
On August 23, Vikram Lander made its historic touchdown on the Moon and subsequently, the Pragyan rover was deployed to survey the uncharted lunar south pole.
These milestones not only secured India's standing in the global space economy but also fueled the engines for the private space sector in India.
Among other feats India now aims for are the Gaganyaan Mission, setting up 'Bharatiya Antariksha Station' by 2035, and sending the first Indian to the Moon by 2040. (ANI)

Dushyant Singh Pundir
Chandigarh, December 31
The UT Administration is considering to unveiling the Excise Policy 2024-25 in February due to the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections. An official says the department is planning to roll out the policy in February before the Model Code of Conduct comes into force, which is likely in March.
The early announcement will help the authorities in smooth implementation of the policy and auction of liquor vends. This way even if the poll code is imposed, the process will continue as per the scheduled time and from the first day of the next financial year i.e. April 1.
The official says officers of Excise and Taxation Department are preparing the policy and discuss the same with UT Administrator Banwarilal Purohit in January so that after his approval, the policy can be released in February. At the same time, if the election code of conduct is imposed before the policy is announced, the entire process will have to be stopped and be resumed only after the election results are declared, he adds.
This financial year, of 95 liquor vends, 18 remained unsold even after several rounds of auctions and reduction in the reserve price by nearly 50 per cent.
The first auction was held in March 2023, but not all vends were sold. For this, the Excise and Taxation Department held the last auction on October 31. But even after that, these 18 contracts could not be sold. Due to this, the department suffered a loss of nearly Rs 100 crore. Now, when the Administration called the liquor contractors for suggestions for making the policy, none of them took part in the meetings.
Contractors say if there is no change in the new policy in the next financial year, it will have a negative impact on the liquor business. Therefore, this time the administration should make some changes keeping in mind the excise policy of neighbouring states, they add.

With more local value additions, electronics manufacturing sector to be worth USD 115 bn in 2024
- Country:
- India
India's electronics manufacturing sector is set to grow 15 per cent to be worth USD 115 billion in 2024, with players continuing to focus more on higher levels of value addition in terms of components and development of products.
The production of mobile phones, the poster boy of the country's electronics manufacturing, is expected to surpass USD 50 billion by March 2024 from around USD 42 billion in the previous financial year.
Google's Pixel smartphone production in India from the first quarter of 2024 will complete the manufacturing presence of all global majors in the country.
India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA) Chairman Pankaj Mohindroo said the total production of electronic goods in the financial year 2023-24 is estimated to reach USD 115 billion, buoyed by an exceptional contribution of mobile phones, which is estimated to exceed USD 50 billion in the current fiscal.
According to data shared by the government, domestic electronics manufacturing increased over four-fold to Rs 8.22 lakh crore or USD 102 billion in the last 10 years from Rs 1,80,454 crore (USD 29.8 billion) in FY14.
Mohindroo said the mobile phone exports are expected at USD 15 billion in FY24, posting a 35 per cent growth over the last fiscal.
ICEA estimates that mobile phone exports have surpassed USD 9 billion during the April-November period of this fiscal compared to USD 6.2 billion during the same period last year.
While indigenous electronics manufacturing has been growing in terms of value and volume, former RBI Chairman Raghuram Rajan triggered a debate by questioning the level of value addition taking place in the country.
Rajan's remark attracted criticism from Union ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw and Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
Vaishnaw, in a veiled attack on Rajan, had said that he has joined the opposition and the industry has ignored the criticism of the opposition by achieving new heights in manufacturing complex technology products.
He also said that local value addition in many electronics products has increased to up to 60 per cent and projected that India will become a significant component exporter in the next three to four years.
With a strong focus on deep manufacturing and a greater degree of localisation, Mohindroo said the mobile phone industry has also been able to achieve a state of near self-reliance in PCBAs (Printed Circuit Boards Assembly), chargers, battery packs and cables, among others.
In its race to build a semiconductor ecosystem, the government was able to get its first breakthrough with a USD 2.75 billion project by global memory chip maker Micron to set up an assembly and test plant for memory chip modules in the country with 70 per cent fiscal support from the government.
However, the sudden break up of the Vedanta-Foxconn joint venture for a proposed semiconductor plant was unexpected.
Now, both entities are separately working to set up a semiconductor plant.
According to official announcements, Tata Electronics, Foxconn and HCL Group have submitted applications to set up chip plants. Chips are the most expensive and key component required for making modern electronic devices.
Fabless chipset company MediaTek India's Managing Director Anku Jain said that his company is into designing chipsets and it will explore options to source locally-made chipsets, depending on the business case, when semiconductor plants are established.
''Overall, we are bullish about the whole ecosystem being set up in India. Going forward, more and more components of this puzzle will come from India,'' Jain said.
Electronics components players body ELCINA estimates the electronics component manufacturing base in India is valued at over USD 11 billion while demand is in excess of USD 40 billion.
ELCINA Secretary General Rajoo Goel said India needs a special scheme for the rest of the components to complete the ecosystem.
''The PLI (Production Linked Incentive) schemes announced so far to support component manufacturing have not been successful as they are not designed for value-added manufacturing. Component manufacturing requires a very high capital investment ratio between 1:1 and 1:3 against the ratio of 1:10 or more for equipment manufacturing, which mainly has assembly, test and pack operations,'' he said.
Consultancy Techarc's Chief Analyst Faisal Kawoosa said that value addition in mobile devices has picked up from 5-6 per cent earlier to up to 28 per cent, and there is a need to give a push to design in India products to enhance value addition.
According to the telecom PLI scheme beneficiary GX Telecom, the industry in India emphasises localisation, with some components and PCBA designs already being produced in India.
''We are increasing our investment plans to ensure localisation of the value chain with USD 60 million (Rs 500 crore), supported by the surge in domestic market demand and aligning with new technology trends,'' GX Group CEO Paritosh Prajapati said. State-owned telecom research arm Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DoT) CEO Rajkumar Upadhyay said the Centre's effort to push local product development and design has started bearing fruit now.
He said the government has supported several startups through the Telecom Technology Development Fund that are now contributing to the development of 4G, 5G and even 6G technology domestically.
During the year, the electronic manufacturing services segment also touched a new high, with domestic players like Dixon Technologies, Syrma SGS Technology, and Optiemus Electronics getting more prominence, which was earlier being dominated by foreign EMS firms like Foxconn and Flex.
Optiemus Electronics Managing Director A Gururaj said there will be a greater acceleration and momentum in the electronics manufacturing sector in 2024.
''We are constantly looking at ways to increase the localisation of the components and processes in manufacturing electronics products in India. At present, the hardware's bill of material has been localised to 20 per cent. We further aim to elevate this to 45 per cent in the next year,'' he said.

Sriharikota (Andhra Pradesh), Jan 1 (PTI) ISRO on Monday successfully launched its maiden X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite that would offer several insights into celestial objects like black holes.
ISRO's ever reliable Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) in its C58 mission, placed the primary X-Ray Polarimeter satellite XPoSat into a 650 Km Low Earth Orbit as intended after lifting off at the pre-fixed time of 9.10 am from the first launch pad here.
As the 25-hour countdown concluded, the 44.4-metre tall rocket lifted off majestically with thunderous applause from spectators who had descended here in large numbers at this spaceport situated about 135 km east of Chennai.
The X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) is aimed to investigate the polarisation of intense X-ray sources in space.
According to ISRO, it is the first dedicated scientific satellite from the space agency to carry out research in space-based polarisation measurements of X-ray emission from celestial sources.
The X-Ray polarisation serves as a crucial diagnostic tool for examining the radiation mechanism and geometry of celestial sources.
The primary payload of XPoSat is POLIX (Polarimeter Instrument in X-Rays) which is designed to measure polarimetry parameters by Raman Research Institute and XSPECT (X-ray Spectroscopy and Timing) built by the U R Rao Satellite Centre, Bengaluru. The Mission life is about five years.

"This project will further strengthen the public transport in the city and spur economic growth. Bhubaneswar has been recognised for various urban projects and is emerging as a city with an enhanced quality of life.

HP govt to provide horticulture equipment at affordable rates from Jan 1: CM
The Himachal Pradesh government will offer quality horticulture equipment, fertilisers and pesticides at affordable rates to apple growers through HPMC from January 1, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said on Sunday.
In a statement issued here, he said the Himachal Pradesh Horticulture Produce Marketing and Processing Corporation (HPMC) has reduced its margin from 15 per cent to 9 per cent, enabling apple growers to access quality products at more economical prices.
HPMC has inked 38 memorandum of understanding (MoUs) for direct purchases from original manufacturing companies, striving to offer farmers vital items at low rates, the chief minister said.
''Our government is committed to supporting apple growers, and the decision to reduce margins reflects our dedication to uplifting the horticultural community and enhancing the economic well-being of apple growers in Himachal as our top priority'', he said.
The government aims to increase the income of the horticulturists in the state, and the horticulture department will suitably modify the existing schemes and make them more effective through appropriate restructuring, he added.
The government made provisions in its first budget for an online system to be established to facilitate procurement of horticulture produce at minimum support price by HPMC. This online facility will also be available for booking the Controlled Atmosphere (CA) stores of HPMC, the statement said.
Apart from the sale of produce from home, the farmers will also be able to book farm equipment and materials sold by HPMC, the chief minister said.
The government successfully facilitated the sale of apples at a per-kilogram rate in the current year, fulfilling the long pending demands of the growers, leading to increased profits for them, said Sukhu.
He also assured that the sale of apples in the upcoming season will be streamlined into universal cartons.

Bhubaneswar, Jan 1 (PTI) The BJP Odisha unit has decided to focus on farmers, women, youth and students in the state for the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections to be held this year, a party leader said.
This was resolved in the three-day meeting attended by BJP leaders to decide the roadmap for the next elections. The meeting was attended by BJP national general secretary (organisation) BL Santhosh, central observer Sunil Bansal and assistant observer Vijaypal Singh Tomar, he said.
On Sunday Tomar asked the party's frontal organisations to focus on women, youth and students.
"We were asked to make people understand that the women self-help groups were mostly funded by the Centre and not the state government. Though the BJP-led central government spent a lot, the state BJD government takes all credit. We will appraise the women the facts," BJP Mahila Morcha state president Aiswarya Biswal told reporters after the meeting.
This apart, the Mahila Morcha will also highlight the "rising atrocities" on women in Odisha.
The BJP has set a target on women voters as the ruling BJD's victory 'mantra' lies with the women self-help groups who have ensured the regional party's victory in subsequent elections in Odisha. There were about 70 lakh women who were members of different SHGs and they are used for the political benefits of the ruling party, she said.
Similarly, the meeting also resolved that the party would highlight on unemployment and youths migrating to other states in search of work due to lack of opportunities in the state.
The state BJP has also told its student members that the party would hold regular college union elections if it comes to power in the 2024 elections. The BJD government has stopped the college union elections since 2018.
In a press conference, BJP state unit president Manmohan Samal on Sunday said: "If BJP comes to power in Odisha, all the people cheated by chit fund companies will get back their hard-earned money within 24 hours. We will return money to the poor investors by promulgating an ordinance."
Samal said the BJP will also ensure that the farmer's income is doubled in Odisha and farmers get all the benefits from different programmes announced by the central government.
The Congress ridiculed the BJP's promises. OPCC president Sarat Pattnayak said: "We have seen how the BJP government has deposited Rs 15 lakh in bank account of each family in the country by retrieving black money. The people have also seen how the BJP government provided employment to the youths. The BJP promises were never met in the past."
BJD leader and MLA Padmanav Behera said: "The people of Odisha will not be misled by the promises of BJP, They have seen how Naveen Patnaik government implements schemes for poor and needy people. The people will not believe in BJP's hallow promises."

On a hot day, there's hardly anything better than a cold one, and with summer in full swing in Northern Tasmania, the beer trail is looking better than ever.
The Examiner has compiled a list of the best breweries to check out during the hotter months of the year in no particular order.
Du Cane Brewery
Launceston
It's remarkable that the award-winning Du Cane Brewery is only one year old - it feels like it's been in Launceston for decades.
This trendy brew hall in the heart of the city has a camping-store aesthetic - courtesy of its owners keeping the look of its former residents, All Goods Tents - along with the laid back campfire attitude.
And it certainly has the beers to match: the brewpub has pale ales, German-inspired pilsners,a dark chocolate stout and even a raspberry sour on tap.
James Boags Brewery
Launceston
It would be plainly unpatriotic of us not to mention James Boag.
There's a reason that, for most Northern Tasmanian beer drinkers, James was likely their first love. For more than 160 years at the Esk River, Boags has been the north of the state's brewing stalwart.
At its Brewery Bar in the heritage-listed Tamar Hotel, the three-bar, beer garden and history-filled space is a perfect site for catching a few beverages with the boys. There's a reason it's a lot of locals' favourite local.
Little Green Men
Deloraine
Inside the British Hotel in Deloraine - itself a worthy spot for anyone looking for an idyllic summer stroll through small-town paradise - is Little Green Men Brewing Co.
Producing a variety of beer styles, both traditional and modern on their small batch system at the venue, Little Green Men is a brewery that's quietly making a name for itself.
With an offering of sours, wheat beer, Indian pale ale and porter along with real ale straight from the brewery's hand pump, the pub is a perfect spot for a summer sojourn. And the brewing never stops: the Green Men are always cooking up new recipes.
Little Rivers Brewing Co.
Scottsdale
Craft beer and a woodfire pizza, what's not to love? Little Rivers Brewing Co. is a gorgeous little spot for lovers of lager and boutique brews.
This brewery in Scottsdale is only a stone's throw from the famous Pipers River wine route, internationally recognised golf courses Barnbougle Dunes and Lost Farm and a mere 30 minutes drive to Australia's most exciting mountain biking track, Blue Derby.
With a range of tasting panels, liquor lovers can have a try of everything from the brewery's golden ale to its pale ale on a day out.
Kind of makes you want to pack up and get out there already, doesn't it?
Iron House Brewery

Indo-Australia trade deal boosts engineering exports, despite import surge
We expect a surge in exports to Australia, especially with their recent efforts to curb domestic industries and increased reliance on imports, Garodia told PTI.He added that this could attract them to other countries like India under the free trade agreement, particularly as they become accustomed to importing from diverse sources with the China plus one strategy.Garodia further expressed hope that engineering exports from India could double within a year 2024.The share of Indias engineering exports to its total merchandise exports to Australia also witnessed a significant rise, reaching 15.1 per cent during the review period.
- Country:
- India
One year after the India-Australia Economic and Trade Cooperation Agreement (ETCA) came into effect, engineering exports to Australia reached USD 944 million in April-November 2023-24, a 3 per cent increase.
However, imports from Australia also saw a significant 30 per cent upswing during the same period. India's engineering imports from Australia reached USD 355.02 million during April to October 2023-24.
Despite the sharp surge in imports, EEPC India chairman Arun K Garodia remains optimistic, pointing to a positive engineering trade balance of USD 471 million between April and October 2023-24. This, he says, underscores the resilience and competitiveness of India's engineering sector.
''While imports have increased more than exports in the short term of the new trade deal, we remain optimistic about the long-term benefits for the engineering sector. We expect a surge in exports to Australia, especially with their recent efforts to curb domestic industries and increased reliance on imports,'' Garodia told PTI.
He added that this could attract them to other countries like India under the free trade agreement, particularly as they become accustomed to importing from diverse sources with the ''China plus one'' strategy.
Garodia further expressed hope that engineering exports from India could double within a year (2024).
The share of India's engineering exports to its total merchandise exports to Australia also witnessed a significant rise, reaching 15.1 per cent during the review period. This increased share emphasizes the growing importance of India's engineering sector in bilateral trade dynamics between the two nations, Garodia said.
He also highlighted a significant outcome of the ETCA, the introduction of new tariff lines for various engineering products, which is expected to boost bilateral trade. This diversification includes products like dumpers, plastic-insulated conductors, and standard wires, and cables with a steel core. The inclusion of these products signifies a broader range of engineering goods being exported under the agreement.

Radhika Pasrija
Chandigarh, December 31
Carved wooden items being sold at “One Station One Product” (OSOP) outlet at the Chandigarh Railway Station have failed to find many takers. Against the expected sales of Rs 10,000 every day, two cousins from Saharanpur — Aijaz Malik and Mohammad Shahadab — hardly sold items worth Rs 3,000-4,000 per day in the past three months.
As part of the government’s “Vocal for Local” initiative, the Ministry of Railways launched the OSOP last year to create opportunities for indigenous artisans and marginalised sections of society. A tender of Rs 6,000 is released for three months for selling products made by tribals, weavers and craftsmen at railway stations.
Malik and Shahadab have been into woodworking for 20 years as part of their family profession. They had included a wide range of wooden products, handcrafted by a chain of artisans in Saharanpur, at the outlet. These included games, toys, decorative items, tableware and kitchenware, besides acupressure equipment. Today was the last day of their three-month tender. They said the response towards their products could have been better, but it was a good experience.
Malik said, “On an average, we sold items worth Rs 3,000-4,000 every day, of which our profit was not more than 50 per cent. If we count our daily food expense of Rs 500, our profit cannot be estimated at more than Rs 1,000, excluding our rent for accommodation and money spent on buying things for the family.”
The reason behind low sales is said to be lack of awareness behind the motive of the outlet among passengers and visitors at the railway station. Even those who frequently travel do not know much about this initiative or the reason behind the existence of this outlet.
A middle-aged man, waiting for his train, said, “I travel almost every week by train. I assumed this outlet to be a random shop. Had I known the objective behind the initiative, I would have definitely considered promoting it and buying a few items.”
A blogger suggested, “Maybe the authorities should put on a flex or some kind of display board, mentioning the objective behind the initiative so as to garner more sales.”
Also a majority of the travellers reach the station just in time for boarding the train, which leaves little time for them to have a look around. The cousins wish the person who gets the next tender gets ample support from the authorities to publicise his products and does better.

The proposed nudist beach at First Little Beach in the Narawntapu National Park has unveiled a hidden gem ( pardon the pun).
It is undoubtedly one of the nicest beaches on this stretch of coastline and also one of the area's best-kept secrets. It is frequented by local and visiting families who are aware of its bright white sand and inviting clear water.
Now, it has been taken away from the "clothing preferred" community by the West Tamar Council, with little regard for the local community's wishes.
Where was the community consultation before a decision was made?
The first I heard about it was the Mayor grandstanding to the media.
When councillor Geoff Lyon publicly states, "he is happy to fulfill the request as long as nobody made him strip off", and when Deputy Mayor Jess Green also says, "she would not be frequenting the beach ...", it illustrates how far detached West Tamar councillors are from the community that voted them in.
Our elected councillors are meant to be the voice of all the community they serve.
They might get reminded of that at the next election.

Cash is the safest option
Again we are hearing on the news that we may have to pay to use cash.
Today we went to a major hardware store and waltzed up with the magic card!
Lo and behold, we couldn't use it as the system was down, so we had to resort to good old cash!
The powers that be might have to have a think about their idea of abolishing cash as this is the first time it's come to the rescue of shoppers.
With all the scams and hawking going on it seems cash is the safest option.
Glennis Sleurink, Launceston
Shop local or stop complaining
I read the complaints about self-checkouts installed at Coles and Woolworths with both mild shock and frustration.
The solution is simple, shop at IGA.
There is a large store in Prospect with everything for the weekly shop.
During the week, stop at the well-stocked stores at Youngtown, Norwood, Ravenswood and Invermay.
Over a full shop, the cost difference is less than 10 per cent at the Prospect store, compared to Coles and Woolworths.
The business is locally owned, they still employ checkout staff, and the deli offerings are amazing!
If you're time-poor or can't get to a store, Prospect does click & collect or delivery.
Stop complaining and make a better choice. The quality is better and the cost is almost the same.
Remember, having staff costs money; it's a small percentage to pay.
I'll finish by saying; I've got no horse in the grocery race - I don't care where anyone shops - but don't complain when you're choosing to shop where your custom isn't appreciated.
Robert Smith, Newstead
An ideal way to promote cycle use
I live at the top of the Grindelwald hill.
I can ride my pushbike around the top roads and bush, but I can't go down the hill (brakes would fail) or up the hill (I would fail).
If I could put my bike on the bus I could go into town to do what I do.
Bike bus racks exist - could they be considered for Tamar Valley buses please.

Flush with complaints to City of Launceston Council
As a regular user of Launceston Council's Elizabeth Street Carpark, particularly in accessing Legacy House, I was shocked and disappointed on Thursday, December 28, to find the council's adjacent public toilets padlocked and "closed for business".
When returning to my car late in the morning after doing some shopping, my shock and disappointment was exacerbated by seeing a young man relieving himself at the rear of the toilet block.
Surely the council could have rostered on an officer to open all public toilets in the CBD to be utilised by members of the public and to avoid the unsavoury spectacle referred to above.

Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and their kids Taimur and Jeh are in Switzerland for their New Year Holiday. After welcoming 2024, Kareena took to Instagram to share photos from the hotel room, of them dressing up to celebrate.
Kareena chose an ethnic ensemble for the New Year dinner, while Saif looked dashing in a white tuxedo.
Kareena captured a candid photo of Saif as he was fixing his bowtie in front of a mirror. The post read, “Are you ready? We are.” The second photo shows Kareena and Saif posing, and she captioned it as, "Framed. 31-12-2023."
Ever since tying the knot in 2012, Kareena and Saif have visited Gstaad in the Swiss Alps almost every year to ring in the New Year. This year before heading to Switzerland, she and her family spent some time in London.

Panchkula, December 31
Haryana Vidhan Sabha Speaker Gian Chand Gupta has said that approval has been given for several works, including a foot overbridge towards the cremation ground in Budhanpur village at a cost of Rs 18.65 lakh, road connecting Budhanpur with a sector at Rs 46.50 lakh, Gogamadhi road at a cost of Rs 6.87 lakh and the renovation of a dharamshala at a cost of Rs 53.17 lakh.
Gupta said the tenders were in process and work on all these projects would start in January. Work on the Budhanpur market road, sewerage, drinking water line, etc had been started.
He was addressing a gathering at a programme organised on the arrival of the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra at Budhanpur village last evening.
The Speaker urged the people to resolve to make India a developed country. He handed over pension certificates to 10 elderly persons and Ayushman cards to four families. He also felicitated students who made pupils aware of cleanliness and cultural programmes. He also honoured a visually impaired student, Noori, with a cash award for penning down a poem.
Gupta said the pension of Rs 3,000 would start coming in the account of elderly people this month. Cards were being made under the Ayushman scheme. It was the endeavour of the government to provide better health benefits up to Rs 5 lakh to all poor families. Besides, families with an income of Rs 3 lakh could also take advantage of the Ayushman scheme by paying only Rs 1,500, he added.
People were getting the benefit of this yatra on their doorstep.
Panchkula Mayor Kulbhushan Goyal also spoke on the occasion. Additional Deputy Commissioner Varsha Khanagwal, MDC Sachin Gupta, joint secretary Richa Rathi, DMC Sachin Gupta, BJP vice-president Umesh Sood, MC Sonia Sood, Harendra Malik, honorary general secretary of Child Welfare Council Ranjita Mehta, Mandal women president Vandana, Rajkumar Jain, Manoj Vats, Hardev, Prakash and others were present on the occasion.

Ahead of Carrick Park Pacing Club's first of four meets for the season on Sunday, president Leigh Dornauf said the structure of country racing needed to be tweaked if it is to avoid a precarious situation.
The change to 2024 marks one of the busiest periods for country Tasmanian racing, with the Longford Cup and returning St Mary's Cup setting up the year in style while Carrick, King Island and Scottsdale get their seasons started.
However, since a major restructure of the racing industry more than a decade ago, Dornauf believed a lack of stability and understanding from above has come at the detriment to country clubs.
"There hasn't been enough experience in the role of director of racing and they've hired people that have not one clue about racing and you've got to have a big understanding of it to be able to be the director of racing," he said.
"Most of them that we've had so far, you're ringing them up to question some of the things that have gone on, and they don't have an understanding of it, so they've got to go back and consult with their employees about what someone is trying to talk to them about."
Dornauf said it has come about due to a lack of stability in the role, with the job changing hands on a near yearly basis since the industry became government-controlled.
He added that the one central board representing the three racing disciplines has meant there has been a lack of industry experts in higher positions.
But Dornauf said the issue was not terminal, rather some minor changes could see a fairly quick revival to racing following years of a slow downward trend.
"Going forward, everything is set up as far as the industry goes, we just badly need some leadership," he said.
"We've got a good breed of horses, especially in the thoroughbreds, and in the harness racing, greyhounds are very competitive throughout Australia.
"The participants and owners are doing their part but they're getting let down by the lack of experience from the government departments."
Cups to excite, country races in full swing
With 14 races across two country venues getting 2024 to a fast start out of the gate, punters and raceday goers have no shortage of action to choose from in Tasmania.
The Longford Cup is set to be blessed with 26-degree sunshine for the proud community's annual event with the likely thousands of spectators given added variety for the 2024 edition.
Distances of 800 metres and 2400m have been added to the seven-race card, but the 1800m race six Longford Cup at 4.28pm will be the main event.
Vintage Diesel, Blonde Suspect and Dramazing have each got a fighting chance to take the coveted trophy home, but Sir Simon has been named as an early favourite having won in Launceston over a mile in their last start.
Race one at Longford begins at 1.18pm.
Meanwhile on the East Coast, St Mary's Pacing Club will make a return to the harness racing calendar since their last cup on New Year's Day of 2022, after the event was abandoned last year for being deemed unsuitable.
The improved drainage on the home corner means racing will return to the country track from 1pm, with the race six St Mary's Cup beginning at 4.05pm.
At 2685m distance Bold Centurion - younger half-brother of two-time winner Black Centurion - will hope to follow in his family's tracks by passing the post first, however the likes of Denwen Dancer will be tough competition.
King Island hosted four thoroughbred races on the final day of 2023, with Southern Jewel (ridden by Randy Tan and trained by Rowan Hamer) taking home the cup, while Scottsdale get their summer under way on Friday, January 5. | https://www.examiner.com.au/story/8472995/carrick-longford-and-st-marys-headline-country-racing-summer/ | 2024-01-01T04:47:48Z |
Kazakh Ambassador presents credentials to Iranian President
During the talks, the sides discussed the current state and issues of enhancing Kazakhstan-Iran mutually advantageous cooperation and interaction in a bilateral and multilateral format.
Ambassador Orazbay informed the President of Iran on the crucial measures being taken at the initiative of President Nursultan Nazarbayev for the political and economic development of Kazakhstan, the raising of the people's well-being, and the strengthening of stability in the world. At the same time, he shared his views on the further expansion of trade, economic, investment, and cultural ties between the two countries.
Hassan Rouhani informed that Iran was among the first countries to recognize the independence of Kazakhstan, and friendly bilateral cooperation has been developing since that time. Besides, he emphasized that the close contacts he has established with President Nursultan Nazarbayev make it possible to make a positive impact on the settlement of bilateral and regional issues.
The Iranian President underlined that Kazakhstan's foreign-policy initiatives make a noticeable contribution to preserving regional and international security.
President Rouhani highlighted the high potential of bilateral cooperation, taking into account the possibilities of establishing ties between Kazakhstan and Iran directly through the Caspian Sea, as well as by rail and road through Turkmenistan. He underscored that the intensification of the transit-transport and agricultural interaction will be useful for both countries.
The Iranian President highlighted the existing historical and cultural ties between the two countries, a remarkable example of which is the celebration of Nauryz.
Hassan Rouhani conveyed cordial greetings to Nursultan Nazarbayev and noted that he is awaiting the Kazakh President's visit to Iran. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/kazakh-ambassador-presents-credentials-to-iranian-president_a3494436/ | 2024-01-01T04:47:48Z |

Leaders of various parties pay floral tributes to DMDK founder Vijayakanth in TN's Kanchipuram
Leaders from various parties, including the DMK, AIADMK, BJP, and VCK paid their floral tributes to the late actor and DMDK president Vijayakanth at his special flowered portrait in Kanchipuram district on Sunday.

- India
Leaders from various parties, including the DMK, AIADMK, BJP, and VCK paid their floral tributes to the late actor and DMDK president Vijayakanth at his special flowered portrait in Kanchipuram district on Sunday. Vijayakanth passed away in Chennai on December 28, aged 71, after testing positive for COVID-19 on Thursday.
Kanchipuram DMK MLA Ehilarasan and AIADMK former minister and Kanchipuram district secretary V Somasundaram jointly inaugurated Vijayakanth's special flower portrait, which was decorated with flowers at the DMDK district secretary Ekambaram at Pookadai Chatram area of Kanchipuram. DMDK executives and volunteers from various parties, including the DMK, AIADMK, BJP, VCK, and Makkal Needhi Maiam, paid tribute to Vijayakanth by sprinkling flowers.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, Vijayakanth's son Shanmuga Pandian took to Instagram stories to thank all the people for paying their last respects to his father and being his supporters. He wrote, "Thank you all for extending your heartfelt condolences. And to the thousands and lakhs of people who showed up to pay their respects while standing on roads and bridges, your support shows us the kind of legacy our dad has left behind. The kind of life he has lived and the love he has earned. All your support provides solace to our family as we come to terms with this loss. Rest in peace, Dad and our captain."
He posted a photo of his father strolling through the crowd. Notably, on December 29, thousands of fans and supporters of Vijayakanth poured into the Island Ground and DMDK offices to pay last respects to their beloved Captain Vijayakanth.
Later, the DMDK chief and veteran actor Vijayakanth was laid to rest with full state honours following rituals this evening in the Desiya Murpoku Dravida Kahzgam (DMDK) office at Koyambedu in Tamil Nadu's Chennai. Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin, Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundarajan and other senior ministers participated in the last rites of Vijayakanth at the DMDK office. A procession was carried from the island grounds to the Koyambedu DMDK Office. People were queued up at Poonamalle Road on both sides and poured their love to Vijayakanth.
Seeing the crowd and love towards Vijayakanth, his wife Premalatha Vijayakanth and his two sons, who were in a procession vehicle, broke down. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi, Tamil Nadu Ministers Udhayanidhi Stalin, M Subramanian, Thamo Anbarasan, BJP State President Annamalai, Makkal Needhi Maiyam Chief and Actor Kamal Hassan, Actor Rajinikanth and many others paid their tribute to Vijayakanth in Island Ground, where his mortal remains were kept for homage. Personalities shared their condolences with Vijayakanth's wife and DMDK General Secretary Premalatha Vijayakanth, his brother-in-law Sudheesh and his two sons, Vijay Prabhakaran and Shanmuga Pandiyan.
Supporters stood in a long queue on December 28 early in the morning and paid their respects at Island Ground, Anna Salai, Chennai. Later, Vijayakanth's mortal remains were taken in a procession from Island Ground to the DMDK office. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, Minister M Subramanian, Thangam Thennarasu, Thamo Anbarasan, KN Nehru, Udhayanidhi Stalin, MP TR Baalu, Telangana Governor, Pondicherry lieutenant Tamilisai Soundarajan, former Chief Minister O Pannerselvam, and former AIADMK Minster Jayakumar participated in the final rights at DMDK Office.
With full state honours, Vijayakanth was laid to rest in their party office. Rituals were also part of Vijayakanth's final rites. Vijayakanth has acted in more than 150 films and is known for action movies. As Nadigar Sangam's President, President Vijayakanth has helped cinema artists.
Vijayakanth founded his party in 2005 called 'Desiya Murpoku Dravida Kazhgam'. In the 2011 State Elections, Vijayakanth DMDK won 26 seats out of 41 contested seats and became the principal opposition party. (ANI)

In mid-December the state government released a long-awaited bill to end conversion practices.
Conversion practices are attempts to change, suppress or eradicate same-sex attraction or transgender identity by convincing LGBTIQA+ people we are 'broken' and can be 'fixed' through everything from counselling to exorcism.
Some people don't believe such things happen any more and that, if they do happen, they can be brushed aside by survivors when they realise they've been duped.
But research commissioned by the state government shows five per cent of LGBTIQA+ Tasmanians have been through formal conversion practices.
This is corroborated by research from La Trobe University that found 2.5 per cent of young LGBTIQA+ Tasmanians have been through formal conversion practices in the last twelve months alone.
Local and national research also shows conversion survivors are 3 to 4 times more like to have PTSD and attempt suicide than other LGBTIQA+ people.
Given the futility of conversion practices you might assume those who undertake them quickly walk away.
In fact, many are told and believe it is their own fault for not trying hard enough. That is when the real psychological trauma begins.
Unfortunately, the government's attempt to ban these harmful practices is so ineffective it will have the opposite effect of actually encouraging them.
There are three major problems with the bill.
Its definition of conversion practices is narrow and inaccurate with a focus on practices that no longer occur and no mention of practices designed to suppress same-sex attraction, effectively allowing practices that promote celibacy.
Second, the bill has exemptions for "religious belief", "parental guidance", "assistance" and "support", which could easily include conversion practices because there's no definition of any of those terms.
It also has an exemption if the practices are "consenting".
Most people who undertake conversion do so voluntarily, often because of a lifetime of hearing they are broken or flawed.
But this is not the same as "informed consent" which is impossible when we're dealing with a fraudulent treatment for a non-existent condition.
The third major problem is there are no civil penalties, just criminal, which sets the bar for prosecution so high virtually no-one will be held to account.
Plus there is no body to investigate conversion practices, or educate faith communities and medical professionals.
None of this would be a problem if the government had looked to other states with conversion legislation, or listened to the advice of Tasmania's brave survivor advocates or implemented the recommendations of the Tasmanian Law Reform Institute which issued a landmark report on this issue in May 2022.
Despite the premier's commitment to implement the TLRI's recommendations, just 3 of those 16 recommendations can be found in the bill.
This has left us with a bill that will give a green light to most common and harmful conversion practices.
It would encourage practitioners in states with better legislation to set up shop in Tasmania.
It sets a terrible precedent for other states that don't yet have conversion legislation.
That's why we have called for the bill to be scrapped and redrafted.
But that still leaves the question, how did the state government get it so wrong?
The fundamental problem is that the government has failed to understand what conversion practices are.
It doesn't understand that these practices are inherently deceptive, masquerading as piety, therapy or parental rights.
It doesn't understand that despite the masquerade, it is easy to spot conversion practices when you understand they are all based on the same false, misleading and discredited pseudo-science about sexuality and gender, and have the same intention to turn people into something they are not.
If the government acknowledged these facts in the bill, as other states have in their conversion laws, it would be able to draw the line between conventional religious beliefs, health practices and parental guidance on the one hand and conversion practices on the other.
It would understand that consent to deceptive, fraudulent quackery is not possible.
It would understand the need for a range of remedies, and a dedicated body to investigate and educate.
I know this isn't the only underlying problem: it's said social and religious conservatives in the Liberal Party have the upper hand on this issue.
But even if that's true it doesn't mean all is lost.
If conservatives can be shown that traditional values are quite distinct from conversion practices they will come to understand that prohibiting the latter won't impinge on the former.
The people who have the best chance of successfully making this case are conversion survivors, some of whom are still people of faith.
That's why I urge the government to listen more to survivors, and it's why we will be using the consultation period on the government's bill to ensure their voices are properly heard.
Tasmania has an opportunity to have the most effective conversion law in the nation.
We have a landmark report, articulate survivors and in-depth local research.
The challenge ahead is to use the government's flawed legislation as a prod and prompt for doing better. | https://www.examiner.com.au/story/8473006/tasmanias-anti-conversion-bill-lacks-effective-protection/ | 2024-01-01T04:47:54Z |
Chandigarh, December 31
Special children of the Government Rehabilitation Institute for Intellectual Disability (GRIID) here will now be seen carrying degrees in their hands and donning black caps.
Vocational training at GRIID
There are around 80 students at Government Rehabilitation Institute for Intellectual Disability (GRIID), Sector 32, where several vocational training programmes are conducted to help them become self-reliant. Workshops on sewing, biodegradable sanitary napkins, spices and paper bags are also part of the training.
The institute has taken this new initiative for autistic children. It has decided to organise a convocation for the special children, similar to students of other colleges and universities. The Director, GMCH-32, Dr AK Atri, announced this decision on the completion of 25 years of GRIID in service.
There are around 80 students at GRIID where several vocational training programmes are conducted to help them become self-reliant. Workshops on sewing, biodegradable sanitary napkins, spices and paper bags are also part of the training.
Around 450 students have participated in sports events held abroad and won awards. Some special students, who were initially in regular schools, have now joined GRIID, where they receive speech and behavioural therapy from professionals which is crucial to their development. There is also an OPD-level rehabilitation clinic for children with intellectual disabilities, autism, cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities.
The hostel accommodates 25 students who are not from the tricity. According to doctors, parents need to be aware of intellectual disabilities (mental retardation). Early diagnosis makes the journey easier for a child’s brain development. Established in 1964 at Sector 31, the Government Rehabilitation Institute for Intellectual Disability is helping autistic children stand on their own feet.
While it began in 1964 with a few children, it now fulfils every need for day-care facilities required by specially-abled kids. This initiative was the vision of the former Director of GMCH-32 and GRIID, Dr BS Chavan, who had the aim of creating an institution without any discrimination for children.

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

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 1 (ANI): Ahead of the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla at Ayodhya, Saamana, the mouthpiece of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction), has launched a broadside against the BJP government at the Centre, raising concerns about its commitment to the of creating Ram Rajya model.
The editorial, published on Monday, January 1, 2024, focuses on the upcoming inauguration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and argues that the event risks becoming "more entangled in a political event than devotion." While acknowledging the significance of the temple for Hindus, the editorial criticised the government for using it for political gain.

"As far as India is concerned, there was a big political atmosphere in the last month of the year regarding the inauguration of Ram Temple. The temple of Lord Ramachandra is being inaugurated in Ayodhya in the first month of the new year. But this ceremony is more entangled in a political event than devotion. Ram temple is being built in Ayodhya; it is definitely a moment of pride and joy for all the Hindus across the country. But it is not right to chant the name of Ram and ignore the concept of Ram Rajya just for the sake of politics," noted the newspaper editorial.
Saamana further highlights the recent incidents of violence against women in Manipur and the silence of the government on the matter. "The rulers watched with open eyes the insult to women on the streets of Manipur," the editorial states, questioning whether this silence aligns with the principles of Ram Rajya, where justice and equality are paramount.
Saamana editorial also said that the INDIA bloc has posed a tremendous challenge to the BJP for the 2024 elections.
"Assembly elections were held in five states before the end of 2023. Apart from Mizoram, the BJP came to power in three states Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, while Congress won in Telangana. After this result, those in power at the Center are living under the illusion that they have won the Lok Sabha elections. If we look at the total votes cast in these four states, Congress got 4 crore 99 lakh 69 thousand 462 votes, while BJP got 4 crore 81 lakh 29 thousand 325 votes. Congress got 9 lakh 40 thousand 137 votes more than BJP. The meaning is clear, India Alliance has posed a tremendous challenge to the BJP for the 2024 elections," noted Saamana editorial. (ANI)

Adani raises $15 bn in equity, debt in comeback strategy after Hindenburg rout
- Country:
- India
Billionaire Gautam Adani's sprawling conglomerate has raised over USD 5 billion (Rs 41,500 crore) in equity and a double of that in debt this year as the apples-to-airport group made a comeback since being hit by a bombshell short seller report.
Adani, who was the world's second-richest man at the start of the year, saw almost USD 60 billion of his personal wealth erased after Hindenburg Research in a January 24 report accused his group of market manipulation and accounting fraud.
The group denied all allegations and reworked its strategy, fueling a comeback that now has the tycoon some USD 36 billion short of where he started the year and two notch and USD 12 billion shy of rival billionaire Mukesh Ambani.
Star investor GQG Partners bought stakes worth almost USD 4.3 billion in five group companies between March and August while Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) and French energy giant TotalEnergies poured in USD 770 million in renewable energy firm Adani Green Energy Ltd, according to company filings and stock exchange data.
Parallely, the promoters infused USD 4.6 billion in repaying loans against shares, servicing loans taken for cement acquisitions and supporting green investments.
While the equity raise helped shore up investor confidence, the group re-established its bankability with USD 6.4 billion of loans raised across five companies and refinancing of USD 3.5 billion debt taken to fund the 2022 acquisition of ACC and Ambuja Cement.
Alongside, it continued with its M&A, acquiring Sanghi cement for USD 431 million, 49.38 per cent in Indian Oil Tanking for USD 128 million, Karaikal port for USD 181 million and Coastal Energen for USD 420 million, filing and stock exchange data showed.
These together with scrapping of a USD 850 million coal plant purchase, reining in of expenses, and repayment of some debt were part of attempt to claw back the narrative by showcasing that equity can be raised not just from promoters but also global investors and that the group was a responsible borrower with prepayments and on-time payments of debt.
The group now prefers slow and steady growth over the breakneck, mostly debt-fueled, expansion spree of recent years. The Adani Group has rapidly diversified from its ports and coal-based businesses to airports, green energy, data centres, cement, digital services and media.
And the repayments and prepaying of borrowings, both by the conglomerates' units and the Adani family themselves, was a bid to convince investors that the group does not face any liquidity or solvency issues despite seeing almost USD 150 billion rout in market value at one point of time.
The strategy seems to be paying off with share prices of some of the 10 listed companies recovering all of the Hindenburg losses. But on a cumulative basis, Adani Group's market cap is about 25 per cent below its previous record of Rs 19.23 lakh crore, reached before the Hindenburg Research report published on January 24. This has been helped by Supreme Court observations that Hindenburg's report could not be considered as ''credible'' and nor should media reports be treated as ''gospel truth'' as also the US government's dismissal of the charges.
The Adani Group plans a Rs 7 lakh crore capital expenditure over the next decade for expanding its infrastructure business, according to a recent investor presentation by company management. Six companies, including power, ports, and airports, aim to utilize bond markets for funding. Around 80 per cent of funding will come from global debt issuances, with the remainder from domestic sources.
The surge in Adani Group stocks boosted Chairman Gautam Adani's wealth, reaching USD 84.3 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
This propelled him to the 15th position in the global rich list. Mukesh Ambani of Reliance Industries Ltd is ranked 14th with a wealth of USD 96.3 billion.

Thousands gathered at Launceston's biggest New Year's Eve event overnight as festivities and fireworks rained over the city.
Locals and visitors alike welcomed 2024 at Beerfest, enjoying the food, drink, music, and entertainment provided by more than 45 local and interstate vendors as the clock counted down.
The event at Royal Park - which has been continually running for 14 years - hosted a mix of young families and groups of revellers which added up to a crowd of roughly 10,000 new year's partygoers.
Comedy sessions, masterclasses, live demonstrations, competitions and music kicked off the major festivities ahead of two sessions of fireworks - the first at 9.30pm, after which most families bowed out for an earlier night for their young ones.
However, a majority of the new year's merrymakers stuck it out to the final bell, accompanied by musical acts including the appropriately named headliners, Midnight Juggernauts.
Thousands of shouts of "Happy New Year" erupted from Royal Park as the clock struck 12am and the first fireworks display of 2024 blessed the sky above the Tamar.
The event finished up its festivities at 12.30am, with plenty of the attendees heading on to house parties across the city - but not before they made a few new year's resolutions.
What are some of Launceston's resolutions?
Max Bell
Of Launceston
"My new year's resolution is becoming a better bowler in cricket. I want to be able to bowl straighter and I think if I practice I'll be able to do that by the end of the year. I'm good at fastness but not at throwing it straight!"
Stephen Wilkins
Of Launceston
"I want to help the world know the great joy of mead, the spirit. I make the mead for my business, but I think everyone should enjoy it. Mead is like the spirit of bees; you take honey, the most expensive sugar in the world, and you distil it. It's delicious and I think sharing that uniqueness with the world is so important."
Lauren Hawkins
Of Launceston
"My new year's resolution is to work less. I've never had a new year's night off from work in my adult life. I think I've had that same resolution every year and it hasn't gotten any better! I work more every year!" | https://www.examiner.com.au/story/8473019/launceston-welcomes-the-new-year/ | 2024-01-01T04:48:01Z |
It’s highly offensive, but that’s not the problem with Ricky Gervais’ Armageddon
By Ben Pobjie
There’s a little sinking feeling that hits when, in the first couple of minutes of Ricky Gervais’s latest stand-up special Armageddon, he cracks out the word “woke”.
There’s something about that word: it tends to act as a signal that what follows is going to be some hard-right reactionary old-man-shouting-at-clouds tedium. Which is exactly what Gervais’s most strident critics expect from him, of course.
His previous special, Supernature, drew strong criticism for his jokes about trans issues, and for seeming to cross a line between ‘I don’t care who I offend’ to ‘I enjoy offending people’.
Armageddon, presently the number 1 show on Netflix in Australia, is arguably not as provocative as Supernature. But there does still seem to be an attempt to court controversy from a man who has proved himself invincible to cancel culture despite being high on the list of what might be termed problematic celebrities.
This doesn’t mean it’s as funny as Gervais can be, his focus in Armageddon seems to be on being edgy, rather than being hilarious.
Gervais’ musings on “woke” do not descend to Fox News-level lefty-baiting, and his mockery of those who might occasionally be tagged with that epithet is for the most part amusing enough.
But the very fact he pulls out such a tired, played-out term is suggestive of a certain lack of sharpness: a little laziness of thought that does not permeate the special, but does occasionally seep in, to the show’s overall detriment.
The show is not, thank goodness, all about wokeness, though Gervais’ delight in poking fun at modern sensitivities is always evident. His main subject, as usual, is the arrogance and stupidity of the human race, whether that takes the form of ludicrous cultural policing of movies, petty fixations on language, or our species’ peculiarly hubristic march to self-destruction – as hinted in the show’s title.
There are superb bits on humans’ tendency to overlook what’s important in favour of their own narrow obsessions – a sequence on a website’s monitoring of animal cruelty in Schindler’s List leads to some big laughs. Gervais is also quite happy to include himself in the mass of humanity at which he takes aim, and many of those who have absorbed a social media-based view of the man might be surprised at the level of self-awareness his comedy possesses.
At less inspired moments, however, there’s a sense that the star started with an idea to piss someone off, and worked backward to find a joke. Jokes about paedophilia and disability are clearly written with no concern for anyone’s feelings, which is no problem in itself, but you may find yourself wishing he’d edited his script more with an eye to maximum comedic impact rather than cheering his own willingness to offend quite so much.
Then again, the normal province of the stand-up is to rant about what irritates them, and people who are too sensitive to jokes really do irritate Ricky Gervais. Like his other specials, Armageddon is punctuated by asides on the nature and the purpose of humour, and frustration that the world is too full of people who take jokes both too literally and too seriously.
Previously Gervais has been pilloried in particular for his material on the transgender community, and even while he revels in the anger of his critics and the notoriety it affords him, it obviously does still rankle him to some extent that his jokes have been seen as harmful, particularly when contrasted with other problems of the world.
There are no rants on gender in this special, but the odd mention crops up, seemingly more as a nod to what he sees as the absurdity of past criticisms than anything particularly related to the subject at hand.
It is, to some extent, a fool’s errand to review a stand-up comedy show, because it is a self-reviewing artform. When you get on stage and tell jokes, the audience will either laugh or they won’t, and that reaction makes anything a critic can say kind of irrelevant.
He’s one of the world’s most successful stand-ups, and no matter how much that might rankle with some, it gives him pretty much the perfect riposte to any critic.
Nevertheless, from someone who’s been a diehard fan of everything Gervais has done for a couple of decades, Armageddon feels like a piece of work unworthy of its creator’s great talents. There are plenty of laughs, but they just don’t seem as plentiful, or as memorable, as they have been in the past. If Gervais has begun to rest on his laurels, after all he’s achieved, you might not blame him, but as he finishes his set with some trademark “but seriously” material, the feeling that the blade, if not entirely dulled, could use some sharpening before the next outing, is inescapable.

Publish expenditure report every quarter
There is a need to fix the responsibility of the MC officials in case of a lapse, and recovery should be made from the authority concerned. Software should be arranged for proper heads of account in the MC at the onset of a financial year to avoid a lapse. Further, a quarterly expenditure report should be published in order to ensure transparency regarding the use of taxes.
Kirpal Singh, Chandigarh
Decisions are rectified if needed
Sometimes, decisions are taken in anticipation of something good. But in some cases, their practicality does not offer the desired results. In such cases, we take note and rectify it the way we did in the case of the employees’ GPS-enabled wrist watches: by terminating the contract.— Anup Gupta, CHandigarh Mayor
Set up committees to finalise decisions
The MC is already facing a liquidity crunch. The Central Government has its own limitations for granting financial assistance to the MC. Thus, the decisions to finalise the expenses to be incurred should be taken collectively. Committees comprising executives and elected members should be set up. Limits should be fixed for expenditures. The MC must seek the concurrence of the Chandigarh MP before expending an amount of Rs 5 crore or more.
NPS Sohal
Control expenditures by municipalities
To ensure transparency, there is a need to set up a board of officers to sanction expenditures. A concurrent audit is needed to prevent any wasteful expenditure. Limits of finance must be operated under the supervision of a competent authority. The expenditure of various branches must be sanctioned by a single authority.
Capt Amar Jeet
Make transactions transparent
Implement stringent budget oversight, conduct regular internal audits, enhance transparency in financial transactions, prioritise essential projects, and promote public awareness of expenditure. Encourage cost-saving initiatives, foster accountability and establish a responsive grievance mechanism for citizens to report misuse of funds.
Gaganpreet Singh, Mohali
Pilot AI spending watchdog
To check wasteful spending, empower officials with financial literacy boot camps, boost transparency with real-time expense dashboards, prioritise local eco-friendly procurement, incentivise cost-saving departmental challenges and pilot an AI spending watchdog. Creativity, transparency and citizen participation hold the key to unlocking a fiscally responsible future for the city.
Amanjot Kaur, Mohali
Ensure stringent audit procedures
The Chandigarh Municipal Corporation authorities should implement strict internal controls and audit procedures to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of public funds. There is a need to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the e-samparak centres for collecting water charges and other dues from customers. Reviewing and rationalising the expenditure on various schemes and projects, especially those related to water supply, sanitation, solid waste management, and urban development. Promote public participation and feedback in planning, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation of municipal services.
Gurdev Singh, Mohali
Conduct regular audits, do analysis
To prevent avoidable spending, authorities should prioritise transparent budgeting, conduct regular audits, establish accountability measures, enforce rigorous expense approval protocols, conduct cost-benefit analyses, provide financial training, utilise technology and involve members of the public in decision-making. Continuous improvement, benchmarking and legal compliance are essential for efficient financial management.
Prithvee Yakhmi
Lay down SOPs for use of funds
It is a matter of great concern that public money has been spent on unnecessary works. The need of the hour is to establish standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the utilisation of funds. Defaulters should be taken to task so that public money is not misused. Lastly, having an open and transparent policy on spending government funds is a must. A proper audit should be carried out so that no funds are misused.
Col TBS Bedi
Admn should think before granting funds
It is a matter of serious concern that taxpayers’ money is being wasted. The authorities of the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation must ensure that there is no needless expenditure. Each time the municipal corporation seeks money or funds from the Chandigarh Administration for its expenditure, every aspect should be checked before the grant of funds by the UT Administration.
Gurnam Singh Rathore, Chandigarh
UT Administrator should check spending
An authority should be established to approve or deny the civic body’s decisions pertaining to expenditure. Alternatively, the UT Administrator can keep tabs on wasteful spending. The MC has failed to bring about growth and development in the city. Even though the civic body has hiked the water and power charges in the city, it has not resolved issues like parking woes, traffic snarls, waste disposal and stray animal menace, among others.
Abhilasha Gupta, Mohali
Make planning of expenses transparent
Planning expenditures transparently with enhanced participation of all the stakeholders, especially the general public, will make the process and the outcome more progressive. The expenditure being incurred by the municipal corporation should focus on public welfare.
Brigadier Advitya Madan, Chd
Civic body should get its act together
According to the audit report, the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation has been spending carelessly. The Chandigarh Administration must step in and stop members of the civic body from visiting other cities and countries on the pretext of research work. Besides, no celebrations should be organised on the birthdays of dignitaries. Public rallies should be discouraged, as taxpayers’ money is being wasted on such events. The MC needs to get its act together.
Vijay Malia, Chandigarh
End training overseas of councillors
The tussle between the Chandigarh Administration and representatives of the MC must end immediately so that better decisions can be taken for the beautification of the city. The training of municipal councillors abroad or in other states must stop immediately to avoid unnecessary expenditure. Parking chaos on the premises of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the PGI and the Secretariat must be resolved on priority.
Wg Cdr JS Minhas (retd), Mohali
Consult finance experts of admn
The unjustified expenditure by the Chandigarh MC councillors and officials on various counts must be checked. Study tours for councillors to other cities have resulted in nothing. Smart watches for safai karamcharis failed to yield any positive outcome. Finance experts of the Chandigarh Administration must be consulted before any expenditure is planned.
MR Bhateja, NayaGaon
Break nexus between contractors, officials
It is alarming that the audit found several irregularities. The civic body could have avoided wasteful spending on certain projects if higher authorities had reassessed the works before approving them. Further, there is a need to break the nexus between politicians, contractors and officials. A thorough investigation should be conducted into the matter to fix accountability.
Vidya Sagar Garg, Panchkula
Avoid purchase of unnecessary material
The Chandigarh MC has long been notorious for wasteful spending. The civic body tends to expend taxpayers’ money carelessly. All tours for MC officials must be banned. The officials’ travel and dearness allowances must be deducted. Further, there is a need to cut down on the expenditure on vehicles. There is no need to purchase any unnecessary material.
Sumesh Kumar Badhwar
Crack down on those behind expenditures
In light of the recent audit report highlighting various unnecessary expenditures by the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation, the authorities should take strict action against those responsible for wasteful spending. The best way to cut down on needless expenditures and irregularities is to take timely action.
Adish Sood, Amloh
End study tours for councillors
First and foremost, the so-called “study tours” for the councillors must be stopped. These useless tours have not helped at all. An audit of the balance sheet should be held every month. All tea and lunch parties frequently organised to honour people should be banned.
Savita Kuthiala
Strip councillors, Mayor of all benefits
The development work totally depends on the budget allocated to the municipal corporation (MC). The civic body must end all unnecessary expenses or strip its councillors and the Mayor of all benefits. If the MC wants to cut down on expenses, it must cancel all tours for its councillors. It is a waste of taxpayers’ money. Civic work and significant projects suffer because of such unnecessary expenses. There has to be a strict audit of all the expenditures incurred, and any anomaly must be taken seriously. The taxpayers’ money should be utilised only for the welfare of the public and not for elected councillors and government officials.
Sanjay Chopra, Mohali
Set up committee to evaluate expenditure
A dedicated committee must be established by the authorities to evaluate and optimise expenditure policies. Updating financial management strategies must ensure adaptability to changing circumstances and evolving fiscal challenges. Public scrutiny and feedback on municipal expenditures can create an additional layer of accountability. For financial tracking, the administration should consider leveraging technology that can streamline the process, minimise manual errors and provide real-time insights into expenditure patterns.
Anita K Tandon, Mundi Kharar
Don’t levy fresh tax on residents
Chandigarh, as the capital city of two states, generates huge revenue. So the MC has enough funds to use. Every year, with a new Mayor taking charge, the priority of the civic body changes. The MC engages in excessive spending just for the sake of exhausting the funds. Unfortunately, it leaves no scope for expenditure during a fresh tenure. No new tax should be levied on the residents.
Col Balbir Singh Mathauda (retd), Chd
Devp works a waste of taxpayers’ money
Some “development works” are just a waste of taxpayers’ money. These funds can be used for the collection of garbage from areas across the city instead.
Harjinder Singh Sandhawalia, Chd
Civic body should re-evaluate priorities
The MC authorities should focus on undertaking essential development works based on the needs of the general public instead of investing in projects like the construction of an open-air theatre in Sector 48-C, which has been hanging fire for over five years. Besides, there should be a complete ban on study tours by members of the MC.
SS Arora, Mohali
MC should focus on needs of common man
An audit report highlighting various unnecessary expenditures by the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation should serve as an eye-opener for the civic body and the administration. The main focus should be on spending only on projects fulfilling the basic needs of the common man. Wasteful spending on ceremonial and luxury projects must be avoided.
Vijay Shukla
Pull the plug on study tours
Most of the elected bodies misuse taxpayers’ money. There should be no more study tours. The MC spends cores on unnecessary projects, but because of a lack of supervision, they use poor-quality material. Besides, the civic body must not splurge the taxpayers’ money on unimportant functions.
Sukhwant Bhullar
Ensure equal distribution of power
The authority to allow unnecessary expenditures is what draws people towards politics and government jobs. People with political sway and officers are behind such unnecessary expenses. The administration requires a complete overhaul. There is a need to ensure that power is distributed equally. The higher authorities alone should be making decisions regarding expenditure.
Avinash Goyal, Chandigarh
Residents’ audit can prevent expenditure
The Chandigarh Municipal Corporation often spends taxpayers’ money wastefully. Tours for councillors to other states and nations have turned out to be unproductive so far. Likewise, our local councillors do not need any refreshment money. Only residents can be entrusted with the task of ensuring that only quality material is used in development works, such as the recarpeting of roads.
SK Khosla
Make example of those at fault
The question is: Why should we wait for the auditor’s report? All major expenditures should be pre-audited. Once an irregularity is detected, there should be a speedy inquiry. Strict action must be taken against those responsible for such wasteful spending so that an example can be made of them.
Sqn Ldr Manjit Singh Johar (retd)

Review: At Falafel Bar, WNY's best falafel, chicken schnitzel, and Israeli soul food
Every time I go to Falafel Bar, I order the falafel. Straight up, no wrap.
Six chickpea fritters with bronzed, crusty exteriors hiding tender-crumbed insides emerald with herbs. Tahini sauce, nutty with ground sesame, tangy with lemon, is my preferred sidekick.
Over the 20 years since Oded Rauvenpoor opened Mr. Greek, then a succession of Falafel Bars, I’ve followed his falafel to nine addresses. His current place on Sheridan Drive, a few blocks west of Millersport Highway, is a mile from the University at Buffalo’s Amherst campus.
That said, I’d drive to Eden to experience Rauvenpoor’s knack for putting paradise on a plate. At Falafel Bar, vegetarians, vegans, and animal fanciers can all eat well, making it one of the rare places parties of mixed appetites can dine in complete satisfaction. | https://fourbites.substack.com/p/review-at-falafel-bar-wnys-best-falafel | 2024-01-01T04:48:02Z |

How to make a New Year’s resolution stick, from the people who’ve done it
For many of us, the dawn of a new year means thinking about the kind of person we want to be in 2024. Each year, we vow to be fitter, more financially savvy, more charitable. Then, despite good intentions, we give up half way and promise to do better next year. So, rather than cajole you about why you need a New Year’s resolution or why most fail, we thought we’d go straight to the source and ask people who actually stuck to theirs.
Below, three Australians share how they smashed their goals in 2023, and what they learnt along the way.
‘I conquered my fear of ocean swimming’
In 2021, Senta Hoyne was on holidays when she encountered a near-death experience.“I found myself trapped in a dangerous un-patrolled surf and didn’t know if I was going to make it out alive.” Having always been a pool swimmer, she says she was never very confident in the ocean – something she decided to change at the beginning of 2023. By early December, the 47-year-old mother of three had achieved her goal of completing a two-kilometre ocean swim from Bondi to Bronte in Sydney’s east.
Being a night owl, the early mornings were a challenge at first. “I found the best thing was to not think about it and just move your body in the direction of where it needs to go. And by the time you’re fully conscious you’re too far committed to turn back,” she says. Hoyne started small, doing laps in the pool before choosing calm days to swim at Bondi. Her biggest fear to conquer, she says, was getting in and out past the waves.
Another challenge for Hoyne was asking to join a swimming group – she knew she’d need to be confident swimming with others if she were to compete in a race. She hesitated, asking herself, “was I going to be good enough? Fast enough? Will they look down on me because I’m a pool swimmer?”
Ultimately, Hoyne ended up joining three different groups, who she says were all “joyous and kind” despite her initial reservations. They also helped her become a better swimmer – one group helped increase her speed, while another helped hone her technique.
They also helped her overcome her fear. “Swimming with a group really made me realise that swimming in the ocean with its natural habitat and wildlife is a privilege and not something to be scared of.”
She says having time for herself each morning has been incredible for her mental health. “Being a mother of three young girls and being able to carve out time for yourself just sets you up for a win. You just feel that whatever happens that day you’re ready for it.” Hoyne adds that she’s proud to have shown her daughters they can achieve whatever they set their mind to.
‘I had dinner with a stranger each week’
At the beginning of 2023, Jessie Wright set out to have dinner with a stranger each week. A self-confessed introvert, her rather unconventional resolution was a bold step. The 30-something had moved to Melbourne during COVID and was going through a break-up. She was lonely, looking for new friends, and, after listening to an episode of former monk Jay Shetty’s podcast, set herself a weekly goal of having dinner with a friend. Wright posted about this resolution to her Instagram stories, prompting over 100 messages from women keen to have dinner with her.
She says the Thursday dinners were far more daunting than dating. “People go on [romantic] dates all the time, but there seems to be this natural understanding that it’s OK if they don’t like you. Whereas with friends, I just had this deep fear of going to meet these wonderful women and what if they didn’t like me?”
Wright, who has since gone viral on TikTok for her “dinner with 52 strangers” series, says her internet following helped hold her accountable. And she says no matter how bad her day, and how many times she wanted to cancel, she always came out feeling better for it. “There’s this magic thing about sitting down with somebody and getting to introduce yourself and getting to know someone. There’s nothing like sitting down and hearing about somebody else’s story or their life. These dinners had a really nice way of putting things in perspective for me.”
Besides gaining a host of new friends, Wright says she’s learned a lot about friendship itself through the process. “Sometimes we stay in our heads for a really long time about things. But I am just going to say to myself, ‘let’s just go for dinner with a new friend. You’re looking for new connections, do it, jump on it, let’s just make it happen.’”
“There’s something in that for me that I want to take into my everyday life moving forward.”
Her biggest piece of advice for those wanting to make new friends, is to be intentional. “We’re so intentional about dating. We’re so intentional about so many other aspects in our life. But when it comes to friends, we seem to be quite passive,” she says.
“The difference between 2023 versus 2022 for me is that I was really clear that I was looking to make new friendships. Being really clear with intentions and verbalising them has been a really big lesson.”
‘I rediscovered my love of reading’
For 30-year-old Lieza Jordan, her 2023 New Year’s resolution was all about investing in a hobby. “I used to be such a big reader when I was a child and as I grew up and got a little bit busier, I kind of dropped the ball on reading.” The Sydney-based communications coordinator set herself the goal of reading 25 books, which she had already exceeded by December.
At the beginning of the year, Jordan made a list of books she wanted to read, and aimed to finish about two per month. To help stay on track, she used the productivity software Notion, charting her progress using graphs and rating each book once she finished. BookTok, TikTok’s passionate community of avid readers, also became something of a virtual book club for Jordan – suggesting new books and connecting her with like-minded users. She says reading series also kept her motivated to complete her goal.
Jordan says her new reading habit has improved her day-to-day wellbeing by reducing her pre-sleep screen time and improving her mental clarity. “When I was reading before bed, I definitely felt like I had a better sleep,” she says. “At the same time, having that motivation to read when I woke up helped me get out of bed. I just felt like my brain was a little bit more switched on, instead of just scrolling through TikTok.”
Next year, Jordan is aiming to read 40 books, alongside smashing some other personal goals.

Chandigarh, December 31
Fraudsters have swindled two local residents out of over Rs 12 lakh.
A Sector 35 resident was duped of Rs 11.26 lakh. He alleged that he had sought escort service through a company. The fraudsters made him make multiple payments on account of various charges.
After paying Rs 5.89 lakh, the complainant asked for a refund. The police said responding to the complainant’s demand for a refund, the fraudsters requested him to make additional deposits. The resident had transferred over Rs 11 lakh over the past few months.
He realised that he had been duped and reported the matter to the police. The cybercrime police have registered a case of cheating and started investigation.
Meanwhile, a doctor was duped of Rs 91,000 by an imposter who posed as an Army man. The victim, a dermatologist from Sector 44, received a call from someone claiming to be Satish Kumar, an Army personnel stationed at Chandimandir, Panchkula. The caller sent a fake ID and Aadhaar card to the victim.
The imposter claimed that 95 Army personnel required consultation, and inquired about the consultation fee. He insisted for a video call to which the victim agreed.
During the call, the suspect tricked the victim into opening her Paytm account and adding her credit card details. Later, the doctor found that two transaction of Rs 45,500 each were made from her account. The police have registered a case and started investigation.

UFC star Aljamain Sterling Furious after ‘Disgraceful’ Grappling loss to Kevin Dantzler at Fury FC
Aljamain Sterling was extremely disappointed about his recent loss against Kevin Dantzler at Fury FC and didn’t hesitate to let the world know about it.
Looking to keep busy and enjoy some healthy competition while he recovers from the vicious knockout he suffered at the hands of Sean O’Malley, Sterling has been fairly active in the grappling scene. Back in September at Polaris 25, the ‘Funk Master’ defeated Mike Grundy via unanimous decision.
Aljamain Sterling looked to keep his newly found winning streak alive at Fury FC against Dantzler but went to another decision, and this time it did not go his way.
Aljamain Sterling Blasts Kevin Dantzler for his ‘Disgraceful’ performance
John Morgan would be the one to conduct Aljamain Sterling’s post-fight interview, and let’s just say Sterling was extremely frustrated.
“I don’t even know how they score that,” Sterling began (H/T MiddleEasy). “Another man can’t drag his ass cheeks on the mat and think that’s a win, doing absolutely nothing. I guarantee you, if that was a street fight, my man would never do that shit.”
Anticipating a more fiery contest, it makes sense that ‘Aljo’ would be disgusted with not only the judges’ decision but also his opponent’s lack of desire for an exciting match.
The crowd was enthused now, and a loud menagerie of boos and cheers could be heard wafting from the stands as Sterling continued: “Why are we turning the sport into some type of weird a weird spectacle where you could win a match off of your back doing absolutely nothing? If I did nothing, what the f*ck did he do?”
“I’m just saying, I want to have a fun match,” Sterling shouted. “I told you guys beforehand, I’m trying to get in his head a little bit. Maybe he’ll engage, pull guard from standing up. Don’t just start the match on your butt. That should be deducted a point right out of the gate. Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
The anger was palpable as the ‘Funk Master’ continued: “Let another man drag you by your ankles in front of your loved ones and friends because that is a disgrace!”

NEW YORK — For many, it is a useless annual exercise. But with midnight and waiting for the new year, the slate is wiped clean for a new round of resolutions.
From the first salvo of fireworks to the final chorus of “Auld Lang Syne,” there are 366 days ahead — because 2024 is a leap year — to finally achieve long-sought goals, to fulfill aspirations and to be firm with everyone New Year’s resolutions.
“As humans, we are aspirational creatures,” said Omid Fotuhi, social psychologist and motivation and performance researcher.
“The fact that we have goals, the fact that we want to set goals is nothing more than a manifestation of that internal and almost universal desire to want to stretch, reach, expand and grow,” added Fotuhi, director of learning innovation at Western Governors. University Labs and adjunct researcher at the University of Pittsburgh.
“New Year’s resolutions are one of the ways to do it,” he noted. “There is something very liberating about starting from scratch. Imagine starting with a blank canvas. Everything is possible”.
If so, could this be the year to run a marathon and conquer (or make peace with) old enemies like the bathroom scale? Maybe to learn Mandarin or register to vote and get to do it? Many questions and a lot of time to delay them.
Tim Williams used to set a battery of resolutions: lose weight, drink less, exercise more and blah, blah, blah.
Now, he doesn’t even bother.
“In the past I did them and failed or abandoned them or whatever,” said Williams, who lives part of the year in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Carla Valeria Silva de Santos, a Brazilian who lives in Florida, wants to learn to play the guitar. With Portuguese as her first language, she wants to learn Spanish and improve her English.
With any resolution, he noted, the ultimate goal is “to improve your life and be at peace with yourself.”
Josh Moore, another Fort Lauderdale resident, sees things along the lines of naturalist philosopher Sir Isaac Newton and physics. For every action there must be an equal reaction.
“If you do something like eat a lot of candy or a lot of desserts at a party, go for a run,” he said while breaking up a run with his dog.
Too many people are too soft on themselves, he noted: “You have to really hold yourself accountable.”
Resolutions don’t have to be big, grandiose or overly ambitious, Fotuhi added.
And even if they are, he noted that their value should not be derived exclusively from achievement, but should also be measured by what one becomes by trying to improve oneself.
“Goals just get you going,” Fotuhi said. “If they don’t do that, then maybe it’s not the right goal for you.”
In other words, it’s time to recalibrate goals and expectations, he said, adding that some people hold onto outdated goals for too long.
“If you set a goal that is too ambitious, that doesn’t have the effect of exciting you and making you believe that it is possible, then perhaps you should think about a goal that is a little more within your reach: start with 5 kilometers, for example, and then go up to 10,” he added.

Sydney [Australia], January 1 (ANI): Australian opener David Warner called time on a legendary ODI career on Monday, just a couple of days ahead of his farewell Test match against Pakistan in his home arena at Sydney Cricket Ground, marking an end of one of the most entertaining chapters of Australian white-ball cricket.
Since his ODI debut in 2009, the left-handed has been an entertainer to the core. Be it his massive sixes, his aggression, his big centuries during the Cricket World Cup, breaking records or dancing to the tunes of Indian film music or the love he has for his fans, there are a lot of reasons to put Warner in the list of one of the all-time greats.
Here is Warner's ODI career in numbers:
161- ODIs played by Warner, the 18th-highest by any Australian. The legendary Ricky Ponting (374 matches) is at the top.
6,932- Runs scored by Warner in the 50-over format. He is the sixth-highest run-scorer in ODIs for Australia, with Ponting (13,589 runs) at the top.

179- Warner's best ODI score, made against Pakistan in 2017 in 128 balls with 19 centuries and five fifties. It is the fourth-highest score in ODIs by an Aussie, with Glenn Maxwell's 201* against Afghanistan at the top.
97.26- Warner's ODI strike rate is fifth-highest among Australian batters, with Maxwell taking the top spot with a strike rate of 126.91.
1,527- Runs made by Warner in his ICC Cricket World Cup career in 29 matches, the sixth-highest by any batter, with Sachin Tendulkar (2,278 runs) at the top. Also, the second-highest Australian run-getter in WC history, with Ponting (1,743 runs) occupying the top spot.
6- Centuries scored by Warner in his ICC Cricket World Cup career, which is the most by an Australian batter and joint second-highest (with Sachin) behind Indian skipper Rohit Sharma.
2- Number of Cricket World Cups won by Warner in 2015 and 2023. Warner was a star in both tournaments, scoring 345 runs in eight matches and 535 runs in 11 matches respectively.
7- Number of centuries by Warner in 2016, the second-most in a calendar year behind Sachin's nine centuries in 1998 and most by an Aussie batter in a calendar year.
24- Number of fours by Warner during his knock of 173 against South Africa back in October 2016, the most by an Australian batter in an innings.
93- Number of innings taken by Warner to reach 4,000 ODI runs, the fastest Australian to do so and overall sixth-fastest to the milestone with Hashim Amla of South Africa at the top with 81 innings.

Being landlocked means Launceston locals have to head outside of town to get their summer beach fix - but that's alright: North and North-West Tasmania is spoilt for beautiful coastlines.
The hottest months of the year are the best time to take a day trip out to see the coastline of the Island State, and The Examiner has compiled a list of the very best to see this summer.
Boat Harbour
A white sand harbour between a rocky headland and the blue ocean, Boat Harbour is one of the state's most popular swimming sites for a reason.
Home to a beautiful surf club which straddles the sand, this northern swimming spot is roughly an hour outside Devonport and two hours from Launceston, which makes it perfect for a day trip in summer.
The sheltered beach dotted with rock pools is backed by the nearby Rocky Cape National Park, which acts a seaside bonus for travellers wanting to get a walk in before taking a midday dip.
Greens Beach
North-west from Launceston, at the mouth of the Tamar River, travellers will find Greens Beach - a place where the wild scrubland walks right up to the golden dunes.
Hedged by green on one side and the teal water on its other, this stretch of paradise is a perfect spot for a fish or a swim, and is home to scenic lookouts aplenty.
The best being the West Head lookout, a cliff top view that stretches as far as Table Cape and the Dial Ranges. Nearby, too, is the friendly seaside town of Greens Beach itself - where plenty of holiday spots to stay will entice the intrepid visitor.
Badgers Beach
Badgers Beach is a stretch of coastline and coastal walk where panoramic views can be found not far away.
A popular spot for swimming, Badgers is just around the headland from Greens Beach and down a marked track which zigzags up to Little Badger Head before descending into the secluded and picturesque Copper Cove.
A glorious place to watch the sun set, Badgers Beach is brimming with golden sands and and unbelievable views that can take anyone's breath away.
Godfreys Beach
Across from The Nut - an enormous, 25 million-year-old mountain of a headland bluff that is the town of Stanley's signature attraction - lies Godfrey's Beach.
Though it might be a bit colder than the other spots on this list - and not so kind to swimmers - this spot's view is what makes it worth the trip.
Family picnics whilst looking out to the wine-dark sea and the heady waves crashing against the cliff sides of The Nut are a soothing sight for lunch with a view.
Fossil Bluff Beach
Have you ever wanted to be an adventurer? An archaeologist? Because at low tide, the cliffs of Fossil Bluff Beach reveal everything their name implies.
Encased in the sandstone layers of this 23 million-year-old headland are the deposits of a rising sea, like the shells and crustaceans forever marking the bluff.
The granites, cherts, quartz, jaspers and agates that dot the beach as small pebbles, and the fossil formations etched in the headland, provide plenty of excitement for the explorer in all of us.
And there's a short walkway to the top of Fossil Bluff, with spectacular views of the coastline from the top, too. | https://www.examiner.com.au/story/8473096/looking-for-things-to-do-this-summer-try-northern-tasmanias-top-five-beaches/ | 2024-01-01T04:48:14Z |

Stephen Boyle says living on Dangar Island, on the Hawkesbury River, is a bit like Gertrude Stein’s famous adage about Majorca. “It’s paradise - if you can stand it.”
And now there is trouble in paradise. A Hornsby Shire Council decision to change about 70 parking spots in Brooklyn, on the mainland, from unlimited to a time limit of four hours caused mayhem for river residents who need to leave their vehicles there and boat over to their homes. Like other river hamlets, Dangar Island has no cars.
At a December 13 meeting, following a concerted campaign by those affected, councillors partially reversed course, agreeing to halve the number of time-limited spaces to 35. Boyle, president of the Dangar Island League community group, describes it as a “stay of execution”.
But the core problem, a lack of parking in Brooklyn at busy times, remains, while the debate has divided river residents from their mainland counterparts, who by and large supported the change.
“What you have achieved is to divide what was a harmonious community between the Brooklyn agitators and everyone else,” Stephen Bruggeman of the Brooklyn Mooring Cooperative told the meeting. “It’s such a shame what you’ve done to that amazing little community we had there.”
About 700 people live in Brooklyn and 300 on Dangar Island, with another 200 or so scattered around the river in hamlets such as Little Wobby. Though beautiful, island life is not for everyone. Shopping typically means taking your boat or the ferry to Brooklyn, then driving half an hour to Hornsby. The train comes once an hour.
If river residents can’t find a parking space near the wharf, they’re usually forced up a steep hill towards Upper McKell Park. If they have heavy groceries, they’ll drop the bags at the wharf while they look for parking. That has created its own issues: brush turkeys have been pilfering people’s unattended groceries.
Stephen Cribb from Little Wobby calls the hilltop carpark “the moon” because “it’s so far from the river you might as well be on the moon”. While it is, in fact, only 200 or so metres, the hill is steep, and the area is poorly lit at night.
“We have had shift workers trudging in the dark after very long shifts in very unsafe conditions,” Dangar Island’s Henry Innis told the December council meeting.
Innis’ speech was warmly received by the river residents who packed the council chambers that night, prompting Liberal mayor Philip Ruddock to issue a stern warning against clapping.
“Let me be very clear,” Ruddock said. “These meetings are orderly. We do not encourage applause, and I will clear the gallery if it continues.”
Advocates for restricted parking said the limited resources needed to be shared. While Brooklyn is usually sleepy during the week, on weekends and school holidays it teems with locals and visitors looking to fish, camp or get out on the water.
The lone councillor to oppose the policy backflip, Liberal Nathan Tilbury, said some river residents occupied the untimed spaces with their cars and trailers for days, weeks or even longer, squeezing out other users. “This is not car parking, this is car storage,” he said.
Brooklyn Community Association president Cindy Corkery begged councillors to “resist being swayed” by the river residents’ passionate pleas. “We do appreciate that some of our neighbours face hardships,” she said. “Please know, we hear you. However, we also hear the families who want safe access to the recreational opportunities and to our businesses.”
Hornsby Shire Council is working on a place plan for Brooklyn which will investigate longer-term solutions to parking woes. But Ruddock told the river residents he did not think the council would attain any funding from the state government “in the present political environment”.
He said he was disappointed river and mainland residents hadn’t been able to come up with a solution among themselves without the council getting involved.
“The only reason we came to have a council position was because of the failure to be able to achieve that outcome,” Ruddock said. “I would encourage you all to continue to talk to each other because this situation is only going to be able to be addressed when there is a degree of unity.”
Is that possible? Boyle, the Dangar Island community leader, thanked councillors for the partial backflip and says river dwellers know they must contribute to a long-term fix. But Cribb, from Little Wobby, had his doubts.
“Unfortunately, Brooklyn is being loved to death,” he said. “All the river people have just had their lives diminished. People are saying they have to leave. This is the straw that broke the camel’s back.”

Trump prepares to claim election fraud again with 2024 New Year’s message: Live
Ex-president claims ‘millions of people ... are illegally’ entering US to vote in 2024
Donald Trump doubles down on anti-immigrant rhetoric after Supreme Court decision
Donald Trump is preparing to claim election fraud again if he loses to President Joe Biden in the November 2024 election.
In a ranting New Year’s message on Truth Social, the former president wrote: “As the New Year fast approaches, I would like to wish an early New Year’s salutation to Crooked Joe Biden and his group of Radical Left Misfits & Thugs on their never ending attempt to DESTROY OUR NATION through Lawfare, Invasion, and Rigging Elections.”
“They are now scrambling to sign up as many of those millions of people they are illegally allowing into sour Country, in order that they will be ready to VOTE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2024,” he added.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump is reportedly concerned that some conservative justices on the Supreme Court – half of which he appointed – may rule against him after he was removed from the ballots in several states under the 14th Amendment’s ban on insurrectionists holding public office.
Advisers to Mr Trump are prepping to file challenges as soon as Tuesday to the decisions in Colorado and Maine, according to The New York Times.
It will be far harder for Trump to try to overturn a loss in 2024 than in 2020
The upshot is it will be far harder for Trump to try to overturn a loss in 2024 than in 2020. The most likely way he returns to the White House is by winning the election outright.
“It’s not to say the risks are gone,” said Rick Hasen, a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It’s to say we’ve successfully fought the last war.”
History is full of examples of authoritarians who first came to office by winning a legitimate democratic election. But the risk to democracy of someone legitimately winning an election is different than the risk of a candidate trying to overturn an election loss.
When Trump began to falsely claim he had won the 2020 election and urged Republicans to overrule their states’ voters and send his electors to Congress, every GOP official with the power to do that refused. The Republican leaders of the Michigan Legislature turned down his request to overrule voters.
In Georgia, where the presidential ballots were counted three times and affirmed Biden’s win, Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger earned Trump’s fury by rejecting him. So did then-Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and the Republican leaders of that state’s legislature.
Some Republicans did try to aid Trump. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton led a group of 17 GOP attorneys general in filing a lawsuit urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the election. The high court swiftly dismissed the case. Trump lost all but one of more than 60 lawsuits he and his allies filed in states to overturn the election, sometimes before judges he had appointed.
Trump in weaker position compared to 2020
It seems unlikely that Trump could return to the White House if he loses the election. That’s what he failed to accomplish in 2020, and he’s in a weaker position now.
His strategy then was to use Republican dominance in swing state legislatures, governorships and secretary of state offices to try to send slates of fake electors to Congress even though Democrat Joe Biden won those states and captured the presidency.
Since then, Republicans have lost two of those swing state secretary of state offices — in Arizona and Nevada — as well as the governor’s office in Arizona and control of the state legislatures in Michigan and Pennsylvania. In Congress, lawmakers passed a bipartisan bill closing some of the loopholes in the counting of Electoral College votes that Trump tried to exploit to stay in office, making it harder to challenge state certifications on the House floor.
Trump allies have been planning to seed the government with loyalists
Trump is running for the White House again and has been dominating the Republican primary as the first votes approach. He has called for pardoning those prosecuted for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, continues to insist falsely that the 2020 election was “stolen” and says he will use the federal government to seek revenge on his political enemies.
Trump has used increasingly authoritarian rhetoric as he campaigns for the GOP nomination. If he wins, allies have been planning to seed the government with loyalists so the bureaucracy doesn’t hinder Trump’s more controversial plans the way it did during his first term.
It’s gotten to the point that Trump was recently asked by conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt whether he planned to be a dictator: “Not at all,” Trump responded. “No, I’m gonna rule as somebody that’s very popular with the people.”
The 2024 election could cause all sorts of conflict, including scenarios that have notably not materialized despite widespread concern since 2020: violence at the polls, overly aggressive partisan poll watchers or breakdowns in the ballot count.
American democracy has overcome big stress tests since the 2020 election. More challenges are ahead
Over the past three years, the world’s oldest democracy has been tested in ways not seen in decades.
A sitting president tried to overturn an election and his supporters stormed the Capitol to stop the winner from taking power. Supporters of that attack launched a campaign against local election offices, chasing out veteran administrators and pushing conservative states to pass new laws making it harder to vote.
At the same time, the past three years proved that American democracy was resilient.
Former President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results failed, blocked by the constitutional system’s checks and balances, and he now faces both federal and state charges for those efforts. Then the voters stepped in. In every presidential battleground state, they rejected all candidates who supported Trump’s stolen election lies and were running for statewide offices that had some oversight of elections.
The election infrastructure in the country performed well, with only scattered disruptions during the 2022 midterms. New voting laws, many of which are technical and incremental, had little discernable impact on actual voting.
“Voters have stepped up to defend our democracy over the past few years,” said Joanna Lydgate, chief executive officer of States United, which tracks those who refuse to believe in the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election. “State and local officials have done a tremendous job in protecting our free and fair elections.”
So why all the worry? As Lydgate and anyone else who works in the pro-democracy field quickly notes, the big test — what Lydgate calls “the Super Bowl” — awaits in 2024.
Marjorie Taylor Greene claims both of her daughters’ homes have also been swatted
Georgia GOP Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene has claimed that both of her daughters’ homes were targeted in swatting incidents.
This comes after several similar incidents involving Ms Greene and a number of other public officials.
“Both my [daughters’] houses just got swatted today. Big thanks to the police who responded! We appreciate you and support you! Whoever is doing this, you are going to get caught and it won’t be funny to you anymore,” she wrote on X, tagging the FBI.
Ms Greene has called for the defunding of the agency.
A swatting incident is when someone makes a prank call to the emergency services to set up a response to a specific location, such as the home of a politician or other public figure, with the aim of getting the authorities, possibly a SWAT team, to appear at the address.
A number of recent false reports of shootings at the home of political leaders may now be leading to harsher penalties for those making the calls.
Those who have recently been targeted include Florida Senator Rick Scott, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Ms Greene, and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.
Presidential candidate Haley cheers on Iowa hoops star Caitlin Clark in between campaign stops
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley finally got her wish to see Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark, catching the fourth-ranked Hawkeyes in between campaign stops Saturday.
Haley walked into Carver-Hawkeye Arena alongside her son, Nalin, wearing an Iowa button on her jacket. The former South Carolina governor called Iowa coach Lisa Bluder a “rock star” and made a reference to her home-state Gamecocks, the current No. 1 team.
“We are used to women’s basketball in South Carolina,” Haley said. “We’re excited, so glad to be here. Go Lady Hawkeyes.” Last March, in an NCAA tournament semifinal, Clark scored 41 points as Iowa ended the perfect season of defending champion South Carolina.
Haley and her son sat with David Bluder, the coach’s husband.
Even as some fans approached Haley as she took her seat, all eyes were on Clark, the reigning Associated Press national player of the year.
Clark, who has earned fame and fortune with her once-in-a-generation game, has about 20,000 more followers on Instagram than does Haley, a former U.N. ambassador.
Special counsel Jack Smith hits back at Trump’s immunity claims
Special counsel Jack Smith has hit back at Donald Trump’s claim of immunity from criminal prosecution in a new court filing.
Mr Smith’s office argued in a Saturday filing that Mr Trump’s claim “threatens to license Presidents to commit crimes to remain in office.”
The filing came in the federal election subversion case ahead of 9 January oral arguments before a US appeals court in Washington DC, reported CNN.
“The defendant asserts (Br.1) that this prosecution ‘threatens … to shatter the very bedrock of our Republic.’ To the contrary: it is the defendant’s claim that he cannot be held to answer for the charges that he engaged in an unprecedented effort to retain power through criminal means, despite having lost the election, that threatens the democratic and constitutional foundation of our Republic,” Mr Smith wrote.
“This Court should affirm and issue the mandate expeditiously to further the public’s — and the defendant’s — compelling interest in a prompt resolution of this case,” he added.
Mr Trump has pleaded not guilty to four counts, including conspiring to defraud the United States and to obstruct an official proceeding.
The one-term president has appealed a district court’s ruling that he is not entitled to immunity for any crimes committed while he was in the White House.
In his filing, the special counsel’s office stated that it would be dangerous to give a president that kind of broad immunity.
Senior Democrat says Clarence Thomas should recuse himself in Trump case
Maryland Democratic Rep Jamie Raskin has called on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from the court’s hearing on former President Donald Trump’s claim that he’s immune from prosecution on charges stemming from his actions as commander-in-chief.
“The Supreme Court has developed what they’re describing as a code of ethics. It’s not binding in the sense that they’re not going to anyone else,” Mr Raskin, the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, told CNN on Sunday. “They could have gone to for example circuit court justices, so they’re deciding for themselves again whether they’re in violation of their code of ethics.”
“But anybody looking at this in any kind of dispassionate, reasonable way would say, ‘if your wife was involved in the big lie, in claiming that Donald Trump had actually won the presidential election and had been agitating for that and participating this the events leading up to January 6th, that you shouldn’t be participating’,” Mr Raskin, a former constitutional law professor, added.
“He absolutely should recuse himself. The question is, what do we do if he doesn’t recuse himself?” he said regarding Justice Thomas.
‘Trump is now promoting the nonsense idea that he wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act amid the violence on Jan 6'
Trump to hold rally in Iowa on third anniversary of Capitol riot
Former President Donald Trump is set to hold a campaign rally on the third anniversary of the 2021 Capitol riots.
The former president will hold a “Commit to Caucus Rally” in Newton, Iowa, on 6 January 2024, three years after a mob of his supporters stormed the US Capitol, resulting in five deaths and several injuries. More than 1,000 people have been arrested in connection to the riot, and more than 500 have been sentenced.
Mr Trump is currently facing four federal counts regarding his role in the January 6 riots: obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights. In Maine and Colorado, Mr Trump has even been removed – pending any appeals – from the 2024 ballot for his role in the 6 January riots.
Thad Nearmyer, chair of the Jasper County, Iowa Republican party, told The Daily Beast he didn’t initially think anything of the date.
“And then a little bit later it kind of occurred to me that that date has some significance,” Mr Nearmyer said.
He went on to minimize the impact of the deadly insurrection: “It wasn’t nearly as big of a deal as it was made out to be.”

Bryce Young Takes Out Frustrations From Rough Day on His Tablet
The Carolina Panthers suffered their 13th loss of the season on Sunday after losing 26–0 to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Quarterback Bryce Young, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft, was understandably frustrated with how his rookie season has turned out thus far. More specifically, he was upset about his Week 17 performance.
Young was caught by cameras in a moment of frustration as he slammed a tablet to the ground on the sidelines in the second quarter of the game. He appeared to say something to himself afterward, but it’s unclear what he said. His emotion was clear, though.

On the drive before this moment on the sidelines, Young was sacked for a loss of 10 yards to force the Panthers to go three-and-out. He was sacked a total of six times in the game. This season, Young has been sacked in every single contest.
Young completed 19-of-32 passes for 112 yards and one interception.

"India will become world's number one economy by 2040": Dharmendra Pradhan
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan asserted on Sunday that the country will become the world's number one economy by 2040.
- Country:
- India
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan asserted on Sunday that the country will become the world's number one economy by 2040. "India's economy stands at the fifth position in the world...By 2040, India will become the number 1 economy in the world...This is not possible without planning and preparation," Pradhan said while speaking to reporters.
He said that in order to achieve the target of becoming the world's number one economy, "Skilled Hub' has been conceived. Earlier today, Dharmendra Pradhan flagged off the "Skills on Wheels" initiative with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) from Odisha's Sambalpur.
Under the collaboration, a customised bus with retrofitted tools will promote the 'Skill India Mission' initiative through 'Skills on Wheels' and will travel across the length and breadth of aspirational and backward districts. The initiative is aimed at spreading awareness at the grassroots level about free skill training programmes that enable youth to profoundly change the trajectory of their lives through robust skill training.
Aligned with this mission, this partnership with IndusInd Bank is aimed at empowering the youth of the nation through the 'Skills on Wheels' project. The objective of Skills on Wheels is to enable a large number of youth to take up industry-relevant skill training that will improve their theoretical as well as practical knowledge and help them secure a better livelihood by bringing necessary synergy, oversight, and effective coordination.
It aims to bridge the gap between the skilled people required in the industry and the unemployed youth by ensuring that the right candidate with a passion for a particular job chooses the right course according to his/her academic background, aptitude, and skill set. (ANI)
