After SC nudge, India finally gets law to appoint CEC, ECs; roadmap laid for simultaneous polls - Country: - India A legislation on the appointment of Election Commission members was the biggest highlight of 2023 for the Union law ministry which saw a change of guard this year as Arjun Ram Meghwal took over the reins from Kiren Rijiju. The year saw the Law Commission working on a formula to synchronise all assembly polls by extending or reducing the tenure so that all state elections can be held along with the Lok Sabha polls from 2029 onwards. Also, a high-level committee headed by former President Ram Nath Kovind began examining the issue of holding simultaneous elections in the country. In March, the Supreme Court, while delivering its verdict on pleas seeking a collegium-like system for the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and election commissioners, ruled that the appointments will be made by the president on the recommendation of a panel comprising the prime minister, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha and the chief justice of India. It also said the direction on the appointments to the post of CEC and ECs will continue to hold good till a law on the issue is enacted by Parliament, it added. Since the establishment of the Election Commission on January 25, 1950 -- a day before India became a republic -- there was no law laying down a mechanism for the appointment of chief election commissioner and election commissioners. A law introduced in 1991 dealt with service conditions of the members of the poll panel but not on their appointment. The Supreme Court order put things in motion and the law ministry came out with a proposed legislation to lay down the procedure to appoint the CEC and the ECs. However, amid protests by the opposition and former CECs, a slew of amendments were made to the bill, retaining the status of the members of the poll panel equivalent to judges of the Supreme Court and upgrading the status of the search committee. As per the original bill, the cabinet secretary was to head the three-member search committee. Now, it will be headed by the law minister. The bill was passed by Parliament during the winter session and it later got the President's assent. The mechanism for the appointment of the CEC and other ECs will come into play when Election Commissioner Anup Chandra Pandey demits office on February 14 on attaining the age of 65. Pandey is set to retire days before the poll panel is likely to announce the schedule for the 2024 Lok Sabha election and the government may like to fill up the vacancy at the earliest. The year 2023 also saw the Law Commission under Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi (retd), initiating a fresh consultation process on the Uniform Civil Code by seeking views from the public and religious organisations. The law panel also gave its report on sedition law, underlining its need in the Indian criminal justice system with added safeguards. In a sudden development in May, the law portfolio was taken away from Kiren Rijiju and handed over to Arjun Ram Meghwal. While Rijiju was known for triggering controversies by questioning the collegium system of appointing Supreme Court and high court judges and hitting out at the alleged ''tukde-tukde gang'', Meghwal has refrained from making any such comment so far. Amid repeated observations by the apex court over the delay in the appointment of judges, as many as 110 judges were appointed in high courts. The Fast Track Special Courts (FTSC) Scheme was further extended for three more years from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2026, at a total outlay of Rs 1,952.23 crore. The FTSCs were set up in the aftermath of the 2012 Delhi gang-rape case to deliver swift justice for women and children. In September, the Union Cabinet approved the third phase of the eCourts Project as a central sector scheme with a financial outlay of Rs 7,210 crore to be implemented over four years. The eCourts Mission Mode Project is the prime mover for improving access to justice using technology. As part of the National eGovernance Plan, the eCourts Project has been under implementation since 2007 for ICT enablement of the Indian Judiciary. The Phase II of the project concluded in 2023.

Xi says China to consolidate and enhance economic recovery in 2024 President Xi Jinping said on Sunday that China will consolidate and enhance the positive trend of its economic recovery in 2024, and sustain long-term economic development with deeper reforms. In a televised speech to mark the New Year, Xi said China would deepen reforms to shore up confidence in the economy. President Xi Jinping said on Sunday that China will consolidate and enhance the positive trend of its economic recovery in 2024, and sustain long-term economic development with deeper reforms. In a televised speech to mark the New Year, Xi said China would deepen reforms to shore up confidence in the economy. Xi said China will "consolidate and enhance the positive trend of economic recovery, and achieve stable and long-term economic development," Xi said. "We must comprehensively deepen reform and opening up, further boost confidence in development, enhance economic vitality, and make greater efforts to promote education, promote science and technology, and cultivate talents." Xi voiced his concerns over difficulties facing some firms' operations and the hardship facing some people in employment and their daily lives, and the impact of natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes in some regions. China will promote high-quality development and balance development and security in a well-coordinated way, Xi added. The government has in recent months announced a series of measures to shore up China's feeble post-pandemic economic recovery, which is being held back by a property slump, local government debt risks and slow global growth. Analysts expect China's economic growth to hit the official target of around 5% this year, and Beijing is expected to maintain the same target next year. Earlier this month, top Chinese leaders met and laid out economic plans for 2024, pledging to take more steps to support the recovery. The central bank has pledged to step up policy adjustments to support the economy and promote a rebound in prices, amid signs of rising deflationary pressures.

Peace accord with ULFA will expedite development works in Assam: AGP - Country: - India Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) president Atul Bora on Sunday said the peace pact with the pro-talk faction of ULFA will expedite the ongoing developmental works in the state. Bora, who is also a minister in the BJP-led government in the state, said the attitude of the Centre towards Assam and the region as a whole has changed after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took charge. ''Developmental works have been going on in the Northeast since 2014. The earlier step-motherly treatment to this region is no longer there. Peace and development have taken centre stage now,'' he said at a press conference here. Thanking Union Home Minister Amit Shah, in whose presence the peace pact with ULFA was inked, Bora said the agreement will speed up the ongoing developmental works in the state. The ULFA's pro-talks faction on December 29 signed a peace accord with the Centre and the Assam government, agreeing to shun violence, surrender all arms, disband the organisation and join the democratic process. Talking about the coming year, the AGP chief said that the party will work towards strengthening its base in all 35 districts of the state. ''We will organise various programmes targetting the Lok Sabha elections and the panchayat polls. We do not have any member in Lok Sabha now, but we aim to send at least one after next year's elections,'' he added. As part of this plan, the AGP will organise a series of booth-level meetings in Barpeta, Karimganj, Jorhat, Sonitpur and other districts over the next two months, Bora said. ''We are a part of the NDA and will fight the next Lok Sabha elections in alliance with the BJP. We have done a survey of all the 14 seats, but have not decided where we will contest,'' he added.

A major crackdown on benefits claimants to get people back into work is planned by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Under the plan, fewer people will be signed off sick and more will be referred for other types of help to keep them at work. People working with benefits claimants, including doctors, employers, and social workers, will be able to send people for assessments. Other types of help they will be able to receive include medical treatment, training, or life coaching, WalesOnline reports. The DWP hopes the plans will tackle long-term sickness in the benefits system. Pilot schemes are set to start in 2024 and aim to "swoop in" focus treatment of sick people on making them able to stay in work. - Read next: DWP warns that couples claiming Universal Credit could see reduction in their joint payment - Read next: People left without DWP benefit payments before Christmas could get up to £500 in compensation Work and pensions secretary Mel Stride has shared frustrations that the NHS is not doing enough to manage high levels of absence due to sickness. People who are at risk of falling out of the workforce will be offered work coaches, physiotherapy and mental health treatment. They may also be eligible to receive debt advice, therapeutic recreation, and workplace adjustments. Upcoming changes aim for doctors to refer people more easily to occupational health schemes. The reforms will be tested to reduce the number of people signed off from work by their GPs. Long-term sickness has seen a record 2.6 million people off work, which adds billions to the welfare bill. There are currently 2.2 million people claiming Universal Credit with no work requirements. This is 36 per cent of total claimants, an increase from 24 per cent four years ago. 15 areas will be chosen in 2024 to trial a service called WorkWell to reverse this trend. Stride and Victoria Atkins, the health secretary, say the service will "provide integrated health and job support tailored to individual needs". NHS "social prescribing" initiatives will also see people off sick offered community activities such as singing, cooking, or gardening clubs. Nearly 60,000 people will participate in the 2024 trials, with plans to take the scheme national. Labour has called on the government to do more to unite work and health. Alison McGovern, the shadow employment minister, said the scheme was "all too little and it's far too late". Mel Stride and Victoria Atkins said in The Times: "Despite nearly four million more people being in work since 2010, too many people are missing out on the life-changing benefits we know that work brings. Post-pandemic we have seen a record 2.6 million people signed off with long-term conditions. "This government is on a mission to get people back to work, while ensuring they are well enough to do so. To achieve this we need the local services that support good health and wellbeing working hand in hand with the services that help people find and stay in employment. "That is where WorkWell comes in. It is a ground-breaking new service that will help almost 60,000 people struggling to hold down a job or find the right role to stay in or rejoin the workforce. Our reforms are founded on long-term decisions to unlock the potential of thousands of people, giving everyone a chance to live and work well."

Foreign workers in Japan at record high of 1.46 million As of Oct. 31, there were 1,460,463 foreign workers in Japan, up 14.2 percent from a year earlier, marking the 11th straight year of increase, according to the data released by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, KYODO reports. The figure, the highest since comparable data became available in 2008 when it stood around 486,000, is almost certain to rise in the years ahead as Japan has decided to ease visa restrictions and accept more foreign workers starting from April. The labor ministry attributed the increase to the government's policy of promoting the hiring of highly skilled workers, students as part-timers, and trainees from developing countries under its technical intern program. Many foreign technical interns and students are engaged in unskilled labor with low wages to fill the manpower shortages. By nationality, Chinese accounted for more than a quarter of the total foreign workforce at 389,117, up 4.5 percent from the previous year, followed by Vietnamese at 316,840, up 31.9 percent, and Filipinos at 164,006, up 11.7 percent. By sector, manufacturing hired the largest number of foreign workers at 434,342, followed by retailing at 186,061, and hotels and catering at 185,050, with 230,510 workers categorized under "other services". Japan's parliament passed new legislation in December paving the way for the country to formally open its doors to blue-collar workers. Under the new visa system starting in April, Japan will accept up to 345,150 foreign workers over five years in 14 sectors including construction, farming and nursing care. It represents a major policy shift for a country that has basically granted working visas only to highly skilled people with professional knowledge such as doctors, lawyers and teachers. A labor ministry panel projected earlier this month Japan's workforce will drop 20 percent by 2040 from 2017 due to an aging population and falling birthrate if the economy sees no growth and appropriate measures are not taken to sustain productivity. The forecast did not take into consideration the expansion of foreign workers under the new scheme.

One of the UK's least-used railway stations is in Cambridgeshire. Only eight railway stations across the UK see fewer passengers than Shippea Hill, which is also the least-used station in Cambridgeshire. Shippea Hill saw just 142 total entries and exits in the year between April 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023. That works out at slightly more than 10 passengers using the station each month, or fewer than three per week. The station near Ely is a request stop, which means trains only stop there if passengers request it. It is on the Breckland Line, which runs between Cambridge and Norwich. - Read next: The lost Cambridgeshire railway station where engine sheds became council offices - Read next: The oldest pub in Cambridge with 415 years of history serving locals 2022-23 was actually a busy year for the station, with 142 entries and exits. Though it didn't quite match the peak in 2018/19 of 432 passengers using the station – slightly more than eight per week – the number has risen from the 102 recorded in 2021/22. Shippea Hill was the UK's least-used railway station in 2014/15, when 22 passengers used it. It also took the title 2015/16, when just 12 people used it across the whole year. Although Shippea Hill is now one of the quietest stations in the UK, that hasn't always been the case. Due to its location near airbases in Mildenhall and Lakenheath, it was once used as a railhead for the area. Of the station, Google reviewer Daniel Mckenzie said: "Pretty much this station is only good for trainspotting as the train service provided is a single morning train a day at best. Not even a shelter is provided on the Ely bound platform (mainly since no trains are scheduled to stop on that side)."

Free trade deal between Japan, EU comes into force The Economic Partnership Agreement, signed by the two sides in Tokyo in July, will create the largest free trade zone in the world with 36.9 percent of global trade and 27.8 percent of the global gross domestic product. For Japan, which has openly backed free trade, the pact is another step forward, following the 11-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement that came into effect on Dec.30. At an official event on Friday, Japanese Agriculture Minister Takamori Yoshikawa said that at a time of protectionist trends across the world, the agreement, based on free and fair rules, will produce benefits for both the EU and Japan. Yoshikawa along with other senior Japanese officials and ambassadors of EU countries took part in the official event at the European delegation in Tokyo to celebrate the success of the efforts made in the last five years to forge the pact. Speaking at the same event, economic revitalization minister Toshimitsu Motegi said that Japan and the EU will have to lead the movement to extend free and fair common rules in the 21st century around the world. Hours earlier, from Brussels, President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker emphasised the practical advantages of the pact for European and Japanese consumers as well as the message it sent to the world. "More than anything, our agreement shows that trade is about more than quotas and tariffs, or millions and billions. It is about values, principles and fairness," Juncker said. According to the agreement, EU will scrap levies on 99 percent of imports from Japan, starting Friday or progressively, while Japan will eliminate tariffs on 94 percent of European products entering Japan. Last year, trade between Japan and the European Union reached 18.91 trillion yen ($173.63 billion), 11.53 percent of Japan's total exports and imports, resulting in a deficit of 487.6 billion yen for Japan in its balance of trade with the EU. China is Japan's main trading partner, followed by the United States. Analysts believe that the pact, which will benefit around 635 million people, could boost EU exports to Japan by 34 percent.

Packers take control of playoff spot as they cruise past Vikings 33-10 on Love’s 4-touchdown night 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 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. Copyright 2023 WBAY. All rights reserved.

On December 22, the Delhi Police said the six individuals accused in the Parliament breach incident underwent psychoanalysis at a government institute in the city in order to ascertain their motives. The term ‘psychoanalysis’ is usually restricted to the medical literature on mental health when it isn’t provoking suspicious questions. For example, in my own practice, many of my clients have asked me, “Are you psychoanalysing my mind?” Psychoanalysis is an important tool but is often misunderstood. How did psychoanalysis originate? Psychoanalysis isn’t a form of psychotherapy but in fact a worldview. It was the first modern Western system of psychotherapy. The Viennese psychiatrist Sigmund Freud coined the term and developed it with many of his colleagues and peers. He developed psychoanalysis as a treatment modality for people presenting with symptoms that other physicians were unable to treat. The prominence of such ‘classical psychoanalysis’ has declined over time, while the topic has itself evolved to become less authoritarian and more practical. Its evolution has been influenced by developments in neurology, psychiatry, psychology, philosophy, and the social and natural sciences. Psychoanalysis aims to give people a greater degree of agency by facilitating awareness of their unconscious wishes and defences. In 1886, Freud collaborated with physician Josef Breuer, known for his dramatic successes in treating clients with “hysteria”. Their approach involved nudging people to talk about themselves in a bid to recount buried traumatic experiences. Breur found that when these people were able to recall traumatic experiences in an affectively charged fashion, their symptoms diminished. This approach came to be known as “the talking cure”. What is the unconscious? The unconscious is conceptually central to psychoanalytic theory. Freud posited that certain memories and associated affects are cut off from consciousness because of their threatening nature. Over time, he came to believe instinctual impulses and associated wishes – in addition to traumatic memories – were also not allowed into awareness, and that this happened via cultural conditioning: in which people believed such instincts were ‘unacceptable’. For example, a person angry with their colleague may disavow these feelings and push them out of awareness by repressing them. Repression is an important psychoanalytic construct characterised by the unconscious forgetting of painful ideas or impulses in order to protect the psyche. Freud elaborated on this idea by distinguishing between the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is the part of the psyche present from birth and is based on instincts. It presses for instant gratification and discounts situational realities. The ego, emerging out of the id, is its more rational counterpart. Unlike the id, the ego weighs situations before pressing for gratification. It also delays gratification by channeling instinctual needs in a socially acceptable manner. The superego emerges by internalising social values and norms. This psychic agency can be overly harsh and demanding, often leading a person to adopt a punitive stance towards their own instinctual needs. Many contemporary psychoanalysts no longer find this distinction useful, and instead view the mind as being composed of multiple self-states that emerge in different contexts. What are fantasies, defences, and resistance? Freud posited that fantasies served numerous psychic functions, including the need to feel safe, regulate self-esteem, and overcome traumatic experiences. He’d previously theorised that fantasies were linked to sexual or aggressive wishes and provided imaginary wish fulfillment. Since fantasies were expected to motivate a person’s behaviour, he believed exploring and interpreting them was vital for psychoanalysis. A defence is an intrapsychic process that helps individuals avoid emotional pain by pushing thoughts, wishes, feelings, and fantasies out of conscious awareness. Via projection, individuals can attribute their own threatening feelings or motives to another person. And via reaction formation, they can deny a threatening feeling by claiming they’re experiencing the opposite. Using rationalisation, an individual can find excuses that justify unacceptable behaviours when self-esteem is threatened. Splitting is a way for individuals with borderline personality disorder to think in extremes, regarding people as either perfect or deeply flawed, exclusively nurturing or rejecting, etc. Individuals with serious physical illnesses may deny being informed of the illness because that would threaten their reality. Through displacement, individuals can shift emotions from one object onto a less threatening one so that the latter replaces the former. (A person who loses a child in a road accident, and thereafter devotes themselves to campaigning against dangerous driving, is exhibiting displacement. From a psychoanalytic perspective, the emotion attached to the child is replaced by emotions attached to the ideals of the campaign.) Through identification, a victim may assume the faults of the opponent. For example, a woman facing domestic violence may believe she deserves to be beaten to justify her husband’s aggression. Via sublimation, a person may transfer unacceptable impulses onto more acceptable alternatives, like channeling anger into political activism. Freud formalised the concept of resistance when he found his clients were reluctant to work with him. He responded by asking them to engage in free-association: that is, they could say anything that came to their minds, without self-censorship. What are transference and countertransference? It wasn’t uncommon for his clients to view him as tyrannical if they had a tyrannical father. In Freud’s view, his clients were transferring a template from the past into the present. He believed transference provided a window of opportunity for a person to gain insights into the effects of adverse past experiences on current behaviour. He also believed that if a therapist maintained anonymity, by withholding information about the therapist’s own life or views, the person became less likely to develop transference towards the therapist. Freud also held that the therapist may have their own unresolved unconscious conflicts and that they paved the way for the therapist to develop feelings towards the client. So, in his view, the therapist had to work through their own countertransference via personal supervision or self-analysis. How does psychoanalysis help? It was common practice for Freud to interpret his and his clients’ dreams. He considered dreams to be forms of wish fulfilment, and believed interpreting them to be central to psychoanalysis. Contemporary psychiatrists disagree, however. Change generally involves making the unconscious conscious. In Freud’s view, humans are driven by unconscious wishes that aren’t in our awareness and that this lack of awareness drives self-defeating behaviour. He reasoned that individuals deluded themselves about the reasons for their behaviour and that the self-deception limited their choices. According to psychoanalysis, the therapeutic relationship is itself a change mechanism. By acting in a different way than a client’s parents did, the therapist can present a new relational experience that challenges the client’s maladaptive models. Traditional psychoanalysis involves four to six sessions per week, and often lasts for years. Contemporary psychoanalysts believe longer-term intensive treatment has certain advantages. While circumscribed symptoms can change in the short term, more fundamental changes in personality functioning need more time to manifest. However, long-term intensive treatment isn’t always feasible, practical or even desirable. Contemporary psychoanalytic practice involves shorter term consultations happening once or twice a week. Dr. Alok Kulkarni is a senior geriatric psychiatrist and neurophysician at the Manas Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Hubli.

Fifty years ago in Chile, the United States worked to end the presidency of an elected Marxist and, in turn, helped usher in an authoritarian right-wing dictatorship. During the ensuing 17-year rule of Gen. Augusto Pinochet, more than 3,000 people would be disappeared or killed and some 38,000 would become political prisoners — most of them victims of torture. The brutality in Chile, thousands of miles away, would have repercussions back in the U.S. When the U.S. role in Chile's democratic collapse became known, activists took action. So did lawmakers. In effect, the coup in Chile led to human rights concerns and Congress taking on a larger role in U.S. foreign policy. In America, the coup of Sept. 11, 1973, "galvanized public opinion in a way that no other activity, no other coup, no other military dictatorship in Latin America did," says Joe Eldridge, a longtime human rights advocate who was in Chile when it happened. "It was the suddenness, the abruptness in a country that had a long tradition of honoring democratic governance. Chile galvanized, it crystallized in the minds of so many, what was wrong with U.S. foreign policy." But first, it's necessary to explain what happened. What follows is a history of what led the U.S. to have a hand in the coup, how it occurred, and what happened afterward. The campaign against Salvador Allende The U.S. had been meddling in Chile's politics for years by the time 1973 rolled around. U.S. interventions in Latin America go back more than a century. During the mid-20th century, the Cold War shaped much of policymakers' thinking. Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution in Cuba alarmed Washington about communism and threats of Soviet influence in the Western Hemisphere. U.S. officials were especially concerned about Salvador Allende, a self-proclaimed Marxist and a member of Chile's Socialist Party who ran for president multiple times and was a leading contender in the 1964 election. He had pledged to nationalize the mostly U.S.-owned copper companies, a large industry in Chile. The U.S. spent massively on anti-communist propaganda and support for Allende's opponent in 1964. The influence proved effective: Allende lost. But Allende ran again in 1970. Richard Nixon was now the U.S. president and Henry Kissinger his assistant for national security affairs. They perceived Allende as a threat to U.S. interests and as a friend of the Soviet Union. (Allende's campaign did receive $350,000 from Cuba, according to CIA estimates, and at least $400,000 from Moscow, according to one book on the history of the KGB's foreign operations.) Kissinger was especially concerned about the example it would set for Western European countries to have a socialist freely elected. In the months before the election, the U.S. spent hundreds of thousands on a "spoiling operation," much of it propaganda aimed at preventing Allende from taking power. International businesses, most notably International Telephone and Telegraph, were involved as well, passing funds to Allende's main opponent. Still, Allende narrowly won in a three-way contest in early September 1970. Under the constitution at the time, the decision then went to Chile's Congress to vote between the top two finishers. Nixon instructed top U.S. officials to do whatever they could to prevent Allende from taking office. In addition to continued propaganda efforts, the CIA met with Chilean military contacts in a direct effort to foment a coup to stop an Allende presidency. A top general who opposed a coup was killed in a kidnapping plot. The CIA's efforts failed, however, and Allende was sworn in on Nov. 3, 1970. What followed were more attempts to shore up opposition. The U.S. spent $8 million on covert actions between 1970 and the 1973 coup, according to a 1975 Senate report. U.S. officials also backed economic measures to squeeze Allende's government. "That was the policy of the United States: to make it difficult for him to successfully govern," says Peter Kornbluh, the director of the Chile Documentation Project at the National Security Archive, a nonprofit research group that works to bring secret government documents to light. "The invisible blockade, the cutoff of international monetary aid and assistance, stifling loans from the World Bank and the [Inter-American Development Bank], cutting off export credits from the United States, obviously pouring money into the militant pro-coup opposition and expanding contacts with the Chilean military. And, of course, the one that the CIA thinks really helped set the stage for the coup was the El Mercurio project," he says. El Mercurio, a large Santiago daily newspaper opposed to Allende, received at least $1.5 million from the CIA. (A former CIA officer in Chile downplayed the influence the agency had on the paper's editorial line.) The U.S. was not the only reason for the coup It's important to note that Chile was politically polarized. Allende took office having only won just over a third of votes. The Congress was deadlocked. In the Allende years, "the far left mobilizes. The far right mobilizes," says Peter Siavelis, a professor of political science and international affairs at Wake Forest University who has studied Chile extensively. "Inflation starts to soar. The CIA funds the most important truckers union and the truckers were on strike. There's blockades. This is where the shortages come in. Food and basic necessities are not delivered and people are waiting in line. And a generalized sense of sort of chaos, polarization. ... The military increasingly sees that there's no way out of this situation except for a military coup." The Senate report, from the committee led by Idaho Sen. Frank Church, found no evidence that the U.S. was "directly involved, covertly" in the 1973 coup. But the U.S. "probably gave the impression that it would not look with disfavor on a military coup. And U.S. officials in the years before 1973 may not always have succeeded in walking the thin line between monitoring indigenous coup plotting and actually stimulating it." Kissinger himself told Nixon five days after the coup: "We didn't do it. I mean we helped them. [Word missing] created the conditions as great as possible." A violent operation begins against leftists On the morning of Sept. 11, 1973, the military launched a coup and took control of the country. Military jets bombed the presidential palace. Allende killed himself after giving a final defiant address to the country. Gen. Augusto Pinochet, the army chief once thought to be loyal to Chile's constitution, soon emerged as the country's new leader. The military junta began a ruthless campaign against communists and socialists. "There's a state of siege declared. Political parties are outlawed. Universities are shut down. And a process of widespread arrest of political opponents begins to take place," Siavelis says. People are tortured and killed in detention centers across Chile, including Estadio Nacional, the national stadium. Victims included the popular folk singer Victor Jara. "This sense of fear, the sense of everybody being in danger, was palpable," says the writer Ariel Dorfman, who was a cultural adviser to Allende's chief of staff. Joe Eldridge, an American, was in Chile at the time as an elder of the United Methodist Church. "People were disappearing right and left from my neighborhood. Friends of mine were disappearing and I was afraid I was going to disappear," he says. "The morgue was filled. Bodies were floating down the Mapocho River." Tens of thousands went into exile, mostly in Europe, with some in the U.S. and Mexico. Eldridge left two months after the coup. "I came back full of fury and indignation at the United States," he says. The U.S. role is questioned Back in the U.S., news of Pinochet's atrocities began to spread via Chilean exiles and human rights activists. The journalist Seymour Hersh wrote articles in The New York Times in late 1974 exposing the CIA's role. Kissinger, meanwhile, let the Chileans know early on that the U.S. was "favorably disposed" to the junta. "The United States turned around [from] pursuing a policy to prevent Allende from consolidating to a policy of actively assisting Pinochet to consolidate. Notwithstanding the bodies in the street, the torture, the disappearances," Kornbluh says. He says documents show Kissinger was the "dominant policymaker on Chile." Kissinger's office did not respond to NPR's requests for an interview. Vanessa Walker, a history professor at Amherst College, says the coup, which came at a particularly volatile time in American politics, served as a catalyst for the modern human rights movement. The movement for racial equality, Watergate and the disastrous conclusion of the Vietnam War were fresh in the American public's mind in the mid-'70s. There was "a real sense of apprehension about presidential power in particular and the government more generally," she says. "Cold War paradigms of fighting communism wherever you meet it are really starting to lose credibility in light of the Vietnam War. And so when Chile happens and then the subsequent reports of U.S. involvement in Chile come out, it really calls into question a lot of the fundamental premises of U.S. foreign policy for many people." Activists and Congress take action Now in Washington, Eldridge and a whole network of activists were committed to stopping U.S. military aid to the Chilean dictatorship. Nixon had increased various forms of bilateral aid to Chile after the coup. Members of Congress began to take notice. Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts held hearings about the situation in Chile. He introduced amendments to cut off aid. Congress "cut off military assistance first, the grant aid. Then it cut off lending, the military finance program. And then it cut off commercial sales of military lethal weapons to Chile," says Mark Schneider, who was a foreign policy adviser to Kennedy. As a result of what's called the Kennedy Amendment in 1976, U.S. arms sales and military aid to Chile were banned. (Separately, Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act in 1974 halted security assistance to governments that abuse human rights, but this measure has rarely been used.) Together with reaction to the Vietnam War, the coup in Chile helped bring about a period where lawmakers looked to have a greater influence in U.S. foreign policy, especially with respect to human rights. Ted Kennedy, Minnesota Rep. Don Fraser and others were "trying to check executive power in foreign policymaking and bring Congress back to the table," Walker says. Chile became part of a larger congressional investigation of U.S. intelligence services after another report by Seymour Hersh in The New York Times, this time about the CIA spying on anti-war activists in the U.S. The Church committee's work in 1975 and 1976 "makes Chile part of a larger pattern of behavior," Walker says. It "reinforces this idea that you have this government who is kind of unhinged from American values or even interests, that you're backing these repressive, anti-democratic regimes when you say you're fighting for democracy." Congress' emphasis on human rights also helped lead to the creation of a new bureau in the State Department in 1977: the Bureau of Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs. The bureau, boosted in prominence by President Jimmy Carter, would be in charge of writing regular reports about human rights conditions in other countries. Exiles kept the spotlight on Chile Chilean exiles did what they could to raise awareness and support human rights back home. In the U.S., there were notable communities of exiles in California, New York and Washington, D.C. "Everybody was trying to work, you know, either supporting the Chilean movement and also trying to bring awareness in the Congress and the Senate," says Soledad Labarca, who was living in the D.C. area after being kicked out of a university in Chile over her support for the Allende government. She and other activists supported soup kitchens in Chile; organized concerts; tried to drum up attention with the United Nations and Organization of American States (OAS); and helped new exiles with adjusting to their lives in the U.S. They worked to support the families of the detained and disappeared. Dorfman, the writer, lived in Europe for several years before moving to the U.S. in 1980. The estimated 200,000 Chilean exiles around the world tended to be members of "a very educated elite" and had an outsize impact in their host countries, he says. "We're talking about very major cultural, intellectual figures and political figures who go into exile and who have this enormous influence on the policies of these countries." A central figure among the exiles pushing for democracy back home was Orlando Letelier. He was an ambassador to the U.S. in Allende's government. After the coup, he was taken prisoner along with other Allende administration officials and sent to Dawson Island, a remote concentration camp. He was released under international pressure and came to work at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, D.C. Agents working under the orders of Pinochet planted a car bomb that exploded on Sept. 21, 1976, at Washington's Sheridan Circle — an act of state-sponsored terror in the heart of the U.S. capital by a U.S. ally. Letelier and his co-worker Ronni Moffitt were killed. The Carter and Reagan years Letelier's assassination loomed large over the Chile policy of Jimmy Carter, who came into office in 1977 emphasizing human rights in foreign policy. The assassination plot was traced back to the high levels of the Pinochet government. Carter pushed for the extradition of three officers involved in the plot, but Pinochet had no intention of complying. In response, the Carter administration implemented sanctions in 1979. By this time, Chile had already become a pariah on the diplomatic world stage, with condemnations from the U.N. and the OAS. Pinochet expected a friendlier attitude when Ronald Reagan came into office in 1981. But after some initial overtures toward the dictatorship, within a few years, the Reagan administration concluded Pinochet had to go. "Rather than an anti-communist bulwark, [to U.S. officials] the ageing dictator appeared to be more of an impediment to long-term stability," writes history professor John Bawden in a paper on the history of U.S. military aid to Chile. Many were especially horrified by the military's killing of a young photographer, Rodrigo Rojas, in 1986. The 19-year-old Washington, D.C., resident had returned to Chile, where he was born. During a street protest, he was beaten and set on fire along with 18-year-old engineering student Carmen Gloria Quintana. They were dropped in a ditch outside Santiago, left to die. Rojas died of his injuries days later; Quintana survived and was severely disfigured. Rojas' mother, Verónica De Negri, was living in Washington and was banned from returning to Chile. Dorfman says he was one of the people who helped facilitate her return to see her son in the hospital before he died. "I was in touch with the U.S. Embassy that was very active in that case," he says. "You could already see the change in the way in which the U.S. Embassy was acting. Instead of being supportive of Pinochet, as they had been for many, many years, they were outraged by this." But the Reagan administration considered its options for influencing Pinochet to be limited. Military aid was still cut off. Pinochet had backed the creation of a new constitution in 1980, in part to legitimize the military government. That same constitution now required a plebiscite that was held in 1988: "Yes" or "No" to more years of Pinochet in power. Thanks to the work of Chilean opposition groups and the "No" campaign's messaging, he lost. Pinochet's loss paved the way for democracy to return to Chile in 1990, though he still held influence over the country's politics for years after. Dorfman maintains that Chilean exiles and a solidarity network played a prominent role in supporting the opposition all those years — particularly with money. "The money kept people alive," he says. "They kept clandestine presses going. They kept trade union movements going. They kept youth movements going. They kept cultural movements going." Without the network, he says, "I think we would not have been able to stop Pinochet." Pinochet died in 2006 at age 91 having avoided trials for medical reasons. The legacy of the Chilean coup at 50 years Chile was far from the only place where the U.S. had either sponsored a coup or meddled in another country's politics. But it was the exceptional violence of Pinochet's government, the coup's timing during the Vietnam War and the unique influence of Chilean exiles that all made the coup particularly well-known in the canon of U.S. interventions abroad. Another factor is that conversations between top officials were well-documented — and many of those documents have been made public with the help of Kornbluh and the National Security Archive. The U.S. was "caught red-handed," Kornbluh says. And for its part, Chile has had an outsize role in world history, Siavelis says. It was among the first countries to democratically elect a Marxist leader. "It was the first country that really had as open a neoliberal economy as it had. Its democratic transition was lauded as an exemplar democratic transition," he says. It predated South Africa in its truth and reconciliation commission. A council is now working on a new constitution to replace the one dating to the dictatorship. Voters rejected a previous effort last year. "I do think that there's something there about the uniqueness of this country and its democratic experiments that it's had over the last 50 years," Siavelis says. "And that provides a lot of lessons for other countries in the world." Copyright 2023 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.

With that winter frost coming in and twinkling Christmas lights lining the streets, Cambridge is pretty beautiful during the winter period. But with the festive season now behind us and a cold few months ahead, there are plenty of activities to do in the city that have nothing to do with Christmas. Cambridge and its many parks make it a great place for a frosty winter walk. Or if you're brave enough, you could take a trip down the river in a punt. With the festive period also comes the Christmas rush, when shoppers bustle into the streets desperate to finish their Christmas shopping. Read more: 'I visited what is left of Cambridge Castle to see if it really is just a mound' Read more: All the artists and songs in the running for Christmas Number One this year So whether you're visiting for the winter or live nearby and are looking for some unique wintery things to do in Cambridge, take a look at our list for unique things you can do. Chilly punt down the river Cambridge is famous for its punts, especially in the summer when tourists bathe in the sunshine on the River Cam. But did you know that punting can be just as fun in the winter as in the summer? Not only is it a great activity for the family to enjoy together, it's also really funny as you all huddle together in your thick coats. In winter, most companies will provide extra blankets and hot water bottles to keep you cosy. Be sure to wrap up warm with plenty of layers too! On the punt you will float past Cambridge colleges, the Bridge of Sighs and the famous Mathematical Bridge. While prosecco is the tipple of choice for many during the summer, there's nothing to stop you from enjoying a flask of mulled wine to keep you warm. There are so many punting companies in Cambridge including Scholars Punting Co, Cambridge Punt Co, Let's Go Punting and so many more. Just remember to wrap up warm! Location: River Cam, Cambridge Ticket prices: Vary depending on company. Can range from £15-69 Winter season at Botanic Garden This famous garden has been popular with tourists to the city for centuries. Enjoyed the most during the summer season when the flowers bloom and bees buzz, we believe this garden is just as great in winter. If you're not a fan of crowds, you might even think its better than in summer. The greenhouses also provide a great escape from that bitter winter air. Open all year round, the garden has a range of floral displays regardless of the season. It’s perfect for a peaceful stroll and is a great way to enjoy Cambridge in winter. As well as the gardens, you’ll also find the Garden Shop which features a delightful range of all things gardening. Location: 1 Brookside, Cambridge CB2 1JE Ticket prices: Adults: £8, children Free (Tickets can be purchased using cash or card at the Gates upon arrival, or online in advance.) Website: https://www.botanic.cam.ac.uk/ Antiquities, art and animals If the British weather is playing you up and you would just like to be inside and warm, then there are plenty of museums and galleries to visit. The Fitzwilliam Museum is definitely the most well-known museum in the city. The art and antiquities museum of the University of Cambridge is located on Trumpington Street opposite Fitzwilliam Street in central Cambridge so it is also close to pretty much every attraction. Some of the other most popular museums to visit are the University Museum of Zoology, The Centre for Computing History and Kettle’s Yard Art Gallery - with each contain some really interesting artefacts and artworks from around the world. Chilly walks galore One of the most special things about Cambridge is its countless number of parks and green spaces. There are many that tourists and locals alike tend to visit more during the summer like Jesus Green and Lammas Land due to the lidos there, but others we think are just perfect for winter. Amongst these are Cherry Hinton Hall Park. Its beautiful house and grounds make it perfect for a chilly walk, and Milton Country Park also just slightly outside of the city, has a stunning lake and lots of forests to explore. Stourbridge Common, alongside the River Cam and Wandlebury Country Park just south of Cambridge with 8 miles of winding footpaths are also perfect for winter walks.

08:21, 01 February 2019 | GMT +6 French competition regulator imposes measures on Google over sharp practices ASTANA. KAZINFORM - France's competition regulator has on Thursday ordered Google to take urgent measures in respect of some of its advertising methods because these have negatively affected a telephone information company that runs a directory service in the country, EFE reports. The regulator said Amadeus, that offers the 118 001 directory inquiry service to French telephone callers, had referred Google's practices to it, saying the online search giant had as of Jan. 2018 suspended several of its accounts and refused advertisements, hence potentially acting in a discriminatory fashion and having abused its dominant position in the market.

Geopolitical challenges, elections in powerful economies, the trajectory of interest rates, the spread of artificial intelligence and efforts to transition to a greener environment amid major climate changes are major challenges for the European and global economy in 2024. The Economic Post today presents Kazamias 2024, with contributions from international media, authoritative and authoritative global information, leading houses and international analysts who advance predictions in an ever-changing world. Battles: How the foggy landscape is evolving – what to expect in 2024 – In geopolitics, two major conflicts are already underway in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, and nobody can predict what will happen next as the thermometer rises in many parts of the world – from Europe to the Middle East and from there to China. With the fights that started for Taiwan. – Key elections could be the start of greater stability – or the start of new instability – as countries including the US, India and Indonesia go to the polls in 2024. – Major central banks, and notably the US Federal Bank and the European Central Bank, are called upon to decide when and how much to change policy after a year and a half of very high interest rates. -Artificial Intelligence (AI) seems unstoppable with ongoing developments – and concerns about how it will affect not just businesses, but employment and ultimately society as a whole. – Many promises have been made for a green transition at a time when the world's climate is changing, and many experts are warning that we are approaching or have reached a point of no return unless immediate action is taken. There are many predictions, some less optimistic, with a common denominator about the changes and challenges around much of society and the economy today: Thomson Reuters Democracy faces many threats and pressures around the world. While this is consistent growth over the years, the International News Agency warns that 2024 will be a particularly tense year as more than 50 countries and regional bodies head towards crucial elections. One of the most important elections is going to be held in the United States. “This will be a defining moment for the future of American democracy, marred by partisan polarization, misinformation, voter suppression and attacks on the integrity of the electoral system,” it said. India, the world's most populous country, will now hold important elections. Taiwan is expected to continue to be a sticking point for US-China relations as the island, which China considers its sovereign territory, prepares for democratic elections in mid-January. The election in Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim-majority country and a growing economic power, will be a test of its democratic resilience and its role in Southeast Asia. On the economic front, four years after the outbreak of the pandemic, “the international economy remains weak and uncertain. The pandemic has exposed and intensified the structural weaknesses and vulnerabilities of an interconnected global economy that is beginning to break down into competing blocs. Potentially only in its early stages (…) the overall restructuring of global trade (…) will have a significant impact on the world. “Supply chains will be reshaped, relationships between firms will need to be adjusted, and new competition will undoubtedly emerge,” he estimated. Inflation continues to be a major challenge facing the global economy through 2024. Bloomberg The hottest year on record, endless wars, deep polarization: 2023 will not be forgotten and will influence 2024, notes Bloomberg, citing the “explosion of violence between Israel and the Palestinians” as another “catastrophe” as the world is already tired of the bloody stalemate over Russia's invasion of Ukraine. ” It said shock waves from climate change continue to spread, with flooding in Libya killing thousands, a drought in Africa entering its third year and deadly wildfires ravaging Hawaii. “Politically, Europe sees the rise of right-wing populism in the US, with immigration and the environment among flashpoints,” it said, citing better news as the US and China pledged greater cooperation. And the COP28 climate summit ended with an agreement committing the world for the first time to move away from fossil fuels. Worried eyes are turning to the 2024 US elections, the international news agency added. Financial Times According to a Financial Times survey of economists, the eurozone economy is on track for moderate growth in 2024. “Nearly two-thirds of the 48 economists surveyed by the FT believed the single currency bloc was already in recession – usually defined as the contraction of two consecutive quarters of GDP from the previous quarter,” it noted. Most respondents predicted that the current contraction would be shallow in the first quarter of 2024 and return to moderate positive growth in the short term. However, they warned that overall 2024 will bring only weak growth and higher interest rates, potential volatility in the energy market. And geopolitical instability could cause even more problems. On average, economists polled by the FT forecast the Eurozone economy will grow by just 0.6% in 2024. They are more pessimistic than the European Central Bank and the IMF, which forecast economic growth of 0.8% and 1.2% respectively. . Alliance “2024 is expected to be a year of significant political upheaval and economic uncertainty. As countries with 60% of global GDP head to the polls, governments, businesses and households are adopting a widespread wait-and-see attitude, which could delay important economic decisions,” says House. This increased uncertainty is most evident in countries such as China, Germany and Britain. Allianz Research warns that this uncertainty could act as a negative supply shock, pushing up prices and constraining output, investment and consumption. Alliance mentions the phenomenon of populism. As it states, “Currently, more than a quarter of the world's countries are under populist leadership, with less than 10% of GDP per capita over a 15-year period associated with a style of government. The situation in Europe is classified as critical. “Issues related to inflation and immigration have fueled right-wing populism and raised concerns about the composition of the upcoming European Parliament. There are fears that it will tilt toward anti-environmental and anti-immigration positions, which could block significant progress in areas such as institutional reform and energy security. Goldman Sachs Goldman Sachs Research expects the global economy to beat expectations in 2024, just as it did in 2023. It was based on a forecast of strong income growth by investment bank economists amid expectations of falling inflation and a strong labor market, with interest rate hikes expected. It has already dealt huge blows to the outlook for GDP growth and manufacturing recovery. Central banks, meanwhile, have room to cut interest rates if they are concerned about a sluggish economy. World GDP is forecast to grow by 2.6% next year. The bank's economists expect US growth to once again outpace its developed market peers. JP Morgan The largest U.S. bank is focusing on the U.S. economy and says the effects of monetary policy will play out more broadly in 2024, with economic growth slowing as post-pandemic tailwinds fade. He estimates that real GDP growth will fall somewhere between a modest expansion and a soft landing. “After tracking better-than-expected real GDP growth of 2.8% in 2023, we forecast an expansion rate of below 0.7% in 2024,” it noted. A dollar rate hike cycle is estimated to keep the Fed on hold until mid-2024. A 25 basis point cut is forecast from June, bringing the Fed's target range to 4.00%-4.25% by the end of 2024. big Fiscal stimulus will turn to a smaller upside in 2024 than expected in the US economy in 2023, it added. Fitch Ratings More technically, the international rating agency estimates that global growth remained at a good level in 2023 as consumption in China normalized and US growth recovered. The full impact of the recent monetary crisis is still being felt, with China's ongoing asset slump and the Eurozone economy stagnating, with global growth expected to slow sharply to 2.1% in 2024. Central banks are concerned about early success in the fight against inflation and are expected to keep interest rates “under control” for some time. The central bank is expected to keep interest rates on hold until July, then cut by 100 basis points to 4.75% by the end of the year. The ECB is expected to ease in April, cutting interest rates by 75 basis points by the end of the year and setting the key refinancing rate at 3.75%. Instead, the Bank of Japan is expected to raise its key interest rate next year. EY By 2024, AI and sea-to-sea developments will emerge as new issues fueling geopolitical competition and driving regulatory dynamics, EY estimates. As mentioned, “To thrive in this new era, companies will need to adapt their business models, strategies, supply chains and sustainability plans”, especially based on the dynamics of 2023 for AI, “The geopolitics of artificial intelligence will increase. Important in 2024. To reduce the chances of socio-political risks. Governments will struggle to regulate artificial intelligence, but policymakers will simultaneously try to encourage domestic AI innovation to compete in the geopolitical arena. As a result, artificial intelligence will be a central dynamic in US-China relations. In 2024, dual efforts to innovate and oversee artificial intelligence will shift to separate geopolitical blocs. Accelerate,” it noted.

On December 22, the Delhi Police said the six individuals accused in the Parliament breach incident underwent psychoanalysis at a government institute in the city in order to ascertain their motives. The term ‘psychoanalysis’ is usually restricted to the medical literature on mental health when it isn’t provoking suspicious questions. For example, in my own practice, many of my clients have asked me, “Are you psychoanalysing my mind?” Psychoanalysis is an important tool but is often misunderstood. How did psychoanalysis originate? Psychoanalysis isn’t a form of psychotherapy but in fact a worldview. It was the first modern Western system of psychotherapy. The Viennese psychiatrist Sigmund Freud coined the term and developed it with many of his colleagues and peers. He developed psychoanalysis as a treatment modality for people presenting with symptoms that other physicians were unable to treat. The prominence of such ‘classical psychoanalysis’ has declined over time, while the topic has itself evolved to become less authoritarian and more practical. Its evolution has been influenced by developments in neurology, psychiatry, psychology, philosophy, and the social and natural sciences. ADVERTISEMENT Psychoanalysis aims to give people a greater degree of agency by facilitating awareness of their unconscious wishes and defences. In 1886, Freud collaborated with physician Josef Breuer, known for his dramatic successes in treating clients with “hysteria”. Their approach involved nudging people to talk about themselves in a bid to recount buried traumatic experiences. Breur found that when these people were able to recall traumatic experiences in an affectively charged fashion, their symptoms diminished. This approach came to be known as “the talking cure”. What is the unconscious? The unconscious is conceptually central to psychoanalytic theory. Freud posited that certain memories and associated affects are cut off from consciousness because of their threatening nature. Over time, he came to believe instinctual impulses and associated wishes – in addition to traumatic memories – were also not allowed into awareness, and that this happened via cultural conditioning: in which people believed such instincts were ‘unacceptable’. For example, a person angry with their colleague may disavow these feelings and push them out of awareness by repressing them. Repression is an important psychoanalytic construct characterised by the unconscious forgetting of painful ideas or impulses in order to protect the psyche. Freud elaborated on this idea by distinguishing between the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is the part of the psyche present from birth and is based on instincts. It presses for instant gratification and discounts situational realities. The ego, emerging out of the id, is its more rational counterpart. Unlike the id, the ego weighs situations before pressing for gratification. It also delays gratification by channeling instinctual needs in a socially acceptable manner. The superego emerges by internalising social values and norms. This psychic agency can be overly harsh and demanding, often leading a person to adopt a punitive stance towards their own instinctual needs. Many contemporary psychoanalysts no longer find this distinction useful, and instead view the mind as being composed of multiple self-states that emerge in different contexts. What are fantasies, defences, and resistance? Freud posited that fantasies served numerous psychic functions, including the need to feel safe, regulate self-esteem, and overcome traumatic experiences. He’d previously theorised that fantasies were linked to sexual or aggressive wishes and provided imaginary wish fulfillment. Since fantasies were expected to motivate a person’s behaviour, he believed exploring and interpreting them was vital for psychoanalysis. A defence is an intrapsychic process that helps individuals avoid emotional pain by pushing thoughts, wishes, feelings, and fantasies out of conscious awareness. Via projection, individuals can attribute their own threatening feelings or motives to another person. And via reaction formation, they can deny a threatening feeling by claiming they’re experiencing the opposite. Using rationalisation, an individual can find excuses that justify unacceptable behaviours when self-esteem is threatened. Splitting is a way for individuals with borderline personality disorder to think in extremes, regarding people as either perfect or deeply flawed, exclusively nurturing or rejecting, etc. Individuals with serious physical illnesses may deny being informed of the illness because that would threaten their reality. Through displacement, individuals can shift emotions from one object onto a less threatening one so that the latter replaces the former. (A person who loses a child in a road accident, and thereafter devotes themselves to campaigning against dangerous driving, is exhibiting displacement. From a psychoanalytic perspective, the emotion attached to the child is replaced by emotions attached to the ideals of the campaign.) Through identification, a victim may assume the faults of the opponent. For example, a woman facing domestic violence may believe she deserves to be beaten to justify her husband’s aggression. Via sublimation, a person may transfer unacceptable impulses onto more acceptable alternatives, like channeling anger into political activism. Freud formalised the concept of resistance when he found his clients were reluctant to work with him. He responded by asking them to engage in free-association: that is, they could say anything that came to their minds, without self-censorship. What are transference and countertransference? It wasn’t uncommon for his clients to view him as tyrannical if they had a tyrannical father. In Freud’s view, his clients were transferring a template from the past into the present. He believed transference provided a window of opportunity for a person to gain insights into the effects of adverse past experiences on current behaviour. He also believed that if a therapist maintained anonymity, by withholding information about the therapist’s own life or views, the person became less likely to develop transference towards the therapist. Freud also held that the therapist may have their own unresolved unconscious conflicts and that they paved the way for the therapist to develop feelings towards the client. So, in his view, the therapist had to work through their own countertransference via personal supervision or self-analysis. How does psychoanalysis help? It was common practice for Freud to interpret his and his clients’ dreams. He considered dreams to be forms of wish fulfilment, and believed interpreting them to be central to psychoanalysis. Contemporary psychiatrists disagree, however. Change generally involves making the unconscious conscious. In Freud’s view, humans are driven by unconscious wishes that aren’t in our awareness and that this lack of awareness drives self-defeating behaviour. He reasoned that individuals deluded themselves about the reasons for their behaviour and that the self-deception limited their choices. According to psychoanalysis, the therapeutic relationship is itself a change mechanism. By acting in a different way than a client’s parents did, the therapist can present a new relational experience that challenges the client’s maladaptive models. Traditional psychoanalysis involves four to six sessions per week, and often lasts for years. Contemporary psychoanalysts believe longer-term intensive treatment has certain advantages. While circumscribed symptoms can change in the short term, more fundamental changes in personality functioning need more time to manifest. However, long-term intensive treatment isn’t always feasible, practical or even desirable. Contemporary psychoanalytic practice involves shorter term consultations happening once or twice a week. Dr. Alok Kulkarni is a senior geriatric psychiatrist and neurophysician at the Manas Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Hubli. ADVERTISEMENT

US Domestic News Roundup: McKinsey to pay $78 million in US opioid settlement with health plans; Ohio governor vetos ban on transgender care, sports participation; 'American Idol' star Paula Abdul sues producer Nigel Lythgoe for sexual assault and more Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing the prosecution, argued in a court filing that nothing in the U.S. Constitution or American legal tradition supports giving former presidents “absolute immunity” from criminal charges for action taken while in office. US appeals court allows California to bar guns in most public places A federal appeals court on Saturday cleared the way for a California law that bans the carrying of guns in most public places to take effect at the start of 2024, as the panel put on hold a judge's ruling declaring the measure unconstitutional. Following is a summary of current US domestic news briefs. Ohio governor vetos ban on transgender care, sports participation Ohio Governor Mike DeWine on Friday vetoed a bill that sought to ban gender-affirming care for transgender youth and stop trans athletes from competing on their gender identity's sports teams in the midwestern state. The bill, which passed the Republican-dominated state legislature this month, would prohibit physicians from performing gender reassignment surgery or prescribing puberty-blocking drugs to assist a minor with gender transition. 'American Idol' star Paula Abdul sues producer Nigel Lythgoe for sexual assault U.S. singer, dancer and "American Idol" star Paula Abdul filed a lawsuit accusing British television executive Nigel Lythgoe of sexually assaulting her when they worked together on two popular talent shows, according to court documents. Abdul, who rose to fame as a chart-topping singer in the late 1980s, alleged in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday that Lythgoe sexually assaulted her in an elevator during the early seasons of TV singing competition series "American Idol." McKinsey to pay $78 million in US opioid settlement with health plans Consulting firm McKinsey & Co has agreed to pay $78 million to resolve claims by U.S. health insurers and benefit plans that it fueled an epidemic of opioid addiction through its work for drug companies including OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma. The settlement was disclosed in papers filed on Friday in federal court in San Francisco. It marked the last in a series of settlements McKinsey has reached resolving lawsuits over the U.S. opioid epidemic. Massive waves on California coast cause flooding, force evacuations Coastal communities in California faced another day of towering waves and possible flooding on Saturday as officials issued evacuation orders in some areas and warned residents to stay off beaches and coastal roadways. The National Weather Service in Los Angeles forecast significant flooding in low-lying coastal areas with powerful waves and strong rip current posing an "exceptional risk" of drowning and damage to structures like piers and jetties. Ex-Trump fixer Michael Cohen says AI created fake cases in court filing Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former fixer and lawyer, said in court papers unsealed on Friday that he mistakenly gave his attorney fake case citations generated by an artificial intelligence program that made their way into an official court filing. Cohen, who is expected to be a star witness against Trump at one of the former president's criminal trials, said in a sworn declaration in federal court in Manhattan that he did not realize the citations generated by Google Bard were fictitious. US urges appeals court to reject Trump immunity claim in 2020 election case U.S. prosecutors on Saturday urged a federal appeals court to reject former President Donald Trump’s claim that he cannot face criminal charges for seeking to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election. Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing the prosecution, argued in a court filing that nothing in the U.S. Constitution or American legal tradition supports giving former presidents “absolute immunity” from criminal charges for action taken while in office. US appeals court allows California to bar guns in most public places A federal appeals court on Saturday cleared the way for a California law that bans the carrying of guns in most public places to take effect at the start of 2024, as the panel put on hold a judge's ruling declaring the measure unconstitutional.

As the New Year rolls around, it's the perfect time to burn off those festive calories and go for a relaxing winter walk. Going for a stroll on the beach may seem a bit odd in this weather, but it's the perfect day out, no matter how cold it is. Here in Cambridgeshire, we don't have any beaches or coastline to enjoy, but we do have plenty nearby in Norfolk and Suffolk. One such place is extremely popular and widely regarded as one of the best in the UK. Wells-next-the-Sea, located on the stunning North Norfolk coast, is always buzzing with life. It's well known for its harbour, its huts, its range of fish and chip shops, and of course, its beach. Read more: Interactive map shows the areas in Cambridgeshire with the worst drivers Read more: How to see baby seal pups just a two-hour drive from Cambridge The walk starts and finishes on the beach, taking in the hustle and bustle of the town as well as the golden sand dunes and thick pine woodlands. There are also plenty of dog-friendly areas if you want to bring your pooch along for your journey. You can also extend the route by continuing west along the beach to Holkham Gap. However, going back to discover the pubs, cafes, ice cream shops and chippies on offer in Wells also makes for an exciting prospect. Although this is a simple route, the length of the sea wall and the fact that the whole walk covers almost five miles may prove to be a challenge. However, the terrain is flat and mostly easy underfoot, so none of these things should put you off from experiencing the coast's breathtaking views. The drive from Cambridge clocks in at just under two hours, but you could also take the train to King's Lynn and get the bus from there. Nevertheless, it is definitely a bucket list-worthy visit and always a fun day out if you fancy a trip to the coast.

Workers who remove asbestos could get increased safety, through new rules in the new year. The province says starting in January, asbestos-abatement employers must be licensed and must also make sure that their workers are certified for the job. This comes as a response to the dangers of asbestos, with asbestos-related diseases causing the most work-related deaths in B.C. The province adds that WorkSafe BC will oversee both the licensing program and worker certification, with hopes that these changes will keep workers and the public safe.

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

Indian Wushu players disappointed after Chinese visa denial By ANI | Published: September 26, 2023 09:32 AM2023-09-26T09:32:05+5:302023-09-26T09:35:03+5:30 Itanagar (Arunachal Pradesh) [India], September 26 : Despite not being able to compete in the ongoing 19th Asian Games ... Itanagar (Arunachal Pradesh) [India], September 26 : Despite not being able to compete in the ongoing 19th Asian Games in China, the three Wushu players from Arunachal Pradesh - Nyeman Wangsu, Onilu Tega and Mepung Lamgu are optimised to perform better in the future and want the government of India to solve the issue. The three Indian athletes were denied entry to China to compete in the Hangzhou Asian Games last week. The absent trio – Lamgu, Wangsu and Tega – come from Arunachal Pradesh, a state in the northeast of India. The young Wushu players were given a warm welcome at the Naharlagun Railway station by the well-wishers, wushu association and family members on Tuesday as they returned home. "We will work harder in the future and focus more on the upcoming games. We want China to solve this soon. All the big Wushu games coming up will be in China so we want this to be resolved as soon as possible. I appeal to the Indian government to solve this soon," Onilu Tega told ANI. Two of the Wushu players hailing from Arunachal Pradesh, Onilu and Mepung who were approved to participate by the Hangzhou Asian Games 2023 Organising Committee but were unable to download their accreditation cards - which act as visas to enter China. Mepung said that they were ready to participate in their respective matches but because of some problems, the three players from Arunachal were left "disappointed". Union Minister Anurag Thakur also cancelled his visit to China for the Asian Games on Friday as a reply to China's denial of visas to Wushu players. "We were totally ready to participate, but because of some small thing, we could not go. We were disappointed. Whatever is meant to happen will happen and we cannot force it. We want to appeal to the government. The government tried hard. Even the Union Minister cancelled his trip for us. We will do our best for the future," Mepung told ANI. The third athlete Nyeman, who managed to download her accreditation, was informed that she would not be allowed to travel beyond Hong Kong. The athletes were to take part in individual events of the martial arts sport. Nyeman asserted that this significant controversy has made the whole nation disappointed however they will move forward from this and give their best. The players urged the central government to solve the India-China issue as soon as possible so the other sports persons will not face the same problem. "Apart from us, the whole of India is disappointed because we did not get to play. When the Wushu event also started, we felt very hurt because of this. We will try to give our best in future," Nyeman said. The athletes can however take heart from India's strong performance in the Wushu event in the ongoing Asian Games. Roshibina Naorem Devi from Manipur stormed into the semi-final in the women's 60 Kg category assuring the country of at least a bronze. Surya Bhanu also posted a win over Uzbekistan’s Khaydarov 2-1 in the 1/8 final in the men’s 60kg category to qualify for the next round.

We discover everything about Brisbane’s LGBTQIA+ swim club Aqualicious, from what level you need to be, to social events and how you can join. As the temperatures rise at this time of year, many of us will take relief in swimming pools and beaches across the country. Swimming is such a big part of the Australian summer and for a group of Brisbane’s LGBTQIA+ community, it’s more than just a quick dip in the pool. Aqualicious is Brisbane LGBTQIA+ masters swim club. They are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year and currently have around 30 members. Club President Dylan Carmichael, who joined the club 10 years ago said that everyone from the community is welcome to get involved. “Our club welcomes people of all abilities and we’re more than happy for people to join us for three or four sessions to see how they go, before deciding to join or not.” “Our members come from all the various parts of our community as well as our straight allies. Aqualicious welcomes all trans and non-binary swimmers.” What level do you have to be to join? For those worrying about their level of swimming, Dylan shares that just one lap is more than enough. “All you need to get your start in the cocktail lane is 50m freestyle without stopping. Bonus points if you can do backstroke, breaststroke or butterfly but, we’ll help you learn those if you don’t know them now,” he says. “As Head Coach I started 10 years ago swimming 50m and heaving my guts up at each end. Now my favourite race is the 1500m breaststroke! We also have the super fish lane [for more advanced swimmers] and everything in between, just like the rest of our community.” Lex, the oldest member of Aqualicious, shared with us the reason he joined. “Primarily, I joined the club to meet other people in the LGBTQIA+ community after moving to Brisbane and to participate in the sport of swimming for fitness. I was not a pub or nightclub sort of person so Aqualicious was a social opportunity to meet other like-minded people,” he said. For those looking for competition as well as social connection, there are plenty of opportunities. “Our swimmers regularly compete at meets around the country – you can chase medals and records if you have a competitive drive, but most Masters’ members are looking for personal bests and celebrate those achievements as much. While it’s certainly encouraged, there is absolutely no obligation to compete. That’s completely up to you,” Dylan explains. How to join Aqualicious Aqualicious runs several sessions during the week. They take place at the Centenary Pool in Spring Hill and run for an hour on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings. Social dinners and coffees after the sessions also take place. If you are feeling inspired and are interested in joining, Dylan explains what to do. “All you need to do is turn up to the pool with togs, goggles and a towel; tell the person at reception that you’re here for Aqualicious and they’ll point you to us! We’ll help you with the rest!” For those feeling nervous, he has some advice. “Nervous? I promise that you don’t need to be. No one is looking at you, or what you’re wearing, and our coaches have never had to do paperwork for a drowning yet. We’re all there to swim and have a good time, and our people are all really nice!” For more information on the club and how to join, visit: aqualicious.org.au For the latest LGBTIQA+ Sister Girl and Brother Boy news, entertainment, community stories in Australia, visit qnews.com.au.

BJP claims attacks on Christians who joined party in Kerala; warns of retaliation The BJP on Sunday alleged that members of the Christian community who recently joined the party in Kerala are facing online attacks from supporters of the Congress and the CPIM.The saffron party, which has been actively courting the Christian community in the state, issued a warning of strong retaliation against those involved in the attacks. - Country: - India The BJP on Sunday alleged that members of the Christian community who recently joined the party in Kerala are facing online attacks from supporters of the Congress and the CPI(M). The saffron party, which has been actively courting the Christian community in the state, issued a warning of strong retaliation against those involved in the attacks. This comes a day after a Christian priest and around 50 families from the minority community joined the saffron party in Kerala. A BJP spokesman claimed that members of the Christian community have been subjected to ''brutal cyber attacks'' since joining the saffron party. ''We will protect them at any cost. We will fight tooth and nail against those who make any move against them. There will be a strong retaliation,'' BJP state president K Surendran told reporters. The BJP leader alleged that the Congress and the BJP were viewing the joining of the minority community in the party with utmost intolerance. The minority community members, including the priests who joined the BJP, were threatened, Surendran said. He said that individuals attempting to humiliate and attack them personally, through various means, will face severe consequences. Around 50 Christian families, including Fr Shaiju Kurien, Secretary of the Orthodox Church Nilakkal Bhadrasanam in Pathanamthitta district in southern Kerala, joined the BJP in the presence of Union Minister V Muraleedharan on Saturday. In a Facebook post, the saffron party said many people from the Kerala Congress (Jacob) faction also joined the party in the presence of the state president Surendran in Thrissur district in central Kerala on Saturday. The party attributed the appeal to minorities joining its ranks to the visionary approach of development under the leadership of the Narendra Modi-led government. ''Over the past decade, the Modi government has shown a strong dedication to development. This is a significant factor motivating minorities to support and join the BJP,'' the party said. The BJP also said that it is dispelling the notion that false propaganda can keep minorities away from the party. This development comes shortly after the saffron party resumed its 'Sneha Yatra,' an outreach programme aimed at connecting with the Christian community in the state. ''The BJP can dispel misconceptions among minority groups through programmes like Sneha Yatra. It is certain that more people will join the BJP in the coming days to be a part of development politics,'' the party said. Responding to the development, the Congress alleged that ''the Sangh Parivar is a movement that targets Christians across India.'' Leader of Opposition in the Assembly V D Satheesan alleged that the BJP in Kerala is like ''a wolf in sheep's clothing, infiltrating Christian homes.'' Christians in Kerala have the wisdom to recognise their true intentions, he told reporters in Kochi. The Congress maintains a secular stance, a position consistent even in Karnataka, Satheesan added. Resuming the Sneha Yatra last week, the BJP state chief had visited top priests of various churches in the state, including Cardinal George Alencherry, the former head of the prominent Syro-Malabar Church, and Archbishop Joseph Kalathiparbil of the Latin Archdiocese of Verapoly, to convey Christmas greetings from the Prime Minister. Although many senior bishops of various denominations have made pro-BJP statements on several occasions in the state in recent times, the alleged silence of the party-led Union government on the Manipur violence issue had created differences between them. The Congress party in the state has strongly criticised the BJP's initiative to reach out to the Christian community, stating that it is not a ''Sneha Yatra,'' the journey of love, but rather the ''kiss of Judas.''

A former WWE Champion is currently a part of AEW's disciplinary committee. The star in question is Bryan Danielson. He was apparently one of the few people who were involved in the decision making behind the firing of CM Punk from the Jacksonville-based promotion. Many critics and veterans were wondering if adding a wrestler to such a committee was a good move. Recently, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long stated that it was important to have pro wrestlers in such groups as they could understand a fellow wrestler's point of view. Mac Davis also questioned AEW's decision to put The American Dragon in such a difficult situation. While speaking on The Wrestling Time Machine, Bill Apter said that Danielson could've rejected the offer to join the disciplinary committee if he wanted to. "He could've said no," Bill Apter said.

A Lewis County man is known for his contributions to the local medical community. According to local historian Ron Bailey, Dr. Harry Denham was born in Lewis County on June 17, 1918. Denham attended Maysville High School and became a star basketball player and a gridiron for the Maysville Bulldogs team. “He was so good that Adolph Rupp offered his a scholarship to college,” Bailey said. After graduating from high school, Denham attended the University of Kentucky in 1936. He began playing both basketball and football at UK. In 1941, he graduated from UK. “After graduating from UK in 1941, he attended the University of Louisville Medical School where he graduated in 1944,” Bailey said. According to Bailey, during the restructuring of Europe at the end of World War II, Denham served two years with the U.S. Army Medical Corps in Vienna, Austria. He returned to Maysville in 1950. “He and his brother, Dr. Mitchel B. Denham, a former Kentucky legislator, were leaders in the drive to build the Lewis County and Mason County health departments, and in 1956, the brothers and Dr. George Estill started the Denham Medical Clinic,” he said. Denham became a general practitioner, obstetrician and surgeon. He also served as the Hayswood Hospital Chief of Staff and president of the UK Alumni Association. “He served a total of 10 years on the UK board of trustees,” Bailey said. “He served on the Maysville School Board for 21 years and he also was a president of the UK Alumni Association.” Denham was married to Minkie Clark Denham. He passed away in 2001.

The micro-precincts of Eastside Sydney are just a stone’s throw from the CBD, nestled within sprawling parklands, sprinkled with heritage architecture and are home to some of Sydney’s best food, drink, late night entertainment and retail experiences. WORDS Lorraine Lock The newly branded Eastside Sydney comprises Woolloomooloo, Potts Point, Kings Cross, Darlinghurst and Surry Hills. It’s long been home to a diverse mob of misfits, scoundrels and dreamers; from the razor gangs that fought over sly grog in the 1920s, to post WWII immigrants who added countless flavours to its cultural milieu. Hosting Sydney’s famous Golden and Glittering Miles of Oxford Street and Darlinghurst Road, Eastside is a melting pot of people, arts and culture: fiercely independent, eclectic, creative and queer! A handful of micro-precincts reside here, each with their own style and specialities. Sydney’s ‘alter-ego’ is easily accessed by walking, as you flow effortlessly from one precinct to the other, making it the ideal area to explore over a day or a weekend – or longer! Taster of the precincts What can you expect around Eastside Sydney? It would be impossible to pick out a favourite with all of the neighbourhoods having a different style but it’s definitely an art, design and food led culture with offerings to tantalise – anything from quirky street style to sophistication and the budget to match. Take the Kings X Quarter, once a notorious area, now reinventing itself with a clutch of small bars, speakeasies and upmarket nighttime destinations. Explore the streets and alley-ways off the main drag just behind the famous Coke Sign and discover your own new favourite late-night venue with burlesque, live music and cocktails flowing. Around the corner, past the El Alamein Fountain is Potts Point Village – the more genteel end of the point with fashion and interior stores selling highly curated local and international designer brands and upmarket French and Italian brasseries and bars offering a wide range of cuisine options day and night. The Rainbow Precinct encompasses Taylor Square and Oxford Street, long-time home and stomping ground of Sydney’s LGBTQIA+ community, where you can find a drag or variety show every night as Oxford reaffirms its place as a place to go for a good time with like-minded people. Here’s the place to find your tribe! Nearby, the Hollywood Quarter is indisputably one of Sydney’s best dining destinations with a clutch of hatted restaurants nestled together in just one square kilometre. HQ also boasts trendy boutique hotels; old school pubs with live music; and its very own arthouse cinema and bar. Eastside Sydney is also book-ended by the National Art School, the Australian Museum, NSW State Library, NSW Art Gallery and Botanic Gardens so there’s plenty to explore and enjoy both indoors and out. Exploring Sydney’s Eastside is an invitation to discover the true charm of this area’s inner city vibe where locals and visitors alike can relax, have fun and enjoy the best that Sydney has to offer. The Heart of Surry Hills is centred around the “community hub” of the library and Shannon Reserve, known for its relaxed vibe and trendy atmosphere. Here you can satisfy your taste buds and quench your thirst with fabulous eateries, charming cafes, and cosy bars and pubs all within a few blocks. Plus, there’s plenty of designer shops to spark your curiosity. Woolloomooloo combines waterfront luxury with post-industrial charm and is surrounded by the lush Botanic Gardens and sparkling Sydney Harbour. There is some seriously fine dining on the water in a spectacular converted industrial finger wharf. The local pub scene is strong too with untouched heritage gems and refurbished establishments dotted through the neighbourhood. It’s a simple walk between half a dozen venues variably offering water views, beer gardens, pub grub, trivia nights, tv sports and local interaction. Micro-precinct What’s a Micro-precinct? Well it seems to be the buzzword right now with the NSW Government supporting an initial 21 precincts across Sydney to “develop their local business communities and grow their districts into vibrant going-out hubs”. It’s the NSW Government’s 24-Hour Economy Strategy for Greater Sydney!

WCW veteran Disco Inferno made an interesting claim regarding the media that were present last night for the media scrum after Worlds End featuring Tony Khan and several other AEW stars. The media scrums usually happen at the end of the pay-per-views, where for around an hour or two, Khan addresses the media present and gives them a platform to ask him and the main stars of the pay-per-view relevant questions and queries. On Twitter, Disco Inferno claimed that the media present during the scrums are in no way actual media. He believed them to be simply VIPs who won meet and greets with Tony Khan and the other stars present. He could have based on the decorum, the questions asked, and the overall feel of the entire forum. "The wrestling media at the AEW scrums aren't media by any stretch of the imagination. They are AEW VIP meet and greet fans. Nothing more than that." Tony Khan says AEW will be very active in free agency in 2024 During the aforementioned media scrum, Tony Khan addressed the Bidding War of 2024. This was simply a proverbial war between major promotions, following several big names across the industry hitting free agency. Khan claimed that he would be active in free agency, saying that he has many cards up his sleeve. AEW has started strong, as they signed Will Ospreay a month and a half ago. "I plan to be very active in free agency. I, in 2024, have a lot of cards up my sleeve. So it's good to know that you [Toni Storm] are out there looking for the toughest competition, including Miss Wendi Richter," Khan said. Tony Khan's presentation of himself, along with the entire vibe of the media scrums does indeed seem informal, but according to Disco Inferno, it is so much more than that and does not seem like a forum with the media. Do you agree with his statement? Let us know in the comments section below. A former WWE star was upset about his release. He shoots from the hip here.

GEORGETOWN, Ohio – On Saturday, Dec. 16, a shooting occurred just south of Russellville, Ohio. According to Brown County Sheriff Gordon Ellis, the incident occurred around 1:36 a.m. with a report called in about an alleged shooting incident involving the victim Cody Henderson and the suspect Bruce Haddix. “On Dec. 16, 2023, at approximately 1:36 a.m., the Brown County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a male subject who had been shot in the foot in the vicinity of Bradley Drive and State Route 125 south of Russellville, Ohio” Ellis stated. It was described by Ellis that the altercation allegedly began over a dispute over parts for a bike that then allegedly lead to the suspect firing at the victim. Ellis stated that “The initial altercation began with a physical fight when Mr. Haddix secured a 9 mm handgun and chased Mr. Henderson to his vehicle which was parked outside of Mr. Haddix’s residence.” It is further stated by Ellis that “Mr. Haddix fired multiple rounds at Mr. Henderson, striking the vehicle, Mr. Henderson fled from the scene on foot.” The Brown County Tactical Team was then called for assistance from the Brown County Sheriff’s Office when Haddix would allegedly not exit his home. “The hostage negotiator made contact with Mr. Haddix and was able to convince him to exit his house where he was taken into custody by tactical team members without incident at approximately 4:15 a.m.” stated Ellis. Mr. Haddix was being held in the Brown County Jail and was initially charged with felonious assault and has since posted bond at $75,000. The investigation into this incident has gone very well according to Ellis and that the progress of it has been “steady” with some recoveries of important details of the incident. “The progress has been steady we did recover the firearm there was a search warrant executed after Mr. Haddix was taken into custody. We did recover a semi-automatic pistol within the house and then we also processed the scene and there was a vehicle outside it had what appeared to be multiple bullet holes in it” Ellis stated. Ellis stated that there are a couple of additional charges that will be presented to a grand jury next week on Jan. 4. “Charges will be presented to the grand jury on Jan. the fourth and currently we are looking at one felony, one misdemeanor charge to be added” Ellis stated.

KAZINFORM - Governor of the National Bank of Kazakhstan Daniyar Akishev has proposed to stop rendering governmental support for insolvent companies during today's enlarged meeting of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan with the participation of the Head of State, Kazinform correspondent reports. The head of the National Bank also proposed to consider the possibility of termination of the state aid measures for insolvent companies. "Direct government funding should remain only for large-scale infrastructure projects which are low-profit or socially-oriented. We need to raise the effectiveness of bankruptcy proceedings," added Daniyar Akishev. He informed that only 3.6 percent of small enterprises go bankrupt, and half of these are commercial ones.

Those who did injustice to society now thinking of 'nyay yatra': Nadda Targeting the Congress, BJP president J P Nadda on Sunday said those who spared no effort in doing injustice to society are now thinking about holding a nyay yatra.Addressing a public gathering here, Nadda also hit out at the opposition INDIA bloc, saying it is bent on dragging the country down while Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taking it forward.Nadda was here to participate in the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, which aims to spread the word about the central governments flagship schemes ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. - Country: - India Targeting the Congress, BJP president J P Nadda on Sunday said those who spared no effort in doing injustice to society are now thinking about holding a 'nyay yatra'. Addressing a public gathering here, Nadda also hit out at the opposition INDIA bloc, saying it is bent on dragging the country down while Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taking it forward. Nadda was here to participate in the 'Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra', which aims to spread the word about the central government's flagship schemes ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He also flagged off a half-marathon for women. ''Those people who spared no effort to break India over the last so many years had set out on Bharat Jodo Yatra. Those people who spared no effort in doing injustice to society are thinking about holding a 'nyay yatra' these days. ''Those people who never thought of anyone outside their family are talking about the country today,'' the BJP chief said. Last week, the Congress announced it will hold from January 14 a 'Bharat Nyay Yatra' led by Rahul Gandhi from Manipur to Mumbai, passing through 14 states. The exercise is being seen as the party's attempt to rally support ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Targeting the INDIA bloc, which also includes the Congress, Nadda said the opposition coalition is working to stop the country's growth. ''On one side, we have Modi ji who is taking the country forward and on the other side, we have the INDI Alliance that is bent on stopping the country (from growing). They are competing to drag the country down and we are competing to take India forward under the leadership of Modi ji,'' he said. Praising the development work of the double-engine government of the Centre and the state, the BJP president said, ''When Modi ji and Yogi (Adityanath) ji talk, they talk about how India should move forward.'' But when Akhilesh (Yadav) talks, when Rahul (Gandhi) talks, they only talk about their families, he said. ''Prime Minister Modi empowered the youth of the country through many schemes like 'Startup India', 'Khelo India' and 'Fit India'. This year, India gave its best performance in the Asian Games and won the maximum number of medals,'' he said. ''Modi ji has said he considers only four castes and these are women, farmers, youths and the poor. If we strengthen these four castes, then the dream of a developed India will come true,'' he added. The BJP chief also praised his party's government in Uttar Pradesh for taking the state forward. ''There was a time when Uttar Pradesh was known as a state of goons. It was difficult for women to come out of homes during night. At that time, Uttar Pradesh was a backward state. Today, with the blessings of Modi ji and the hard work of Yogi ji, Uttar Pradesh is moving forward at a fast pace,'' he said. Later, Nadda also addressed the Sankalp Yatra in the state capital. ''The objective of Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra is that no beneficiary should be left out. The benefits of the welfare schemes of the Central government should reach the people. Therefore, the government is reaching out to every person to make them aware of the schemes,'' he said. He also said if 'ujaala' (light) has to be understood, then first 'andhera' (darkness) should be identified. Recalling the days when he was MLA, Nadda said, ''In 1993, I had won the election in my region. At that time, the BDO used to come to my office and would say: 'Nadda sahab, this time you are getting two houses under Indira Awas Yojana in one panchayat. Tell me whom should I give?' I would say, brother I leave it to you. And today, I can say with pride that Prime Minister Modi ji has given four crore houses under the PM Awas Yojana. This is the difference between light and darkness.'' Then he gave another example of an elderly woman of a village who lost her hair as she had to walk three kilometres with earthen pots on her head to bring water. ''Today, under the Jal Jeevan Mission, every household is getting tap water,'' he said. ''The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is saying that in India, 13.50 crore people have moved above the poverty line,'' he said. Earlier, Nadda was welcomed by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and other senior BJP leaders upon his arrival here. In a post in Hindi on X, Adityanath said, ''Hearty welcome and congratulations to the honourable national president of @BJP4India Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda ji in the new land of investment and innovation 'New Uttar Pradesh'!'' Nadda and Adityanath, along with other party leaders, later listened to Modi's 'Mann ki Baat' radio broadcast. In the 108th episode of 'Mann Ki Baat', the prime minister said the country is imbued with the spirit of 'Viksit Bharat' and self-reliance, and asserted that this spirit and momentum has to be maintained in 2024 as well. Modi also emphasised physical and mental health and highlighted several unique efforts for 'Fit India'.

The BC Ferry and Marine Workers Union wants the public to throw ferry workers a lifeline. This comes as the union spun up a letter-writing campaign last week asking people to tell the BC Government that ferry workers deserve better wages and working conditions. The union says that despite low wages and understaffing, workers still show up to serve their communities. Much of the campaign centers around what the union calls the “misplaced priorities” of upper management. They cite salaries of the top Vice Presidents of the companies making over 5 times more per hour than ship crews. According to the Coastal Ferry Act, as of 2022, the top earners at BC Ferries can make anywhere between $431,365 to $635,085. To learn more about the campaign you can visit tellbcferries.ca.

Head of Skolkovo Foundation gets interested in Kazakhstan’s projects "In my opinion, this forum is a great opportunity to compare and see how the innovation process is developing in our countries. We are close to each other both in culture and regulation. We have free space for the movement of goods and services. Now we need to focus on the groundbreaking directions, on new technologies. Here, prime ministers and other forum members can discuss how to do it. We do it in practice - it is work on technology parks. It is important to make this process involve ministries, big companies, and other institutions to support investment and innovation. I think today is a great opportunity to do it," Arkady Dvorkovich said on the sidelines of the Digital Agenda into the Globalization 2.0 Forum organized by the Kazakh Ministry of Information and Communications. Dvorkovich also gave an insight into Kazakh-Russian projects. According to the speaker, he has seen the way Russian innovation companies operate at the Almaty TechnoPark. "It has created jobs. The developments that have been created in Moscow, Novosibirsk, and Kazan are brought to commercial operation here in Almaty. They are primarily related to the Industrial Internet of Things, artificial intelligence (AI), the use of big data, blockchain in medicine, agriculture, and logistics," Arkady Dvorkovich pointed out. He said that it is necessary to unite several crucial elements together: fundamental science, education, start-ups, big companies, and capital. This is what such foundations as Skolkovo and technology parks deal with. The speaker showed interests in Kazakh projects. "There are very interesting things related to the new technologies of extraction and processing of natural resources. [There are] big data technologies that make it possible to track payments in the financial system and prevent financial misconduct. We saw a very interesting agricultural development related to the selection and cultivation of various crops based on new methods with biotech and nanotechnology. The developments are very interesting." The Skolkovo Foundation is a scientific and technological innovation park specializing in the development and commercialization of new technologies.

Shimla records over 60 per cent occupancy on New Year's Eve, 'lowest in 40 years' - Country: - India Prediction of weekend snow and the chief minister's directions not to be harsh with drunk revelers on New Year failed to woo tourists to Shimla which recorded over 60 per cent occupancy till Sunday evening, ''the lowest in the last 40 years''. Last year, Shimla had recorded more than 80 per cent occupancy on New Year. The hotel and allied industries were pinning hopes on 'white New Year' but chances of snowfall appear very bleak. While, the Mall Road and The Ridge in the heart of the city are abuzz with tourists as winter carnival turned the place into a fair with lights and cultural bonanza being organised but tourist footfall has not converted in room occupancy in hotels, said Shimla Hotel and Tourism Stakeholders Association president M K Seth. The occupancy is about 60 per cent which is the lowest in the last 40 years and even during the Covid-19 pandemic, the tourist rush on New Year was more than this time, he told the PTI on Sunday. He said that the vehicles without prior bookings were being diverted from the Shoghi by the police not realising that the majority of the tourists on the New Year are on the spot tourists which also affected tourist rush to the main city. However, the matter was resolved after he spoke with the SP, Seth added. Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu had directed to follow the slogan of 'Atithi Devo Bhava', facilitate the tourists and make adequate arrangements and proper plans in all districts for smooth flow of traffic. Besides allowing food joints and pan shops to remain open 24x7, he had said that drunk tourists would not be arrested, but would be facilitated by the police to their hotels to ensure that their New Year experience is not spoiled. The unregistered tourism units are eating into the sales of registered hotels, home stays and other such accommodations, said Seth adding that the tourists coming by train and luxury buses are ''captured'' by touts which take them to unregistered accommodations. ''We are surprised to see such a drop in tourist inflow when all the things are favourable. This is the lowest occupancy in my living memory'' said vice president of the association Prince Kukreja, hoping that the occupancy would pick up by late evening. The state government claimed that lakhs of tourists have visited Himachal Pradesh for the New Year. Talking to reporters here, CM Sukhu said that tourism has bounced back on track with the efforts of the government in three months after the monsoon disaster. Himachal welcomes tourists, he added. A large number of tourists prefer isolated accommodations in the suburbs with forest cover and peace, and tourists planning private parties are also going beyond the city, said local hotelier Shishu, adding that even the hotels in the main town, which are normally packed during this time of the year, are not packed to the capacity. About 9770 tourists vehicles from other states crossed Shoghi barrier on city suburbs on the Shimla-Chandigarh Road from Saturday morning (8 am) to Sunday afternoon (4 pm), said SP Shimla Sanjeev Kumar. The tourism stakeholders added that adverse publicity on social media and some electronic channels regarding traffic jams diverted tourists to other destinations. The local Met office had predicted snowfall and rainfall at isolated places in high-and-mid hills on Saturday and Sunday as a fresh Western Disturbance lies over the Himalayan region. However, no snowfall was witnessed in the key tourist resorts. (This story has not been edited by Devdiscourse staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)

Following his departure from AEW, a certain former AEW champion has sent their best wishes to Andrade El Idolo ahead of his future in wrestling moving forward. This would be Thunder Rosa. Reports regarding the luchador becoming a free agent have been surfacing for the past few days. Last night, at the media scrum after Worlds End, Tony Khan addressed the former NXT Champion's future with AEW and revealed that they have not been able to strike a deal and he would now hit free agency. Thunder Rosa took to Twitter to post a short message for her fellow Mexican wrestler, Andrade El Idolo. She complimented him and wished him the best wherever he went next. The two never got the chance to team up in AEW during the two years the former NXT star was with them. Below is a translated version, via Google, of the original tweet which was in Spanish. "You are one of the most real people I have ever met. I am proud of you my friend and for always doing what is best for you. You are a role model! I hope to see you soon and much, much success buddy and I'm going to miss you 🐕 @AndradeElIdolo." The tweet can also be seen below: Andrade El Idolo suffers betrayal in last match in AEW Last night, in what was his first and last match in singles competition on an AEW pay-per-view, Andrade El Idolo took on Miro. This was a grudge match as the latter wanted to destroy the luchador after he became the first client of his wife, CJ Perry. Andrade was able to hold his own against The Redeemer despite a size and strength difference, and he used his speed and craftiness to his advantage. He also had a genuine chance to win the match after having the Figure-Eight submission hold locked in. His manager would be the one to spell his doom, as she pushed his body, which caused him to lose his balance and break the hold. This allowed Miro to blindside him and lock in his Game Over hold for the win. The reasons for CJ Perry's actions were still not known. She could have done this to remind her husband what a great manager she was and play mind games with him, or she could have done this as her so-called client couldn't even beat Miro. Sooner or later, she may address her actions. How do you feel about Andrade El Idolo leaving AEW? Let us know in the comments section below. A former WWE star was upset about his release. He shoots from the hip here.

Head of State congratulates newlyweds from Astana Every love story is special. At the start of the Year of Youth, one of these stories led to the birth of the metropolitan family of Aidar and Ainagul Suleimenov. The young people met in Astana, the city which helped them make their dreams come true. Aidar and Ainagul got acquainted in 2017. He worked at the Astana EXPO 2017, and she visited the international exhibition. However, they failed to meet after the exhibition. Six months later, Aidar and Ainagul began to correspond via one of the social networks and found out that they moved into the same new building and became neighbors. Before the wedding, he decided to receive a blessing from the Head of State. In January, the guy wrote an email to the Akorda Presidential Residence and invited the President of Kazakhstan to his wedding party. Mayor of Astana Bakhyt Sultanov handed the Head of State's letter of congratulations to the newlyweds. According to the mayor, the President of Kazakhstan was deeply moved by the young man's letter and congratulated Aidar and Ainagul on the beginning of their family life, wishing them good health, happiness, and a bright future. "On behalf of the Leader of the Nation and all residents of Astana, I sincerely congratulate you on your wedding day! As you know, the Head of State declared this year as the Year of Youth. This is a great hope, a tremendous opportunity for young people like you. In this regard, much will be done in Astana to improve the social status of young people, to support their creative endeavors. As far as I know, Aidar came to Astana from Karaganda region, while Ainagul is from Akmola region. And you met at the EXPO 2017 International Exhibition hosted by our capital. The Astana EXPO 2017 is one of the strategic projects of the Leader of the Nation. In addition to lots of impressions, the exhibition also gave us many innovations. Our capital can be called a place of the accomplishment of young people's desires and attainment of happiness. Therefore, I wish you love, peace, and harmony!" said Bakhyt Sultanov.

Year Ender 2023: INDIA bloc struggles to resolve issues; BJP executing strategies for 2024 Lok Sabha polls India's political landscape is undergoing a significant transition as the 2024 Lok Sabha elections draw near. INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) consortium is gearing up to challenge the established National Democratic Alliance. The bloc is struggling to resolve key challenges including finalising on seat-sharing arrangements most importantly deciding on a PM face while the BJP has started executing strategies it laid off in 2023 to secure victory in General elections. - Country: - India India's political landscape is undergoing a significant transition as the 2024 Lok Sabha elections draw near. INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) consortium is gearing up to challenge the established National Democratic Alliance. The bloc is struggling to resolve key challenges including finalising on seat-sharing arrangements most importantly deciding on a PM face while the BJP has started executing strategies it laid off in 2023 to secure victory in General elections. The political landscape of India is experiencing a profound transformation in anticipation of the 2024 elections. The rise of the INDIA alliance, a revamped version of the existing UPA, poses a formidable challenge to the enduring supremacy of the NDA. This transformation, characterised by shifting alliances, alterations in vote percentages, and fluctuations in seat allocations, highlights the dynamic and unpredictable nature of India's electoral scenario. Till now, the INDIA bloc have held four meeting. The first meeting of the joint opposition convened in Patna on June 23 and the second meeting was held in Bengaluru on July 17-18. The third meeting happened in Mumbai on August 31-September 1 and the fourth meeting was held on December 19 in the national capital. INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) parties are seeking to put a united challenge against the BJP-led NDA in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.The 28 parties participated in the fourth meeting and kept their thoughts before the committee of the alliance. Challenges for INDIA bloc Coming up to the challenges which the INDIA bloc might face are finalising a seat-sharing arrangement and agreement on a PM face.The centrality of the Congress to the bloc was inadvertently endorsed by Mamata Banerjee and Arvind Kejriwal, when they proposed Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge as the PM face of the INDIA bloc but Kharge said that the question of PM face could be decided after the Lok Sabha polls.As the 2024 Lok Sabha elections loom just four months away, the allocation of seats becomes pivotal for the and INDIA bloc, especially after recent electoral setbacks.This discontent among INDIA bloc leaders is not unprecedented, as evident from previous meetings. During the Assembly elections statements made by SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and Congress state president Ajay Rai had created the rift between the parties. Later, the Congress high command had intervened and talked to the SP chief to solve the issue.Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav attacked its INDIA block ally Congress on caste census, reminding them that the party did not conduct a caste census when it was in power."Congress is the party that did not conduct caste census after independence... When all the parties in the Lok Sabha were demanding a caste census, they did not conduct a caste census," Akhilesh Yadav told ANI Satna in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh.Given that concerns such as the caste census failed to strike a chord with voters in recent state elections, leaders of the INDIA bloc may reconsider their strategy and work on formulating a fresh approach. INDIA bloc meetings The inaugural meeting of the Opposition coalition took place in Patna, with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar being the convenor. Fifteen opposition parties participated with the aim of consolidating their forces against the Modi led central government in the impending general elections.In the second meeting held in Bengaluru 26 opposition parties forged an alliance. During the meeting, the coalition was christened INDIA, an acronym for the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance. In the Mumbai meeting, the opposition parties adopted resolutions to collectively contest the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections while announcing that seat-sharing arrangements would be finalized as soon as possible in a spirit of give-and-take.Moreover, in the fourth meeting INDIA bloc addressed various issues, including seat-sharing, a joint campaign blueprint, and devising a strategy to take on the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. The fourth meeting was held in the backdrop of escalating tensions between the government and the opposition over the suspension of parliamentarians during the winter session of Parliament.Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge asserted that INDIA bloc parties will focus on seat-sharing talks at the state level, adding that if any issue arises, it will be taken up at the leadership of the alliance.Kharge stated that all INDIA parties unanimously decided how to take the alliance forward. At least 8-10 meetings will be held together across the country.INDIA bloc also passed the resolution on Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and the suspension of MPs from Parliament."INDIA parties reiterate that there are many doubts on the integrity of the functioning of the EVMs. These have been raised by many experts and professionals as well. There is widespread demand for a return to the ballot paper system," the resolution stated. It suggested that "Instead of the VVPAT slip falling in the box, it should be handed over to the voter who shall then place it in a separate ballot box after having verified his or her choice. 100 per cent counting of VVPAT slips should then be done.Henceforth, the key challenge before the INDIA parties is to fight the BJP unitedly in the 2024 Lok Sabha election on an alternative common programme to counter the ruling dispensation.The INDIA alliance, marked by a spectrum of opinions from the Left's and J-K parties' dissatisfaction to Shiv Sena's vocal support for the ruling, must reconcile these differences to formulate a cohesive stance. This unified stance is crucial to effectively counter the BJP's attempt to introduce another divisive issue to polarize voters in the heartland. How BJP gearing up for 2024 Lok Sabha Polls As the battle for 2024 begins, the BJP undeniably maintains the upper hand. After securing victories in three crucial Hindi heartland states--Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh it being said that that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has strengthened its position to face the INDIA bloc in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.The Congress party was in power in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh and was a major contender in Madhya Pradesh and Telangana. However, it only secured victory in the southern state, taking power from the dominant Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).After which, Congress will now be in power in three states--Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana. The 3-1 scoreline in this round of assembly elections is a comforting signal for the BJP's poll prospects next year.The party had crafted its campaign around the PM, his welfare interventions and larger credibility.During the recently concluded Assembly polls, PM Modi stood as the pivotal figure for the BJP, dispelling any concern about 'sidelining' party stalwarts.The PM's resonance with the electorate, along with the "Modi ki guarantee" slogan, won over Congress's manifesto.By messaging and strategy, the BJP effectively communicates the mantra of 'sabka saath, sabka vishwas, and sabka prayaas', emphasising Modi's inclusive governance approach.The ruling party is going all out to capture the hearts of people for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. On December 22, the party headquarters hosted a meeting of BJP leaders from across the nation.The Bharatiya Janata Party has set a target of achieving a 50 per cent vote share. Along with this, the party will start cluster meetings after January 15 and Yuva Morcha will hold 5000 conferences across the country.The two-day meeting of BJP national office-bearers concluded on Saturday. In this meeting, BJP has set a target of achieving a 50 per cent vote share in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Along with this, the party will run a campaign across the country to connect with new voters. The BJP will organise programmes at booth level to connect with new voters.According to sources, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has asked all the officials in the meeting to ensure a bumper victory margin in the Lok Sabha elections.Cluster meetings will be organized by dividing Lok Sabhas across the country into clusters. In these clusters, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and BJP President JP Nadda will address public meetings.Yuva Morcha will start new voter conferences on January 24. The BJP Yuva Morcha will organise 5,000 conferences across the country. Along with this, social conferences will also be organised across the country.It was said in the meeting that party leaders should not wait for the announcement of the list of candidates. Every BJP leader must now gear up to ensure victory by a record margin in the 2024 Lok Sabha electionsIt is expected that the BJP will begin an extensive campaign for the elections that are not even six months away.As the BJP government aims to transform India into a developed nation by the year 2047, the BJP has begun the Viksit Bharat campaign, named Viksit Bharat@2047 The outcomes have strengthened Modi's role as the triumphant figurehead for the party. Despite Congress's efforts to buck the anti-incumbency trend, Modi's guarantees and the BJP's persistent emphasis on highlighting Congress's shortcomings thwarted their endeavours. The safety-first stance of the opposition parties stems from the BJP's assembly wins, which it plans to build upon with the upcoming inauguration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, raising concerns that the insertion of the Jammu and Kashmir issue into the debate will further help the BJP paint the opposition as pandering to the "vote-bank".It is expected that the BJP, in its campaign, will highlight the Ram Temple that will be inaugurated in Ayodhya on January 22, 2024, just a few months ahead of the national elections. Along with this, BJP has decided to run a campaign for Ram Mandir celebrations starting January 1, in which BJP workers will go door to door in all the villages across the country and encourage ten crore families to participate in Diya Lightning programs for Ram Temple in Ayodhya.The BJP is likely to highlight its success stories over its two terms at the Centre, including, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, the Pardhan Mantri Awas Yojna, Digital India, the success of Chandrayaan 3 and various other schemes that have benefited the citizens.With these victories in the three states, the BJP, along with its allies, now controls 17 states. The evolving political narrative in India will play a crucial role in influencing the upcoming elections, necessitating careful scrutiny.Earlier in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the NDA won 353 seats, the UPA stood at 91, and Others won 98. The voting was staggered in seven phases between April 11 and May 19, in which around 67 per cent of the nearly 900 million eligible people exercised their franchise to elect 542 members of the Lok Sabha.The 2024 Lok Sabha elections will be held next year that is likely to be between the Modi government's NDA alliance and the INDIA bloc.

A former WWE star made her return to the promotion after being absent for over a year. The star in question is Serena Deeb. The 37-year-old star was on a hiatus after she had suffered a knee injury.

While speaking on The Flagship, Serena revealed that Cody Rhodes always told her to be a coach and respected her. "I want to give a shout out to Cody Rhodes because Cody always believed in me and would say to me, ‘You’re my coach, I want you as my coach.’ He always put me in that role for him and showed me that respect. That was really, really huge for me, and I really appreciated that. When I’m not wrestling, I do want to be coaching but I’ve been doing more wrestling. When they have me on AEW Elevation or AEW Dark, they don’t give me producing roles because everyone on there has been a wrestler and they understand that if you have a match, it’s too much to also be coaching or producing," Serena said. The 37-year-old star was last time seen in October 2022 when she defeated Haley J on an episode of AEW Dark: Elevation. Who do you think will be her first opponent following her return to Jacksonville-based promotion? Let us know in the comments section below. A former WWE star was upset about his release.
