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.

WARNING: Graphic language and images
Police shot and killed a 63-year-old woman who allegedly broke into her sister’s home armed with a handgun and set the residence on fire earlier this month, authorities announced.
Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department responded to the Dec. 1 incident in the 9600 block of Laramie Avenue in Chatsworth just before 2 p.m., according to a LAPD news release.
When the suspect, later identified as Newbury Park resident Lisa Davis, broke into the home, her sister locked herself in the bathroom and called 911.
When police arrived at the location, body-worn camera footage clearly shows flames and smoke coming from the home.
Officers were able to rescue the victim after she escaped the home and got into a neighbor’s backyard. She informed police that Davis was armed and that she had last seen her in the backyard of her home.
“The sergeant and officers entered the backyard of the residence as the fire was actively burning and announced their presence,” the release stated. “The officers searched the area behind the garage and located Davis who immediately pointed a handgun at an officer, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting. Davis was struck by gunfire, fell onto the ground and was taken into custody without further incident.”
Paramedics with the Los Angeles Fire Department responded and rushed the 63-year-old to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.
A Walther model P22, .22 caliber, blue-steel semi-automatic handgun was recovered at the scene, police said.
A witness, Eric Vanlier, was near the area when he saw smoke and flames from the property.
“The police just started running towards the house,” Vanlier recalled. “I saw one of them with a rifle in his hand, so I knew it was more than a fire. I was kind of in the line of fire, so I just got out of it as quick as possible.”
Some neighbors said the dispute between the sisters may have been over who would own the home that was set on fire.
“I know recently she inherited the house and there could’ve been some sort of dispute with her sisters over the inheritance,” said Nevada Smith, a neighbor.
The use of lethal force is being investigated by LAPD’s specialized Force Investigation Division and once completed, it will be reviewed by the chief of police, the Board of Police Commissioners and the Office of the Inspector General to ensure officers complied with the department’s policies and procedures.
No officers or community members were injured during the incident. | https://ktla.com/news/local-news/63-year-old-woman-shot-killed-by-police-in-l-a-county/ | 2024-01-01T05:45:18Z |
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.

KINSHASA, Congo — Congo's President Felix Tshisekedi has won reelection with more than 70% of the vote, the country's election commission said Sunday as opposition candidates and their supporters questioned the validity of the results.
The preliminary results of the Dec. 20 election were announced in the capital, Kinshasa, amid demands from the opposition and some civil society groups for the vote to be rerun due to massive logistical problems that they said had undermined the balloting.
Tshisekedi's overwhelming declared victory was likely to fuel those concerns. The second-place candidate was businessman Moise Katumbi, who received 18% of the vote, and Martin Fayulu, who received 5%, finished third. Nobel Peace Prize winner Denis Mukwege, a physician renowned for treating women brutalized by sexual violence in eastern Congo, got less than 1%.
Speaking from his headquarters in the capital after the results were announced, Tshisekedi thanked his supporters for giving him another five-year term.
"You believed in my commitment so that our country can find its place in the concert of nations," he said. "You have embraced my vision of society. I will spare no effort for more jobs, more purchasing power, more access to basic services at all levels."
About 18 million people voted in the election, which had a turnout of more than a 40%, according to the election commission. The results will be sent to the constitutional court for confirmation, election chief Denis Kadima said.
Candidates opposing the results have two days to submit their claims, and the constitutional court then has seven days to decide. The final results are expected on January 10, and the president is scheduled to be sworn in at the end of that month.
Congo has a history of disputed elections that can turn violent, and there's little confidence among many Congolese in the country's institutions. Before the results were announced Sunday, opposition candidates, including Katumbi, said they rejected the results and called on the population to mobilize.
The logistical problems included many polling stations being late in opening or not opening at all. Some lacked materials, and many voter cards had smudged ink that made them illegible.
Voting in the election had to be extended into a second day— something local observers and civil society organizations have called illegal — and parts of the country were still casting ballots five days after election day.
"If a foreign country considers these elections to be elections, there's a problem," Fayulu said at a news conference in the capital Sunday before the results were announced. "It's a farce, don't accept (the results)."
Violence was already flaring in parts of the country before the results were announced. In the eastern city of Goma, youth barricaded some main streets demanding a revote. Earlier this week, clashes erupted between some of Fayulu's supporters and police officers who fired tear gas at protesters who threw rocks and barricaded themselves inside the opposition headquarters.
"These elections are an example of fraud and ballot-box stuffing, flouting any transparent and credible electoral process and, moreover, democracy," said Bienvenu Matumo, a member of LUCHA, a local rights group.
Leading up to and during the vote, the election commission was accused of not being transparent enough. The East African Community said its election observer mission was not granted access to Congo, and the European Union canceled its mission after authorities did not authorize the use of satellite equipment by EU monitors.
Congo analysts say the thousands of observers that were in the country were unable to say whether the irregularities had an impact on the overall integrity of the results, leaving it to the election commission.
Tshisekedi already has spent much of his time in office trying to gain legitimacy after a disputed 2018 election that some observers said Fayulu had actually won.
Overall, Tshisekedi's track record has been spotty. He's struggled to stem violence in the east, a goal he campaigned on.
Conflict in eastern Congo has raged for decades, with more than 120 armed groups fighting for power, resources and to protect their communities. But the violence has spiked during Tshisekedi's term with the resurgence of the M23 rebels, who have displaced millions of people and seized swaths of land. The fighting prevented 1.5 million people from registering to vote.
Attempts to quell the violence with an East African Force comprised of troops from neighboring countries have failed. The force is pulling out, along with a U.N. peacekeeping mission that has been in Congo for decades.
Still, Tshisekedi's initiatives creating free health care for pregnant mothers and babies and providing free primary education has changed the lives of some people living in remote villages.
"My brothers can go to school now without my parents paying, which allows my father to put that money to buying food for the family," John Nlaza, a resident of a small village in Kongo Central province told The Associated Press.
Congolese analysts said it's important to view Tshisekedi's win with caution given the significant uncertainty of the presidential election's validity.
"The opposition's contesting of the results is not only a predictable reaction, but it also highlights the persistence of a deeper crisis of legitimacy at the top of the state," Tresor Kibangula, a political analyst at the Congolese research institute Ebuteli, said. "This battle will depend on (the opposition's) ability to mobilize the Congolese people for its cause, with a view to reversing the balance of power."

World rings in 2024 after devastating wars, bots and heat
PARIS
Jubilant crowds bid farewell on Sunday to the hottest year on record, closing a turbulent 12 months marked by clever chatbots, climate crises and devastating wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
Much of the world's population — now more than eight billion — is hoping to shake off high living costs and global tumult in 2024, which will bring elections concerning half the world's population and the Paris Olympics.
Taksim, the central district of Istanbul, served as the focal point for New Year's Eve festivities this year, as before. The streets were decked out and illuminated.
Due to the PKK attacks that killed 12 Turkish soldiers a few days ago, numerous events and concerts in Istanbul were cancelled. Nevertheless, people who want to celebrate New Year's Eve outdoors prefer the thoroughfares, restaurants, and entertainment venues.
In Sydney, the self-proclaimed "New Year's capital of the world", more than a million partygoers packed around the harbour, with city officials and police warning that all vantage points were full.
Sydneysiders gathered through the day at prominent sites, defying uncharacteristically dank weather, and were not disappointed when the Harbour Bridge and other landmarks were garlanded in light and colour by eight tonnes of fireworks.
Pyrotechnics also illuminated the skies in Auckland, Hong Kong, Manila and Indonesia.
People wearing Santa hats waded into the mild Mediterranean waters of southern France, while revellers munched on skewers of meat and danced in the streets in traditional end-of-year celebrations in Greece's Thessaloniki.
The last 12 months brought "Barbenheimer" to the box office, a proliferation of human-seeming artificial intelligence tools, and a world-first whole-eye transplant.
India outgrew China as the world's most populous country, and then became the first nation to land an unmanned craft on the Moon's south pole.
It was also the hottest year since records began in 1880, with a spate of climate-fuelled disasters striking across the world.
Fans bade adieu to "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll" Tina Turner, "Friends" actor Matthew Perry, hell-raising Anglo-Irish songsmith Shane MacGowan, and master dystopian novelist Cormac McCarthy.
Rebuilding
Perhaps more than anything, 2023 will be remembered for war in the Middle East, after Hamas's unprecedented October 7 raids on southern Israel and Israel's ferocious reprisals on Gaza.
The United Nations estimates that almost two million Gazans have been displaced since Israel's siege began, or about 85 percent of the peacetime population.
With once-bustling Gaza City neighbourhoods reduced to rubble, there were few places left to mark the new year — and fewer loved ones to celebrate with.
Some in Vladimir Putin's Russia are weary of the conflict in Ukraine.
Putin himself remained determined in his New Year's Eve address, vowing that Russia "will never back down" and praising front-line troops.
Putin, already Russia's longest-tenured leader since Joseph Stalin, will again be on the ballot for a March election.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's New Year's Eve address, after nearly two years of war, was defiant.
Ukrainian pilots were mastering the F-16 warplanes supplied by their allies, he said. In 2024, "we will definitely see them in our skies. So that our enemies can certainly see what our real wrath is."
Russia would also feel the full force of Ukraine's domestic arms production, he added, including at least a million drones.
In Rome, Pope Francis prayed for the victims of conflicts around the globe, citing Ukrainians, Palestinians and Israelis, the people of Sudan and the "martyred Rohingya" of Myanmar.
"At the end of a year, have the courage to ask how many lives have been torn apart in armed conflicts, how many deaths?" the 87-year-old pontiff said after his Angelus prayer in St Peter's Square.
"And how much destruction, how much suffering, how much poverty? Those who have an interest in these conflicts, listen to the voice of conscience."
To the polls
Several pivotal elections are scheduled in 2024, with the political fate of more than four billion people to be decided in contests that will shape Britain, the European Union, India, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, Venezuela and a host of other nations.
In his televised New Year's address, French President Emmanuel Macron said the European Parliament elections in June would present "a decisive choice" between "the continuation of Europe, or blocking it" at a time when war is at Europe's doorstep in Ukraine.
But one election in particular promises global consequences.
In the United States, Democrat Joe Biden, 81, and Republican Donald Trump, 77, appear set for a November rerun of their divisive 2020 presidential contest.
As the incumbent, Biden has at times appeared to show his advancing age and even his supporters worry about the toll of another bruising four years in office.
There are at least as many concerns about a Trump return.
He faces prosecution on several counts, and 2024 could determine whether the bombastic self-proclaimed billionaire goes to the Oval Office or jail.
Denmark's popular Queen Margrethe II, Europe's longest-serving monarch, chose her New Year's Eve address to announce her coming abdication.

05:59 Ukraine and Russia accuse each other of attacks on New Year's Day
Ukraine and Russia have accused each other of attacks early on New Year's morning. According to the Ukrainian air force, Russia carried out attacks on the regions of Mykolaiv, Odessa and Dnipro. At least one person was killed in the Russian airstrike on Odessa, the governor of the Odessa region, Oleh Kiper, announced via Telegram. Although the Ukrainian air defense fended off the drone attack, falling debris caused several fires in residential buildings in various parts of the city and injured several people. At the same time, Russia spoke of "heavy shelling" by Ukrainian forces in the center of Donetsk. Four people were killed in the shelling, wrote Denis Pushilin, the head of the expanded Donetsk region appointed by Russia, on Telegram. 14 people were injured.
23:30 Selensky: A better tomorrow will not come by itself
At the turn of the year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky calls on Ukrainians to shape the new year according to their own ideas and not to lose sight of the future of their homeland. "We Ukrainians know better than anyone that a better tomorrow does not come by itself, because we defend each of our tomorrows with our own hands," he says in his video address, in which his wife Olena also appeared alongside him. "That's why our new year will be exactly what we want it to be and how we will shape it." Selenskyj points out that a new year is also associated with energetic action - he addresses the people directly: "Not only the New Year's miracle, but also the year-round miracle is all of you: determined, responsible, caring and efficient." At the same time, he reminded the Ukrainians that the country was still under attack from Russia and wished them strength and confidence. "Life and strength for the people who are defending a free and secure future - not just their own, but that of the whole world."
22:45 Putin critic Duntsova sends hopeful New Year's greetings
Journalist Ekaterina Duntsova, who has been suspended from the presidential election , also addresses Russians in a New Year's message. "The heart of each of us is full of hope that things will get better in the New Year. (...) And those who are dear to us are with us, not somewhere far away, risking their lives while performing tasks whose goals cannot really be explained to us," Duntsova notes. "New Year is when we live in peace. With ourselves and our neighbors," she says. Finally, she calls for unity: "Only together can we bring the future back to our country!"
22:16 Medvedev calls on Russians to fight neo-fascism at New Year
In a video address published on Telegram, Dmitry Medvedev congratulates Russians on the New Year. The deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council and former Russian president also says that his "thoughts are with those on the front". He calls on Russians to "make 2024 the year of the final defeat of neo-fascism". He also repeats Putin's claim that Russia invaded Ukraine to fight "neo-Nazis".
21:55 Pope prays for "the martyred Ukrainian people"
Pope Francis emphasizes the importance of gratitude and hope during the solemn service on New Year's Eve with a view to the new year. The 87-year-old head of the Catholic Church delivers the sermon at the vespers service with the traditional hymn of praise "Te Deum" in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Following the Angelus prayer, he calls for prayers for all countries suffering from war: "Let us not stop praying for the peoples suffering from wars: for the martyred Ukrainian people, for the Palestinian and Israeli people, for the Sudanese people and for many others." The Pope refuses to take sides in Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. He called for an end to the fighting, but blamed "several empires" for Russia's war. "At the end of the year, let us dare to ask: How many people have lost their lives in armed conflicts? How many dead? And how much destruction, how much suffering, how much poverty?" he preaches.
21:27 BBC report: Russia sentences student to four years in prison for treason
BBC News Russian Service reports that a court in the North Caucasus has sentenced 18-year-old Kevin Lik to four years in prison for treason. According to the report, this is the first time that a schoolboy has been convicted of "espionage". According to the BBC, the court report accuses Lik of "conducting visual observations" and photographing the "deployment sites" of the Russian military unit in Maikop from December 23, 2021 to February 8, 2023. Lik allegedly sent these photos to the email account of a "representative of a foreign state". Addresses and photos of Maikop military units can be found on the Internet, BBC emphasizes. According to the BBC, the age of the convicted man and his academic achievements are said to be mitigating circumstances. Lik is said to have won the German Language Olympiad in Adygeya four times and was also a medal winner at the 2021 History Olympiad.
20:50 Navalny sends New Year's greetings from the Arctic Circle
Imprisoned Kremlin opponent Alexei Navalny sends "Arctic hugs and polar greetings" from the remote "Polar Wolf" prison camp in the far north of Russia. The 47-year-old sent the personal New Year greeting to his subscribers on social media. Navalny writes there that he misses his family, his parents and his brother very much. "I even miss the opportunity to insult those who send stupid, identical congratulations and pictures to the entire list of recipients on WhatsApp on New Year's Eve. It used to make me angry, but now I think: this is so sweet," the opposition figure's message reads. Navalny's post is illustrated with an image created with the help of artificial intelligence. The picture shows Navalny with his wife, daughter and son.
20:20 Kiev's air force chief celebrates defense successes
In an annual report for 2023, Ukrainian air force chief Oleshchuk praises the number of missiles shot down by his country's air defense system. In total, 85% of the combat drones and cruise missiles used by the Russian military against targets in Ukraine were shot down. Ballistic missile defense had also become more effective thanks to the Patriot systems delivered at the beginning of 2023. The information could not be independently verified. "With increasing combat experience and the receipt of additional weapons from partners, air defense has become stronger every day," writes Oleshchuk on Telegram. "We are waiting for more systems that will be able to intercept ballistic missiles."
20:08 After attack on Belgorod: Russian cities cancel fireworks displays
Administrations of Russian cities are canceling fireworks events in connection with the shelling of Belgorod. This is reported by the authorities of Nizhny Novgorod, Ufa, Perm, Orenburg, Penza, Magadan and Blagoveshchensk, according to BBC News Russia. The festive fireworks display has also been canceled in St. Petersburg, but the entertainment program is to remain unchanged. According to the BBC, the cancellations are a consequence of the Ukrainian rocket attack on Belgorod, in which at least 24 people were killed. No mourning for the victims has been declared in Russia.
19:42 Klitschko announces a day of mourning in Kiev on January 1

18:59 Media report: 18-year-old Russian soldier dies in Ukraine
According to media reports, an 18-year-old Russian soldier has died in the war in Ukraine. Less than three months are said to have passed between the signing of the contract and the death of Stanislav Silchenkov. His mother told the BBC that Silchenkov signed the contract on September 5 and died at the front on November 17. It was only in April 2023 that the Duma in Russia passed a law for the rapid recruitment of high school graduates. Previously, Russian laws required that a future soldier must complete at least three months of compulsory military service before entering the service. According to a British broadcaster, Silchenkov is the first known Russian casualty born in 2005. The broadcaster also pointed out that the training of Russian military personnel before deployment to the front would in many cases only last a few days. Even in the Soviet Union, conscripts were trained for four to six months before being sent to Afghanistan, according to the broadcaster's study.
18:30 Ukraine: Patriot systems are said to have shot down 15 Russian missiles
According to Ukrainian media reports citing the Ukrainian air force, the Patriot air defense systems are said to have already shot down 15 Russian missiles since their first deployment in May 2023. Air Force spokesman Yurii Ihnat said on national television: "On May 4, the first missile was successfully intercepted. The count started from that moment." In early May, the Ukrainian air force claimed to have shot down a Russian Kh-47 Kinschal ballistic missile for the first time since the start of the war. In April, Ukraine received its first two Patriot systems from the USA and Germany. The Patriot system is one of the best air defense systems in the world and allows Ukraine to shoot down ballistic missiles, reducing the risk of infrastructure damage and civilian casualties from Russian attacks.

But unlike last year, when the president appeared with military representatives in uniform at his side, this time he declared 2024 to be the "Year of the Family". In 2023, "we defended our national interests hard, our freedom and our security, our values", he says.

21:42 St. Petersburg: "Unauthorized" memorial plaque for Prigozhin appears
A memorial plaque to "Wagner" boss Prigozhin is said to have been placed on the wall of his St. Petersburg office at Lieutenant Schmidt Embankment number 7, according to Radio Liberty, citing a report by "Fontanka". "Fontanka" posted photos of the memorial plaque on its Telegram channel. "The Hero of the Russian Federation, head of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin, worked in this house from 2003 to 2023," the plaque reads. Apparently, the installation of the memorial plaque was not approved by the city council. As Fontanka reports, the owner of the building, Bar Service LLC, had previously approached the city's culture committee with a proposal to put up a plaque. However, the authorities had rejected this. Prigozhin died in August 2023 as a result of a private plane crash over the Tver region. Officially, the causes of the disaster are unknown. The funeral of Prigozhin, who bore the title of Hero of Russia, was not held in public, without the state honors due in such cases.

On New Year's Eve, DeSantis urges crowd to defy odds and help him 'win the Iowa caucuses'
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - To underscore how much Iowa means to Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor was unwilling to put his campaigning there on hold even in the waning hours of 2023.
At a New Year´s Eve event in a Sheraton Hotel ballroom in West Des Moines, jeans and cowboy boots outnumbered tuxedos and cocktail dresses, and Miller Lite seemed more popular than champagne.
But the modesty of the affair, where roughly 200 people turned out for the last campaign event of the busy year in Iowa, belied its importance to the host, who has wagered the future of his Republican bid for president on the leadoff Iowa caucuses, just two weeks away.
"Are you ready to work hard over these next two weeks and win the Iowa caucuses?" DeSantis asked supporters who turned out at the suburban hotel Sunday evening.
While Donald Trump prepares to return this week for a series of rallies, DeSantis did not leave Iowa alone during the week between Christmas and New Year´s. He campaigned in the suburbs of Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Davenport, revisiting spots he had gone to in 2023 as part of his drive to touch all 99 of Iowa´s counties as a gesture of commitment to the leadoff nominating contests.
But Trump holds a large advantage in Iowa polls as well as a sophisticated campaign organization in the state, threatening to deny DeSantis the win he needs to justify his claim to be the leading alternative to the former president.

Appearing Sunday night with his wife, Casey, and their young children, DeSantis urged his audience to defy the odds. "I think we have an opportunity to just make a statement that in this country it's we the people that ultimately decide these things," he said. "Because I think you have a lot of media, they don't think you even matter."
DeSantis wasn't alone in Iowa between Christmas and New Year's, a period typically free from politics. The Jan. 15 caucuses' earlier-than-usual spot on the election-year calendar lured former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to eastern Iowa stops Friday and Saturday, as she competes with DeSantis as a Trump alternative.
Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy also stormed the state, trying to remain part of the conversation despite curtailing his advertising spending. Ramaswamy held more than two dozen Iowa events last week and over the weekend.
No one has more riding on Iowa than DeSantis, who reshuffled a campaign viewed early as national in scope after summer staff shakeups prompted by overspending and internal disagreements. He stood onstage Sunday evening in West Des Moines with Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds and evangelical Christian leader Bob Vander Plaats, who have risked their own influence by backing DeSantis.
DeSantis and his supporters asked the audience Sunday to ignore polls that show him trailing Trump appreciably.
"Everywhere I go the polls do not match up with reality," Vander Plaats told the crowd. "Going up in northwest Iowa - heavy Trump country - they all say the same thing to me. They like what he did, but it´s time to turn the page."
DeSantis has an unrelenting Iowa schedule ahead of him beginning early this week. Trump, who has drawn hundreds - even thousands - more to fewer events, plans his own blitz over the final two weeks, including in deeply conservative northwest Iowa.

Pensions revaluation: increases 2024. The figures
As we have had the opportunity to explain several times, with the next payslip pension – to be paid on Wednesday 3 January 2024 – the INPS will provide for each treatment the increase foreseen by the so-called revaluation, i.e. the instrument with which the amounts are adjusted to the cost of living. The website www.money.it writes it very well.
In recent days there has been a lot of talk about the figures of the increases, but what is often forgotten to specify is that they are gross amounts. After taxes, therefore, you could receive much less than what is indicated.
In this regard, it is interesting to delve deeper into how increases in the revaluation of pensions are taxed, in order to get an idea of how much is actually due.
How the pension revaluation is calculated
The revaluation rate ascertained for 2023 is equal to 5.4%. This percentage applies in full to social security and welfare payments whose amount does not exceed 4 times the minimum payment (value updated in December 2023), while above this threshold reduced percentages are envisaged as recently modified by the 2024 Budget Law.
To calculate the revaluation due, therefore, you must:
check the gross amount of the last pension (the one paid this month) and check which bracket you belong to;
apply the relevant percentage on the entire amount.
In this regard, here is a table that helps clarify.
Check range From TO Equalization index Provisional inflation rate Actual revaluation
Up to four times the minimum treatment—2,271.76 euros100%5.4%5.4%
Over 4 and up to 5 times the minimum treatment2,271.76 euros*2,839.70 euros90%5.4%4.86%
Over 5 and up to 6 times the minimum treatment2,839.70 euros*3,407.64 euros53%5.4%2.862%
Over 6 and up to 8 times the minimum treatment3,407.64 euros*4,453.52 euros47%5.4%2.538%
Over 8 and up to 10 times the minimum treatment4,453.52 euros*5,679.40 euros37%5.4%1.998%
Over 10 times the minimum5,679.40 euros*-22%5.4%1.188%
* For pensions of an amount higher than the threshold limit but in any case lower than this limit increased by the amount of automatic revaluation due for the previous band, the increase in revaluation is attributed up to the aforementioned increased limit.
As anticipated, however, these are gross increases: like the entire pension, in fact, taxes are also applied on the revaluation, both the Irpef and the regional and municipal surcharges. Therefore, only those who are in the no tax area will have a gross increase that coincides with the net one, who among other things will benefit from the full revaluation.
For everyone else, however, increases are taxed and the higher the income, the greater the difference between the gross and net amount.
How revaluation increases are taxed
As anticipated, the increases recognized to those who are in the no tax area are to be considered as if they were net, which in 2024 is still equal to 8,500 euros.
This means that up to a pension of approximately 650 euros, the increases in revaluation – equal to 5.4% of the amount received – can be considered as if they were net.
Let's think of a pension of 500 euros, on which the pensioner will receive an increased allowance of 27 euros (net) starting from January 2024.
Above 8,500 and up to 28,000 euros, however, an Irpef rate of 23% applies (just revised by the 2024 budget law) from which a deduction calculated as follows is subtracted:
700+(1,955-700)* [(28.000-RC*)/(28.000-8.500)]
*Where RC means personal pension income.
Let's therefore take a pension in 2023 equal to 1,500 euros per month – approximately 1,200 euros per month without however counting the regional and municipal surcharges – on which, due to a revaluation of 5.4%, an increase of 81 euros gross is coming.
In 2024, the gross amount thus rises to 1,581 euros, approximately 1,275 euros net (without however considering the municipal and regional surcharges), compared to a net increase of approximately 75 euros also thanks to the Irpef reform: if up until last year a pension of 1,500 euros was taxed partly at 23% and partly at 25%, this year it will all be taxed at 23%.
The table with the net increases
Calculating the net increase could be rather complicated, especially for those who are not particularly familiar with these procedures. In this regard, we have tried to simplify it for you by personally doing some calculations on the net increases in the revaluation expected in January, also applying the regional and municipal surtaxes to the gross amount (we took a pensioner resident in the Municipality of Rome as a reference).

AP PHOTOS: Dancing with the bears lives on as a unique custom in Romania
COMANESTI, Romania (AP) - A small industrial town in northeast Romania may seem like an unlikely tourist destination, but Comanesti is where huge numbers of visitors from as far away as Japan choose to spend part of the winter holiday season.
They converge here to see an annual event that grew out of a millennia-old tradition in the Moldavia region: Bearskin-clad people of all ages, organized in packs, marching and dancing to the deafening sound of drums in several rows of gaping jaws and claws.
The Dancing Bears Festival, as the custom has become known, starts in the days before Christmas and ends with a spectacular finale in Comanesti on Dec. 30. Some of the "bears" jokingly growl or mock an attack on spectators.
The bearskins the dancers wear, which can weigh as much as 50 kilograms (110 pounds), are passed on from generation to generation. The packs carefully guard the methods they use to keep the furs in good condition and ready to wear the next year.
One of the more established groups is the Sipoteni Bear Pack, named after a neighborhood of Comanesti, where its founder, Costel Dascalu, was born. It has up to 120 members, some who started participating at age 3.
"My children, Amalia and David, are already in the pack," said Dascalu, who was 8 years old when he first danced dressed as a bear when Romania was still a communist dictatorship. Back then, he recalled, it was a much more low-key spectacle, with the "bears" only visiting private homes around Christmas.

Locals say the custom dates to before Christianity, when it was believed that wild animals guarded people from misfortune and danger. Dancing bears, therefore, went to people´s homes and knocked on their doors for luck and a happy new year.
While having their portraits taken, members of the Sipoteni Bear Pack shared with the The Associated Press some of their reasons for making sure the ritual continues.
Preserving tradition was a recurring theme. But some pack members said they get an adrenaline rush from wearing an animal´s fur, dancing to tribal drum rhythms and socializing with other young people in real life instead of online. Many said they feel they are briefly embodying a bear's spirit.
"I feel liberated, The bear frees our souls," said one participant, Maria, who joined the Sipoteni Bear Pack as a 5-year-old and is now 22. "I also connect to my departed father who introduced me to the tradition 17 years ago."
Residents are happy that the tradition lived on as the region lost much of its population starting in the 1990s, when many people left to look for jobs in Western Europe after the fall of communism.
A 35-year-old, Marian, returns every year from abroad to dance with the pack she has belonged to since age 6.
"I hope our children will make this unique custom last forever," she said. "I can imagine quitting anything, but I´ll never quit doing this"

When it comes to purchasing automobiles, the saying ‘old is gold’ is no longer applicable to Puneites, as the majority of consumers prefer to purchase new four-wheelers rather than renew the certificate of registration of their old vehicles. Vehicle sales appear to have resumed following a two-year hiatus caused by the COVID-19 epidemic. According to data shared by the Regional Transport Office (RTO), as many as 2.93 lakh vehicles were purchased in Pune city in 2023. In comparison to the previous year, 38,000 more vehicles were registered. “With the change in trend and modification in vehicles, people’s requirements have changed and therefore, citizens are opting for new vehicles rather than renewal.
It could be either the citizens are not aware about such a concept that they can renew their vehicles post inspection by the official concerned and then they decide about the vehicles validity as per the norms,” Sanjeev Bhor, regional transport officer, Pune, told Mirror. To overcome pollution, personal use vehicle liability on roads should be for 15 year life. If an individual wants exceed this and continue the usage then it is mandatory to renew the RC. If not so, then the vehicle goes to scrap. As per the RTO norms for commercial vehicles, the vehicles used for over eight years are charged green tax at the period of fitness certificate renewal at a rate of 10 to 25% of the road tax, while personal vehicles will be charged a green tax at the time of registration certification renewal after 15 years. In 2023, as many as 22,209 vehicles procured green tax benefit, wherein 14,004 cars and 8,205 two-wheelers registered for RC renewal.

The war in Gaza ground into the new year on Monday, with Hamas firing a barrage of rockets at Israel just as the clock struck midnight and two dozen people killed overnight in Israeli strikes on the Palestinian territory.
Air alert sirens sounded across Israel as 2024 began, and AFP journalists in Tel Aviv witnessed missile defence systems intercepting rockets overhead, with some revellers in the streets below rushing for cover while others kept up the party with a shrug.
“We were all afraid on the corners… my heart was pounding,” Gabriel Zemelman, 26, said in front of a bar after the rocket fire.
“It’s terrifying. You just saw the life we live, it’s crazy.”
The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, claimed responsibility for the attack in a video published on social media, saying they had fired M90 rockets in “response to the massacres of civilians” carried out by Israel.
The Israeli army confirmed the attack, without initially reporting any casualties or damage.
Surrounded by partiers, server Ran Stahl, 24, said he didn’t have the heart to celebrate, not since one of his friends was killed in Hamas’s attack on the Supernova music festival.
“The minute I start to dance, I feel guilty — the sadness and mourning come back,” he said.
In Gaza, overnight Israeli strikes killed at least 24 people, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, with attacks reported across the length of the territory.
The nearly three-month war in Gaza was triggered by Hamas’s bloody October 7 attacks on Israel, which killed around 1,140 people, most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures.
Fighters also took around 250 people hostage that day, most of whom remain in Gaza, according to Israeli officials.
Israel vowed to destroy Hamas in response, launching a punishing offensive in the Gaza Strip that has reduced vast areas to a ruined wasteland and killed at least 21,822 people, mostly women and children, according to the territory’s health ministry.
The Israeli army says 172 of its soldiers have been killed inside Gaza, with the war showing no signs of stopping.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Saturday that the fighting would last “many months until Hamas is eliminated and the hostages are returned”.
– ‘We live like animals’ –
In the besieged Gaza Strip, where the UN says 85 percent of the population has been displaced, 20-year-old Hamdan Abu Arab said he hoped “2024 will be better”.
“Just a while ago, I was talking to my friends, and we remembered how… we used to go out and enjoy our time on the last day of the year. But this New Year’s Eve, there are only missiles and the remains of people,” he said.
Since Israel imposed a siege at the outset of the war, Gazans have been facing dire shortages of food, fuel, water and medicine.
UN chief Antonio Guterres has condemned the “epic human suffering” and “collective punishment” of Palestinian civilians, while the WHO has warned of the risk of infectious disease.
“We are exhausted… We were displaced five times during this war,” said 29-year-old Bassam Hana.
“We hope things improve in 2024 and that we live just like any other human being. Currently, we live like animals.”
At least 48 Palestinians were killed in strikes on Gaza City over the weekend, the territory’s health ministry said, with many still buried under the rubble.
“After the explosion we arrived at the scene of the strike and saw martyrs everywhere,” said one resident after a building was hit.
“Children are still missing, we can’t find them.”
In his nightly briefing on Sunday, Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said several militants “were killed and subdued during the battles in Khan Yunis” earlier in the day.
“We are continuing to handle the underground tunnels and to strike the rocket launching array, in order to reduce rocket fire into the State of Israel.
“Dozens of aircrafts are in the skies of Gaza at any given moment,” he said.
– Regional fears –
International mediators have continued efforts toward a new pause in fighting.
A Hamas delegation from Qatar visited Cairo on Friday to discuss an Egyptian three-phase plan proposing renewable ceasefires, a staggered release of hostages for Palestinian prisoners, and ultimately an end to the war, sources close to Hamas said.
Their allies Islamic Jihad said on Saturday that Palestinian factions were “in the process” of evaluating the proposal and would give a response “within days”.
The war in Gaza has raised fears of a broader regional conflict, with hostilities flaring with mostly Iran-backed militant groups in nearby countries who say they are acting in support of Hamas.
The Israeli army announced Sunday night having intercepted two “hostile aircraft” launched from Syria towards northern Israel. Earlier it had reported launches toward Israeli territory originating in Lebanon.
“Throughout the day, IDF (military) tanks and helicopters targeted three terrorist squads operating in Lebanon,” the army said in a statement.
And in the Red Sea, the US military said Sunday that Navy helicopters had fired at Iran-backed Huthi rebel boats off Yemen that were attacking a cargo ship, with Yemeni sources reporting 10 rebels killed. | https://www.digitaljournal.com/world/israel-begins-new-year-under-rockets-barrage-as-army-pounds-gaza/article | 2024-01-01T05:45:24Z |

06:20 Zelensky threatens Russia with urgent message
In his New Year's address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Russia about the power of "domestic" weapons production. Ukraine will have at least "one million" additional drones in its arsenal by 2024, Selensky said on Sunday. In addition, there would be F-16 fighter jets supplied by Western partners. "Our pilots have already mastered the F-16 fighter jets and we will definitely see them in our skies," said Zelensky, whose televised address was accompanied by images of Ukrainian artillery and fighter jets. Moscow's armed forces would see "what our true wrath looks like", he assured.
05:59 Ukraine and Russia accuse each other of attacks on New Year's Day
Ukraine and Russia have accused each other of attacks early on New Year's morning. According to the Ukrainian air force, Russia flew attacks on the regions of Mykolaiv, Odessa and Dnipro. At least one person was killed in the Russian airstrike on Odessa, the governor of the Odessa region, Oleh Kiper, announced via Telegram. Although the Ukrainian air defense fended off the drone attack, falling debris caused several fires in residential buildings in various parts of the city and injured several people. At the same time, Russia spoke of "heavy shelling" by Ukrainian forces in the center of Donetsk. Four people were killed in the shelling, wrote Denis Pushilin, the head of the expanded Donetsk region appointed by Russia, on Telegram. 14 people were injured.
23:30 Selensky: A better tomorrow will not come by itself
At the turn of the year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky calls on Ukrainians to shape the new year according to their own ideas and not to lose sight of the future of their homeland. "We Ukrainians know better than anyone that a better tomorrow does not come by itself, because we defend each of our tomorrows with our own hands," he says in his video address, in which his wife Olena also appeared alongside him. "That's why our new year will be exactly what we want it to be and how we will shape it." Selenskyj points out that a new year is also associated with energetic action - he addresses the people directly: "Not only the New Year's miracle, but also the year-round miracle is all of you: determined, responsible, caring and efficient." At the same time, he reminded the Ukrainians that the country was still under attack from Russia and wished them strength and confidence. "Life and strength for the people who are defending a free and secure future - not just their own, but that of the whole world."
22:45 Putin critic Duntsova sends hopeful New Year's greetings
Journalist Ekaterina Duntsova, who has been suspended from the presidential election , also addresses Russians in a New Year's message. "The heart of each of us is full of hope that things will get better in the New Year. (...) And those who are dear to us are with us, not somewhere far away, risking their lives while performing tasks whose goals cannot really be explained to us," Duntsova notes. "New Year is when we live in peace. With ourselves and our neighbors," she says. Finally, she calls for unity: "Only together can we bring the future back to our country!"
22:16 Medvedev calls on Russians to fight neo-fascism at New Year
In a video address published on Telegram, Dmitry Medvedev congratulates Russians on the New Year. The deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council and former Russian president also says that his "thoughts are with those on the front". He calls on Russians to "make 2024 the year of the final defeat of neo-fascism". He also repeats Putin's claim that Russia invaded Ukraine to fight "neo-Nazis".
21:55 Pope prays for "the martyred Ukrainian people"
Pope Francis emphasizes the importance of gratitude and hope during the solemn service on New Year's Eve with a view to the new year. The 87-year-old head of the Catholic Church delivers the sermon at the vespers service with the traditional hymn of praise "Te Deum" in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Following the Angelus prayer, he calls for prayers for all countries suffering from war: "Let us not stop praying for the peoples suffering from wars: for the martyred Ukrainian people, for the Palestinian and Israeli people, for the Sudanese people and for many others." The Pope refuses to take sides in Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. He called for an end to the fighting, but blamed "several empires" for Russia's war. "At the end of the year, let us dare to ask: How many people have lost their lives in armed conflicts? How many dead? And how much destruction, how much suffering, how much poverty?" he preaches.
21:27 BBC report: Russia sentences student to four years in prison for treason
BBC News Russian Service reports that a court in the North Caucasus has sentenced 18-year-old Kevin Lik to four years in prison for treason. According to the report, this is the first time that a schoolboy has been convicted of "espionage". According to the BBC, the court report accuses Lik of "conducting visual observations" and photographing the "deployment sites" of the Russian military unit in Maikop from December 23, 2021 to February 8, 2023. Lik allegedly sent these photos to the email account of a "representative of a foreign state". Addresses and photos of Maikop military units can be found on the Internet, BBC emphasizes. According to the BBC, the age of the convicted man and his academic achievements are said to be mitigating circumstances. Lik is said to have won the German Language Olympiad in Adygeya four times and was also a medal winner at the 2021 History Olympiad.
20:50 Navalny sends New Year's greetings from the Arctic Circle
Imprisoned Kremlin opponent Alexei Navalny sends "Arctic hugs and polar greetings" from the remote "Polar Wolf" prison camp in the far north of Russia. The 47-year-old sent the personal New Year greeting to his subscribers on social media. Navalny writes there that he misses his family, his parents and his brother very much. "I even miss the opportunity to insult those who send stupid, identical congratulations and pictures to the entire list of recipients on WhatsApp on New Year's Eve. It used to make me angry, but now I think: this is so sweet," the opposition figure's message reads. Navalny's post is illustrated with an image created with the help of artificial intelligence. The picture shows Navalny with his wife, daughter and son.

Following the tournament results, the Kazakh junior team took the first place. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/15yo-kazakh-boxer-pockets-gold-at-int-l-tournament_a3490420/ | 2024-01-01T05:45:25Z |
When the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund stunned the golf world in June with an out-of-nowhere announcement of an agreement between the two warring entities, their stated intention was to formalize their agreement for the future of golf by the end of the 2023 calendar year.
As the clock hit midnight Eastern Time on New Year's Eve, no agreement was announced, and all signs appeared to point to a delay.
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan sent a memo to Tour players on Sunday afternoon insisting that they "have made meaningful progress" in negotiations, and that they were trying to extend the deadline. Specifics on what that meant, or what the new deadline is, were not given.
That's not necessarily a dire sign; the June agreement was, in effect, only a pledge to halt legal hostilities between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and LIV Golf. Many parties involved noted that there was always the possibility of a delay in completing a complicated merger that charted the future of the men's professional game.
"We operate in good faith and I see that on both sides," Monahan said in September at the Tour Championship. "And that framework agreement, which is an agreement to reach an agreement, put us in a position to reach an agreement ... If you saw the amount of conversation and the time that the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and PIF are spending working forward from a framework to a definitive, I think would you see the sincerity of the efforts there."
More recently, as it became obvious that there were still deep divides between the key stakeholders, rhetoric changed from certainty to reframed optimism.
"I am confident a deal will get done in some way," Tiger Woods said earlier in December at the Hero World Challenge. "Whether that comes Dec. 31 or is pushed back, we're all — all sides understand we're working together. There are no lawsuits. Everyone's understanding what that looks like, and we're all progressing going forward. Everyone's working right now with no animosity. We're trying to work to try and get a deal done for the Tour and for all parties involved."
However, there are external indications that this agreement might not be proceeding as smoothly as its principals would like. The PGA Tour has engaged with other outside investors, a move that would blunt the PIF's key advantage: overwhelming financial resources. In December, the Tour announced it was negotiating with a group of outside investors made up of several major professional sports team owners.
The Tour needs an infusion of capital because, thanks to the PIF, it's found itself in an unsustainable financial arms race. As Saudi riches lured away big names with monstrous sums, the Tour hiked purses and guarantees to its players past what it could comfortably bear.
Another concern for the two entities: the interest of the United States government, which is eyeing the agreement closely. A pledge between the PGA Tour and LIV not to poach one another's players was scrapped due to antitrust concerns, and LIV finally took advantage of that in December.
Perhaps as a reminder that money still runs the professional game, PIF riches enticed Jon Rahm — once thought of as an unshakable defender of the PGA Tour — to join LIV Golf. Rumors have persisted that other players would join Rahm before the LIV season officially begins in January.
The PGA Tour season begins later this week with the Sentry, the Hawaii tournament which welcomes last year's (eligible) champions and players who finished in the top 50 of last year's FedEx Cup. The star-studded field includes every top player on Tour last year with the exception of Rory McIlroy, who's staying home, and Rahm, for obvious reasons. | https://www.wokv.com/news/national/pga-tour-saudis-fail/XITIQJSUFC3D3APYIGNAXZJBZM/ | 2024-01-01T05:45:25Z |
China's manufacturing activity slows in December in latest sign the economy is still struggling
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. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-12915813/Chinas-manufacturing-activity-slows-December-latest-sign-economy-struggling.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-01-01T05:45:25Z |

FPSO Sepetiba will be the 3rd to produce the Mero field, in the Santos Basin, which will gain two more units by 2025
A Petrobras This Sunday (Dec 31, 2023) began the operation of its newest platform ship: the FPSO Sepetiba. The unit began producing in the pre-salt Santos Basin and is anchored in the Mero field. FPSO is the acronym in English for floating unit that produces, stores and transfers the oil produced to shuttle tankers. Here's the complete of the statement (PDF – 334 kB).
The ship has the capacity to produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil and compress up to 12 million cubic meters of gas per day. It is equipped with technologies to increase production efficiency and, in addition, enable carbon capture activities, when CO2-rich gas is reinjected into the reservoir, reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
“For Petrobras, high productivity and decarbonization go hand in hand because, when carrying out our activities, we have as a parameter sustainability in business, as well as in the environment”said the president of Petrobras, Jean Paul Prates.
The unit will be operated by SBM Offshorea Dutch group that has a charter contract with Petrobras and was also responsible for building the ship.
Sepetiba is the 5th platform opened this year by Petrobras and the 3rd to operate in Mero. The field will gain two more units by 2026, which are foreseen in the state-owned company's Strategic Plan 2024-2028: The FPSO Duque de Caxias, which should enter into operation in 2024, and the ship Alexandre de Gusmão, in 2025.
“We overcame the challenge of putting five units into operation this year alone. This demonstrates Petrobras’ technical capacity, our intention to invest in production growth and, consequently, in the development of Brazil”declared the director of Engineering, Technology and Innovation at Petrobras, Carlos José Travassos.

French President Emmanuel Macron called for unity in the country in his New Year’s Eve address Sunday as it prepares for the 2024 Olympic Games, after a difficult year for his government.
Speaking from the gardens of the Elysee Palace, with the flags of the Olympic nations behind him, he promised a civic and economic “rearmament” for the country.
And evoking the memory of former European Union leader Jacques Delors, who died on Wednesday, he said voters would have a decisive choice to make in June’s European elections.
They would have choose between “continuing Europe or blocking it”, he said.
“We will have to make the choice of a stronger, more sovereign Europe in the light of the legacy of Jacques Delors.”
Macron was speaking at the end of a troubled year in which his government forced through deeply unpopular pensions reforms and faced summer riots over the police killing of youths.
More recently, the government passed a controversial immigrations bill with the backing of the far right, creating divisions within its own ranks.
And Macron himself came under fire earlier this month for comments he made supporting film icon Gerard Depardieu, who is charged with rape and facing a litany of sexual assault claims.
He has also faced criticism for his handling of the crisis in the Middle East that followed Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel and the subsequent Israeli response.
France would not forget the hostages held by Hamas, he said Sunday, or the 41 French citizens killed during their attack.
But his call last week for a lasting ceasefire in Gaza during a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has so far fallen on deaf ears. | https://www.digitaljournal.com/world/macron-calls-for-unity-as-france-prepares-to-host-olympics/article | 2024-01-01T05:45:30Z |

20:20 Kiev's air force chief celebrates defense successes
In an annual report for 2023, Ukrainian air force chief Oleshchuk praised the number of air defense missiles shot down in his country. Overall, 85% of the combat drones and cruise missiles used by the Russian military against targets in Ukraine were shot down. Ballistic missile defense had also become more effective thanks to the Patriot systems delivered at the beginning of 2023. The information could not be independently verified. "With increasing combat experience and the receipt of additional weapons from partners, air defense has become stronger every day," writes Oleshchuk on Telegram. "We are waiting for more systems that will be able to intercept ballistic missiles."
20:08 After attack on Belgorod: Russian cities cancel fireworks displays
Administrations of Russian cities are canceling fireworks events in connection with the shelling of Belgorod. This is reported by the authorities of Nizhny Novgorod, Ufa, Perm, Orenburg, Penza, Magadan and Blagoveshchensk, according to BBC News Russia. The festive fireworks display has also been canceled in St. Petersburg, but the entertainment program is to remain unchanged. According to the BBC, the cancellations are a consequence of the Ukrainian rocket attack on Belgorod, in which at least 24 people were killed. No mourning for the victims has been declared in Russia.
19:42 Klitschko announces a day of mourning in Kiev on January 1
The mayor of the Ukrainian capital Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, has announced a day of mourning in the capital on January 1 for the people killed in the Russian attacks on Saturday. Klitschko announced this on his Telegram channel . In terms of the number of civilian casualties, the attack on the capital on December 29 was the most serious since the start of the war. According to the report, 18 people were killed in the attack. According to Klitschko, the rescue forces continued their search and clean-up operations on Sunday.
18:59 Media report: 18-year-old Russian soldier dies in Ukraine
According to media reports, an 18-year-old Russian soldier has died in the war in Ukraine. Less than three months are said to have passed between the signing of the contract and the death of Stanislav Silchenkov. His mother told the BBC that Silchenkov signed the contract on September 5 and died at the front on November 17. It was only in April 2023 that the Duma in Russia passed a law for the rapid recruitment of high school graduates. Previously, Russian laws required that a future soldier must complete at least three months of compulsory military service before entering the service. According to a British broadcaster, Silchenkov is the first known Russian casualty born in 2005. The broadcaster also pointed out that the training of Russian military personnel before deployment to the front would in many cases only last a few days. Even in the Soviet Union, conscripts were trained for four to six months before being sent to Afghanistan, according to the broadcaster's study.
18:30 Ukraine: Patriot systems are said to have shot down 15 Russian missiles
According to Ukrainian media reports citing the Ukrainian air force, the Patriot air defense systems are said to have already shot down 15 Russian missiles since their first deployment in May 2023. Air Force spokesman Yurii Ihnat said on national television: "On May 4, the first missile was successfully intercepted. The count started from that moment." In early May, the Ukrainian air force claimed to have shot down a Russian Kh-47 Kinschal ballistic missile for the first time since the start of the war. In April, Ukraine received its first two Patriot systems from the USA and Germany. The Patriot system is one of the best air defense systems in the world and allows Ukraine to shoot down ballistic missiles, reducing the risk of infrastructure damage and civilian casualties from Russian attacks.
17:58 Solidarity action in Kiev commemorates Ukrainian prisoners of war from Mariupol
Ukrainian media report that dozens of people are taking part in an action in support of Ukrainian prisoners of war in Kiev. Under the slogan "A second new year in captivity", family members of prisoners of war from Mariupol are gathering in the Ukrainian capital. With posters such as "Free Azov", "Azov saved Ukraine, who will save Azov" or "I want a prisoner exchange" and a human chain, they want to remember those who are still in Russian captivity, according to media reports. The relatives also want to draw attention to the urgency of returning their captive relatives home. After the withdrawal of the Ukrainian military from the steelworks, they are waiting for an exchange.
17:23 Russia: Number of dead in Belgorod rises to 24
Russia laments a high number of civilian casualties in the war of aggression against Ukraine at the turn of the year. In the city of Belgorod near the border, the authorities have counted 24 dead and more than 100 injured following Ukrainian attacks, according to Governor Gladkov. The Russian military claims that Ukraine also used internationally banned cluster munitions. Expressly in retaliation for Belgorod, the Russian army shelled the nearby eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Saturday evening, where authorities say 28 people were injured. "Without a doubt, our region has never experienced such a level of aggression," Gladkov wrote on the social network Telegram. "These were the worst consequences of shelling in almost two years." According to official Russian figures, 44 buildings in Belgorod were hit by the attacks on Friday and Saturday. There was another missile alert on Sunday. Citizens are said to have complained that shelters were not open everywhere.
16:54 Selensky honors soldiers for "protecting Ukraine"
In a video message on the online service X, Ukrainian President Zelensky honors members of the Ukrainian armed forces, including the air force, navy, secret service and paramedics. Zelensky writes: "I have honored almost 700 of our soldiers with state awards these days." They had all proven their worth on the front line in protecting Ukraine and the Ukrainian population. "These are the people, the brave Ukrainians who protect us all on December 31, January 1, every holiday and every working day. They are the strength and pride of our people. And my special thanks go to those who are now on combat duty, at combat posts or performing combat tasks," it continues
16:22 Ukraine: Over 350,000 Russian soldiers are said to have died in the war
According to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Russia is said to have lost 359,230 soldiers in the war since its invasion of Ukraine last year. Among the material losses, the General Staff counts 5977 tanks, 11,070 armored combat vehicles and 6591 drones as well as 329 military jets. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine shares a list of losses on the online service X together with a song line by US country singer Brad Paisley.
15:56 Governor: Infrastructure in Kropyvnytskyi damaged by Russian attack
Governor Raikovich announced on his Telegram channel that the Kirovohrad region was under Russian fire. "A power line and an outbuilding were damaged in Kropyvnytskyi.

15:23 Zelenskyi: Military presents strategy for 2024
Ukrainian President Zelensky writes on his Telegram channel that the military presented him with an action plan for 2024 at the final meeting on Saturday. "We have summarized the military results of the year. We analyzed the results of combat operations and our decisions. What did we do right and what could we have done better? Taking into account these conclusions, forecasts and our capabilities, we have defined a strategy for the deployment of the defense forces for the coming year," Selensky writes. The president does not provide further details.
14:47 Putin at New Year: Russia will "never" retreat
In his New Year's speech, Russian President Putin assures that his country will "never" retreat. Russia had "fiercely defended" its interests in 2023, he said in his televised New Year's address. "We have proven many times that we can solve the most difficult tasks and that we will never back down, because no power can divide us," he emphasized. And even if he does not mention Ukraine directly, there are a number of allusions. For example, he explicitly thanks the Russian soldiers, "our heroes". But unlike last year, when the president appeared with military representatives in uniform at his side, this time he declared 2024 to be the "Year of the Family". In 2023, "we defended our national interests hard, our freedom and our security, our values", he says.
14:14 ZDF team hit in rocket attack on hotel in Kharkiv
According to the broadcaster, a ZDF television crew was hit in a Russian rocket attack on a hotel in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. The seven-strong team was in the hotel on Saturday when the missile hit, according to ZDF. The Ukrainian translator was hit by debris and seriously injured. One of the team's security guards was also injured. "This is another attack by Russia on the free press. We hope that the injured colleagues will recover quickly," said ZDF editor-in-chief Bettina Schausten in a statement. According to this information, the hotel is often used by foreign journalists because it has a bunker. The Russian army has repeatedly shelled hotels where journalists or volunteers are staying, including in the cities of Kramatorsk, Zaporizhia and Dnipro. According to Ukrainian reports, 28 people have been injured in several rocket attacks on Kharkiv. The Russian Ministry of Defense in Moscow confirmed the attack on the hotel. According to a military spokesperson, the hotel was fired upon because representatives of the Ukrainian secret services had planned to fire on the Russian city of Belgorod from there.
13:43 Russia claims to have killed intelligence officers - Kiev contradicts
The Russian Ministry of Defense's claim that Ukrainian intelligence officers were killed in the attack on Kharkiv on 30 December is "the latest nonsense from the aggressor state", says Ukrainian military intelligence spokesman Andriy Yusov. The Russian Defense Ministry had claimed that Ukrainian intelligence officers, including members of the Ukrainian special forces unit Kraken, were killed in the attack on the Kharkiv Palace Hotel because they were allegedly involved in "preparing actions on Russian territory".

It was a "deliberate, indiscriminate attack against a civilian target". Ukraine and its allies rejected the accusations. US representative John Kelly said:. "Russia could end this war today." At the same time, he called for "protection of all civilians on all sides in any conflict".
23:33 Kiev: Drone attack repelled
According to the military administration, Ukrainian air defense systems in the region around Kiev have repelled a Russian drone attack. This was announced by the local military administration via its Telegram channel.
22:11 Three dead and six injured in Russian attacks on Donetsk
Three civilians are reported to have been killed and six injured in Russian missile attacks on frontline communities in the Donetsk region, according toThe Kyiv Independent, citing the Prosecutor General's Office. In the embattled town of Avdiivka, a Russian missile hit a residential garden, killing a 79-year-old resident, according to the report. According to the report, the Russian attack also hit a house in the village of Pokrovsk, killing its 73-year-old owner. Russian forces are also said to have attacked Selidove. They reportedly killed a 60-year-old woman and injured her 36-year-old son and three other civilians. According to reports, four people were hospitalized. The Attorney General's Office has declared that it has launched an investigation into the attack as a suspected war crime. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Energy reports that Russian forces attacked one of the region's thermal power plants near the front line and halted electricity production. The Ministry of Energy also reports that 16 substations were left without power, leading to blackouts in the area.
21:42 St. Petersburg: "Unauthorized" memorial plaque for Prigozhin appears
A memorial plaque to "Wagner" boss Prigozhin is said to have been placed on the wall of his St. Petersburg office at Lieutenant Schmidt Embankment number 7, according to Radio Liberty, citing a report by "Fontanka". "Fontanka" posted photos of the memorial plaque on its Telegram channel. "The Hero of the Russian Federation, head of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin, worked in this house from 2003 to 2023," the plaque reads. Apparently, the installation of the memorial plaque was not approved by the city council. As Fontanka reports, the owner of the building, Bar Service LLC, had previously approached the city's cultural committee with a proposal to install a plaque. However, the authorities had rejected this. Prigozhin died in August 2023 as a result of a private plane crash over the Tver region. Officially, the causes of the disaster are unknown. The funeral of Prigozhin, who bore the title of Hero of Russia, was not held in public, without the state honors due in such cases.

Miami Dolphins @ Baltimore Ravens
Lamar Jackson sealed up the MVP award by going 12-for-14 for 255 yards (18.2 YPA!) with a 3:0 TD:INT ratio (and 25 rushing yards) in the first half, and his fourth touchdown pass came during his first attempt of the second. Jackson was the top QB this week during his best fantasy performance of the season, also posting an EPA/play in the 100th percentile and a completion percentage over expectation (+23.6) in the 99th. He finished with five TD passes, as Baltimore scored a season-high 56 points while locking up the AFC’s No. 1 seed.
Zay Flowers caught a long touchdown and racked up 103 receiving yards, while Isaiah Likely pulled down two scores. Both saw just three targets apiece.
Gus Edwards and Justice Hill both scored, with the former dominating the carries and the latter the passing-down work. J.K. Dobbins would have definitely finished as a top-five fantasy back if health cooperated.
Rashod Bateman couldn’t secure a long catch early after suffering a bad drop Monday night. Maybe injuries are to blame, but his massively disappointing season looks even worse when considering his QB will win MVP.
Tyler Huntley threw a touchdown during his lone attempt and also posted a perfect Passer Rating, proving Jackson is a system quarterback (says the guy who’s ripping up his 45/1 Brock Purdy MVP ticket through tears).
The depleted Dolphins offense struggled after an easy opening-drive TD, with Tua Tagovailoa posting his second-lowest YPA (6.2) of the season. Tagovailoa faced a Baltimore defense allowing the fewest points per game and the second-fewest yards per game since acquiring Roquan Smith last year, while Tyreek Hill dropped his easiest potential touchdown of the season in the end zone. Tagovailoa left with a shoulder injury, and his status will be key during Week 18's matchup with Buffalo for the AFC title.
De’Von Achane took advantage of Raheem Mostert’s absence, totaling 137 yards with a score. The rookie was a top-10 fantasy RB this week and is averaging 8.0 YPC on the season. Achane is clearly the biggest wild card during 2024 fantasy drafts.
Arizona Cardinals @ Philadelphia Eagles
Jalen Hurts threw three touchdowns and posted a CPOE (+17.7) in the 97th percentile but failed to run in a score for just the second time over his last eight games. Hurts attempted only 23 passes during Arizona's upset win, as Philadelphia possessed the ball just 20 minutes Sunday (thanks to the Cardinals rushing for 221 yards and a 99-yard pick-six by the Eagles).
D'Andre Swift had just five carries for 16 yards at halftime and finished with only one target during a hugely disappointing performance in the fantasy championship. Arizona had allowed the most schedule-adjusted fantasy points to running backs over the last five weeks by a significant margin, and the Eagles entered double-digit home favorites.
Julio Jones caught two TDs in the first half but finished with just two targets. He could be looking at an expanded role moving forward with DeVonta Smith now injured and in a walking boot.
After setting an NFL record with six straight games with 125+ receiving yards, A.J. Brown has averaged just 63.5 yards over his last eight.
James Conner made a sick one-handed TD catch and ran in the late game-winning score (replays later showed his knee may have been down just before crossing the end zone). Conner rushed for the second-most yards (128) this week and turned in his best fantasy performance of the season against an Eagles defense that entered allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this year.
Kyler Murray also had his best fantasy game of the season, throwing three touchdowns Sunday. Philadelphia has now ceded the second-most passing scores (34) in the league, just one fewer than Washington. The Cardinals dropped out of the top three in next year’s draft with the win, as Murray may have prolonged his stay in Arizona (while costing him Marvin Harrison Jr.).
The Eagles have been outscored 30-0 in the third quarter over the last two games, as Jonathan Gannon won during his homecoming.
Los Angeles Rams @ New York Giants
Kyren Williams ran for three touchdowns while finishing as this week's top fantasy back. He's been a top-10 RB in five of six weeks since returning from injury and looks like a first-round fantasy pick in 2024. Given his ADP, Williams has an argument as this year's fantasy MVP, even while missing four games.
Matthew Stafford threw for 300+ yards but just one score. He also had the second-longest active streak (behind Kenny Pickett) without throwing a pick (170 passes) end when he tossed two interceptions Sunday.
Demarcus Robinson led Los Angeles with 10 targets, while Puka Nacua didn't score during an 80-yard catch.
Tyrod Taylor was having a relatively quiet game before hitting Darius Slayton for an 80-yard house call in the third quarter. He took a bunch of sacks as expected but led New York with 40 rushing yards, finishing as a top-10 fantasy QB this week while available at the DFS minimum.
Saquon Barkley rushed for fewer than 40 yards for the second time in his last three games, and Taylor missed him wide-open during a late two-point conversation attempt to go ahead.
Wan'Dale Robinson led New York with nine targets and scored a rushing touchdown.
The Giants have 19 takeaways over their last seven games but have taken a whopping 83 sacks this season — 20 more than the next most.
This game had a long punt-return TD and four missed kicks, including three extra points.
San Francisco 49ers @ Washington Commanders
Brock Purdy bounced back with a nice game, making a great play in the fourth quarter to seal the win. He also threw a dime to Brandon Aiyuk while becoming San Francisco's all-time single-season passing leader. Purdy lost another potential TD when Kyle Juszczyk dropped a pass on the opening drive, but he now has the most games with a 120+ Passer Rating over his first two seasons in NFL history.
Christian McCaffrey left late in the third quarter with a calf injury. He saw 19 opportunities before departing but failed to score after being the most favored position player ever to do so in a game. Maybe CMC shouldn't have played 100% of the snaps during Monday night's blowout with an upcoming short week? A finally healthy Elijah Mitchell took over and finished with 17 carries and as a top-12 fantasy back this week. With the 49ers locking up the No. 1 seed Sunday, CMC has three weeks to rest if needed, and Mitchell could be a viable DFS option in Week 18.
Aiyuk recorded his seventh 100-yard game of the season (and he's missed a contest), while Deebo Samuel caught a short touchdown after arriving in a "BCB for MVP" vest.
Sam Howell continued to struggle while producing just 10 points. The game’s over/under moved 7.5 points after Jacoby Brissett was named starter but curiously never corrected after he suffered a hamstring injury in practice late in the week.
Brian Robinson returned and looked good (4.9 YPC), but game script allowed just nine carries. The Commanders only possessed the ball for 21 minutes Sunday.
Terry McLaurin would be a fantasy star if he ever played with a league-average quarterback.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Kansas City Chiefs
Isiah Pacheco got every KC RB carry and rushed for a career-high 130 yards during his return. He shook off last week's concussion and a shoulder injury, securing all seven targets, including Patrick Mahomes' only TD pass Sunday. Pacheco had 54 yards from scrimmage during KC's opening drive and finished as the No. 2 fantasy back during championship week.
Travis Kelce, meanwhile, put up his worst game of the season during the crucial fantasy week. He hasn’t scored in six straight games, averaging just 29.3 receiving yards over his last three.
Rashee Rice had a 67-yard catch and finished with a career-high 127. It was the rookie's first deep reception (20+ air yards) of his career (and the longest pass play of KC's season), with many more to come. Rice, who trails only Tyreek Hill in yards after the catch, should be considered a top-12 fantasy WR at 2024 draft tables.
Mahomes is averaging his fewest passing yards per game and YPA in his career this season, but he once again dealt with a horrific drop that ended a drive instead of going for a touchdown late in the second quarter — this time by Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Kansas City has the most drops in the league this year.
The Chiefs haven’t won the turnover battle in 10 straight games but are AFC West champs for the eighth year in a row anyway.
Jake Browning made some good throws, but Kansas City stuffed Cincinnati’s receivers, with none reaching 45 yards. Ja’Marr Chase could easily be fantasy’s top wideout in 2024, but he won’t be drafted that way coming off an injury-riddled season (including Joe Burrow).
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Seattle Seahawks
Seattle's once stout run defense has been one of the league's worst lately and allowed Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren to total 220 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns Sunday. Both were top-12 fantasy backs this week, and Harris could've had a third TD run but went down on his own inside the five to end the game. Harris continues to come up big during fantasy championship week in his career.
Pittsburgh’s running backs bogarted the touchdowns, but Mason Rudolph was extremely sharp. He got 11.4 YPA while taking just one sack and finished with a +22 CPOE in the 99th percentile. Rudolph certainly has an argument as the Steelers’ best option at quarterback even after Kenny Pickett is ready.
Mike Tomlin has still never had a losing season over 17 years as head coach.
Geno Smith played well, and DK Metcalf broke 100 yards despite Joey Porter Jr.’s coverage.
Kenneth Walker dominated carries during his return but saw just 10 of them in a game that saw Seattle possess the ball just 22 minutes. K9 ran in a touchdown, but a lack of volume hurt his fantasy day.
Atlanta Falcons @ Chicago Bears
Justin Fields was terrific while playing in the snow, finishing as this week's No. 3 fantasy QB. He threw a dime to DJ Moore and ran in his third score over the last four games. Chicago locked up the top pick of next year's draft (thanks to Carolina's loss Sunday) and has a fascinating decision ahead.
Moore wasn't lying when he said he was fully recovered from last week's ankle injury, erupting for the most receiving yards (159) Sunday and pulling down a touchdown. If you remove last week's dud when he injured his ankle during the game's first drive, Moore has been the No. 2 fantasy WR this season when playing with Fields.
Khalil Herbert broke 100 rushing yards and scored for the second straight week against a stingy Falcons run defense allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. He benefitted from D’Onta Foreman’s continued absence but lost a goal-line score to Roschon Johnson, yet Herbert showed how different his fantasy season could’ve been if he hadn’t suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 5. Herbert led the NFL in rush yards over expectation last season and shouldn’t be forgotten during 2024 fantasy drafts.
Desmond Ridder struggles mightily on the road, but Taylor Heinicke said hold my beer Sunday. Heinicke was picked off three times and posted a -27.1 CPOE in the first percentile. In Heinicke's defense, the Bears stop unit leads the NFL in EPA/play since Week 11.
Drake London would be a fantasy star on a different offense, so his 2024 value greatly depends on what Atlanta does (or doesn’t do) during the offseason.
Bijan Robinson got 5.0 YPC against a stout run defense, but it was Tyler Allgeier who scored a 75-yard touchdown during his lone target. Chicago remains extremely vulnerable to receiving backs.
Younghoe Koo missed two field goals in the first quarter, while Atlanta fell just short of a 100+ yard touchdown during a return after a missed FG on the final play of the first half.
New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills
Josh Allen was 7-for-20 for 46 yards (2.3 YPA) in the first half and then missed an open Stefon Diggs for a possible 88-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Allen still had a fine fantasy game thanks to running in two scores, but he snapped his NFL-high streak of 23 straight games with a TD pass Sunday.
James Cook was predictably stuffed by the league’s toughest run defense, but his negative-four receiving yards were the real killer. Cook, Diggs and Gabe Davis combined for just 43 receiving yards on 13 targets.
Bailey Zappe had one completion for five yards and two picks in the first quarter, and his third interception was a pick-six early in the second. Zappe responded with a TD run on the next drive, as the Patriots were somehow down just six points at halftime despite committing four turnovers and missing a field goal.
Ezekiel Elliott scored his first rushing touchdown since Week 7 but has averaged just 2.8 YPC over his last five games.
Von Miller was a healthy scratch (coach’s decision).
New England opened the game with a kickoff return to the house.
Las Vegas Raiders @ Indianapolis Colts
Jonathan Taylor fumbled and isn’t going to be much of a receiving help while playing through a thumb injury. But he ran for 96 yards and a touchdown and will be a top-five RB in 2024 fantasy drafts.
Alec Pierce caught a 58-yard touchdown during his only target, leading the Colts in receiving Sunday.
Matt Gay missed a potentially crucial field goal in the fourth quarter, but Las Vegas was offsides, and he made the retry.
Aidan O'Connell attempted a career-high 47 passes, and a whopping 21 of them went to Davante Adams. Adams was the top-scoring fantasy receiver Sunday, when he pulled down two scores.
Zamir White saw 26 more opportunities and has acted as a true workhorse with Josh Jacobs out.
Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings
Jordan Love threw three touchdowns and ran in another while finishing as the No. 2 fantasy QB during championship week. He ended the season the way he started it: posting a big game despite seventh-round rookie Bo Melton being Green Bay’s leading receiver Sunday night.
Aaron Jones looked healthy while running for 120 yards for the second straight week, while AJ Dillon left the game with a stinger.
Jayden Reed caught two more touchdowns, as his impressive rookie season continued. He left with a chest injury but has plenty of time to heal up for the 2024 fantasy campaign.
Nick Mullens replaced an abysmal Jaren Hall in the second half, but he didn’t fare much better aside from a garbage-time TD with the score 30-3.
Justin Jefferson saw 10 targets, but Minnesota’s dreadful quarterback situation ruined the night of many fantasy managers counting on the star WR in their championship.
Whoever becomes the feature back in the Vikings offense next season has massive fantasy potential.
Happy New Year!
New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tampa Bay was shut out through three quarters, but Baker Mayfield got 9.4 YPA and threw two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. He also snapped his NFL-high streak without a two-interception game despite New Orleans still missing Marshon Lattimore.
Rachaad White had scored double-digit fantasy points in 10 straight games before failing to do so during championship week. White lost a fumble, but game script (11 carries) was the main culprit here, as Tampa Bay possessed the ball for just 23 minutes.
Chris Godwin was due for major touchdown regression having scored just once all season (before Sunday) despite seeing the sixth-most targets inside the 10-yard line.
Trey Palmer had a nice game but also couldn't keep his footing on a possible long TD catch and fumbled instead.
Jamaal Williams led New Orleans in carries (Alvin Kamara departed in the third quarter with an ankle injury), Juwan Johnson led the team with 12 targets (twice as many as Chris Olave) and Taysom Hill caught a touchdown during a frustrating game for Saints fantasy managers.
Tennessee Titans @ Houston Texans
C.J. Stroud has likely suffered multiple concussions this season, and he also took a major helmet-to-helmet hit early in the third quarter against the Cardinals in Week 11 (when the Texans were shutout at home in the second half). Give him a pass for not lighting it up during his return, and game script didn't ask the rookie QB to do much Sunday.
Nico Collins has averaged 100.7 receiving yards and scored all seven of his touchdowns at home this season; he’s averaged just 39.2 yards on the road. It’s likely meaningless moving forward, but maybe something to consider in DFS. There will be quite the debate between Collins and Tank Dell at fantasy draft tables next year.
Will Levis struggled early before leaving with an injury suffered during a sack fumble lost that went for a defensive touchdown. Ryan Tannehill was an improvement, but Tennessee managed just three points Sunday.
Derrick Henry totaled just 52 yards on 32 touches over two games versus the Texans this season after averaging 203.6 rushing yards and 2.0 touchdowns over his previous five games against Houston.
Carolina Panthers @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Travis Etienne Jr. topped 100 rushing yards for just the second time this season and added two rushing scores. He hadn't finished as a top-12 fantasy back since Week 8 (seven games) but was a top-five RB this week.
The Panthers were shut out, which robbed us from possibly seeing a linebacker attempt a field goal.
David Tepper, who's quickly taken over as the worst owner in the league with Daniel Snyder out, apparently threw a drink at a fan during the embarrassing loss.
Los Angeles Chargers @ Denver Broncos
Jarrett Stidham wasn't good Sunday, but a long touchdown to Lil'Jordan Humphrey was enough to beat a Chargers team that failed to reach the end zone. Russell Wilson isn't the long-term answer in Denver, but Stidham's performance Sunday confirmed the QB switch was purely for financial reasons.
Javonte Williams has gone eight straight games getting fewer than 4.0 YPC, including fewer than 3.0 in his last three. That’s certainly not the way his recovery from multi-ligament knee surgery was supposed to progress.
The Chargers botched a fake punt attempt late in the second quarter, while Austin Ekeler lost his fourth fumble of the season. It's been a forgettable year for Los Angeles. | https://www.wokv.com/news/national/week-17-wrap-who/C4GHNKNBI7PX6KWEYMQBR77FVY/ | 2024-01-01T05:45:32Z |

New Year's Eve sweeps across the globe, but wars cast a shadow on 2024
New Year's Day arrived to cheers from tens of thousands of beaming people in Times Square who were showered with confetti and hugs after watching the descent of the lighted ball marking the birth of 2024 with hope for some, even as the world's ongoing conflicts subdued celebrations and raised security concerns across the globe.
The march of midnight from time zone to time zone brought the new year first to places like Australia, where more than 1 million people watched a pyrotechnic display centered around Sydney´s famous Opera House and harbor bridge - a number of spectators equivalent to 1 in 5 of the city´s residents. It would be another 16 hours before New York reached 2024.
There were snapshots of joy from country to country as the new year was welcomed with optimism that its days will bring more joy than sorrow.
In Manhattan's Times Square, December Lee, 26, and Shadayah Lawrence, 25, of Columbus, Ohio, said their New York visit highlighted four years of traveling the globe.
"It is a good way to bring in the new year," Lee said.

Israeli strikes in central Gaza kill at least 35 as Netanyahu says war will continue for months
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) - Israeli strikes in central Gaza killed at least 35 people Sunday, hospital officials said, as fighting raged across the tiny enclave a day after Israel´s prime minister said the war will continue for "many more months," resisting international calls for a cease-fire.
The military said Israeli forces were operating in Gaza´s second-largest city, Khan Younis, and residents reported strikes in the central region, the latest focus of the nearly three-month air-and-ground war that has raised fears of a regional conflagration.
The U.S. military said its forces shot and killed several Iran-backed Houthi rebels when they tried to attack a cargo ship in the Red Sea, an escalation in a maritime conflict linked to the war. And an Israeli Cabinet minister suggested encouraging Gaza's population to emigrate, remarks that could worsen tensions with Egypt and other friendly Arab states.
Israel says it wants to destroy Hamas´ governing and military capabilities in Gaza, from where it launched its Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel. The militants killed some 1,200 people after breaking through Israel's extensive border defenses, shattering its sense of security. They also captured around 240 hostages, nearly half of whom were released during a temporary cease-fire agreement in November.
Just after midnight on New Year's Day, Hamas militants fired a barrage of rockets, setting off air raid sirens in southern and central Israel. No injuries were reported.

American democracy has overcome big stress tests since the 2020 election. More challenges are ahead
Over the past three years, the world's oldest democracy has been tested in ways not seen in decades.
A sitting president tried to overturn an election and his supporters stormed the Capitol to stop the winner from taking power. Supporters of that attack launched a campaign against local election offices, chasing out veteran administrators and pushing conservative states to pass new laws making it harder to vote.
At the same time, the past three years proved that American democracy was resilient.
Former President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results failed, blocked by the constitutional system's checks and balances, and he now faces both federal and state charges for those efforts. Then the voters stepped in. In every presidential battleground state, they rejected all candidates who supported Trump's stolen election lies and were running for statewide offices that had some oversight of elections.
The election infrastructure in the country performed well, with only scattered disruptions during the 2022 midterms. New voting laws, many of which are technical and incremental, had little discernable impact on actual voting.

Chief Justice Roberts casts a wary eye on the uses of artificial intelligence in the federal courts
WASHINGTON (AP) - Chief Justice John Roberts on Sunday turned his focus to the promise, and shortcomings, of artificial intelligence in the federal courts, in an annual report that made no mention of Supreme Court ethics or legal controversies involving Donald Trump.
Describing artificial intelligence as the "latest technological frontier," Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks come just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records, in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
"Always a bad idea," Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that "any use of AI requires caution and humility."
At the same time, though, the chief justice acknowledged that AI can make it much easier for people without much money to access the courts. "These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system," Roberts wrote.
The report came at the end of a year in which a series of stories questioned the ethical practices of the justices and the court responded to critics by adopting its first code of conduct. Many of those stories focused on Justice Clarence Thomas and his failure to disclose travel, other hospitality and additional financial ties with wealthy conservative donors including Harlan Crow and the Koch brothers. But Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also have been under scrutiny.

Russia launches fresh drone strikes in Ukraine after promising retaliation for Belgorod attack
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - Russia launched a fresh drone assault on Ukraine after promising that strikes on the Russian border city of Belgorod that killed 24 people Saturday "would not go unpunished."
The Ukrainian Air Force said Sunday that it had shot down 21 of 49 drones launched by Russian forces overnight.
The retaliatory Russian attack wounded 28 people in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, regional Gov. Oleh Syniehubov said. A hotel, kindergarten, apartment buildings, shops and administrative buildings sustained damage, according to the regional prosecutor´s office.
Russia's Defense Ministry said it had targeted "decision-making centers and military facilities" in Kharkiv. The ministry said the hit on the Kharkiv Palace Hotel had "destroyed representatives of the Main Intelligence Directorate and Ukrainian Armed Forces" involved in the "terrorist attack" in Belgorod.
Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said a British journalist was among the wounded, while public German broadcaster ZDF said Sunday that one of its television crews had been in the hotel. A Ukrainian translator was hit by debris and seriously wounded, and one of the team´s security guards also was injured, ZDF said in a statement.

North Korea's Kim orders military to 'thoroughly annihilate' US, South Korea if provoked
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his military to "thoroughly annihilate" the United States and South Korea if provoked, state media reported Monday, after he vowed to boost national defense to cope with what he called an unprecedented U.S.-led confrontation.
Kim is expected to ramp up weapons tests in 2024 ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November. Many experts say he likely believes his expanded nuclear arsenal would allow him to wrest U.S. concessions if former President Donald Trump is reelected.
In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
In a meeting on Sunday with commanding army officers, Kim said it is urgent to sharpen "the treasured sword" to safeguard national security, an apparent reference to his country´s nuclear weapons program. He cited "the U.S. and other hostile forces´ military confrontation moves," according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
Kim stressed that "our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment´s hesitation" if they opt for military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, KCNA said.

Colorado mother suspected of killing her 2 children and wounding a third arrested in United Kingdom
A Colorado mother suspected of killing two of her young children and injuring a third was arrested Saturday in the United Kingdom, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
Kimberlee Singler's 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son were found dead on Dec. 19 when police responded to a report of a burglary at their home. Police later said the report turned out to be unfounded.
Singler, 35, initially cooperated with police but disappeared during the investigation, said Ira Cronin, spokesperson for the Colorado Springs Police Department. Authorities were unable to apprehend her after obtaining an arrest warrant Tuesday on charges of murder and attempted murder, among other allegations.
Singler was not under surveillance and was last seen in Colorado Springs on Dec. 23, said Cronin.
Authorities did not provide further details on the overseas arrest, but said they are working with multiple law enforcement agencies.

California law banning most firearms in public is taking effect as the legal fight over it continues
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A California law that bans people from carrying firearms in most public places will take effect on New Year's Day, even as a court case continues to challenge the law.
A U.S. district judge issued a ruling Dec. 20 to block the law from taking effect, saying it violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and deprives people of their ability to defend themselves and their loved ones.
But on Saturday, a federal appeals court put a temporary hold on the district judge's ruling. The appeals court decision allows the law to go into effect as the legal fight continues. Attorneys are scheduled to file arguments to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in January and in February.
The law, signed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, prohibits people from carrying concealed guns in 26 places including public parks and playgrounds, churches, banks and zoos.
The ban applies regardless of whether the person has a permit to carry a concealed weapon. One exception is for privately owned businesses that put up signs saying people are allowed to bring guns on their premises.

US Navy helicopters fire at Yemen's Houthi rebels and kill several in latest Red Sea shipping attack
BEIRUT (AP) - The U.S. military said Sunday that its forces opened fire on Houthi rebels after they attacked a cargo ship in the Red Sea, killing several of them in an escalation of the maritime conflict linked to the war in Gaza. "We're going to act in a self-defense going forward," a White House official said.
In a series of statements, the U.S. Central Command said the crew of the USS Gravely destroyer first shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired at the Singapore-flagged Maersk Hangzhou late Saturday, after the vessel reported getting hit by a missile earlier that evening as it sailed through the Southern Red Sea.
Four small boats then attacked the same cargo ship with small arms fire early Sunday and rebels tried to board the vessel, the U.S. Navy said.
Next, the USS Gravely and helicopters from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier responded to the Maersk Hangzhou's distress call and issued verbal warnings to the attackers, who responded by firing on the helicopters.
"The U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defense," sinking three of the four boats and killing the people on board while the fourth boat fled the area, the U.S. Central Command said. No harm to U.S. personnel or equipment, or casualties from the cargo ship, were reported.

At the stroke of midnight, the New Year gives a clean slate for long-elusive resolutions
NEW YORK (AP) - It´s an annual end-of-year exercise in futility for many. But a clean slate awaits at the stroke of midnight for the next round of resolutions.
From the first spray of fireworks to the closing chorus of "Auld Lang Syne" 366 days into the future - 2024 is a leap year - it could be the year for finally achieving long-elusive goals, fulfilling aspirations and being resolute on all those New Year resolutions.
"As humans, we are creatures that aspire," said Omid Fotuhi, a social psychologist who is a motivation and performance researcher.
"The fact that we have goals, the fact that we want to set goals is just a manifestation of that internal and almost universal desire to want to stretch, to want to reach, to want to expand and grow," said Fotuhi, the director of learning innovation at Western Governors University Labs and a research associate at the University of Pittsburgh.
"New Year´s resolutions are one of those ways in which we do that," he said. "There´s something very liberating about a fresh start. Imagine starting on a blank canvas. Anything is possible." | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-12915815/AP-News-Brief-12-04-m-EST.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-01-01T05:45:33Z |
Key player
Packers QB Jordan Love
One quarterback who played college football in Utah looked like he knew what he was doing Sunday night and it was not the Vikings' Jaren Hall. Love's receivers were wide open all night, and after a shaky start, Love didn't miss them. With D.J. Wonnum injured, the Vikings struggled to get any pressure on Love, leaving their depleted secondary vulnerable. Love, who had looked discombobulated against the Brian Flores defense at Lambeau Field in October, was 24 of 33 for 256 yards, three passing touchdowns, one rushing TD and, crucially, no turnovers.
Key play
Jaren Hall's first-quarter interception
The Vikings handed the starting quarterback job to Hall because of all of Nick Mullens' turnovers, and it didn't take long for Hall to fall victim to the team's plague. With six minutes left in the first quarter, he threw behind third-string tight end Johnny Mundt and the ball bounced up off his hands and was intercepted by Corey Ballentine at the Vikings' 33.
The first interception of Hall's career — the 11th thrown by a Vikings QB in five weeks — led to a 33-yard touchdown pass from Love to Jayden Reed two plays later and a 10-0 Green Bay advantage. The Vikings never recovered.
Eleven of the Vikings' 32 turnovers this season have come in the first quarter. The Packers, for good measure, also turned Hall's fumble into a touchdown near the end of the first half.
Key number
2-6
The U.S. Bank Stadium crowd was exhilarated by Kirk Cousins' appearance (and the reappearance of shirtless Kirko Chainz) to sound the Gjallarhorn before the opening kickoff, but it was all downhill from there for the home fans. The Vikings finished their home schedule 2-6, tying the 1984 team for the second-most home losses in franchise history. Their only wins came against the Saints and the 49ers, the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs.
Up next
at Detroit, noon, Sunday
Two weeks after the Lions claimed the NFC North at U.S. Bank Stadium with a 30-24 win, the teams meet again, and the Lions will be mad. Vikings fans may have hoped Detroit would have nothing to play for in this game, but after getting oh-so-close to the No. 2 seed on Saturday against the Cowboys, the Lions will be itching to make a statement and the Vikings are the unfortunate team in front of them. For what it's worth, the Vikings were not eliminated Sunday, but need a win and a lot of help to earn a wild-card berth.

Petrol prices July 2023
Gasoline, the apps to spend less and save
The price of gas has increased noticeably. There are some very useful apps that will allow you to save some money with each fill up. Here are all the details in the precise article written by the website www.pianetacellulare.it.
With the outbreak of the pandemic and the international tension of recent years, the price of many goods and services has increased dramatically. Even that relating to petrol and fuels in general was no exception.
In the worst periods, the cost per liter of gas rose above the 2 euro threshold, throwing millions of Italians into panic. In recent weeks, fortunately the situation has improved slightly. The average self-service cost of petrol and diesel has fallen to around 1.80 euros per litre, however at much higher levels than we were used to before 2020.
In this article, however, we don't want to talk about petrol in general, but to give you some indications on the various apps you can download on your smartphone, so as to save you a few euros with each fill up.
There are apps that can help you discover pumps gas most convenient in your area. Furthermore, they will also give you many other valuable information to obtain various advantages. Here's everything you need to know.
The apps that we want you to discover in this text will allow you to obtain a significant economic advantage, but not only that. In fact, they will give you various information on price changes at the distributors in your vicinity, they will make you keep track of your consumption over time and they will give you information on all the money you have spent, giving you – in a certain sense – advice on about saving.
These apps will use your location, like Google Maps, and will also give you valuable advice on the best routes to take, so you can save as much fuel as possible.
Prices Gas, available for both Android and iOS, is an app that lets you locate gas stations along your route with lower-than-average prices. Furthermore, the app allows you to compare the prices of petrol, diesel and all other fuels at a national level.
A very famous app, then, is Waze. In addition to being an application to download for navigation, it will also allow – through the location – to find the cheapest petrol pumps along the route you are taking.
Waze allows you to compare various prices and also filter the results based on the area and type of fuel you need.
Fuelio, on the other hand, is an app that tracks fuel consumption over time and all the costs associated with it. It will also be possible to have the app calculate petrol consumption in relation to the distance traveled and the quantity of fuel used.

Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen expressed hopes on Monday for Taipei and Beijing to seek “long-term peaceful coexistence” and said future relations should be decided by Taiwan’s “democratic procedures”.
Taiwan is less than two weeks from an election, closely watched from Beijing to Washington as it determines the future of the self-ruled island’s relations with an increasingly bellicose China.
Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory to be seized one day.
It has halted high-level communications with Tsai’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government since her 2016 election, and ramped up military, diplomatic and economic pressure on the island.
In her last New Year speech before leaving office in May, Tsai expressed hopes to restart communications with Beijing.
“We hope that the two sides (of the Taiwan Strait) will resume healthy and sustainable exchanges as soon as possible,” she said.
“We also hope that the two sides will jointly seek a long-term and stable way of peaceful coexistence under peace, parity, democracy and dialogue.”
But Tsai — whom Beijing hates as she has refused to acknowledge China’s territorial claims — also stood firm on Taiwan’s need to defend its democracy.
“Facing the renewed conflict between democracy, freedom and authoritarianism around the world, Taiwan’s only choice in the future is still to continue to uphold democracy and protect peace.”
Tsai was also asked to comment on Chinese President Xi Jinping’s New Year’s Eve speech, in which he said Taiwan “will surely be reunified” with China.
“Decisions must be made with the common will of the Taiwanese people. We are a democratic country after all,” she told reporters after her speech.
“What kind of relationship we will form with China in the future must be determined by our democratic procedures to make the final decision.”
Xi has previously said China would never rule out the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control.
Tsai’s ruling DPP has largely campaigned on a platform of sovereignty separate from China, and their candidate, Vice President Lai Ching-te, has in past described himself as a “pragmatic worker of Taiwan independence”.
Opposition Kuomintang (KMT) party’s candidate Hou Yu-ih and Taiwan People’s Party Ko Wen-je have pledged friendlier ties with China, saying Lai’s pro-independence remarks could undermine Taiwan’s security. | https://www.digitaljournal.com/world/taiwans-president-tsai-urges-china-to-seek-peaceful-coexistence/article | 2024-01-01T05:45:36Z |

Attacks on rescue workers, many arrests in Berlin
It's a New Year like many years before - with celebrations, fireworks and emergency services in a state of emergency. At least there are no major riots in Berlin, but there are once again attacks on officers and emergency services. New Year's Eve ends in tragedy for a young man in Koblenz.
People all over Germany welcomed in the New Year with lots of fireworks. In Berlin, tens of thousands celebrated at the big New Year's Eve party at the Brandenburg Gate, where there were fireworks for the first time in several years. After last year's riots, the celebrations in the capital took place under tighter security measures. Although there were no major riots, the police again reported attacks on officers and rescue workers.
According to the police, more than 230 arrests had been made in Berlin by around 2 a.m. on Monday. In addition, 15 officers were injured, the police announced via the online service X. At numerous locations throughout the city, emergency and rescue services were attacked with pyrotechnics, alarm guns and bottles. The situation calmed down again around 3 am.
At the Neptune Fountain not far from Alexanderplatz, 500 people threw pyrotechnics at each other before midnight. When police officers intervened, they were reportedly shot at by a group of 200 people with fireworks. Several people were arrested.
In Gropiusstadt in the Neukölln district, police reported that a parked police car was shot at with a bullet bomb and damaged so badly that it had to be taken out of action. Nine arrests were also made in Neukölln after people tried to make Molotov cocktails out of glass bottles, scraps of cloth and petrol.
Fire department in continuous operation
The Berlin fire department was also in constant action: according to their own information, the emergency services were called out more than 500 times in just a few hours, including to several fires in apartments and a garage complex in the Wilmersdorf district.
In Berlin, the police were deployed in large numbers. The fire department also increased the number of firefighters after the riots at the turn of the year last year. On New Year's Eve 2022/23, emergency and rescue services were massively attacked in Berlin and other cities. In some cases, the police had to be deployed to protect firefighters from attacks while extinguishing fires.
On Thursday, the Berlin police and fire department appealed to the public in a video published on the online platform X. "Don't attack us. Don't shoot us with firecrackers, rockets or alarm guns," it said.
In other German cities, the turn of the year was relatively calm compared to last year. In Stuttgart, the police gave an initial positive assessment of their operations around the Schlossplatz. By 4 a.m. on Monday, the officers had reportedly recorded around 30 charges, most of which were violations of the Explosives Act. According to the police, there were no "serious incidents".
Man fatally injured when a firecracker was set off
The emergency services in cities such as Mainz and Bochum made similar statements. According to the police in Koblenz, an officer was hit by pyrotechnics but remained unharmed. However, there was a tragic accident in the Rübenach district of Koblenz: an 18-year-old was fatally injured when a firecracker was set off and died despite attempts at resuscitation.
In Cologne, security measures around the cathedral were stepped up once again for New Year's Eve. According to the head of the Cologne police traffic directorate, Frank Wißbaum, around 1,000 police officers were deployed to secure the area and protect the public. The Cologne police had previously announced that they had taken three more terror suspects into custody in connection with possible plans to attack the cathedral.
The security forces in Cologne have been on heightened alert since Christmas due to a terror warning. Following the "danger warning", the Cologne police searched the cathedral with sniffer dogs on the day before Christmas Eve. No explosives were found. The Christmas masses took place in the following days under heightened security measures.

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

The United States called Sunday for the peaceful and transparent resolution of any election disputes in the Democratic Republic of Congo after President Felix Tshisekedi was declared winner of a second term in the turbulent nation.
Provisional results showed Tshisekedi had won 73 percent of the vote, which opposition leaders have already dismissed as a “sham.”
The United States is following the process “closely,” a State Department spokesperson said, stopping short of immediately congratulating Tshisekedi.
“Any election disputes should be resolved peacefully and in accordance with Congolese electoral law,” the spokesperson continued. “We call on the relevant authorities to ensure any complaints are handled in a fair and transparent manner.”
The Democratic Republic of Congo’s Constitutional Court is expected to confirm the provisional results on January 10.
Moise Katumbi — a wealthy businessman, football club owner and former provincial governor — was the election runner-up with about 18 percent.
He and eight other opposition candidates on Sunday signed a declaration rejecting the results and calling for a re-run.
Post-election tensions have been common in the poor but mineral-rich country.
Analysts said Tshisekedi’s vote tally was well beyond expectations.
Over 40 million people out of the 100 million inhabitants of the huge country were registered to vote on December 20 for president, as well as for national and regional lawmakers and municipal councillors.
Voting was officially extended by a day to account for problems, and continued for days afterwards in remote areas, according to observers. | https://www.digitaljournal.com/world/us-calls-for-dr-congo-election-disputes-to-be-resolved-peacefully/article | 2024-01-01T05:45:39Z |
Countdown begins on PSG star Kylian Mbappé's future. Real Madrid and Liverpool possible destinations
PARIS (AP) - As the New Year begins, so does the countdown on Kylian Mbappé's future.
It promises to be a nervous start to 2024 for Paris Saint-Germain and its fans with speculation set to intensify about their prolific striker, one of only two players in soccer history to score a hat trick in a World Cup final.
Mbappé began this season in a transfer standoff with his club after not taking up the option of a 12-month extension into 2025. It means that, starting Jan. 1, he can openly talk to other clubs or even sign a pre-contract agreement with long-time suitor Real Madrid or Premier League leader Liverpool.
Mbappé can do so because his contract runs out in June, when he can leave the defending French champion for free, having joined from Monaco -- initially on loan in 2017 - for 180 million euros (now $199 million).
The France star is PSG's all-time leading scorer with 233 goals despite only recently turning 25, and has already netted some 46 goals for Les Bleus.
But it has been frustrating at times for Mbappé at PSG, which failed to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League in the last two seasons and has scraped through to the last 16 in second place this season.

Despite having scored 21 goals in 22 games in all competitions so far this season, Mbappé failed to make his mark when PSG lost 4-1 at Newcastle and 2-1 at AC Milan.
His frustration has been seen in some of PSG's league games over the past three seasons, when bad defending and a lack of teamwork has led to soft goals being conceded.
Mbappé has said he wants to win the Ballon d'Or - soccer´s most prestigious individual prize - and the Champions League. But whether he can win either with PSG remains to be seen and, at age 25, the time could be right for him to leave PSG as he enters his peak years.
Here's a look at where Mbappé might go:
REAL MADRID
Will it be third time lucky for the Spanish powerhouse with a record 14 European Cup titles?
PSG rejected an offer of 180 million euros for Mbappé in 2021 and Madrid missed out a year later when Mbappé - amid frenzied speculation that Madrid would finally get him to join - signed a new deal with PSG in May 2022.
Mbappé held aloft the PSG jersey that day with 2025 on the back. But he was reportedly annoyed because the actual deal only took him to 2024 and, while good PR for the club, it was also seen as somewhat presumptuous to expect he would sign the extension given his world renown.
Mbappé has spoken about his affection for Madrid but, if he does not join this time, then the move may never happen. Coach Carlo Ancelotti has re-shaped the attack since Karim Benzema left and it is functioning well.
Jude Bellingham has made a stunning start to his career there since joining from Borussia Dortmund in a big-money deal, and the 20-year-old attacking midfielder has netted 17 goals in 21 games. Wearing his idol Zinedine Zidane's No. 5 jersey, Bellingham pulls the strings brilliantly behind forwards Vinícius Júnior - who has signed a new long-term deal - and Rodrygo.
Neither are as prolific as Mbappé but the Brazilians are younger - Vinícius is 23 and Rodrygo is 22 - and it raises the question whether Madrid really needs Mbappé now the void left by Benzema, and Cristiano Ronaldo before him, has clearly been filled.
LIVERPOOL
Mbappé's English is near-fluent and he's at ease conducting interviews after Champions League games with British broadcasters.
It would make his transition to the Premier League even easier, for his speed, strength on the ball, dribbling and lethal finishing are all attributes that would serve him well.
The six-time European champions are trying to hold onto prolific forward Mohamed Salah amid growing interest in the Egypt star from the even richer Saudi Arabian league.
Salah recently reached the 200-goal mark for Liverpool and enjoys hero-like status at Liverpool's famed Anfield stadium, but he is 31 and his prime years could almost be over.
Mbappé is entering his prime and appears the ideal replacement.
CHELSEA
With no transfer fee to pay, any club signing Mbappé for free would have to play massive wages.
Chelsea can do that, and the west London club is languishing in mid-table, desperately in need of a goalscorer of Mbappé´s caliber.
Whether Mbappé feels up to the challenge of rebuilding is doubtful, considering he could walk into any leading club.
SAUDI ARABIA
Al-Hilal failed with a record $332 million bid for Mbappé last July and, given his ambitions to win the Ballon d'Or numerous times, even the lure of massive wages seems unlikely to tempt him.
Furthermore, Saudi Arabian soccer intends to be around for the long-term.
If so, it means there's no pressure for Mbappé to go there now when he could easily do so in his 30s.
STAYING AT PSG
Mbappé previously said he wanted to see out his last season at PSG and then leave.
Should he stay, the club would need to strengthen its midfield and defense.
Should he go, there will still be a Mbappé playing at PSG - younger brother Ethan, who just turned 17.

The Vikings said goodbye and good riddance to 2023 with another bungling performance that saw them fall to 2-6 at U.S. Bank Stadium, raise their season turnover total by two more to 32, bench a quarterback for the third time in four games and lose to the Packers 33-10 in front of 67,003 fans, many of them Cheeseheads who enjoyed quite the New Year's Eve party in downtown Minneapolis.
Believe it or not, there's still hope, Purple Nation.
A Vikings team that's 7-9 and losers of five of its past six games heads to Detroit (11-5) on Sunday with a chance to sneak into the playoffs.
Because Seattle lost at home to Pittsburgh earlier Sunday, the Vikings weren't eliminated. They can reach the playoffs with a win over a Lions team that's still playing for the NFC's No. 2 seed and the following:
* A Packers (8-8) loss at home to Chicago, which has won four of its past five and now shares the NFC North basement with the Vikings.
* A Seahawks loss at Arizona, which won at Philadelphia on Sunday.
* Either a Saints loss at home to Atlanta, which beat New Orleans in Week 12, or a Buccaneers loss at Carolina.
Of course, if the Vikings play like they did Sunday or in last week's four-turnover loss to the Lions, it's likely O-V-E-R.
The Packers outclassed the Vikings in yards (470-211), rushing yards (177-67), first downs (28-13), third-down conversions (nine of 14 to three of 10) and time of possession (37:32-22:28).
Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 24 of 33 passes for 256 yards, three touchdowns, no turnovers, a 125.3 passer rating — second best of his young career — and one rushing touchdown. Vikings rookie Jaren Hall, getting his second career start after 22 career snaps, completed five of 10 passes for 67 yards, two turnovers and a 32.1 passer rating before being benched while trailing 23-3 at the half. He targeted Justin Jefferson only twice, completing one for 13 yards.
"It was not great football," Hall said. "Not great execution. You play that poorly, you expect to get benched. I wasn't giving the team a chance to win, and that was that."
Nick Mullens, who threw four picks against the Lions a week earlier, played the second half and completed 13 of 22 passes for 113 yards, one touchdown, no turnovers and an 87.9 rating.
In his postgame remarks, coach Kevin O'Connell did not name a starting quarterback for next week, saying again "all options are on the table."
The game began with injured quarterback Kirk Cousins transforming into 2022's beloved "Kirko Chainz," pulling off his shirt to sound the Gjallarhorn as fans roared.
The Packers took the opening kickoff, launched a deep ball that Love overthrew by 10 yards and went three-and-out. The Vikings returned the three-and-out favor, with punter Ryan Wright blasting a 69-yarder for a touchback, after Hall failed to connect on third-and-2 with tight end Johnny Mundt, who became the team's receiving tight end when T.J. Hockenson was placed on injured reserve because of torn knee ligaments suffered in the loss to Detroit.
The Packers turned the ensuing possession into a 3-0 lead on a 34-yard field goal by Anders Carlson. It would have been worse if edge rushers Pat Jones II and Danielle Hunter hadn't pressured Love into overthrowing receiver Malik Heath, who was wide open inside the 10 on third-and-8 from the Vikings' 16.
Hockenson's absence was felt on the Vikings' second possession as well when Hall threw behind Mundt, who had the ball bounce off his hands and into the grasp of Packers cornerback Corey Ballentine. Two plays and 33 yards later, Love threw a 33-yard rope to Jayden Reed, who raced past linebacker Jordan Hicks and safety Camryn Bynum for an easy score and a 10-0 lead with 5:10 left in an opening quarter filled with chants of "Go Pack Go!"
The Vikings responded by going three-and-out and getting a 26-yard punt from Wright. Hall targeted Jefferson for the first and only time of the quarter, an incompletion with Ballentine in tight coverage, the kind of coverage the Packers are accustomed to seeing from Jaire Alexander, who was suspended for this game for conduct detrimental to the team.
Hall finished the first quarter going 0-for-4 with an interception and a 0.0 passer rating.
The Vikings caught their first break of the game with the Packers facing fourth-and-1 from the Vikings' 24 early in the second quarter. A poor throw by Love caused wide-open receiver Bo Melton to dive for a ball he then dropped.
The Vikings turned that into a 54-yard field goal with 9:25 left in the half. Hall's first two completions — 13 yards to Jefferson and 20 to Jordan Addison — set up the score.
Green Bay extended its lead to 17-3 by taking the ensuing kickoff 75 yards in 10 plays with Love scoring on a 2-yard run with 3:59 left in the half.
The Packers turned the Vikings' second turnover into a second Reed touchdown reception and a 23-3 lead after Carlson missed the PAT. Preston Smith beat left tackle Christian Darrisaw for a strip sack that Karl Brooks recovered at the Vikings' 37.
Three plays and 18 seconds later, Reed caught a ball on a crossing pattern, raced 25 yards through the secondary and bulled his way into the end zone with eight seconds left in the half.
The Vikings took a knee and were booed off the field.
In the second half, Mullens provided an early spark — completing two passes to Jefferson for 34 yards, including a 21-yarder on third-and-14 — but turned the ball over on downs with an incompletion to Jefferson in the end zone on fourth-and-4 from the Packers' 9.
The Packers turned that into an 8-minute, 13-play, 91-yard touchdown drive with Love throwing his third touchdown pass of the game, a 9-yarder to Melton. The Packers led 30-3 before gifting the Vikings a 5-yard touchdown pass from Mullens to Mundt when Samori Toure muffed a punt that NaJee Thompson recovered at the Packers' 7.
"Just not good enough across the board, including me," O'Connell said. "Ultimately I got to be better."
In two seasons under O'Connell, the Vikings are 11-0 when winning the turnover battle, 6-1 when tied and 3-13 when losing. During a five-game winning streak earlier this season, the Vikings went 3-0-2 in turnover battles.
In going 1-5 in their past six games, they've gone — you guessed it — 1-5 in turnover battles and are now minus-10 in turnover differential, tied with Kansas City and Washington for worst in the league.
They now head to Detroit to play a Lions team that beat them a week ago while winning the turnover battle, 4-1, with Mullens playing quarterback.
Who will O'Connell start at quarterback? With a 16-game sample size to judge from, it probably won't matter. | https://www.startribune.com/vikings-lose-to-packers-33-10-jaren-hall-jordan-love-nfc-wild-card/600331659/ | 2024-01-01T05:45:40Z |

Economists call for higher CO2 price
The new heating law is now in force. To give further impetus to the heating transition, the economist Grimm is pushing for a higher CO2 price and the promised introduction of climate money. The traffic lights will probably deliver neither of these.
At the launch of the heating law, economist Veronika Grimm is calling for a higher price for the emission of greenhouse gases. "Strengthening CO2 pricing and then introducing emissions trading would be much more effective than further adjustments to the Heating Act," says the economist in the Funke Mediengruppe newspaper. "We will see that all players - both households and heating suppliers, for example - will adapt to the framework conditions."
To compensate for this and to create acceptance for the increase in CO2 prices, Grimm is also calling for the introduction of climate money. The climate money would have a "very positive redistributive effect - on the one hand from high to low incomes and also from those with a high to those with a low carbon footprint", says the economist. "A family of four would get back over 650 euros per year with a carbon price of 45 euros, and over 800 euros per year with a carbon price of 55 euros." The German government should therefore "definitely take action on climate money before the next general election".
Geywitz contradicts Grimm
The climate money should provide citizens with relief for rising fuel and heating costs. However, the introduction agreed in the coalition agreement is becoming increasingly uncertain in view of the tight federal coffers.
A further increase in the CO2 price also seems unlikely: Construction Minister Klara Geywitz recently spoke out clearly against this proposal. "Ms. Grimm's model would mean that all homeowners and tenants who heat with oil or gas would immediately have a more expensive heating bill," said Geywitz. "I'm not sure whether a social balance can be achieved here via the CO2 price - or whether the people in the worst houses, who couldn't afford to renovate, would also have the highest heating bills."
Subsidies of up to 70 percent
The Heating Act - officially known as the Building Energy Act (GEG) - is intended to accelerate the switch to more climate-friendly heating. Newly installed systems must be powered by at least 65% renewable energy; traditional oil and gas heating systems are generally unable to achieve this. However, this initially only applies to new buildings in new development areas.
The maximum subsidy rate for the installation of heating systems is to be increased to 70 percent for private individuals. Every owner who installs a climate-friendly heating system should be able to receive a 30 percent subsidy. A further 30 percent is reserved for low-income homeowners. There is also a "climate speed bonus" of 20 percent, which is reduced over time. These pillars can be combined to a maximum of 70 percent.
The national CO2 price for petrol, diesel, heating oil and natural gas was introduced in 2021 at 25 euros per tonne and will rise from the current 30 euros to 45 euros from January 2024. The instrument is intended to provide incentives to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and thus CO2 emissions. In 2025, 55 euros per tonne will be due.

The result of the second round of the presidential election can be affected by how evenly the votes in the first round are distributed between the candidates.
The presidential election of those at the top of the polls by Alexander Stubb (cook) and Pekka Haaviston (vihr) campaigns have so far been quite predictable, even boring, they say Milja Henttonen and Jukka Manninen.
“Both seem to have the idea that this is a campaign with the second round of the elections in mind,” Henttonen estimates as the reason for avoiding unnecessary risks.
Henttonen is the leading adviser of the communications agency Miltton and a former assistant to the Green ministers. Manninen, on the other hand, is the former planning manager of the coalition, who now works at the communications agency Ellun Kanoi.
The freshest of HS survey according to Stubby, 24 percent and Haavisto 22 percent of respondents would vote if the presidential elections were held now.
Next up in Gallup Jussi Halla-aho (ps) has a difference of nine percentage points: 13 percent of respondents would vote for him.
According to Henttonen and Manninen, both Stubb and Haavisto seem to be counting on their campaigns to face each other in the second round of the elections.
According to Manninen, the tactic is also reasonable in the current polling situation. In the first round, there are fewer mobile voters when there are more candidates.
“What's more surprising is why the other candidates haven't had a more specific desire to challenge or take the risk of reaching other than the most certain voters,” Manninen says.
Ramble Henttonen is also on the line. However, according to him, one should not get too attached to the current poll results.
“I personally think that the first Gallup in January is the first truly interesting one,” says Henttonen.
According to him, it will be clear whether the other candidates will start to rise towards the top, or whether the support will consolidate even more tightly behind Stubb and Haavisto.
“If the voters start to think of the presidential election only as a battle between Stubb and Haavisto, we might see embarrassingly bad support readings for the other candidates at the beginning of the year.”
Of people voting behavior in the first round also affects the election situation in the second round. If the votes are distributed more evenly among the candidates, there will be more mobile voters in the second round.
According to Henttonen, Haavisto's advantage would be a situation where the votes would be distributed more evenly, because then there would also be more mobile voters available.
“Due to his party background, Stubb has a larger core of voters than Haavisto, who will vote for him anyway. That second-round competition will be held specifically for those mobile voters,” Henttonen says.
Manninen can also have an effect on whether those who failed in the first round recommend candidates who continue to the second round.
“It will be interesting to see if there will be such recommendations and how they will affect. For example, Haavisto has wanted to avoid being seen as a red-green candidate, so his campaign will certainly consider whether, for example, Li Andersson's (left) or Jutta Urpilainen's story (sd) support for his support as a benefit or a disadvantage”, Manninen reflects.
“These are usually not of great importance, but in a tight election everything should be taken into account.”
Significance according to Henttonen, it also depends on how Haavisto and Stubb are able to attract voters from outside Helsinki to their side.
“For example, in the parliamentary elections, Helsinki voted in a completely different way than the rest of the country,” he states.
Stubb and Haavisto are both liberal and international urban candidates, which can make the choice difficult for more conservative voters.
According to Henttonen, the possible recommendation of, for example, Halla-aho could also be important in the second round for those voters who would otherwise not vote for Stubb or Haavisto, but would stay in the stands.
The beginning of the year there are just over two weeks left until the start of early voting in the first round of the presidential election. There are less than four weeks until the actual voting day.
Although there is not much active campaign time left, according to Manninen and Henttonen, the most important weeks of the campaigns are ahead.
“If there are any breakthroughs or surprises, we will see them in the weeks before the elections.”
Manny says that he follows with interest how the candidates get their supporters activated to promote themselves during the elections.
“People come across campaigns specifically on the social media of their friends and colleagues,” he states.
For example, the “citizens' delegation” consisting of supporters of Pekka Haavisto has many public figures with a significant number of followers on social media. For example, a musician Mikael Gabriela writer Sofi Oksanen and social media influencer Mona Bling belong to Haavisto's support forces.
“Until now, however, the campaign has not really gotten these members of the citizens' delegation to become active in campaigning for Haavisto. If such a thing is not reached before the elections, the importance of these supporters will remain small,” says Manninen.
With recommendations may matter to many people in choosing the voting decision, because otherwise the differences between Haavisto's and Stubb's political lines during the presidential election have been minor.
“Both have quite strongly positioned themselves in the political center, so the person's personality will decide a lot in the elections,” states Manninen.
“In the second round, when there are two candidates, it is easy for the voter to think about what motivates him in the candidates. Do you want to vote based on values, the winner or the person who seems the most suitable for you. In this decision, what others think can matter.”

The Empire State rings in the new year with a pay bump for minimum-wage workers
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York's minimum-wage workers had more than just the new year to celebrate Monday, with a pay bump kicking in as the clock ticked over to 2024.
In the first of a series of annual increases slated for the Empire State, the minimum wage increased to $16 in New York City and some of its suburbs, up from $15. In the rest of the state, the new minimum wage is $15, up from $14.20.
The state's minimum wage is expected to increase every year until it reaches $17 in New York City and its suburbs, and $16 in the rest of the state by 2026. Future hikes will be tied to the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, a measurement of inflation.
New York is one of 22 states getting minimum wage rises in the new year, according to a recent report by the Economic Policy Institute.
In California, the minimum wage increased to $16, up from $15.50, while in Connecticut it increased to $15.69 from the previous rate of $15.
This most recent pay bump in New York is part of an agreement made last year between Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state Legislature. The deal came over the objections of some employers, as well as some liberal Democrats who said it didn't go high enough.

2018 was Earth's fourth-hottest year: Report
The study was conducted by Berkeley Earth, an independent organization focused on temperature analysis for climate science. They have been conducting analyses for global average temperatures since 2013.
While the average temperature was lower than the previous three years, 2018 was still warmer than any previously recorded year prior to 2015, remaining consistent with the long-term trend of global warming, according to the study, Anadolu Agency reports.
The average global temperature for 2018 was 1.16 degrees Celsius (2.09 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the average temperature from 1850 to 1900, the "pre-industrial baseline for global temperature targets".
"Though 2018 only ranks fourth overall, 2015 through 2018 still stands out as a period of significant warmth well above all previous years since 1850. This reflects the long-term trend towards global warming," the report said.
It said 2016 remains the hottest year ever recorded, largely caused by El Nino, a climate phenomenon which raised temperatures in the equatorial Pacific region.
Berkeley Earth's report was corroborated by earlier data submitted by the Copernicus Climate Change Service, a European Union body, and the United Nations' weather body the World Meteorological Organization. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/2018-was-earth-s-fourth-hottest-year-report_a3491524/ | 2024-01-01T05:45:47Z |
It's a sad time in Vikingdom when the most exciting moment of a game against the Packers involves Kirk Cousins' nipples.
Cousins, the Vikings' injured starting quarterback, sounded the pregame Gjallarhorn before the Vikings and Packers played on Sunday night at U.S. Bank Stadium. Before doing so, he ripped off his shirt to expose his now-traditional gold chain and now-familiar naked torso.
He should have been blowing a bugle and sounding, "Retreat."
In the wake of the Vikings' 33-10 loss, it's not shocking that just about everyone in Minnesota misses seeing Cousins under center.
What's shocking is that just about everyone in Minnesota now misses Sean Mannion.
After Cousins injured his Achilles tendon, the Vikings tried out Joshua Dobbs, Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall — three backup quarterbacks who could have at least been considered intriguing.
Dobbs gave them two good games before imploding. Mullens gave them one good drive in Las Vegas before becoming a football dispensary. Hall might have been the most surprising of the three.
Chosen to start in Atlanta after Cousins' injury, in part because Dobbs had just gotten to town and Mullens was injured, Hall completed five of six passes, ran twice for 11 yards, and left the game because of a concussion suffered as he neared the goal line.
Somehow, eight weeks later, he not only looked nothing like Cousins, or the good version of Dobbs, or the productive if erratic Mullens — he looked nothing like the quarterback who at least seemed capable of reading a defense in Atlanta.
I wanted to see Hall start. As athletes like to say, "My bad." Thanks largely to Hall, there was something worse on television on New Year's Eve than Ryan Seacrest.
If you wanted to see a ball drop, you could just watch Hall throwing in the general direction of Johnny Mundt.
For years, the Vikings survived with Mannion as their backup quarterback because of Cousins' durability. When Mannion did play, he looked like a poor version of a game-managing quarterback.
My apologies to Mannion. He might have been better than any of the current three backups, because he knew how to run the offense and tried to avoid mistakes. He at least seemed to recognize his own limitations.
Hall looked overwhelmed on Sunday night. He threw one interception — off of Mundt's hands — and lost one fumble. But it wasn't so much his mistakes that got him benched after the half, but the fact that he looked unprepared.
Mullens got benched by throwing four interceptions against Detroit. He earned his benching. But there's a difference between knowing how to run an offense and making bad decisions and bad throws, and not looking like you're ready for the moment.
One of the presumptions of sports talk, or sports writing, is that there is a logical solution to every problem.
Team isn't scoring enough? Run the ball more. Or throw it more.
Team isn't winning? Fire the coach.
Current quarterback isn't producing? Try the backup.
What the 2023 Vikings have proved is that sometimes there isn't a solution — unless you want to go back to the turn of the decade and have former General Manager Rick Spielman stick with Jake Browning instead of drafting Kellen Mond.
Spielman's obsession with Mond cost the Vikings Browning, who has generally played well in relief of the injured Joe Burrow in Cincinnati.
Browning would probably have this team in the playoffs. He was better than Mond, and he's better than the Vikings' current backups. So is Cleveland's Joe Flacco, who almost retired last offseason.
This season has demonstrated not only Cousins' value, but the value of having a quality backup.
Someone like Washington's Michael Penix Jr. should be available when the Vikings make their first-round pick in April.
It's time for the Vikings to do what the Packers did with Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love — select their quarterback of the future while they still have their quarterback of the present.
Let's hope that the next time we see Cousins at U.S. Bank Stadium, he's wearing a shirt, and it's purple. | https://www.startribune.com/vikings-packers-quarterbacks-jaren-hall-nick-mullens-kirk-cousins-jim-souhan/600331666/ | 2024-01-01T05:45:47Z |

FORT MYERS, Fla. — A Southwest Florida man is accused of attempting an abduction of a 4-year-old boy at a Walmart, authorities said.
According to Lee County Sheriff’s online booking records, Pablo Pintueles Hernandez, 64, of Lehigh Acres, was arrested Friday and charged with false imprisonment of a child 13 years old and under.
Surveillance video posted to the sheriff’s office Facebook page showed Pintueles Hernandez appearing to walk up to the child, grabbing his wrist and attempting to walk away with the boy, WINK-TV reported.
The video showed family members intervening and pulling the child away, WBBH-TV reported.
Analysts and deputies said they used advanced technology to identify and locate Pintueles Hernandez, WINK reported. Deputies responded to the suspect’s residence within an hour of viewing the footage, according to the television station.
“What this criminal did is incredibly disturbing,” Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said in a statement. “I never want anyone in Lee County to feel unsafe, especially going on a simple shopping trip. My team will stop at NOTHING to ensure criminals like this face the consequences of their actions.”
Pintueles Hernandez is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 29, court records show. | https://www.wokv.com/news/trending/man-accused-trying-kidnap-4-year-old-boy-walmart/BHCFQABRXZCRTKSQP3JXBIR4VQ/ | 2024-01-01T05:45:45Z |

Work - Employer president wants reforms to pensions and working hours
Employers' President Rainer Dulger has called for reforms to pensions and working hours. Dulger told the German Press Agency that working hours should be made more flexible. He also warned of a hole in the pension fund.
"When the baby boomers retire, around four million people will change their status from contributor to beneficiary. And you don't need to have studied to understand that if you go from more than 45 million people in employment to 40 million or even 39 million in just a few years, there will be a hole in the pension fund and not just in the pension fund. Then we have to talk about whether we can maintain the future pension level."
If this is to be maintained, a large part of the federal budget will flow even more into social welfare. "That worries me greatly. And we have to ask ourselves the question together: Can we imagine linking the retirement age to average life expectancy? We need to talk about this honestly. Incidentally, this has long been common practice in many other countries."
Dulger: Making working hours more flexible
"With our Working Hours Act, we are in a time of telex and dials," said the President of the Confederation of German Employers' Associations. "It is limited to daily working hours. However, we are now living in the digital age and have a modern and flexible European Working Hours Act." Employers would like the federal government to implement this law in Germany as well, with a contemporary focus on weekly working hours.
"This will create the right time frame for the actual flexibilization of work. An example: an employee who works in administration, who works on a computer, who can also work remotely, regardless of whether they do so from home or somewhere else. He works from nine in the morning until one or two, then collects his child from nursery and sits down at the computer again in the evening between 10 and 11 p.m. to answer a few emails. But then he's not allowed to continue working until around ten o'clock the next day because otherwise he won't comply with the statutory rest periods. That's madness and completely ignores the reality of life for many families."
Employers and employees need to negotiate what the respective working time model looks like. "What we need is a little more trust from the state."
Dulger rejects four-day week
In response to union demands for a four-day week, Dulger said: "A four-day week and then with full pay compensation is exactly the opposite of what we need at a time when there is a massive shortage of skilled workers. We all feel that we can no longer cope with the tasks." To now consider the solution of everyone working even less would lead to the wrong result. "Our competitors work longer than we do. What makes us think we can further reduce our working hours, which are already low worldwide? If we want to maintain our prosperity in this country, we would all have to work more, but certainly not less."

Former world number one Naomi Osaka makes winning return to action
Naomi Osaka made a winning return to tennis as she beat Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch 6-3 7-6 in the first round of the Brisbane International.
The former world number one has not played since withdrawing from the Pan Pacific Trophy with a knee injury in September 2021. She became a mother for the first time in July.
She returned to the court in style, breaking Korpatsch to love in the first game and did not face a break point as she clinched the first set in 39 minutes.
Osaka looked set for a routine victory when she broke for a 5-3 lead in the second set, but Korpatsch fought back to take it into a tie break – Osaka winning 11-9 on her third match point.
“The last couple of years that I played before I had my daughter, I didn’t return as much love as I was given,” Osaka said on court after the match. “I feel like that’s what I want to do in this chapter.
“I just really appreciate people coming out and knowing me and cheering for me because I feel like there was a time I was just a little kid trying to watch my role models play.

“So it feels really surreal sometimes to be playing on these courts.”
The former US Open and Australian Open will meet Karolina Pliskova, another former world number one and a three-time champion in Brisbane, in the second round. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-12915763/Former-world-number-one-Naomi-Osaka-makes-winning-return-action.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-01-01T05:45:53Z |

2019 to be a turning point for Kazakhstan’s youth - expert
"In my opinion, the year 2019 will be a turning point for the youth of Kazakhstan (...) There is the succession of generations, and there should be continuity [of generations]. Besides, this year can be considered as the year of summarizing the results of the previous years and in terms of the youth policy being pursued. From year to another, the state continues assisting the younger generation in all areas," said the head of the IITU.
First of all, according to him, it refers to education and science, which cannot exist without each other. Now, science is also being renewed, and there is a serious generational change, Damir Shynybekov maintains.
"But, I am very pleased that in his speech at the Youth Forum in Astana, the Head of State pointed out that it is necessary to increase grant funding for young scientists. No doubt, this will be great support because there is now human capital competition all over the world. These processes are primarily associated with science in all sectors, from processing to information technology," said Damir Shynybekov.
According to him, the Head of State also emphasized that it is necessary to train specialists in new professions under the 100x200 principle, in which the training in 100 new professions and skills will be provided at the top 200 educational institutions - universities and colleges - in each region of the country.
"In general, it is necessary to remember that our country is internationally classified as a young state. Therefore, the future belongs to the youth of our country, to their creativity and teamwork ability, to their professional qualities shaped in our schools," said the rector.
Kazinform earlier reported that President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev has launched the Year of Youth in Kazakhstan. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/2019-to-be-a-turning-point-for-kazakhstan-s-youth-expert_a3491049/ | 2024-01-01T05:45:54Z |
The 2011 Vikings, playing with a rookie quarterback in Leslie Frazier's first season as head coach while embarking on perhaps the largest roster reset of the Wilf family's ownership, lost seven of their eight games at the Metrodome, dropping six of those games by six points or less.
The 1984 Vikings were beaten in six of their eight games at the Metrodome, losing four times by at least two touchdowns in a 3-13 season that went so poorly, Bud Grant came out of retirement to coach one more season after Les Steckel's firing.
Until Sunday, those teams were the only two in Vikings history to finish with six home losses. The 2023 Vikings, who entered the season as the defending NFC North champions, joined that group on Sunday night.
Their New Year's Eve game against the Packers, the team they'd beaten emphatically for Kevin O'Connell's first win as Vikings head coach last season, turned into a 33-10 defeat that was both costly and concerning. It means the Vikings' playoff hopes depend on a win in Detroit and a complicated parlay of losses around the NFC. After O'Connell made his third quarterback switch — and his second mid-game change — of December, it reopened questions about how the Vikings will finish the season at QB in Detroit and what their future at the position looks like with Kirk Cousins headed for free agency.
Beyond the questions it raised, the defeat was an emetic for Vikings fans. It was the team's worst loss at home to Green Bay since Dec. 16, 1984, when Steckel's club lost by 24 points. It continued a yearly ritual of lopsided New Year's weekend defeats to the Packers, following a 41-17 loss in Green Bay last Jan. 1 and a 37-10 loss at Lambeau Field on Jan. 2, 2022.
Eight weeks after the Vikings won by two touchdowns at Lambeau Field to put themselves in line for a wild-card spot, they fell behind the Packers in the race for the NFC's final playoff spot, as Vikings fans departed early and Green Bay supporters remained to cheer on their team.
The Vikings had built one of the NFL's most consistent home-field advantages in their first seven seasons at U.S. Bank Stadium, buoyed by sellout crowds and elaborate in-game productions to a 39-18 regular-season record at home. Only the Chiefs (with 44 wins) and the Packers (with 42) had won more home games in that time, with four other teams — the Ravens, Steelers, Patriots and Cowboys — tied with the Vikings at 39. Their lone home playoff victory in that time, their 2017 NFC divisional round win over the Saints, ended with the most euphoric finish in Vikings history.
In O'Connell's first season in Minnesota, the Vikings went 8-1 at home, clinching an NFC North title with a 33-point comeback last December that ranked as the largest in NFL history.
But the Vikings lost their NFC wild-card game at home to the Giants in January and dropped their first three home games this season by a combined 14 points, in games changed by a goal-line interception before halftime, a game-winning-TD-turned-interception in the fourth quarter and an injury to Justin Jefferson. After Cousins' stirring performance in a Monday night win over the 49ers and Joshua Dobbs' lone victory as the starting quarterback against the Saints, the Vikings lost all three division games at home, falling to the Bears by two points and the Lions by six before the Packers became the first team to beat them by more than one score this season.
Next season, the Vikings will have nine regular-season home games on the schedule again (though it's worth watching if one of those games is played internationally). O'Connell has talked several times this season about his concern over how much the Vikings have lost in front of their fans this year. On Sunday night, they concluded one of their worst home seasons in the most dispiriting fashion imaginable. | https://www.startribune.com/vikings-turn-consistent-home-field-advantage-around-ingree-bay-packers-bud-grant/600331668/ | 2024-01-01T05:45:54Z |
MINNEAPOLIS — (AP) — Jordan Love threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score to put the Green Bay Packers in control of a spot in the playoffs with a 33-10 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night.
Aaron Jones rushed for 120 yards and Jayden Reed had two touchdown catches for the Packers (8-8), who can get the NFC's last wild-card spot by beating Chicago at home next week. Seattle's loss earlier in the day allowed them to climb above the cut.
Love went 24 for 33 for 256 yards in what was surely the finest game of his first year as the starter in the post-Aaron Rodgers era.
“He’s playing at an incredibly high level. I’m super happy for him, because he’s put in a ton of work to get to this point,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. “I really think the sky is the limit for us. He’s just showing a glimpse of what he can ultimately be.”
Last season, Rodgers and the Packers lost a win-and-in finale at home to Detroit and missed the playoffs.
“It’s an awesome vibe in the locker room, but at the same time everyone’s focused on what we’ve got in front of us,” Love said.
The Vikings (7-9) benched another turnover-prone quarterback after an interception and a fumble by Jaren Hall in the first half were converted into touchdowns by the Packers. Nick Mullens took over for Hall for the second half, the fifth time the Vikings have switched quarterbacks since Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles tendon in the fourth quarter of a 24-10 win at Green Bay on Oct. 29.
Detroit clinched the NFC North by beating Minnesota here last week, marking just the second time in 13 seasons the division wasn't won by either the Packers or the Vikings, but a prime-time game between these border-state rivals always generates plenty of energy in the stadium.
Cousins got the party off to a rowdy start when he — wearing a thick gold chain around his neck — and his son ripped off their shirts to lead the crowd in the "Skol!" chant and blow the Gjallarhorn. The "Go Pack Go!" serenades quickly joined the soundtrack, though, and this became quite the New Year's Eve blowout.
Love was flustered two months ago in Green Bay by the Vikings defense. But despite his penchant for overthrows, he has come a long way and given the Packers abundant optimism for the future at quarterback that is missing in Minnesota with Cousins set to become a free agent and no clarity about a potential return.
Hall, who was the first reliever for Cousins two months ago only to be forced out of his first start with a concussion, hardly had any time to throw. Green Bay's defense that was shredded over the last three games by the Giants, Buccaneers and Panthers — and now missing starting cornerbacks Jaire Alexander (suspension) and Eric Stokes (hamstring) — took full advantage of the rookie from BYU.
Hall’s off-target throw in the first quarter glanced off the hands of Johnny Mundt — in an elevated role after the season-ending knee injury to Pro Bowl tight end T.J. Hockenson — and in the air to Corey Ballentine for an interception. Love’s 33-yard touchdown pass to Reed came two plays later.
Preston Smith’s strip-sack of Hall with 26 seconds left before halftime sealed the deal. Karl Brooks recovered at the Minnesota 37, and the Love-to-Reed connection got Green Bay in the end zone three plays after that for a 23-3 lead.
REED IS BOOKING IT
Reed has 10 touchdown catches to lead the Packers. The second-round draft pick from Michigan State set the franchise rookie record with 60 receptions, passing Sterling Sharpe (1988).
Both of Reed’s scores belong on the season highlight reel. Love did the work on the first one with the prettiest pass of the game to hit Reed in stride on a post route. Reed did the heavy lifting on the second by running a crossing route, dodging two tacklers after the catch and dragging another defender into the end zone.
Reed hurt his chest on that play and didn’t return for the second half. With Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks already sidelined by injuries, the Packers have some depth concern at wide receiver after Samori Toure also left in the fourth quarter. Reed was taken for additional tests after he was hurt.
“Hopefully he'll be all right for next week,” LaFleur said. “I know if there's anybody who can get through it, it's him.”
INJURY REPORT
Packers: Smith and RB A.J. Dillon (neck) left with injuries in the third quarter. ... LB Isaiah McDuffie (concussion) was carted off in the second quarter when he collided with Lukas Van Ness and Colby Wooden during a sack. McDuffie started in place of De’Vondre Campbell (neck), who missed his second consecutive game.
Vikings: RG Ed Ingram (shoulder) left in the third quarter. ... CB Byron Murphy (knee) was sidelined for the second straight game.
UP NEXT
Packers: host Chicago next Sunday.
Vikings: play at Detroit next Sunday.

Children spend up to 7–9 hours a day on social media and suffer from lack of sleep.
Coping and mental health challenges weaken learning outcomes. About a third of middle school girls are exhausted and suffer from anxiety (HS Opinion 21.12.).
According to American social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, children suffer from lack of sleep. The amount of sleep has decreased since 2013. Face-to-face time spent with friends has decreased by 65 percent since 2010. The ability to concentrate has deteriorated. Children spend up to 7–9 hours a day on social media, which is away from, for example, exercise and real-life interaction situations.
Children and the young are exhausted because they are out of shape and tired from lack of sleep. All this also affects mental health and learning.
Social media and smartphones have lured children away from the reach of parents and adults. The time spent on social media does not replace real friendships, it can also be concluded from the fact that the perceived loneliness has increased. Social media algorithms reinforce the normal phenomena of youth and may push impressionable children and young people into a sick role, especially if realistic feedback is not available.
To school may require more resources and more measures to increase children's well-being, but we are all part of the problem if we do not address the root cause, i.e. the harm caused by smartphones. The current mental health boom is of social origin and can be corrected by addressing environmental factors, i.e. the use of smartphones.

Luke Littler feels he can `beat even more records´ ahead of world quarter-final
Teenager Luke Littler wants to “beat even more records” as he continues his dream World Darts Championship campaign with a quarter-final against Brendan Dolan on Monday.
The 16-year-old has burst onto the scene at Alexandra Palace and became the youngest player to reach the last eight when he hammered five-time world champion and his hero Raymond van Barneveld in the last 16 on Saturday.
That set up a winnable tie with Northern Irishman Dolan, who has seen off former world champions Gerwyn Price and Gary Anderson in the last two rounds, on New Year’s Day and he is now dreaming of lifting the Sid Waddell Trophy on Wednesday.
If Littler was to win the title it would be one of the greatest sporting stories and he would out-do several famous young achievers.
Pele was 17 when he won the World Cup with Brazil, Boris Becker claimed his first Wimbledon title at 18 while Mike Tyson was 20 when he became heavyweight world champion.
Littler, nicknamed ‘The Nuke’, has not heard of all of those names, including that of 2021 US Open singles champion Emma Raducanu, who his story shares many parallels with, but he believes there is more to come.
“Unbelievable, the names you have just said,” he said. “I know Mike, I only know Pele off FIFA and I don’t know the other ones.
“I have certainly broken the rules and records already but I know if my game is there I can beat even more records.

“My game is there, it is every darting kid’s, man’s, whoever’s dream to win it. I have certainly got the game, it is whatever happens on the day, whatever Luke Littler turns up.”
Littler’s impressive run has seen him hit the headlines around the world and enjoy celebrity status.
Littler and his family received complimentary tickets to watch Arsenal in the Premier League on Thursday night, with Gunners pair Declan Rice and Aaron Ramsdale asking him for a photo, while players from his beloved Manchester United sent him good luck messages before the match with Van Barneveld.
“It was unbelievable,” he added. “I was walking to my room and one of the security guards from Arsenal said to me Declan and Aaron wanted a picture with me and I just went ‘a picture with me’, and they came out for one.
“They said they have a dartboard up in the changing room. It is crazy for them to want a picture with me, it should be the other way around.
“It was incredible to get the messages, obviously United didn’t get the win (at Forest), but Jonny (Evans) and Gary (Neville) are United legends and Jonny is still playing for us, it was just incredible.”
Rob Cross plays Chris Dobey in the opening match of 2024 while Michael van Gerwen should have too much for controversial Scott Williams and Luke Humphries takes on Dave Chisnall in the other quarter-final. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-12915777/Luke-Littler-feels-beat-records-ahead-world-quarter-final.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-01-01T05:45:59Z |

Parties - FDP member survey on remaining in the traffic light ends
A survey of FDP members on their continued participation in the traffic light coalition with the SPD and Greens ends this Monday afternoon. Committees and members will then be informed of the outcome. It was initially unclear how long the count would take and when the results of the survey would be published. The party or the parliamentary group do not have to follow the vote. The FDP constitution states: "The organs of the party are not bound by the result of the member survey in their decision-making." The result is nevertheless eagerly awaited.
The member survey was launched in mid-December and followed an open letter from 26 state and local FDP politicians who, following the poor election results in Hesse and Bavaria, had called for the FDP to reconsider its coalition partners. In Bavaria, the FDP had missed out on entering the state parliament in October. In Hesse, it just made it over the five percent hurdle.
In the 2021 federal election, the Liberals under party leader Christian Lindner still achieved 11.5 percent. The FDP has not been doing well in nationwide polls for some time now. In recent surveys, it has achieved around 5 percent - so it is unclear whether it would still be in the Bundestag at all if elections were held now.
Kubicki does not want an exit from the traffic light system
In November, FDP deputy leader Wolfgang Kubicki advised against voting for an exit from the federal government. At the time, he told the Münchner Merkur newspaper that he believed in the common sense of the overwhelming majority of his party colleagues "not to vote for an escape from responsibility". He warned of a very difficult election campaign for the FDP in the event of an exit and said: "We will not win an election campaign with the slogan: We have failed."
One of the initiators of the FDP member survey, Matthias Nölke, accused the party leadership of a lack of transparency a few days ago. "The FDP leadership is largely silent towards us initiators," he told the "Tagesspiegel" newspaper. The federal managing director had left his written questions about the member survey largely unanswered. For example, it was not known when and how the count would take place and how the results would be announced. The party headquarters acted with "little transparency and little sovereignty", said the Kassel FDP district chairman.

There were 281 extreme weather events recorded by the Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) in its EM-DAT (International Disaster Database), the UNISDR said at a UN press conference here, Xinhua reports.
"No part of the globe was spared from the impact of extreme weather events last year," said Mami Mizutori, UN Special Representative for Disaster Risk Reduction.
Mizutori said that floods, droughts, storms, and wildfires affected 57.3 million people, underlining once more that "if we want to reduce disaster losses, then we must improve how we manage disaster risk."
The country most affected by disasters was India, where there were 23.9 million people hit, followed by the Philippines with almost 6.5 million people impacted, and then China with 6.4 million affected.
The country with the most deaths was Indonesia with 4,535, followed by India (1,388), Guatemala (427), Japan (419) and China with 341 deaths.
The UN official said that time is running out for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Centigrade or 2 degrees Centigrade.
"We have to be equally active about climate change adaptation which means reducing disaster risk in our cities, avoiding the creation of new risk by better land use, stronger planning regulations and building codes, safeguarding protective eco-systems, reducing poverty, and taking active measures to reduce exposure to rising sea levels," she said.
The 2018 toll of 10,373 lives lost compares with an annual average of 77,144 deaths recorded between 2000 and 2017.
These were averages inflated by the large-scale loss of life in catastrophic events such as the Indian Ocean tsunami (2004), Cyclone Nargis (2008) and the Haitian earthquake (2010).
There were no such mega-disasters in 2018, but the loss of life from significant natural hazards appears to be on the decline likely due to improving standards of living, and better disaster risk management, said the UN agency. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/61-million-people-affected-by-extreme-weather-events-in-2018-un-report_a3491515/ | 2024-01-01T05:46:01Z |

James Conner’s touchdown with just 32 seconds remaining saw the Arizona Cardinals shock the stuttering Philadelphia Eagles 35-31 after it looked as though Jake Elliott’s 43-yard field goal would be enough for the hosts, who had led 21-6 at the start of the second half.
The Indianapolis Colts, meanwhile, pipped the Las Vegas Raiders 23-20, and Josh Allen claimed two touchdowns as the Buffalo Bills edged out the New England Patriots 27-21.

... for taxes?
The new year doesn't just begin with a series of good intentions. Many legal changes are also regularly announced at the turn of the year. These changes, about which the North Rhine-Westphalia Consumer Advice Center and Stiftung Warentest, among others, provide information, will be important for all taxpayers.
Limit for top tax rate increases
From 2023, the top tax rate of 42% will only apply to annual incomes from a total amount of 62,810 euros. Previously, the limit was 58,597 euros per year. In addition, the solidarity surcharge will no longer apply to all taxpayers who earn less than €66,915 per year. From 2024, it will be levied from an annual income of 66,761 euros. For married couples and registered partnerships, the double amounts will apply.
Basic tax-free allowance increases
On January 1, 2024, the basic tax-free allowance for single people will rise from €10,908 to €11,604, while married couples will be entitled to €23,208. The basic tax-free allowance is the amount up to which the income of single people or jointly assessed spouses remains tax-free. This minimum subsistence level is therefore not affected by tax. As the tax authorities will only deduct tax from income above the new basic tax-free allowance in 2024, citizens will have more "net" from their "gross" income. The so-called benchmark rates will be shifted to the right in line with expected inflation, so that taxpayers in all income tax brackets will benefit from this.
The benchmark for the top tax rate (42%) will rise to EUR 66,779 (2023: EUR 62,827). It is payable at this level per additional euro earned. Spouses assessed jointly have double the income limits for joint income. The rate thresholds for the so-called "wealth tax" remain unchanged compared to 2023 at EUR 277,825, with the tax rate of 45% applying from EUR 277,826.
Child allowance to be increased
The tax-free child allowance, which ensures a child's minimum subsistence level, will also be increased: From January 1, 2024, this will then amount to 6384 euros (per child for both parents), up from 6024 euros in 2023. For separated parents, half the allowance (3192 euros) will be applied. The tax office calculates whether the child's minimum subsistence level is already covered by the child benefit or whether the child allowance is more favorable for the parents. In this case, the child allowance is then automatically taken into account in the income tax assessment and the child benefit is treated as an advance payment. The tax savings from the child allowance are usually higher, especially for higher incomes.
Limit for solidarity surcharge increases
Since the beginning of 2021, around 90 percent of taxpayers no longer pay a solidarity surcharge (Soli) due to the increase in the exemption limits. In the new year, this will rise further to 18,130 euros (2023: 17,543). This means that the calculation of the solidarity surcharge will also be adjusted in line with inflation.
New exemption limit for rental income
Income from letting and leasing must be included in the tax return. From the new year, however, there will be a tax-free limit for low rental income of up to 1000 euros per year - before deduction of associated costs. Taxpayers no longer have to report amounts up to this level to the tax office. If the income is higher, they must declare everything. Landlords can declare voluntarily if their costs are higher than their income.
Private sales up to 1000 euros tax-free
Profits from private sales will remain tax-free in future if the profit made in the calendar year is less than 1000 euros - instead of the previous 600 euros. This is an exemption limit. If you are only 1 euro above this, you will have to pay tax on everything. Anyone who trades in speculative goods will benefit from the new limit. This includes private valuables such as gold, jewelry, coins or antiques whose sale promises a profit. Anyone who buys and sells them within a year must always pay tax on the profit. The tax office automatically learns about such transactions since online trading platforms such as Ebay, classified ads, Vinted or Mobile.de have to report conspicuous sellers to the Federal Central Tax Office.
Construction and purchase of rental properties can be depreciated more quickly in future
In future, anyone who builds a property or buys a new build and then rents it out will be able to write off the acquisition or production costs more quickly than before. With the new declining balance method of depreciation, 6 percent can be deducted annually as a deduction for wear and tear (AFA). In the year of construction or purchase, the AFA amount is calculated pro rata temporis based on the costs incurred. In subsequent years, the amounts are calculated based on the residual value of the property. As the assessment basis decreases each year, the depreciation rates also decrease steadily. It is permitted to switch from the declining balance method to straight-line depreciation at a rate of three percent per year, in which the remaining acquisition or production costs are distributed in equal annual amounts over the remaining useful life.
The declining balance AFA applies to all buildings that are built in the coming years. The relevant date is the date of notification of the start of construction. It must be between October 2023 and September 2029. Anyone buying a new build must conclude the contract for it during this period. The purchase must also fall in the year in which the property is completed, i.e. when it becomes habitable.
More extras with your salary
If the employer treats the employee to a meal, this may constitute taxable wages for the tax office. The so-called non-cash benefit values are decisive: from January 1, 2024, the monthly values for meals will increase to 313 euros (previously: 288 euros). This means that from 2024, the following values will apply for reduced-price or free meals
- Breakfast: 65 euros per month; 2.17 euros per calendar day
- Lunch: 124 euros per month; 4.13 euros per calendar day
- Dinner: 124 euros per month; 4.13 calendar days
The non-cash benefit value in the Social Insurance Remuneration Ordinance (SVEV) regulates the tax valuation of meals and is relevant both for the valuation of employer-provided canteen meals and for the issue of meal vouchers or restaurant vouchers. The new remuneration in kind values will apply from the first payroll month of 2024.
As with meals, the values for accommodation or rent will also increase. In 2024, the non-cash benefit value for free accommodation will be 278 euros (previously: 265 euros) per month across Germany; 9.27 euros per calendar day. So if an employee receives both free accommodation and free meals throughout the year, this means for the tax office: the monthly gross income on which taxes and social security contributions are payable increases to 591 euros (313 euros + 278 euros).
Tax rebate for severance payments only from the tax office
If the employment contract is terminated by the employer, it is not uncommon for terminated employees to receive a severance payment - often with a tax bonus. From the new year, this will only be granted by the tax office.
If employees receive the severance payment in one go, their income in the year of payment is higher than usual and tax increases. This disadvantage is to be compensated for by the one-fifth rule, under which a lower tax rate is applied to the severance payment. Previously, the employer was already able to charge a reduced wage tax. To ease the burden on companies, the tax offices are now taking over. In future, employees will first have to submit their tax return in order to receive the tax discount.

Mason Marchment, Stars erupt to throttle Blackhawks 8-1
Mason Marchment notched his second career hat trick and added an assist, and the Dallas Stars cruised to an 8-1 win over the visiting Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night.
Tyler Seguin had a goal and two assists for Dallas, which is 7-1-1 in its past nine games. Sam Steel had a goal and an assist, and Roope Hintz scored his fourth goal in two games. Scott Wedgewood made 23 saves.
Philipp Kurashev scored for the Blackhawks, who have lost four-of-five overall (1-3-1) and 11 straight on the road (0-10-1). Petr Mrazek stopped 25 of 31 shots before being lifted in the third period.
The Stars beat Chicago 5-4 in overtime in Dallas on Friday night.
The Stars took a 1-0 lead at 11:35 of the first period when Craig Smith deflected Steel's long wrist shot from the right point past Mrazek.
Ryan Suter made it 2-0 at 17:16 when his wrist shot from the high slot on the rush deflected in off a Chicago defender.
Seguin made it 3-0 when he knocked a back-door pass from Marchment into a wide-open net at 19:11 for his 11th goal of the season.
Chicago's best early chance came when Connor Bedard's shot deflected off Wedgewood's blocker and then the crossbar.
Steel made it 4-0 at 3:43 of the second period. He worked a give-and-go with Jason Robertson at center ice and lifted a backhander over Mrazek from the right circle.
Marchment increased the lead to 5-0 with a power-play goal at 12:50, receiving a pass from Seguin and scoring from between the circles for his 11th of the season.
Kurashev got the Blackhawks on the board 39 seconds into third period when he completed a pretty passing sequence by scoring on a one-timer from the right circle off a cross-ice pass from Bedard on a power play.
Hintz made it 6-1 when he tipped in the rebound of Thomas Harley's shot at 4:46.
Marchment scored his second goal of the game when he redirected Seguin's shot home at 14:29 and then added a tip-in at 18:46 for the 8-1 final.

European Union - Full throttle before the elections: Belgium takes over the EU Council Presidency
Belgium took over the rotating presidency of the EU Council at the turn of the year. The country will therefore play an important mediating role in the European Union over the next six months. In addition to the ongoing war in Ukraine and the associated difficult discussions between EU countries, two upcoming elections in June are likely to be particularly challenging: In addition to the European Parliament elections, Belgium is also electing a new government on the same day.
EU enlargement an important topic
One focus of the Belgian Council Presidency will be on preparing the accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova. The EU countries agreed in December to begin these as soon as outstanding obligations have been fulfilled. "With a view to a possible future enlargement, let it be clear that we are ready to deliver during this Presidency," said Belgium's Prime Minister Alexander De Croo when presenting the priorities of the Belgian Presidency in December.
To this end, a roadmap for necessary internal EU adjustments is also to be drawn up. These are necessary in order to maintain a functioning Union, explained De Croo.
Focus on green transformation and migration
In addition, the Belgian Council Presidency is paying particular attention to the topic of migration. For example, the reform of the asylum system, which the countries and the European Parliament agreed on shortly before Christmas, still needs to be formally confirmed. In general, the focus will also be on further advancing the green transformation and the fight against organized crime and drug trafficking.
War in Ukraine still an issue
The ongoing war in Ukraine and the associated challenges in Europe's energy supply will also continue to be a topic under the Belgian Council Presidency. This will also involve further financial support for Ukraine.
At the EU summit at the end of the year, a new aid program worth 50 billion euros for the next four years was supposed to have been agreed. However, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban prevented this with a veto. A special EU summit on the next steps has been announced for February 1.
Time is short
With the European elections at the beginning of June just around the corner, time is running out for pending legislation. The necessary negotiations between EU countries and the European Parliament for new regulations must be completed by mid-February, according to reports. After that, the election campaign will begin.
Belgium's Permanent Representative to the EU, Willem van de Voorde, recently said that the simultaneous elections for a new Belgian government were a "minor complication". However, he was not worried - the machinery was working well.
Council presidency rotates every six months
The 27 EU members rotate the presidency of the EU Council every six months. Belgium is now taking over the Council Presidency for the 13th time. The country holding the presidency chairs numerous meetings in Brussels, Luxembourg - and normally in its own country. This is no longer necessary now that the EU headquarters are in the Belgian capital. However, some meetings at ministerial level are planned in other cities in the western neighboring country.
The respective presidency sets its own priorities and tries to mediate in controversies: It has an important role to play in negotiating compromises between the EU states, but also between the EU states and the Parliament. Spain held the presidency before Belgium, and Sweden before that. Germany last held the presidency in the second half of 2020.

The Central Bank of Russia has tightened limits on loans from January 1, 2024
On January 1, new restrictions of the Central Bank (CB) on issuing unsecured loans and credit cards came into force in Russia – more stringent macroprudential limits (MPL) for such loans began to apply to banks and microfinance organizations. Regulator tightened measures at the end of November.
Now the permissible share of consumer loans for borrowers with a debt burden ratio (DLO) from 50 to 80 percent in the first quarter of 2024 will be 25 percent compared to 30 percent in the previous quarter. For credit cards, the loan limit will be 10 percent versus 20. For microfinance organizations (MFOs), it has been reduced from 30 to 25 percent.
Earlier it became known that from March 1, 2024, the Central Bank will increase premiums on risk ratios for loans with a high debt burden ratio (PDI). The innovations are designed to limit the growth of mortgages by involving highly indebted Russians and encourage credit institutions to use official information about clients’ incomes when assessing their debt burden.

Abu Dhabi Fund for Development finances renewable energy projects worth AED4.4 billion
Driving the objectives of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, these projects have contributed to the production of about 2,584 MW of renewable energy in different countries, WAM reports.
Since 1974, ADFD has contributed to financing about AED2.7 billion ($737 million) in renewable energy projects through joint financing agreements with the governments of many developing countries. The remaining funds were allocated through innovative and strategic partnerships including the seven-cycle AED1.285 billion ($350 million) IRENA/ADFD Project Facility, the AED183.4 million ($50 million) UAE-Caribbean Renewable Energy Fund (UAE-CREF), as well as the UAE-Pacific Partnership Fund, UAE-PPF, valued at AED183.4 million ($50 million).
Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi, Director-General of ADFD, said, "The Abu Dhabi Fund for Development believes in the vital role the renewable energy sector plays in attaining the sustainable development goals in developing countries. This important sector stimulates economic growth, creates employment opportunities, drives innovation, supports the advancement of other key sectors, and optimises the use of natural resources - all crucial factors in improving people's lives."
"Over the past four-and-a-half decades, ADFD has financed projects in the renewable energy sector that meet the national priorities of developing countries. Through securing sources of energy, these projects have enabled the production of low-cost, affordable electricity and improved standards of living in these countries," Al Suwaidi added.
In addition to supporting sustainable development in key socio-economic sectors, ADFD has funded important renewable energy projects.

KINSHASA, Congo — Congo's President Felix Tshisekedi has won reelection with more than 70% of the vote, the country's election commission said Sunday as opposition candidates and their supporters questioned the validity of the results.
The preliminary results of the Dec. 20 election were announced in the capital, Kinshasa, amid demands from the opposition and some civil society groups for the vote to be rerun due to massive logistical problems that they said had undermined the balloting.
Tshisekedi's overwhelming declared victory was likely to fuel those concerns. The second-place candidate was businessman Moise Katumbi, who received 18% of the vote, and Martin Fayulu, who received 5%, finished third. Nobel Peace Prize winner Denis Mukwege, a physician renowned for treating women brutalized by sexual violence in eastern Congo, got less than 1%.
Speaking from his headquarters in the capital after the results were announced, Tshisekedi thanked his supporters for giving him another five-year term.
"You believed in my commitment so that our country can find its place in the concert of nations," he said. "You have embraced my vision of society. I will spare no effort for more jobs, more purchasing power, more access to basic services at all levels."
About 18 million people voted in the election, which had a turnout of more than a 40%, according to the election commission. The results will be sent to the constitutional court for confirmation, election chief Denis Kadima said.
Candidates opposing the results have two days to submit their claims, and the constitutional court then has seven days to decide. The final results are expected on January 10, and the president is scheduled to be sworn in at the end of that month.
Congo has a history of disputed elections that can turn violent, and there's little confidence among many Congolese in the country's institutions. Before the results were announced Sunday, opposition candidates, including Katumbi, said they rejected the results and called on the population to mobilize.
The logistical problems included many polling stations being late in opening or not opening at all. Some lacked materials, and many voter cards had smudged ink that made them illegible.
Voting in the election had to be extended into a second day— something local observers and civil society organizations have called illegal — and parts of the country were still casting ballots five days after election day.
"If a foreign country considers these elections to be elections, there's a problem," Fayulu said at a news conference in the capital Sunday before the results were announced. "It's a farce, don't accept (the results)."
Violence was already flaring in parts of the country before the results were announced. In the eastern city of Goma, youth barricaded some main streets demanding a revote. Earlier this week, clashes erupted between some of Fayulu's supporters and police officers who fired tear gas at protesters who threw rocks and barricaded themselves inside the opposition headquarters.
"These elections are an example of fraud and ballot-box stuffing, flouting any transparent and credible electoral process and, moreover, democracy," said Bienvenu Matumo, a member of LUCHA, a local rights group.
Leading up to and during the vote, the election commission was accused of not being transparent enough. The East African Community said its election observer mission was not granted access to Congo, and the European Union canceled its mission after authorities did not authorize the use of satellite equipment by EU monitors.
Congo analysts say the thousands of observers that were in the country were unable to say whether the irregularities had an impact on the overall integrity of the results, leaving it to the election commission.
Tshisekedi already has spent much of his time in office trying to gain legitimacy after a disputed 2018 election that some observers said Fayulu had actually won.
Overall, Tshisekedi's track record has been spotty. He's struggled to stem violence in the east, a goal he campaigned on.
Conflict in eastern Congo has raged for decades, with more than 120 armed groups fighting for power, resources and to protect their communities. But the violence has spiked during Tshisekedi's term with the resurgence of the M23 rebels, who have displaced millions of people and seized swaths of land. The fighting prevented 1.5 million people from registering to vote.
Attempts to quell the violence with an East African Force comprised of troops from neighboring countries have failed. The force is pulling out, along with a U.N. peacekeeping mission that has been in Congo for decades.
Still, Tshisekedi's initiatives creating free health care for pregnant mothers and babies and providing free primary education has changed the lives of some people living in remote villages.
"My brothers can go to school now without my parents paying, which allows my father to put that money to buying food for the family," John Nlaza, a resident of a small village in Kongo Central province told The Associated Press.
Congolese analysts said it's important to view Tshisekedi's win with caution given the significant uncertainty of the presidential election's validity.
"The opposition's contesting of the results is not only a predictable reaction, but it also highlights the persistence of a deeper crisis of legitimacy at the top of the state," Tresor Kibangula, a political analyst at the Congolese research institute Ebuteli, said. "This battle will depend on (the opposition's) ability to mobilize the Congolese people for its cause, with a view to reversing the balance of power."

Flames end losing streak by edging Flyers
Dennis Gilbert broke a third-period tie with his first goal of the season and added an earlier assist while Blake Coleman collected one of each in his 500th NHL game as the host Calgary Flames defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 on Sunday.
Mikael Backlund and Nazem Kadri also tallied for the Flames, who completed a comeback win in the New Year's Eve clash and snapped a two-game losing skid. Goaltender Jacob Markstrom made 27 saves to record the win.
Andrew Mangiapane collected three assists.
Rasmus Ristolainen, Bobby Brink and Egor Zamula replied for the Flyers, who have only one victory in their last five games (1-2-2). Goalie Samuel Ersson made 28 saves in a very strong goaltender battle.
With the score tied 1-1, Gilbert put the Flames ahead 7:29 into the third period. Off a rush, Jonathan Huberdeau fired a long cross-ice pass that Gilbert blasted to snap a 37-game drought.
Kadri made it 3-1 with 5:31 remaining when he raced down the wing and snapped a short-side shot past Ersson's glove for his 10th of the season.
However, Brink made it a one-goal game again with 3:24 remaining in regulation when he pounced on a rebound for his seventh of the campaign.
Coleman made it 4-2 affair an empty-net goal, his 13th of the season, and it ended up the game-winning goal because Zamula converted a long slap shot with 82 seconds remaining for his team's second tally with the goalie pulled for the extra attacker
Markstrom held the fort during a wild final minute in a game that was short on offense during the first two frames.
Ristolainen opened the scoring midway through the first period with his first of the season. He zipped to the net from his defensive position and converted a cross-ice feed from Ryan Poehling.
Backlund evened the scoring with 99 seconds remaining in the second period. Mangiapane spied Backlund alone in the slot and upon receiving the pass, the Calgary captain ripped a top-corner shot for his eighth of the season. The goal moved Backlund into ninth spot on the franchise's all-time points list.

Survey - Little hope for peace in Ukraine and Gaza in 2024
A clear majority of Germans do not expect the wars in Ukraine and Gaza to end in 2024. According to a survey conducted by the opinion research institute Yougov on behalf of Deutsche Presse-Agentur, 70% of respondents believe it is unlikely that Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, which has been ongoing for almost two years, will cease before the end of the year. Only 15 percent rate such a scenario as likely. Since the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022, tens of thousands of soldiers have been killed on both sides. Thousands of Ukrainian civilians have also lost their lives.
Although hopes for an end to the Gaza war are somewhat higher, a majority of 52% do not expect this to happen. Only 32% believe that the war is likely to end in 2024, while 16% do not say.
Since the terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, Israeli forces have been fighting the Islamist Hamas in the Gaza Strip. According to the Hamas-controlled health authority, more than 21,800 people have already been killed in the Israeli military operation. The figures cannot be confirmed, but the UN and other observers point out that they have so far proved to be generally credible.
The war was triggered by the worst terrorist attack on Israel in its history, for which Hamas and other extremist groups are responsible. Around 1,200 people were killed on the Israeli side, including at least 850 civilians.
Ukraine war is seen as the greatest threat
When asked which conflict is perceived as the greatest threat by people in Germany, the survey provides a clear answer: 40 percent of respondents rate the Ukraine war as the greatest threat, 18 percent the Gaza war and 15 percent find the conflict between China and Taiwan the most threatening. A further 6 percent said that another conflict apart from these three was even more threatening. 21 percent did not say.
According to the opinion research institute, Yougov surveyed 2092 adults online between December 15 and 19 for the representative poll.

By DaVince “Dino” Wright
The Dallas Mavericks went 2-2 last week against some of the leagues best teams. The Mavs had a 10-point win over the Golden State Warriors to stop a 2-game losing streak. Dallas dropped 2 very winnable games against the Minnesota Timberwolves and Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs game really irks me. They were up by 15 at half and let the Cavaliers back into it and found a way to lose the game. This week Dallas will face the Utah Jazz on the road, then have the Portland Trail Blazers (back-to-back at home) and Minnesota Timbervolves at home. Dallas will need to continue to tweak the rotation in order to keep winning games. I see them going 3-1 this week. Let’s take a closer look at this week’s schedule.
How bad do you want it?
I’m a former athlete and I was never that guy to make a team just to become a cheerleader. Playing professional basketball is the dream of millions of young women and men across the world. Here’s where I have a problem. I will not sacrifice my values and core beliefs to become something whether it be an athlete or as a professional. I want to be the best and I cannot display my talents sitting on the bench. I know I can cheer for my team mates. I understand that I’m on a team, but my team needs me to perform so that we can win. I hope that there’s an athlete out there that’s reading this. If you are on the bench, work hard and get off of the bench and get into the game!
Upcoming Schedule – All Times Central
Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz
Date: January 1
Time: 8:00 p.m.
TV: Bally Sports
Dallas will need to go deep into their bench during this game. The Jazz is a struggling team and Dallas needs to see what they have sitting on the bench. Practice play is totally different from game time speed. Keep an eye on the defensive side of the ball for Dallas.
Final Score: Jazz 100 – Mavericks 122
Portland Trail Blazers vs Dallas Mavericks
Date: January 3
Time: 7:30 p.m.
TV: Bally Sports
This is the first game of a three game home stand. They start things off going against the Trail Blazers for two in a row. Dallas will need to clamp down on defense. The Trail Blazers SF Jeremy Grant is a handful on defense and on the boards. I’m taking Dallas by 10!
Final Score: Trail Blazers 85 – Mavericks 95
Portland Trail Blazers vs Dallas Mavericks
Date: January 5
Time: 7:30 p.m.
TV: Bally Sports
This is the second game of the home back-to-back series with the Trail Blazers for Dallas. I would like to see the Mavericks using their big men. I can see Tim Hardaway, Jr., moving into the starting line up. They are using him as their sixth man currently. I’m taking Dallas by 14!
Final Score: Trail Blazers 86 – Mavericks 100
Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks
Date: January 7
Time: 6:30 p.m.
TV: Bally Sports
At the time of this article, Dallas is 0-2 against the Timberwolves this season. Dallas has dropped two games to Minnesota by an average of 13 points. The issue is rebounding and turnovers. If Dallas can clean up the turnovers and get 5 more defensive boards they could beat Minnesota. Dallas will need to play tough defense this game. I’m still taking the Timberwolves until the Mavs can prove me wrong and beat them!
Finals Score: Timberwolves 117 – Mavericks 109 | https://blitzweekly.com/dallas-mavericks-gains/ | 2024-01-01T05:46:20Z |
Kohoutek's comet was even called the “comet of the century”. It was followed closely at the beginning of 1974.
In January 1974: Even on New Year's Day, the people of Helsinki did not get to see Kohoutek's comet from the astronomical association's Ursa tower from the Kaivopuisto cliffs, but as of Wednesday, the tower's doors will be open every evening for several hours and as far into spring as Kohoutek can be seen in Finland.
“The possibility of seeing Kohout on New Year's Day was so small that we haven't organized an emergency at the tower yet,” says Juhani Kyyrö, who works as a caretaker of the tower
Usually, Ursa opens its tower in the spring in mid-February, but Kohoutek causes an earlier opening this time. Kyyrö says that the tower opens every evening half an hour after sunset and stays open until 9 p.m.
During this time, there are always at least two experts in the tower – mainly astronomy students – who tell what is visible and happening in the sky.
“Konoute attracts people now, but there is much more to look at in the spring sky,” says Juhani Kyyro. He thinks that a dozen people in his groups would be a suitable group to watch at a time. – –
Kyyrö is of the opinion that despite the possible crowding, the people of Helsinki should take advantage of the Ursa tower, because according to forecasts, Kohoutek can only be seen really well with the naked eye a few times.
On the other hand, with a telescope, you can watch it in peace all the time, if only the weather stays clear.

All instructions of Head of State in high demand by youth – Information Minister
"In fact, all the instructions of the Head of State are now in high demand by youth. So, it's hard to single out one. But, in terms of a long-term effect, including an economic one, I would highlight the Zhas Maman (‘young specialist') program. It is planned that at least one advanced higher-education institution and 10 colleges with a renewed curriculum will operate in each region, and the faculty will include foreign specialists," the minister said on Khabar TV Channel.
Dauren Abayev maintains that this will make it possible to take vocational education in Kazakhstan to a new quality level.
The minister emphasized that unfortunately, there is a popular opinion in the society that colleges are the places for those, who have not entered a university. "I am sure that the President's instruction will be the point of departure in changing the situation for the better," the minister added.
It is to be recalled that the Head of State tasked to create in each region a top university like Nazarbayev University with the involvement of foreign professors and 10 top colleges, which will be corresponding to the 100/200 principle. The President also proposed to provide the colleges with modern equipment. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/all-instructions-of-head-of-state-in-high-demand-by-youth-information-minister_a3491452/ | 2024-01-01T05:46:21Z |

Nathan MacKinnon stays hot at home as Avs get by Sharks
Valeri Nichushkin had a goal and an assist, Mikko Rantanen and Josh Manson also scored and the Colorado Avalanche beat the San Jose Sharks 3-1 in Denver on Sunday night.
Nathan MacKinnon had two assists and Alexandar Georgiev stopped 10 shots for Colorado.
Tomas Hertl scored and Kaapo Kahkonen made 30 saves for San Jose, which has lost eight straight games, all in regulation.
MacKinnon had his 19-game point streak ended Friday night at St. Louis, but he extended his home point streak to 19 games with an assist on Rantanen's goal. It is the longest home point streak to start a season in franchise history.
Colorado defenseman Samuel Girard was back in the lineup after missing 20 games while receiving care from the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. He resumed practicing with the team last week and was activated Saturday.
The Avalanche got the game-winning goal on a delayed penalty. Jack Johnson had the puck in the slot and passed it to Nichushkin at the bottom of the right circle, and Nichushkin put it into the open net at 16:31 of the third. It was his 17th goal of the season.
The Sharks pulled Kahkonen for an extra skater, and Manson scored into an empty net at 18:53 for his fourth marker of the season.
The Avalanche broke through on their first power-play opportunity early in the game. Nichushkin fed MacKinnon at the bottom of the left circle, MacKinnon slid a pass through the slot to Rantanen at the other circle and Rantanen one-timed it by Kahkonen at 6:58 of the first.
It was his 19th goal of the season.
San Jose had just five shots on goal late into the second period but started to apply pressure and got a power play at 16:45. Just eight seconds later, Mikael Granlund passed to Hertl in the slot, and Hertl's wrist shot beat Georgiev to tie things at 1-1.
The Sharks nearly took the lead late in the second when a turnover gave Granlund a wide-open shot from in close, but he was unable to convert.

Masala: Europe completely unprepared for Trump's return
If Donald Trump returns to the White House, Carlo Masala sees black for Europe. The time for serious preparations has probably already passed, the military expert concludes. He calls for concrete measures to ensure the continent's security.
Military expert Carlo Masala believes that Europe is largely unprepared for the return of Donald Trump as US President. He sees "neither the German government nor the rest of Europe seriously preparing for this. We have probably already missed the right time," the political scientist at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich told the Funke Mediengruppe newspaper.
Europe must be able to guarantee the security of the continent itself under completely different circumstances. "Trump would probably say to the European NATO states: you have to spend a lot more money now, otherwise we will withdraw your protection," he predicted. "And we're no longer talking about two percent of the respective economic output, but significantly more."
Masala also reiterated: "Trump would probably only give bilateral security guarantees, but no more through the alliance. Only those states that comply with his demands - for example with regard to defense spending - would then be under American protection." Those European states that did not join in would then be left without American security guarantees. "Basically, that would be blackmail."
"Need a European nuclear umbrella"
"If the Americans no longer guarantee protection, we need a European nuclear umbrella," Masala demanded. He advised exploring "the extent to which France has an interest in its national nuclear force being paid for from other sources". France's nuclear strategy has so far been purely national. "Perhaps it will be possible to change this to the effect that, under certain circumstances, France would also be prepared to defend neighboring European countries with its nuclear weapons."
Masala argued that the second European nuclear power, the UK, should also be brought on board. "It no longer belongs to the European Union," he said. "But for countries like Poland or Romania, the idea of depending solely on the French nuclear umbrella is probably unacceptable." In any case, there will be no nuclear suitcase that is stored in Brussels or "moves back and forth between the European capitals", said Masala. Such demands are nonsense.
Masala said his biggest concern for the new year was "that we will not be able to guarantee lasting support for Ukraine. In this case, the aggressor Russia would prevail," said the expert. A Russian victory would permanently destabilize Europe's security - both in terms of foreign policy and domestic politics.

The year 2023 has already come to an end and we have seen many players take a leap in quality. Next, we will review the stars and future stars that can emerge in 2024. Transferred to Europe, about to be sold or those who have already shown the conditions to break it: always in 90Min style, we show you those footballers who you should throw out one eye on the football year that is already upon us, which never gives a break. Trust what we tell you.
The 17-year-old midfielder suffered a sprained ankle against Gibraltar that will keep him off the field until 2024, a year in which he will surely excel. He is the best midfielder PSG has. Since the beginning of the season, Zaïre-Emery had emerged as a fundamental pillar for Luis Enrique, who had not hesitated to give him control of the midfield.
Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have jumped ahead of Barça in the queue to sign the wonderful boy, who until now plays for Palmeiras. “Messinho” is his nickname and 2024 will be key to watch it.
In the world of football, there is always room for new stars: Girona FC, revelation of La Liga, has found an emerging gem in the figure of Sávio Moreira de Oliveira. According to Fabrizio Romano, the City Football Group has made the decision to listen to the lowest offer for the 19-year-old Brazilian, since the winger will be sent to the company's strong club, Manchester City. Pay attention to 2024.
Claudio Echeverri is about to be sold to Manchester City, in exchange for 25 million dollars. He is going to stay a while longer in River. He stood out with the Argentine youth team, when he plays in the “Millo” he shows that he is different and in the future he will have the opportunity to demonstrate it in the elite.
Vítor Roque already wears the colors of FC Barcelona, becoming one of the reinforcements with the greatest potential in recent years. After paying 30 million dollars for his signing six months ago and with the possibility of having to spend another 31 extra dollars on variables, the 18-year-old forward who has just broken it at Athletico Paranaense brings with him a lot of expectations for his performance in the ” Furacao” and in the youth teams of the Brazilian national team.
2023 has been the consecration of the young man who on July 21, 2024, when he turns 18, will officially be a Real Madrid player, so his expectations are very high. The 17-year-old boy, scorer of the goal with which Palmeiras became champion, surpasses the scoring records of great Brazilian stars with his age.

New Year: Attacks on rescue workers in Berlin - 18-year-old dies in Koblenz
According to the police, more than 230 arrests had been made in Berlin by around 02:00 on Monday. In addition, 15 officers were injured, the police announced via the online service X (formerly Twitter). At numerous locations throughout the city, emergency and rescue services were attacked with pyrotechnics, alarm guns and bottles. According to the police, the situation calmed down again at around 03:00.
At the Neptune Fountain not far from Alexanderplatz, 500 people threw pyrotechnics at each other before midnight. When police officers intervened, they were reportedly shot at with fireworks by a group of 200 people. According to the Berlin police, several people were arrested.
In Gropiusstadt in the Neukölln district, police reported that a parked police car was shot at with a bullet bomb and damaged so badly that it had to be taken out of action. Nine arrests were also made in Neukölln after people tried to make Molotov cocktails out of glass bottles, scraps of cloth and petrol.
The Berlin fire department was also in constant action: according to their own information, the emergency services were called out more than 500 times in just a few hours, including to several fires in apartments and a garage complex in the Wilmersdorf district.
In Berlin, the police were deployed in large numbers. The fire department also increased the number of firefighters after the riots at the turn of the year last year. On New Year's Eve 2022/23, emergency and rescue services were massively attacked in Berlin and other cities. In some cases, the police had to be deployed to protect firefighters from attacks while extinguishing fires.
On Thursday, the Berlin police and fire department appealed to the public in a video published on the online platform X. "Don't attack us. Don't shoot us with firecrackers, rockets or alarm guns," it said.
In other German cities, the turn of the year was relatively calm compared to last year. In Stuttgart, the police gave an initial positive assessment of their operations around the Schlossplatz. By 4.00 a.m. on Monday, the officers had reportedly recorded around 30 charges, mainly violations of the Explosives Act. According to the police, there were no "serious incidents".
The emergency services in cities such as Mainz and Bochum made similar statements. According to the police in Koblenz, one officer was hit by pyrotechnics but remained unharmed. However, there was a tragic accident in the Rübenach district of Koblenz: an 18-year-old was fatally injured when a firecracker was set off and died despite attempts at resuscitation.
In Cologne, security measures around the cathedral were stepped up once again for New Year's Eve. According to the head of the Cologne police traffic directorate, Frank Wißbaum, around 1,000 police officers were deployed to secure the area and protect the public. The Cologne police had previously announced that they had taken three more terror suspects into custody in connection with possible plans to attack the cathedral.
The security forces in Cologne have been on heightened alert since Christmas due to a terror warning. Following the "danger warning", the Cologne police searched the cathedral with sniffer dogs on the day before Christmas Eve. No explosives were found. The Christmas masses took place in the following days under heightened security measures.

Almaty students address their peers
Students of the top-ranking Kazakhstani university called on the youth of Kazakhstan to join the Art and energy of the youth to innovative development of the country movement.
Over 2,000 young people - leaders of the students' organizations, scientists, startuppers, entrepreneurs, and volunteers gathered at the forum.
Rector of the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, academician Galym Mutanov stressed that over the years of independence Kazakhstan nurtured absolutely new generation. The President of the country and the state have poured a lot of efforts into its development.
The participants shared their thoughts on what contribution they can make to implement the tasks set by the Head of State.
"We truly hope that the government will support all ideas put forward by the youth. It will help create favorable innovative atmosphere and turn the energy of youngsters into a creative power. Whether Kazakhstan will be able to join the club of the world's 30 most developed countries will depend on us," noted one of the participants Akerke Zhakanova.
The participants called on the youth of the country to join the movement and channel their knowledge and skills creative ideas, projects and innovations. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/almaty-students-address-their-peers_a3491655/ | 2024-01-01T05:46:36Z |
The conflict in Ukraine is still ongoing only because the United States does not want it to end. Irish MEP Mick Wallace announced this on his page on the social network X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, December 31.
“We have had four plenary meetings in Strasbourg since the genocide began in the Gaza Strip, and until now we have not had a resolution on this issue. But we did not have enough resolutions on the US-NATO proxy war in Ukraine. And we didn’t want a ceasefire in Ukraine or Gaza, because the US empire didn’t want that,” he expressed his position.
Earlier, on December 21, the American newspaper The Nation wrote that Kyiv’s victory is unlikely, so the United States and European countries should bring Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to the peace negotiations table. Americans are “rightly concerned” about the size of financial investments in Ukraine, which is located thousands of miles from the United States, it added.
Prior to this, on December 7, First Deputy Assistant to the US President for National Security Jonathan Feiner said that Washington intends to ensure that Russia enters into negotiations on the Ukrainian conflict on terms favorable to Ukraine at the end of 2024. Reacting to this, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called such an intention “absolutely unrealistic.”
On October 15, the former head of the Ukrainian government Mykola Azarov said that the West is destroying Ukraine, sparing no expense, and this is happening with the approval of the Ukrainians themselves. He recalled that in 2013, the Ukrainian government calculated that in order to join the EU, the country needed to spend about $160 billion on the development and modernization of industry. However, the European Union proposed to allocate only $1 billion, Azarov recalled.
Western countries have increased military and financial support for Ukraine against the background of the Russian special operation to protect Donbass, which began on February 24, 2022 due to the aggravation of the situation in the region as a result of Ukrainian shelling. At the same time, recently there have been increasingly frequent statements in the West about the need to reduce support for Ukraine.

Rice calls for mentality change after Arsenal suffer second straight defeat
Jan 1 (Reuters) - Arsenal need to build a stronger in-game mentality, midfielder Declan Rice said after the north London club dropped points in back-to-back matches with a 2-1 defeat against Fulham on Sunday, hurting their Premier League title challenge.
Arsenal failed to capitalise on an early lead given by Bukayo Saka at Craven Cottage, slipping to fourth place on 40 points at the halfway stage of the campaign, having lost 2-0 at home against West Ham United on Thursday.
While there may be pressure from reigning champions Manchester City and this season's surprise package Aston Villa's victories over the weekend, Rice said Arsenal will not hit the panic button.
"When you go 1-0 up, you need to take more control and have more self-belief," Rice told Sky Sports.
"You need to have more desire, the mentality needs to be better. We need to demand more for each other.
"In this league, there's no room to mess up. There's so many good teams around you and we want to be pushing up the top end of the table. It's a tough one to take today."
Arsenal are not fixated on the points table, Rice added.
Villa moved up to 42 points, the same as Liverpool, who lead on goal difference and host Newcastle United later on Monday, while City sit third with a game in hand.
"There's a lot of media who talk and say 'Arsenal will win the league this year, Arsenal are better this year', and whatnot. But we don't get involved in that, we just try to take every game as we can, one by one," Rice said.
"We've been doing really well. There's been a blip in the road, but there's no room to panic. There's still so many games to go, we need to stay positive. It's not the time to be negative."
