kyiv’s forces barely maintain their positions in Avdiivka, a town that the Russian army is trying to surround to dominate the central area of Donetsk.
These days, Russia announced the capture of Marinka, a nearby town that would provide Russian forces with “a larger operational space,” said Vladimir Putin. Ukraine highlights the large number of casualties suffered by Russia in that operation, which amounts to 13,000 dead and hundreds of tanks destroyed, according to its calculations.
At the other end of the front, the beachheads on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River, conquered by Ukrainian marines, are hotbeds of persistent Russian counterattacks, which use fighter planes, missiles and even chemical weapons, according to spokesmen for the Ukrainian special forces, whose elite group, Center 73, attempts to penetrate the Russian rear in Kherson.
While increasing its land advances, Russia intensifies daily bombings against the energy, food and industrial infrastructure of Ukraine, as DIARIO LAS AMÉRICAS anticipated in previous editions.
The growing number of Shahed kamikaze drones, which Russia now produces on its territory, give it almost unlimited offensive capabilities in the air, as does its growing deployment of next-generation Su-34 and Su-35 fighter-bombers, armed with hypersonic missiles. medium-range Onyx, Iskander and KH-59 with 250 kg warheads.
Counteroffensive
The Ukrainian air force claims to intercept many of the aircraft. In recent days it celebrated the downing of three Su-34s, which risked entering its airspace to launch half-ton guided bombs. They were intercepted by a Patriot system, which the United States provided, 70 km from their alleged target in an industrial area.
About 15% of the Shaheds, released in packs of more than 30 or 40, manage to penetrate conventional radar coverage. They are launched from Crimea and various control points installed in occupied territory, approaching their objectives from various directions, according to Ukrainian defense spokesmen.
A few days ago, drones reached the thermal power plant and the main grain warehouse of the port of Mykolaiv in Odessa, where the warning sirens do not stop sounding this Christmas.
“Russia seeks to overload the Ukrainian defensive network, opening holes through which to launch massive attacks on cities with hypersonic missiles, much of which it keeps in reserve,” said Professor Michael Clark of the Royal United Services Institute in London, a semi-official institution of the British Ministry of Defense.
Armas
Ukraine only has three Patriot batteries, one of which was supplied by Germany, which has also donated its own Iris T system and the Gepard, which consists of 35 mm automatic AA cannons mounted on tankettes, highly effective against drones. During the last week, Japan announced the donation of a Patriot battery to protect the port of Odessa, a global food transit terminal where Russian hypersonic missiles have been depleting the facilities.
Tokyo has acted despite threats from the Kremlin. Russian warships have been participating in joint exercises with the Chinese navy in the Sea of Japan, where a Russian cruiser tested anti-ship missiles. Moscow has also pledged to support North Korea’s navy, which has recently developed nuclear submarines.
The ‘shield’ of Ukraine It is becoming a major operation with increasing risks for its allies as their own arsenals are diminished by the transfer of weapons to kyiv. Each Patriot battery, consisting of 60 SAMs, launch vehicle and radar station, costs $1 billion. Its maintenance and supply entails incalculable long-term costs. It will be equally expensive to maintain and arm the 42 F-16 fighters promised to Ukraine, 18 of which will be deployed to the theater of operations at the beginning of the year, according to the I’LL TAKE.
The provision of these highly complex defense systems, now essential for Ukraine’s short-term survival, forms a substantial part of the $62 billion in military aid pending approval by the US Congress along with $40 billion in financial and humanitarian aid.
The aid package is stalled in negotiations between the White House and the House of Representatives, whose Republican majority conditions its support for strengthening border security with Mexico, which President Biden is reluctant to grant.
Aid of 55 billion for Ukraine is also blocked in the European Union by Hungary’s veto at the recent meeting of the 27 member countries. Hungarian President Viktor Orban could be using the Ukraine issue to pressure Europeans to release the $25 billion in subsidies for his government, withheld as a sanction for his alleged undemocratic practices.
Zelensky
As Russia increases its military and diplomatic pressure, and as the hitherto enthusiastic international support for the Ukrainian cause becomes enmeshed in the internal policies of NATO allies, President Zelensky seems to be losing popularity in his own country.
Accusations of authoritarianism arose when the head of his army, General Valeri Zaluzhin, criticized the immediate dismissal of the military responsible for the recruitment, alleging corrupt practices, at a time when the military leadership is calling for the mobilization of 500,000 men to continue the fight against Russia.
Criticism has also emerged from former advisers, who question the planning of last summer’s failed counteroffensive and Zelensky’s “overly aggressive” rhetoric that may have been necessary during the early stages of the Russian invasion.
Moves are also suspected by the former president and banned opposition leader Petro Poroshenko, who was prevented from leaving the country to meet with Orban, which was harshly criticized by the mayor of Kiev, Vitalii Klitchko, who said then that Ukraine was It looks “more like Russia every day.”
Both internal and external criticism has fallen on Zelensky for his decision to cancel elections that were due to be held in the coming months, citing the Constitution of Ukraine, which prohibits elections under martial law that has governed the country since the war began. “It would be a bad idea, while part of the country cannot participate in the vote,” Professor Clark commented. “Lines of voters forming at the polls could also be perfect targets for Russian missiles,” he noted.
Putin held a press conference indicating his willingness to undertake negotiations “based on Russian interests,” after visiting Saudi Arabia, which has been advocating for an agreed solution in Ukraine.
According to a report from New York Times, Putin has been promoting such rapprochement through “unofficial channels,” which may have gained momentum on his recent tour. Kremlin leaders indicate that Russia is seeking an agreement guaranteeing its control of the land already occupied, according to the newspaper’s sources.
Despite recent gains on the battlefield, the cost of the war in resources and lives may weigh on the regime in elections scheduled for next year. Although candidates opposed to the war have been disqualified from the elections, the Kremlin fears that demonstrations by women who have lost children and husbands, which are becoming more frequent every day, will undermine the elections.
Russian casualties could soon approach 400,000 men, according to NATO estimates. At press time, another Russian flagship resting in Crimea was destroyed by Storm Shadow missiles donated by the United Kingdom. With this latest blow, Russia is estimated to have lost 20% of its Black Sea fleet, according to the British Ministry of Defense. | https://california18.com/another-tough-year-for-ukraine/11946292023/ | 2024-01-01T04:48:17Z |

LONDON-. Arsenal lost for the second consecutive time with the 2-1 defeat on Sunday against Fulham and thus lost the opportunity to finish the year at the top of the league table. Premier League.
Bukayo Saka opened the scoring for Arsenal after five minutes, but the visitors were outplayed the rest of the way and Mexico’s Raúl Jiménez equalized in the first half before Bobby De Cordova-Reid fired in the winning goal in the 59th.
Arsenal spent Christmas at the top of the standings but will start 2024 in fourth place after their second straight defeat after losing at home for the first time in the campaign on Thursday against West Ham. A win at Fulham would have taken Mike Arteta’s side back to the top above Liverpool in a close fight for the top four places.
But the Gunners have just one win in five league games and this is possibly their worst performance in that period. Arteta will have to assess whether they need to strengthen the attack in the January transfer window as the team struggled to create opportunities after their first goal.
Gabriel Martinelli did the dirty work for the first goal, advancing with the ball from his half into the opponent’s six-yard box to shoot towards the post, but Bernd Leno deflected the shot straight to Saka.
Fulham responded well and had two decent chances before Jimenez scored in the 29th minute. The Mexican scored four goals in four league games — tying his mark in the previous 50 games.
Fulham continued to be the most dangerous team and ended with the winning goal from De Cordova-Reid.

Cyclist Rohan Dennis drove ute that killed Olympian wife Melissa Hoskins
By Jacob Shteyman, Roger Vaughan and Lachlan Abbott
Two-time Olympian and former world champion cyclist Melissa Hoskins has died after she was struck by a ute her Olympic cyclist husband Rohan Dennis was driving in Adelaide’s inner north.
Paramedics rushed Hoskins to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with serious injuries after she was hit in the suburb of Medindie on Saturday night.
The 32-year-old mother of two died overnight.
Police arrested her husband, 33-year-old former professional cyclist Dennis, who was driving the ute. He has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care and endangering life. Dennis was bailed to appear in Adelaide Magistrates Court in March.
Hoskins won gold in the team pursuit at the 2015 world championships and rode in the team pursuit at two Olympic Games. She finished fourth at the 2012 London Games, but a serious training crash caused her to eventually miss the 2016 Rio final.
Dennis retired from the sport last year, having won stages at all three grand tours – the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a Espana.
Anna Meares, one of Australia’s greatest track cyclists and a two-time Olympic gold medallist, mourned Hoskins on social media.
“I have a very heavy heart,” Meares wrote on Monday morning. “My thoughts are with their children, family and fellow friends. This is a very difficult and tragic time. RIP.”
Mike Tomalaris, a former long-time SBS cycling presenter and Tour de France host, said on social media Hoskins’ death and Dennis’ arrest was “difficult to comprehend”.
“This is so sad. A disaster,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Heartbreaking!”
CPA Women, the international association of professional female cyclists, said it was shocked by Hoskins’ death.
“We send our thoughts to those who love her, starting with her children, and were lucky enough to ride with her during an all too short life,” the union said on social media. “We will miss you Melissa.”
AusCycling chief executive Marne Fechner said Hoskins’ retired at 25 but had “shown the world she was an athlete of rare prowess”.
“It was with shock and sorrow that we learned of Melissa Hoskins’ tragic death,” she said.
“Melissa, a mother, daughter, and wife, was also a champion cyclist who thrilled and inspired us with her exquisite skills on the track and road.”
She said the organisation would determine an appropriate way to memorialise the cyclist and her contribution.
SBS cycling commentator Matthew Keenan also paid tribute.
“My thoughts are with Melissa Hoskins, her kids, family and friends. #RIP,” he posted on X.
Australian pro-cyclist Tiffany Cromwell said on Instagram she “can’t quite believe the news”. “A life gone far too young. RIP Mel,” she wrote.
Born in Perth in 1991, Hoskins also competed in road cycling between 2012 and 2015 with Australian professional team GreenEDGE. She married Dennis in February 2018, following her retirement from cycling the previous year.
Police said major crash officers attended the scene of the death along with detectives from the Criminal Investigation Branch to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Dennis twice won stages of the Tour de France in 2015, including stage one after which he held the yellow, green and white jerseys concurrently. He is a two-time Olympic medallist, won a silver medal for the team pursuit in 2012 and a bronze medal for the men’s individual time trial in 2021. He also claimed the world hour record in 2015.

Ex-cycling world champion Dennis reportedly charged after Olympian wife killed by vehicle
Former world champion cyclist Rohan Dennis is reported to have been charged in connection with the death of his wife, Olympic cyclist Melissa Hoskins, who died after being struck by a vehicle while riding in Adelaide
Ex-cycling world champion Dennis reportedly charged after Olympian wife killed by vehicle
Show all 2Former world champion cyclist Rohan Dennis was reported to have been charged in connection with the death of his wife, Olympic cyclist Melissa Hoskins, who died after being struck by a vehicle while riding in Adelaide.
Australian media reports said Dennis had been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, endangering life and driving without due care. The reports said he had been released on bail to appear at the Adelaide Magistrates Court in March.
Hoskins, 32, competed for Australia at the London and Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
Police said emergency services were called to an address in Medindie, an Adelaide suburb, around 8 p.m. Saturday, following reports a woman had been struck by a vehicle.
Police said the woman, later identified as Hoskins, suffered serious injuries and died after being taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
Hoskins competed at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics on the track in the team pursuit and was in the squad that won the 2015 world title in the event.
"Melissa described her team pursuit gold medal at the 2015 world championships as the highlight of her career but for the rest of us, the highlight was just having her around,” AusCyling chief executive Marne Fechner said in a statement Monday.
“Although she retired in 2017, her presence as an alumnus of the sport has been felt and appreciated by many in the cycling and riding community.”
Hoskins also competed in road cycling for several years with Australian team GreenEDGE.
The 33-year-old Dennis won two world titles in the road time trial, as well as silver in the team pursuit at the London Olympics and bronze in the road time trial at the Tokyo Olympics.
He became the seventh Australian to wear the yellow jersey as race leader at the Tour de France by winning the opening time trial in 2015, setting a race record for his average speed.
Dennis, who has retired from competitive cycling, was named Australian cyclist of the year in 2015 and 2018 and won the 2015 Tour Down Under in his home city of Adelaide. After his retirement and their marriage in 2018, the Dennis family relocated to Adelaide from Europe.
Hoskins and Dennis were this month scheduled to take part in an event at the Tour Down Under in Adelaide.
“We are devastated by the news of Melissa Hoskins death. It’s an extremely tragic situation which has seen the loss of a young mum and champion cyclist,” Tour Down Under organizers said in a statement Monday. “Given the circumstances, Rohan Dennis will no longer be participating.”

Some Nutramigen infant formula recalled due to possible bacteria contamination
(CNN) - Some powdered baby formula is being pulled from the shelves due to contamination issues.
On Sunday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers of possible bacterial contamination in Reckitt/Mead Johnson’s Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder products.
Manufacturers voluntarily recalled more than 675,000 cans of the formula.
The recall batches include ZL3FRW, ZL3FPE, ZL3FXJ, ZL3FQD, ZL3FMH, ZL3FHG with a UPC code of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and use by date of Jan. 1, 2025.

Giants Fan Nearly Ruined Heartwarming Moment Between Rams' Kyren Williams and His Mom
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams punched in his third rushing touchdown in Week 17, but his celebration nearly got spoiled by a selfish New York Giants fan.
After Williams capped off a 28-yard run with a touchdown to give the Rams a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter, the 2022 fifth-rounder headed to the stands to give the ball to his mom, Taryn Williams. Williams spotted his mom in the crowd and was trying to hand the ball off when a Giants supporter tried to wrestle the ball away for himself.
Williams appeared to yell something at the fan and repeatedly pointed at him, clearly angry at what he was trying to do. The fan, who sported Saquon Barkley gear, just laughed at Williams.
Williams's mom kept possession of the ball in the end, but the encounter may have left a bad taste in fans' mouths and was reminiscent of a certain Raiders player's Grinch-like gesture on Christmas.

Williams previously gave a touchdown ball to his mom in the Rams’ 30—22 win over the New Orleans Saints a little over a week ago, and there was no contention from opposing fans at SoFi Stadium during that celebration.
The Giants were eagerly clawing at a late comeback in the fourth quarter against the Rams, but they ultimately came up short on a missed 54-yard field goal that would have clinched the game. Williams recorded 20 carries for 87 yards and three touchdowns in the Rams' 26—25 win.

Although we all make them, even politicians, it can often be hard to keep a new year's resolution.
Here's what the leaders of the government, opposition and crossbench said their plans were for 2024.
The government: Jeremy Rockliff and Michael Ferguson
Premier Jeremy Rockliff
Premier Jeremy Rockliff has helmed the government through a particularly turbulent year, one marked by the collapse of a parliamentary majority, the loss of his father, and the fall of regional icon Kenny the Kennebec.
Mr Rockliff said in 2024, he and the government would continue working to create a brighter future for young Tasmanians.
"What excites me most is to see young people get in and have a go as they can see their future in Tasmania," he said.
"So therefore in 2024 my focus will be to continue to deliver on our long-term plan to make Tasmania the best place to live, work and raise a family.
"I look forward to building on our strong foundation for more affordable homes, backing in business to support economic growth and creating even more job opportunities.
"Importantly for me also is carving out some special time with family and friends including getting the Big Spud 'Kenny' back in his rightful position."
Deputy premier Michael Ferguson
Deputy premier Michael Ferguson said events in 2023 had prompted much thought on his part - contrasting how great the Tasmanian lifestyle was with conflicts that continue to ravage Europe and the Middle East.
He said 2024 would be about improving the lives of others, in a personal capacity through giving to charity but also by working to improve the lives Tasmanians as deputy premier and treasurer.
"We've come so far since the previous era, but our focus must remain positively on our future while others continue to talk us down," Mr Ferguson said.
"Making sure that people can achieve secure and well paid employment as part of a strong and growing economy, and delivering the modern infrastructure we need and deserve for our future are just some of the priorities that remain top of my agenda as part of the Liberal team in 2024.
"As Treasurer, I will not miss a single opportunity to pressure the federal government to work with us to protect our island economy at a time of significant economic headwinds."
The opposition: Rebecca White
Although the next election - scheduled for 2025 - is yet to be called, Rebecca White and the Tasmanian Labor Party have finished 2023 laying the groundwork for it.
Ms White said the coming year would be all about showing Tasmanians Labor was willing and ready to take the reins after a decade in opposition.
"As a part of our Right Priorities Plan we aim to directly address the big issues facing Tasmanians," she said.
"We commit to legislate a cap on power prices to ease the cost of living, immediately provide more health care services across our 18 regional hospitals and build more houses and provide more homes for Tasmanians through our Build to Rent scheme and our expansion of MyHome.
"We will also work to implement the 191 recommendations from the commission of inquiry.
"Our new year's resolution in parliament is to show Tasmania an alternative government that can do the job of governing for all Tasmanians."
The crossbench: Rosalie Woodruff
Rosalie Woodruff has led the Tasmanian Greens for six months, and looking to the new year she said 2024 was the time to build the party's profile.
Seats like Bass and Braddon are in her party's sights, and Dr Woodruff said she planned to demonstrate to younger Tasmanians there was a viable alternative to the two major parties.
Dr Woodruff said she would also try to find a balance between her personal and professional lives as she continued campaigning for housing, the environment, and sustainable jobs.
"As a local MP my focus has always been working hard for my community, but since I've become the Greens' leader I've been even busier," she said.
"In 2024 I want to be a strong voice for this beautiful island and everyone who lives here, while I also make time for the personal parts of my life - walks in the bush with my family, swimming in the Huon River with my dog, listening to new music with my daughters.

The Minnesota Vikings began Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers with a shirtless Kirk Cousins doing something never seen before, a horn blast that injected fire into the stadium minutes before the start of the Week 17 game.
The 2023 NFL season for the Minnesota Vikings has been a tale of two halves. Starting off with a disappointing 0-3 record, the Skoldiers seemed destined for mediocrity. However, under the guidance of head coach Kevin O’Connell, they clawed their way back into contention, even briefly holding the top spot in the NFC North.
Cousins’ impact on the Vikings cannot be overstated. His leadership, accuracy, and clutch performances were instrumental in the team’s turnaround. With him throwing to All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson, the Vikings boasted one of the league’s most potent offenses. His absence has left a gaping hole under center, with Nick Mullens, Josh Dobbs and Jaren Hall struggling to fill the void.
Cousins’ shirtless video
Before starting Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers, Kirk Cousins blasted the stadium horn as a sign that there is still hope to reach the postseason. They have a 7-8 record and are in the hunt for a Wild Card.
Before this game the Vikings lost two games, one against the Cincinnati Bengals 24-27 (OT), and another against the Detroit Lions at home 24-30. They haven’t won since December 10, that time against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The defense, despite the addition of defensive guru Brian Flores, has also shown cracks without the offensive firepower to mask their mistakes. Opponents are now routinely putting up points on the Vikings, something that rarely happened with Cousins orchestrating long, clock-chewing drives.
The 2023 season is a harsh reminder of the importance of one player in a team sport. While the Vikings have talented players on both sides of the ball, their reliance on Cousins was perhaps too great. The injury has exposed weaknesses in the roster and coaching staff, forcing them to re-evaluate their approach to the offseason.
What is Kirk Cousins’ contract with the Vikings?
As of today, December 31, 2023, Kirk Cousins’ contract with the Vikings has expired. He was playing on a one-year, $35 million extension signed in March 2022. This means he will be a free agent in 2024 and able to negotiate with any team for the next season.
How many Super Bowls have the Vikings won?
The Minnesota Vikings have not yet won a Super Bowl. They have appeared in four Super Bowls throughout their history: Super Bowl IV (1970) Lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, Super Bowl VIII (1974) Lost to the Miami Dolphins, Super Bowl IX (1975) Lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Super Bowl XI (1977) Lost to the Oakland Raiders.

“I was super nervous the whole time,” Osaka, 26, said of her comeback match against the 28-year-old German player.
A two-time Australian and U.S. Open champion, Osaka pulled out of last year’s Australian Open in Melbourne before later revealing she was pregnant. The U.S.-based Japanese player and her partner, rapper Cordae, became parents to daughter Shai in Los Angeles in July.
Osaka had only played one game since her first-round exit at the 2022 U.S. Open. She was leading Daria Gavrilova 1-0 at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo in September of that year before the Australian retired from the match with injury.
Osaka said she has a renewed focus on living in the moment when it comes to her tennis.
“The last couple years that I played before I had my daughter, I didn’t return as much love as I was given,” she told the crowd at Pat Rafter Arena. "So I really feel like that’s what I want to do in this chapter.
"I just really appreciate people coming out and people knowing me and cheering for me.
Reigning Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Jelena Ostapenko, Victoria Azarenka, Sofia Kenin and Sloane Stephens are also in the 64-player women's draw at the Brisbane International, one of the key tune-up events for the Australian Open in Melbourne.

Colorado mom wanted for killing 2 of her children arrested in United Kingdom
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV/Gray News) - A mother wanted in connection with the deaths of two of her children has been arrested in the United Kingdom, according to police.
Colorado Springs Police say Kimberlee Singler was taken into custody without incident.
On December 19, just after midnight, police responded to a call about a burglary in the 5300 block of Palomino Ranch Point.
When police arrived, they found two children, a 9-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy, dead inside the residence.
Singler and an 11-year-old girl were found with injuries and taken to a local hospital. All three children are Singler’s children.
As the investigation continued, a warrant for Singler’s arrest was issued on December 26. The arrest warrant included charges of murder in the first degree, child abuse, and assault.
A $10,000,000 bond was set by the court.

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

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

Love went 14-of-21 for 180 yards and had three total touchdowns in the first half.
The Vikings benched Hall for Mullens in the second half, though that wasn't much better. He did lead the Vikings down into the red zone on his opening drive of the third quarter, but the Packers stopped them on fourth down and took over.
Love then mounted an eight-minute drive and hit a wide-open Bo Melton in the end zone, which put the Packers up 30-3. From there, the Vikings were way too far out of it. Green Bay held on to grab the 23-point win, which brought them back to .500 on the season.
Mullens went 13-of-22 for 113 yards and had a touchdown in the second half for the Vikings. Ty Chandler had 40 rushing yards on 10 carries, and Justin Jefferson led the team with 46 yards on three catches. The Vikings’ lone touchdown of the day came after Najee Thompson recovered a botched punt return to start the fourth quarter, which set up a 6-yard score to Johnny Mundt.
Love finished throwing 24-of-33 for 256 yards with three touchdowns. Aaron Jones had 121 rushing yards on 20 carries, and Melton had 105 yards on six catches. Reed had 89 receiving yards with his two touchdowns, but he was ruled out in the second half with a chest injury.
Packers need to beat Bears
Though the Detroit Lions have already won the NFC North, the Packers’ playoff hopes are still alive after Sunday night’s win. They now just have to beat the Chicago Bears next weekend at Lambeau Field to earn a wild-card spot, which would bring them back into the postseason for the fourth time in the last five seasons.
The Vikings weren’t eliminated from playoff contention, but their path to the postseason won’t be easy. They’ll have to beat the Lions, and then both the Packers and the Seahawks have to lose, and then either the Buccaneers or Saints have to lose, too.
The Bears have all-but been eliminated from the playoffs already. Everything would have to go right for them next week in order to make it in. They are, however, on a bit of a hot streak. The Bears have won four of their last five games, and are fresh off a dominant 37-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The only loss in that stretch was to the Cleveland Browns, where they fell by three points after a botched Hail Mary.
The Packers will enter that contest in Green Bay on a two-game win streak. While last week’s three-point win over the lowly Carolina Panthers likely didn’t do much to reassure fans, Sunday night’s dominant showing should certainly help. If the Packers lose, that opens the door for either the Seahawks or the Saints to sneak into the postseason.
Regardless, the Packers did what they needed to. They won't have to rely on anybody else. | https://www.y100fm.com/news/national/jordan-love-packers/KUHQC24IIWZBTPXQOWZFDFXOMQ/ | 2024-01-01T04:48:25Z |
Perth (Australia), Jan 1 (AP) Making a triumphant return to Perth after a decade, Novak Djokovic led Serbia to a 2-1 win over China at the United Cup.
Djokovic, playing in the western Australia city for the first time since the 2013 Hopman Cup, beat Zhang Zhizhen 6-3, 6-2 and then teamed up with Olga Danilovic to clinch the decisive mixed doubles 6-4, 1-6, 10-6 against Zheng Quinwen and Zhang in the Group E match.

Zheng, who beat reigning Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova in her opening United Cup match, had leveled the match 1-1 when she outplayed Danilovic 6-4, 6-2.
Djokovic needed just 74 minutes to beat Zhang as he converted three of the seven break points.
“It's great to be back in Perth,” Djokovic said afterward. “New Year's in a few hours so I really appreciate you coming to hopefully celebrate New Year's Eve with us here on the court. It's been 10 years since I've been in Perth, and this arena is definitely one of the nicest, from inside and outside, that I've played in.”
Djokovic said he felt a bit rusty early against Zhang and a “little bit out of rhythm” because of not playing a match for over a month.
“It obviously takes a little bit of time to get the engines going and he was serving well,” he said.
“I think the serve was great on my part, whenever I needed to get myself out of trouble, at 15-15 or 30-30 in my service games, I found a good serve."
China routed Czech Republic in its first match 3-0, but after Sunday's win Serbia is also in with a chance to advance.
Earlier, former U.S. Open finalist Leylah Fernandez led Canada to a 2-1 victory over Chile in Sydney in its tournament's opening match.
Fernandez defeated Daniela Seguel 6-3, 6-2 before Nicolas Jarry leveled the Group B tie for Chile by beating Steven Diez in straight sets in Sydney.
Diez had replaced Felix Auger-Aliassime who was rested with a minor knee issue.
Fernandez and Diez then clinched the deciding mixed doubles against Seguel and Tomás Barrios Vera 7-5, 4-6, 10-8 to seal the tie for the Canadians.
“I'm extremely happy with the way I played,” Fernandez said after her win over Seguel.
“It wasn't the greatest match because it is my first match of the season, the nerves, but I'm extremely happy with the way that I was able to manage it.”
In Perth, Great Britain's Katie Boulter stunned fifth-ranked Jessica Pegula of the United States in Group C, rallying from a set down to win 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.
The Americans drew level when Taylor Fritz defeated Cameron Norrie 7-6 (5), 6-4 to force a deciding mixed doubles match.
Pegula and Fritz then combined for victory over Boulter and Neal Skupski 1-6, 7-6 (4), 10-7 that sealed the tie, 2-1, for the defending champions.
The Americans will qualify for the quarterfinals if they win their final match against Australia. All three teams still have a chance of qualifying if Australia beats the U.S. in the last group match.
Mixed teams from 18 countries are playing in Perth and Sydney in what doubles as a warmup for the Australian Open. The format is a men's and women's singles and a mixed doubles. (AP)

Hot Mics Caught Frustrated Eagles Fan Screaming Perfect Six-Word Question At Team During Ugly Loss
In a surprising turn of events, the Arizona Cardinals swooped into Lincoln Financial Field and ruined the last day of the year for the Philadelphia Eagles, pulling off a 35—31 upset victory on New Year's Eve Sunday.
It was a frustrating afternoon for Eagles fans, as their squad raced out of the gate, taking a 21—6 lead into the locker room at halftime, only to see it quickly evaporate in the third quarter.
Boos rained down on the Eagles throughout the game but one moment summed up the frustration of the team's fanbase. After a particularly frustrating fourth quarter play that went nowhere, hot mics on the Fox telecast caught an Eagles fan screaming a question that was likely on the lips of every Philadelphia fan on Sunday.
Every Eagles fan right now pic.twitter.com/sl3owLy5Ms
— Crossing Broad (@CrossingBroad) December 31, 2023
"What the hell are you doing!?," the irate Eagles fan screamed at the top of her lungs. Making this more than just an amusing moment, though, is the fact that her question not only summed up the day for the Eagles, but also perhaps their performance in December, where they went 1—4 after starting out the year 10—1.
Philadelphia will need to find answers to that question with the playoffs fast approaching.

Uncomfortable moments were experienced by users of the Miami International Airport when a pipe broke and dirty water fell through some rooms of the facility.
“A pipe bursts in the MIA: According to witnesses, it was “black water” coming from the toilet system,” they described the unusual event.
The video published by the Instagram profile of Only in Dade left evidence of the fact that many believed that said airport is oversaturated in its operations.
“When you fly to other airports, you realize how Miami is exhausted“said one of the users when commenting on the video.
“It’s a small airport serving 52 million passengers a year”added another Internet user.
While another questioned that “with all the money the airport generates, you would think they would be setting standards.”
One user was more emphatic and warned that “Miami International needs urgent attention!”, to which he added problem in “part of the sky train had not been running for months. Pipes bursting. The moving walkways to the car rental/public transportation building haven’t worked in months either.”
Recently, thunderstorms in mid-December caused Hundreds of passengers will crowd at the airport waiting for their luggage.which were not shipped as a result of abundant rainfall.
The intense rains and, above all, the electric shocks forced the paralysis of the luggage dispatch service, due to the risk posed to workers by lightning strikes in the area. | https://california18.com/bad-smelling-water-falls-in-the-miami-airport-hallway-after-a-pipe-breaks/11946532023/ | 2024-01-01T04:48:27Z |

Jayden Reed was a key player during the first three quarters against the Minnesota Vikings, he scored two touchdowns as a rookie. The season was on track for Reed but things might not end well after he failed to return to the Week 17 game.
The 2023 Green Bay Packers season has been a story of both familiar struggles and surprising resilience. Gone is the legendary arm of Aaron Rodgers, traded in the offseason, leaving behind a team in transition under the untested leadership of Jordan Love.
Yet, with two games left in the regular season, the Packers cling to a flickering playoff hope, fueled by a mix of seasoned veterans and exciting rookies like wide receiver Jayden Reed. However, the Packers found redemption on the defensive side of the ball. Led by the shutdown corner Jaire Alexander and the relentless pass rush of Rashan Gary.
Jayden Reed’s absence
According to multiple sources including the Green Bay Packers (@packers), WR Jayden Reed was ruled out of the Week 17 game due to a chest injury. He was playing his 15th game with the Packers in the 2023 season.
So far Reed had two top games during the current season, against the Falcons he scored two touchdowns as well as against the Minnesota Vikings. He was drafted during the 2023 draft as a second round 50th overall.
Reed has defied expectations, emerging as Love’s go-to target. His electrifying speed and acrobatic catches have injected a much-needed spark into the Packers’ passing attack. Reed’s big plays, like his diving touchdown catch against the Vikings, have ignited the Lambeau faithful and given the team a fighting chance.
Packers reach the playoffs or not, the 2023 season has been a valuable learning experience. It has shown that Green Bay possesses the talent and the fight to succeed in the post-Rodgers era. And with young players like Jayden Reed stepping up, the future of the Pack looks brighter than ever. | https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-why-jayden-reed-didnt-return-to-the-packers-vs-vikings-week-17-game-20240101-BUS-95382.html | 2024-01-01T04:48:30Z |
In 108 editions of 'Mann Ki Baat', PM Modi has continuously talked about uniting country and countrymen: CM Dhami
On Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat' program, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Sunday said that in the 108 editions of the radio program, PM Modi has continuously talked about uniting the country and the countrymen.

On Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat' program, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Sunday said that in the 108 editions of the radio program, PM Modi has continuously talked about uniting the country and the countrymen. Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami said, "In the 108 editions of the Mann Ki Baat program, Prime Minister Modi has continuously talked about uniting the country and the countrymen. At the same time, PM Modi has also worked to bring forward and encourage many people who were doing some spiritual practice or research for years and who were not recognised."
He further said that PM Modi has a special bond with the people of Uttarakhand. "On many occasions, he has said that he has a relationship of action and emotion with the Devbhoomi," he added.
Earlier in the day, top Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders across the country tuned in at 11 am on Sunday to listen to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's last 'Mann ki Baat' episode this year. While BJP National President JP Nadda listened to PM Modi's Mann Ki Baat with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Lucknow, Union Minister Meenakashi Lekhi was seen listening to the radio address in Delhi.
Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal listened to the Mann Ki Baat address in Assam's Dibrugarh. Newly appointed Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma tuned into the program from Jaipur. Uttarakhand CM Dhami and Union Minister G Kishan Reddy were also seen listening to their leader's radio programme.
In his last Mann ki Baat address of this year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that a total of 108 episodes were aired, which has seen several examples of public participation. "In these 108 episodes, we have seen numerous examples of public participation and have got inspiration from them. After reaching this stage, we have to resolve to grow afresh with new energy and at a faster pace and it is such a pleasant coincidence that tomorrow's sunrise would be 2024's first sunrise. We would have entered 2024," the Prime Minister said.
Prime Minister Modi said that we need to maintain the same spirit of a developed India and momentum in the upcoming year. "India is brimming with self-confidence, imbued with the spirit of a developed India; the spirit of self-reliance. We have to maintain the same spirit and momentum in 2024 as well," PM Modi said.
PM Modi shared that he gets messages congratulating him for India's lunar mission even to this date. (ANI)

Love went 24 for 33 for 256 yards in what might have been the finest game in his first season as the Packers' starter in the post-Aaron Rodgers era.
The Vikings (7-9) benched another turnover-prone quarterback after an interception and a fumble by Jaren Hall in the first half were converted into touchdowns by the Packers. Nick Mullens took over for Hall for the second half, the fifth time the Vikings have switched quarterbacks since Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles tendon in the fourth quarter of a 24-10 win at Green Bay on Oct. 29.
Detroit clinched the NFC North by beating Minnesota here last week, marking just the second time in 13 seasons the division wasn't won by either the Packers or the Vikings, but a prime-time game between these border-state rivals always generates plenty of energy in the stadium.
Cousins got the party off to a rowdy start when he — wearing a thick gold chain around his neck — and his son ripped off their shirts to lead the crowd in the "Skol!" chant and blow the Gjallarhorn. The "Go Pack Go!" serenades quickly joined the soundtrack, though, and this became quite the New Year's Eve blowout.
Love was flustered two months ago in Green Bay by the Vikings defense. But despite his penchant for overthrows, he has come a long way and given the Packers abundant optimism for the future at quarterback that is missing in Minnesota with Cousins set to become a free agent and no clarity about a potential return.
Hall, who was the first reliever for Cousins two months ago only to be forced out of his first start with a concussion, hardly had any time to throw. Green Bay's defense that was shredded over the last three games by the Giants, Buccaneers and Panthers — and now missing starting cornerbacks Jaire Alexander (suspension) and Eric Stokes (hamstring) — took full advantage of the rookie from BYU.
Hall’s off-target throw in the first quarter glanced off the hands of Johnny Mundt — in an elevated role after the season-ending knee injury to Pro Bowl tight end T.J. Hockenson — and in the air to Carrington Valentine for an interception. Love’s 33-yard touchdown pass to Reed came two plays later.
Preston Smith’s strip-sack of Hall with 26 seconds left before halftime sealed the deal. Karl Brooks recovered at the Minnesota 37, and the Love-to-Reed connection got Green Bay in the end zone three plays after that for a 23-3 lead.
REED IS BOOKING IT
Reed has 10 touchdown catches to lead the Packers. The second-round draft pick from Michigan State set the franchise rookie record with 60 receptions, passing Sterling Sharpe (1988).
Both of Reed’s scores belong on the season highlight reel. Love did the work on the first one with the prettiest pass of the game to hit Reed in stride on a post route. Reed did the heavy lifting on the second by running a crossing route, dodging two tacklers after the catch and dragging two more defenders into the end zone.
Reed hurt his chest on that play and didn’t return for the second half. With Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks already sidelined by injuries, the Packers have some depth concern at wide receiver after Samori Toure also left in the fourth quarter.
INJURY REPORT
Packers: Smith and RB A.J. Dillon (neck) left with injuries in the third quarter. ... LB Isaiah McDuffie (concussion) was carted off in the second quarter when he collided with Lukas Van Ness and Colby Wooden during a sack. McDuffie started in place of De’Vondre Campbell (neck), who missed his second consecutive game.
Vikings: RG Ed Ingram (shoulder) left in the third quarter. ... CB Byron Murphy (knee) was sidelined for the second straight game.

MINNEAPOLIS — Jordan Love threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score to put the Green Bay Packers in control of a spot in the playoffs with a 33-10 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night.
Aaron Jones rushed for 120 yards and Jayden Reed had two touchdown catches for the Packers (8-8), who can get the NFC’s last wild-card spot by beating Chicago at home next week. They moved above the cut when Seattle lost earlier in the day.

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

The duo also address David Tepper throwing a drink on a Jacksonville Jaguars fan during the Carolina Panthers' loss, and Fitz and Frank discuss what's a suitable punishment for an NFL owner – who should be held to an even higher standard than players and coaches.

Is Publix Open on New Year’s Day 2024?
If you’re throwing a New Year’s Eve party at home this year—or whipping up a dish to bring to someone else’s get-together—you’ll probably be making some last-minute trips to the grocery store to stock up on ingredients for your favorite holiday appetizers. And if your nearest supermarket is a Publix, you might be wondering about Publix hours on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
Is Publix open on New Year’s Eve 2023?
While Publix stores have traditionally remained closed on Christmas Day, the same isn’t true for New Year’s Eve.
According to Publix's customer service, stores are open on New Year's Eve, but will close early, saying that specific "holiday hours of operation will be posted in stores with adequate notice. We value our associates and want to provide them time around the holidays to spend with their loved ones."

Is Publix open on New Year’s Day 2024?
Publix store closure times vary on New Year’s Day depending on the division the store is located in, but their customer service has included New Year's Day in the grouping of days when the stores will close early—along with Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
Like many stores open on holidays, you'll want to check Publix's store locator to verify the hours of the location nearest you.
What else is open on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day?
There are nearly 1,300 Publix locations nationwide but if you don’t live near a Publix—or you’re just looking for some other options—several other stores will be open on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. For example, Kroger stores will likely operate with regular hours on New Year’s Eve, and will likely be open on New Year’s Day.

So, whether you’re making appetizers for a New Year’s Eve party or just looking to grab a quick bite without doing any cooking, there are plenty of dining and shopping options on New Year's Day.

Liverpool, Jan 1 (AP) Fabio Carvalho is returning to Liverpool after his loan spell at Leipzig ended early.
The 21-year-old winger had joined the German side on a season-long loan but made only three starts in a total of 15 appearances in all competitions for the team so far this season.

Leipzig sporting director Rouven Schroder said on the team's website that “both parties had expected more from his time here — especially Fabio in terms of his playing time.”
“Due to the quality and competition within our squad at his position, we are unable to guarantee this for him," Schroder said.
“We held several discussions over the last days and in the end, decided to end his loan early.”
Carvalho, who has played for Portugal's Under-21 team, moved to Liverpool from Fulham in the summer of 2022 and has featured 21 times for the Reds, scoring three goals. (AP)

Pune, Jan 1 (PTI) Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and other leaders on Monday paid tributes at the 'Jay Stambh' (victory pillar) near here on the 206th anniversary of the Koregaon Bhima battle.
Every year, lakhs of people congregate at the 'Jay Stambh' to offer tributes on the anniversary of the battle, which was fought on January 1, 1818, between the British East India Company and the Peshwa faction of the Maratha Confederacy.
Speaking to reporters, Pawar, while citing the BJP's victory in the recent assembly polls in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, said there is no alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the country.
"Under him (PM Modi), the country's name, fame and pride is increasing," he said.
Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi leader Prakash Ambedkar, NCP MP from Shirur (in Pune district) Amol Kolhe were also among those who paid tributes at the victory pillar.
Elaborate security arrangements were made around the memorial, located near Perne village on Pune-Ahmednagar road.
A Pune police official said they are anticipating more than 10 lakh visitors at the memorial.
Pawar said, "All the departments, be it police or local administration, have made good arrangements for the people who are coming to offer tributes on the (Koregaon Bhima battle) anniversary. I appeal to people to cooperate with the administration." On the 200th anniversary of the Koregaon Bhima battle on January 1, 2018, violence broke out in and around the village in which one person was killed and several others injured.
Wishing everyone on the New Year, Pawar said it is the year of elections.
The Lok Sabha and the Maharashtra assembly polls are due later this year.
Asked about reports of submarine projects shifting out of Maharashtra, Pawar said Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has already clarified that there is no truth in such reports.
"How will the projects move out of Maharashtra? As CM, deputy CMs, will we stay silent? There is an attempt to spread misinformation," he said. PTI SPK GK | https://www.newsdrum.in/national/ajit-pawar-prakash-ambedkar-pay-tributes-at-koregaon-bhima-war-memorial-2059609 | 2024-01-01T04:48:34Z |

PEACE.- The Chancellery of Bolivia issued a statement urging Venezuela and Guyana to lower tensions in the territorial controversy over the Essequibo.
“Consistent with its pacifist condition established in its political Constitution of the State, Bolivia allows itself to call on both parties not to be led by violence and rather to continue with bilateral diplomatic dialogue,” said the statement issued this Sunday, December 31. .
The Government of Luis Arce asked to exhaust all mediation mechanisms and mechanisms of negotiation that is necessary. Bolivia views the current situation between Venezuela and Guyana with concern.
Furthermore, the Bolivian Foreign Ministry stated that the recent tensions threaten the Argyle Declaration for Dialogue and Peace signed by the head of the Venezuelan regime, Nicolás Maduro, and the president of Guyana, Irfaan Ali, on December 14 in San Vicente and the Grenadines.
Venezuelan defensive action
On December 28, Maduro ordered a defensive action by the Armed Forces after considering the incursion of the English ship HMS Trent into the disputed waters in the Essequibo.
For Bolivia, a military demonstration does not favor the ongoing bilateral dialogue process and could generate a possible escalation of destabilization in the region.
For his part, the president of Guyana recently expressed his country’s commitment to “peaceful and legal” means to resolve the border conflict with Venezuela.
Avoid incidents
Bolivia recalled this Sunday, December 31, that “that historic Argyle Declaration established the commitment of Guyana and Venezuela to resort to the instruments of dialogue and cooperation to avoid incidents that could have very serious bilateral and regional consequences, as well as to delimit their actions within the framework of international law.
The Arce Government insisted that Venezuela and Guyana comply with the December 14 declaration and specifically apply point six to convene the meetings that are necessary “in order to avoid unnecessary and dangerous ruptures, and act in the framework of the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace” that was approved in 2014.

Sriharikota (Andhra Pradesh): 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. | https://www.newsdrum.in/national/isro-successfully-launches-its-maiden-x-ray-polarimeter-satellite-2059626 | 2024-01-01T04:48:34Z |
About one-fifth of offences committed in public places in Tasmania happened in Launceston according to Tasmania Police data.
A total of 7110 public offences were logged by police in Launceston between December 2022 and November 2023 according to the data, which is tallied on a per-victim, per-incident basis.
The bulk of these were public order incidents, which can include liquor, tobacco and gaming regulation infringements alongside breaches of the peace.
The tally stood at 3173 as of November 2023, slightly above the previous 12-month average of 3146.
There were also 295 stolen motor vehicle offences - things like stealing and joyriding - which was lower than the average.
Robberies were also below-average, standing at 47 with a 98 per cent clearance rate.
This means 98 per cent of robberies reported to police came to some sort of resolution, with the offender taken to court, or in some cases the investigation being dropped.
There were 288 public place assaults recorded between December 2022 and November 2023.
This was above the yearly average of 249 however the bulk of these happened between April and July, and the 28 assaults reported in November were below the monthly average.
Statewide there were 34,595 offences reported to police over that period, with half of them being cleared.
However, 90.7 per cent of Tasmanians said in a survey they felt safe alone in their neighbourhoods during the day.
This dropped considerably at night, with only 55.2 per cent saying they felt safe alone in their neighbourhood after dark.
Response times for high-priority call-outs were shorter in November, dropping to 16 minutes from 23 minutes the month prior.
Overall 76.4 per cent of Tasmanians were satisfied with services provided by Tasmania Police. | https://www.examiner.com.au/story/8473309/tasmania-police-data-shows-snapshot-of-offences-in-launceston/ | 2024-01-01T04:48:34Z |

Crown Princess Mary is set to become the world's first Australian-born queen when her mother-in-law abdicates the Danish throne in two weeks time.
Margrethe II of Denmark made the shock announcement during her New Year's Eve televised address.
Citing her age and health issues, the Queen said she would abdicate on January 14, making way for her son, Crown Prince Frederik who is married to the Tasmanian-born Crown Princess Mary.

Kazakh MFA's statement regarding situation around INF Treaty
"Being a participant of the INF Treaty, the Republic of Kazakhstan stands for preservation and strict observance of the Treaty by all the parties. Kazakhstan confirms its unchanged value as a unique historical agreement which enabled to eliminate a whole range of missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons and achieve a significant progress in nuclear disarmament as per Article VI of the Nuclear Weapons Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The denunciation of the INF Treaty which has been one of the most important factors of preserving international security can provoke a new ‘race of arms' in various regions of the world and pose a serious threat to the global peace and security.
Emphasizing the relevance of the global anti-nuclear initiatives of President Nursultan Nazarbayev which are aimed at building a nuclear-weapon-free world by 2045, the Republic of Kazakhstan is committed to strict observance of the INF Treaty by all the parties in the spirit of strengthening confidence-building measures.
For the purpose of preservation of the INF Treaty, the Republic of Kazakhstan urges the U.S. and the Russian Federation to take all the required measures to settle the existing problems by means of constructive negotiations and bilateral and multilateral mechanisms including the INF Treaty Special Verification Commission," the statement reads. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/kazakh-mfa-s-statement-regarding-situation-around-inf-treaty_a3495446/ | 2024-01-01T04:48:37Z |
Some Nutramigen infant formula recalled due to possible bacteria contamination
(CNN) - Some powdered baby formula is being pulled from the shelves due to contamination issues.
On Sunday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers of possible bacterial contamination in Reckitt/Mead Johnson’s Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder products.
Manufacturers voluntarily recalled more than 675,000 cans of the formula.
The recall batches include ZL3FRW, ZL3FPE, ZL3FXJ, ZL3FQD, ZL3FMH, ZL3FHG with a UPC code of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and use by date of Jan. 1, 2025.
According to the FDA, the formula tested positive for Cronobacter bacteria, which can cause rare but potentially deadly infections in newborns.
The FDA says that no illnesses have been reported to date.
The company says no other Nutramigen liquid formulas or any other Reckitt nutrition products are impacted.

Knicks Join Lakers With Interest in Hawks’ Dejounte Murray After OG Anunoby Trade, per Report
The New York Knicks opted not to wait until the calendar turned to the new year before making a high-profile trade. And from the sound of it, the deal to acquire OG Anunoby from the Toronto Raptors is unlikely to be the only move they make ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
The Knicks join the Los Angeles Lakers as the latest teams linked with potential trade interest in Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray, according to Hoops Hype’s Michael A. Scotto.
The Knicks will continue to be active on the trade market, league sources told HoopsHype. As previously reported by HoopsHype, the Knicks have been targeting Anunoby and Hawks guard Dejounte Murray. While losing Quickley seemingly hurts a potential trade package for Murray on paper, Murray remains a player the Knicks are interested in acquiring, league sources said.
This comes just days after the Lakers’ interest in Murray was highlighted by The Athletic’s Shams Charania on FanDuel’s Run It Back.

The Knicks still have all of their draft capital aside from a 2024 second-round pick from the Detroit Pistons for any potential deals in the future. The trade for Anunoby also included Precious Achiuwa, and in exchange, New York sent RJ Barrett, Malachi Flynn and Immanuel Quickley to Toronto, along with the aforementioned second-round pick.

Vice Admiral V Srinivas, AVSM, NM took over as the 30th Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief (FOCINC), Southern Naval Command at an impressive ceremonial parade held at Naval Base, Kochi on Sunday. He succeeded Vice Admiral MA Hampiholi, PVSM, AVSM, NM who retired upon superannuation after an illustrious career spanning close to four decades in the Indian Navy.
Floral wreaths were placed at the Venduruthy War memorial by both the Flag Officers in a solemn ceremony to pay homage to all personnel who made the supreme sacrifice in service of the Nation. Vice Admiral V Srinivas is an alumnus of the National Defence Academy and was commissioned in the Indian Navy on July 01, 1987. An Anti-submarine warfare specialist, he served onboard frontline submarines INS Shalki, INS Shishumar and INS Shankul (during Op Vijay).
In his career spanning 36 years, he has commanded INS Shankul, on two occasions, destroyer INS Ranvir and the nuclear submarine INS Chakra. He holds the distinction of being one of the only two officers ever in the Indian Navy to have commanded a frontline warship as well as an SSN. His staff assignments have been equally coveted which include Commander Submarines at COMCOS (W), Chief Staff Officer to Flag Officer Submarines, Principal Director Ship Systems and Development (PDSSD) and Commanding Officer of Submarine Training establishment, INS Satavahana.
The Admiral is a graduate of Defence Services Staff College at Wellington and Naval War College at Goa where he was awarded the CinC's Silver Medal and Senior Defence Management Course (SDMC) at CDM Secunderabad.

Five things I care about
The Ravens demonstrate their complete transformation
The Ravens took down the 49ers and Dolphins, two of the best operations in the league, by a combined 51 points in back-to-back weeks. They did it on the way to clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC and vaulting their quarterback to the driver’s seat of the MVP conversation.
Statement wins don’t even begin to do this justice.
As MVP chants rained down all afternoon, Lamar Jackson predictably didn’t engage much and took a “job’s not done” approach in postgame interviews. Jackson and everyone affiliated with the Ravens don’t have their eye on MVP trophies or Week 17 wins. They want the Super Bowl, plain and simple. However, he entertained queries about the differences between this year’s Ravens and previous editions.
After the game, Jackson told Evan Washburn of CBS, “This year our guys stayed locked in,” when comparing Sunday’s win to the last time Baltimore and Miami went to battle. In 2022, the Ravens controlled the game but let it slip away in the fourth quarter as the Dolphins fired vertical shots over the top of the typically stout Ravens defense. Jackson emphasized that this group knows how to finish, something they’ve struggled with in recent seasons. They’ve proven they're different by keeping their foot on the gas and putting away top-tier teams the last two weeks.
That’s not the only way this year’s Ravens are wildly different than previous renditions. You need only look back one year ago today to spot the contrast.
It’s been such a breath of fresh air to watch the Ravens offense this year stocked with actual playmakers. In Week 17 last season, their two most productive WRs each had just one catch for nine yards. pic.twitter.com/VkxHEvoTIQ
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
Look at that box score from 2022's Week 17 loss and compare it with what you watched from the Ravens on Sunday. Lamar Jackson threw five touchdown passes and finished the game with a perfect 158.2 passer rating. The critical note: he activated multiple pass-catchers.
Zay Flowers finished the day with a mere three catches but those went for 106 yards and a score, the majority coming on a 75-yard deep shot with layers of YAC on top. Isaiah Likely scored twice, once on a 35-yard catch-and-run downfield play and another on a beautifully designed leak route near the goal line. Rashod Bateman and Jackson didn’t connect on a 40-plus-yard pass early in the game but the receiver put that behind him and finished with 54 yards and helped move the chains with consistent intermediate route running. Odell Beckham snared a contested catch on a go-route for 33 yards on his lone reception to move the team inside the five-yard line.
Even in the running back room, as Gus Edwards was thumping away, Justice Hill was a consistent source of big plays. He averaged 12.8 yards on his five catches and 16 yards on his three rush attempts. Not to mention a whopping 50.5 yards on his pair of kick returns.
The Ravens have never come close to being able to throw this many playmakers at an opponent. The 2022 Week 17 example is extreme but the lack of truly dangerous, much less multi-layered pass-catchers has haunted the Ravens with Lamar Jackson under center.
In one offseason, they’ve added some serious juice to the offense.
It’s important to note that, while guys like Flowers and Beckham are new faces, some of these players who are making a crucial impact are holdovers. That’s where the coaching change comes in. All of these players are being deployed in a unit with the ruthlessly creative Todd Monken at the controls. If the contrast in juice didn’t catch your eye, the night-and-day difference in the play design certainly should.
Awesome play design on this one https://t.co/IQ11jBstvr
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
As Jackson alluded, the job isn’t done. But as this Baltimore team marches toward their desired goals, they can do so with the confidence that they have the goods that older models didn't possess. They have all the makings of a great, modern NFL offense as they prepare for a postseason run. We don’t know how this journey will end for the 2023 Ravens but we know they’re far better prepared for the road than ever before.
The 49ers take care of business
The team that fell to the Ravens last week was able to shake off their Christmas day letdown in Week 17. The 49ers should beat a floundering Commanders team that was forced into starting the quarterback they tried to bench by double digits — and that’s precisely what they did.
As the defense created chaos on their side, Brock Purdy checked in with all his usual efficient marks. He averaged 8.2 yards per attempt and completed 78.6% of his passes. Purdy consistently connected with his top wideout, Brandon Aiyuk. A Washington defense that can’t cover a soul yet still rolls out more man-to-man than almost anyone in the league was always a plus matchup for Aiyuk.
Yet, it was the nature of their plays that mattered. Aiyuk made catches on out-breaking patterns, in tight coverage on go-routes and put the cherry on top with an improvisational touchdown when Purdy went into creation mode.
So many top-tier plays from Brandon Aiyuk today it’s hard to narrow it down to the best one but this improv play where he and Purdy go into creation mode to get a big window is pretty sweet
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
pic.twitter.com/nuUUs0IHYY
These types of plays simply weren’t present in pre-Purdy iterations of the 49ers offense.
The win did come at something of a cost, as so many fantasy managers are ready to tell you. Typically, I don’t feel bad for gamers when their RB1 touches the ball 18 times and records 91 total yards. When that player is Christian McCaffrey, I’ll allow a small touch of pity.
McCaffrey suffered what was announced as a calf injury in the second half of this game. Elijah Mitchell came in and ultimately helped close this thing out. He's one of the best backup runners in the league. There's no real replacing of McCaffrey and that will certainly be true when the competition gets much tougher than the Commanders.
That’s what makes wrapping up the NFC’s top seed in Week 17 so important, thanks to this win and a stunning Eagles loss. While McCaffrey’s fantasy season is over, his and the 49ers’ real pursuit of glory is just beginning. With the top seed all wrapped up, they can place McCaffrey on ice next week right before the whole team gets a bye during the Wild Card round. We should all — outside of fans of other NFC teams — be rooting for his total health, because as the Aiyuk-to-Purdy connection reminded us on Sunday, this offense is something we just haven’t seen before during a 49ers postseason run.
Jayden Reed
One of my favorite wide receiver prospects from the 2023 NFL Draft was now-Packers rookie, Jayden Reed. Sunday Night Football was just another example in a season’s worth of evidence for why I was so high on Reed. He’s quietly one of the most dynamic players in yet another great rookie class.
Jayden Reed isn't going to be a slot-only player for the Packers@MattHarmon_BYB on Reed's potential ceiling as a high impact player pic.twitter.com/mwYwl2bjd9
— Reception Perception (@RecepPerception) August 25, 2023
Jordan Love’s first pass of the game was a deep shot to Reed. It wasn’t the first time he looked for Reed in the vertical game as the two would later connect on a 33-yard post route. The more Reed shines in the deep game, the better off this Packers offense is. The best part of Reed’s game is that he’s multi-faceted. He can win on big-boy routes against press coverage (as the video above shows) but the Packers are comfortable working him in on designer plays underneath. His second touchdown of the day came on an explosive run-after-catch play after he ran a gorgeous route against man coverage.
I often said during the draft process that Reed was one or two tweaks away from being a high-level starting wide receiver. There are still some kinks Reed needs to work out in the contested-catch game but otherwise, as a separator and runner after the catch, Reed has made those leaps I wanted to see.
The Packers have drafted a lot of skill-position players the last two years. All of them look like they will be useful-to-very-good players in the league. With Jordan Love looking like a quality starter, we should be interested in all of them at different levels.
I said it when he was drafted and I’ll say it again: Reed will be the best of the bunch.
My only negative note from Reed’s rookie season is that he’s been dealing with many nagging injuries this season. He missed the second half of this SNF game after re-aggravating a chest injury he’s been nursing since Week 12. Part of Reed’s appeal is that he’ll handle the dirty work underneath and in the YAC game in addition to his special teams contribution. He’s going to take punishment in those areas. Hopefully, the Packers can work out how to keep him healthy for the long term and allow him to shine fully.
Jayden Reed has superstar potential. Plain and simple. He has the route chops, explosive ability and open-field instincts to be a deadly playmaker. Reed and Love’s connection is perfectly emblematic of the Packers' hyper-fast rebirth on offense. He will be right at the top of my fantasy targets for next season.
Rams cap off an all-time fantasy waiver run
In Week 17, the Los Angeles Rams locked up an NFC playoff berth and they couldn’t have done it without the impact of two unlikely young heroes. Kyren Williams ends the fantasy football season as the RB4 in Yahoo standard scoring in just two games (RB2 in points per game) and Puka Nacua finishes as the WR6.
You were a big-time winner if you went hard at them after Week 1 on waivers.
The Kyren Williams demolition tour, half-point PPR:
— scott pianowski (@scott_pianowski) December 31, 2023
- RB7, RB4, RB26, RB3, RB30, RB2. Missed four games.
- RB1, RB9, RB18, RB5, RB11, RB1 (in progress).
Not everyone could have drafted McCaffrey. Anyone could have FAABed Williams. Most impactful universally-available move.
This is purely anecdotal, but I ran into three to four teams in my own fantasy playoff runs that had both Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua. I talked to multiple people who were facing the same type of squad while giving advice. It wasn't an utterly unseen stack. Imagine getting two elite-level difference-makers off the waiver wire.
That’s one way to push for a championship.
We might never see a situation like this again where two players from the same offense come off the waiver wire and finish as top-10 players. We can still learn two things here, however.
For one, if you can identify the value offense in fantasy football in the offseason, you gain a big edge. The Rams were not often discussed as this type of team but with a veteran high-end quarterback fully healthy in Matthew Stafford to elevate young playmakers and an elite-tier play-caller, they were a fantastic candidate.
Secondly, it pays to be aggressive with your FAAB early in the season. With the rest of the season waiting, it can be hard to blow it all right away. You know there will be some adds you can't even consider making down the line. However, we get some of our most valuable and most surprising revelations in Week 1. If you can adequately react to the correct information, you'll find true difference-makers worth unloading the wallet for early on. Those who went hard for Nacua and Williams are proof positive of profitable early aggression.
Mason Rudolph has been enough
Look, I said many stupid things about the ceiling of the Steelers offense. I overlooked a lot of potential pitfalls for the unit but it was because there was serious talent in the wide receiver and running back rooms. Those takes didn’t age well.
But I had no idea that Mason Rudolph was the guy we needed to get the offense unlocked.
I’m being a bit sarcastic, but there’s no denying that Rudolph has given the Steelers their most productive play behind center in 2023.
Games with 250+ passing yards this season
— Underdog NFL (@Underdog__NFL) December 31, 2023
Mason Rudolph: 2-of-2 starts
Kenny Pickett: 1-of-12 starts
Rudolph has a passer rating north of 100 in back-to-back games. But more importantly, he’s been far more (wisely) aggressive than either of his predecessors.
In Week 17, Rudolph had a 2.8 time to throw and averaged 8.0 air yards per pass attempt. He’s willing to stand in under pressure and fire the ball downfield. George Pickens has come alive in the last two weeks. He recorded another 131 yards after taking over the game in Week 16. Even the customarily target-constricted Diontae Johnson hauled in multiple deep receptions against Seattle.
While I don’t think Rudolph is anything close to the answer for Pittsburgh’s future questions at quarterback, I at least owe him an apology for completely writing him off. He’s shined a light on the mercurial talent in this receiver room by simply giving them accurate chances downfield. At the very least, he’s served as a reason to be in on these wideouts again in 2024 if the Steelers are serious about upgrading the offensive coordinator and quarterback spot. For that reason alone, he’s been enough.
Five things I don’t care about
Previously-held limitations on CeeDee Lamb
Prior to 2023, there had been a general sense of “wanting more” from CeeDee Lamb’s statistical output. As this season winds to a close, those sentiments are ancient history.
On Saturday, he put on a complete and utter show against an overmatched Lions secondary. By the time the game ended, Lamb had locked up his spot as the Cowboys franchise leader in receptions (122) and receiving yards (1,651). He’s currently the top-scoring wideout in fantasy football.
Lamb was one of the right answers.
I have folks asking me if he should be in the Justin Jefferson tier in dynasty fantasy football — and even ranked ahead of the Vikings wideout. If you don’t play in that format, the gravity of that sentence may not hit but essentially Jefferson’s place atop the receiver rankings was nearly untouchable. Maybe I’m being a prisoner of the moment but I think it’s worth a conversation.
Lamb has more than graduated into the elite tier of NFL wide receivers. He’s among the best in the game and is a spectacular separator against every form of coverage at every level. Unlike Jefferson, I know for sure who will be throwing him the ball next season and can project his partnership with Dak Prescott for multiple seasons to come.
Final note on this: CeeDee Lamb made noise after the 49ers loss, stating that he wasn't getting enough work. It's hard to remember now but this Cowboys offense was not making him the focal point of the passing game to start the season and the on-field product was suffering. It was clearly an issue and the receiver called it out. His opportunity was not in line with his ability. Targets aren't just earned — they need to be assigned and Dallas wasn't doing a good enough job there. It was easy to see.
Said a lot of dumb things this season, I say a lot of dumb things every season, but charting CeeDee Lamb today and I feel really good about calling for the Cowboys offense to revolve around CeeDee right before Week 6...when they did exactly that and went on a tear. It was so… https://t.co/ila2y8pUeo
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 12, 2023
So let this serve as a reminder when we want to criticize receivers for making noise about their lack of opportunity. Sometimes, these guys are right and they can help their team win by getting more work. That’s especially true when said receiver is an obvious stone-cold baller who is almost always open like CeeDee Lamb. What an incredible season for the fourth-year receiver.
The Eagles' talent
A few weeks ago, in this very same column, my stance on the Eagles was that even if they were playing below their record while beating subpar teams, they’d eventually be fine because they have better players than most of their opponents.
At this point, my stance has well since changed.
The warning signs have been building for weeks. A Week 17 loss to the now 4-12 Cardinals that dramatically helps their NFC rivals sounds the panic alarms.
The Eagles offense had their moments. Jalen Hurts tossed three touchdowns, including two to Julio Jones. They had an efficient day on the ground in a plus matchup. But they weren't perfect; they haven't been on that side of the ball all season. We know that's a massive issue for the Eagles at this stage of their season because the defense gives this team zero margin for error.
Kyler Murray became just the latest quarterback to tear apart the Eagles' pass defense. His 116.7 passer rating was easily his best since returning to the NFL field in early November. He hadn’t completed over 67% of his throws in any game. He checked in with 80.6% in Week 17. Murray had gone under 6.5 yards per attempt in all of his previous four games. The Eagles afforded him a 7.5 average.
Murray and the Cardinals found this level of passing success without their No. 1 receiver in Marquise Brown and their breakout tight end recording just 48 yards on seven targets. Eight Cardinals caught a pass against the Eagles. They could burn this defense in any such way.
Again, none of this is new. The Eagles' pass defense has been an issue all year long. The more troubling part is that the run defense has completely fallen apart as the season comes to a close.
James Conner became the latest bell-cow back to barrel through this front seven. He took his 26 carries for 128 yards and a score. Even backup running back Michael Carter averaged a whopping 8.7 yards per carry. The Eagles employ many proven veterans and several highly drafted players in the front four. And yet it was Arizona that controlled the line of scrimmage.
The Eagles defense is beyond a problem. It’s a key part of their identity and a crippling factor in their disappointing season. The offense has to cover for it and nothing that side of the ball has shown this season over the last two months gives you faith they can be that dominant of a group. And with No. 2 receiver DeVonta Smith leaving the game on crutches in a walking boot, that assignment is only going to get more complicated if he has to miss time.
Talent can trump all when that talent is available and playing to the height of its power. That just hasn’t been true of the 2023 Philadelphia Eagles.
Bucs offense when they’re off-script
Of course, the week I made a big deal about Baker Mayfield being my biggest miss of the 2023 season on the podcast, the Bucs laid an egg against an inferior Saints team at home. That said, I don’t think this offense is the biggest concern around this team. That would be the defense.
The Bucs can still win the NFC South if they merely beat the lowly Panthers next week. They should get the job done and overall, are still the best option to represent this division in the postseason. They have the most intriguing ceiling when the offense is cooking. There’s just next to no shot anyone can take them seriously against playoff-level competition with that defense.
Even if the Cowboys and Eagles, the two teams they’d likely face in Round 1 of the postseason, have their issues, both teams have the skill-position talent to rip apart that defense. Maybe with the serious concerns the Eagles are facing with their own stop unit the Bucs would have a chance to win in a shootout but it’s a stretch.
This Week 17 result was a reminder that when you can push the Tampa Bay offense behind the action by multiple scores in negative game script, you won’t get their best in return. Turnover creeps into Mayfield's game and what’s starting to develop into a solid run game with Rachaad White becomes irrelevant.
Justin Fields’ flaws
Justin Fields is not perfect. Anyone can see that. He takes too many sacks and isn’t always perfectly in rhythm in the underneath passing game.
I care about those flaws, but not enough to dissuade a quarterback-needy team that isn't in a position to take a top rookie prospect from a pursuit of the soon-to-be former Bears passer.
With the Panthers' loss today, Chicago officially netted the first overall pick in the draft. It’s nothing short of a coup to acquire a future first and for that pick to become the top selection. Twists of fate don’t always bend to this level of fortune. The Bears know that and will likely cash in that lottery ticket to restart the quarterback clock. Fields is a known commodity and the rookies are not but the upside of Caleb Williams or Drake Maye will be too enticing to pass up.
That will put Fields on the move and they can get a decent return for him. Sam Darnold was once traded for a future second-round pick and additional selections. This would be a similar type of swap out for young quarterbacks but Fields has been much better than Darnold was in New York to start his career.
Fields appears to be ending the 2023 season on a high note. As Week 17 comes to a close, he is second behind only Lamar Jackson in quarterback rushing yards despite only playing 12 games, and more importantly, he vaulted DJ Moore to a career season. Moore sits at 1,300 yards receiving and nine total scores, both career-high marks. Fields and Moore were excellent at slicing apart man coverage, an excellent signal for the passers’ future endeavors.
Fields isn’t the picture-perfect franchise solution for his next team but he’s some level of an answer. There will be teams out there that aren’t in range for a difference-making rookie who should come calling on Fields. Some of those teams will actually offer superior offensive line play, offense-centric coaching staffs and perhaps a deep set of wide receivers — the Bears got next to nothing from anyone beyond Moore — than what Fields experienced in Chicago.
The Jaguars win
I shouldn’t be so hard on Jacksonville. I often say that blowout wins can tell us something and great teams demolish bad teams. Well, the Jaguars indeed swept away the Panthers with relative ease. However, I’m not sure beating a team this deep into chaos, where their owner apparently throws drinks into a crowd, moves me much.
This video appears to show Panthers owner David Tepper throwing the contents of a drinking cup in the direction of (presumably) a Jaguars fan today. This is shocking. https://t.co/xv3du6hJlp
— Jonathan Jones (@jjones9) December 31, 2023
Any good vibes Carolina enjoyed last week in an upset win while Bryce Young put up career-best passing numbers were quickly wiped away this week. Even if Jacksonville’s offense struggled to move the ball, the Panthers just went nowhere on their side. They officially sent the No. 1 overall pick to the Chicago Bears with Sunday’s result.
The Jaguars were able to get a big play out of the run game with Travis Etienne Jr. on a 62-yard touchdown scamper. That was a welcome sign for a team that’s struggled to run the ball for months. The run blocking has been a mess at times but much like the issues in the passing game, you can chalk up most of the issues to overall design. Etienne got out in space on this run, where he’s at his best. There just hasn’t been enough of that this season.
Press Taylor kept this guy under 4.0 YPC for an entire season https://t.co/t719vJDPIH
— Mario Puig (@ThePostingScout) December 31, 2023
At least he closed things out for his fantasy managers. His fantasy numbers have mostly been a mirage and not even close to indicative of the health of Jacksonville’s run game. Nevertheless, he rewarded gamers with a hammer shot in Week 17.
Given the matchup, I just struggle to put much stock into a new wrinkle like this. It would be great to see more of this from Jacksonville as they head into a postseason push. So, do it again. Go out and run on the Titans, who so often sell out to stop ground games, in Week 18. Make a statement before heading into the NFL playoffs — because doing it to the Panthers just doesn’t move the needle. | https://www.y100fm.com/news/national/week-17-caredont/IAYA5UFITTPDTEUBAQLNHTCPTE/ | 2024-01-01T04:48:39Z |

New Delhi [India], January 1 (ANI): The stellar year 2023 marked several key milestones for Hockey India as it began with the successful completion of the FIH Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela. India became the first nation to host back-to-back editions of the FIH World Cup, and the tournament was highlighted by the inauguration of the new 'jewel' of hockey, the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium, with a seating capacity of over 20,000 bucket seats.
As the year carried on, the national sporting body made its intentions clear to revamp domestic tournaments and uplift grassroots initiatives. The first major announcement came in February with Hockey India signing a multiyear deal with interactive live-streaming platform FanCode to livestream all matches played at Hockey India National Championships in India and the Indian subcontinent, as per a Hockey India press release.

Furthermore, the federation announced several steps to make National Championships akin to international tournaments like post-match presentations, and closing ceremonies. Also, for the first time, the umpires officiating at the National Championships were provided with radios for on-field communication and Hockey India took steps to introduce video referrals in domestic tournaments.
In March, Hockey India announced the ambitious Grassroots Development Program designed to unearth young talent and improve the bench strength of the National Senior and Junior teams for men and women. Under this initiative, Zonal Championships at the Sub-Junior (U-16) and Junior (U-19) levels were held across North, South, East, and West Zones throughout the year.
Furthermore, the national federation distributed over 11,000 hockey sticks, 3,300 hockey balls, and other vital playing safety equipment, worth over Rs 8.00 Crore to its State Member Units and members of Hockey Academies to bolster the development of the sport across the nation. Urging all the State Member Units to work closely with their respective district associations to host regular activities to help promote hockey and scout talent, Hockey India also kicked off the 'Hockey India ka Abhiyan Har Ghar Ho Hockey Ki Pehchan' program.
The federation also disbursed a grant of Rs 2 lakh each to all its State Member Units to aid them in achieving their deliverables and complying with the necessary guidelines. Additional grants were also announced by Hockey India for State Member Units and District Units after the completion of their respective mandates.
Hockey India also announced a special 45-50 days coaching camp and international matches for the Indian Sub-Junior Men's and Women's Team with former Indian Hockey Captain Sardar Singh, and former India Women's Captain Rani taking up the mentorship and Coach's role. The camp was followed by Indian Men's and Women's Sub-Junior Teams, for the first time, travelling to Belgium and the Netherlands for an international competition in October.
After successfully implementing the landmark Hockey India Coaches Education Pathway that benefitted scores of aspiring coaches in the country, the national sports federation also launched a holistic Hockey India Match Officials Education and Development Plan to empower aspiring Umpires and Technical Officials and to develop and educate the Umpires and Technical Officials currently officiating at the district and state level tournaments.
Also, seeing the resurgence of the sport's popularity in the country, Hockey India announced steps for the re-launch of the Hockey India League (HIL) and began working towards establishing a successful financial model to sustain the tournament, after consultations from the commercial agency Big Bang Media Ventures Pvt Ltd.
Also, India hosted successful editions of the Men's Asian Champions Trophy Chennai 2023 and Jharkhand Women's Asian Champions Trophy Ranchi 2023, bringing international hockey back to different parts of the country. India ended up winning both the titles as well. Moreover, India will once again host the Women's FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers in Ranchi starting from January 13.
Hockey India President Dr Dilip Tirkey described 2023 as a 'successful' year for the federation and said, "It has been a great and successful year for Hockey India as we were able to implement key steps in ensuring the growth of the sport at domestic and the national level. I extend my gratitude and hearty congratulations to all the members of the national federation, state member units, and district units, who made useful contributions in helping us achieve our mission for this year.

These are special bells for Cristina Pedroche. They are the first being a mother. And the dress once again raises controversy and awakens all kinds of comments. I am mother nature. The cape is life, 100% wool, the red is amaranth and nasturtiums. They eat. It is a jewel that I wear on my head, a necklace, I wear it on my forehead so that it gives light and helps us achieve our wishes, as Cristina herself defined it 10 minutes before midnight struck.
And a minute before the grapes he took off his coat and oh surprise: I am a wave, I am the water. A transparent, biodegradable dress, sea blue, very transparent, very her. The styling pieces They are designed by Paula Ulargui with 100% organic, recycled and biodegradable materials that seek to make visible the need for a change in water management policies in Spain, the driest country in Europe and where droughts are expected to be ten times worse than the current ones.
And viral was the message that Cristina Pedroche excitedly sent to everyone in collaboration with Greenpeace. She was focused on water and the planet: I ask in 2023 that we have to protect water, to do so is to protect ourselves. Without water there is no future. It is our responsibility to take care of the planet. Taking care of water is taking care of our present is betting on life and speaking life is remembering that I have been able to give life. And I want to pay tribute to the mothers, who gave us life, who water us, who love us unconditionally, who we love. We are on borrowed time on this land, let’s take care of it as if our lives depended on it. Let’s save the water.
This is how grapes are taken
And he told his secret to eating grapes without choking: I take a bite and pa inside. I’ve been doing well for several years now.
Josie, your creative director
Josie, the creative director and friend of Pedroche, has explained how this idea arose and why he has chosen the chimes of 2024 as the ideal time to spread this message about water: For Cristina and me, 2023 has been a year of many changes. In the case of Cristina, this is the year of the birth of her first daughter, while for me it has meant a transcendental life change by returning forever to La Mancha humeda where I was born. This coming into contact with my land and its waters, as an essential element for existence and putting it in common with Cristina, has led us to the conceptual idea of creating a dress that, when watered with water, can take on a life of its own, a key challenge. design that, in addition, allowed us to send this hopeful message in which to make visible the need to preserve this element so fundamental for our lives and, above all, for future ones.
Clues given in recent days
In Zapeando he said that he was going to wear a color that I have never worn before. Ten years of Chimes and I have never worn red, he was referring to amaranth. In the promotional video there was a lightning bolt (three times and tattooed on his wrist) which could suggest that there would be a tribute to the football team, of which he is a declared fan, but that was not the case. And a four, in reference to the Puerta del Sol clock, which is poorly written, and which is due to a theory coming from superstition, since the four, instead of using IIII, should be used as IV, which are also the first two letters of Jupiter (IUPITER, in Latin), and which, if used, could be considered inappropriate and blasphemous. | https://california18.com/cristina-pedroches-new-years-chimes-2024-dress-i-am-mother-nature/11946732023/ | 2024-01-01T04:48:40Z |

Anglicare Tasmania wants the state government to provide it with $1.5 million over three years so it can tackle health issues associated with hoarders.
The social services body has called for the funding to be included in the 2024-25 state budget, arguing that hoarders not only struggle to maintain a healthy home, but are at risk of homelessness.
In a submission to the treasury department, Anglicare stated that it continued to receive numerous requests for assistance from family members of hoarders and the wider community about problems with hoarders.
An Anglicare worker detailed a request from a family member who said one hoarder's behaviour prevented them from seeing their grandchildren.
"Every surface to the house and shed is full and has spilled over to the yard," the family member said
"There is also animal hoarding. There are many other paid storage facilities being utilised outside the property, causing financial stress."
Another worker said one elderly man could not shower and cook at his property due to hoarding and relied on doing these things at other people's places.
Anglicare stated there was limited practical assistance in Tasmania for hoarders and no long-term assistance.
"Assistance, if available, is generally limited to intensive clean-up and rubbish removal, which provides little benefit to the client, the landlord and the community relative to the cost incurred," it said.
It has requested $1.5 million to fund a three-year pilot program to work with hoarders, including in its first year:
- $297,900 salaries and on-costs for two full-time-equivalent social worker specialists;
- $175,600 to fund services restore a healthy home environment
- and a $40,200 flexible fund to provide specialist cognitive behaviour therapy to clients. | https://www.examiner.com.au/story/8473521/anglicare-tasmania-urges-government-to-fund-hoarding-program/ | 2024-01-01T04:48:42Z |

Kazakh MPs mull over expansion of cooperation with European Parliament
The event was chaired by Mukhtar Yerman, Head of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defense and Security of the Majilis (the lower house of the Kazakh Parliament), and Iveta Grigule-Pēterse, Head of the European Parliament Delegation for Central Asia.
Mukhtar Yerman underlined that the development of inter-parliamentary dialogue is a crucial framework for the enhancement of relations between Kazakhstan and the European Union.
"The EU is Kazakhstan's biggest trade and economic partner, and our country is the key partner of the European Union in Central Asia, so I am sure that the development of relations with the European Parliament will be on the rise," he said.
In turn, Iveta Grigule-Pēterse informed that the consultations were held in an open and constructive atmosphere. Cooperation between Kazakhstan and the EU is distinguished by a high level of trust and the presence of serious potential for further expansion.
The members of the Majilis and the Senate, together with their European colleagues, elaborated on the situation in the European Union and Kazakhstan, the existing regional security challenges, the fight against terrorism and extremism, as well as counterdrug activities.
Among other things, the parliamentarians focused on migration issues, Kazakhstan's role in the restoration of peace in Afghanistan and Syria, economic and social reforms, energy, and human rights.
The European MPs showed interest in the prospects for cooperation between the countries of the Central Asian region, the fight against corruption in Kazakhstan, and the new EU Strategy for Central Asia.
The sides gave special consideration to the process of the ratification of the Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between Kazakhstan and the European Union. The new-generation document awaits approval by the parliaments of Cyprus, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Concluding the meeting, the MPs confirmed their firm readiness to continue cooperation and dialogue in the full range of existing issues. The next meeting of the Kazakhstan-EU Parliamentary Cooperation Committee will be held in 2020. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/kazakh-mps-mull-over-expansion-of-cooperation-with-european-parliament_a3493893/ | 2024-01-01T04:48:44Z |
Missouri Rewards Coach Eli Drinkwitz With Contract Extension After Breakout Season
Missouri Tigers head coach Eli Drinkwitz signed a new contract extension that will keep him with the program through the 2028 season, the university announced on Sunday.
Drinkwitz’s extension comes after he led the program to its first 11-win season since 2014 which included a huge 14–3 win against No. 7 Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl on Friday in Arlington, Texas. When Drinkwitz was named Missouri’s head coach ahead of the ’20 season, he signed a contract with the program through ’25.
“You can’t do this alone, and our players, coaches and staff have worked their tails off and stuck with the process as we’ve built this program,” Drinkwitz said in a statement. “We feel strongly about our trajectory and are proud to represent our state's flagship institution.”
The SEC Coach of the Year surpassed expectations at Missouri this season after winning no more than six games through his first three seasons with the Tigers. He has recorded a 28–21 record in four seasons at Missouri.
The Tigers have also earned four consecutive bowl game appearances in Drinkwitz’s tenure. However, Friday’s victory marked his first win in a bowl game during his tenure at Missouri.
Earlier this month, Drinkwitz also secured a top 25 recruiting class for the third time in four years.

When the 56-19 loss settled, the Miami Dolphins needed more than one glance into their proverbial mirrors.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wished he had shifted his glance a little more quickly to see the defender in his receiver’s path on his first interception, and he wished he hadn’t tried to force a ball to Tyreek Hill over the linebacker who snatched the second.
Hill wished he hadn’t bobbled and then dropped a wide-open touchdown pass from Tagovailoa, one of six targets on which the duo failed to connect in the blowout loss.
Dolphins defenders wish they had tackled better in space, limiting or at least complicating the Baltimore Ravens’ display of run-in touchdowns.
And head coach Mike McDaniel wished he had pulled edge rusher Bradley Chubb earlier from an out-of-reach contest. Instead, with the Dolphins trailing by 30 points and less than 4 minutes to play in regulation, Chubb suffered a non-contact knee injury that required carting off.
“I would like a time machine, for sure, in that situation,” McDaniel said. “In hindsight, I would absolutely not have wanted him out there if I would have known he was going to get hurt.
“There’s times in football games where it’s not about winning or losing or ‘Can we come back?’ It's about finishing the football game and having a taste of what our expectations were going into it.”
The Dolphins’ expectations entering their visit to Baltimore and their reality traveling home at 11-5 veered far apart. Their playoff expectations now risk the same trajectory.
“Situations like this where you go into a game with full belief in each other and the eventual outcome … ends up monumentally in another direction, it’s a gut check for a football team,” McDaniel said. “We need to recalibrate, get back together and press forward together.
“Run from nothing. Own it.”
How the Dolphins unraveled vs. stifling Ravens
The Dolphins started off the game strong.
Tagovailoa connected with Hill, running back De’Von Achane and fullback Alec Ingold each for double-digit gains on the first drive alone. Facing third-and-goal from Baltimore’s 8, Tagovailoa pump-faked his first throw before nailing receiver Cedrick Wilson on a high-low concept that forced the Ravens’ defense to wonder whether Hill or Wilson was its intended receiver.
The Dolphins had found the end zone first. But Baltimore answered.
Despite Rashod Bateman failing to survive the ground on a 42-yard pass that was reversed and offensive pass interference nullifying a 26-yard completion to Justice Hill, Jackson distributed the ball a la Tagovailoa with chunk plays to three different targets on the way to the red zone. With 6:39 to play in the first, Jackson dropped back and let a ball rip amid pressure, finding Hill between two defenders on the right sideline for a 20-yard touchdown.
The Dolphins stayed alive with a Tyreek Hill 25-yard catch on fourth-and-5 their next drive but ultimately settled for a field goal.
Against the fourth-ranked scoring offense in the league, that’s not a winning formula.
Nor is turning the ball over.
Miami stayed competitive early, forcing a punt and scoring a pair of field goals. But after a seeming busted coverage allowed a 75-yard touchdown – cornerback Xavien Howard, injured on the first Ravens snap of the day, was missed – the game began veering off course for Miami.
Tagovailoa hurried to fit a play in before halftime and instead threw the first interception.
Miami’s special teams allowed a 78-yard punt return to start the second half, one of several factors in McDaniel’s postgame remark: “I’m confident saying before watching the film: We’re not going to be happy with the way we tackled in open space.”
And even when the Dolphins defense punched a ball loose from Ravens RB Gus Edwards, the optimism was short-lived.
Tagovailoa’s second interception was the next play.
The Dolphins could expect nothing different from the NFL's most takeaway-happy group.
“With circumstances within the game, there was a play or two where maybe we were forcing something,” McDaniel said. “Defensively, they’ve been very opportunistic. We knew that, and ultimately, we played right into their hands.”
A day Tyreek Hill described as “one of the worst games of my career” became the Dolphins’ worst loss of the season, and a day on which Miami was shorthanded due to injuries merited less sympathy when considering the Ravens’ bill of health.
Baltimore was missing its starting right guard, star tight end, two running backs and a cornerback.
Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith, who intercepted and returned a pass 30 yards in addition to seven tackles and another deflection, said Baltimore couldn’t dwell on that or their short week after a Monday night game across the country.
“It’s just adversity,” Smith said. “Look adversity in the face, and like I always tell the guys – chin up, chest out. We don't bow down for anything. Do all you can do. People make excuses with adversity and we just produce.
“Life is not about excuses. It's about what you do and play the cards that you’re dealt.”
The Dolphins best heed that advice.
After Ravens crush Miami, are Dolphins’ playoff hopes at stake?
Tagovailoa, despite taking a hit to his throwing shoulder on a fourth-quarter scramble, was healthy enough to address reporters after the game and seems on schedule to complete his fully available season.
Based on the cart, non-contact nature of injury and shellshock in Dolphins players’ voices, Chubb seems unlikely to play next week or in the postseason.
So sure, in a regular-season finale with the AFC East title on the line, Miami won’t be at full saddle. Neither will Buffalo nor any team the Dolphins face in the postseason.
What the franchise needs to do is better adjust to its personnel shifts and better scheme for its available players. Miami did that well in the run game Sunday, when Achane took the lead role in place of the injured Raheem Mostert, Achane contributing a game-high 137 yards and one touchdown.
But Miami’s passing attack was far too inconsistent, as Tagovailoa completed 57.9% of his passes compared to his league-leading 70.5% mark across the season. (For context, 51 quarterbacks who have attempted at least 50 passes have attempted more than 57.9%.)
Baltimore gashed the Dolphins defense for 491 total yards, a season-worst allowance along with the 56-point output.
Sure, as fairly said after the Ravens dismantled the 49ers, most teams cannot attack and maintain pressure at the rate which Baltimore can.
But the Dolphins have dabbled in Super Bowl-contender conversations, and it’s unlikely they’ll be able to reach that goal without besting Baltimore. It’s unlikely they’ll be able to win any remaining regular or postseason game with the suppressed performance all three phases produced Sunday.
“Everything’s still in front of us,” Tagovailoa said, but achieving it will require much more than Miami showed with the chance to clinch the division on the line.
Tagovailoa preached the importance of consistency after the Dolphins played well enough through one quarter to win but not through four.
Then, he tapped into the glass-half-full perspective as he moved forward.
“If you have the perspective of things could be worse – we could not have clinched the playoff berth, we could not have been playing in a game like this that mattered for positioning with the seeding,” Tagovailoa said. “So if you think of it like that, we’re right where we need to be as a team, regardless of the outcome today.
“We’ll be better for it and hopefully get to see these guys again.” | https://www.y100fm.com/news/national/whats-next-dolphins/XC7WHVG4HWAGZHXQNLPWQ3ULU4/ | 2024-01-01T04:48:46Z |

Cooperative sector sees opening of new avenues for expansion in 2023
- Country:
- India
The year 2023 saw a newly set up cooperation ministry coming out with several initiatives including model bye-laws for making PACS multipurpose and a national cooperative body to promote exports in a bid to give further boost to the cooperative movement and open new avenues for the cooperative societies for expansion.
Set up in July 2021, the new ministry under the leadership of Amit Shah took historical steps for strengthening the cooperative sector in a short span of time, an official statement said.
''To strengthen the cooperative movement, the Ministry of Cooperation has taken 54 major initiatives, through which all cooperative societies are getting new possibilities for their economic development and expansion,'' it said.
Among the key initiatives taken this year, the ministry said it came out with a draft Model Bye-Laws for Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) on January 5, 2023, in order to increase their source of income and create new employment opportunities in more than 25 new sectors.
''So far, they have been adopted by 31 States/Union Territories and the work of adoption in other States is in progress,'' it said.
A separate scheme was launched to set up new multi-purpose PACS, dairy and fishery cooperative societies at Panchayat and village level which were not covered so far. Under this scheme, the work of formation of 9,961 new multipurpose PACS/Dairy/Fisheries Cooperative Societies is going on in 23 states and UTs.
The world's largest foodgrain storage scheme was approved for the sector during the year and currently a pilot project is going on in 24 PACS of 24 states and UTs Territories with the cooperation of the states, out of which construction work has started in 13 states. Further, 1,779 PACS have been identified in 27 States/UTs for participation in the second phase of the pilot scheme.
Further, PACS were allowed to operate as Common Service Centres (CSCs) for better access to e-services, establish new farmer producer organisations (FPOs), operate LPG distributor/retail petrol outlet and Jan Aushadhi Kendra and Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samridhi Kendra among others.
The government also established three national-level cooperatives to promote exports, certified seeds, and organic farming. The Multi-State Cooperative Societies (Amendment) Act 2023 which aims to strengthen governance, increase transparency and accountability, improve election process, etc in multi-state cooperative societies was also passed in August 2023.

Imphal: Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has expressed concern over the attacks on state forces and said that a delegation will soon go to Delhi to meet central leaders and apprise them of the situation.

New Delhi [India], January 1 (ANI): With the Race to Paris 2024 heading into its final stretch, Indian shuttlers will have an excellent opportunity to earn valuable points and stake claims to Olympic berths across categories at the India Open Super 750 to be held at the Indira Gandhi Stadium in New Delhi from January 16-21, 2024.
Asian Games gold medallists Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty and bronze medallist HS Prannoy will aim to boost their position in the world ranking ahead of the Paris Olympics while the likes of former world number one Kidambi Srikanth, 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medallist Lakshya Sen and the up and coming Priyanshu Rajawat will be gunning for the second Indian spot at the Games, as per Badminton Association of India (BAI) Media.

According to the Paris Olympics qualification rules, two Indian men's singles players can participate in the Games only if both of them are ranked among the Top-16 at the end of the qualification process that ends on April 30, 2024.
The India Open, organised by the Badminton Association of India (BAI), was upgraded to the Super 750 category from the Super 500 last year which means that the players can earn significantly higher ranking points in their quest for Olympic qualification.
It has also meant that almost all the Top-10 players in the current world ranking will be in action at the KD Jadhav Indoor Hall and badminton lovers can enjoy watching them in action on all six days for free as the BAI has decided to keep the entry free.
Looking forward to yet another fantastic week of quality badminton, BAI General Secretary Sanjay Mishra said, "The BAI has consistently maintained a very high standard of preparation for the India Open and that has ensured that it is now a Super 750 level event. This means that all our Olympics hopefully will have a good chance of using the home conditions to earn valuable points and even win the title. It will also be a great opportunity for fans to witness some breathtaking action as more top-ranked players will be participating."
Among the Indian stars, one among Sen and Rajawat are assured of a pre-quarterfinal spot as the young guns will face off against each other in the men's singles opening round.
Eighth seed Prannoy will be opening his campaign against Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei and will face the winner of the match between Sen and Rajawat after clearing the first-round hurdle.
Former champion Srikanth, currently in 24th position in the Race to Paris rankings, will meet Hong Kong's Lee Cheuk Yiu in the opening round and has a potential second-round clash against defending champion Kunlavut Viditsarn of Thailand.
In men's doubles, former champions and second seeds Satwik and Chirag will kick off their challenge against World No. 25 Fang-Jen Lee and Fang-Chih Lee of Taipei in the opening round and are expected to go deeper in the competition.
The women's doubles combinations of Treesa Jolly-Gayatri Gopichand and Ashwini Ponnappa-Tanisha Crasto are also locked into a see-saw battle for an Olympics spot.
All England semi-finalists Treesa and Gayatri have a tough opener against fourth seeds Nami Matsuyama and Chiharu Shida of Japan while Ashwini and Crasto, who made three back-to-back finals to end 2023 on a high, will face World No. 10 Thai combination of Rawinda Prajongjai and Jongkolphan Kititharakul in the first round.
Among the other high profile first round clashes, defending women's singles champion An Se Young of South Korea will take on three-time champion Ratchanok Intanon of Thailand while Spain's Carolina Marin will face Nozomi Okuhara of Japan in a clash of former world champions.
In men's singles, former world champion Loh Kean Yew of Singapore will meet third seed and reigning All England champion Li Shi Feng of China while top seed Viktor Axelsen will open his campaign against Wang Tzu Wei of Chinese Taipei. (ANI)

By Nick Wright
An emotional Naomi Osaka appeared on the verge of tears when she spoke immediately after her triumphant comeback, pledging to dedicate this next chapter of her career to return “as much love as I was given”.
Even as the heavens opened, a deluge causing spectators to rush for cover and Pat Rafter Arena’s roof to close, the four-time grand slam champion’s comeback at the Brisbane International could not be dampened as she closed out an at times tense 6-3, 7-6 (11-9) win against Tamara Korpatsch of Germany.
An array of powerful groundstrokes in the opening games announced Osaka’s return to the court, after a year spent away for the birth of her first child.
At stages in the opening set, her challenger held her own. However, after conceding an early break, Korpatsch was unable to force her way back into the first set.
Even after making an unforced error, working her rival around the court before mis-hitting a volley into the net, Osaka could not help but sigh, breathe, and laugh to herself. She was back.
Having been so open and raw about her mental health struggles even at the peak of her powers, Osaka appeared composed, assured, and when it was all said and done, privileged to be back.
“I feel like the last couple of years that I’ve played before I had my daughter I didn’t return as much love as I was given, so I really feel like that’s what I want to do in this chapter,” Osaka said.
“I feel like there was a time I was just a little kid trying to watch my role models play, so it feels pretty surreal sometimes to be playing on this court.”
It was far from the perfect outing come the second set – forfeiting a break deep into the exchange to give Korpatsch the chance to level on serve.
An unforced error then cruelled Osaka’s chance to take an 0-30 lead the next game, working the court brilliantly before a backhand found the net, only to then send a forehand wide the following point despite again appearing on top of the rally.
At 5-5 Osaka trailed 0-30 on serve, before bouncing back to hit the front once again.
Frustrations started to set in as the set wore on, with further unforced errors drawing her ire. Much to Korpatsch’s credit, the German made life difficult in the clash’s latter stages as the tie-breaker became a tense affair.
But while there may have been some rust, there is no replacement for the two-time Australian Open winner’s class.
Having lost two match points, while also being forced to save a pair of set points, Osaka at last overcame her plucky opponent – much to the delight of a Brisbane crowd willing her return to go according to plan.
“I was super nervous playing the entire time, but I was really excited to be out here,” Osaka said.
“It feels good to be back.”

Forget the Brownlow Medal or The Don Award, the most eagerly-anticipated moment of the Australian sporting calendar is here.
These are the top five moments in Tasmanian sport for 2023.
They follow on from the JackJumpers, Tassie Tigers, Devonport Strikers, Georgia Baker and Tasmanian rep footy team making the first half of the top 10.
- Saturday, July 22: Silverdome, Launceston
Northern Hawks delivered the perfect response to their first loss in two years by beating cross-town rivals Cavaliers in a pulsating Tasmanian Netball League grand final.
In front of a vocal Silverdome crowd, the fourth all-Northern grand final in five years proved a fitting showcase for the sport.
Having gone through the roster season undefeated, Hawks bounced back from qualifying final defeat with a ruthless 73-48 preliminary final despatch of Cripps to set up a derby decider which they won 71-57.
It was the sixth-consecutive Northern winner with the clubs having previously exchanged the title between them since 2018.
Hawks had dominated the roster season, winning 14 straight to finish top of the ladder but lost the qualification final to a Cavs side that only just snuck into second place on 0.66 percentage.
- Wednesday, May 3: North Hobart Oval, Hobart
A story decades in the making appeared to come to fruition when Gillon McLachlan led a star-studded delegation onto North Hobart Oval to announce that Tasmania would be granted the AFL's 19th licence.
It followed confirmation that the federal government would contribute $240 million to support the state government's $12 million per year over 12 years plus $60 million for a high-performance centre and $375 million on a 23,000-seat stadium. The AFL will chip in $15 million.
Tassie greats including Jack Riewoldt and Alastair Lynch were among the support cast as the AFL's outgoing chief executive proclaimed: "A 19th club in Tasmania, for Tasmania, uniting Tasmania."
A bumper year for AFL in Tasmania would also see seven players picked in national drafts plus Jeremy Howe, Brody Mihocek, Chris Fagan, Mia King and Nicole Bresnehan gracing grand finals.
- Saturday, February 25: Bellerive Oval, Hobart
The Tasmanian Tigers women created history by becoming the state's first team to retain a national title in dramatic fashion.
Firmly establishing themselves as the benchmark side of the Women's National Cricket League, the Tigers repeated the result of last season's decider by beating South Australia at Bellerive Oval.
But a heavily rain-affected match produced a miraculous finish as the Tigers claimed a scarcely-believable five wickets from the last over to win by one run.
Needing just four runs off the over, the Scorpions fell apart. The competition's leading wicket-taker Sarah Coyte took three wickets and one of two run-outs.
After joining the seven-team competition in 2010-11, Tasmania finished last or second-to-last in their first nine seasons but in the last five years have come third twice and been champions twice.
- Tuesday, November 21: Marvel Stadium, Melbourne
In a historic night for Tasmanian football, three of the state's hottest prospects were snapped up in the first round of the AFL draft.
Launceston's Colby McKercher was selected by North Melbourne at pick two, before Western Bulldogs swooped on North's Ryley Sanders with pick six and James Leake became the second mainland-bound Blue, picked up by the GWS Giants at pick 17.
McKercher's selection makes him the highest from the state's football pathway. "I'm super excited," he said. "I had an inkling that it might be North Melbourne."
A day later Launceston's Arie Schoenmaker was selected by St Kilda with pick 62, although Jack Callinan Geordie Payne and Heath Ollington missed out. In December, Brooke Barwick, Georgia Clark and Mackenzie Ford were selected in the AFLW draft.
- Monday, July 24: Marine Messe Hall, Fukuoka, Japan
Tasmanian world champions are nothing new, but not so in an individual Olympic discipline.
In what may go down as the defining race of Ariarne Titmus' life, the Olympic champion claimed a world title and world record off her nearest rivals to become the first woman to swim the 400-metre freestyle in under 3 minutes 56 seconds.
Two years after winning four medals at her maiden Olympics in Tokyo, the 22-year-old returned to Japan and led from start to finish to blow away long-time American rival Katie Ledecky and Canadian sensation Summer McIntosh.
"I came here and just tried to be fearless and race like I was that little girl again and it paid off," said the former Riverside and Launceston Aquatic Club member, who has the word 'fearless' tattooed on her right foot.
"I can see it right before I dive. To swim really free and fearless, I feel really over the moon to get that one."
The achievement would see Titmus claim her third Tasmanian Athlete of the Year award. | https://www.examiner.com.au/story/8473575/revealed-the-top-five-tasmanian-sporting-moments-from-2023/ | 2024-01-01T04:48:49Z |

There seems to be no let-up in intermittent attacks on security personnel in the Rajouri-Poonch area along the Pir Panjal mountain range that separates the homogenous Kashmir valley from the geographically, religiously and ethnically heterogeneous region of Jammu. The responsibility for the attacks, like in previous cases, has been claimed by the People’s Anti-Fascist Front, which reportedly emerged in 2019.
Since 2019, the militants’ strategy has been to carry out targeted killings in the Valley and inflict losses on security personnel in Rajouri and Poonch districts. On December 21, four Army personnel were killed in an ambush at a spot between Dera Ki Gali and Bafliaz. A total of 59 people — 24 security personnel, seven civilians and 28 terrorists — were killed in Rajouri-Poonch in the past year. Psychological warfare is a component of the militant strategy, which is reflected in the fact that attackers use body cameras to film attacks and then upload videos on social media. The mutilated bodies of soldiers, along with captured weapons, are frequently shown on social media platforms, accompanied by propaganda audios.
Unlike Kashmir, where the terrain consists of plains and a road network has been built, the transportation system in Rajouri-Poonch is underdeveloped. Therefore, the formulation of an effective counter-terrorism strategy will have to factor in the new set of challenges. By the mid-1990s, as detailed in my book Militancy in Jammu and Kashmir: The Uncovered Face, spanning the period from 1989 to 2007, the challenge intensified for the security forces in the religiously heterogeneous Rajouri-Poonch area as there was a greater presence of militants who did not speak Kashmiri, and they had started establishing their bases there.
Rajouri-Poonch is an extension of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in terms of ethnicity and geography. The only difference between the two areas in demographics is the presence of a significant number of Hindus and Sikhs, many of whose families migrated from across the Line of Control (LoC) in 1947; they are living majorly in Rajouri and Poonch towns in an otherwise Muslim-majority region. In PoK, there are no non-Muslims. In August 1965, many of the pockets in this belt were captured by Pakistani infiltrators as part of their Operation Gibraltar, said to be the brainchild of the Pakistani officer in command of the region across the LoC, Maj Gen Akhtar Hussain Malik. Many Muslim families had also escaped across the LoC after the Indian Army re-established control, particularly in border areas of Poonch.
After 1990, it was always impossible to completely sanitise the surrounding peaks to facilitate Army movement. Road-opening patrols became a crucial part of the strategy since the mid-1990s. Several mid-level members of the official machinery have been ambushed by militants in the region in the past two decades. No doubt, the arduous terrain is a constant. However, one cannot ignore the failures in one of the most militarised areas of the subcontinent due to its proximity to the LoC. The label of ‘foreign militants’ from Pakistani Punjab and PoK does not hold true in Rajouri-Poonch as militants coming from across the LoC are largely from the same ethnic and linguistic stock. This ensures easy assimilation. That is why the strategy of winning over the local community is at the heart of effective tactics.
A key initiative was taken by then PM Indira Gandhi, who realised the potency of the approach as part of the efforts to beef up border security. In 1976, she participated in a Gujjar conference in J&K as part of the outreach to the Gujjar-Bakarwal community, one of the main communities which live in this area. Over time, there has been a concerted effort to forge strong bonds between J&K Gujjars, who are Muslims, and Hindu Gujjars, particularly from Rajasthan and the areas around Delhi. This endeavour aims to secularise the Gujjar identity.
In 1991, Gujjars-Bakarwals were granted Scheduled Tribe (ST) status and that solidified their support against terrorism, particularly in the elite sections of the community. A number of serving IAS and IPS officers, coming from the Gujjar community, were direct beneficiaries of this decision. The multi-pronged approach yielded more dividends as the Gujjars in the area collaborated with security personnel, contributing to cleansing the region of the ranks of a terrorist outfit, Lashkar-e-Taiba. One of the Gujjar groups hailed from Bafliaz, and specifically, the Marrah hamlet, which is not far from the area where the recent attack occurred. After the attack, some community members were allegedly picked up by the Army on the suspicion that they were working for the militants; three of them died in custodial torture. The continuing attacks on security personnel and alleged custodial deaths are a setback to the investment made in border management over the years in an area that had almost become militancy-free two decades ago.
To understand the present, one cannot discount the overall context. Since the abrogation of Article 370, a number of ill-thought announcements disturbed the delicate societal equilibrium of the region. One of them was granting ST status to the Pahari-speaking community, a diverse group that includes upper-caste Muslims as well as Hindus, brought together by a shared language. An impression spread among the strongly-knitted Gujjar-Bakarwal community that the decision was detrimental to them. Also, the feedback of the political class to sensitise the security apparatus has been ominously missing since J&K has not had a legislative Assembly for the past five years. The official claim is that around 25 militants are active in the region, but it doesn’t adequately explain why substantial losses are being inflicted. In an environment of militancy, the political class is always well aware of the happenings on the ground. It is also able to better contextualise the information as it is attuned to the ground reality. And when the macro contours of decision-making are determined in the national capital, there appears to be a void in terms of policy execution and calibration.
In a nutshell, addressing the security challenge in Rajouri-Poonch requires more than just a military approach; it must be embedded in local politics and a delicate societal equilibrium. Security, after all, is never solely a military problem.

NFL Fans Irate Over Ugly Hit to Head on Justin Fields During Bears-Falcons Game
The NFL can't seem to go one week without the officials being called into question.
After a controversial ending to the Dallas Cowboys' win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday night, one play from Week 17’s Chicago Bears-Atlanta Falcons clash on Sunday drew the ire of fans.
During a play towards the end of the second quarter, Bears quarterback Justin Fields exited the pocket and scrambled upfield. Fields slid and a Falcons player's hand appeared to contact his head as he hit the turf.
No flag was thrown on the play, leading to plenty of angry reactions from NFL fans who thought the hit on Fields was illegal.
If this isn’t Justin Fields this is a penalty. Unreal. #DaBears #Bears pic.twitter.com/fNjOHhL2q5
— Clay Harbor (@clayharbs82) December 31, 2023
This NFL fan clearly feels that if the player was anyone other than Fields, a flag would have been thrown. Plenty of fans agreed, calling out the officials who missed the hit.
I am once again asking you to throw an obvious flag for an illegal hit on Justin Fields. Just once. pic.twitter.com/ZTxa87BgBc
— Johnathan Wood (@Johnathan_Wood1) December 31, 2023
NFL refs when Justin Fields gets hit in the head: pic.twitter.com/93SwC3MvQy
— Bleacher Nation Bears (@BN_Bears) December 31, 2023
Another fan wondered why no one was advocating for Fields following the hit.
The most concerning part to me about the pattern of no-calls on Justin Fields is the lack of advocacy on his and the Bears’ behalf. We talk about “Charter Franchise” and can’t even seem to have that work in the QB’s favor. Ridiculous.
— Leila Rahimi (@leilarahimi) December 31, 2023
Either way, it's clear that fans are in agreement on one thing: the officials should have noticed the contact to Fields's head.

PERTH-. Novak Djokovic he returned triumphant a decade later to Perth and led the 2-1 victory of Serbia against China on Sunday in the United Cup.
Djokovic, playing in the Australian city for the first time since the 2013 Hopman Cup, beat Zhang Zhizhen 6-3, 6-2 and then teamed up with Olga Danilovi to win the decisive doubles match 6-4, 1-6, 10-6 against Zheng Quinwen and Zhang in Group E.
Zheng, who beat Marketa Vondrousova in the Cup opener, tied the matchup at 1-1 by beating Danilovi 6-4, 6-2.
“It’s incredible to be back in Perth,” said Djokovic. “New Year’s is in a few hours so I really appreciate you coming and being able to celebrate New Year’s Eve with us on the court. It’s been 10 years since I’ve been to Perth and this is one of the nicest arenas, inside and out, I’ve ever played in.”
Djokovic admitted he felt a little rusty at the start of the match against Zhang and “a little out of rhythm” because he hadn’t played in more than a month.
China crushed the Czech Republic 3-0 in their first match, but after Sunday’s victory Serbia has a chance to advance.
Earlier, former US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez led Canada to a 2-1 victory over Chile in their first matchup.
Fernandez beat Daniela Seguel 6-3, 6-2 before Nicolás Jarry leveled the Group B clash by disposing of Steven Diez in straight sets in Sydney. Diez replaced Felix Auger-Aliassime, who rested due to minor knee discomfort.
Fernandez and Diez achieved the final point in the mixed doubles match against Seguel and Tomás Barrios Vera by winning 7-5, 4-6, 10-8.
“I’m very happy with how I played,” said Fernandez, world number 35, after her 73-minute clash against Seguel. “It wasn’t the best game because it’s the first one I’ve played this season, the nerves, but I’m very happy with the way I managed it.”
In Perth, the British Katie Boulter surprised Jessica Pegula, 5th in the WTA rankings, with a comeback that earned her a 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 victory in a Group C match that lasted almost three hours.
The Americans evened the duel thanks to the victory of Taylor Fritz (10th) over Cameron Norrie 7-6 (5), 6-4, before Pegula and Fritz joined forces to overcome Boulter and Neal Skupski 1-6, 7- 6 (4), 10-7 and decide the tie on the side of the defending champions.
The United States will advance to the quarterfinals if it wins its final match against Australia. All three countries have a chance to qualify if the Australians win.

Sidhi, Jan 1 (PTI) Police have launched an investigation after the principal of a government college claimed he was attacked by four persons on a false accusation of his involvement in witchcraft in Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district, an official said.
A case was registered under the Indian Penal Code and the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in connection with the incident which occurred on December 29, a police officer said on Sunday.
"Based on a complaint lodged by Lalbahadur Singh, the principal of the government college in Sinhawal town, a case has been registered against four persons and further investigation is underway," Sidhi Superintendent of Police Ravindra Verma said.
He acknowledged that a video of the incident has surfaced on social media.
The trigger behind the incident is under investigation, the official said when asked about Singh's claim.
The principal told reporters he came to know from the college employees that the attackers claimed he was involved in witchcraft, which is not true.

Police said there was an altercation between the two suspects and the male victim, according to WZZM-TV. The shooting took place in the front of the store near the checkout lanes. The male victim was shot; the woman was not a target, the television station reported.
The suspects fled the scene, police said. Both men were wearing masks, WOOD-TV reported.
“This is a brazen public attack. This is not something that we would tolerate, this is not something that should occur,” Koeller told reporters. “And we encourage the public to give any information in help solving this brazen crime and like I mentioned, unfortunately, an innocent bystander was struck. Two people were struck and that’s completely unfortunate.”
It is unclear what led to the altercation between the suspects and the man, WOOD-TV reported. It was also unclear whether the suspects and the male victim knew one another, according to the television station. | https://www.y100fm.com/news/trending/2-injured-shooting-walmart-michigan/2APDDUBCZ5DPXFFTF2PICOVLRU/ | 2024-01-01T04:48:53Z |
Brisbane, Jan 1 (AP) Naomi Osaka's first win at the elite level since becoming a mother didn't come easily. It did come on Day 1 of the year, though. So that was two items Osaka checked off the list Monday for her comeback to professional tennis.
The former No. 1-ranked Osaka was broken while serving for the match at 5-3 in the second set and needed three match points before converting in the tiebreaker for a 6-3, 7-6 (9) victory over Tamara Korpatsch in the first round of the Brisbane International.
“I was super nervous the whole time,” Osaka, 26, said of her comeback match against the 28-year-old German player.
A two-time Australian and U.S. Open champion, Osaka pulled out of last year's Australian Open in Melbourne before later revealing she was pregnant. The U.S.-based Japanese player and her partner, rapper Cordae, became parents to daughter Shai in Los Angeles in July.
Osaka had only played one game since her first-round exit at the 2022 U.S. Open. She was leading Daria Gavrilova 1-0 at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo in September of that year before the Australian retired from the match with injury.
Osaka said she has a renewed focus on living in the moment when it comes to her tennis.
“The last couple years that I played before I had my daughter, I didn't return as much love as I was given,” she told the crowd at Pat Rafter Arena. "So I really feel like that's what I want to do in this chapter.
"I just really appreciate people coming out and people knowing me and cheering for me.
Reigning Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Jelena Ostapenko, Victoria Azarenka, Sofia Kenin and Sloane Stephens are also in the 64-player women's draw at the Brisbane International, one of the key tune-up events for the Australian Open in Melbourne. (AP)

It is obvious that Eva Mendes is proud of her Cuban roots. The actress, born in Miami to Cuban parents, never misses an opportunity to express her love for Cuba in different ways. And new proof of this is the funny video he starred in with his Cuban dador, to those who ask current expressions to find out what they think they mean… The result is not to be missed!
Father and daughter appear next to the Christmas tree while She asks him what he thinks expressions like “ghosted” or “thirst trap” mean.. The third answer being Eva Mendes’ favorite. The actress asked her about the word “cringe,” which her father thought sounded similar to “shrimp,” which translates to shrimp.
“My Cuban daddy. This never gets old… “Camarones” has to be my favorite!”wrote at the bottom of this video, which Ryan Gosling’s wife originally shared last year, but has not hesitated to republish it to say goodbye to 2023 with a big smile.
The reactions of her followers have not been long in coming and they all agree that the actress retains her accent, which is applauded by her Cuban fans, who love to see her in this very close and familiar facet.
“How beautiful!! It looks very Cuban father-grandfather,” said Miss Dayana in the comments.
While other netizens pointed out: “How beautiful your daddy is, with his well-ironed pants and very clean like every Cuban gentleman,” “Girl, you guard your roots very well. “You seem as Cuban as I who live on the Island.”“Girl, your Miami-Cuban accent is delicious”, “So adorable!
