The Las Vegas Grand Prix was meant to be spectacular and it did not disappoint. Looking at the finishing order, with Charles second behind Max Verstappen and ahead of Sergio Perez, and Carlos in sixth, one could be forgiven for thinking it had been a race like any other this year. However, between the walls on the Strip, Scuderia Ferrari was a true front runner to the point that there can even be a bit of disappointment at the final result, as Leclerc had a genuine possibility of taking the win. Carlos too could have finished higher up the order if he had not been caught up in the chaos on the opening lap, which saw him spin and have to fight his way up the order from the back of the pack. However, overall this was a positive day as the SF-23 proved to be competitive, just as expected, resulting in Ferrari making up 16 of the 20 points by which it trailed Mercedes coming into this weekend in its fight for second in the Constructors’ championship. In a few days time, it will be all to play for in Abu Dhabi.
The race. The Grand Prix was an adrenalin rush from start to finish, with excitement right from the start, when Max Verstappen ran Charles off the track at turn 1 to take the lead and Carlos spun at the same corner. On lap 2, the Safety Car came out after Lando Norris crashed and, given they had both slipped down the order, Sergio Perez and Carlos pitted, switching from Medium to Hard tyres. Verstappen was handed a 5 second penalty, but Charles didn’t wait and with his SF-23 on-song, he retook the lead on track with a great passing move at turn 14. He then pitted on lap 21 for Hard tyres and, at this point, he was the virtual leader given that the only driver ahead of him were Perez, who with Hard tyres fitted on lap 2, would therefore have to make a further stop, and Lance Stroll, yet to pit. The Monegasque had Verstappen under control, the Dutchman having changed tyres five laps earlier. However, on lap 26 the Safety Car reappeared while debris was cleared away following a collision between Verstappen and George Russell. Having only just changed tyres, Charles stayed out on track and went into the lead, but the neutralisation meant both Red Bull drivers were able to stop losing far less time. Therefore, at the restart, Perez and Verstappen were able to push without paying too much attention to tyre management, while Leclerc was on older Hards. Carlos also benefited, fitting a new set of Hards and going on the attack.
Thrilling finish. Leclerc began to experience graining earlier than his two rivals and Verstappen was able to get by on lap 36, but Charles gritted his teeth and kept fighting, matching the Dutchman’s pace so that the gap never got bigger than 2.5 seconds and he was also able to fend off Perez’s attempts to pass. Then on lap 43 it seemed that second place was lost as Charles outbraked himself at turn 14 as he tried to defend from the Mexican, who managed to get ahead. But once again, Leclerc dug deep and caught Perez when he too started to suffer with graining. For the final three laps, the pair put on a thrilling show as they fought it out and on the final lap, Charles got ahead with a breath-taking move at turn 14 to secure a very well deserved second place. Carlos was also very aggressive in the closing stages, passing Pierre Gasly and Russell, the latter having a five second penalty added to his race time for the collision with Verstappen. Today’s sixth place puts the Spaniard back in fourth spot in the Drivers’ championship. The definitive championship standings will be decided in one week’s time at the final round of the 2023 season. | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/formula1/articles/las-vegas-grand-prix-2023-race-report | 2024-01-01T05:39:30Z |

Deebo Samuel, 49ers Players Had So Much Fun Watching Eagles Lose to Cardinals
Fresh off a 27–10 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 17, the San Francisco 49ers found something more gleeful to celebrate: Their conference rivals’ downfall.
On Sunday, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and a few other 49ers players shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes moment with San Francisco Chronicle columnist Michael Silver at the Philadelphia Eagles’ expense. After taking care of business against Washington, the 49ers gathered outside the locker room around Silver, who was live-streaming a clip of the Arizona Cardinals scoring against the Eagles on his phone.
Kyler Murray and the Cardinals had fought their way back from a 15-point deficit in the first half and entered the Eagles’ red zone with the chance for a go-ahead touchdown.
With less than a minute to go in the fourth, running back James Conner ran in for what would be the game-winning score, and the 49ers team celebrated like he was one of their own.

— Tracy Sandler (@TracyFGSN) December 31, 2023
Samuel could be heard giddily screaming “Let’s go!” and linebacker Fred Warner later entered the frame visibly shocked at the Cards’ 35–31 upset over the Eagles.
With the Eagles’ loss, San Francisco clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The 49ers didn’t escape Week 17 completely unscathed, as star running back Christian McCaffrey injured his calf and had to leave the game early.
Still, it’s a good feeling to be at the top. The 49ers will face the Los Angeles Rams next week for their last game of the regular season, one that holds more consequences for L.A. than it does for the top-seeded San Francisco.

The rupee started the new year on a flat note and depreciated 3 paise to 83.19 against the US dollar in the morning session, amid a negative trend in domestic equities and dollar demand from importers.
Forex traders said the rupee is trading in a narrow range as the support from easing crude oil prices was negated by the strength of the American currency in the overseas market.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 83.18 against the dollar, then fell to 83.19, registering a fall of 3 paise over its previous close.
In the initial trade, the rupee also touched an early high of 83.15 against the US dollar.
On Friday, the rupee appreciated 4 paise to settle at 83.16 against the US dollar on the last trading day of 2023.
At the start of the new year, the dollar index was stable at 101.38, and Brent oil was at USD 77.07 per barrel. Asian currencies are also very stable with Yuan at 7.1253, IDR at 15,390, KRW at 1,294.53, said Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director at Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP.
"Rupee is likely to remain stable within a range of 83.10 to 83.35 as US dollar buying at lower-end matches the in-flows and keeps the rupee stable within a range. As the FX reserves touch the USD 620 billion mark, RBI's presence on both sides of the market keeps the rupee stable," Bhansali added.
The forex reserves continued to rise for the third consecutive week, adding USD 4.471 billion more in the week ending December 22, taking the total to USD 620.441 billion, according to the weekly data released by the Reserve Bank on Friday.
In the previous reporting week, the kitty had swollen by USD 9.112 billion to USD 615.971 billion, making the quantum of increase one of the highest in a week. In the week before, the overall reserves had risen by USD 2.816 billion to USD 606.859 billion.
Oil prices
Meanwhile, Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, was trading lower by 0.14 per cent to USD 77.04 per barrel.
The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading 0.10 per cent higher at 101.33.
Domestic Indices
In the domestic equity market, the 30-share BSE Sensex was trading 74.33 points or 0.10 per cent lower at 72,165.93 points. The broader NSE Nifty fell 4.85 points or 0.02 per cent to 21,726.55 points.

Taiwan and China will 'surely be reunified' says Xi in New Year's Eve address
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, in his annual New Year's Eve address, reiterated his claim that Taiwan would "surely be reunified" with China.
His message comes ahead of Taiwan's crucial 13 January elections that will determine the island's cross-strait policy for the next four years.
He also struck a stronger tone than last year's message, where he spoke of Taiwan being part of the "same family".
China has ramped up military pressure on Taiwan ahead of the elections.
It sees the self-ruled island of 23 million as a breakaway province that will eventually be under Beijing's control. Taiwan considers itself distinct from the Chinese mainland, with its own constitution and democratically elected leaders.
Separately, Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen said in her New Year's address that the island's relations with China must be decided by the "will of the Taiwanese people". Her government has repeatedly warned that Beijing is trying to interfere in the election, where a new president and government will be chosen.
Taiwan's Kuomintang party (KMT) has traditionally favoured warmer ties with Beijing - though it denies being pro-China. The KMT's main rival, Ms Tsai's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), has ruled Taiwan for the past eight years and takes a stronger line towards China - insisting it is sovereign and not a part of China.
Mr Xi's latest comments are in line with China's long-standing policy towards unification, but the message struck a more strident tone than the one Mr Xi gave last year, where he called "people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait... members of one and the same family".
The issue of Taiwan has also strained relations between the US and China, with the latter condemning any perceived support from Washington for Taipei. Beijing has said that it "reserves the option of taking all necessary measures" against outside forces that interfere with peaceful unification.
But both countries marked the new year with a positive message, with Mr Xi and US President Joe Biden exchanging congratulatory messages on Monday.
Mr Xi noted that "adhering to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation is the correct way for China and the United States to interact", according to Reuters, which cited Chinese state media outlet CCTV.
China and Taiwan: The basics
Why do China and Taiwan have poor relations? China sees the self-ruled island as a part of its territory and insists it should be unified with the mainland, by force if necessary. But Taiwan sees itself as distinct from the mainland
How is Taiwan governed? The island has its own constitution, democratically elected leaders, and about 300,000 active troops in its armed forces
Who recognises Taiwan? Only a few countries recognise Taiwan. Most recognise the Chinese government in Beijing instead. The US has no official ties with Taiwan but does have a law which requires it to provide the island with the means to defend itself | https://news.yahoo.com/taiwan-china-surely-reunified-says-050959787.html | 2024-01-01T05:39:34Z |

Beijing, Jan 1 Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday called on China and the United States to earnestly implement the important common understandings and outcomes reached by the two heads of state, and take concrete actions to promote a stable, healthy and sustainable development of China-U.S. relations.

For most of his 40-year career, Carlos Moreno, a scientist and business professor in Paris, worked in relative peace.
Many cities around the world adopted a concept he began developing in 2010. Called the 15-minute city, the idea is that everyday destinations, such as schools, shops and offices, should be within walking or cycling distance of home. . Nearly 100 mayors around the world adopted it as a way to help recover from the pandemic.
Those who embrace conspiracy theories arrived late, but suddenly.
An avalanche of rumors and distortions have pointed to Moreno's idea. Fueled in part by climate change deniers and supporters of the QAnon conspiracy theory, false claims have circulated online, at protests, and even at government hearings that 15-minute cities were precursors to “climate lockdowns.” —urban “penal camps” in which residents' movements would be monitored and heavily restricted.
Many directly attacked Moreno, 63 years old. The professor, who teaches at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, faced harassment online and via email. He was accused of being an agent of an invisible totalitarian world government. He was compared to criminals and dictators. And he started receiving death threats.
“I was no longer a researcher, I was Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler,” Moreno said. “I became, in one week, Public Enemy Number 1.”
For high-profile figures, misinformation and the hostility it can cause have been part of the job. But increasingly, even professors and researchers face intimidation from conspiracy theorists.
Many threats have been directed at scientists studying Covid-19. In a survey of 321 of those scientists who had given media interviews, Nature magazine found that 22 percent had received threats of physical or sexual violence and 15 percent had received death threats. Last year, an Austrian doctor who was a supporter of vaccines and a repeated target of threats committed suicide.
Moreno did not face harassment until conspiracy theorists mistakenly equated 15-minute cities with the idea of low-traffic neighborhoods in Britain. Efforts to adopt low-traffic areas, approved for trials last year in Oxford, have raised concerns about whether traffic-reducing measures could cause congestion to spill over into surrounding areas. But some focused on other elements of the plan, such as license plate monitoring cameras.
The result: a nightmare scenario in which residents would be confined to fenced open-air prisons in isolated areas. On February 18, when about 2,000 people protested in Oxford, some carried signs claiming that 15-minute cities would become “ghettos” created by the World Economic Forum as a form of “tyrannical control.”
Last year, the American Psychological Association suggested that universities create security offices to help professors filter threatening messages, clean up their personal information online and receive therapy.
“It is totally incredible that we can receive a death threat just for working as scientists,” Moreno said.

Gasoline hits lowest year-end price since 2020
Enjoy lower gasoline prices while you can.
At some point in the not-too-distant future, they will start to rise again and before peaking in the mid-to-late summer.
The national average price was $3.112 a gallon on Sunday (Dec. 31), down a half-cent from Saturday's $3.117. It was off 19.8% from the 2023 peak of $3.881 on September 18 and off 2.6% from a year ago's $3.195.
Related: Analyst makes a bold prediction for gasoline prices in 2024
The close for the year was up slightly from the low of $3.066 a gallon, reached on Dec. 18, American Automobile Association data show. It rose for four days to $3.129, along with crude oil prices, but resumed falling on Dec. 23.
The year-end close was off 5.3% from the 2021 close of $3.285 a gallon and the lowest year-end finish since 2000's $2.53 a gallon.
In 28 states, predominantly southern and midwestern, the average price was below $3 a gallon. Mississippi had the lowest state-wide average: $2.666 a gallon, with the lowest price recorded in Simpson County, southeast of Jackson, at $2.528.
The highest statewide average was California at $4.702, one of just three states with average prices topping $4. The other two are Hawaii ($4,678) and Washington ($4.13).
Seven California counties, all rural, had prices above $5. The most expensive was Mono County, located between Yosemite National Park and Nevada, at $5.763. The lowest price was in Yuba County: $4.25.
Gas prices are obviously tied to oil prices. As of Dec. 29, crude oil represented about 55% of AAA's national average.

West Texas Intermediate, the benchmark U.S. crude, was up 16.7% at its peak price of $93.68 per 42-gallon barrel on Sept. 27. The price has fallen 23.5% since and was down 10.7% for 2023.
The seasonal patterns for gasoline are due to refiners' substituting more expensive ingredients in the summer to minimize fires and the like. But economic conditions and global market play big roles.
Energy companies reaped big profits because of the big 2022 oil-price runup. But falling prices in 2023 hit their stocks. Chevron (CVX) - Get Free Report finished the year down 16.9%. The Energy Select Sector SPDR exchange-traded fund (XLE) - Get Free Report, which includes the most important energy companies, fell 4.2% for the year and 7% in the fourth quarter.

Brisbane International: Osaka shines brightly with a dominating victory over Tamara
By IANS | Published: January 1, 2024 10:18 AM2024-01-01T10:18:16+5:302024-01-01T10:20:08+5:30

Brisbane, Jan 1 Naomi Osaka has made an impressive return to win her first WTA Tour match after 517 days with a dazzling 6-3 7-6(9) victory against German Tamara Korpatsch at the Brisbane International, here on Monday.
After dominating the first-round match early, Osaka was forced to dig deep to secure a straight-sets win.
The former world No.1 squandered a 5-3 advantage in the second set and had to save two set points in a fiercely contested tiebreak, before eventually closing out the match in one hour and 48 minutes.
It is Osaka’s first match – and win – since having daughter Shai in July 2023.
“It feels really good to be back,” the four-time Grand Slam champion told an adoring crowd today at Pat Rafter Arena.
“I was super nervous, but I was really excited to be out there,” Osaka said.
A radiant Osaka savored the moment, taking selfies and signing autographs with her many fans before leaving the court.
“I feel like the last couple of years that I played, before you know I had my daughter, I didn’t return as much love as I was given, so I really feel what I want to do in this chapter,” Osaka explained.
“I just really appreciate people coming out and people knowing me and cheering for me, because there was a time where I was just a little kid trying to watch my role models play, so it feels really surreal sometimes to be playing on these courts.”
Osaka’s victory sets up a tantalising second-round showdown with another former world No.1, Czech Karolina Pliskova.
Pliskova is a three-time champion in Brisbane and has won 16 of her past 17 matches at the tournament. This includes a three-set semifinal victory against Osaka, where she saved a match point, during her title-winning run in 2020.

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

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

Handsome hunk Ibrahim Ali Khan, the son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, was seen partying hard with rumoured girlfriend Palak Tiwari on New Year's eve on Sunday. After the clock struck 12, the rumoured lovebirds even exited the venue in the same car, and while at it, they refrained from posing for the paparazzi.
In fact, Ibrahim, who was seated in the backseat of the car with Palak, was seen covering his face from the paparazzi. Palak too did not look at the cameras, and the two made sure to get their car out of the area as soon as possible.
They were accompanied by their other friends at the party.
Ibrahim and Palak sparked dating rumours back in January 2022, and at that time, it was the actress who was seen hiding her face while leaving a restaurant in the city post a dinner date with the Pataudi scion.
While Ibrahim never commented on his relationship status, Palak had said in an interview that they were just "good friends" and that she hid her face the first time because her mother Shweta Tiwari was not aware of her whereabouts.
In the past two years, Ibrahim and Palak have been spotted spending time together on multiple occasions, but they never posed for the paparazzi together or addressed their bond in public.
A few days ago, a video of the rumoured lovebirds hugging each other and indulging in some PDA had also gone viral.
On the work front, Palak marked her Bollywood debut in 2023 with Salman Khan's Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. As for Ibrahim, he worked as an assistant director in Karan Johar's directorial comeback, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani in 2023, starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. If reports are to be believed, the heartthrob has already signed the dotted lines for his acting debut titled Sarzameen, but the details have been kept under the wraps. | https://www.freepressjournal.in/entertainment/watch-ibrahim-ali-khan-hides-face-as-he-leaves-with-rumoured-gf-palak-tiwari-post-new-year-party-in-mumbai | 2024-01-01T05:39:48Z |

45 laps. Charles and Carlos started off on Soft tyres setting times of 1’19”283 and 1’19”449 respectively. After a few adjustments, Leclerc went back out on the same set of tyres to put in a lap in 1’19”246, while Sainz improved to 1’19”293. In the middle part of the session they both took on more fuel to run in race trim before going back to qualifying simulation on new Softs when the track had improved. They both encountered traffic on their first attempt, but while Charles, who did a total of 22 laps, was able to go again and post a not very meaningful 1’18”970, Carlos (23 laps) spun and flat-spotted his tyres in avoiding Lance Stroll who was on the racing line. | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/formula1/articles/mexico-city-grand-prix-2023-free-practice-3 | 2024-01-01T05:39:50Z |
Federer is the player who has impressed me the most, says Rafael Nadal

New Delhi, Jan 1 In a candid revelation, 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal opened up about the profound impact Roger Federer has had on his illustrious career, stating that watching the Swiss legend play has been more influential than his encounters with Novak Djokovic.
Nadal, who has faced Federer 40 times in their careers, with 24 of those clashes occurring in finals, expressed his admiration for the Swiss maestro. The Spanish tennis icon holds a commendable record against Federer, winning 24 of their battles while succumbing in 16. The last time they squared off in men's singles was in the 2019 Wimbledon semi-final, where Federer emerged victorious in a thrilling encounter.
The 37-year-old Nadal also shared the court with Federer in the latter's last competitive match in 2022 during the Laver Cup, partnering with the Swiss legend.
Speaking on his admiration for Federer, Nadal stated, "Since I have memory, he is the player who has impressed me the most, the one who has entertained me the most, the one who has moved me the most. Watching Federer play has moved me more than Djokovic, and in the end, tennis is about emotion; it’s the emotion that draws you to it,”as quoted by El Pais.
Currently participating in the Brisbane International, Nadal is gearing up for his first-round match against former US Open champion Dominic Thiem on January 2. Despite facing a loss in the men's doubles on December 31 while partnering with Marc Lopez against the Australian pair of Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson, Nadal remains focused on his singles campaign.
The Spanish maestro is eyeing a triumphant return to the Grand Slam stage later this year, as he prepares to compete in the Australian Open, scheduled to commence on January 14 at the iconic Rod Laver Arena.

It seems like numerology and angel numbers are everywhere these days. And while everyone is talking about them, they can still be a little confusing to grasp. Fortunately, we're here to help guide you through these popular beliefs! Angel numbers are a series of numbers that appear together, and keep showing up in someone's life in order to send a message. They are called angel numbers, or spiritual numbers, because many people believe that this is how angels communicate with individuals. And one example is angel number 7777.
So, what is the 7777 angel number? Within a set of numbers, like 7777, there are beliefs attributed to the sequences that give significance to certain aspects of a person's life (such as relationships, personal finance and more). According to numerology, this specific repeating number means that your guardian angels are helping you to get back on track.
The 7777 angel number meaning is related to trust, wisdom and perseverance. When this number keeps showing up in your life, there's plenty of significance associated with it.

7777 Angel Number Meaning Love
When it comes to love, angel number 7777 is a sign to vamp up the communication you have with your partner. Doing so will undoubtedly help to improve and strengthen your love life. While being vulnerable can feel, well... vulnerable, your guardian angels want you to know that you aren't alone and they're helping to guide you on the correct path. They want you to be happy and have your best interests at heart. Trust that and make the necessary changes in your love life to make that happen.
However, if you're in a relationship (or even a friendship) that is no longer serving your happiness, angel number 7777 could be a sign to get out. Initially, this could bring about hardships and raw emotions, but know that your angels are with you every step of the way and that making these decisions now will allow your future to flourish.

What Does 7777 Mean in Manifestation
The law of attraction states that positive thoughts bring about positive results. In applying that to life, it would mean that if you maintain a positive attitude and verbalize affirmations over your life, you'll receive amplified positivity back.
If you feel that you're lacking trust in your life, make it a point to actively show that you trust those closest to you. Verbally state that they have your trust when situations arise that call for it. In doing so, you'll not only find it easier to give your trust, but it will be easier for others to trust you.
Maybe you're at a point in your life where you're not loving the outcome of your decisions. While your guardian angels want you to know that they're supporting you, asking for wisdom may not be a bad idea. They want to help you get back on track and for you to feel that you're successful. Manifest wisdom into your life by asking for heightened wisdom throughout your day each morning when you wake up.

Sriharikota: India Began 2024 with PSLV rocket lifting off with XPoSat Sriharikota (Andhra Pradesh). On the first day of the calendar year 2024, India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-C58 (PSLV-C58) on Monday morning lifted off with the country's X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) with 10 other payloads.
The 44.4-metre tall PSLV-C58 rocket with a lift off mass of 260 ton carrying XPoSat and 10 other experimental payloads on its fourth stage blasted off from the first launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) here at 9.10 a.m. Slowly rising up towards the skies with a thick orange flame at its tail, the rocket gained speed with a sound resembling rolling thunder and went up and up leaving a thick plume while the people assembled at the viewing gallery clapped their hands with pride. Interestingly, this is the first space mission for ISRO on January 1 for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
Procedure after 21 minutes into flight of rocket
At about 21 minutes into its flight, the rocket will orbit XPoSat at an altitude of about 650 km. Subsequently, the rocket's fourth stage will be restarted twice to reduce the orbit into a 350 km circular orbit to maintain in 3-axis stabilised mode for Orbital Platform (OP) experiments.
The PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-3 (POEM-3) experiment will be executed, meeting the objective of 10 identified payloads, supplied by the ISRO and the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe), the Indian space agency said.
In its normal configuration, the PSLV is a four-stage/engine expendable rocket powered by solid and liquid fuels, alternatively, with six booster motors strapped onto the first stage to give higher thrust during the initial flight moments.
ISRO's five types of rockets
The ISRO has five types of PSLV rockets -- Standard, Core Alone, XL, DL, and QL. The major difference between them is the use of strap-on boosters which, in turn, largely depends on the weight of the satellites to be orbited.
The PSLV uses 6,4,2 solid rocket strap-on motors to augment the thrust provided by the first stage in PSLV-XL, QL & DL variants, respectively. However, strap-ons are not used in the core-alone version (PSLV-CA). The XPoSat is the first dedicated scientific satellite from the ISRO to carry out research in space-based polarisation measurements of X-ray emission from celestial sources. The satellite configuration is modified from the IMS-2 bus platform.
Three objectives of XPoSat
The configuration of the mainframe systems is derived based on the heritage of IRS satellites. It carries two payloads, namely POLIX (Polarimeter Instrument in X-rays) and XSPECT (X-ray Spectroscopy and Timing). The POLIX is realised by the Raman Research Institute and XSPECT is by the Space Astronomy Group of the U.R. Rao Satellite Centre (URSC).
According to the ISRO, the three objectives of XPoSat are: (a) To measure polarisation of X-rays in the energy band 8-30keV emanating from about 50 potential cosmic sources through Thomson Scattering by POLIX payload. (b) To carry out long-term spectral and temporal studies of cosmic X-ray sources in the energy band 0.8-15keV by XSPECT payload and (c) To carry out polarisation and spectroscopic measurements of X-ray emissions from cosmic sources by POLIX and XSPECT payloads, respectively, in the common energy band.
Passivation of PS4
After orbiting the XPoSat in 650km, the rocket's fourth stage -- PS4 stage -- will be lowered to 350km, about 9.6 deg orbit, by restarting it twice. The left-out propellant in the PS4 will be disposed of through the main engines as a precursor to enabling the safety of the PS4 stage in atmosphere re-entry experiments planned in future. The oxidiser will be let out first followed by fuel in a predetermined sequence of operations. The existing scheme of spent stage passivation by venting the tank pressure will also be active.
Post passivation of PS4, the control of the stage is transferred to the POEM Avionics, the ISRO added. The POEM is configured as a 3-axis stabilised orbital platform for conducting experiments to space qualify systems with novel ideas. The PS4 Stage Orbital Platform Electrical power requirements are catered by a Flexible Solar Panel in conjunction with 50Ah Li-Ion battery in battery tied configuration.
Navigation process
The orbital platform consists of avionic systems to take care of navigation, guidance, control and telecommands and Orbital Platform Attitude Control System to cater to control of the platform to test the payloads, the ISRO said. The 10 payloads are from TakeMe2Space, LBS Institute Technology for Women, K J Somaiya Institute of Technology, Inspecity Space Labs Private Ltd, Dhruva Space Private Ltd, Bellatrix Aerospace Private Ltd (two payloads) and three payloads from the ISRO. | https://www.freepressjournal.in/india/isro-launches-x-ray-polarimeter-satellite-from-first-launch-pad-sdsc-shar-sriharikota | 2024-01-01T05:39:54Z |

Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz were third and eleventh fastest today, based on their times in the second Friday session, the quickest of the two at the Hermanos Rodriguez circuit. However, it is difficult right now to have a clear picture of the pecking order in the field because the teams all seem to have run different programmes, as can be seen by some unusual results on the time sheets. In the first session, the Scuderia worked on optimising cooling of the various components, which is always very important in Mexico and then focussed on set-up in the afternoon. Both drivers also tested a prototype C4 tyre for possible use in 2024 alongside the three other compounds supplied here by Pirelli.
FP1. In the first session, both drivers ran the Hard and Soft as well as the prototype tyres, setting their best times on the softest compound, Charles in 1’20”297 completing 30 laps and 1’20”479 for Carlos who lost 15 minutes of track time with an hydraulic problem which the team fixed very quickly, so that he still did 23 laps and completed his planned programme.
FP2. Once again, the two drivers started off with the prototype tyres before moving on to the Medium and Soft, setting their best times on the latter, Leclerc in 1’18”952 and Sainz in 1’19”257. In the final third of the session they both took on a heavier fuel load and ran the Medium tyres. Charles did 33 laps, Carlos did 34.
Saturday. Tomorrow, qualifying starts at 15 local (23 CET) preceded by the third free practice session (11.30 local, 19.30 CET.) That will be particularly important to fine tune the set-up, on which there is still some work to do for both a flying lap and race configuration.
Charles Leclerc #16
It has been a positive day overall as we were able to test everything we wanted. We tried all the tyres available and worked a bit on the setup even if it’s clear that being only Friday there’s still some work to do for tomorrow’s qualifying and the race. We will analyse all the data we collected and will work to make a step forward.
Carlos Sainz #55
A busy Friday here in Mexico as working with the prototype tyres always mixes things up. Despite a minor setback in FP1 we managed to cover our main items on the run plan throughout the day.
There is still some work to do before qualifying so I’m looking forward to digging into our data tonight and jumping back in the car for FP3. The atmosphere today was, as always, amazing!

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

UP: In a dramatic turn of events, Professor RB Lal, Vice Chancellor of the Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHUATS), was arrested on Sunday on charges of the alleged murder attempt, said police. The arrest came amidst a tense situation on the university campus, where staff teachers have been protesting for months over unpaid salaries.
FIR lodged against professor
Diwakar Nath Tripathi, a former BJP leader, filed an FIR against Professor Lal at Naini police station. Tripathi had alleged that he was walking near Arail Dam Road with his friend Sarvendra Vikram Singh around 6:30 am on Sunday when Professor Lal, accompanied by two associates in a car, accosted him. According to the complainant, Professor Lal's companions opened fire at them, but he and his friend narrowly escaped.
Following the complaint, police swiftly reached the university guest house. Anticipating arrest, Lal reportedly locked himself in a room.
Teachers on strike over salary dispute
"A person named Diwakar Tripathi had filed a case of attempt to murder against him. The staff teachers of the university are not getting their salaries for several months and are on strike. In connection with the talks, the Vice Chancellor had called the employees to the guest house. Even before this, the police reached the guest house. As soon as the police got the information, RB Lal locked himself in a room and got it locked from outside. The police broke the lock, arrested him and sent him to jail," said the police.Further investigation is underway. | https://www.freepressjournal.in/india/up-crime-private-university-vc-arrested-for-alleged-attempt-to-murder-case | 2024-01-01T05:40:01Z |

Charles Leclerc arrived in the Mexico City paddock looking forward to fighting back after he was disqualified from the United States Grand Prix. “Unfortunately, the rules are the rules and now we are fully focussed on doing well here,” he said. “I got here on Tuesday and like every year I am happy to rediscover the passion and energy that the Mexican people have for Formula 1.”
Goals. Leclerc knows exactly how to make the most of the last few races of the season. “Above all, we must use them to improve for next year when we hope to be more competitive,” continued Charles. “Of course we are also having a good fight for second place in the Constructors’ and it would be nice if we could obtain that goal. I think if we can put it all together we can bring home a good points haul from Mexico City. We have seen recently that it’s been easier to get all the potential out of our car and that has allowed us to perform more consistently. In Austin we got a few things wrong, including on the strategy side and we suffered as a result of that, but I think we should be able to once again fight with our closest rivals here too.” Carlos Sainz was absent from the paddock today, as he was not feeling well this morning. However, he is expected to be fine and back at the track as usual tomorrow. | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/formula1/articles/mexico-city-grand-prix-2023-media-leclerc | 2024-01-01T05:40:03Z |
The Formula 1 World Championship now moves south from Texas to tackle the second part of the triple header in the Americas, the Mexico City Grand Prix at the circuit named after the Rodriguez brothers, Pedro and Ricardo, the local heroes who both raced for Scuderia Ferrari in the Sixties. The Scuderia arrives in Mexico off the back of a podium finish for Carlos Sainz, which allowed the team to close the gap slightly on Mercedes in the Constructors’ championship. The track has a long Formula 1 history, with 22 Grands Prix held here so far and it poses a unique challenge for teams and drivers.
Altitude. The peculiar characteristic of this track is the rarefied air, which is due to the fact it sits at 2,240 metres above sea-level, meaning that the cars run maximum downforce levels more usually seen at slow, twisty tracks like Monaco. However, the low air density produces less drag and that means the cars hit very high top speeds down the straights. It explains why this track witnessed the highest top speed – 372.5 km/h – ever recorded by a Formula 1 car. The second sector from turn 4 to 11 is toughest on tyres, being the twistiest with plenty of medium speed corners. The first sector is all about the power unit as it features two long straights, one of them on the start-finish straight. The third sector includes the atmospheric stadium section with four slow corners, as the drivers pass through the former baseball diamond surrounded by very high grandstands, packed with one of the noisiest crowds of the year. Two more tight right handers and the cars are back to the start of the next lap. There are three DRS zones.
Cooling. Cooling the car components is another challenge, also because of the altitude and it has to be taken into consideration for both the engine and the brakes. Last but not least, the forecast is for rather changeable weather in Mexico City this week, with varying temperatures and a chance of rain almost every day.
Frédéric Vasseur - Team Principal
We left Austin with a different result to the finishing order past the flag, which promoted Carlos to a place on the podium, actually well deserved given how he managed his race. It has also allowed us to claw back some points in our pursuit of second place in the Constructors’ classification.
However, in Mexico I want to see a more focussed team, as we cannot afford to get things wrong in how we assess the race evolution, as was the case in Austin. The altitude in Mexico makes for a unique race, as it influences various aspects of the car’s behaviour from pure performance to tyre management.
With this event running to the traditional weekend timetable, we will be able to carry out all the necessary evaluation work over the three free practice sessions and I believe we will come up with targeted strategies that will allow us to do our best in what, on paper, can be quite a complicated race. All of us, Carlos and Charles included, must be able to grab any opportunities that come our way.

Three questions to...
CARLO SANTI, RACE PERFORMANCE MANAGER
1. The Mexico City race takes place at high altitude and therefore the air is rarefied. How does this affect the car and its performance?
It mainly affects the choice of downforce level. Even though the car is run with maximum load, this actually delivers a level of downforce comparable to that used in Monza, in other words equivalent to a low downforce set-up in “normal” atmospheric pressure. The low atmospheric pressure also has a significant effect on the overall cooling of the car, as the rarefied air means its cooling efficiency is much lower than normal and so the cars run with the highest cooling configuration of the season.
2. What are the challenges of the Mexico City track?
The grip level is the lowest we encounter all season because of the aforementioned low level of downforce as well as the fact the track is used very little during the year. This is challenging for the drivers, because while trying to go as fast as possible, they have to drive very precisely, to avoid locking up the brakes or spinning the wheels when looking for traction, or sliding in the corners, which overheats the tyres and leads to a further loss of grip. As for the set-up, one aims to make the car easy to drive, going for options that favour predictable behaviour and instil confidence, even if this might be at the cost of pure performance. Therefore, to help Carlos and Charles, it’s probable they will be given, at least initially, a more forgiving car when it comes to balance.
3. And what about you? How did you join the Scuderia and what is the best thing about working here?
I always dreamed of working for Ferrari since I was a child, even if I took a rather tortuous route to get here. After getting my degree, I joined the FIAT Research Centre in Turin where I worked on vehicle dynamics for road cars. After five years, I finally got a job in motorsport, with a German company that was looking for a performance engineer on a prototype it was building to compete in WEC (World Endurance Championship) and ALMS (American Le Mans Series). After four years in Germany, when the programme ended, I got an offer from Ferrari to work on the driving simulator which was then being developed in the vehicle dynamics department. The best thing about it? The fact that, for better or worse, Ferrari is expected to win. It’s a mantra, but it’s also a very strong incentive to try and improve every day.

Mexico City Grand Prix: facts & figures
2. The billions of butterflies that migrate every year from Canada to Mexico and then back again. Usually, these beautiful multicoloured insects spend the months from November to March on the great high plains of Central America.
4.5. The volume in millions of cubic metres of the Cholula pyramid, the biggest in the world, far larger than those in Egypt. Mexico has far more pyramids than the North African country, with around 30 spread across the country, including the imposing ones at La Venta and Kukulkan, as well as the well preserved sites of Teotihuacan, Monte Alban, Tepozteco and Calakmul in the Yukatan region.
5+1. The Grands Prix this season named after a city rather than a country, in the order in which they appear on the calendar: Miami (United States), Mexico City (Mexico), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Las Vegas (United States) and Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates). Singapore is unusual in being a city state, therefore the name refers to both a city and a country.
8. Mexico City’s place in the rankings of the world’s highest capital cities. At 2,240 metres above sea level, the Central American metropolis sits behind Bolivia’s capital, La Paz, highest of all at 3,640 metres, then Quito (Ecuador, 2,850), Bogota (Colombia, 2,625), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia, 2,355), Thimphu (Bhutan, 2,334), Asmara (Eritrea, 2,325) and Sana’a (Yemen, 2,250). Mexico City was actually seventh on the list up until around 30 years ago, but it is gradually subsiding and has dropped 12 metres, thus putting it behind the Yemeni capital.
59. The number of varieties of corn found in Mexico and very colourful they are too. Apart from the most common shade of yellow, others are bright red, while one can also find varieties in blue, green and even white. However, they have all evolved from the same wild species, called teosinte. No other country in the world can claim to be more tied to corn, socially, economically and culturally, with it having been a staple of Mexican cooking for thousands of years. | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/formula1/articles/mexico-city-grand-prix-2023-preview | 2024-01-01T05:40:04Z |
Knicks Join Lakers With Interest in Hawks’ Dejounte Murray After OG Anunoby Trade, per Report
The New York Knicks opted not to wait until the calendar turned to the new year before making a high-profile trade. And from the sound of it, the deal to acquire OG Anunoby from the Toronto Raptors is unlikely to be the only move they make ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
The Knicks join the Los Angeles Lakers as the latest teams linked with potential trade interest in Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray, according to Hoops Hype’s Michael A. Scotto.
The Knicks will continue to be active on the trade market, league sources told HoopsHype. As previously reported by HoopsHype, the Knicks have been targeting Anunoby and Hawks guard Dejounte Murray. While losing Quickley seemingly hurts a potential trade package for Murray on paper, Murray remains a player the Knicks are interested in acquiring, league sources said.
This comes just days after the Lakers’ interest in Murray was highlighted by The Athletic’s Shams Charania on FanDuel’s Run It Back.
“One more player to keep an eye on I’m told, a potential target for the Lakers, Hawks guard Dejounte Murray,” Charania stated.

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

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The police in Indore, took action against miscreants who were causing disturbances after drinking alcohol and engaging in drunk driving during the New Year's festivities on Sunday. 185 drivers were arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
Police personnel erected roadblocks to conduct checks because the Vijay Nagar region of the city has a large concentration of hotels, restaurants, and pubs.
Breath analyzers were used to prosecute individuals who drove while intoxicated.
Drones were also utilised by the police to keep an eye on anyone who might cause trouble in the neighbourhood by acting erratically.
"We have established checkpoints in order to avert any unfortunate accidents,” ACP Sonakshi Saxena stated that 185 people had been charged with driving under the influence.
She claimed that there is rigorous enforcement of the times for hotels, pubs, restaurants, and party locations.
"Drones are being used for surveillance, and breath analyzers are being employed to check individuals engaging in drink and drive," she stated.

Mumbai, Sep 26 Actress Sumbul Touqeer Khan, who became a household name with her stint in reality show 'Bigg Boss', is coming back as a lead in Sony TV's show 'Kavya-Ek Jazbaa, Ek Junoon', and she feels that the television industry has many big stars but less good actors.
The wait of Sumbul's fans is finally over as her show went on on air on Monday in which she can be seen playing the role of an IAS officer.
The promos of the show have got a great response from everyone.
In an exclusive conversation, she spoke about the show, similarities between her and Kavya, and her working experience with Mishkat.
Talking about her working experience with Mishkat, she said, "When you get a supportive co-star, your work gets better as an actor. Mishat has been very supportive till now. I often feel our industry has many big stars but very few good actors and he is among one of the best actors I have worked with.
"Talking about the similarity between her and Kavya, she said, "Kavya is very different from me. She is way more intelligent and mature than I am. Yes but we do have something in common too and that is our passion for our work. Kavya is very ambitious and I have also been very ambitious about my work and career."
Sony Entertainment Television's show 'Kavya' features Sumbul and Mishkat Varma in titular roles.
Revolving around the life of a strong female character, this narrative will highlight Kavya's journey whose purpose is to serve the nation while also emphasising on the value of family.

A 14-year-old boy with a failing kidney is seeking a donor
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) -- A Tennessee family is sending an urgent message seeking help for their 14-year-old son.
The teen known for a positive spirit has only one kidney and is looking for a donor because it is slowing and failing.
While the search continues, his family made sure this holiday season was one he will remember.
“We’re good. We’re good. We’re good. Still 13 and 13,” said 14-year-old Noah Garcia.
His new place is a grand Christmas gift.
His father Eli and mother Melissa Garcia of have just converted a space in the garage into a room for Noah.
“OK. We’re good. I have a big TV and a football field on one of my walls, which I’m excited about,” Noah said.
“I told him when he goes to school, I’m going to be in there hanging out,” Eli Garcia said. “He’s really good at video games. I used to be the champ, but not anymore.”
“Very true,” Noah said.
“I kind of let them win, to be honest with you,” Eli Garcia said.
“He claims he’s the best, but it’s not true,” Noah said.
“He’s a really good kid. I always feel bad for him because of what he’s had to go through,” Eli Garcia said.
Noah’s struggles began before he was born.
“He had something wrong with his kidney. He had hydronephrosis,” Melissa Garcia said.
Before kindergarten, one of his kidneys was removed, and his problems continued.
“He’s only got one kidney that barely works,” Eli Garcia said.
“It’s not functioning all the way, and it’s at 15%, and it’s slowly failing, so,” Noah said.
“He’s on the transplant list right now,” Eli Garcia said.
“I’m not a match. My husband can’t be a donor, and his siblings can’t be donor,” Melissa Garcia said.
“Blood type is B or O,” Noah said.
“We just need somebody who is willing to see if they could be a match,” Melissa Garcia said.
“Sometimes I forget that he’s just a 14-year-old little boy. Sometimes because of the surgeries, I’ve seen him, he’s had to go through. It’s tough. No parent wants to see their kids go through that,” Eli Garcia said.
But during the tough Christmas season, the family’s been there for Noah all the way.
They’re doing social media pushes on Instagram at Kidney for Noah Jack.
And his room, this Christmas present, was built so that after surgery Noah wouldn’t have to go up and down stairs for a while.
It’s a powerful gift as Noah waits for another gift.
“The whole family is supportive of Noah. We are there for each other,” Melissa Garcia said.
You can visit Kidney for Noah Jack on Instagram if you would like to help in the family’s search.

Ninety-six years after their first big-screen appearance, two of the most iconic and recognizable characters in the world are sailing straight into the public domain.
It marks the first time the characters of Mickey and Minnie Mouse can freely be used by artists, writers, and filmmakers in their artwork, books, or films without the fear of legal action from The Walt Disney Company.
"This is the juggernaut. This is it. This is Mickey Mouse," said Duke University School of Law Professor Jennifer Jenkins.
But just to be clear, it's not the modern Mickey we know today with his bright red pants and cartoonish voice—it's the mischievous, voiceless, and black-and-white boat captain from "Steamboat Willie."
The short film debuted in 1928 as a technical marvel—the first cartoon to feature synchronized sound. But today, the eight-minute animation is remembered more as the work that catapulted the career of Walt Disney, introduced the world to Disney's longest-running mascots, and helped change copyright law as we know it.
"I kind of feel like the pipe on the steamboat, like expelling smoke," said Jenkins. "It's so exciting that it's finally here. I mean, when I started my job, as a joke, I had a 'Free the Mouse' bumper sticker."
"Steamboat Willie" was originally supposed to enter the public domain in 1984, when the film turned 56, and again in 2004, when the film turned 75. But as Disney became the entertainment powerhouse it still is today, the company lobbied the U.S. government to pass two copyright protection acts to extend its exclusive ownership over the character.
Critics referred to this as the "Mickey Mouse Protection Act," but that comes to an end this year.
"It's exhilarating. But I've been feeling this exhilarating feeling since 2019, because that's the first time after a 20-year drought that any published work at all entered the public domain in the United States," said Jenkins.
The extended copyright terms didn't just stop Mickey and Minnie Mouse from entering the public domain. It also stopped any work of fiction from losing its copyright from 1999 to 2019. That included books like "The Great Gatsby," which entered the public domain in 2021, and A.A. Milne's original "Winnie-the-Pooh," which joined the public the next year.
The characters have since been adapted into graphic novels, video games, a Broadway musical, and a horror movie. All of that could likely soon happen to "Steamboat Willie," but that doesn't mean there's no legal risk at all, as Disney can still claim copyright over later iterations of its characters, including the iconic Sorcerer Mickey from the 1940 film "Fantasia."
A spokesperson from The Walt Disney Company noted: "More modern versions of Mickey will remain unaffected by the expiration of the Steamboat Willie copyright, and Mickey will continue to play a leading role as a global ambassador for the Walt Disney Company in our storytelling, theme park attractions, and merchandise."
Beyond copyright, the House of Mouse also holds a trademark on its famous character, meaning only The Walt Disney Company can use Mickey as its logo and corporate mascot.
That means you can't pretend to be The Walt Disney Company by using the Mickey Mouse branding. But if you want to write your own version of "Steamboat Willie," feel free to go full steam ahead.

Missouri Rewards Coach Eli Drinkwitz With Contract Extension After Breakout Season
Missouri Tigers head coach Eli Drinkwitz signed a new contract extension that will keep him with the program through the 2028 season, the university announced on Sunday.
Drinkwitz’s extension comes after he led the program to its first 11-win season since 2014 which included a huge 14–3 win against No. 7 Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl on Friday in Arlington, Texas. When Drinkwitz was named Missouri’s head coach ahead of the ’20 season, he signed a contract with the program through ’25.
“You can’t do this alone, and our players, coaches and staff have worked their tails off and stuck with the process as we’ve built this program,” Drinkwitz said in a statement. “We feel strongly about our trajectory and are proud to represent our state's flagship institution.”
The SEC Coach of the Year surpassed expectations at Missouri this season after winning no more than six games through his first three seasons with the Tigers. He has recorded a 28–21 record in four seasons at Missouri.
The Tigers have also earned four consecutive bowl game appearances in Drinkwitz’s tenure. However, Friday’s victory marked his first win in a bowl game during his tenure at Missouri.
Earlier this month, Drinkwitz also secured a top 25 recruiting class for the third time in four years.

Is a succession certificate or other legal documents needed even if there is only one legal heir succeeding the deceased member? Can the nominee act upon the power of attorney given to him by the deceased? Can a provisional member create a third-party right and let out the flat if he is the sole legal heir of the deceased? What if there are more than one legal heirs?
HN Swami, Chembur
Nomination is a facility to identify a point of contact in the event of death of the member. It is a settled position that the nominee holds the property in trust for the benefit of the ultimate legal heir. A person ceases to be a member on death. However, the interest, right and title pass to his legal heir/s in accordance with the procedure mentioned in the MCS Act, rules and bye laws. Legal heirs have to make an application for seeking membership. Any power of attorney given to the nominee shall be infructuous on the death of the principal and will not be operative. Provisional member is a person who is duly admitted as a member of a society temporarily after death of a member on the basis of nomination till the admission of legal heir or heir as the member of the society in place of the deceased member.
Nominee is holding in trust of the ultimate legal heir and as such though he is admitted as a provisional member, he does not have any right to create third party rights. The MCS Act provides certain rights to the provisional member to attend the meeting, to vote thereat and to contest the election but since his membership is of a temporary nature with an objective to be a contact person till such time the legal heir of the deceased files his membership application in accordance with any testamentary document like will, or legal heirship certificate of succession certificate or any family arrangement document as mentioned in the 2019 amendment to the MCS Act. Provisional members may thus not be able to create any third party right nor put the said flat on rent. Going by the definition of the provisional member, legal heirs have to obtain the succession certificate or heirship certificate and that there would be no exception for a sole legal heir.
I filed a complaint before the registrar that was decided in my favour. The registrar ordered the society to give me a copy of the minutes of the meetings of the general body held in the previous three financial years. The order was given to the secretary for implementation, but till date it has not been implemented. How can I get the order executed?
Chintan Sabharwal, Khar
Section 154B-27 of the MCS Act, casts an obligation on the society to take the action for performance of its obligations, including execution of the orders issued by the state government or the registrar. If such orders are not executed, you may file an application with the registrar to have his order executed.
Can a dispute filed in the cooperative court be settled through mediation in accordance with the newly -enacted Mediation Act?
Purabi Biswas, Powai
As regards the Mediation Act, the rules under it are yet to be notified. However you may avail of the mediation facility through the MCS Act. Section 93 (3) of the MCS Act provides that in case the cooperative court feels that there exist elements of settlement that may be acceptable to the parties, it may formulate the terms of settlement and give them to the parties. The court may affect compromise between the parties and shall follow the Civil Procedure Mediation Rules.

SYDNEY - New Zealand said on Monday (Jan 1) all its dairy products were now able to enter China duty-free as safeguard duties on milk powder ended on Dec 31, marking the removal of all remaining tariffs agreed upon in the free trade deal between the two countries.
New Zealand was the first developed country to sign a free trade agreement with China in 2008, with the imports of milk powder subjected to the longest phase-out. An upgraded trade deal was entered when former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern met President Xi Jinping in 2022.
"This is good news for our dairy sector. The removal of these remaining tariffs is expected to deliver additional annual tariff savings of approximately NZ$350 million (S$292 million)," Trade Minister Todd McClay said in a statement.
"The (free trade agreement) continues to deliver benefit to the New Zealand economy and to underpin the New Zealand-China trade relationship."
China is New Zealand's largest trading partner, with two-way trade exceeding NZ$37 billion in 2021. Annual dairy exports to China have averaged 1.4 million tonnes, worth about NZ$8 billion each year over the past three years, around half of which was milk powder, official data showed.
Safeguard duties are emergency tariffs that countries use to shield domestic industries against intense competition from a sudden surge in imports of a particular product.
The so-called special agricultural safeguards mechanism in the free trade deal was designed as a temporary measure. The tariff preferences are applied up to a designated volume and China's standard tariff applied to imports above the safeguard trigger.
Safeguards duties on milk and cream, butter, and cheese ended in 2021, while those on milk powders ended on Dec 31, 2023.

What Do We Do Now" is the fifth solo studio LP recorded by J Mascis since 1996. This is obviously not a very aggressive release schedule, but when you figure in the live albums, guest spots, and records done with his various other bands (Dinosaur Jr., The Fog, Heavy Blanket, Witch, Sweet Apple, and so on), well, to paraphrase Lou Reed, “J’s week beats your year.” "What Do We Do Now" began to come together during the waning days of the Pandemic.
Utilizing his own Bisquiteen Studio, J started working on writing a series of tunes on acoustic with a different dynamic than the stuff he creates for Dino. “When I’m writing for the band,” he says, “I’m always trying to think of doing things Lou and Murph would fit into. For myself, I’m thinking more about what I can do with just an acoustic guitar, even for the leads.
Of course, this time, I added full drums and electric leads, although the rhythm parts are still all acoustic. Usually, I try to do the solo stuff more simply so I can play it by myself, but I really wanted to add the drums. Once that started, everything else just fell into place. So it ended up sounding a lot more like a band record. I dunno why I did that exactly, but it’s just what happened.”

Scuderia Ferrari locked out the front row of the grid for the Mexico City Grand Prix which gets underway tomorrow at 14.00 local time (21 CET) at the Hermanos Rodriguez Circuit. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz each put in an incredible lap on their first run in Q3, setting times that were out of reach of the rest of the field. The Scuderia has previous form for this in Mexico, also locking out the front row back in 2019 with Charles and Sebastian Vettel and this is Ferrari’s 248th pole, its 69th one-two in qualifying. For Leclerc this is his second pole in a row, his 22nd, which puts him one behind Niki Lauda in the Scuderia’s record books. Carlos has also taken two in a row this year in Monza and Singapore. There could not be a better way for Leclerc to start what will be his 100th Grand Prix with Ferrari.
Qualifying. Both drivers got through Q1 on Medium tyres, while in Q2, Carlos had a few worrying moments, getting through to the final phase in ninth spot having encountered traffic on his second run. Both of them then got to Q3 in great shape as they each had two sets of new Softs. Charles and Carlos went out as soon as the session started and got their tyres in the perfect operating window, posting times of 1’17”166 and 1’17”233 respectively. No one was able to go quicker on the second runs, to ensure that this was the Scuderia’s best Saturday of the season.
The race. Tyre management will again be an extremely important factor in tomorrow’s race. Over the three free practice sessions the SF-23’s behaviour on all three compounds was assessed and now the team is preparing for all possible scenarios. It’s a long 71 lap race but the Scuderia starts it from the two best places on the grid.
Charles Leclerc #16
I did not expect to take pole position today. After FP3, it seemed as though we were on the back foot but once we put it all together in Q3, it went well.
I'm already focusing on the race though, because we want to convert this pole into a win. Our pace has been good so far here this weekend, so let's see what we can do tomorrow.
Carlos Sainz #55
It was quite a strange qualifying session today, but a mega result for the team! It hasn’t been the cleanest of weekends for us but in Q3 we managed to put everything together and consolidate a front row lockout for the race. Traffic nearly put me out in Q2, but the lap in Q3 felt good and this is a fantastic boost for everyone in the team, especially during this long triple-header.
We need to stay focused, as tomorrow won’t be an easy race. Temperatures and tyre management will be key for us. However, we are in the best possible position to try to keep everybody behind. Let’s race!
Frédéric Vasseur - Team Principal
After FP3 I was convinced we could do well, but maybe not this well! Performance this afternoon was mainly driven by the tyres because there was the risk that if you pushed too hard at the start of the lap, you would have killed the tyres at the front or the rear towards the end of the lap. We managed things very well during Q1 and Q2 and we had the advantage of having two new sets of Softs for Q3 for both Charles and Carlos and the first flying laps proved to be the best.
Of course we will enjoy today’s result but we must not get carried away and we are already focused on how we can convert this performance to the best possible result tomorrow as we saw the field is very tight. It’s a very long run to turn 1 and the slipstream here is an important factor, but we still prefer to start from the front row. Having both drivers there separated by six hundredths shows the team is doing a good job. | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/formula1/articles/mexico-city-grand-prix-2023-qualifying-report | 2024-01-01T05:40:16Z |

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

Batting stalwart David Warner on Monday announced his retirement from ODI cricket alongside the end of his Test career here this week but will be continue to play T20 cricket for Australia.
The 37-year-old swashbuckling opener, however, kept the door open for himself to be available for the 2025 Champions Trophy if the Australian team needs him.
Ahead of his swansong Test at his hometown venue SCG, Warner revealed that Australia's World Cup final victory over India in November was his last match in the 50-over format.
"I'm definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well. That was something that I had said through the (50-over) World Cup (in India in 2023), get through that, and winning it in India, I think that's a massive achievement," he said at a press conference at the SCG on Monday.
David Warner open to returning in the 2025 Champions Trophy:
"So I'll make that decision today, to retire from those forms, which does allow me to go and play some other leagues around the world and sort of get the one-day team moving forward a little bit," said an emotional Warner.
"I know there's a Champions Trophy coming up. If I'm playing decent cricket in two years' time and I'm around and they need someone, I'm going to be available."
Considered as one of Australia's and world's most destructive batters in recent times, Warner ended his one-day career as a two-time world champion after finishing the 2023 World Cup in India as his team's leading run scorer.
The left-handed opener made his ODI debut in 2009 in a match against South Africa in Hobart. Since then, he has played 161 ODIs, scoring 6932 runs at an average of 45.30 with the help of 22 hundreds and 33 fifties.
He is Australia's sixth-highest run-scorer in men's ODIs and second on the hundreds list behind Ricky Ponting who played 205 more ODI innings than Warner.
In the 111 Tests he has played so far, Warner has scored 8695 runs at an average of 44.58 with 26 hundreds and 36 fifties.
He will continue to be available for Australia in T20 cricket and is hopeful of featuring in their World Cup campaign in that format in June in the Caribbean and USA.
After the ODI World Cup in India, Warner had hinted at pushing on until 2027 although he will have been 41 by then. He said that the way the team had rebounded in India made it the ideal finishing point.
Warner holds an IPL contract with the Delhi Capitals and he could be one of the most sought after cricketers on the domestic T20 circuit.
"I definitely am keen to pursue playing Big Bash next year" - David Warner
"I definitely am keen to pursue playing Big Bash next year. There's going to be conversations behind the scenes to allow me to do that," he said.
"Obviously I've joined the Fox commentary team next year during the Test series against India, which I'm looking forward to. There's a BBL window that we're able to play, and then quite clearly there has been a lot of talk about the ILT20 which will be starting, I'm pretty sure, after the BBL."
Warner has been appointed the new captain of International League T20 (ILT20) franchise Dubai Capitals for the upcoming 2024 season. | https://www.freepressjournal.in/sports/australian-opener-david-warner-confirms-odi-retirement-with-immediate-effect-ahead-of-his-test-farewell | 2024-01-01T05:40:19Z |

(NewsNation) — Vermont’s honeybee colonies have hit an all-time high in 2023, reaching 17,145, according to the latest data from the Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets.
This marks a significant 43% increase since 2016, making it the largest number of colonies ever registered with the state.
The agency, responsible for regulating the honeybee industry, mandates registration for all beekeepers, encompassing both commercial and backyard apiaries. Beekeepers are essential contributors to this success, as their dedication is reflected in the flourishing industry.
Nationally, beekeepers lost 48.2% of their managed colonies in 2023, according to the Bee Informed organization, marking the second-highest loss rate on record.
The USDA Forest Service reports a decline of over 80% in some wild bee populations, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive studies on pollinators.
Despite the positive trend, the agency has been vigilant in managing threats to the bee population, Vermont Public reported. Collaboration with beekeepers to combat dangerous parasites and diseases has been a key focus. Notably, cases of American foulbrood, an extremely contagious disease, dropped to zero in 2023 from 49 reported cases in 2020.
However, Varroa mites remain a significant concern, with over 120 beekeepers reporting an infestation in 2023. This pest, along with other factors such as weather, starvation, and bears, contributes to winter colony losses, which increased slightly from 25% in 2021 to almost 29% in 2022.
Approximately 90% of individual beekeepers registered with the state manage 20 colonies or less, while just over 3% oversee commercial operations with 100 colonies or more. | https://www.newsnationnow.com/climate/vermont-bee-count-record-high-2023/ | 2024-01-01T05:40:24Z |
Few individuals did more to shape modern cinema than the actor, director and producer Charlie Chaplin. One of the greatest of all comic mimes he also pioneered cinematic techniques and story-telling. His films, with his iconic role as the beleaguered little tramp with baggy trousers, moustache, cane and bowler hat, were not only comic masterpieces, but unflinching looks at poverty, unemployment, capitalist exploitation, the callousness of authority, the search for meaning and dignity in a hostile world and the yearning for love and acceptance. He argued that drama should be derived from the close observation of life. He refused to follow the conventions, including the penchant for exaggerated melodrama, perfecting his work with hundreds of takes, subtle acting and nuanced facial expressions. He created full length feature films with highly crafted plots and characters. He strove, he said, “to put across the philosophical doubt I feel about things and people.” His films, he said, were a metaphysical excercise, an attempt to unmask as “absurd, antiquated, and unfair to humanity” the idea that there exists “a cosmos where humans were held responsible for their actions or the results of their actions.” The French filmmaker Jean Luc Goddard wrote of Chaplin that “while remaining marginal to the rest of cinema” he “ended up filling this margin with more things (what other word can one use: ideas, gags, intelligence, honor, beauty, movement?) than all directors together have put in a whole book.” Chaplin, the most famous silent film star of his era, swiftly earned the enmity of J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI who saw in his poignant portrayals of the marginalized and forgotten political subversion. The FBI, which began investigating Chaplin in 1922 and would amass an FBI file of 1,900 pages on him for his alleged “communist sympathies,” finally drove him into exile. In 1952, while Chaplin was in London for the premier of his film Limelight, the U.S. Attorney General revoked Chaplin’s re-entry permit. This ended his Hollywood career. He would spend the rest of his life in Switzerland. Joining me to discuss the importance and legacy of Charlie Chaplin is the film director, screenwriter and producer Martin Brest. Martin has directed numerous films some of which include Midnight Run with Robert De Niro, for which he won a Golden Globe Nomination for Best Motion Picture, Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino, for which he won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture, with Pacino winning for Best Actor along with the blockbuster Beverly Hills Cop, nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture and the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

A 14-year-old boy with a failing kidney is seeking a donor
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) -- A Tennessee family is sending an urgent message seeking help for their 14-year-old son.
The teen known for a positive spirit has only one kidney and is looking for a donor because it is slowing and failing.
While the search continues, his family made sure this holiday season was one he will remember.
“We’re good. We’re good. We’re good. Still 13 and 13,” said 14-year-old Noah Garcia.
His new place is a grand Christmas gift.
His father Eli and mother Melissa Garcia of have just converted a space in the garage into a room for Noah.
“OK. We’re good. I have a big TV and a football field on one of my walls, which I’m excited about,” Noah said.
“I told him when he goes to school, I’m going to be in there hanging out,” Eli Garcia said. “He’s really good at video games. I used to be the champ, but not anymore.”
“Very true,” Noah said.
“I kind of let them win, to be honest with you,” Eli Garcia said.
“He claims he’s the best, but it’s not true,” Noah said.
“He’s a really good kid. I always feel bad for him because of what he’s had to go through,” Eli Garcia said.
Noah’s struggles began before he was born.
“He had something wrong with his kidney. He had hydronephrosis,” Melissa Garcia said.
Before kindergarten, one of his kidneys was removed, and his problems continued.
“He’s only got one kidney that barely works,” Eli Garcia said.
“It’s not functioning all the way, and it’s at 15%, and it’s slowly failing, so,” Noah said.
“He’s on the transplant list right now,” Eli Garcia said.
“I’m not a match. My husband can’t be a donor, and his siblings can’t be donor,” Melissa Garcia said.
“Blood type is B or O,” Noah said.
“We just need somebody who is willing to see if they could be a match,” Melissa Garcia said.
“Sometimes I forget that he’s just a 14-year-old little boy. Sometimes because of the surgeries, I’ve seen him, he’s had to go through. It’s tough. No parent wants to see their kids go through that,” Eli Garcia said.
But during the tough Christmas season, the family’s been there for Noah all the way.
They’re doing social media pushes on Instagram at Kidney for Noah Jack.
And his room, this Christmas present, was built so that after surgery Noah wouldn’t have to go up and down stairs for a while.
It’s a powerful gift as Noah waits for another gift.
“The whole family is supportive of Noah. We are there for each other,” Melissa Garcia said.

Scuderia Ferrari finished third and fourth in the Mexico City Grand Prix at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Charles Leclerc secured the 28th podium finish of his career, with Carlos Sainz finishing behind him, the Spaniard thus moving up to fourth place in the Drivers’ classification, equal on points with Fernando Alonso, but ahead of his fellow countryman by virtue of his Singapore win. The gap to Mercedes remains the same in the Constructors’ standings at 22 points, while Charles’ podium was the 805th for the Maranello marque, coming in a race that could have ended badly for the Monegasque, as he was involved in a collision with Sergio Perez shortly after the start.
The race. The start was chaotic and on the long run down to the first corner, the slipstream effect worked against the Ferrari duo who towed the two Red Bulls along with them. The four cars arrived at the first corner together, Carlos slowed to avoid a collision, while Charles was sandwiched by the two rival cars and he and Perez made contact, with the Mexican flying off the track before retiring in the pits. Charles’ SF-23 sustained damage to the left front wing end plate, which fell off after a short while. Although this lost him a bit of downforce, he was still able to run second ahead of Carlos. The Spaniard was undercut by Hamilton, dropping to fourth after pitting for Hard tyres. Charles kept station until his own pit stop. Not long after, the race was red flagged following a crash for Kevin Magnussen and, at the restart, Leclerc had to give best to Hamilton who had fitted Medium tyres, while Charles was on Hards, but he still managed to finish on the podium in third place. As for Carlos, he fought tooth and nail in the first few laps after the restart, fending off George Russell, also on the Medium tyre, the Spaniard claiming fourth place in the race and in the championship standings.
One more leg of the American triple-header. Tomorrow, the team leaves Mexico and heads for Brazil which hosts the Sao Paulo Grand Prix next Sunday at the Interlagos circuit. It is the third from last race of the season and brings the curtain down on this trio of races in the Americas.
Charles Leclerc #16
It was a tricky one. I was caught between the two Red Bulls at the start and unfortunately Checo (Perez) and I touched, which led to me picking up some damage on the car and to Checo retiring.
Later on, we struggled a bit on the Hards after the restart. Lewis (Hamilton) was really strong on the Mediums and had very little degradation, getting ahead of us.
It’s not where we wanted to finish, but we maximised our result.
Carlos Sainz #55
It was a long and tough race today, having to manage tyres and temperatures constantly. Looking at the pace today I think the result is the maximum we could have achieved.
Both the starts were quite chaotic, but we kept it together and stuck with our preferred strategy of doing one stop, which we had opted for before the red flag. In the end we scored some good points for the team and now we focus on the upcoming Sao Paulo race with the Sprint format.
Frédéric Vasseur - Team Principal
When you start on the front row, a P3 and a P4 finish is not the result you aim for, but, given how the race was run, I think we almost did the best we could with our car today. We knew the start would be tricky because of the long run to the first corner, in which the slipstream can have a big effect and for sure our start today was not ideal.
In the first stint we were on the pace, but then, like many others, we struggled at the restart with the Hard tyre. And this is what cost Charles the position to Lewis, who was on Mediums, but for us it would have been really on the limit to get to the end on that tyre, if we had taken the opportunity to fit it again when the race was stopped.
We need to keep working to reduce the performance difference between our qualifying and race pace, given that, especially on the Hards, we struggled too much compared to our rivals who were able to manage the tyres better than us. | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/formula1/articles/mexico-city-grand-prix-2023-race-report | 2024-01-01T05:40:24Z |
46 amazing pictures of life in Coventry and Warwickshire 50 years ago
It's been 50 years since 1974
The coming year marks half a century since 1974 - and the world has changed a lot. The 70s were pivotal in creating the culture we live in today with growing recognition of women’s and gay rights and music that continues to have a huge influence on today’s artists.
Slade’s Merry Xmas Everybody had dominated the charts in the run up to Christmas 1973, staying at number one for five weeks and earning a spot as one of the UK’s favourite Christmas songs for the next 50 years.
Later in January Mud’s Tiger Feet was released, holding the top spot for four weeks and getting 1974 off to a fun and energetic start.
But tough times were ahead. 1974 was the year of the Three-Day week, two general elections were held and a state of emergency was declared in Northern Ireland. There was extensive IRA bombing on the UK mainland, including in Coventry, and several large companies collapsed.
We’ve taken a look in our archives at what Coventry and Warwickshire looked like in 1974. Take a look at the pictures in our gallery below.

Taylor Swift Seemed to be Wearing Travis Kelce’s Chiefs Jacket Upon Arrival at Sunday’s Game vs. Bengals
Taylor Swift is back in a familiar place on Sunday—Arrowhead Stadium.
The pop star is once again attending one of Travis Kelce’s games and it’s a big one, with the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Cincinnati Bengals in a matchup that has plenty of playoff implications in a crowded AFC postseason race.
Swift arrived shortly before kickoff and she seemed to be wearing Kelce’s Chiefs jacket, or at least it’s the same one as he wore to the team’s Christmas Day game last week against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Here she is making her entrance:

Former Indian opening batter Gautam Gambhir believes India-Pakistan rivalry is no longer the most enticing rivalry in the sport, given how the Men in Blue have dominated the arch-rivals in recent times. Instead, Gambhir reckons the rivalry between India and Australia has taken its place and is optimistic that all fans think alike.
Due to the political tensions between India and Pakistan, the two nations haven't played in a bilateral series since 2012-13. While they have faced off in the ICC events and Asia Cup, the contests have mostly been lopsided in India's favour. Pakistan's only World Cup win over India also came during the 2021 T20 World Cup in Dubai.
Speaking on a show on Hotstar, Gambhir reckons Pakistan's victory over India in any format in the current era is a massive upset.
"Pakistan has dominated India a lot of times. Currently, if you see the level of both teams, India is far superior to Pakistan in all three formats. If Pakistan defeats India it's an upset, if India defeats Pakistan, it's very much given. India and Australia, from a cricketing point of view, is a top rivalry. If you ask a cricket fan what is the actual rivalry, they will also say India and Australia." | https://www.freepressjournal.in/sports/if-pakistan-defeats-india-its-an-upset-if-india-defeats-pakistan-its-very-much-given-gautam-gambhir | 2024-01-01T05:40:25Z |

3 of the biggest Emmerdale spoilers in the New Year from shooting guilt to horror drive
Emmerdale looks set to be dramatic as the New Year gets underway in the wake of Chloe Harris' father's death.
Emmerdale: Harry revealed as Chloe's dad
Emmerdale viewers were rocked when Charity Dingle (played by Emma Atkins) shot Chloe Harris' (Jessie Elland) father after he kidnapped Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) and tied him up in a warehouse.
Midway through the ordeal, Chloe decided to help Mack escape from her dad's Damon 'Harry' Harris (Robert Beck) grip.
Chloe's dad raised his gun and told Chloe to move out of the way, but Charity launched at him and before long they were fighting for the gun.
During the wrestle, the gun went off and it soon became clear Charity had pulled the trigger.
Express.co.uk has shared some major spoilers for the New Year in the wake of Damon's death.
Charity's riddled with guilt
In upcoming scenes, DS Jones confirms Damon's death has been ruled accidental.
While Mack is relieved, Charity is really struggling to come to terms with the ordeal, knowing she is responsible for his death.
She tries to hide it from Mack and her loved ones - but will it all get too difficult for her in scenes yet to air?

Joyride turns to misery
In scenes yet to air, Cathy Hope (Gabrielle Dowling), Angelica King (Rebecca Bakes) and Heath Hope (Sebastian Dowling) take a joy ride in Wendy Taylor's (Susan Cookson) car.
Angelica and Heath start flirting in the car and encourage Cathy to speed up.
Bob starts panicking when he realises Wendy's car is missing and he soon finds out about Cathy and Heath taking the vehicle.
Meanwhile, Heath becomes impatient as Cathy continues to speed up, but a near miss with another car does not affect her resoluteness as she puts her foot down.
Family torn apart over affair
Caleb Milligan (Will Ash) and Tracy Metcalfe's (Amy Walsh) affair was exposed by Moira Barton (Natalie J Robb) on the ITV soap over the festive period.
Will Tracy come clean to her husband Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter) about the affair, or will she beg Moira to keep it a secret?
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV and ITVX. | https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1849281/3-big-emmerdale-spoilers-charity-dingle-shoot-joyride | 2024-01-01T05:40:30Z |
A woman died and five other people were hospitalized after a shooting at a strip mall in Hawthorne, California, early Sunday morning.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the shooting was first reported to the Hawthorne Police Department just before 12:30 a.m. in the 3100 block of Rosecrans Avenue.
First responders located multiple gunshot victims at the scene. They were taken to nearby hospitals in varying conditions, including one woman who was in grave condition.
She later succumbed to her injuries, LASD said.
It is believed that additional victims may have transported themselves to a hospital.
“When officers arrived, they found a victim suffering from gunshot wounds,” said LASD Lieutenant Art Spencer. “They later learned there were also multiple victims who had been transported to various local hospitals that also suffered gunshot wounds.”
Just before 8 a.m. Sunday, officials said that a total of six people were shot. LASD confirmed that one of them is in critical condition while the other four surviving victims are in stable condition.
Footage obtained by KTLA shows officers cordoning off and canvassing part of nearby Memorial Hospital and searching a car that was apparently abandoned.
Evidence markers were scattered throughout the strip mall parking lot centered around a tow truck.
Witnesses said they heard nine to ten gunshots. One man told KTLA 5’s Annie Rose Ramos that he initially thought the gunfire was fireworks celebrating New Year’s Eve.
He also said the location where the shooting took place is a known “hang out spot” for teens and young adults.
Family members of possible victims rushed to the scene to look for their loved ones, including one woman who said her cousins were in the parking lot where the shooting occurred, but their car was not there when she arrived.
The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau is conducting the investigation. Detectives were seen going from business to business searching for evidence.
No suspect description has been released.
Anyone with information regarding the shooting is asked to contact the LASD Homicide Bureau by calling 323-890-5500.
To provide information anonymously, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or visit their website. | https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/1-dead-5-wounded-after-strip-mall-shooting-in-california/ | 2024-01-01T05:40:30Z |

At the Fiorano track today, Oliver Bearman drove a Formula 1 car for the very first time. The Ferrari Driver Academy student completed more than 400 kilometres at the wheel of the car raced two seasons ago, the SF21, as part of his preparation for when he drives the Ferrari-powered Haas VF-23 in the first free practice session for the Mexico City Grand Prix.
Unforgettable feeling. Oliver turned up bright and early at the track for the pre-test briefing to go through the day’s programme. Top of the agenda was completing the 300 kilometres required in order to get behind the wheel at an official round of the world championship, while also doing laps simulating qualifying and race conditions. Bearman immediately delivered precise feedback to the engineers, with a mature approach belying the fact he only turned 18 in May. Oliver’s parents were on hand to witness the event and Oliver admitted that there had been a few nerves. “If you think I wasn’t excited, you’d be mistaken,” he said. “I can’t deny that last night I struggled to get to sleep. I don’t think I’ll ever forget this day, with my parents on hand and I’m told my mother got quite excited when I drove out of the garage in the Ferrari.”
Amazing grip. Commenting on the technical aspects of the day, Oliver had this to say: “the engineers guided me step by step for the first few laps, then as I gained confidence in the car I started to really enjoy it. I was prepared for the enormous amount of power on hand, as I had already driven a Formula 1 car on the simulator. But what really surprised me was the level of grip, which is harder to feel sitting in the sim and it’s crazy when compared to the amount you have with the Formula 2 car I’m racing at the moment. The other surprising thing is the level of downforce on these cars, it’s just incredible. Thank you to the Scuderia for making me feel part of the group right away and everyone at Ferrari who made this unforgettable day possible.
Young and fast. Born in 2005 in Chelmsford, UK, this is Oliver’s second year with the Ferrari Driver Academy, which he joined after winning the 2021 FDA Scouting World Finals, when he outshone the rest of a talented bunch from around the word. That same year, he made a name for himself when he won the Italian and German Formula 4 championships with no fewer than 17 wins (11 in Italy, six in Germany). In 2022, he raced in Formula 3 with the Prema team, finishing third in the championship with one win. He made his Formula 2 debut this year, again with Prema, and with just one round remaining in Abu Dhabi, he currently has four wins, the second highest number of any driver in the series, with three of those victories coming in the Feature Race. Oliver is currently sixth in the standings and after driving the Haas VF-23 in Mexico, he will once again tackle a free practice session with the team in Abu Dhabi, where he will have a busy weekend with Formula 2 also on his timetable.

Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh): Scores of devotees thronged to offer prayers at Mahakaleshwar temple situated in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain district on the occasion of the new year on Monday.
They also participated in the first Bhasma Aarti of the year performed here in the temple on the occasion and took blessings of Baba Mahakal (Lord Shiva). According to religious beliefs, the wishes of the devotee who participates in the Bhasma aarti of Baba Mahakal are fulfilled.
'Bhasma aarti' (offering with ashes) is a famous ritual here. It is performed during the 'Brahma Muhurta' between around 3:30 and 5:30 in the morning. On the occasion of New Year, Baba Mahakal was decorated and Maha Aarti was also performed.
Priest of the temple Ashish Pujari said, "According to tradition, the doors of Baba Mahakal were opened in the Brahma Muhurta and after that a holy bath of Lord Mahakal was performed with Panchamrit, which include milk, curd, ghee, sugar and honey. Thereafter sandalwood, fragrant liquids were offered to Baba Mahakal and decorated with hemp." Later on, Baba was covered with a cloth and Bhasma Aatri was performed along with beating drums and blowing conch shells. A large number of devotees from various regions visited here and sought the blessing of Lord Mahakal on the occasion, he added. | https://www.freepressjournal.in/ujjain/mp-first-bhasma-aarti-of-new-year-performed-at-mahakaleshwar-temple-in-ujjain-devotees-throng-to-offer-prayers-watch | 2024-01-01T05:40:31Z |

The New Year is a time when many of us will set resolutions but sticking to them and seeing them through is easier said than done. But Coventry University psychology expert Dr Rachael Molitor has shared her top tips on how to make sure that 2024 is the year you can officially tick them off your list successfully
A key route to success is sticking to it, but there is a science behind this. Dr Molitor has said that it takes 21 days to create a habit, 66 days before you can do it automatically without thinking, and 90 days for it to be ingrained within your lifestyle.
The expert has said that other ways to ensure you can smash your 2024 goals is to:
- Choose a realistic and achievable goal
- Ensure it’s a positive plan
- Rewarding yourself as you go along
- Remembering a setback is not the end of the road
READ MORE: Details of 2,400 new homes, shops and school at massive Coventry development
There are five key steps to help you 'SMASH' your goals, and they are the following:
Set Foundations
"Before you start with a resolution, goal or action, it’s important you set the foundation of what you actually want to achieve. Preparing for the action both psychologically and mentally sets the foundation for success," Dr Molitor said.
"Choose important, realistic and achievable goals, making small and specific changes within your everyday life. Choosing a positive over a negative resolution will help to make those manageable steps to a positive mindset.
"Consider the potential pathways to achieving your goal and anything that could hold you back. By understanding the potential risks and challenges to achieving your goals, you can plan how you will overcome these."
Making plans
Dr Molitor said that a practical and realistic strategy will make your behaviour change possible. Research shows that setting goals increases the success of achieving in both the short and long term.
As such, using SMART goals is a great way to measure your goal and see success; Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-based.
"So instead of ‘I’m going to go to get fitter’ try ‘at least three times a week I will set my alarm 30 minutes early and get up and do a fitness video before I start my day’," the expert said.
"Many resolutions may start too large, such as ‘I’m going do a fitness video every day’, if something then gets in your way and prevents you from doing it for one single day it may feel like a failure and less likely to continue onwards. Positive plans are also important here, instead of ‘I’m going to stop smoking’, try ‘I’m going to be smoke-free’.
"We all have slip-ups in our habit formation, but looking at a positive mindset helps us to continue on the behaviour even if we have small setbacks."
Activate and engage
Now plans are in place, you need to put your resolution into practice. This can be done by exchanging any negative behaviours for positive, also known as counter-conditioning.
"If you want to watch TV instead of going to the gym, put it on to record and watch it afterwards as a reward," Dr Molitor said.
"Rewarding yourself for small changes makes a huge difference and means you are more likely to achieve what you set out to do. Write down one positive thing you’ve achieved each day that you can look back on and see how much you have already changed."
Step forwards
The expert said that life is no different to a game of snakes and ladders - with ups and downs - but looking forwards in the face of any setbacks is key. "There may be times where we take four steps forwards and one step back, but all in all we’re still three steps further forward than when we started," she explained.
"Looking at the positive steps you’ve already made will help to show how far you have come. Breaking your goals up into easy-to-manage, small but successful steps, known as sub-goals, will allow us to feel the benefits of achieving them.
"Remember all of us have setbacks, but it’s how we deal with these, stepping forwards when we can and take a breather when you need to."
Habit formation
She explained that it takes three weeks to form a habit, so it is key to remember this when you find it hard after the first weekend or when someone tells you how long you have left. "Resolutions are not just for New Year; they are long-term and should become automatic within your everyday life. This is why it is so important to choose a resolution that is achievable, manageable and beneficial for you to continue," she said.
"Once this new habit is formed, it’s important to continue practising your behaviours and keep a focus on the benefits of that behaviour change. Think about how fitter you have become by doing that exercise, how much clearer your mind is after practising yoga, how much healthier you feel after going smoke-free - seeing the practical changes in yourself will help to sustain that healthy change."

Kimberlee Singler: US woman accused of killing two of her children arrested in UK
Kimberlee Singler was named in an arrest warrant on Saturday after two children were found dead at a home in Palomino Ranch Point on 19 December.
Monday 1 January 2024 04:58, UK
A US woman accused of killing two of her children before disappearing has been arrested in the UK, according to police.
Kimberlee Singler was taken into custody without incident, Colorado Springs police said on Sunday.
In a statement, reported by Sky News' sister organisation NBC News, police said: "Detectives with the Colorado Springs Police Department's homicide unit continue to work closely with multiple law enforcement agencies in pursuing the ongoing investigation."
The 35-year-old was named in an arrest warrant on Saturday, alleging she committed murder, attempted murder, child abuse and assault.
On 19 December, police had responded to a 911 call about a burglary at a home in Palomino Ranch Point, Colorado.
A nine-year-old girl and a seven-year-old boy were found dead at the scene.
Singler and her 11-year-old daughter were taken to hospital.
Investigations determined the initial burglary report was "unfounded" and a warrant for Singler's arrest was issued on Tuesday.
Police said she had last been seen on 23 December.
Singler and her estranged husband had been involved in a years-long divorce case. | https://news.sky.com/story/kimberlee-singler-us-woman-accused-of-killing-two-of-her-children-arrested-in-uk-13040215 | 2024-01-01T05:40:35Z |
Les McCann, a jazz titan best known for his performance with musical partner Eddie Harris of the protest song "Compared to What," has died at age 88, his manager said Sunday.
Cause and manner of death were unavailable, but manager Alan Abrahams said the piano player and singer died Friday at a Los Angeles-area hospital after developing pneumonia roughly one week ago.
McCann was an architect of the soul-jazz sound, helped jazz connect with the counterculture's protest music and provided a wellspring of material for sample-crazed hip-hop stars, including Notorious B.I.G., Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth, Warren G., Slick Rick, Dr. Dre and A Tribe Called Quest.
"He brought something from the Black church to jazz," said Abrahams, a prolific producer of gospel albums.

BANGKOK — (AP) — A survey of factory managers in China shows that manufacturing contracted in December in the latest sign the world’s No. 2 economy remains sluggish.
The official purchasing managers index, or PMI, fell to 49 last month in what officials said was evidence of weak demand, the National Bureau of Statistics reported on Sunday. It was the third straight month of contraction. The PMI is on a scale up to 100 where 50 marks the cutoff between expansion and contraction.
The index has fallen in eight of the past nine months, with an increase only in September. In November, the index was at 49.4, down from 49.5 the month before.
Despite unexpectedly prolonged weakness after the pandemic, China's economy grew at a 5.2% pace in the first three quarters of the year and showed signs of improvement in November, with factory output and retail sales rising.
In recent months, the government has raised spending on construction of ports and other infrastructure, cut interest rates and eased curbs on home-buying to try to stimulate the domestic demand that economists say is needed to sustain growth.
In his New Year speech, leader Xi Jinping said China had achieved a “smooth transition” from the country's response to the pandemic, which at times involved the shut downs of factories and parts of or entire cities.
China's economy has become “more resilient and dynamic than before,” Xi said in remarks carried by the official Xinhua News Agency.
Global demand for manufactured goods has suffered as central banks around the world have raised interest rates to battle decades-high rates of inflation. Price pressures have eased in recent months, but demand has yet to rebound to prepandemic levels. That has ramifications across the region since supply chains linked to China are scattered across many Asian countries.
China's non-manufacturing PMI rose in December to 50.4, the statistics bureau reported. The service sector PMI sub-index was 49.3, however, unchanged from November's reading.
Despite a slump in the housing market brought about by a crackdown on excess borrowing by property developers, the construction industry is thriving: the sub-index for that sector climbed to 56.9 in December, well into expansionary territory, from 55 in November, the report said.

A 14-year-old boy with a failing kidney is seeking a donor
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) -- A Tennessee family is sending an urgent message seeking help for their 14-year-old son.
The teen known for a positive spirit has only one kidney and is looking for a donor because it is slowing and failing.
While the search continues, his family made sure this holiday season was one he will remember.
“We’re good. We’re good. We’re good. Still 13 and 13,” said 14-year-old Noah Garcia.
His new place is a grand Christmas gift.
His father Eli and mother Melissa Garcia of have just converted a space in the garage into a room for Noah.
“OK. We’re good. I have a big TV and a football field on one of my walls, which I’m excited about,” Noah said.
“I told him when he goes to school, I’m going to be in there hanging out,” Eli Garcia said. “He’s really good at video games. I used to be the champ, but not anymore.”
“Very true,” Noah said.
“I kind of let them win, to be honest with you,” Eli Garcia said.
“He claims he’s the best, but it’s not true,” Noah said.
“He’s a really good kid. I always feel bad for him because of what he’s had to go through,” Eli Garcia said.
Noah’s struggles began before he was born.
“He had something wrong with his kidney. He had hydronephrosis,” Melissa Garcia said.
Before kindergarten, one of his kidneys was removed, and his problems continued.
“He’s only got one kidney that barely works,” Eli Garcia said.
“It’s not functioning all the way, and it’s at 15%, and it’s slowly failing, so,” Noah said.
“He’s on the transplant list right now,” Eli Garcia said.
“I’m not a match. My husband can’t be a donor, and his siblings can’t be donor,” Melissa Garcia said.
“Blood type is B or O,” Noah said.
“We just need somebody who is willing to see if they could be a match,” Melissa Garcia said.
“Sometimes I forget that he’s just a 14-year-old little boy. Sometimes because of the surgeries, I’ve seen him, he’s had to go through. It’s tough. No parent wants to see their kids go through that,” Eli Garcia said.
But during the tough Christmas season, the family’s been there for Noah all the way.
They’re doing social media pushes on Instagram at Kidney for Noah Jack.
And his room, this Christmas present, was built so that after surgery Noah wouldn’t have to go up and down stairs for a while.
It’s a powerful gift as Noah waits for another gift.
“The whole family is supportive of Noah. We are there for each other,” Melissa Garcia said.
You can visit Kidney for Noah Jack on Instagram if you would like to help in the family’s search.

Actor Ian Ziering, best known for his role in “Beverly Hills 90210,” appears to have been caught on camera in a fight with a group of people riding motorized mini bikes in Hollywood on New Years Eve, according to a report from TMZ.
Officers responded to the area of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue at around 3 p.m. on reports of a fight that broke out after the group of bikers were driving recklessly in the area, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to KTLA.
It is unclear what exactly prompted the brawl between Ziering and the bikers, but video posted by the tabloid outlet shows the actor pushing one of the mini-bike riders, who was right in front of what seems to be his SUV just before an all out fight broke out.
The 59-year-old “Sharknado” star is then immediately ganged up on by several of the other bikers. In an attempt to get away, Ziering makes a dash across busy Hollywood Boulevard, dragging his attackers along with him.
When he gets to the other side of the street, the footage shows him fighting back as he gets walloped by one of the bikers, eventually breaking free and running away on the sidewalk.
TMZ reported that both the bikers and Ziering left the scene with their vehicles.
It’s unknown if anyone involved in the violent scuffle was seriously injured. Police told KTLA that the incident remains under investigation. | https://www.newsnationnow.com/entertainment-news/actor-ian-ziering-takes-beating-from-mini-bikers-in-hollywood/ | 2024-01-01T05:40:36Z |

Man Utd and Liverpool come up trumps in five of the best January transfers in history
Manchester United and Liverpool have been successful in the January transfer market in the past.
Seven Man Utd transfers Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants answers for as trio set for January exits
Manchester United and Liverpool could both delve into the transfer market in January as they look to bolster their squads for the second half of the season. The Premier League giants, who played out a goalless draw at Anfield earlier this month, have both been prolific in the January transfer window in years gone by. And Express Sport takes a look at five of the best January transfers in history, including Liverpool’s capture of Virgil van Dijk and United’s signing of Bruno Fernandes.
Virgil van Dijk
Perhaps the greatest piece of January transfer business came in 2018 when Liverpool snapped up Van Dijk from Southampton in a £75million deal. The fee was the biggest in history for a defender at the time but ended up being an absolute bargain as the Netherlands international proved to be a catalyst for the Reds’ success under Jurgen Klopp.
Van Dijk starred after moving to Anfield as he kept opposition strikers at bay. And the centre-back helped Liverpool win the Champions League and Club World Cup in 2019 ahead of their first Premier League title in 2020. The 32-year-old was also instrumental as his side won the League Cup and FA Cup double in 2022.
Luis Suarez
Liverpool have form when it comes to picking gems in the winter. And their acquisition of Luis Suarez under Sir Kenny Daglish in January 2011 for less than £23m proved to be another stroke of genius, with the Uruguayan going on to bang in 82 goals in 133 appearances for the Merseysiders.
During the 2013/14 campaign, Suarez was virtually unplayable as he bagged 31 goals and 17 assists in the Premier League as the Reds came within two points of clinching the title. The striker then went on to win the Champions League after signing for Barcelona.
Nemanja Vidic
Sir Alex Ferguson got his hands on the perfect defensive enforcer at the start of 2006 when he prised Nemanja Vidic away from Spartak Moscow for around £7m. The Serbian took to the Premier League like duck to water as he went toe-to-toe with a string of top strikers and came out on top more often than not.
Vidic is one of the greatest centre-backs to ever grace English football and won five Premier League titles, the Champions League, the Club World Cup and three League Cups during his time at Old Trafford.

Bruno Fernandes
Bruno Fernades was another player who joined United during the January transfer window after the club stumped up an initial £47m to land him. The Portugal international moved to the north west from Sporting at the start of 2020 when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was at the helm and proceeded to rack up 12 goals and eight assists in 22 games before the season had ended. He has won the League Cup during his time at Old Trafford and now captains the side. And he has contributed 69 goals and 59 assists in 208 appearances for the team.
Branislav Ivanovic
Chelsea should also receive huge credit for their capture of Branislav Ivanovic from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2008 for around £10.5m. The former right-back had all the traits to succeed in England and was outstanding for the Blues. He went on to play an influential role as the west Londoners won three Premier League titles, the Champions League, the Europa League, three FA Cups and one League Cup. | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1848267/Man-Utd-Liverpool-Virgil-van-Dijk-Bruno-Fernandes | 2024-01-01T05:40:36Z |

Blinkit (formerly known as Grofers) Founder Albinder Dhindsa informed on X that 2023 ended with one person ordering as many as 81 condoms to his doorstep. Despite not being clear whether he purchased them for self-usage or to donate to sex workers, the big order surprised many people on the internet including Dhindsa. While this customer had ordered 80+ condoms in a single order, it was learned that someone from the national capital had bought nearly 10,000 pieces in the year, okay, 9,940 to be precise.
How 2023 Ended On Blinkit Cart
Dhindsa revealed that the occasion marked the peak of sales for several products including shot glasses, lemons, and even bitter gourd. Adding to it, the founder mentioned that more than two lakh soft drinks were delivered to people last evening. While that seemed like a LIIT party, apart from the Karela, it was learned that Bhujiya topped the Chakhna list, moving over the traditional peanuts.
Meanwhile, it was learned that a customer observed New Year's Eve 2022 in a similar style and ordered 80 condoms in a go, while 33,440 condoms were the total count of the day. Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal threw light on the data by sharing it on social media on December 31, 2021. | https://www.freepressjournal.in/viral/1-customer-81-condoms-blinkit-reveals-how-2023-ended-on-cart | 2024-01-01T05:40:37Z |
Ninety-six years after their first big-screen appearance, two of the most iconic and recognizable characters in the world are sailing straight into the public domain.
It marks the first time the characters of Mickey and Minnie Mouse can freely be used by artists, writers, and filmmakers in their artwork, books, or films without the fear of legal action from The Walt Disney Company.
"This is the juggernaut. This is it. This is Mickey Mouse," said Duke University School of Law Professor Jennifer Jenkins.
But just to be clear, it's not the modern Mickey we know today with his bright red pants and cartoonish voice—it's the mischievous, voiceless, and black-and-white boat captain from "Steamboat Willie."
The short film debuted in 1928 as a technical marvel—the first cartoon to feature synchronized sound. But today, the eight-minute animation is remembered more as the work that catapulted the career of Walt Disney, introduced the world to Disney's longest-running mascots, and helped change copyright law as we know it.
"I kind of feel like the pipe on the steamboat, like expelling smoke," said Jenkins. "It's so exciting that it's finally here. I mean, when I started my job, as a joke, I had a 'Free the Mouse' bumper sticker."
"Steamboat Willie" was originally supposed to enter the public domain in 1984, when the film turned 56, and again in 2004, when the film turned 75. But as Disney became the entertainment powerhouse it still is today, the company lobbied the U.S. government to pass two copyright protection acts to extend its exclusive ownership over the character.
Critics referred to this as the "Mickey Mouse Protection Act," but that comes to an end this year.
"It's exhilarating. But I've been feeling this exhilarating feeling since 2019, because that's the first time after a 20-year drought that any published work at all entered the public domain in the United States," said Jenkins.
The extended copyright terms didn't just stop Mickey and Minnie Mouse from entering the public domain. It also stopped any work of fiction from losing its copyright from 1999 to 2019. That included books like "The Great Gatsby," which entered the public domain in 2021, and A.A. Milne's original "Winnie-the-Pooh," which joined the public the next year.
The characters have since been adapted into graphic novels, video games, a Broadway musical, and a horror movie. All of that could likely soon happen to "Steamboat Willie," but that doesn't mean there's no legal risk at all, as Disney can still claim copyright over later iterations of its characters, including the iconic Sorcerer Mickey from the 1940 film "Fantasia."
A spokesperson from The Walt Disney Company noted: "More modern versions of Mickey will remain unaffected by the expiration of the Steamboat Willie copyright, and Mickey will continue to play a leading role as a global ambassador for the Walt Disney Company in our storytelling, theme park attractions, and merchandise."
Beyond copyright, the House of Mouse also holds a trademark on its famous character, meaning only The Walt Disney Company can use Mickey as its logo and corporate mascot.
That means you can't pretend to be The Walt Disney Company by using the Mickey Mouse branding. But if you want to write your own version of "Steamboat Willie," feel free to go full steam ahead.

It is hoped that 2024 will be the year that monkey dust - a powerful substance ruining lives across Stoke-on-Trent - is driven off the city's streets as pressure mounts for it to be upgraded to a Class A drug. Over the course of the last few years, Stoke-on-Trent has become known as the UK capital of monkey dust.
The powerful stimulant - said to make users resemble zombies - is cheaper to buy than alcohol, with some hits costing as little as £2. Many users - referred to as so-called 'dust-heads' - have been in North Staffordshire's courts for committing violent and desperate crimes.
Earlier this year moves began to be made to reclassify the drug from Class B drug to Class A, which would bring lengthy jail sentences for those caught peddling it. Among those spearheading the campaign is Stoke-on-Trent South MP Jack Brereton.
He said: "I was pleased that Ministers listened to my concerns and the hundreds of local people who signed my petition calling for the reclassification of monkey dust as a class A drug. The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs is tasked with reviewing the evidence and advising the Government, and will report in the New Year.

READ: Monkey dust heads could see prices soar as dealers risk life sentences The drug looks set to be reclassified as Class A
"I am continuing to work with local agencies, including the police, health services and the coroner's service, to document the scale and depth of the harm that these substances are doing in our communities. I want to make 2024 the year we give the authorities the tools and resources they need to drive Monkey Dust off our streets."
A Staffordshire Police spokesperson added: "We are supportive of exploring the reclassification of synthetic cathinones, which includes monkey dust, from Class B to A, which will protect people from the harm of these drugs. The reclassification would make the drugs harder to access and introduce tougher penalties for possession.
"We have a dedicated operation, together with key local partners, aimed at disrupting the supply of monkey dust in Stoke-on-Trent and safeguarding those vulnerable to associated anti-social behaviour and criminality. It is hoped that by signposting users to support and treatment, through our work with partner agencies, we will be able to reduce the adverse impact the substance has on the local community."
What is monkey dust?
Technically named '3, 4 methylenedioxypyrovalerone' and often abbreviated to MDPV, it is a powerful crystal-like powder providing a similarly euphoric effect to cocaine, amphetamines and ecstasy. Street names include 'magic', 'bath salts' and 'zombie dust'.
It can be smoked or snorted and is known for being incredibly cheap - sometimes costing addicts a little as £2 a hit. That can make it popular with people in poverty. Also attractive to those with little money is the long-lasting, intense high, which, according to UK Addiction Treatment Centres (UKAT), can last up to 12 hours. However, along with the highs can come hallucinations and paranoia.
Extreme aggression and senseless behaviour can also be caused when users are high, as has been the case in a series of police incidents in the Potteries in recent years, caused by overwhelming psychoactive effects and reduced levels of serotonin - released during moments of euphoria - in the brain.
A UKAT spokesperson said: "Monkey dust addiction can be extremely damaging both physically and mentally. It carries a high risk of lethal overdose (effects can occur with as little as 3mg-5mg), can lead to heart problems and kidney damage, cause extreme paranoia and agitation and in some cases has been known to induce hallucinations and psychosis.
"The effects of monkey dust addiction are not limited to physical health either as users may find their relationships, finances, education or career suffer as a result of their dependency. Legal issues are also a huge concern both due to monkey dust drug classification as a Class B substance and the high incident rate of crime linked to monkey dust abuse."

Defense systems shot down an armed drone over Ain al-Assad airbase that hosts US and other international forces in western Iraq overnight Sunday, Iraqi army sources told Reuters.
The attack, which the sources said did not cause casualties or damage, is the second one in hours after a drone was shot down on Sunday over Erbil airport in northern Iraq, where US and other international forces are stationed.
Since the start of the war against Hamas in Gaza, the pro-Iranian militias have launched dozens of attacks on bases in Iraq and Syria which host US troops.
The US has retaliated by striking Iranian-linked sites in both Iraq and Syria.
Last week, US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it had conducted strikes against Kataib Hezbollah terrorist group targets in Iraq.
The strikes were in response to “multiple attacks against coalition forces in Iraq and Syria”, the statement said.
The strikes came hours after US and Iraqi officials said a drone attack targeted a military base in northern Iraq used by US and anti-jihadist coalition forces. | https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/382861 | 2024-01-01T05:40:38Z |

Supporting young scientists of paramount importance, Beibit Turabayev
According to Turabayev, Head of State Nursultan Nazarbayev has always paid utmost attention to the growing generation and went to great lengths so that our schoolchildren and students obtained the best knowledge in Kazakhstan and abroad through various programs.
"The President makes sure that our youngsters have an opportunity to go in for sport and unlock their talents. That is why today we have so many gifted youngsters. As the Kazakh leader noted in his speech, investing into human capital worldwide is considered one of the most important investments of the state. This year will be even more productive, because the Head of State officially declared it the Year of Youth in Kazakhstan. This is a huge impetus for all of us and a good chance to prove our worth," Beibut Turabayev noted.
He reminded that at the opening ceremony of the Year of Youth President Nazarbayev tasked to increase financing of young scientists.
"These people work to make our future more comfortable. I am confident that their projects will put Kazakhstan on the map. It is a wide decision to invest money into their innovations," Turabayev added.
Recall that the Year of Youth officially kicked off in Kazakhstan on January 23 this year. Head of State Nursultan Nazarbayev addressed young Kazakhstanis at the opening ceremony the same day. | https://en.inform.kz/news/supporting-young-scientists-of-paramount-importance-beibit-turabayev_a3492423/ | 2024-01-01T05:40:39Z |

Look what you made Taylor Swift do to her NFL style game.
While cheering on her boyfriend Travis Kelce at the Kansas City Chiefs' home game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Dec. 31, the "Blank Space" singer wore a cream and black varsity jacket with the team's logo, customized with a patch that appeared to read, "Tay-Tay."
Kelce, 34, had sported a nearly identical jacket—minus the patch and with different trim—last week when he arrived at Arrowhead for the Chiefs' Christmas Day game against the Las Vegas Raiders, as seen in a photo shared on his and the NFL's Instagram pages.

Swift paired her jacket with black pants worn over matching stiletto boots at the game, which the Chiefs won 25-17.
This marked the ninth time the 34-year-old has been seen at Kelce's games since the two began dating over the summer. She has so far showcased a variety of stylish outfits incorporating various pieces of Chiefs apparel during her outings.
Entertainment News
The Grammy winner had previously attended the Chiefs' Dec. 25 game and made that event a full family affair, bringing along for the first time both of her parents at the same time—with her mom Andrea Swift making her debut—as well as her brother Austin Swift. Taylor Swift's mom and her dad Scott Swift were spotted chatting with Travis Kelce's dad Ed Kelce at the event.
Both Taylor Swift's dad and brother have accompanied her to Chiefs games before. Travis Kelce, 34, recently revealed on his and brother Jason Kelce's podcast "New Heights" that Austin Swift gave him a holiday gift while dressed as Santa during the Christmas Day game.
"He made me feel like a child because his gift to me was straight out of the bag—in the Santa sack," the Chiefs tight end said. "And handed me a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time: Little Giants."
Meanwhile, the power couple's romance has received a stamp of approval from Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt.
"We're so happy," she said, "and excited for them." | https://www.nbcboston.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/taylor-swift-matches-travis-kelces-jacket-at-chiefs-nye-game/3232568/ | 2024-01-01T05:40:41Z |
