WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — (AP) — To underscore how much Iowa means to Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor was unwilling to put his campaigning there on hold even in the waning hours of 2023.
At a New Year’s Eve event in a Sheraton Hotel ballroom in West Des Moines, jeans and cowboy boots outnumbered tuxedos and cocktail dresses, and Miller Lite seemed more popular than champagne.
But the modesty of the affair, where roughly 200 people turned out for the last campaign event of the busy year in Iowa, belied its the importance to the host, who has wagered the future of his Republican bid for president on the leadoff Iowa caucuses, just two weeks away.
“Are you ready to work hard over these next two weeks and win the Iowa caucuses?" DeSantis asked supporters who turned out at the suburban hotel Sunday evening.
While Donald Trump prepares to return this week for a series of rallies, DeSantis did not leave Iowa alone during the week between Christmas and New Year's. He campaigned in the suburbs of Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Davenport, revisiting spots he had gone to in 2023 as part of his drive to touch all 99 of Iowa's counties as a gesture of commitment to the leadoff nominating contests.
But Trump holds a large advantage in Iowa polls as well as a sophisticated campaign organization in the state, threatening to deny DeSantis the win he needs to justify his claim to be the leading alternative to the former president.
Appearing Sunday night with his wife, Casey, and their young children, DeSantis urged his audience to defy the odds. “I think we have an opportunity to just make a statement that in this country it's we the people that ultimately decide these things,” he said. “Because I think you have a lot of media, they don't think you even matter.”
DeSantis wasn't alone in Iowa between Christmas and New Year's, a period typically free from politics. The Jan. 15 caucuses' earlier-than-usual spot on the election-year calendar lured former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to eastern Iowa stops Friday and Saturday, as she competes with DeSantis as a Trump alternative.
Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy also stormed the state, trying to remain part of the conversation despite curtailing his advertising spending. Ramaswamy held more than two dozen Iowa events last week and over the weekend.
No one has more riding on Iowa than DeSantis, who reshuffled a campaign viewed early as national in scope after summer staff shakeups prompted by overspending and internal disagreements. He stood onstage Sunday evening in West Des Moines with Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds and evangelical Christian leader Bob Vander Plaats, who have risked their own influence by backing DeSantis.
DeSantis and his supporters asked the audience Sunday to ignore polls that show him trailing Trump appreciably.
“Everywhere I go the polls do not match up with reality,” Vander Plaats told the crowd. “Going up in northwest Iowa — heavy Trump country — they all say the same thing to me. They like what he did, but it’s time to turn the page.”
DeSantis has an unrelenting Iowa schedule ahead of him beginning early this week. Trump, who has drawn hundreds — even thousands — more to fewer events, plans his own blitz over the final two weeks, including in deeply conservative northwest Iowa.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — A Southwest Florida man is accused of attempting an abduction of a 4-year-old boy at a Walmart, authorities said.
According to Lee County Sheriff’s online booking records, Pablo Pintueles Hernandez, 64, of Lehigh Acres, was arrested Friday and charged with false imprisonment of a child 13 years old and under.
Surveillance video posted to the sheriff’s office Facebook page showed Pintueles Hernandez appearing to walk up to the child, grabbing his wrist and attempting to walk away with the boy, WINK-TV reported.
The video showed family members intervening and pulling the child away, WBBH-TV reported.
Analysts and deputies said they used advanced technology to identify and locate Pintueles Hernandez, WINK reported. Deputies responded to the suspect’s residence within an hour of viewing the footage, according to the television station.
“What this criminal did is incredibly disturbing,” Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said in a statement. “I never want anyone in Lee County to feel unsafe, especially going on a simple shopping trip. My team will stop at NOTHING to ensure criminals like this face the consequences of their actions.”
Pintueles Hernandez is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 29, court records show. | https://www.wftv.com/news/trending/man-accused-trying-kidnap-4-year-old-boy-walmart/BHCFQABRXZCRTKSQP3JXBIR4VQ/ | 2024-01-01T04:58:42Z |

Supreme Court ruling okay by Kanu, says lawyer
- ‘We will apply for bail’
Counsel for the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has said the group’s leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was not disappointed by the December 15 Supreme Court ruling.
The high court reversed the October 13, 2022 decision of the Court of Appeal discharging and acquitting Kanu in the case of treasonable felony brought against him by the Federal Government.
A five-member panel, presided over by Justice Kudirat Kekere-ekun, held that the Court of Appeal was wrong to have discharged and acquitted Kanu.
The Court of Appeal had hinged its decision on the ground that the Federal Government acted illegally in the manner the IPOB leader was brought back from Kenya to face trial after jumping bail.
In the lead judgment written by Justice Mohammed Lawal Garba, but read by Justice Emmanuel Agim, the Supreme Court held that although Kanu was illegally brought back from Kenya, his trial was not illegal.
The Supreme Court held that under Nigerian law, evidence obtained through the violation of the right of an accused person to privacy and an illegal search is valid before the court.
Ejiofor said despite the ruling, the IPOB leader still believed in the rule of law and that justice would be served eventually.
Speaking to reporters at the Obi Ezumeru Palace where he was conferred with a chieftaincy title along with 27 other dignitaries, Ejiofor reiterated that Kanu accepted the court’s verdict not because the court is perfect, but because he respects its final decision.
He said: “My client was not traumatised nor shaken by the judgment. We still believe in the rule of law and that justice will eventually be served. We’re not shaken.
“We’ll be applying for his bail to be reinstated, in line with the Supreme Court pronouncement.
“Trial is a very long process. The establishment of such a case takes a very rigorous process. But we’re ready for them.

“Meanwhile, he’s undergoing a very serious medical treatment, which is a reason he will apply to be granted bail.
“He needs to be taken care of because it’s only the living that can stand trial. If he is not properly taken care of, he could die and that will be the end of the case.
“What we’ll ask the court for is to grant him bail, especially when the Supreme Court has condemned the revocation of his bail.
“One obvious thing is that the matter has taken a political dimension and if you critically assess the ruling, you’ll appreciate it was political judgment.
“I’m still at a loss how they arrived at that conclusion even after the Supreme Court practically resolved all matters we raised in our appellate brief in our favour.
“But we’re not worried. We understand the interest. Justice can only be delayed, but not denied.” | https://thenationonlineng.net/supreme-court-ruling-okay-by-kanu-says-lawyer/ | 2024-01-01T04:58:43Z |

Ocean to turn darker by end of this century due to climate change: study
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that by the year 2100, over half of the world's oceans will shift in color, as the algae population change.
The study has shown that blue regions such as the subtropics will become even more blue, reflecting less phytoplankton and life in general in those waters.
Also, those green regions, such as near the poles, may turn deeper green as warmer temperature caused larger blooms of more diverse phytoplankton, according to the study.
"The changes won't appear huge to the naked eye, and the ocean will still look like it has blue regions in the subtropics and greener regions near the equator and poles," said the paper's lead author Stephanie Dutkiewicz.
"But it'll be enough different that it will affect the rest of the food web that phytoplankton supports," said Dutkiewicz, a principal research scientist at MIT.
The ocean appears blue because water molecules alone absorb almost all sunlight except for the blue part of the spectrum, but with any organism in the ocean, phytoplankton, for instance, the pigment in it will absorb less in the green portions and reflect more green light.
MIT scientists created a model to estimate the relations between temperature and sea's color and what the latter would become if the global temperature would have gone up to 3 degrees Celsius by 2100.
"It could be potentially quite serious. Different types of phytoplankton absorb light differently, and if climate change shifts one community of phytoplankton to another, that will also change the types of food webs they can support," said Dutkiewicz.
Dutkiewicz said satellite could detect those changes in hue, which can provide early warning of changes in marine ecosystems. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/ocean-to-turn-darker-by-end-of-this-century-due-to-climate-change-study_a3495259/ | 2024-01-01T04:58:44Z |

LAREDO, Texas — Customs officers seized narcotics with an estimated street value of $10.2 million at a border crossing between Texas and Mexico, authorities said.
According to a news release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, agents seized the drugs at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo on Dec. 21.
A customs officer referred a 2001 Freightliner tractor hauling a utility refrigerated trailer with a manifest of a commercial shipment of cut flowers for secondary inspection, the news release stated.
During the inspection, officers discovered 164.72 pounds of alleged methamphetamine in powder form, 854.07 pounds of alleged meth in crystal form and 165.34 pounds of alleged cocaine.
Officials estimated that the drugs had a combined street value of $10,298,520.
Agents seized the narcotics, and Homeland Security Investigations special agents are investigating the seizure, the news release stated.
“CBP is proud of the work our frontline officers do to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our communities,” Alberto Flores, director at the Laredo Port of Entry, said in a statement. “This significant seizure is an example of ongoing operational efforts conducted daily to protect our borders.” | https://www.boston25news.com/news/trending/customs-officers-seize-meth-cocaine-valued-102m-border-crossing/QORQLDR44JGF7NUPEPNKB56NDU/ | 2024-01-01T04:58:48Z |
BRISBANE, Australia — (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.

Thousands of Serbs took to the streets of central Belgrade on Saturday to protest what they saw as fraud in the December 17 parliamentary elections, which were won by the nationalist right.
Saturday, December 30, 2023 at 8:49 PM
It was the 13th consecutive demonstration, and by far the largest, since the results of the parliamentary and local elections were announced.
According to official results, President Vucic’s nationalist SNS party won Serbia’s parliamentary elections with 46 percent of the votes. The liberal opposition, united in the ‘Serbia against violence’ alliance, ends up with 23.5 percent of the votes, but claims that fraud has been committed and calls for the elections to be annulled.
The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe pointed out a series of irregularities during the ballot box. For example, votes were allegedly bought and illegal votes were also cast.
Since then, hundreds of people have been demonstrating every day in front of the Serbian electoral commission. | https://www.breakinglatest.news/news/thousands-of-serbs-on-the-streets-of-belgrade-to-denounce-election-fraud/ | 2024-01-01T04:58:47Z |

Terrorists deposited arms ahead of attacks on Plateau communities, says senator
- Father, son killed in fresh violence
- Defence minister leads Service chiefs to attacked villages
A chilling account of how communities were attacked in three local government areas of Plateau State was given on the floor of the Senate at the weekend.
Senator Abdul Ningi (Bauchi Central) held the Red Chamber spellbound when he told his colleagues how almost 200 people were massacred by bandits.
According to him, the bandits deposited their arms at different points within the communities ahead of the attacks.
Ningi, chairman of the Northern Senators’ Caucus, said he got the details during his 72-hour visit to the state.
He met with Governor Caleb Mutfwang and visited hospitalised victims in Jos, the state capital.
He said: “The stories I heard about the attacks were mind-boggling.”
“I was in Bauchi for my Christmas break when the news broke and instantly, on behalf of the Northern Senators Forum, I moved into the Plateau.
“I had two sessions with the governor. What happened in Bokkos was unprecedented. The attack was by a catchment of bandits, over 400 of them moving at a go. The stories I heard were mind-boggling.
“First, there was a rumour of this attack. Second, the governor tried to make this information available but they didn’t take him seriously.
“I was at JUTH (Jos University Teaching Hospital) and you could see a three-month-old with a gunshot wound. Three months! Some were beheaded. This is unprecedented…
“What was discovered is that these marauding bandits were not moving with weapons. Those weapons were domiciled in certain locations.
“All they did was to come and pick them. That means there’s something behind what is happening in Plateau.
“Who are these people and why are they doing it? Because if you go there, you would think it’s a religious war.
“There’s something behind it that this Senate must unearth. It’s a very terrible phenomenon.
“The National Assembly members are shown the way out after four years and we even have a recall item in the Constitution.
“If you cannot deliver, our constituents will be asked to recall us and every four years we also go for elections.
“We can’t keep doing all these things all the time and no results. This insecurity is pervading the entire Northern atmosphere.”
Ningi spoke while seconding a motion by Senator Diket Plang (Plateau Central) on the Plateau mayhem.
The Senate ratified the motion with a resolution to summon the Service Chiefs.
Also to be invited are National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu; Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS) Magaji Bichi; Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun and Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) Ahmed Rufai Abubakar.

The Senate observed a minute silence and resolved to send a high-powered delegation to the state.
The Senate called on the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs to direct its agencies and the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to provide building materials to the victims with immediate effect to enable them to return home and decongest the IDP camps.
The Red Chamber also urged the IGP to complete the mobile police barracks in Barkin Ladi.
It urged the Chief of Defence Staff to establish a mobile military base in Kerang Village, in Mangu Local Government Area, which “is a border point and an entry route for the criminals who commit these barbaric acts and escape freely”.
The Senate further urged the military to deploy intelligence and aerial surveillance in the affected local government areas and their environs.
It also urged the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, “to immediately take action in putting a check on illegal miners and mining activities in the country, especially the crisis-prone regions.”
Additionally, the Senate urged the Plateau State Government to “strengthen its environmental mining laws to check the excesses of illegal miners in the state” as well as “to upscale dialogue between traditional and religious leaders, especially in the affected crisis areas, to find non-kinetic solutions towards curbing the crisis.”
It also resolved to issue such further directives as deemed expedient in the circumstance to ensure compliance with its resolutions.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio described the killings as a “very unfortunate, barbaric and terrible tragedy for Nigeria”.
He said it was “a black Christmas for the country because the level of killings was unprecedented and the number of villages affected simultaneously was also unprecedented”.
“It is very clear that these attacks were very well coordinated and therefore we believe there was failure of intelligence and failure of timely reaction and the Senate is taking this very seriously.”
Father, son, vigilante killed in fresh attack
Three persons were killed in the attack by assailants in Durbi village of Shere district, Jos East Local Government Area on Saturday night.
Transition Implementation Committee Chairman, Markus Nyam, said the attackers invaded the village and killed a father and his son.
Nyam also said a member of the vigilantes, who engaged the assailants, was killed as the attackers fled.
The Joint Security Task Force Operation Safe Haven personnel responded to the community’s distress call, preventing the attackers from causing more damage.
COAS: arrests made
Lt-Gen. Lagbaja said some suspects in the Christmas Eve killings have been arrested and that security agencies are on the trail of others.
He led other Service chiefs on visits to the communities at the weekend.
Addressing members of one of the attacked villages in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, Gen. Lagbaja said: “Some people have been arrested. We will not reveal their names now because the investigation is still ongoing.
“We are still on the trail of some other people. We desire to round up everybody involved in this carnage in line with the directive of Mr President to ensure lasting peace in Plateau.”
He said the Federal Government was working to ensure that all the displaced persons returned home and that the communities were provided adequate security.
“We need your support as a people. We need the cooperation of the people to help the troops to succeed. Help us with information, and provide support to these troops.
“We are working towards ensuring all the displaced return to their ancestral homes as quickly as possible. Accept our condolences and our assurance that going forward this will not occur again,” Gen. Lagbaja said.
Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, accompanied by his Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation counterpart, Betta Edu, told Governor Mutfwang that the visit was on the directive of President Tinubu.
He said: “We are here on the directive of the President to commiserate with you and assure you of total commitment toward securing the lives and property of the people.
“I want to assure you that this incident will not occur again; these criminals will be crushed soon.”
Matawalle assured the governor that the humanitarian needs of the victims would be addressed.
“This is why the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs joined this delegation; she is expected to ascertain the humanitarian needs of the people,” he said.
A traditional ruler, Edward Bitrus, said it was the “saddest Christmas in all my 70 years in life”.
“We have been living peacefully in our community. I then wonder what led to these killings.
“Our children may not resume schools in January because the economic bases of the families have been razed by the attackers.
“Our investment in dry season farming has become a waste because the owners of the farms have been killed or displaced.
“Government must fish out these attackers so that victims will get justice,” he said.
Police deploy more men
Plateau Police Command said it has deployed more men to the troubled areas.
The spokesman, Alfred Alabo, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), said in a statement: “As part of measures to protect lives and properties in the affected areas, the Commissioner of Police, Okoro Alawari, has placed a ban on all forms of late-night spiritual and social gathering in Bokkos, Barkin-Ladi, Riyom and Mangu Local Government Areas.”
Also, the Plateau State Tourism Corporation & organisers of the Jos Christmas Festival announced the cancellation of all remaining events at the Jos Christmas Festival. | https://thenationonlineng.net/terrorists-deposited-arms-ahead-of-attacks-on-plateau-communities-says-senator/ | 2024-01-01T04:58:53Z |
FORT MYERS, Fla. — A Southwest Florida man is accused of attempting an abduction of a 4-year-old boy at a Walmart, authorities said.
According to Lee County Sheriff’s online booking records, Pablo Pintueles Hernandez, 64, of Lehigh Acres, was arrested Friday and charged with false imprisonment of a child 13 years old and under.
Surveillance video posted to the sheriff’s office Facebook page showed Pintueles Hernandez appearing to walk up to the child, grabbing his wrist and attempting to walk away with the boy, WINK-TV reported.
The video showed family members intervening and pulling the child away, WBBH-TV reported.
Analysts and deputies said they used advanced technology to identify and locate Pintueles Hernandez, WINK reported. Deputies responded to the suspect’s residence within an hour of viewing the footage, according to the television station.
“What this criminal did is incredibly disturbing,” Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said in a statement. “I never want anyone in Lee County to feel unsafe, especially going on a simple shopping trip. My team will stop at NOTHING to ensure criminals like this face the consequences of their actions.”
Pintueles Hernandez is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 29, court records show. | https://www.boston25news.com/news/trending/man-accused-trying-kidnap-4-year-old-boy-walmart/BHCFQABRXZCRTKSQP3JXBIR4VQ/ | 2024-01-01T04:58:54Z |

CM Yogi is implementing PM Modi's vision: JP Nadda
Addressing the inaugural ceremony of the Women's Half Marathon organised in Dubagga, Nadda said, "There is intense competition between those leading the country forward and those trying to pull it backwards."
- Country:
- India
Bharatiya Janata Party National President JP Nadda on Sunday said that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is working to implement Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mission 100 per cent on the ground. Under CM Yogi's leadership, UP has today come out of the identity of a BIMARU state and has joined the league of leading states in the country. Addressing the inaugural ceremony of the Women's Half Marathon organised in Dubagga, Nadda said, "There is intense competition between those leading the country forward and those trying to pull it backwards."
"Attacking the opposition, Nadda mentioned that while PM Modi and CM Yogi are leading the country and the state forward, Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav are only interested in securing the well-being of their own families," as per a press release. He mentioned that he feels fortunate to participate in the Women's Half Marathon, organised for women's empowerment. He further said that PM Modi talks about only four castes in the country, with women being the first, followed by youth, farmers, and the fourth being the economically disadvantaged. If we strengthen these four castes and give them strength, then no one can stop us from becoming a developed India.
"Discussing various welfare schemes run for women, farmers, youth and the poor, JP Nadda praised the efforts of the Yogi Adityanath government in implementing these initiatives effectively. He highlighted that, as a result, crores of people have risen above the poverty line and moved from the Below Poverty Line (BPL) to the Above Poverty Line (APL) category," the release stated. Nadda also commended CM Yogi for initiatives like the Fit India and Khelo India movements. He acknowledged the widespread development of sports infrastructure, including fully-equipped stadiums in every district and open gyms and sports fields in villages across the state.
"Nadda further said that Uttar Pradesh is writing a new tale of development today. Whether it is about women's empowerment, putting an end to the reign of mafias and corruption, or infrastructure development, Yogi Adityanath deserves congratulations for all these achievements," as per the release. JP Nadda described the opposition as the force that is pulling the country back and said that today there is a competition going on between those who are taking the country forward and those who are pulling it back.
"He pointed out that while the INDIA Alliance is chanting 'Modi-roko', our competition is to take India forward under Modi's leadership. He criticised those who previously showed no interest in national affairs but are now discussing the country's future. He further said that under the leadership of Modi-Yogi, the BJP will win all seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh," the release stated. During the program, CM Yogi Adityanath, BJP State President Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary, Deputy CM Brijesh Pathak, Union Minister Kaushal Kishore, Rajya Sabha members Dinesh Sharma, Ashok Vajpayee, State Government Ministers Suresh Khanna, Girish Chandra Yadav, Organisation Minister Dharampal, MLAs and other dignitaries were present.

MINNEAPOLIS — (AP) — 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.
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.
UP NEXT
Packers: host Chicago next Sunday.
Vikings: play at Detroit next Sunday.

Anyone who doesn’t know much about darts will drown relatively quickly between the numbers of the Order of Merit. There are even more than one. But more about that later. The most important list and the one that determines the seeds at the World Cup, that is the Order of Merit which looks back two years in time.
This means that the prize money (in British pounds) that darts players have won over the past 24 months is taken into account. So at the last two World Cups, two World Matchplays, two UK Opens, sixty Players Championships… Based on that, this was the top ten at the start of the World Cup, with Dimitri Van den Bergh at 15, Kim Huybrechts at 31 and Mike De Decker at 37.
1. Michael Smith – 1271.25
2. Michael van Gerwen – 1107.25
3. Luke Humphries – 1045.5
4. Peter Wright- 996.25
5. Gerwyn Price – 662.25
6. Nathan Aspinall – 647.5
7. Danny Noppert – 537.75
8. Rob Cross – 525.5
9. Jonny Clayton – 490
10. Damon Heta – 468.25
…
15. Dimitri Van den Bergh – 408
31. Kim Huybrechts – 196.75
37. Mike De Decker – 139
Under pressure
At the start of the World Cup, as with every tournament, the prize money earned two years ago disappears. That is why the darts world often talks about ‘defending’ prize money, by analogy with tennis. With a weaker performance compared to two years ago, the total amount earned drops, and that naturally creates pressure.
“It is easy to criticize from behind your computer or mobile phone, but come and do it yourself. Go and be under pressure on that podium, defend your title at the Match Play… You have to defend your place, your money, otherwise you will drop in the world rankings. That sometimes makes me so angry,” said Evi Loyaerts, Dimitri Van den Bergh’s fiancée, in an earlier interview.
At this World Championship, ‘The DreamMaker’ had a second round to defend, Kim Huybrechts a third round. Van den Bergh has not lost any money and remains stable, while The Hurricane has lost some pounds but is still making progress. The reason? Callan Rydz could not match his quarter-final from two years ago and was eliminated in the second round. Result: two places back for the Brit.
But the man who perhaps had to swallow the most was Peter Wright. The Scot saw his 2022 world title disappear from the world rankings. And he also went out in the second round. Result: Wright dropped in the world rankings from 4 to 7 and later even to 8. There was also a new number one from the start as Michael van Gerwen jumped over Michael Smith. The Dutchman had to forfeit the third round two years ago due to corona and therefore had little money to defend, while ‘Bully Boy’ reached the final at the time. Even more striking: Nathan Aspinall already went out in round two, but wins two places.
At the start of the quarter-finals this is the top ten:
1. Michael van Gerwen – 1132.25 (+1)
2. Michael Smith – 1106.25 (-1)
3. Luke Humphries – 1045.5 (-)
4. Nathan Aspinall – 637.5 (+2)
5. Gerwyn Price – 637.25 (-)
6. Rob Cross – 540.5 (+2)
7. Danny Noppert – 527.75 (-)
8. Peter Wright- 511.25 (-4)
9. Jonny Clayton – 490 (-)
10. Dave Chisnall – 489.5 (+1)
…
15. Dimitri Van den Bergh – 408 (-)
30. Kim Huybrechts – 186.75 (+1)
38. Mike De Decker – 139 (-1)
Another one that took a serious hit: James Wade. The Englishman played the semi-finals two years ago and was already eliminated in the second round. Good for a fall from 13th to 19th place on the Order of Merit. The numbers also turn seriously red for Alan Soutar (-10), Vincent van der Voort (-10), Mervin King (-22), Ian White (-8) and Martijn Kleermaker (-19).
There were big leaps forward for Scott Williams (+17), Boris Krcmar (+11), Matt Campbell (+10), Jim Williams (+8) and Ricky Evans (+8), among others. And of course Luke Littler (+92), but also Berry van Peer (+29) and Richard Veenstra (+9).
Pro Tour OoM
This year, 31 players also lost their so-called ‘tour card’, the two-year entry ticket to the Pro Tour. That is the highest level in darts. Anyone who is no longer in the top 64 after two years will suffer that fate. Including two Belgians: Brian Raman and Mario Vandenbogaerde. If the latter had won his match in the first round, he would probably have kept his tour card.
As mentioned earlier, there is a second Order of Merit and that is also important. 96 darts players qualified for the World Championship: the top 32 of the biennial world rankings, 32 international qualifiers and the top 32 of the Pro Tour Order of Merit. That is the world ranking of the past twelve months, which resets to zero every year. In this way, Vandenbogaerde and De Decker were allowed to go to the World Cup. This list is also often used for placement for other top tournaments. | https://www.breakinglatest.news/sports/how-kim-huybrechts-still-rises-in-the-world-rankings-despite-a-disappointing-world-cup-darts-and-michael-smith-was-already-number-1-before-the-tournament/ | 2024-01-01T04:58:56Z |

Sugar, an integral part of Indian culinary traditions, weaves a delightful tale of cultural significance that resonates throughout the diverse tapestry of Indian customs. From the iconic festivities of weddings to the vibrant celebrations of festivals, sugar takes center stage, symbolizing joy, abundance, and a collective sense of delight. Once revered as a luxury commodity reserved for the elite, sugar's scarcity and association with affluence enhanced its cultural importance, becoming a symbol of prosperity and success within Indian society. Indian cuisine encompasses a diverse range of sugar varieties, including granulated sugar, jaggery, and palm sugar, each lending its distinctive flavour to culinary creations.
Sugar assumes a foundational role, not only in adding sweetness to delectable sweets and desserts but also in striking a harmonious balance with the spices and flavours that define savoury Indian dishes. Whether it's the enticing aroma of a steaming cup of Masala Chai or the intricate craftsmanship of traditional mithais (sweets), sugar elevates the taste and sensory experience of countless culinary delights. Embedded within the fabric of Indian customs, sugar's cultural significance has evolved, interwoven with traditions and festivities. It has become an indispensable ingredient in the creation of traditional sweets that grace the tables during religious and cultural holidays. Togetherness can be forged over sweets.

In India, holidays are occasions for family reunions, and sweets are a key component in bringing people together. It's a time to share recipes, discover new ways to make sweets, and trade sweets with one another. Additionally, since India is a country with many different languages, faiths, and customs and each region has its own distinctive sweet foods, sweets are a reflection of the diversity of Indian culture. Sweets are a reflection of India's rich and diverse culinary past, from the rasgullas of Bengal to the jalebis of North India, the gulab jamuns of Maharashtra to the Mysore pak of South India. These mouth-watering treats transcend their edible form, symbolizing the interconnected emotions of happiness, and cherished relationships that are intricately linked to these momentous occasions.
Beyond its role in culinary traditions, sugar holds deep associations with hospitality, charity, and the delight of sharing in Indian culture. It finds expression in the generous distribution of sweets at weddings, where every guest is welcomed with a symbol of sweetness and warmth. Furthermore, sugar becomes a gesture of devotion in religious ceremonies, representing the essence of dedication and generosity. As India opened its doors to foreign influences and cultural exchanges, the culinary landscape experienced a delightful fusion of flavors and techniques. The introduction of Western desserts and baked goods into Indian cuisine expanded the horizons of sugar's usage and importance.

Traditional mithai walas (sweet vendors) began embracing these influences, skilfully infusing their creations with elements of chocolate and other Western ingredients. This newfound blend of flavours delighted palates across the nation, igniting a desire for fusion sweets that combined the best of both worlds. Today, people eagerly anticipate indulging in these innovative confections, which have become the centerpiece of weekend indulgences and special occasions. In the wake of growing health awareness and concerns regarding excessive sugar consumption, the cultural significance of sugar has also experienced shifts. Emphasizing the importance of moderation and balance, there is an increasing exploration of alternative sweeteners and healthier substitutes without compromising the essence of traditional Indian sweets and desserts.
This evolution ensures that the flavors and cultural heritage associated with sugar endure while adapting to the changing needs and preferences of a health-conscious society. Nevertheless, sugar remains deeply rooted in the heart of Indian culinary traditions, continuing to exude its cultural significance. It symbolizes sweetness, warmth, and the shared feeling of delight and celebration. To ensure the utmost hygiene and quality, packaged sugar has gained prominence over loose sugar. Packaged sugar not only meets stringent cleanliness standards but also provides convenience and precision in measurement, ensuring an optimal cooking and dining experience.
The cultural significance of sugar in Indian cuisine is a sweet symphony that celebrates the essence of happiness, abundance, and togetherness. As it entwines with the rich tapestry of Indian customs, sugar unveils the flavoursome heritage passed down through generations. It bridges cultural boundaries, infusing traditional delicacies with innovative flair. Whether savouring a classic mithai or indulging in fusion confections, sugar continues to inspire moments of pure delight, spreading its sweetness across the palates and hearts of all who savour it.

Olympics: Tokyo 2020 to establish «weather center» for heat, typhoons
Organizers reached an agreement with a private weather forecast company on Thursday, and are set to begin implementing full-scale countermeasures in collaboration with both the private and public sectors, including the Japan Meteorological Agency.
Weather-related concerns have been mounting after a historic heat wave hit the Japanese capital last summer. Organizers admitted in November that the threat posed by the extreme heat and typhoons is considered a "major issue."
While weather centers have been established at previous similar events, Tokyo 2020 organizers are placing more emphasis on the service after last summer's high temperatures prompted the weather agency to call the heat wave "a natural disaster."
More than 90 deaths were attributed to the heat in the city in July alone, with an area near Tokyo seeing a record temperature of 41.1 C. Other parts of the country were devastated last year by typhoons and floods.
Last winter, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach expressed the need for specific countermeasures for the July 24-Aug. 9 Olympics and Aug. 25-Sept. 6 Paralympics. Tokyo 2020 President Yoshiro Mori responded to the call by saying the heat risk is "one of the most important issues" organizers are facing.
Throughout the Tokyo Games, the weather center will analyze climate data in areas with competition venues, and send information to spectators via mobile phone apps and other channels on matters such as heat stroke prevention and forecasts of extreme weather.
It is expected the information will also be provided to athletes through their National Olympic Committees.
One member of the Japan Meteorological Agency has already joined the organizing committee as they begin addressing weather-related issues in the run-up to the games.
Several other countermeasures have already been proposed in anticipation of extreme weather with 18 months to go before Tokyo hosts the Summer Games for the first time since 1964.
Last year, Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party considered adopting daylight saving time during the games but abandoned the idea in October citing technological difficulties in making such a change in less than two years.
In December, Mori announced that, if the relevant federations agree, the marathon will start at 6 a.m., one hour earlier than previously scheduled. Rugby and mountain bike schedules have also been shifted to avoid the worst of the heat.
Other anti-heat measures -- such as more medical resources, non-heat-reflecting paving, water sprayers and more shaded areas for spectators -- have been expected to drive costs up, but the third game's budget released in December remained at 1.35 trillion yen, the same as outlined last year.
However, organizing committee President Toshiro Muto said at the time that pressure will come onto the budget figure due to heat countermeasures, among other factors. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/olympics-tokyo-2020-to-establish-weather-center-for-heat-typhoons_a3493986/ | 2024-01-01T04:58:58Z |

BRISBANE, Australia — (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.

Poonch/Jammu, December 31
PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti Sunday demanded a compensation of Rs 50 lakh, a government job and a residential plot for the families of three civilians who were found dead a day after being picked by the security forces following a terrorist ambush on two Army vehicles.
Mufti alleged that despite visits by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Army Chief Gen Manoj Pande no action has been taken to deliver justice to the victims.
“I urge the Lieutenant Governor to ask the defence minister to provide a compensation of Rs 50 lakh, a government job, and a roadside plot to the next of kin of the slain civilians. Injured individuals should be given Rs 5 lakh compensation,” Mufti told reporters.
She demanded a judicial probe into the incident.
The three civilians picked up by the Army for questioning after the terrorist ambushed two Army vehicles on December 21 in Poonch were found dead Friday last week.
The Jammu and Kashmir administration has announced monetary compensation and jobs to the families. It said the medico-legal formalities were conducted and legal action on the matter has been initiated.
The Army has ordered a thorough internal investigation into the civilian deaths and said it is committed to extending full support and cooperation in the conduct of the investigation.
Mufti questioned the ongoing inquiry. “We have seen the fate of probe reports in past incidents. Following the inquiry report of three youths killed by the Army in Rajouri, the officers admitted to fake killings but were let off. What probe will you do in this?” she questioned.
Mufti pointed out that an FIR was lodged against unknown persons in the latest case. “People are identifying police and army personnel, so how can they be unknown? If you don’t punish the culprits, you are promoting the criminalisation of the system. How can justice be served?” she alleged.
Mehbooba Mufti also said she was disallowed from meeting the affected families and the injured people, despite attempts.
“I tried to visit them. I was put under house arrest. Later, I was told you can go, as BJP J&K chief Ravinder Raina and NC leadership were allowed to the area. But they prevented me from going there. They wanted to hide atrocities committed on them. I wanted to visit hospital to meet the injured. Then I wanted to visit Bangie from where these people were picked up. I was prevented from moving forward on the pretext of search operation,” she said.
She stressed the need for empathetic engagement with the affected families and open dialogue to effectively resolve grievances.

"New Year greetings to all Telangana people. ' Praja Palana' ( People's government) has been reinstated with the support of all sections of people in the state," Revanth Reddy said.
"We removed iron grills, and barricades and liberated from all restrictions and introduced people's participation in the governance. The government fulfilled the promise of revival of democracy and freedom for all citizens," he added. The Chief Minister said that two guarantees out of the six guarantees have already been implemented.
"My government is ready to implement the four other guarantees in the new year. My government aspired to extend welfare benefits to all who deserve and promote Telangana as the number one state in development in the country," he said in the greetings. Telangana government accorded priority to youth empowerment and prepared action plans to provide them bright future through modern technology. The government is ready to overhaul the entire education system from primary level to higher education, said the Chief Minister
"We are committed to fulfilling the assurances given to the farmers," he said. The Chief Minister said that his government resolved to consider the new year as the year of " Women, Farmer and Youth ".
"We determined to revamp the stalled government administration. All the systems will be reconstructed in tune with 'Praja Palana '.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt adores GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
He’s said his late father, Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt, loved the 50-year-old football stadium as much as any place on the planet.
So, it’s no surprise that Hunt reiterated Sunday after the Chiefs clinched an eighth straight AFC West title and made the playoffs for the 10th time in Andy Reid’s 11 seasons with the franchise that the team wants to stay put amid the Royals’ ongoing push for a new stadium.
The Chiefs, it seems, would eschew pushing for their own new stadium, preferring instead to renovate Arrowhead again.
“Nothing’s changed from our perspective,” Hunt said. “We’re still focused on Arrowhead. We believe it’s one of the best stadiums in the National Football League. And we hope to make it our home for at least another 25 years.”
RELATED | Mayor Lucas, all city council members sign letter urging Royals to stay in Kansas City
But that last bit — that Hunt and the Chiefs are eyeing a 25-year commitment to stay at Arrowhead — may be a sticking point moving forward.
The lease agreements for the Chiefs and Royals are tethered to Jackson County’s 3/8-cent sales tax, which was last renewed in 2006 for a 25-year term.
The Royals are believed to be seeking a 40-year extension of the sales tax if they opt to move downtown into a new stadium.
However, there’s no way to approve a 40-year agreement for the Royals and a 25-year agreement for the Chiefs under the existing structure.
The Royals have yet to decide — or, at least, have yet to publicly announce — a preference between a downtown stadium, moving to a site in North Kansas City or some other option.
But Hunt has made it clear that the Chiefs’ preference is to stay put for another quarter-century.

Oskemen hosts Regional Youth Forum
Under "Yenbek Jastary" ("Working Youth") project, it is planned to provide at least 22,000 young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) with education, advanced training, and employment. Among the regions of the country, East Kazakhstan has the lowest share of NEET and youth. In 2018, as part of Jas Project, young people got government support for the implementation of their initiatives - a grant of up to 1 million tenges, and underwent a unique program of vital skills training and project management. The participants were paid a monthly social scholarship.
Regional Coordinator Serik Zhunussov pointed out that the joint project of the World Bank and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan made it possible to support many good initiatives.
"In 2018, 149 projects were implemented. We completed the last training session, where we told the participants about social entrepreneurship and how to continue their businesses after the completion of the project. Now they are ready to work independently," he said.
By the way, most of the projects are aimed at developing villages, healthy lifestyle, helping young mothers and socially vulnerable groups of the population. The region's young people established 34 meat and dairy production farms, 20 educational courses, 29 leisure centers and creative skill networks, 12 mini-poultry farms, 10 sports centers and fitness clubs, 8 bakeries, pastry shops and cheese factories, 4 sewing workshops, 4 beauty salons, and 4 car repair shops.
"Young mothers with children aged under 3 were involved in our project. We taught them the basic skills of infant massage. (...) We have educated 3 twenty-people groups," Zhalgas Oralbayev told about ‘In Aid of Mothers' project.
Aidar Sadyrbayev, Deputy Head of the East Kazakhstan Domestic Policy Department, highlighted that funding for grants and scholarships for the project participants in the region has totaled KZT 265 million.
"Jas project has boosted many social initiatives and original ideas. Young people in rural areas have been given the opportunity to create a basis for their businesses and careers. It should be mentioned that our youth are very active and have a responsible attitude towards project implementation. We should do targeted work and support our youth, and this, in turn, will effectively affect socialization and employment," he concluded.
Kazinform reported that on January 23, President Nursultan Nazarbayev officially kicked off the Year of Youth in Kazakhstan. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/oskemen-hosts-regional-youth-forum_a3492677/ | 2024-01-01T04:59:05Z |

Michael Jordan Could Become Owner of Chicago Bulls
International media reports have suggested that Michael Jordan, considered by many to be the best basketball player of all time and the symbol of the Chicago Bulls, may become the owner of the franchise. To do so, he would have to pay an exorbitant sum of $4.6 billion, according to an analysis by Forbes magazine. The Bulls posted an operating income of $115 million during the 2022-23 season, which includes interest earnings, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
The Bulls are currently owned by Jerry Reinsdorf, who acquired the basketball franchise in 1981 along with the MLB’s Chicago White Sox. Reinsdorf and Jordan have had some public disputes over the years, but Reinsdorf has praised Jordan as the greatest player of all time.
Jordan has expressed his love for the franchise and his desire to return the team to the highest level. In June 2023, it was announced that Jordan had sold the Charlotte Hornets for $3 billion, making a significant profit. His intention was to carry out a smart business move and obtain economic benefits.
It seems likely that the great legend of the Illinois team will become the owner of the franchise where he established great love and admiration from the fans during his 13 seasons of play. | https://www.breakinglatest.news/sports/look-at-the-incredible-amount-of-money-michael-jordan-would-have-to-pay-to-buy-this-basketball-team/ | 2024-01-01T04:59:04Z |
MINNEAPOLIS — (AP) — 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.
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.
UP NEXT
Packers: host Chicago next Sunday.
Vikings: play at Detroit next Sunday.

Wood River, Illinois- An Illinois father took matters into his own hands last week after learning his daughter had suffered an assault at the hands of a violent perpetrator.
The angry father shot the man in the street.
The incident involving the father and alleged perp occurred off North 6th Street, right by Lewis and Clark Junior High School in Wood River, Illinois according to police.
Patch Illinois revealed that police officers in Wood River received a report around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday of a domestic battery at a home on Mildred Street. As KTVI reported, a severely beaten woman went to her parent’s house and revealed to them and police the person responsible for assaulting her.
Police responded by going to her parents’ address, only to find the female had gone to meet officers at the Mildred Street home. The woman’s father had also left his house.
The female’s father had gone out and managed to track down the individual who hurt her. He then shot the lowlife in the middle of the street on North 6th.
Here is KTVI’s video report on the incident:
KTVI exclusively spoke with neighbors who witnessed the shooting. One neighbor revealed that after he heard a gunshot, he stepped outside and saw the woman’s father standing over a younger male, pointing a gun at him.
He heard the younger man beg the father not to shoot him. The older man, in response, screamed, “That’s my daughter! She means everything to me!”
According to the neighbor, the father then shot the thug and waited for police to arrive. The neighbor said he heard the younger man screaming in severe pain while the father did not appear seriously injured.
Police confirmed both men suffered gunshot wounds. One was taken to the hospital by ambulance, the other via helicopter.
Most residents KTVI spoke to did not blame the father for defending his daughter. However, local resident Dawn Howard thought the situation could have been handled differently.
“It’s hard to blame a parent. There’s five girls in our family, and I can see all of our dads going after a guy,” Howard said. “But with a gun? No…beat him up; don’t shoot him.”
Police, at this point, have not released the names of the men involved and refuse to say if either has been charged. The Wood River Police Department plans to turn the case over to the Madison County State’s Attorney once they finish their investigation according to KTVI. | https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/12/thats-my-daughter-she-means-everything-me-illinois/ | 2024-01-01T04:59:10Z |
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After clinching another division title Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs are locked into the No. 3 seed in the AFC and are guaranteed a chance to try to repeat as Super Bowl champions.
“Our goal is obviously to continue to win,”quarterback Patrick Mahomes said.
But the road likely will be tougher than any other season of Mahomes’ career with a road playoff game almost assured, assuming the Chiefs advance past the Wild Card round.
Still, Kansas City earned the right to host a game in two weeks in the Wild Card round with Sunday’s win against Cincinnati.
“The guys were excited,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “I don’t need to say much. They understand. I’ve got leaders who have been through this before. They enjoyed it, but at the same time, they’re going to want more.”
Baltimore earned the top seed and a bye with its demolition of Miami earlier Sunday.
The winner of next week’s Buffalo at the Dolphins game clinches the second seed with the Chiefs falling next in line, owning the tiebreaker over all three teams still alive in the AFC South for a shot at that division crown — Jacksonville, Indianapolis and Houston.
If the Bills beat the Dolphins, Tyreek Hill and company will play at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium this season after all.
Such a scenario would lock Miami into the sixth seed behind the division winners and AFC North runner-up Cleveland, which is locked into the No. 5 seed.
However, if the Dolphins win, the possibilities are close to endless.
There are scenarios that land Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Houston or Indianapolis in Kansas City for the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs.
On Sunday, all the Chiefs cared about was that they were part of the tournament again.
“Now you’re in the playoffs and it’s one game, single elimination, and I think we can go out there and compete with anybody,” Mahomes said.
In other words, there’s no reason for Patrick Mahomes to play next week at the Los Angeles Chargers.
“I didn’t know that [we were locked into the third seed], so I kind of just let Coach Reid make all those decisions,” Mahomes said. “If he wants us to get out there and build off this momentum that we have, I’ll be ready to go, and, if he wants to give us some rest, then I’ll get that rest, be prepared for whoever we play and be ready to go in the playoffs.”
The decision may be more difficult for two other key veteran players.
Tight end Travis Kelce needs 16 yards to extend his streak of 1,000-yard seasons, which currently sits at an NFL-record seven in a row.
It’s unclear if or how much that streak matters to Kelce, who didn’t speak with reporters after the game.
Meanwhile, defensive end Chris Jones has 9 1/2 sacks, which leaves him a half-sack from earning a $1.25-million bonus.
“I want to play,” Jones said with an exaggerated facial expression for hilarious emphasis. He later added that he understands the value of the bye week from past playoff seasons, “and if Coach Reid decides to rest us, I’ll take the rest and use the week off to heal up some hicks and bruises.”

After lithium-ion batteries burned in a large cargo ship's hold for a number of days, the US Coast Guard said late Saturday that the fire was out and directed the ship to anchor near Dutch Harbour, Alaska.
The 19 crew members of the ship, Genius Star XI, were uninjured and technicians from the Salvage and Marine Firefighting team remain onboard to ensure the fire doesn't return, according to a Coast Guard press release.
“This protected anchorage ... will allow the vessel to?remain stable, minimizing risk of any re-flash of the fire?as we continue our response,'' Capt. Chris Culpepper said in the press release, which said an investigation into the fire's origins will begin once response efforts wrap up.
Genius Star XI was shipping lithium-ion batteries from Vietnam to San Diego. The crew alerted the Coast Guard early Thursday morning to the fire, after pumping carbon dioxide into hold No. 1 — where the blaze began — and sealing it, fearing an explosion.
The Coast Guard diverted the 410-foot (125-metre) cargo ship to Dutch Harbour, one of the nation's busiest fishing ports located in Unalaska, an Aleutian Islands community about 800 miles (1,287 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage.
Arriving Friday, Genius Star XI was kept 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from shore to mitigate the risks of toxic gases produced by the fire to the community and environment while responders worked to extinguish the flames, Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Mike Salerno said in an email to The Associated Press.
There have been no oil leaks associated with the fire, according to the ship's owners, Wisdom Marine Group.

For now he has only been on the pitch for less than 350 minutes (just over 400 minutes if you also count the Italian Cup and Champions League). His first league goal arrived on Friday evening, yet the news had already written about him. Or rather, some of his friends. We are talking about Gustav Isaksenthe new exterior of the Lazio by Maurizio Sarri, who arrived in the summer from Central Jutland for the sum of 12 million euros. An experience in Rome that hasn’t taken off yet or that could do so right now, thanks to the goal that gave La the comeback against Frosinone. Other news, however, had made his name bounce on search engines. Even if for facts that have little to do with football.
Isaksen’s friends in handcuffs, what happened?
Let’s take a step back, let’s go back to last September’s match between Lazio and Atletico Madrid. In the Authority Stand, invited by the footballer himself, there are four friends, among whom there would also appear to be Emil, Isaksen’s brother. Ages between 20 and 25, before the match in the streets of the center (they had been spotted in Via del Corso, in already suspicious conditions, reports Il Messaggero) and finally a stop in the hospitality area of the Olympic Stadium, where the staff were forced to close the bar precisely because of their constant requests. Finally the match, with the four who, visibly drunk, began to be a nuisance for the rest of the public, so much so that the police were called in. From here the situation begins to degenerate: two of the four young people resist, insult the police and almost come to blows. Handcuffs begin for them, with new insults, pushes and physical contact. “F**k the police! Italian police sh**t!”, shouted excitedly two of the group, who spent the night in the security cells of the Prati police station in the capital. Then, the next day, the direct trial and, after choosing the plea bargaining ritual, the sentence arrives for 2 months and 20 days, with a suspended sentence. And of course the Daspolasting five years.
Who is Gustav Isaksen? Statistics and data
The Lazio player, obviously, did not comment. But they have been difficult days for the 2001 class, who landed in the summer in what for him is his first great adventure in a top European team. He grew up in Midtjylland, with which he achieved 33 goals in 139 gamesalso winning the top scorer ranking last season, The Isaac he has also completed the entire process of the Danish youth national teams and is currently involved in the Under 21 selection. A left winger with great technique, skilled at dribbling, fast, a lover of one-on-ones, he fits perfectly with the tactical scheme of Maurizio Sarri. Waiting to be talked about and not just his gods, his bad guys, his friends. | https://www.breakinglatest.news/sports/those-bad-friends-of-gustav-isaksen-the-new-lazio-winger/ | 2024-01-01T04:59:12Z |

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Cincinnati Bengals can’t help but chirp about the Kansas City Chiefs.
Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase said there was “nothing” special about the Chiefs’ secondary during a mid-week interview, claiming that the team’s success was all about scheme.
“It’s not really like they’ve got a Jalen Ramsey on their squad,” Chase said.

Cincy’s trash talk is nothing new.
“They do this every year — last year, the playoffs, this year,” defensive tackle Chris Jones said.
But Kansas City’s secondary admitted that they heard Chase’s message loud and clear — and took it personally.
“If anybody’s got anything to say about the Chiefs, obviously we’re going to take it personally, but I thought we did a good job of staying quiet, not saying much, then going out here and showing it,” cornerback Trent McDuffie said.
The Bengals were one of the few teams in recent years who’ve managed to back up their bluster with wins against the Chiefs in recent seasons, but that changed with last season’s AFC Championship Game.
Cincinnati came up short again Sunday in the fifth meeting with Kansas City during the last three seasons.
The Chiefs certainly took note of the fact that Chase, who was questionable for the game with a shoulder injury, had a quiet game. He finished with three catches for 41 yards on seven targets, though he also drew a pass interference flag that led to a touchdown.
“Kudos to Sneed,” Jones said. “Every top receiver that we’ve played against, Sneed has held his own.”
Asked why Chase didn’t have a particularly good game, Reid said, “I’ve got no comment on that. I’m going to just let the film speak for itself, and we’ll leave it at that.”
But he admitted that the secondary was well aware of Chase’s comments.
“Absolutely, appreciate it, thank you,” Reid said. ‘I hung it up in my locker.”
That was Chase’s goal — at least, in part.
“They can take it how they want to, I don’t care,” Chase said. “... I’m just adding fuel to the fire. They’re going to take this and run with it. I hope they put this in their locker. But it’s alright as long as I’m mentally ready to play.”
Ja’Marr Chase didn’t back track at all when asked about his assessment of Chiefs defense. “They can take it how they want. I don’t care. … I’m not Ironman. I can’t throw the ball to myself. It’s a team sport.” pic.twitter.com/KmnaKIcLYe
— Mike Petraglia (@Trags) December 28, 2023
Sometimes, you have to be careful what you wish for.
“I think these two teams like to play each other and compete,” Reid said. “That’s what I saw. “There’s going to be some chippy things that go on. That’s the nature of the game, but it was great for the fans to watch and great for the coaches standing on the sideline. It’s great competition.”

In a recent conversation, Taapsee Pannu shared an amusing anecdote about how she secured her role in Dunki. She remarked, "Actually thoda funny hai mere liye bhi kyunki Dunki ka call jo pehla aya tha wo Raju Sir ka hi aya tha but usey pehle kaafi jagah aa chuka tha I am being considered for this film and I am doing this film and just like any other rumour, maine kaha ye toh possible hi nahi hai.

[Before Sir called me, there were rumours doing the rounds that I am being considered for the film and just like the other rumour, I thought, this isn't possible. So I was just happy that that for the first time there is a good rumour about me.]”
“But then I got a call from Sir (Rajkumar Hirani).

A woman delivered her baby at the gate of the District Women's Hospital after its staff allegedly refused to admit her as she did not have money to pay the fees. The baby died soon after birth.
Budaun District Magistrate Manoj Kumar said on Sunday that an investigation has been ordered into the matter.
According to the family of the woman, Neelam, a resident of Kabulpura locality here, they took her to the District Women's Hospital after her labour pain started on Saturday evening.
Neelam's husband Ravi claimed no doctor was available in the hospital and the staff there refused to admit his wife. After an argument, the hospital staff asked her to pay Rs 5,000 for tests, he alleged.
Ravi alleged that when he and his wife expressed their inability to pay the money, the hospital staff ''pushed'' them out.
By the time the family reached the hospital gate, Neelam was in extreme pain and delivered the baby there. The baby died soon after due to lack of treatment and cold weather, he said.
District Magistrate Kumar said the city magistrate has been asked to probe the incident.
''This is a very serious matter. Such negligence cannot be forgiven under any circumstances,'' he said.
The hospital staff ''mistreated'' the woman by refusing to admit her. The city magistrate has been instructed to investigate the incident and submit a report in three days, he said.
Based on the report, strict action will be taken against those found guilty, Kumar said.

Patna: The visuals of a Dalit woman being beaten by a cop in public view in Bihar's Sitamarhi has raised concerns over police brutality and prompted a public demand for action.

Jammu, December 31
The Economic Offences Wing of the Jammu Crime Branch presented a 396-page chargesheet against a couple for duping people of Rs 35 lakh on the pretext of kitty parties.
The chargesheet was produced against Pinky Gupta and her husband Shiv Partap Gupta of Rehari Colony in Jammu in the court for judicial determination.
They are accused of hatching criminal conspiracy, cheating and defrauding the complainant and other gullible citizens of their hard earned money by luring them to deposit money in the garb of kitty parties with the promise of paying hefty interests.
A written complaint was lodged by a complainant Neelam Malhotra and others in Crime Branch wherein it was alleged that the couple allured them on the pretext of providing handsome returns on the deposits and after taking the money from them, the accused fled away thereby duping them of Rs 35 lakh.
“On receipt of the complaint, criminal proceedings were initiated against the culprits with the approval of crime branch headquarters. During the course of preliminary inquiry, the allegations levelled were prima-facie substantiated as the omissions and commissions on the part of accused constitute offences of cheating, criminal misappropriation and criminal conspiracy,” an official said.
He said accordingly a formal case FIR was registered in Economic Offences Wing of the Crime Branch against the accused for in-depth investigation. During the course of investigation all the evidence, including oral, documentary as well as scientific, was gathered and the accused persons who were constantly on a run outside J&K to evade arrest in the instant case were finally arrested.
“For their involvement in duping other innocent people, criminal proceedings are being initiated separately,” the official said.

India making defence ecosystem for self-reliance: Rajnath
- Country:
- India
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said the government is developing a strong base of domestic defence industrial ecosystem to make the country a strategic economy.
Addressing the 21st Convocation of Tezpur University here, Singh said his ministry is making all efforts to achieve the target of becoming self-reliant in the defence sector.
''Our government is developing a strong base of domestic defence industrial ecosystem to make India a strategic economy'', he said.
Highlighting the various steps taken by the Ministry of Defence, Singh stressed that for the first time, the import of arms went down while exports rose.
''We issued five positive indigenisation lists, under which 509 defence equipment have been identified whose manufacturing will now be done indigenously.
''In addition, we have also issued four positive indigenisation lists of Defence Public Sector Undertakings, in which 4,666 items have been identified and these will now be manufactured in our country,'' he added.
Talking about the domestic defence manufacturing, Singh said that the production has crossed the record figure of Rs 1,00,000 crore for the first time.

Thousands Celebrate New Year in Spain
The arrival of 2024 was celebrated with great enthusiasm and excitement in Spain, as people gathered in various cities to welcome the new year. In Madrid, up to 15,000 people gathered in Puerta del Sol to ring in the new year with a festive atmosphere.
In a show of security measures, a deployment of 800 National Police officers ensured the safety of the celebrations in the capital. This was an increase from the previous year, with an additional 200 officers present, reflecting the reinforced level 4 terrorist alert.
In Valencia, the new year was welcomed with a spectacular display of fireworks, with four simultaneous fireworks displays using two tons of gunpowder. The festivities lasted for about eight minutes, creating a dazzling and memorable experience for those in attendance.
Meanwhile, Barcelona bid farewell to 2023 with a pyrotechnics and drones party on Avenida de la Reina María Cristina. The sky was illuminated with almost half a thousand drones flying 250 meters above sea level, drawing the image of grapes and marking the 12 bells at midnight.
Overall, the new year celebrations in Spain were marked by joyous and lively gatherings, with people coming together to usher in the arrival of 2024. | https://www.breakinglatest.news/world/spain-celebrates-the-arrival-of-the-year-2024-with-some-15000-people-in-sol-and-celebrations-throughout-the-country/ | 2024-01-01T04:59:28Z |
New Zealanders were among the first in the world to celebrate the arrival of 2024
As the world bids farewell to 2023, Google joined the New Year's Eve festivities with its customary doodle. Google marked the occasion with a new animated doodle, urging others to "leap", signifying the start of a leap year.
According to the description, Google Doodle wrote, “3… 2… 1… Happy New Year!"
It added, “This Doodle brings some sparkle and shine to start off New Year right! As the clock nears closer and closer to midnight, people around the world are planning their new year's resolutions and wishing for success, love, joy, and everything in between."
Cities across India also welcomed the new year with lavish celebrations and joy. Goa dazzled with a magnificent display of fireworks, and people gathered at Mumbai's Gateway of India to welcome 2024.
The past year proved significant for India on both the national and global fronts. The G-20 summit convened in the national capital, while Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the Moon's South Pole. From the inauguration of Ayodhya's much-awaited Ram Temple to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the new year marks the beginning of a new chapter for India.
Notably, Kiribati, an island nation with 33 atolls, was the first place to bid farewell to 2023 and welcome 2024 as the International Date Line loops around its easternmost islands. The International Date Line, established in 1884, plays a crucial role in marking the official start and end of each day worldwide.
This imaginary line, located 180 degrees East or West, precisely sits halfway from the prime meridian in Greenwich, UK, defining time zones.

Srinagar, December 31
Kashmir reeled under cold wave conditions on Sunday as the minimum temperatures across the Valley stayed several degrees below the freezing point, officials said here. The minimum temperature in the summer capital Srinagar dropped to -3.4 degrees Celsius from the previous night's -2.8 degrees Celsius, they said.
Pahalgam in south Kashmir's Anantnag district which serves as a base camp for the annual Amarnath Yatra recorded a minimum temperature of -3.4 degrees Celsius, up from the previous night's -4.1 degrees Celsius.
Gulmarg, the famous ski-resort in Baramulla, recorded a low of -3.5 degrees Celsius, down from -2.5 degrees Celsius the previous night. Qazigund recorded a low of -2.6 degrees Celsius, Kokernag town -1.4 degrees Celsius and Kupwara -3.8 degrees Celsius.
There was some snowfall and rains in Kashmir during December which resulted in the prolonged cold wave conditions. Kashmir is under the grip of the 40-day harsh winter period 'Chilla-i-Kalan'. The chances of snowfall are the highest during this period and most areas, especially the higher reaches, receive heavy snow. 'Chilla-i-Kalan' will end on January 31.
However, the cold conditions will continue even after that with a 20-day ‘Chilla-i-Khurd’ and a 10-day ‘Chilla-i-Bachha’.
The minimum temperature was -9.2 degrees Celsius in Leh town of Ladakh. Meanwhile, the New Year revellers may have to do without the traditional snowfall this year as the cold wave and dense fog sweep across Kashmir with little prospect of any fresh snowfall.
The Meteorological Department, Srinagar, said the weather was likely to remain cold and dry. — Agencies

Right from the opening drive of the game, the Pittsburgh Steelers were out to make a statement offensively, especially in the running game.
Mission accomplished Sunday in a 30-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks.
The Steelers gained 202 yards on the ground with three touchdowns, dominating from start to finish against the Seahawks’ run defense, which came into the game with the sixth-most yards per game allowed on the ground in the NFL.
Behind an offensive line that was bullying people snap after snap, running backs Jaylen Warren and Najee Harris had huge days, barreling their way through the Seahawks’ defense. Harris rushed for 122 yards on 27 carries and added two touchdowns, while Warren added 75 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries.
Both had some rather impressive “Angry Runs” too that will undoubtedly show up on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football early in the week. The physicality with which Harris and Warren ran with was rather impressive to Steelers rookie right tackle Broderick Jones. Speaking to reporters after the game from inside the locker room, Jones stated that it’s a good feeling watching the running backs dominate physically the way they did Sunday.
“I just give it up to the running backs, how physical they were today, making people miss,” Jones said to reporters, according to video via Steelers.com. “Najee’s got a great stiff arm. Like us as a o-line, we love to see that. So just them being physical and just continue to dominate and continue to just run through people’s faces, it’s just, it’s a good feeling.”
It certainly is a good feeling for the offensive linemen, especially when they see the fruits of their labor in-game pay off the way that they did on Sunday. The Steelers’ offensive line controlled the game from start to finish, especially on the ground, moving Seattle defenders off the spot, creating ample rushing lanes for Harris and Warren.
The dynamic running back duo rewarded the Steelers’ offensive line, too. They took advantage of the holes and made plays happen. Both Harris and Warren ripped off 23-yard runs. Both refused to go down on first contact and made plays happen even after unblocked defenders got to them at times.
Harris had a violent stiff arm on the perimeter on Seattle cornerback Tariq Woolen and also had a physical run on his 23-yarder, dragging defenders with him. Both of his touchdowns were great-effort plays, one of which was him breaking a pair of tackles and fighting to the goal line. The other was him getting help from teammates being pushed into the end zone.
Warren had some great runs, too, spinning off a tackle at the line of scrimmage and stiff-arming Seattle rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon on one run, and then barreling through some defenders and dragging guys with him on his 23-yard run.
That’s the best view in the world for offensive linemen, watching their running backs physically dominate the defense. The Steelers’ offense saw that quite a bit on Sunday, and it was quite enjoyable. | https://steelersdepot.com/2023/12/broderick-jones-its-a-good-feeling-watching-steelers-rbs-dominate-physically/ | 2024-01-01T04:59:33Z |

Naomi Osaka made a winning return to tennis as she beat Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch 6-3 7-6 in the first round of the Brisbane International.
The former world number one has not played since withdrawing from the Pan Pacific Trophy with a knee injury in September 2021. She became a mother for the first time in July.
She returned to the court in style, breaking Korpatsch to love in the first game and did not face a break point as she clinched the first set in 39 minutes.
Osaka looked set for a routine victory when she broke for a 5-3 lead in the second set, but Korpatsch fought back to take it into a tie break – Osaka winning 11-9 on her third match point.
“The last couple of years that I played before I had my daughter, I didn’t return as much love as I was given,” Osaka said on court after the match. “I feel like that’s what I want to do in this chapter.
“I just really appreciate people coming out and knowing me and cheering for me because I feel like there was a time I was just a little kid trying to watch my role models play.
“So it feels really surreal sometimes to be playing on these courts.”
The former US Open and Australian Open will meet Karolina Pliskova, another former world number one and a three-time champion in Brisbane, in the second round. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/4854588/former-world-number-one-naomi-osaka-makes-winning-return-to-action/ | 2024-01-01T04:59:33Z |

Militants also took around 250 people hostage, most of whom remain in Gaza.
Jerusalem: Seconds after ringing in the new year on a lively street in Tel Aviv, some young Israelis found themselves running for cover while others kept the party going with a shrug as missile defence systems intercepted a barrage of rockets overhead.
The attack at the stroke of midnight, just as many were trying to forget about the war in the Gaza Strip, seemed to underscore the fatigue at the ongoing fighting expressed by many of the young revellers gathered to celebrate New Year's Eve.
"We were all afraid on the corners... my heart was pounding," Gabriel Zemelman, 26, said in front of a bar after the rocket fire.
"It's not like the usual life you imagine, even me who was born here," he added. "It's terrifying. You just saw the life we live, it's crazy."
The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, claimed responsibility for the attack in a video published on social media, saying they had fired M90 rockets in "response to the massacres of civilians" carried out by Israel.
The Israeli army confirmed the attack, without initially reporting any casualties or damage.
The street in Tel Aviv was crowded with partiers on Sunday night in spite of the ongoing war in Gaza, which has dragged on for nearly three months.
Gelerenter, a 17-year-old student, said she had initially been "afraid" to come out, but ultimately decided to join her friends to celebrate "a new beginning" for 2024.
Musician Boaz Bates said he was "praying for peace, for people to stop hating each other and come together".
The 25-year-old was sharply critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, noting that "at the end of the day, it's not them who are on the ground fighting".
- 'Get on with our lives' -
Ido Hurvitz had come out for dinner at a restaurant before going to a private party to ring in the new year. He said he hoped "we can learn to live together, because most of us want peace".
Despite the festive atmosphere, the 24-year-old technology student said his own feelings were lukewarm: "Our country is at war, but we have to get on with our lives, that's our way of winning."
Beside him, 24-year-old reservist Shir Taitou, also had mixed feelings, explaining that she had wanted to come out, but was "sad" that some of her friends were mobilised in Gaza.
The war was triggered by Hamas's bloody October 7 attacks on Israel, which left around 1,140 people dead, most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. Militants also took around 250 people hostage, most of whom remain in Gaza.
In response, Israel launched a devastating offensive in the Gaza Strip, reducing vast areas of Gaza to a ruined wasteland and killing at least 21,822 people, mostly women and children, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
In front of one Tel Aviv bar, people danced in the street to blaring techno music under a large sign that read "Bring them home now!" -- a reference to the hostages.
Some didn't have the heart to party, like server Ran Stahl, 24, who opted to work the New Year's party.
"I dressed well tonight because I need to get my head above water," he said, explaining that one of his friends was among those killed on October 7 at the Supernova music festival.
Since then, he hasn't felt "allowed" to have fun, he said.
"The minute I start to dance, I feel guilty -- the sadness and mourning come back."

Fans will finally see the unmasking of the undisputed heavyweight champion in 2024 with the February 17th clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
The four heavyweight titles will be momentarily unified when WBC champion Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) and IBF, WBA & WBO champ Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) meet with all the belts at stake in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The Rematch Clause: A Thorn in the Side
Unfortunately, there’s a rematch clause in the contract for the Fury-Usyk fight, so fans will be stuck seeing these two fight a second time rather than the winner moving on to face Anthony Joshua or Filip Hrgovic.
Fans do NOT want to see Fury & Usyk fight a second time, as it’s a boring match-up, and not the interesting they want.
It’s disappointing that two champions are allowed to have a rematch clause because those things should only apply when it’s a champ making a voluntary defense. Imagine having a Super Bowl game where the loser can force a second game. It’s bad for the sport.
The IBF title will be stripped from the winner of the Fury vs. Usyk fight if the loser of the fight activates the rematch clause, which they will obviously do.
David vs. Goliath
On paper, the 270+ lb Fury should be able to crush the smaller 220-lb Usyk with his weight, but that’s probably not going to be the case. Fury’s size only helps against fighters that stand still in front of him, so he can grab, lean & maul them with his size.
The 2012 Olympic Usyk won’t stand still, and his skills are many levels better than Fury. His speed is also far superior to Fury’s, and this could be a frustrating fight for the slow, 35-year-old Tyson.
This would have been a better fight for Fury to take when was younger, physically fit, living the life, and still capable of moving around the ring.
Fury in his twilight years, chasing paydays
That version of Fury is long gone, as he’s now a middle-aged-looking fighter, who is heading towards retirement soon.
It’s believed that Fury only hangs on long enough to get the two fights against Usyk and Anthony Joshua. Once those four fights are over, Fury will likely hang up his gloves and retire a wealthy man.
Although the 37-year-old Usyk is two years older than the 35-year-old Fury, he’s physically a much younger man. The years haven’t been kind to Fury, as he’s aged, and the rich foods he’d stuffed down his piehole haven’t helped.
There’s a very good chance that Fury will lose his next four fights, and will end his career on a sour note, but it was bound to happen.
If you saw Fury’s fights with Wilder, watching him get dropped four times and dodging a couple of knockouts, it’s obvious that he would run into trouble once he fought Usyk & Joshua. Those guys are wrong for Fury.
Fury’s haters
What’s surprising is how many people are actively rooting against Fury, whom they loathe, seeing him as an indolent, self-indulgent, chubby fighter whom they want to see lose.
At this stage of Fury’s career, many fans watch him hoping he’ll lose because they want him gone or at least belt-less, where he could be ignored.
While the Brits love Fury, the rest of the world views him as bad for the sport because he fails to take on the talented heavyweights in the division.
They see him holding his WBC title hostage, putting the belt on hold, while he went and picked up a payday against Franciso Ngannou last October in Saudi Arabia. In Fury’s title defenses, he’s beaten his friend Derek Chisora, Dillian Whyte and Deontay Wilder. That’s not exactly the murderer’s row. | https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/unmasking-the-undisputed-2024-dawns-with-heavyweight-glory-in-sight/272720 | 2024-01-01T04:59:37Z |

It has been over a month since Newsha left her temporary home after finally being granted leave to remain in the UK. Her eyes light up as she recalls the community she found in the strange nether zone of her asylum hotel, a place she spent two years existing in near-suspended animation.
For the 26-year-old, the experience was something akin to lockdown. She couldn’t work, was unable to socialise properly, and was surrounded on all sides by what many have characterised as a 'hostile environment' towards refugees.
Her story is one of hardship and of bravery both on her part and the part of her parents. Newsha fled her homeland of Iran after threats of extreme violence were made against her, prompted by her conversion to Christianity.
"I fled my country because of religious persecution," Newsha explains from the comfort of a Feltham church sofa. "There are many things that are forbidden in my country, so I did what was forbidden and I had to escape."
Iran has seen increasingly repressive actions by the government in recent years, particularly after riots to protest the death of Mahsa Amini who died in police custody. After serious threats to Newsha's life, her father, desperate to get his daughter to safety, found a smuggler willing to get her out of Iran.
It is a decision that cost the family dearly, not only having to part with their daughter but Newsha says her mother handed over her entire pension to pay for it. "She still won't tell me exactly how much, she doesn't want me to feel guilty," Newsha said. She added, though, that she knows the money was enough to buy a house outright in Iran.
Flying directly to the UK from Iran, the simpler, safer and much cheaper option, was unavailable as Newsha explains that the government posts officers at airports to catch people fleeing. Instead, the then 24-year-old took the long and disorientating journey to reach safety, which started in the back of a truck heading for the Turkish border and ended in a church in Hounslow.
She admits that during the two weeks it took her to reach the UK she had no idea where she might end up. "I didn't know that I was going to be smuggled here. I didn't know I would be in the UK. The smuggler just promised to get me to a safe country.
“They also don't know what kind of passport they are going to get so they just get you out of the country where your life is endangered and then what passport they get they just work with that."
Frightened and alone Newsha did what the smuggler told her to. She waited in the toilet of Heathrow Airport for two hours, changed her clothes and turned herself in to the border services to claim asylum. "I don't know, either it was the effect of shock or I couldn’t process what was happening, but I think I was walking about 30 minutes and I couldn't find the passport controller.
"I walked and eventually found the passport controller and there was a lady standing at the front. I just pulled all of my guts in and said 'no passport' and the lady was so relaxed, I mean I was dying out of stress and she was so relaxed that I thought she didn't hear."
Newsha ended up in Heathrow's asylum processing area where she was interrogated by Home Office officials about who she was and where she came from. It was a struggle to get through for the young, frightened woman, even though she speaks very good English due to teaching it in Iran.
When an interpreter was called to help, Newsha said that the impact of her journey and the circumstances that caused it hit her like a ton of bricks. While trying to answer questions through an interpreter Newsha says she froze up.
'I burst into tears'
"Honestly, in that moment I even forgot my mother tongue, I couldn't talk. I had this ball splitting my throat and I just said 'No passport'. I just looked at [the interrogator] like a lamb that knows it's going to be slaughtered.
"After he saw that I really wasn't in a good condition. He just said 'ok, what's your name?' and because I couldn't say it, he just put a piece of paper and I wrote down my name and he said 'Newsha' and after almost two weeks, somebody calling your name was a really emotional thing and I just burst out into tears because for two weeks nobody called my name."
She was given a piece of paper with her details on it before being interrogated further. It was at this point that Newsha would witness the first sting of harsh, unsympathetic language which left its mark on her.
After the second, longer, and more thorough investigation of her details Newsha says she heard something that has stayed with her. "When [the investigator] wanted to hand me over to the custody he said 'We only need to do this and we can get rid of her', I could [barely] stand so it really hit me hard. It was really cruel [to hear] for someone who has just escaped from a country, why would you say that?"
However, there were acts of kindness. Once she was in custody Newsha says she found people a lot softer. "The custody people were really nice, they could see that I was in shock, so they just sat me down. He came in and said 'Do you need me to call someone?' and as soon as I heard the word call I just started crying and I couldn't breathe and later I found out that was my first panic attack ever.
"I was like 'my mum, my mum, my mum'. I think he called her on his own phone which must have cost a fortune."
After speaking to her parents, Newsha spent a night in Heathrow, before being moved on and eventually ending up in an asylum hotel in Hounslow around Christmas time 2021. "I was told 'you can volunteer and study as much as you want, but you can't work'."
Grateful for Home Office help
In terms of her living quarters, Newsha says she has no complaints. "They got me a really nice room for a single person. I didn't need to share it with anyone which was nice. I mean it's not a 5-star hotel but it was clean and nice.
"As the journey starts and you struggle with depression and anxiety and more panic attacks you are just tired of being in a hotel room. But eventually, you start to look at it like a home.
"I think it's good that the Home Office puts people in hotels in the beginning, but I hope it wouldn’t take two years because it is really hard to get detached from the hotel and the people there. It's good in the beginning because you are shocked, you don't have the capacity to do anything, so putting someone in a house and telling them they need to pay bills I think that would be really stressful. The food was horrible though."
She said that in the beginning, it was frozen food which they used to put in the microwave and "in the middle you could see it was frozen and bad quality". She added: "It was very spicy because they thought because we are from the Middle East that we eat spicy food. It was bad."
Newsha says that after a year the poor quality food caused people to suffer from stomach ulcers and babies who struggled with the spicy meals began suffering from malnutrition. She said: "Some people got really bad medical conditions [from the food] and went to the GP and then I think the council and Home Office worked together to get better food. They eventually changed the food to be better quality, better variety, vegetables."
Apart from the food, Newsha says that having worked as a teacher in Iran from 8am to 8pm, her inability to work hit her hard. Instead, in the UK, she did the exact thing, but voluntarily, teaching English and interpreting but without being able to get paid. "I got good references, but I look at and I go 'two years of my life, I didn't work for two years'."
Asylum seekers are given £8 a week allowance, which was not enough to even cover Newsha's bus fare to and from college. Although Newsha could cope with the hotel conditions she said the suspense of not knowing if she was going to be approved to remain was like "torture".
New year, new hope
It's been just over a month since she was approved to remain in the UK, and she has managed to find a teaching post in Hounslow starting in the New Year. However, she still doesn't have a home. Like many who get their confirmed refugee status, Newsha was unable to find somewhere of her own to live before the 7-day ‘grace period’ given to newly confirmed refugees before they are evicted from their hotel rooms.
"After two years, you get people approved to get kicked out of the hotel with 7 days notice and when they go to a landlord they go ‘oh ok, where is your employment letter? where is your deposit? where is your guarantor?’ [the Home Office] didn’t let me work for two years, how am I supposed to get the employment letter and the deposit?"
Local authorities, such as Hounslow Council, which often acts as a housing safety net for homeless refugees have also not been able to provide Newsha with anything. Newsha explains that she hasn’t been deemed a priority for a house "because I’m under 35 and I’m childless".
Luckily, she has found a home within the local Christian community, with someone from her local church who is currently letting her stay with them. Newsha is doing her best to build a life away from her home and her family, although her time in the Home Office hotel has left her with a lot to catch up on.
"Making me wait for two years. Making me write my stories with a pen that had no ink. In these two years, my life was on pause. So even if I can go to Turkey or another country and see my parents, it's been postponed for two years."
The Home Office has been contacted for comment.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The California Highway Patrol has more officers on the road during the holiday weekend.
CHP Officer Carlos Medina says the hope is to get you to your destination safely.
"It's kind of like an encouragement to ensure we're all following the traffic safety laws. Our families drive on the same freeways, so we want to ensure everyone is doing so safely," says Medina.
Driving under the influence and speeding are the most common stops Medina says officers conduct. But when more officers are on the road, he says people are conscious of their driving.
"I feel like people are more mindful of traffic. They are more likely to share space with other drivers," says Medina.
There's more to keeping roads safe from drunk drivers or people speeding.
While we were driving, Medina noticed someone on the side of the road. The person needed a jump, so Medina decided to help. It's the kind of interaction with drivers that he enjoys.
"The holiday weekend, more vehicles are out. There are more people that need some help. Sometimes, we can help them get off the freeway safely," says Medina. | https://abc30.com/california-highway-patrol-maximum-enforcement-speeding-drunk-driving/14252454/ | 2024-01-01T04:59:39Z |

One time might be a coincidence, but two times is a pattern. That is exactly the way things look for the Pittsburgh Steelers and their quarterback situation right now. Following a win over the Seattle Seahawks on the road in a hostile environment, QB Mason Rudolph is going to get a lot of praise this week—he deserves it. The Steelers were in the midst of a three-game losing streak and their season was in a tailspin until Rudolph took over and put up two of the best quarterback performances of the season for the team.
Against the Seahawks, Rudolph completed 18-of-24 passes for 274 yards and a 112.2 passer rating. That is back-to-back games with over 100 passer rating. He didn’t have any touchdown passes this time, but that is mostly because the running game did the heavy lifting. Still, Rudolph made some key plays and created splash with five explosive passing plays of 20 yards or more. He also chipped in as a runner with the Steelers using him on short-yardage situations to execute the quarterback sneak. Any way you look at the offense, it has been better since Rudolph took over as the starter.
Former Steelers DL Chris Hoke joined Bob Pompeani on the KDKA Nightly Sports Call and discussed what needs to happen going into the 2024 season at quarterback.
“Open competition means open competition,” Hoke said. “Last year’s open competition was closed. It was no question that Kenny Pickett was going to be the starting quarterback. He’s shown today who the better quarterback is – actually the last two weeks – with the production he’s put out there in scoring and yardage. If Mason’s going to stick around, you have to give him an opportunity to truly compete.
“You cannot just hand the keys back to Kenny. You have to make Kenny earn it, and by earning it against No. 1 players. In the preseason we talked about how exciting he was and his progression, but that was against backup primarily and so you’ve got to see him produce against starters and being able to throw the ball downfield because that completely opens up your offense.”
The bulk of a quarterback competition occurs in training camp and in the preseason. Looking at preseason play, it was pretty clear that Pickett earned the role. He participated in five drives and the offense scored a touchdown on all five of them. That being said, it wasn’t an “open competition.” Could the Steelers realistically enter the 2024 season in an open competition between Pickett and Rudolph? Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t think so, but the way things are trending, it seems possible. The Steelers are one win (and some outside help) away from the playoffs. With their level of play right now, it wouldn’t be out of the question to win a playoff game if they qualify. Should they do that and Rudolph is a reason why, then he would obviously have a chance to compete next offseason.
There is one major hurdle to get over in this scenario: Rudolph is not under contract next season. He could potentially price himself out of Pittsburgh, especially if there is uncertainty over who is the starter between him and Pickett.
“He has made himself a lot of money the last two weeks,” Hoke said. “He has proven the last two weeks that he is a legitimate NFL quarterback.” | https://steelersdepot.com/2023/12/chris-hoke-steelers-must-give-mason-rudolph-opportunity-to-truly-compete-for-starting-job-in-2024/ | 2024-01-01T04:59:39Z |
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson expressed deep concerns over what he perceives as escalating threats to former President Donald Trump, suggesting that the progression of opposition could ultimately lead to an assassination attempt.
In an intense discussion with former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, Tucker Carlson considered the series of actions taken against Donald Trump since his time in office — from protests and impeachment to recent indictments — and posited that the next step in an escalating sequence could be an assassination attempt.
“I mean, just chart it out. In the case of Trump, they started with protests. They moved to impeachment. Now they’re at indictment. None of it has worked. What’s next? What could possibly be next? If you felt and you really believed, and a lot of them do, that the worst thing that could happen to the country and more specifically to you in the professional class is to have Donald Trump as President. And everything you have tried has failed. And they have been accelerating steps, protests, impeachment, indictment,” said Carlson.
“How many more arrows do you have in your quiver? And what’s the next one? And of course, it’s assassination. And assassination happens around the world,” he added.
Carlson acknowledged bringing up the subject directly with Trump, noting that the former president did not engage on the topic. However, he stressed that the reality, as he sees it, necessitates facing the possibility of such an extreme scenario head-on.
“I said it directly to Trump, by the way, because it’s so obvious… And he did not engage with me at all on that subject. And I don’t know what he actually thinks of it, but he’s smart, and so he must know that that’s true,” said Carlson.

Pompeo says U.S.-N.K summit to be held in Asia
In an interview with Fox News, the top U.S. diplomat reaffirmed the plan to have the summit at the end of February and added, "We'll do it someplace in Asia."
While media reports have speculated that Vietnam will host the meeting, it's the first time that a U.S. official has revealed a location.
"I am dispatching a team," Pompeo said. "They're headed that way now to lay the foundations for what I hope will be a substantial additional step towards the path for not only denuclearization of the peninsula, but a brighter future for the North Korean people and security on the peninsula in a way that no previous administration's been able to achieve."
Trump and Kim held their first summit in Singapore in June and agreed to work toward the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in exchange for security guarantees for Pyongyang.
The sides have since wrangled over the exact terms, with the U.S. demanding more concrete denuclearization steps and the North seeking sanctions relief among other concessions.
Pompeo credited Trump with drawing the Singapore commitment from Kim.
"Now it's time for my team and all of the United States government to work with the North Koreans to execute that and to deliver on our commitment to denuclearize that peninsula," he said. "Chairman Kim has told us he's prepared to do it, and now the mission is to deliver on that."
A senior official at Seoul's foreign ministry said that high on the agenda for the upcoming preparatory working-level talks for the Trump-Kim summit may be the proposed dismantlement of the North's main Yongbyon nuclear complex and the U.S.' "corresponding measures" in return for that.
During his third summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in last September, Kim agreed to close the nuclear complex should the U.S. take measures correspondingly.
"As the North first talked of (the shutdown of the complex), the talks will focus first on the Yongbyon issue and then move to other (issues)," the official told reporters on condition of anonymity.
Both Seoul and Washington will view the dismantlement of the complex, the crux of Pyongyang's nuclear program, as "very significant" progress toward complete denuclearization, the official added.
He, in addition, anticipated that the U.S. may take a number of "considerable steps" should the North shutter the nuclear facility.
However, the U.S. still remains "adamant" when it comes to sanctions.
"Though the U.S. and the North may discuss the whole of the sanctions, I can't imagine the two sides negotiating over the resumption of the inter-Korean industrial complex in Kaesong," he said.
Earlier in the day, Seoul's foreign ministry said it will continue its diplomatic efforts to achieve the denuclearization goal despite growing skepticism over Pyongyang's will to forgo its nuclear program.
"South Korea and the U.S. are closely watching developments related to the North's nuclear activity through close bilateral cooperation," Noh Kyu-duk, the ministry's spokesman, told a press briefing.
Earlier this week, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats reportedly told Congress that Pyongyang is unlikely to completely abandon its nuclear weapons as its leaders ultimately view nuclear weapons as critical to regime survival. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/pompeo-says-u-s-n-k-summit-to-be-held-in-asia_a3493756/ | 2024-01-01T04:59:40Z |

A year ago, Derrick White led the Boston Celtics in blocked shots. The 6-foot-4 guard isn’t afraid to mix it up with the big boys.
White, however, had a chance to make an effort to block San Antonio Spurs 7-foot-4 rookie center Victor Wembanyama during Boston’s 134-101 victory on Sunday, December 31, but he thought better of it.
Derrick White: ‘I’m Not an Idiot’
White has a knack for the basketball. He’s easily one of the best shot-blocking guards in the NBA and he has a sneaky way of finding a way to get a piece of the ball on defense.
During Sunday’s win over the Spurs, Wembanyama broke free and was ahead of the back on his way in for a layup. White found himself trailing the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft who is a full foot taller. Instead of sneaking up behind Wembanyama and challenging him, White simply ran past him and let the Spurs big man go in for a dunk.
White gave a simple answer when asked about what he was thinking on the play.
“I’m not an idiot,” White joked after the game, per NBC Sports Boston. “I was hoping he would take another dribble, but he just picked it up, and I never saw it again. I was just trying to get out of the way. I assumed he was going to take one more dribble, but that was crazy.”
Wembanyama won that battle, but White and the Celtics won the war. White finished with 17 points and led the Boston starters with five assists in the lopsided win. The victory was Boston’s sixth in a row. The Celtics improved to an NBA-best record of 26-6.
White Got Plenty of All-Star Love on the Road
White has played a significant role in helping the Celtics jump out to their impressive start. He’s averaging a career-high 17.0 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.9 rebounds. He jumped into the starting rotation after the Celtics traded veteran guard Marcus Smart in a three-team deal that brought back Kristaps Porzingis.
White has gotten plenty of love from Celtics fans this season. He’s even been the recipient of “M-V-P” chants at TD Garden.
Now, he’s getting love on the road.
During the win in San Antonio, White heard several “All-Star” chants. In typical White fashion, he admitted he appreciated notoriety, but he said his focus was doing whatever he can to help his team come away with a victory.
“I’m just thankful and grateful,” White said. “I just try to go out there and help us win. If I was to make the All-Star Game, it’s because of how much we’re winning and the type of team we have. I’m just thankful to be a part of this team and this organization and the culture that we’re building here. Me making it or not making it doesn’t change the face that I’m thankful to be here.”
The Celtics are also thankful White is here.
Boston remains the lone team to have not lost a game at home this year. They are 16-0 at TD Garden. They next play at the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, January 2, before heading back home to face the Utah Jazz on Friday. | https://heavy.com/sports/boston-celtics/derrick-white-gives-simple-answer-to-why-he-refused-to-challenge-victor-wembanyama/ | 2024-01-01T04:59:44Z |
Editorial
Rethink needed over confusing medical language which can lead to error
The move by researchers and academics to oppose the alteration of medical language to accommodate transgender and gender-diverse people over concerns the changes could lead to serious medical mistakes and confuse health data is a commonsense response to an issue with strong potential to polarise public opinion.
A letter signed by 120 researchers, including midwifery professors, senior clinicians working in women’s health and nine women’s health organisations, to peak funding body the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) also warns that blurring the lines between biological sex and gender identity on medical forms and in research threatens to widen what’s known as the female data gap. The gap exists because most medical research has been conducted on biologically male subjects, with the erroneous assumption that medications and devices will work the same way on females.
The letter to the NHRMC came in response to a consultation paper released on the ethics of conducting medical research on pregnant women and warns that physicians are under increasing pressure to “‘desex’ language in research, policy, and public health communications” and that, as a result, “sex is not being accurately recorded in health systems and elsewhere”.
Exponents of the new approach to language say that in medical settings transgender people are often discriminated against, referred to by a gender they do not identify with or are required to reveal to doctors their birth sex or deadname, a name they no longer go by. They claim it is a “cultural safety” issue and, if not addressed, can drive gender-diverse people from seeking medical care.
Governments have made various attempts to address the language related to the medical needs of transgender people.
In Victoria, a course on transgender and gender diverse health conducted by an official training provider, Thorne Harbour Health, urges GPs to issue new admission forms for patients that emphasise gender identity and not biological sex. The Queensland Department of Health now invites “persons with a cervix” rather than “women” for cervical cancer screening in their health promotion materials.
However, the associate dean of research at Western Sydney University Professor Hannah Dahlen, and a signatory of the letter to the NHMRC, warns such term are “frankly, demeaning” and confusing, particularly for people from non-English-speaking backgrounds.
Another of the letter’s signatories, Dr Karleen Gribble from the Western Sydney University, told The Age’s Michael Bachelard there was a published case study of a person in labour who turned up at an emergency department whose records said they were male.
“They had a prolapsed umbilical cord, but there was a delay while doctors worked out what was going on, and by the time they found it, the baby had died,” Gribble said. In another case, a transgender man had a car accident and required intubation. The hospital mistook him for a biological man. “There are different-sized tubes between sexes and this person was intubated with an inappropriately large endotracheal tube for a long time, and ended up with serious injuries requiring multiple surgeries.”
Discourse about gender terminology has been escalating since 2021. But a spokesperson for the NHMRC said in response to the letter from the imminent researchers that a revised version of the guidelines will be released later in 2024, and “the issue of language … is being considered”.
Debate over the most appropriate language to use is, as always, an ongoing conversation. But while we respect transgender and gender-diverse people communities and understand and support their needs and rights, the move to “desex” the language of medicine as articulated by the researchers has clearly resulted in potential confusion and error, unintended consequences that need to be resolved with some urgency.

Changing face of Birmingham - parts of the city that've had the biggest transformation
How Google Streetview has documented the changing face of developments in Birmingham
Birmingham has always been a city of change - unafraid of knocking stuff down and starting again. Well, since 2007 we have been able to chart the changes thanks to Google Streetview.
It has mapped cities and towns around the world. When it first launched all those years ago we all eagerly viewed our house and road to see what we all looked like. Moving forward, it now gives us a fantastic documented view of the city and how it has changed over time.
With the 'go back' function we can look back in time to the Perry Barr flyover, or the Kent Street Baths, now all confined to history. You can also see some of the best-known parts of the city, such as Moor Street and Alexander Stadium, transforming before your eyes.

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.

- Country:
- India
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said the government is developing a strong base of domestic defence industrial ecosystem to make the country a strategic economy.
Addressing the 21st Convocation of Tezpur University here, Singh said his ministry is making all efforts to achieve the target of becoming self-reliant in the defence sector.
''Our government is developing a strong base of domestic defence industrial ecosystem to make India a strategic economy,'' he said.
Highlighting the various steps taken by the Ministry of Defence, Singh stressed that for the first time, the import of arms went down while exports rose.
''We issued five positive indigenisation lists, under which 509 defence equipment have been identified whose manufacturing will now be done indigenously.
''In addition, we have also issued four positive indigenisation lists of Defence Public Sector Undertakings, in which 4,666 items have been identified and these will now be manufactured in our country,'' he added.
Talking about the domestic defence manufacturing, Singh said that the production has crossed the record figure of Rs 1,00,000 crore for the first time.
''The total value of India's defence exports, which was Rs 1,521 crore in 2016-17, has increased almost 10 times to reach a record level of Rs 15,920 crore in 2022-23,'' he stated.
Singh also spoke about the change of attitude over the years and highlighted the working style of the present government in tackling any situation.
''India is no longer tolerant of the 'let-it-be' approach. Today, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the new India believes in the 'let's-do-it' approach,'' he added.
On the issue of women empowerment, Singh said the government has taken steps to ensure proper representation of women in all sectors including the military.
''Today, women are walking shoulder to shoulder with men in every field in the country. From fighter planes to Chandrayan, there is no field in which the presence of women is not seen,'' he added.
Emphasising on the role of youths in making the country developed, the Defence Minister said that the idea of making India an economic and military superpower is based on the confidence in the capabilities of talented youths.
''To empower the youth and enhance their capabilities, our government has promoted start-up culture and innovation ecosystem,'' he added.
Mentioning the start-up culture initiated by the Defence Ministry in the Defence industrial sector, Singh said the Innovation for Defence Excellence (iDEX) has been successfully promoting innovative ideas since its inception.
''Because of the various efforts by the government to promote entrepreneurship among youths, today there are over one lakh start-ups in the country,'' he said.
A total of 1,355 students were conferred Degrees and Diplomas during the convocation. Out of them, 110 received PhD, 785 post-graduate, 432 graduate, five PG diplomas and 23 have been awarded degrees and diplomas through distance and open learning mode.
Appreciating Tezpur University's efforts in providing quality education, the Defence Minister urged the students to focus on the essence of practical knowledge and the pivotal role of character development.
In regard to starting a Centre for Defence Studies named after Ahom General Lachit Borphukan at Tezpur University, he directed the university authority to submit a proposal on the same.

Teenager Luke Littler wants to “beat even more records” as he continues his dream World Darts Championship campaign with a quarter-final against Brendan Dolan on Monday.
The 16-year-old has burst onto the scene at Alexandra Palace and became the youngest player to reach the last eight when he hammered five-time world champion and his hero Raymond van Barneveld in the last 16 on Saturday.
That set up a winnable tie with Northern Irishman Dolan, who has seen off former world champions Gerwyn Price and Gary Anderson in the last two rounds, on New Year’s Day and he is now dreaming of lifting the Sid Waddell Trophy on Wednesday.
If Littler was to win the title it would be one of the greatest sporting stories and he would out-do several famous young achievers.
Pele was 17 when he won the World Cup with Brazil, Boris Becker claimed his first Wimbledon title at 18 while Mike Tyson was 20 when he became heavyweight world champion.
Littler, nicknamed ‘The Nuke’, has not heard of all of those names, including that of 2021 US Open singles champion Emma Raducanu, who his story shares many parallels with, but he believes there is more to come.
“Unbelievable, the names you have just said,” he said. “I know Mike, I only know Pele off FIFA and I don’t know the other ones.
“I have certainly broken the rules and records already but I know if my game is there I can beat even more records.
“My game is there, it is every darting kid’s, man’s, whoever’s dream to win it. I have certainly got the game, it is whatever happens on the day, whatever Luke Littler turns up.”
Littler’s impressive run has seen him hit the headlines around the world and enjoy celebrity status.
Littler and his family received complimentary tickets to watch Arsenal in the Premier League on Thursday night, with Gunners pair Declan Rice and Aaron Ramsdale asking him for a photo, while players from his beloved Manchester United sent him good luck messages before the match with Van Barneveld.
“It was unbelievable,” he added. “I was walking to my room and one of the security guards from Arsenal said to me Declan and Aaron wanted a picture with me and I just went ‘a picture with me’, and they came out for one.
“They said they have a dartboard up in the changing room. It is crazy for them to want a picture with me, it should be the other way around.
“It was incredible to get the messages, obviously United didn’t get the win (at Forest), but Jonny (Evans) and Gary (Neville) are United legends and Jonny is still playing for us, it was just incredible.”

Thousands have swarmed festivals across the country, kicking off the New Year in style and jamming out to home grown and international acts.
Events have kicked off in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and the Gold Coast, with some getting luckier than others with the weather to start their 2024 celebrations.
Many were seen rocking bold outfits in bright colours, with bandeau tops, sequins and fun patterns a common appearance in the crowds.
Regardless of the look each festival-goer went for, most had one item in common, with sneakers or boots the footwear of choice.
The start of 2024 has seen another return of the bucket hat, and some have even donned big Russian-fur hats despite the warmer weather.
A strong showing of denim skirts and shorts, as well as fishnet tops and pants have dominated the festival fashion scene to start 2024.
Many are also showed strong dedication to their accessories, keeping their sunnies on whether they were outdoors or undercover.
Following the incredible popularity of the 2023 film, Barbie, starring Aussie actress Margot Robbie, splashes of pink featured in outfits as far as the eye can see.
Festival goers were not perturbed by the grey and cloudy conditions, or heavy police presence, ahead of the Field Day event in The Domain park in Sydney’s CBD.
Those celebrating out in the park have cautioned for a chance or showers and winds as strong as 25km/h.
Security had began gearing up early on Monday morning to welcome the early bird guests hoping to party along to the sounds of Central Cee, G Flip and Sydney-based group, Rufus Du Sol.
The drug detection dog squad was out in force ahead of the event start, with police members seen checking in on patrons as they made their way into the park.
While NSW Police said there had been no reports of trouble in the area ahead of the festival, at least one person was seen being detained by police in the park within the first few hours.
Field Day has been an annual festival staple in NSW since 2002, with the event attracting tens of thousands of people each year.
The festival boasts a range of party music including a mix of house, hip-hop, indie and electronica artists.
For those looking to have a break, Field Day has established “Party Safe” rest and recovery tents just past the main stage within the event area.
Down in Melbourne, festival goers are soaking up the sun at the Let Them Eat Cake festival in Werribee, 35kms west of the CBD.
A packed line up of Aussie and international artists have graced the stage on Monday, with revellers privy to Barry Can’t Swim, BICEP, salute and ABSOLUTE.
Victoria Police conducted an extensive campaign patrolling New Year’s Eve events across the state on Sunday.
Assistant commissioner Mick Grainger said only a small number of people had done the wrong thing during celebrations in the CBD, but warned against those thinking of driving with alcohol or drugs in their system on Monday.
“For those driving home today – remember we will be setting up random drug and alcohol testing sites across the state so if you think you’re over – please do not take the risk as chances are you’ll be caught,” assistant commissioner Grainger said. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/festival-goers-around-the-country-to-kick-off-the-new-year-in-bright-outfits-and-heavy-shoes-c-13081014 | 2024-01-01T04:59:44Z |
Summary: Gen Z, the digital-savvy generation, is embracing TikTok as a source of information, advice, and news. This trend is leading to a decline in traditional search engine usage, as younger individuals prefer the fast-paced and visually-driven content that TikTok offers. Despite concerns about information reliability, educators see this shift as a change in the way information is consumed and valued.
The shifting consumption habits of Gen Z are revolutionizing the way information is sought and consumed. TikTok, the popular short-form video platform, is no longer just a platform for entertainment but has become a go-to source for information and advice. The rise of TikTok as an informative platform is marking a significant change in the digital habits of the younger generation, with traditional search engines like Google seeing a decline in usage.
Celestina Gimino, a 21-year-old aspiring concert photographer, is a prime example of this shift. She turned to TikTok not only for networking opportunities but also for photography tips, which ultimately led to job opportunities. TikTok’s user-friendly interface, community feel, and vibrant comments section create an environment where users can receive advice from real people with genuine experiences.
So, why this preference for TikTok over traditional search engines? It can be attributed to Gen Z’s preference for fast-paced, visually-driven content. This generation has shorter attention spans and often avoids lengthy, text-heavy write-ups. Additionally, TikTok’s recent updates, such as the inclusion of a search bar widget on the phone’s home screen and partnerships with reliable sources like Wikipedia, enhance its appeal as an information source.
This shift in information consumption is not viewed negatively educators. Instead, it represents a change in how information is consumed and valued. The Reuters Institute’s annual digital news report supports this trend, indicating that TikTok’s use as a news source is growing. In Singapore, for example, there has been a substantial increase in TikTok usage for news among the 18-24 age group, marking the largest increase among platforms in the country.
In conclusion, TikTok’s rise as an informative platform is reshaping the way Gen Z seeks and consumes information. With its visually engaging content and user-friendly features, TikTok offers a unique and interactive way for younger individuals to gain knowledge, advice, and even stay informed with the latest news. While concerns about information reliability persist, educators recognize that this shift represents a new era of information consumption and value. | https://ticker.tv/news/gen-z-prefers-tiktok-over-google-for-information-and-advice/392992/ | 2024-01-01T04:59:44Z |
Surfer dies after shark bite, officials say
PAIA, Hawaii (KHNL/Gray News) - A 39-year-old surfer died Saturday after suffering a shark bite at Maui’s Paia Bay, the Department of Land and Natural Resources confirmed.
Details on the injuries of Jason Carter oh Haiku were not released.
Maui Fire Department officials say the incident happened about 11 a.m.
A Department of Land and Natural Resources spokesman confirmed about 5:30 p.m. that Carter had died.
Officials said water conditions at the time were “mixed” because of high surf conditions.
The County of Maui posted on its official Instagram that Baldwin Beach Park and Lower Paia Park were closed due to the shark incident.
First responders were patrolling the area on shore and on jet skis, according to Maui Fire Department. Department of Land and Natural Resources officials said shark warning signs are up one mile on either side of the incident site.
