Volunteers from Haddon and Smythesdale CFA stations had barely rung in the new year when they received a call to a grass fire on a property at the corner of Lacys Road and Vaggs Road in Ross Creek at 12.49am.
Hours later their pagers sounded again to alert them to a car fire at the corner of Sago Hill Road and Greenhalghs Road in Bunkers Hill about 5.20am.
They arrived to find a red three-door hatchback well alight.
Police were called and will investigate the circumstances surrounding the blaze.
Despite a large number of illegal fireworks being let off as the clock struck midnight, police said Ballarat residents and visitors celebrating new year's eve were well behaved with no major incidents reported.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or can make a report at crimestoppers.com.au.

McBride hauled in six of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 35-31 win over the Eagles.
McBride tacked on six more receptions to his season total (78) in the follow-up performance to his six-catch game against the Bears in Week 16. Even with the healthy usage, the sophomore tight end still finished with less than 50 receiving yards for the second contest in a row. Even though his production has dipped in recent weeks, McBride remains a top option at a shallow fantasy position as Arizona prepares to face Seattle to close out the regular season in Week 18.

INDIANAPOLIS — As of late on the last night of the year, Indianapolis’ 2023 homicide total showed a 7% decrease from the year before.
IMPD detectives determined homicide was involved in 216 killings this past year, down from 226 homicides in 2022.
The clearance rate of those detectives stands at approximately 45%, indicating almost half of the cases they investigated this year resulted in either an arrest or in the filing of charges.
Ten times IMPD officers fired bullets that took lives in officer-involved shootings.
Other agencies throughout Marion County accounted for 15 homicide investigations.
All year long, FOX59 and CBS4 have given you the names and shown you the faces of people who died as the result of violence in Marion County.
Some were young children, who were almost unknown.
Others had familiar names, such as Mike Chappel, also known as “Mike Treez,” known throughout Indy as a community leader and DJ.
”My dad was a lot of things to a lot of people,” said Ebony Chappel. ”He meant a lot to the community and is somebody who will never be forgotten.”
As Chappel neared the home of a relative in the 1000 block of West 37th Street early on the morning of Sept. 3, IMPD homicide detectives said a gunman emerged from the shadows between houses and opened fire, fatally wounding Mike Treez and another person while injuring a third.
The killings remain unsolved.
”These bullets don’t necessarily have names attached to them,” said Ebony, “and when people are out here deciding that that is the way they want to solve their problems, they’re not taking into account the deep impact that has on everybody.”
As the result of boosted city spending and community engagement, programs and organizations have sprung up across Indianapolis to support the families and friends of homicide victims.
”Sometimes, when people lose loved ones this way, there’s all the attention in the beginning, and then as the days go on, its almost like that level of support is forgotten about,” said Ebony. “People forget that, even after the funeral has happened, even after the ceremonial parts have occurred, you still have to live the rest of your life and get up every day and not have this person be a part of it.”
Chappel’s Free People Party and other like-minded groups held a celebration of life for their lost loved ones at an east side pub Sunday night to ring in a new year of hope and leave the heartbreak of 2023 behind.
”Gun violence doesn’t have the last say,” Ebony said. ”Joy screws up murder’s plans for us. Murder and homicide and all that would like to keep us in a box so that we can’t progress as a people, so that we can’t move forward, but even in the midst of that, I remember that my father was a very joyful person and that gives me hope to keep going.”
A portion of the New Years Eve party proceeds went to funding victims’ support programs.
Anyone with information on any of the more than 150 unresolved homicide cases of 2023 is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (317) 262-TIPS.
Such a tip could be worth a $1,000 reward and a clear conscience for 2024.

The Bills may have defeated the Patriots in their Week 17 matchup, but New England’s defense disrupted Buffalo’s offense throughout the game.
In the first quarter, Buffalo’s defense forced three New England turnovers, but the Bills were only able to score one touchdown despite starting deep in Patriots’ territory.
“That was one of the longest quarters I’ve ever been a part of,” Bills quarterback Josh Allen told reporters following the game, per team-provided video. “Three possessions down there in the first quarter and we only scored one touchdown. That’s not good enough on our end.
“We got to be better prepared to go and get six and seven there. We lucked out. Our defense played a heck of a game and we got to just try to find a way to win.”
Story continues below advertisement
The Patriots’ defense held Allen to 46 yards passing in the first half, not allowing the signal caller to get into the flow of his game.
“I was just off. Trying to find rhythm early. Just couldn’t seem to find one,” Allen said. “Felt like we got to a little bit of a groove in the third and fourth quarter. Gotta start better than that. It’s never fun throwing incomplete pass after incomplete pass.”
Allen added: “I think they did a good job of rushing and just making me feel some stuff at my feet and just got the timing off just so ever slightly and that’s all it really takes. They played good coverage in the back end.”
Allen threw for 169 yards in the game on 15 completions of 30 attempts with one interception. The 2018 first-round draft pick may not have had a perfect throwing game, but he rushed for two one-yard touchdowns.

Trump’s New Year’s Eve Attack on Ex-Staffers Turned Critics
On the eve of the New Year, former President Donald Trump launched a series of attacks against his ex-employees who have transformed into critics, with a particular focus on those who have cooperated with the January 6 House Select Committee examining the Capitol riot. Trump took to Truth Social, his platform of choice, reposting old praise-filled tweets from these individuals.
Alyssa Farah, Sarah Matthews, and Cassidy Hutchinson
Among those targeted are Alyssa Farah, a former White House Communications Director under Trump, who exited in December 2020 and has since evolved into a conservative critic and co-host of The View. Sarah Matthews, the former White House Deputy Press Secretary, who tendered her resignation on the infamous day of the Capitol riot and later testified before the committee, was also in the line of fire. Cassidy Hutchinson, an erstwhile aide to Trump’s Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, is another critic who confirmed startling accounts of Trump’s behavior during the insurrection.
Warnings of a Second Trump Term
The trio recently appeared on ABC’s This Week, sounding alarm bells about the potential perils of a second term for Trump, even going to the extent of suggesting it could spell the end of American democracy. Reacting to this, the Trump campaign dismissed them as ‘ungrateful grifters’ who had turned ‘full Judas.’
Unfounded Claims and Conspiracy Theories
Trump also indulged in promoting unfounded allegations about Democrats utilizing illegal immigration to influence the outcome of the 2024 election, accusing them of attempting to register migrants to vote unlawfully. These accusations form part of a broader narrative that Trump has been propagating, attacking the integrity of the democratic system and alleging electoral fraud.

Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II to step down from throne on Jan. 14
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II announced Sunday that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik.
The queen, who is Europe’s longest-reigning living monarch, announced during her New Year’s speech that she would step down on Jan. 14th, which is the anniversary of her own accession to the throne at age 31 following the death of her father, King Frederik IX.
Margrethe, 83, said the back surgery she underwent in early 2023 led to “thoughts about the future” and when to pass on the responsibilities of the crown to her son. “I have decided that now is the right time,” she said in her speech.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen paid tribute to her in a statement, offering a “heartfelt thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for her lifelong dedication and tireless efforts for the Kingdom.”
Margrethe is the “epitome of Denmark” Frederiksen’s statement read, and “throughout the years has put words and feelings into who we are as a people and as a nation.”
The 6-foot-tall (1.82-meters-tall), chain-smoking Margrethe has been one of the most popular public figures in Denmark, where the monarch’s role is largely ceremonial. She often walked the streets of Copenhagen virtually unescorted and won the admiration of Danes for her warm manners and for her talents as a linguist and designer.
A keen skier, she was a member of a Danish women’s air force unit as a princess, taking part in judo courses and endurance tests in the snow. Margrethe remained tough even as she grew older. In 2011, at age 70, she visited Danish troops in southern Afghanistan wearing a military jumpsuit.
As monarch, she crisscrossed the country and regularly visited Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, the two semi-independent territories which are part of the Danish Realm, and was met everywhere by cheering crowds.
Denmark has Europe’s oldest ruling monarchy, which traces its line back to the Viking king Gorm the Old, who died in 958. Although Magrethe is head of state, the Danish Constitution strictly ruled out her involvement in party politics.
Yet the queen was clearly well-versed in law and knew the contents of the legislation she was called upon to sign.
She received training in French and English from her earliest years, as well as Swedish from her mother. In addition to archaeology, she studied philosophy, political science and economics at universities in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Cambridge along with the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne in Paris.
Ever since his birth on May 26, 1968, Frederik André Henrik Christian has been the heir to the Danish throne.
He is the oldest son of Queen Margrethe and her late French-born husband, Prince Henrik, who died February 2018. Frederik, 55, has a younger brother, Prince Joachim.
Since the age of 18, he has served as regent whenever his mother was outside the kingdom and carried out official duties, shaking hands with thousands and receiving foreign dignitaries.
The queen’s announcement made up only a few sentences at the end of her wide-ranging New Year’s speech which reflected on the “turbulence and upheaval in the world” amid the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the climate crisis.
But she also thanked her nation’s people for “the warmth and hospitality I meet with everywhere in Denmark.”
While lavishing accolades on the queen, the prime minister also looked to the future.
“In the new year, Crown Prince Frederik will be proclaimed king. Crown Princess Mary will become queen. The kingdom will have a new regent and a new royal couple,” he said in his statement. “We can look forward to all of this in the knowledge that they are ready for the responsibility and the task.”

Brian Kelly ‘excited’ to see Da’Shawn Womack’s expanded role in ReliaQuest Bowl
While bowl games have lost quite a bit of luster in recent years, they still serve a very important purpose.
These games don’t count toward the four-game redshirt limit, meaning young players will have ample opportunity to participate when LSU takes on Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday morning.
One of those players is Da'Shawn Womack, a former five-star recruit and true freshman who told the media he will be starting at the JACK position when LSU sets up in dime packages.
Coach Brian Kelly elaborated on the role he would play.
“Again, another true freshman that will get an opportunity to play quite a bit. ‘Development’ is an interesting word, right? You develop at different times throughout the year,” Kelly said. “It’s time to come out of the oven, right? You keep them in there for so long, then it’s time to play.
“We feel like it’s time for him to play. We’re going to put him in a position where we think he can help us. He’s done a really good job this year of maturing. I think a lot of it was his maturation. That was the first time he was put in front of the media, and that was not by accident. We do things here pretty intentional. We think he’s ready. It will be fun to watch him play.”
Womack has appeared in 11 games as a rotational player this season, making 11 tackles and 1.5 sacks.

It's not often that a team can win twice on the same day, but the Bears pulled it off Sunday. As Chicago polished off the Atlanta Falcons, the Carolina Panthers lost yet again, and the Cardinals upset the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Panthers' loss and Cardinals' win mean that Carolina clinches the worst record in the NFL ... but because the Panthers' 2024 No. 1 draft pick belongs to Chicago, thanks to last offseason's deal to put Bryce Young in Carolina, the Bears are once again at the top of the draft.
Here is the top 10 of the NFL Draft:
1. Chicago Bears (via Carolina Panthers) 2. Washington Commanders 3. New England Patriots 4. Arizona Cardinals 5. New York Giants 6. Los Angeles Chargers 7. Tennessee Titans 8. New York Jets 9. Atlanta Falcons 10. Chicago Bears
Further down the draft, Washington's seventh straight loss puts them, at the moment, in a statistical dead heat with the New England Patriots, according to Tankathon. Both teams, along with the Cardinals, are 4-12, but the Commanders and Patriots have equal strength-of-schedule ratings. Next week's games will break that tie, as Washington plays the Cowboys and New England plays the Jets. Arizona's win has, at the moment, dropped the Cardinals from the No. 2 spot to fourth.
Down the line, the Giants and Titans are both at 5-11, with the Giants holding a slight edge because of strength of schedule. The Chargers are also at five wins, pending the outcome of their game against Denver. The Jets (6-11) are currently in the No. 8 spot, while the Falcons, Bears and Raiders are all in a statistical and strength-of-schedule dead heat at 7-9.
Yahoo Sports' Nate Tice projects that the Bears will select North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye with the No. 1 pick, moving on from Justin Fields. "Maye is the complete package at quarterback," Tice writes. "His ability to throw or run for explosive plays, within and outside the confines of the position, all while avoiding an overwhelming amount of negative plays, are the prerequisites for elite modern QB play."
The Bears can officially start to plan — and Bears fans can start to dream — about what to do with that No. 1 pick.

NEW YORK — A 39-year-old man has died following a shark "encounter" at Maui's Paia Bay, officials said.
The Maui Police Department said it responded to the beach around 11:19 a.m. local time Saturday.
"Upon arrival, Ocean Safety Officers were transporting a male who sustained injuries from a shark encounter via jet ski to shore," officials said in a statement. "Once onshore, life-saving measures were performed by first responder personnel until medic personnel arrived to transport the male to the Maui Memorial Medical Center for further treatment."
The man "later succumbed to his injuries and died," officials said.
His identity is being withheld so his family can notify extended family and friends, according to officials.
No further details were given. An investigation is ongoing.
The Baldwin Beach Park and Lower Pā’ia Park (Baby Beach) were closed Saturday following the shark incident, county officials said.
Shark warning signs were posted for 1 mile to either side of where the incident took place, from Tavares Bay to Baby Beach, the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources said.
"By noon on Sunday, if no further signs of shark activity are detected, signs will be taken down," the department wrote on Facebook.

Trained at Miners Rest by Henry Dwyer, all being well with the five-year-old mare over the next six months, she will jet off for an international campaign to race at arguably the most prestigious racing event in the world, on its opening, and best, racing day on Tuesday June 18.
During the spring, Asfoora won both the group 3 The Heath and the group 2 Schillaci Stakes. She also finished second to New Zealand star Imperatriz in the group 1 Moir Stakes at Moonee Valley, herself running a race record, only to be denied by the Kiwi champ.
Dwyer said picking up an invite to Royal Ascot would allow the owners to cement her season plans, but the final decision of her competing overseas will hinge on how she runs in her autumn campaign at home.
She will start her autumn with the group 2 Rubiton Stakes (1100m), before she attempts to win her first group one in the Oakleigh Plate (1100m) Both are at her preferred metropolitan track at Caulfield.
Should she get to Royal Ascot, Asfoora will attempt to emulate the feats of fellow Australian sprinters Takeover Target (2006), Miss Andretti (2007) and Nature Strip (2022) who have all conquered the famous five furlongs.
Dwyer (pictured) said it was an honour to have a horse receive an invite to compete on the international stage, suggesting it would not be just a hit-and-run mission.
"Hopefully we will get that opportunity to head to England, that will likely be the first race for her over there, but there's actually a number of races we could look at, in Ireland or France that might suit her even more," he said. "There's a chance she could run in three or four races.
"It's not everyday you get a horse that has the quality to be able to get an invitation to compete in these big international races, it's quite an honour. I wasn't aware we might be the first trained in Ballarat to race there."
All being well, Asfoora could also be aimed at the Breeders Cup Turf Sprint in November in California.

Robinson rushed the ball nine times for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers. He added four receptions on four targets for 32 yards.
Robinson returned from a two-game absence caused by a hamstring injury and immediately retook the primary role in Washington's backfield. He accounted for 13 total touches as compared to six for Antonio Gibson and led the team with 76 scrimmage yards. Robinson is likely to maintain the same role in Week 18, though his production could have to come primarily as a pass catcher given the likelihood that the Commanders are playing from behind against the Cowboys.

CASS COUNTY, Ind. — An inmate briefly escaped from the Cass County Detention Center on Sunday.
According to a Cass County Sheriff’s Office Facebook Post, 25-year-old Gerardo Grimaldo hid in a ceiling while some inmate workers were taking trash out of the facility. CCSO officials reported Grimaldo then climbed over a wall and slipped through the door the workers were using to remove trash from the facility.
Per a press release, Logansport Police Officers and CCSO Deputies converged on the area Grimaldo escaped from while corrections facility officials chased him on foot.
CCSO reported Grimaldo removed his jail clothes in the 400 block of North Street in Logansport and was then apprehended without further incident in the 700 block of Market Street.
Dispatchers were notified of Grimaldo’s escape and 12:12 p.m. Officers took him back into custody without incident at 12:21 p.m., per CCSO.
A press release indicates Grimaldo was initially incarcerated for a probation violation related to felony check fraud charge. Before his escape attempt on Sunday, Grimaldo was due to be released from prison on Feb. 22, 2024.
“The Cass County Detention Center is a secure facility,” Cass County Sheriff Ed Schroder said via release. “This incident will trigger scrutiny of all policies and practices as well as an after-action review and discussion to ensure any deficiencies are corrected to prevent another occurrence. The quick capture of the inmate was a result of the cooperative efforts of the Logansport Police Department, Cass County Sheriff’s Office and Cass County Detention Facility Corrections Officers.”
CCSO is still investigating the incident. Those with additional information on Grimaldo’s escape are asked to contact the sheriff’s office at (574) 753-7800.

David Tepper’s tenure with the Carolina Panthers has been rather problematic.
From scandals to poor seasons, frustrations have been high for Panthers fans and organization members. That trend reached a new level during Week 17 of the NFL season.
On the road, the Panthers were shut out in a 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars as the offense tallied just 124 total yards. Sunday’s loss also meant the draft pick Carolina traded to the Chicago Bears will be the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
During the tough performance, an Instagram video appeared to show Tepper splashing his beverage at a fan in the stands.
Story continues below advertisement
In a season where so much has gone wrong for the Panthers, their owner is not helping any causes with his behavior.
The Panthers close out the 2023 season in Week 18 when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney reveals update on Will Shipley's injury status
Clemson running back Will Shipley – and football coach Dabo Swinney – received good news on Sunday when an MRI performed on Shipley’s right knee revealed that surgery will not be required following an injury he suffered late in the Tigers’ Gator Bowl victory against Kentucky on Friday.
Swinney provided an update on Shipley's status Sunday evening.
Shipley was injured after being pushed out of bounds following a 60-yard kickoff return with six minutes remaining in the game. His return set up a 52-yard field goal by Jonathan Weitz four plays later that gave the Tigers a 30-28 lead with 4:20 left.
Clemson went on to win the game 38-35 to cap a 9-4 season that ended with five consecutive victories after a 4-4 start.
“They will do an MRI tomorrow or the next day,” Swinney said following the game. “So we’ll wait and see. Initial reports seem to be encouraging, but you never know until you do the MRI.
“They felt like it was best-case scenario, but we’ll see what the MRI says.”
Turned out, best-case scenario won the day.
Shipley, who remains undecided on his future football plans, finished with 132 all-purpose yards. He two kickoff returns for 94 yards. He also had 11 rushes for 29 yards and two receptions for nine yards.
“That’s Will,” Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik said. “He’ll shock the world when you need him to."
Shipley was Clemson’s second-leading rusher last season behind roommate Phil Mafah with 827 yards and five touchdowns. He has 2,747 yards and 31 touchdowns in his career. Shipley continues to weigh his future options and has said he'll sit down with his family during the break and make a decision on whether to return to Clemson for another season or enter the 2024 NFL Draft.

By the end of this guide, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and inspiration to elevate your gaming experience through the art of organization. So, grab your controllers, roll up your sleeves, and let's dive into the world of game controller organization.
Step 1: Gather Your Game Controllers
Before diving into the organizational process, it’s crucial to gather all your game controllers from their scattered locations. Whether they’re stashed in drawers, tucked away in entertainment centers, or hiding under the couch cushions, conducting a thorough search will ensure that no controller is left behind.
Start by surveying your gaming spaces, including living rooms, bedrooms, or any other areas where gaming setups are present. Check inside storage compartments of gaming consoles, media cabinets, or dedicated gaming accessory organizers. Don’t forget to inspect any secondary gaming stations, such as portable gaming setups or multiplayer gaming areas.
As you collect your game controllers, take note of the types and models you own. This inventory will help you assess the storage needs and plan for the organization of different controller styles, sizes, and compatibility requirements. Whether you have classic wired controllers, sleek wireless models, or specialized controllers for specific gaming platforms, each type should be accounted for in your collection.
Once you’ve gathered all your game controllers, take a moment to inspect them for any signs of wear, damage, or malfunction. Note any controllers that may require maintenance or repairs before being incorporated into your organized setup. This proactive approach will ensure that only fully functional controllers are included in your organized gaming space, promoting a seamless and reliable gaming experience.
Gathering your game controllers is the first step towards creating a cohesive and efficient organization system. By taking stock of your gaming peripherals and assessing their condition, you’re laying the foundation for a well-organized and optimized gaming environment.
Step 2: Clean and Inspect Your Controllers
Once you’ve gathered your game controllers, it’s time to ensure that they are in prime condition for your gaming endeavors. Cleaning and inspecting your controllers not only maintains their aesthetic appeal but also contributes to their longevity and performance.
Begin by carefully examining each controller for any visible dirt, dust, or grime. Pay special attention to the seams, buttons, and crevices where debris may accumulate. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently remove surface dust and dirt from the exterior of the controllers. For stubborn residue or hard-to-reach areas, lightly dampen a microfiber cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution specifically designed for electronic devices. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as these can damage the delicate components of the controllers.
As you clean the exterior of the controllers, take a moment to inspect the buttons, analog sticks, and triggers for any signs of stickiness, unresponsiveness, or physical damage. Test each controller to ensure that all buttons and inputs function as intended, addressing any issues that may impede their performance during gameplay.
For wireless controllers, replace or recharge the batteries to ensure uninterrupted gaming sessions. If your controllers feature removable batteries, consider investing in rechargeable battery packs to minimize environmental impact and reduce long-term costs associated with disposable batteries.
Additionally, if your controllers utilize charging cables, inspect the cables for fraying or damage. Replace any compromised cables to maintain a reliable power supply for your wireless controllers.
By cleaning and inspecting your controllers, you’re not only preserving their appearance but also optimizing their functionality. A well-maintained controller is a crucial component of a seamless gaming experience, and this step sets the stage for an organized and reliable gaming setup.
Step 3: Choose a Storage Solution
With your game controllers cleaned and inspected, the next step is to select an appropriate storage solution that meets both your organizational needs and aesthetic preferences. The right storage solution not only keeps your controllers easily accessible but also adds a touch of visual appeal to your gaming space.
When considering a storage solution for your game controllers, take into account the size and quantity of controllers in your collection. For smaller collections, a compact storage option such as a dedicated controller stand or wall-mounted organizer may be suitable. These solutions not only showcase your controllers but also free up valuable surface space, making them ideal for gaming setups with limited room.
For larger collections or multi-platform gaming enthusiasts, a storage cabinet, drawer organizer, or storage ottoman with compartments can provide ample space to neatly stow away controllers while keeping them within reach. Look for storage solutions with adjustable dividers or customizable compartments to accommodate controllers of varying sizes and shapes.
Consider the visual impact of the storage solution as well. Opt for a design that complements your gaming area’s aesthetic, whether it’s a sleek, modern look or a retro-inspired gaming nook. Additionally, transparent or open-front storage options can showcase your controllers while adding a decorative element to your gaming space.
If space permits, incorporating a charging station or docking system into your storage solution can streamline the process of keeping wireless controllers powered and ready for action. These integrated charging solutions not only reduce clutter but also ensure that your controllers are conveniently charged and organized at all times.
Ultimately, the chosen storage solution should not only organize your game controllers but also enhance the overall visual appeal of your gaming area. By carefully selecting a storage solution that aligns with your needs and preferences, you’ll create a well-organized and visually striking home for your valuable game controllers.
Step 4: Label Your Controllers
Labeling your game controllers is a simple yet effective way to streamline your gaming experience and maintain an organized gaming setup. By assigning clear and distinct labels to each controller, you can easily identify, access, and return them to their designated storage locations, minimizing confusion and optimizing efficiency.
Begin by selecting a labeling method that aligns with your personal preferences and the design of your gaming space. For a sleek and minimalist approach, consider utilizing discreet adhesive labels or removable tags that can be affixed to the controllers without detracting from their appearance. Alternatively, for a more personalized touch, explore creative labeling options such as custom engraved tags, colorful keychain identifiers, or themed stickers that reflect your gaming style.
When labeling your controllers, include pertinent details such as the controller type (e.g., wireless, wired), compatible gaming platforms (e.g., PlayStation, Xbox), and any unique features or modifications. This information not only aids in quick identification but also ensures that each controller is returned to its appropriate storage location, reducing the likelihood of misplaced or mismatched controllers.
For multi-platform gamers or households with multiple gaming enthusiasts, consider color-coding or using distinct symbols to differentiate controllers belonging to different individuals or gaming systems. This approach simplifies the process of identifying and retrieving specific controllers, particularly in shared gaming spaces where multiple controllers are stored together.
Additionally, if you have specialized or custom controllers tailored for specific gaming genres or preferences, labeling them accordingly can further enhance the organization and accessibility of your gaming arsenal. Whether it’s a dedicated fighting game controller, a racing wheel, or a customized modded controller, clear labels help you quickly locate the perfect controller for your gaming session.
By labeling your game controllers, you’re not only optimizing the organization of your gaming space but also fostering a seamless and hassle-free gaming experience. This simple yet impactful step ensures that your controllers are readily identifiable and effortlessly integrated into your organized gaming setup.
Step 5: Establish a Storage Location
Once you’ve gathered, cleaned, selected a storage solution, and labeled your game controllers, it’s time to establish a dedicated storage location that not only safeguards your controllers but also integrates seamlessly into your gaming environment.
When determining the ideal storage location for your game controllers, prioritize accessibility and protection. Choose a spot that allows for easy retrieval of controllers while safeguarding them from potential damage, dust, or accidental spills. Common storage locations include entertainment centers, gaming desks, dedicated shelving units, or wall-mounted display areas.
Consider the frequency of use and the visual impact of the storage location. For frequently accessed controllers, opt for a location that offers convenient reach without disrupting the flow of your gaming sessions. If you prefer a visually prominent display, showcase your controllers in an open-front storage solution or a dedicated gaming accessory display stand, adding a decorative element to your gaming space.
For controllers that see less frequent use or are part of a larger collection, consider allocating a designated drawer, storage bin, or compartment within your chosen storage solution. This approach keeps controllers neatly organized and protected while minimizing visual clutter in your gaming area.
If space is at a premium, explore creative storage solutions such as under-desk mounts, over-the-door organizers, or modular storage systems that maximize vertical space. These innovative storage options offer practical and space-efficient ways to store and access your game controllers without encroaching on your gaming area.
As a final touch, consider incorporating cable management solutions or discreet cable routing to maintain a tidy and streamlined appearance. Tangle-free cables and organized charging setups contribute to a visually pleasing and well-maintained gaming environment.
By establishing a dedicated storage location for your game controllers, you’re not only safeguarding your valuable gaming peripherals but also integrating them seamlessly into your gaming space. This final step completes the journey of organizing your game controllers, resulting in a functional, visually appealing, and well-optimized gaming setup.

We'll have at least one more year of hearing about Mike Tomlin's streak.
For the 17th straight season, Tomlin will not have a losing record. The Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks 30-23 to move to 9-7, and more importantly than clinching another non-losing season for Tomlin, it kept Pittsburgh alive in the AFC wild-card race. Pittsburgh will need to win and get some help next week to get a wild-card spot, but they'll still be in the race going into the season finale. For the Seahawks, it drops them back to .500 and is a blow in their playoff hunt.
A two-game winning streak for the Steelers coincided with finally turning to Mason Rudolph at quarterback. The Steelers stuck with Rudolph despite Kenny Pickett being healthy enough to be listed as questionable on the injury report, which usually means a player will suit up. Pickett was inactive, Rudolph started and the Steelers continued to keep their season alive with a big win.
The Steelers were in a lot of trouble when they had a three-game losing streak in December. But a Tomlin-coached team wasn't going to fade away that easily.
Steelers pound Seattle in run game
The Steelers, who looked like they were ready to call it a season a couple weeks ago in a listless loss to the Indianapolis Colts, looked like a much different team in the first half Sunday. They rushed for 145 yards in the first half. The Fox broadcast said that was the most for Pittsburgh since a 2006 game against Kansas City. Their leading rushers that day were Willie Parker and Najeh Davenport.
Jaylen Warren got the scoring started for the Steelers with an 18-yard touchdown run. The Steelers led for most of the game after that. Najee Harris scored a couple of touchdowns, and the Steelers led 24-17 into the third quarter.
The game was still in the balance when the defense made a huge play. With seven minutes left and the Steelers leading 27-20, Geno Smith was strip-sacked by Nick Herbig. Pittsburgh recovered at the 16-yard line. The Steelers only got a field goal out of the ensuing drive, but a 10-point lead was significant at that point in the game.
Seahawks take a step back
For the Seahawks, a loss didn't eliminate them from the playoff race but it didn't help their chances. They moved back to 8-8 with the loss, which is fitting in what has been a mediocre season.
The defense let down in a big spot, against an offense that has struggled most of the season. The offense wasn't bad but there weren't a lot of game-changing explosive plays. The Steelers also crushed Seattle in time of possession.
The Seahawks tried to rally late. A drive deep into Steelers territory didn't result in a touchdown, and Seattle settled for a field goal just before the two-minute warning. They tried an onside kick trailing 27-20 but Pittsburgh recovered. A reception to Pickens for a first down and a Harris run for another first down ended the game.
The Steelers still need a lot to go right to make the playoffs. But they're alive, and it looked like there was no chance of that happening a couple weeks ago.

Aaron Gordon believes he'll be able to return to the court on Monday to play against the Charlotte Hornets, he told The Denver Post on Sunday.
After missing the Denver Nuggets' last two games, the forward returned to practice for the first time since being attacked by a family dog on Christmas. The lacerations to his face and shooting hand required 21 stitches, and at the time of the incident, the Nuggets gave no timetable for Gordon's return.
Their statement only said that Gordon was "in good condition" after the attack. Gordon spoke to reporters for the first time following the situation.
"I love dogs," Gordon told The Post. "I grew up with dogs my whole life. But because we're on the road so much, my dad's taking care of him, so I can't really train him how I need him to be. ... But I feel good. Everything is fine."
In 28 games, Gordon is averaging 13.6 points and 6.9 rebounds. He missed four games due to a right heel injury earlier in the season. He recorded a double-double — 16 points and 10 rebounds in Denver's win over the Golden State Warriors on Monday.
The Nuggets are 23-11, and second in the West behind the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Howell completed 17 of 28 passes for 169 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers.
After the Commanders announced that Howell would be benched early in the week, he was forced into the starting role with Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) sidelined. He struggled in a tough matchup, averaging only 6.0 yards per attempt while turning the ball over twice. Howell did have positive moments, as he completed three passes of at least 20 yards and also connected with Terry McLaurin for a three-yard touchdown late in the second quarter. It's unclear whether Howell will get the chance to start in Week 18 against the Cowboys, but he has now failed to throw for multiple touchdowns in six straight games.

Wilson caught two passes for 27 yards and one touchdown on four targets in Sunday's 56-19 loss to the Ravens.
It's disappointing that Wilson couldn't draw more targets on a day where Jaylen Waddle (ankle) sat out, especially since the Ravens were without two of their leading corners (Brandon Stephens and Kyle Hamilton). The touchdown salvaged the game somewhat for Wilson, but whenever Waddle is healthy again Wilson should be reduced mostly to a blocker again. With that said, it's not clear whether Waddle might return against Buffalo in Week 18.

DENVER (KDVR) — A Colorado woman accused of killing two of her children was arrested in the United Kingdom on Saturday, according to police.
Kimberlee Singler, 35, is suspected of killing her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son and attempting to kill her 11-year-old daughter in Colorado Springs.
On Dec. 19, police said they responded to a 911 call reporting a burglary at an apartment complex at around 12:30 a.m. and found the the bodies of the two deceased children.
Officers also located Singler and her 11-year-old daughter at the scene. They were both injured and taken to hospitals for treatment, according to Colorado Springs Police Department spokesperson Ira Cronin.
Singler’s injuries were minor. The 11-year-old girl was hospitalized for a few days and then released. She is recovering well physically in Colorado Springs. Cronin said he could not release details about how the children or Singler were injured.
Police said the initial report of a burglary was unfounded.
Singler was initially cooperative with police investigating the homicides and alleged burglary. She went missing after the probe, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
“In the initial stages of the investigation, we were treating her as a victim of a burglary,” Cronin told the Associated Press.
On Dec. 26, investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Singler on multiple charges, including multiple counts of first degree murder, child abuse and assault.
The children’s deaths came amid an ongoing legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, according to court filings. Court hearings had been scheduled for next month.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Those inside the confines of One Patriot Place reportedly are not thrilled with what Trent Brown has been bringing to the group.
It’s fair to assume those feelings led to Brown being benched for New England’s game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Boston Sports Journal’s Mike Giardi on Sunday offered some insight into the source of tension.
Giardi wrote Brown has been “testing the limits of the coaching staff’s resolve” as well as “thumbing his nose at what’s expected and required.” Giardi also reported Brown’s tardiness is a “constant issue” and said the veteran offensive lineman is viewed by others inside the locker room as an “independent contractor” who pays attention to himself and his finances.

“Internally, I’m told, there was belief Brown could have returned before and did not,” Giardi wrote, referencing how Brown suffered ankle and knee injuries in Week 8 and missed the next two games before a Week 11 bye.
“The belief was that he was protecting himself and his future earnings in a season without the promise of a postseason,” Giardi wrote. “With the number of players on the roster who were playing through injuries — including those on the offensive line — needless to say, that hasn’t gone over very well.”
Unfortunately for Brown, his healthy scratch Sunday meant he won’t earn any of his $6.5 million in incentives. While speaking to Sophie Weller of A to Z Sports ahead of the Week 17 game, Brown made eye-popping comments regarding his contract and likelihood he would remain in New England after this season.
It feels like both parties will go their separate ways after the Patriots’ disappointing campaign comes to a close next week.

LSU Wire Roundtable: Predictions for ReliaQuest Bowl against Wisconsin
LSU will look to cap off back-to-back 10-win seasons on Monday as it takes on Wisconsin in a New Year’s Day ReliaQuest Bowl matchup.
While the Tigers will be without starting quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels, who opted out, it will have potential first-round receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr., as well as defensive tackle Mekhi Wingo, who makes his return from injury following surgery in October.
The Badgers sit at 7-5 in what has been a somewhat disappointing Year 1 for Luke Fickell, and they’re dealing with some opt-outs of their own, headlined by star running back Braelon Allen.
Here’s how our staff thinks that bowl matchup will play out as quarterback Garrett Nussmeier prepares for his first career start.
Tyler Nettuno, Site Editor
We haven’t really seen Nussmeier run the offense over the course of an entire game, but it feels safe to assume the unit will remain productive with all of its weapons in place. While there’s still no reason to trust this Tigers’ defense, if this Badgers team is able to move the ball without its best offensive playmaker in Allen, it would be truly surprising. I don’t expect quite the same beatdown we saw against Purdue last year, but it could be close.
Prediction: LSU 49, Wisconsin 21
Will Rosenblatt, Staff Writer
Garrett Nussmeier gets his first real chance to prove something in the ReliaQuest Bowl. With Jayden Daniels out, this is Nuss’s offense. He’ll get some help with Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. remaining in the lineup. As for the defense, LSU’s still looking for some young guys to make a jump heading into 2024. I think Nussmeier hits enough big plays and the defense hangs in there and LSU wins.
Prediction: LSU 33, Wisconsin 24
Kyle Richardson, Staff Writer
I believe that LSU will do to Wisconsin what Georgia did to Florida State in the Orange Bowl. It will be the same type of beatdown that the Tigers gave Purdue last year. Garrett Nussmeier will have a great day and a lot of young players will play well.
Prediction: LSU 63, Wisconsin 7
Composite Prediction
Prediction: LSU 48, Wisconsin 17

Introduction
Setting up a USB game controller to function as keyboard keys can greatly enhance the gaming experience, offering a more intuitive and immersive way to interact with games that do not natively support game controllers. This process involves mapping the controller's buttons and joysticks to specific keyboard keys, effectively tricking the computer into thinking that the controller is a keyboard. By doing so, gamers can enjoy the convenience and familiarity of using a game controller to play their favorite PC games.
In the following guide, we will walk through the step-by-step process of setting up a USB game controller to function as keyboard keys. This involves downloading the necessary software, connecting the controller to the computer, mapping the controller buttons to keyboard keys, and testing the controller to ensure it functions as intended. Whether you're a casual gamer looking to enhance your gaming experience or a dedicated enthusiast seeking to optimize your gameplay, this guide will provide you with the essential knowledge and instructions to seamlessly configure your USB game controller to act as keyboard keys.
The ability to customize and configure a USB game controller in this manner not only opens up new possibilities for gaming but also showcases the versatility and adaptability of modern technology. With the increasing popularity of PC gaming and the wide variety of games available across different platforms, being able to use a game controller as keyboard keys can significantly broaden the accessibility and enjoyment of gaming experiences.
By following the steps outlined in this guide, users can unlock the potential of their USB game controllers and tailor their gaming setups to suit their preferences and play styles. This process empowers gamers to take control of their gaming experiences, providing a personalized and seamless way to interact with their favorite games. Now, let's delve into the step-by-step process of setting up a USB game controller to function as keyboard keys, unlocking a new level of gaming convenience and enjoyment.
Step 1: Downloading the Necessary Software
Before configuring a USB game controller to function as keyboard keys, it is essential to download the required software that facilitates this customization. One popular software solution for this purpose is JoyToKey, a versatile program that enables users to map controller inputs to keyboard and mouse inputs. To begin, navigate to the official JoyToKey website and locate the download section. Ensure that you are downloading the latest version of the software to access the most up-to-date features and improvements.
Once you have downloaded the JoyToKey software, proceed to install it on your computer by following the on-screen instructions provided by the installation wizard. After completing the installation process, launch the JoyToKey application to initiate the setup and configuration of your USB game controller.
It is important to note that while JoyToKey is a popular choice for this purpose, there are other similar software options available that offer comparable functionality. Users may explore alternative programs based on their specific preferences and requirements. However, for the purpose of this guide, we will focus on utilizing JoyToKey as the primary software for setting up a USB game controller to function as keyboard keys.
By downloading and installing the necessary software, users can lay the foundation for configuring their USB game controller to emulate keyboard inputs. This initial step is crucial for establishing the framework through which the controller inputs will be mapped to specific keyboard keys, ultimately enabling a seamless and intuitive gaming experience. With the software in place, users can proceed to the next steps of connecting the USB game controller and configuring its inputs to function as keyboard keys.
Step 2: Connecting the USB Game Controller
After installing the necessary software, the next step in setting up a USB game controller to function as keyboard keys involves connecting the controller to the computer. Begin by locating an available USB port on your computer and plugging in the USB game controller. Once connected, the computer should detect the controller and begin installing any required drivers. It is important to ensure that the controller is recognized and functioning properly before proceeding with the setup process.
Depending on the specific model and type of USB game controller, the computer may prompt you to install additional drivers or software to enable full functionality. If prompted, follow the on-screen instructions to install any required drivers or software provided by the controller manufacturer. This step is crucial for ensuring that the computer recognizes the controller and allows for seamless communication between the controller and the JoyToKey software.
Upon successful connection and driver installation, verify that the USB game controller is responsive and functional. Test the buttons, triggers, joysticks, and other inputs to confirm that they are recognized by the computer and are operating as expected. This validation step is essential for ensuring that the controller is ready to be configured to function as keyboard keys using the JoyToKey software.
Once the USB game controller is connected and confirmed to be functioning properly, you are ready to proceed to the next step of setting up the controller inputs to emulate specific keyboard keys. This process will involve mapping the controller buttons and joysticks to corresponding keyboard inputs, effectively customizing the controller to act as a keyboard for gaming purposes. With the controller connected and verified, you are one step closer to enjoying a seamless and personalized gaming experience with your USB game controller.
Step 3: Setting up the Controller to Keyboard Keys
With the USB game controller connected and verified, the next crucial step is to configure the controller inputs to emulate specific keyboard keys using the JoyToKey software. Launch the JoyToKey application on your computer to begin the setup process. Upon opening the software, you will be presented with the interface, which allows for the mapping of controller inputs to keyboard and mouse inputs.
Start by identifying the buttons, triggers, and joysticks on your USB game controller that you wish to map to keyboard keys. Within the JoyToKey interface, you can assign each controller input to a corresponding keyboard key. This customization enables you to tailor the controller inputs to align with the controls of your favorite games, providing a seamless and intuitive gaming experience.
To map a controller input to a keyboard key, simply select the button or joystick on the JoyToKey interface and assign the desired keyboard key to it. For example, if you want the “A” button on the controller to function as the “Space” key on the keyboard, you can easily map the two inputs within the JoyToKey software. Repeat this process for each controller input that you wish to customize, ensuring that the controller aligns with the specific controls of the games you intend to play.
Additionally, JoyToKey allows for advanced configurations, such as setting up multiple profiles for different games or applications. This feature enables users to create custom controller mappings tailored to each game’s unique control scheme, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the USB game controller across various gaming experiences.
Once you have mapped the controller inputs to the corresponding keyboard keys within the JoyToKey software, take the time to review and fine-tune the configurations to ensure that they align with your gaming preferences. This step allows for personalized adjustments that cater to individual play styles and comfort, ultimately enhancing the overall gaming experience.
By setting up the USB game controller to function as keyboard keys, users can seamlessly integrate the controller into their gaming setups, unlocking a new level of convenience and customization. With the controller inputs configured to emulate specific keyboard keys, gamers can enjoy a familiar and intuitive way to interact with their favorite PC games, all while leveraging the full potential of their USB game controller.
Step 4: Testing the Controller
After configuring the USB game controller to function as keyboard keys using the JoyToKey software, it is essential to thoroughly test the controller to ensure that the mappings are accurate and responsive. Testing the controller allows users to validate the customized configurations and make any necessary adjustments before diving into gameplay.
Begin the testing process by launching a game or application that supports keyboard inputs. With the USB game controller connected to the computer and the JoyToKey software running, navigate to the game or application in which you intend to use the controller. Once in the game or application, interact with the controller to verify that the mapped inputs correspond to the expected keyboard keys.
Test each button, trigger, and joystick on the controller to confirm that they trigger the corresponding keyboard inputs within the game or application. Pay close attention to the responsiveness and accuracy of the controller inputs, ensuring that they align seamlessly with the intended keyboard controls. This comprehensive testing process is crucial for identifying any discrepancies and fine-tuning the controller configurations as needed.
During testing, take note of any discrepancies or unexpected behavior in the controller inputs. If certain mappings do not align as intended or if any buttons exhibit inconsistent behavior, return to the JoyToKey software to make the necessary adjustments. The software allows for real-time modifications to the controller mappings, enabling users to refine the configurations based on the observed testing results.
Additionally, consider testing the controller across multiple games or applications to assess its compatibility and performance in various scenarios. This broader testing approach provides valuable insights into the versatility and adaptability of the USB game controller when configured to function as keyboard keys.
By thoroughly testing the controller after configuring it to emulate keyboard inputs, users can ensure a seamless and reliable gaming experience. The testing phase serves as a crucial validation step, allowing users to fine-tune the controller mappings and address any discrepancies before fully immersing themselves in gameplay. With the controller successfully tested and validated, users can confidently enjoy their favorite PC games using the customized USB game controller setup.
Conclusion
Setting up a USB game controller to function as keyboard keys offers a versatile and personalized approach to gaming on the PC. By following the step-by-step process outlined in this guide, users can seamlessly configure their USB game controllers to emulate specific keyboard inputs, unlocking a new level of convenience and customization in their gaming experiences.

Uganda’s President Museveni: Parliament is Not a Money-Making Venture
In a noteworthy address to the citizens of Uganda, President Kaguta Museveni called out a disturbing trend: the increasing number of individuals seeking parliamentary seats primarily for financial gain. He stressed that the parliament, a platform for service and governance, should not be seen as a gold mine for individual wealth accumulation.
Parliament: A Platform for Service, Not a Cash Cow
Museveni’s unambiguous message aimed to redefine the perception of the parliament. The president made it crystal clear that the legislative body is not an avenue to amass personal wealth, but rather a platform to serve the nation and its people. His words serve as a stern reminder of the true nature and purpose of a parliamentarian’s role.
The Desire to Shift Focus
His statement underscores a broader issue plaguing many political environments globally: the perception of political positions as lucrative opportunities for personal enrichment rather than platforms for public service. Museveni’s comments indicate a desire to shift this focus. By emphasizing the responsibilities of legislative work over personal gain, he hopes to restore the dignity and purpose of the parliamentary role.
Business Ventures: The Appropriate Avenue for Wealth
Those looking for a path to wealth, Museveni suggested, would do better to turn their eyes towards business rather than politics. In doing so, he delineated the roles of business and governance, indicating that the latter is not a satisfactory substitute for the former when it comes to personal financial success. The president’s comments serve as a potent reminder of the difference between the pursuit of wealth and the pursuit of service.

LANDOVER, Md. — It was not the usual postgame protocol after 49ers players left the field following their 27-10 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday at FedExField.
Usually, the entire group gathers in the locker room for coach Kyle Shanahan’s postgame speech and a breakdown of the game -- but not this time.
Half of the team huddled together surrounding the small television Shanahan’s changing room. Another group gathered in a hallway around another screen in the coaches area as the seconds ticked down on a very close game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Stay in the game with the latest updates on your beloved Bay Area and California sports teams! Sign up here for our All Access Daily newsletter.
Then, as the game clock wound down to 0:00 with the Cardinals emerging as the victors, elated cheering and yelling could be heard through the doors of the 49ers' locker room and into the halls of FedExField. The 49ers' NFC West foe had just helped them lock in the NFC' No. 1 playoff seed, giving them a first round bye and home-field advantage.
“It was a lot of fun,” Nick Bosa said after the game. “We came in here, and there’s a little TV in here. Everyone was on top of each other trying to watch. The Cardinals helped us out a lot this year.”
Charvarius Ward, who had a momentum-changing interception in San Francisco's win, said it was not without a little bit of nerves between him and his teammates that they watched the final seconds of the Cardinals' win play out.
San Francisco 49ers
“Everyone was bunched up trying to watch the game,” Ward said. “It was 35-31, with 35 seconds left and we were just praying the Cardinals didn’t blow it. Once they threw the Hail Mary and they picked it off, we were ecstatic. It was a hell of a feeling.”
George Kittle, who notched his third career 1,000-yard season in the win, shared that getting an extra week of rest isn’t the only thing he is thankful for.
“It was a cool moment, and I’m glad Kyle let us watch,” Kittle said. “We waited to break it down until after that. Shout-out to the Cardinals, and I’m really happy for their coach [Jonathan Gannon]. That’s a pretty fun one to leave [the Eagles] and come back and get a dub and to put up 35.”
One player who might need a little more rest after the win in over the Commanders is Christian McCaffrey, who sat out much of the second half after sustaining a calf injury.
“That means the world, so shout out to the Cardinals,” McCaffrey said. “That was huge. We all need it, I need it. Just take a breath and get everything back to normal. Came back in here and [was] like, 'It’s tied up? What the heck?' "
The 49ers have been on the short end of the NFL’s scheduling in 2023, playing four teams after they had a bye week and two Thursday night games, all while racking up a lot of air miles playing AFC North and NFC East this season.
Dre Greenlaw was relieved and overjoyed knowing that in the playoffs, the 49ers finally will have a schedule -- and home-field -- advantage.
“That was huge,” Greenlaw said. “For Arizona to get the win, for us to get the win, it was big. A lot more rest time.”
The 49ers head back to the Bay Area to prepare for their final regular-season contest as they welcome the Los Angeles Rams to Levi's Stadium in Week 18.

The seven most luxurious homes for sale in Western Australia
With sweeping ocean and river views, home theatres, swimming pools and wine cellars, these are seven of the best and most luxurious properties listed for sale in Western Australia.
From $3 million to $12 million, these properties are also some of the most expensive.
With unrestricted ocean views through iconic Norfolk Pines to Rottnest Island, this home is described as “without a doubt one of the most extraordinary properties ever available in Cottesloe”.
On the ground floor, there is a 10-car garage, and a 1000-bottle temperature controlled wine room that flanks the home theatre.
There is the option of a staircase, or a lift which goes up to the next level, with an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living room.
Outside there is a heated pool and spa, with a barbecue area, a double-sided fireplace and a pizza oven.
The advert states the owner could “entertain for two, 10 or 100 in comfort.”
This apartment will be part of a new complex that will join the redevelopment of the historical Cottesloe Foreshore.
First developed in the early 1900s, the redevelopment will see the beginning of a new era in Cottesloe’s community, reimagined with improved promenades, recreational areas, beach access points, dining and retail.
Once built, this first-floor apartment will provide direct views over the popular beach, and will include three bedrooms and three car bays.
Resting within the exclusive golf course and ocean view promenade of Broome Street, this family residence offers over 690 square metres of indoor and outdoor living space.
The home looks out over the native reserve, which borders Seaview Golf course, through to the ocean and has been meticulously maintained and renovated over the years.
It includes large bedrooms, numerous outdoor living spaces, renovated bathrooms and kitchen, and enough parking for five to six cars.
Nestled along the scenic banks of Freshwater Bay, this tri-level Mediterranean-inspired residence sits on an expansive 1267-square-metre riverfront block, with panoramic views of the Swan River and beyond.
The first floor includes a spacious lounge room with a recessed ceiling and a fireplace, and the open-plan living and dining areas provide a sense of openness.
The main bedroom suite is separate from the secondary bedrooms on the ground floor and boasts balcony access, a large walk-in robe, and a private ensuite with a bath, double vanity, and dual showers.
It even includes an undercroft with a private boathouse, designed for kayak and jet ski storage, a verdant lawn area and a gate opening to a private riverfront beach.
Situated close to popular snorkeling spot Mettams Pool, this custom-built four bedroom and bathroom tri-level residence is set on a commanding, yet low-maintenance 506-square-metre block.
A vast cellar with built-in shelving and a fully tiled powder room connects the expansive sunken theatre room to a sizeable four-car garage.
Each of the four bedrooms boasts its own connecting ensuite bathroom and the master bedroom includes an enormous walk-in dresser with built-in wardrobes, a feature wall and an airy open ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bathtub.
Outside there is an infinity pool and outdoor shower.
The most expensive home on the list, this $12 million property is nestled in an enviable location overlooking Trigg Point with views from Hillarys to Rottnest.
At basement level, a six-car lock-up garage is complemented by two rainwater tanks, a pool plant, storeroom, a spacious cellar, a huge gymnasium and access to a lift spanning all three floors.
On the first floor there a large living room that is close to the outdoor spa, as well as a resort-style lap pool. Also found outside are a separate sauna and steam room off the rear terrace.
The top floor has an enormous open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with access out to an alfresco “vergola” cabana entertaining deck with a built-in barbecue.
This home is situated along one of WA’s main tourism routes along Caves Road in Marybrook, right in the middle of Busselton and Dunsborough.
It is the only property outside the Perth metropolitan area to make the list.
Set on 2031 square metres of prime beachfront land this luxury estate enjoys breathtaking views of Geographe Bay across lush, manicured gardens.
The ground floor has three bedrooms; one perfect as a guest bedroom which includes an ensuite bathroom and robe with access to a beachside patio.
There is an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with access to the outdoor entertaining area and spa.
The first floor is essentially the private primary suite, with a separate lounge and bedroom with a large walk-in-robe, ensuite bathroom with spa bath, and sliding doors onto the large balcony.

It's not often that a team can win twice on the same day, but the Bears pulled it off Sunday. As Chicago polished off the Atlanta Falcons, the Carolina Panthers lost yet again, and the Cardinals upset the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Panthers' loss and Cardinals' win mean that Carolina clinches the worst record in the NFL ... but because the Panthers' 2024 No. 1 draft pick belongs to Chicago, thanks to last offseason's deal to put Bryce Young in Carolina, the Bears are once again at the top of the draft.
Here is the top 10 of the NFL Draft:
1. Chicago Bears (via Carolina Panthers) 2. Washington Commanders 3. New England Patriots 4. Arizona Cardinals 5. New York Giants 6. Los Angeles Chargers 7. Tennessee Titans 8. New York Jets 9. Atlanta Falcons 10. Chicago Bears
Further down the draft, Washington's seventh straight loss puts them, at the moment, in a statistical dead heat with the New England Patriots, according to Tankathon. Both teams, along with the Cardinals, are 4-12, but the Commanders and Patriots have equal strength-of-schedule ratings. Next week's games will break that tie, as Washington plays the Cowboys and New England plays the Jets. Arizona's win has, at the moment, dropped the Cardinals from the No. 2 spot to fourth.
Down the line, the Giants and Titans are both at 5-11, with the Giants holding a slight edge because of strength of schedule. The Chargers are also at five wins, pending the outcome of their game against Denver. The Jets (6-11) are currently in the No. 8 spot, while the Falcons, Bears and Raiders are all in a statistical and strength-of-schedule dead heat at 7-9.
Yahoo Sports' Nate Tice projects that the Bears will select North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye with the No. 1 pick, moving on from Justin Fields. "Maye is the complete package at quarterback," Tice writes. "His ability to throw or run for explosive plays, within and outside the confines of the position, all while avoiding an overwhelming amount of negative plays, are the prerequisites for elite modern QB play."
The Bears can officially start to plan — and Bears fans can start to dream — about what to do with that No. 1 pick.

Panthers owner David Tepper appeared to throw a drink toward a group of Jaguars fans from his luxury box during Jacksonville's 26-0 win over Carolina on Sunday.
Video of the incident from an adjacent box was posted on social media. Tepper is seen tossing the contents of his cup out the window of his box, then slamming the cup down on a bar before walking out of view of the camera. A fan in Jaguars gear then stands up from his seat and climbs up to look into the window of the box. The video cuts off from there.
Not great: #Panthers owner David Tepper appears to have spilled his drink on a #Jaguars fan during today's frustrating 26-0 loss.
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) December 31, 2023
(📽️ @Kahuna_Med)pic.twitter.com/g9rNiBogsThttps://t.co/g9rNiBogsT
The video did not include audio. WCNC's Nick Carboni reports that Jaguars security inquired about the video. Sunday's game took placed at Jacksonville's EverBank Stadium.
The Panthers didn't provide an immediate response to media requests for a statement after the game. The NFL acknowledged the existence of the video in a statement from spokesperson Tim Schlittner, but didn't initially provide any other response in a statement Sunday afternoon.
"We are aware of the video and have no further comment at this time," the statement reads.
Tepper, 66, has owned the Panthers since 2018. He purchased the team from founding owner Jerry Richardson, who sold the Panthers after a report revealed allegations of sexual and racial harassment during Richardson's tenure as team owner.
The Panthers have failed to make the postseason or produce a winning record during Tepper's five-plus tenure as owner. Sunday's loss dropped the Panthers to an NFL-worst 2-14. But they won't have the No. 1 pick in the draft. They traded their first-round pick last season to the Chicago Bears to acquire the pick to select quarterback Bryce Young, who has struggled during his rookie season.

Bill Belichick and Sean McDermott have shared several postgame embraces in recent years after battles between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills.
After Sunday’s 27-21 win for the Bills over the Patriots, the two coaches had a rather extended hug and conversation on the field in western New York.
McDermott is 6-8 in 14 regular season matchups against Belichick since taking over with the Bills. With spiraling speculation about Belichick’s future, the Buffalo head coach reiterated his respect for a division rival.
Story continues below advertisement
“I have a ton of respect for Coach in that regard,” McDermott said after the game, per team-provided video. “His guys fought today. It was a tough game. We knew it was going to be a tough game. It was a cordial, professional handshake and exchange of words and respect.”
Belichick enters a potentially consequential season finale in Week 18 for the Patriots against the New York Jets.

Hill secured six of 12 targets for 76 yards and rushed once for no gain in the Dolphins' 56-19 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Hill led the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets across the board in the heavily lopsided loss, but he wasn't able to come close to maximizing the extra opportunity he was projected to see with Jaylen Waddle (ankle) sidelined. As the final score implies, game script was nowhere near normal for Miami, so the modest production, by Hill standards, can be taken in that context. Hill figures to be even more involved whether or not Waddle is available for the Week 18 home showdown against the Bills that will decide the AFC East.

Introduction
Are you a passionate gamer who enjoys the thrill of playing on a PlayStation 3 (PS3) console? If so, you may have encountered a perplexing issue when attempting to use your PS3 controller as a game controller for your PC. This problem arises when your PS3 controller is misidentified as a different device category, such as a mouse or keyboard, leading to functionality issues during gameplay. However, fear not, as there is a simple solution to rectify this predicament and restore your PS3 controller to its rightful category as a game controller for your PC.
Understanding the root cause of this misidentification is crucial in comprehending the subsequent steps to resolve it. By delving into the intricacies of the PS3 controller category and the associated technical nuances, you can gain valuable insights into the underlying issues. This knowledge will empower you to navigate the necessary adjustments with confidence and precision, ultimately enabling you to seamlessly reconnect with your gaming pursuits.
In the following sections, we will explore the fundamental aspects of the PS3 controller category, shedding light on its significance in the context of gaming and PC connectivity. Subsequently, we will embark on a step-by-step journey to reset the PS3 controller category back to its designated role as a game controller for your PC, thereby reinstating the optimal gaming experience you deserve. Let's embark on this enlightening quest to reclaim the true identity of your PS3 controller and unleash its full potential in the gaming realm.
Understanding the PS3 Controller Category
Before delving into the process of reassigning the PS3 controller category, it’s essential to grasp the intricacies of how the controller is recognized by various devices. The PS3 controller, renowned for its ergonomic design and intuitive functionality, is primarily intended for use with the PlayStation 3 console. However, with the advent of technology and the growing trend of PC gaming, many enthusiasts seek to utilize their PS3 controllers as game controllers for their PCs.
When connecting the PS3 controller to a PC, it may be erroneously categorized as a different input device, such as a mouse or keyboard, due to driver recognition issues. This misidentification can lead to a myriad of complications, including unresponsive buttons, erratic cursor movements, or a complete lack of functionality within games. The root cause of this issue lies in the device drivers’ inability to accurately identify and assign the PS3 controller to its rightful category as a game controller.
Furthermore, the PS3 controller utilizes a proprietary communication protocol that differs from standard USB controllers, further complicating its recognition by PCs. This protocol, coupled with the unique button layout and motion-sensing capabilities of the PS3 controller, necessitates a specific driver configuration to ensure seamless integration with PC gaming platforms.
Understanding the nuances of the PS3 controller category and its compatibility with PCs is pivotal in troubleshooting and resolving any misidentification issues. By gaining insights into the technical aspects of device recognition and driver compatibility, you can effectively navigate the subsequent steps to realign the PS3 controller with its intended role as a game controller for your PC.
How to Set PS3 Controller Category Back to Game Controller, PC Unspecified
Rectifying the misidentification of the PS3 controller category involves a systematic approach to reconfigure its driver settings and ensure seamless integration with your PC as a game controller. By following the steps outlined below, you can effectively reset the PS3 controller category, allowing it to function optimally as intended.
1. Installation of SCP Toolkit: Begin by installing the SCP Toolkit, a comprehensive driver package designed to facilitate the seamless connection of PS3 controllers to PCs. This toolkit includes the necessary drivers and configuration settings to accurately recognize the PS3 controller as a game controller, thereby resolving any misidentification issues.
2. Connecting the PS3 Controller: Once the SCP Toolkit is installed, connect your PS3 controller to your PC using a USB cable. The toolkit will automatically detect the controller and initiate the driver installation process, ensuring that it is recognized as a game controller rather than an unspecified device.
3. Driver Configuration: After the controller is successfully recognized, access the SCP Toolkit settings to configure the driver parameters according to your preferences. This step allows you to customize button mappings, sensitivity settings, and other controller-specific configurations to enhance your gaming experience on the PC.
4. Testing and Calibration: To ensure that the PS3 controller is functioning correctly as a game controller for your PC, perform a thorough testing and calibration process within the SCP Toolkit interface. This step enables you to verify the responsiveness of buttons, analog sticks, and motion controls, ensuring that the controller operates seamlessly within various games and applications.
5. Optimizing Compatibility: In certain cases, specific games or applications may require additional configuration to fully utilize the PS3 controller’s capabilities. Utilize the SCP Toolkit’s compatibility settings to tailor the controller’s behavior to suit the requirements of individual games, thereby maximizing its compatibility and functionality.
By meticulously following these steps and leveraging the capabilities of the SCP Toolkit, you can effectively reset the PS3 controller category back to its designated role as a game controller for your PC. This process not only resolves any misidentification issues but also empowers you to harness the full potential of your PS3 controller in the realm of PC gaming, ensuring a seamless and immersive gaming experience.

Ohio State football wide receiver Bryson Rodgers plans to enter transfer portal
Ohio State wide receiver Bryson Rodgers plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, he announced on Instagram on Sunday.
Rodgers spent a season with the Buckeyes after he enrolled last January. He appeared in two games, but did not catch a pass.
At a news conference two days before the Cotton Bowl, offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline had praised Rodgers for his development as a freshman.
“Bryson’s really done good a job,” Hartline said, “and continued to grow.”
Rodgers signed with the Buckeyes last winter as part of a class stacked with premier receiver recruits. Three of their four highest-ranked prospects were pass catchers, including Brandon Inniss, Noah Rogers and Carnell Tate who were all top-60 overall recruits.
While a four-star recruit like Rogers and Tate, Rodgers was lower ranked as a prospect at No. 357 overall, according to 247Sports’ composite.
Rodgers, who is from Zephyrhills, Florida, would follow defensive lineman Jaden McKenzie and punter Jesse Mirco as the third Ohio State player to enter the portal since its loss to Missouri in the bowl game on Friday to end the year.

Uganda’s President Museveni Takes Strong Stance Against Corruption Amidst Financial Crisis
President Kaguta Museveni of Uganda has taken a resolute stance against corruption, signaling a robust attempt to suppress the malfeasance that’s been eroding the country’s financial foundation. With a firm commitment to battling corruption, Museveni has emphasized that the corrupt are a minority exploiting their power and access to public funds, causing a detrimental effect on the majority.
Addressing the Debt Crisis
The financial pressures and debt distress that many African countries, including Uganda, are grappling with have led to a seismic shift in the administration’s focus. The inability to meet debt obligations has resulted in a critical debt crisis, diverting spending away from health, education, and other essential needs. This crisis, predicted to persist into 2024, is directly correlated with Uganda’s fight against misuse of public funds.
Low Tax to GDP Ratio
Compounding the issue, African countries have a low tax to GDP ratio, which severely hampers their capacity to pay off debts and provide crucial public services. This financial constraint further emphasizes the gravity of public fund misuse and the need to address it.
Corruption: A Roadblock to Development
Corruption poses a significant hurdle to sustainable development in Africa. It exacerbates poverty, unemployment, and negatively impacts infrastructure development and service delivery. The detrimental effects of corruption on Africa’s growth cannot be overstated, and the urgent need to tackle this issue has been spotlighted.
President Museveni’s commitment to exposing and dealing with corrupt individuals is a beacon of hope in these challenging times. His message, conveyed through a social media platform, encourages citizens to stay informed about the government’s anti-corruption initiatives. As Uganda steps into the new year, the focus is clear: rooting out corruption and paving the way for a sustainable future.

Xi says China will ‘surely be reunified’ with self-ruled Taiwan in New Year’s address
Beijing: Chinese President Xi Jinping said China would “surely be reunified” with Taiwan during his televised New Year’s address, renewing Beijing’s threats to take over the self-ruled island, which it considers its own.
Taiwan split from China amid civil war in 1949, but Beijing continues to regard the island of 23 million with its high-tech economy as Chinese territory and has been ramping up its threat to achieve that by military force if necessary.
“China will surely be reunified, and all Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should be bound by a common sense of purpose,” Xi said in his annual address, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
China has described Taiwan’s January 13 presidential and parliamentary elections as a choice between war and peace.
Beijing considers the presidential front-runner, William Lai, who currently serves as vice president from the ruling Democratic People’s Party, a “separatist” and has accused him and Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen of trying to provoke a Chinese attack on the island.
On Saturday, Chen Binhua, spokesman for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, called Lai a “destroyer of peace” following a televised debate earlier that day in which Lai defended Taiwan’s right to rule itself as a democracy.
Chen said Lai’s discourse at the debate was “full of confrontational thinking,” adding that the vice president is “the instigator of a potential dangerous war in the Taiwan Strait”.
Lai had said during the debate that Taiwan is not subordinate to China and that he was open to communications with Beijing “as long as there is equality and dignity on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.” While Lai doesn’t describe himself as seeking independence from Beijing, he generally maintains Taiwan is already an independent country.
Lai’s election rivals include Hou Yu-ih from the more China-friendly Kuomintang party, and Ko Wen-je from the Taiwan People’s Party.
Economic reform
The government has in recent months announced a series of measures to shore up China’s feeble post-pandemic economic recovery, which is being held back by a property slump, local government debt risks and slow global growth.
In his speech, Xi said China would deepen reforms to shore up confidence in the economy.
Xi said China will “consolidate and enhance the positive trend of economic recovery, and achieve stable and long-term economic development,” Xi said.
“We must comprehensively deepen reform and opening up, further boost confidence in development, enhance economic vitality, and make greater efforts to promote education, promote science and technology, and cultivate talents.”
Xi voiced his concerns over difficulties facing some firms’ operations and the hardship facing some people in employment and their daily lives, and the impact of natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes in some regions.
China will promote high-quality development and balance development and security in a well-coordinated way, Xi added.
Analysts expect China’s economic growth to hit the official target of around 5 per cent this year, and Beijing is expected to maintain the same target next year.
Earlier this month, top Chinese leaders met and laid out economic plans for 2024, pledging to take more steps to support the recovery. The central bank has pledged to step up policy adjustments to support the economy and promote a rebound in prices, amid signs of rising deflationary pressures.

It seems like Brock Purdy makes history every time he steps onto the football field.
His latest feat in San Francisco's 27-10 Week 17 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday at FedExField undoubtedly was his biggest to date.
Purdy passed former 49ers quarterback Jeff Garcia (4,278 yards) for the most passing yards in franchise history in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win. With 230 passing yards against the Commanders, Purdy now has 4,280 on the 2023 NFL season with the potential to add to his record if he and other starters play in the Week 18 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams at Levi's Stadium.
Stay in the game with the latest updates on your beloved Bay Area and California sports teams! Sign up here for our All Access Daily newsletter.
In speaking to reporters after the game, Purdy reflected on setting the record and humbly credited his teammates and the organization for his success this season.
"It's an honor to be able to come into an organization with the rich history this place has and obviously be able to break a record like that," Purdy said. "To me, just the human side of it, it's cool. I was just a little kid dreaming of playing in the NFL and to be able to do something like that ... man, I've got to say it's a testament to the team that I have around me. The dudes I get to throw the ball to, the guys on defense, special teams, our coaches, the organization.
"Everything's been so good for me to come in and they've allowed me to have success. So it's a testament to everyone around me and I'm very thankful."
San Francisco 49ers
Purdy's two touchdown passes against the Commanders give him 31 on the season, which is tied with Joe Montana and Jeff Garcia for the fourth-most in franchise history. Steve Young holds the record and the top two spots with 36 and 35 in 1998 and 1994, respectively. Garcia has the third-most with 32 in 2001.
With San Francisco clinching the NFC's No. 1 playoff seed Sunday, it remains to be seen if Purdy and most of the 49ers' starters will play in the regular-season finale against the Rams next weekend.
If Purdy does play, he'll have an opportunity to inch closer to another record.

Happy New Year!
Welcome to The Playlist: my weekly column that lets you know who and what to play — when it comes to music or other things in my rotation — for the upcoming week in fantasy basketball.
Each week, you'll see a compilation of the pickups you need to make, lineup notes (who's in and out of rotations), followed by key takeaways on the schedule.
So press play and shuffle through the latest fantasy basketball info.
ICYMI:A significant trade went down on Saturday in the Eastern Conference between the New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors.
O.G. Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn were traded to the New York Knicks
RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and a 2024 second-round pick were traded to the Toronto Raptors
Fantasy impact:
Quickley will be the biggest winner of this trade, as he'll see more minutes for a Raptors franchise that likely isn't finished making moves on its journey to a rebuild. With Dennis Schröder moving to the bench, there's a good chance IQ starts from the jump, but remember, the Raptors will still showcase Gary Trent Jr. in addition to Schröder in the hopes of increasing their trade value. Keep your eyes on the prize and ensure Quickley's not available on waivers because he could be the point guard Toronto's been looking for.
Anunoby has disappointed this season, ranking outside the top 100 in 9-category and points leagues. Still, now that he's landed in New York, we'll see a rejuvenated version with more minutes and an expanded role as the third option on offense.
Barrett should become a fan-favorite returning to Ontario, and the change of scenery is probably a good thing. Still, he's outside the top 200 in 9-category leagues and top 100 in points leagues, so he'll have to show more than scoring 18 points per night if he's going to be worth holding onto.
Achiuwa will likely see minutes behind Isaiah Hartenstein with Jericho Sims (groin) out of the lineup. He'll be much-needed depth for the Knicks, who are currently trotting out old af Taj Gibson. He's someone to add to your watchlist in 12+ team leagues.
Who's in my rotation: players to pick up on waivers that are less than 50% rostered in Yahoo leagues
Must adds in Week 11:
Dante Exum - PG/SG, Dallas Mavericks (38% rostered)
Y'all are dropping the ball if Exum is sitting on waivers. Mavs HC Jason Kidd announced that Exum would remain in the starting lineup after Kyrie Irving (heel) is healthy, which means you can confidently hold Exum for the foreseeable future. He's been outstanding for the Mavs and fantasy managers, charting as a top 70 player in per-game value over the last month in 9-category leagues and top 100 in points formats. He's doing everything but blocking shots for fantasy managers, and he is a must-roster, no matter the format.
Nick Richards - C. Charlotte Hornets (34%)
The Hornets' injury reporting is becoming more suspect than Puffy's track record. Mark Williams has been listed as day-to-day since early December, missing 10 straight games with a lower back contusion and no substantive update on when he'll return. Alas, Nick Richards is filling the void, averaging very close to a double-double as a starter this year. He's had a few duds here and there, but he's also provided fantasy managers with four double-doubles over his last six outings. With no clarity on Mark Williams, Richards must be rostered in all leagues.
Duncan Robinson - SG/SF, Miami Heat (50%)
The injury bug is back in Miami, leaving more opportunity for Duncan Robinson to continue his career year. Robinson has been a top 90 player in 9-category leagues for much of the season and will be a consistent scoring threat with efficiency and sneaky assists. He's getting close to 30 minutes per night, which won't change anytime soon.
Players to hold in Week 11:
Derrick Jones Jr. - SF, Dallas Mavericks (20%)
Like Exum, Kidd included DJJ in his starting lineup once Irving returns, which is great for fantasy managers. He's still under-rostered, given his ability to knock down threes and generate stocks. He's averaging 2.4 stocks per game over his last five games, with 13.6 points and 5.2 rebounds. Dallas will play four games in Week 11 with plus matchups against the Jazz and Trail Blazers twice — keep rolling with DJJ.
Alex Caruso - PG/SG, Chicago Bulls (41%)
Over the past week, he's been a top 100 player, posting 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.3 threes, and 1.3 steals in just under 30 minutes per game. As long as he's healthy, Caruso should be rostered. He's a stat stuffer who can raise the floor of your fantasy team defensively.
Malik Beasley - SG/SF, Milwaukee Bucks (41%)
Beasley's been trending down over the past week, falling under 50% and quickly approaching only 40%. However, he's heating back up, so grab him if you can. The Bucks have a favorable schedule in Week 11, and the three-point specialist has been cashing threes at a high rate (10 over his past two games). With games on Monday, Tuesday and Saturday, you'll likely get multiple days of production from just one transaction.
Day'Ron Sharpe - C, Brooklyn Nets (22%)
A per-minute beast, Sharpe has been a massive boost for fantasy managers lately. He ranked 65th in 9-category leagues in Week 10 and has produced in under 20 minutes per game. Over the past six games, Sharpe has averaged 11.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks while shooting 68% from the field. He's not a good free-throw shooter but the counting stats make him worth holding at the moment.
Players to stream in Week 11:
Tre Jones - PG, San Antonio Spurs (47%)
Jones' minutes have been steady over the last three games, with at least 27 minutes each. He's filled up the stat sheet, posting 9.6 points, 6.0 assists and 5.7 rebounds while shooting an efficient 55% from the field. The Spurs play on two of their three games on Tuesday and Thursday, making him a viable stream in Week 11, assuming his minutes hold.
Patrick Williams - PF, Chicago Bulls (45%)
He's not a must add, considering two of his three matchups are against the Sixers and Knicks, but he's been useful and a top 100 player in 9-category leagues over the past two weeks. He's scored at least 13 points with a three-pointer in seven of his last eight games. He could sneak in a couple of stocks, too.
Malaki Branham - PG/SG/SF, San Antonio Spurs (9%)
Pop's rotations have been interesting, to say the least. He's tried Jeremy Sochan and now Branham at point guard before giving Tre Jones a shot. Branham's started the past 11 games for San Antonio and is averaging close to 11 points with three rebounds and three assists across 19 starts this year. It's nothing huge, but similar to Jones, playing on Tuesday and Thursday can get a couple of days' worth of production out of one transaction. His three positional eligibility helps, too.
Jonathan Kuminga - PF, Golden State Warriors (32%)
Draymond Green is rumored to return sometime between January 4-7th, which means Kuminga's days are likely numbered as a starter. But before we officially begin the countdown, JK's scoring and rebounding could be valuable this week. The Warriors play on Tuesday and Thursday as part of their four-game week, so he'll get run on the lighter slates.
Watchlist for Week 11:
Goga Bitadze - C, Orlando Magic (22%)
Wendell Carter Jr. missed Friday and Sunday's games with knee soreness, which offered up two starts for Bitadze, where he didn't disappoint. He's blocked at least one shot in 11 of his last 12 games and is averaging 2.6 stocks in 21 starts this year. If you need blocks and Wendell sits, he's worth streaming with the Magic playing four games in Week 11.
Jabari Walker - SF/ PF, Portland Trail Blazers (4%)
Deandre Ayton (knee) and Duop Reath (back) missed the past two games, and Walker broke out in a significant way in Saturday's win over the Spurs, delivering a career-high 25 points (7-11 FG, 11-13 FT) with nine boards, one assists, one steal and one block in 30 minutes off the bench.
Other streaming options:
Shallow leagues:
Immanuel Quickley - PG/SG, Toronto Raptors (62%)

Rotation notes:
X-rays negative on Heat F Jimmy Butler's foot
The play: Butler's missed eight games this season, but the foot injury is new. Heat HC Erik Spoelstra didn't provide an update on Butler's status, so he's already been ruled out for Monday. Fantasy managers can assume he'll be limited in Week 11, so keep riding with Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Duncan Robinson.
Nuggets F Aaron Gordon (dog bite) expects to return on Monday
The play: Peyton Watson can be dropped now that Gordon is trending towards playing on Monday. This is a welcomed news update, as it seemed like Gordon would miss an extended period dealing with lacerations on his face and shooting hand.
Daily Games Played:
Monday: 8
Tuesday: 6
Wednesday: 12
Thursday: 2
Friday: 14

Panthers owner David Tepper appeared to throw a drink toward a group of Jaguars fans from his luxury box during Jacksonville's 26-0 win over Carolina on Sunday.
Video of the incident from an adjacent box was posted on social media. Tepper is seen tossing the contents of his cup out the window of his box, then slamming the cup down on a bar before walking out of view of the camera. A fan in Jaguars gear then stands up from his seat and climbs up to look into the window of the box. The video cuts off from there.
Not great: #Panthers owner David Tepper appears to have spilled his drink on a #Jaguars fan during today's frustrating 26-0 loss.

The video did not include audio. WCNC's Nick Carboni reports that Jaguars security inquired about the video. Sunday's game took placed at Jacksonville's EverBank Stadium.
The Panthers didn't provide an immediate response to media requests for a statement after the game. The NFL acknowledged the existence of the video in a statement from spokesperson Tim Schlittner, but didn't initially provide any other response in a statement Sunday afternoon.
"We are aware of the video and have no further comment at this time," the statement reads.
Tepper, 66, has owned the Panthers since 2018. He purchased the team from founding owner Jerry Richardson, who sold the Panthers after a report revealed allegations of sexual and racial harassment during Richardson's tenure as team owner.
The Panthers have failed to make the postseason or produce a winning record during Tepper's five-plus tenure as owner. Sunday's loss dropped the Panthers to an NFL-worst 2-14. But they won't have the No. 1 pick in the draft. They traded their first-round pick last season to the Chicago Bears to acquire the pick to select quarterback Bryce Young, who has struggled during his rookie season.

There’s no debating it’s been a trying season for the New England Patriots. But with the veteran leadership of Matthew Slater, David Andrews and others, the vast majority have not dropped their level of compete and have continued to say all the right things.
Some players inside New England’s locker room, however, apparently don’t feel Trent Brown is doing the same.
Boston Sports Journal’s Mike Giardi on Sunday wrote about the source of tension between the veteran offensive tackle and the team. Brown was benched Sunday, deemed a healthy scratch for the Patriots’ Week 17 game against the Buffalo Bills.

Giardi quoted an unnamed Patriots player who threw shade at Brown’s buy-in.

“A lot of us — almost all — are fighting for each other and for pride, even though the results aren’t what any of us want,” the unnamed player told Giardi. “It sucks that not everyone is willing to put it out there. I hope people who sign the checks are paying attention.”
Brown suffered from ankle and knee injuries in Week 8 and missed the next two games prior to a Week 11 bye. He also was inactive in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
“Internally, I’m told, there was belief Brown could have returned before and did not,” Giardi wrote. “The belief was that he was protecting himself and his future earnings in a season without the promise of a postseason.
“With the number of players on the roster who were playing through injuries — including those on the offensive line — needless to say, that hasn’t gone over very well (and nor should it).”

Giardi also noted how some inside the confines of One Patriots Place view Brown as an “independent contractor,” who’s only concerned with himself and his finances. Brown’s tardiness has been another source of frustration for the team, per Giardi.
Brown is set to hit free agency this offseason. And it’s becoming increasingly likely he and the Patriots go their separate ways after the campaign concludes.

UK and India Aim to Finalize Free Trade Agreement by Easter 2024
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is accelerating efforts to secure a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with India by Easter 2024. This goal dovetails with a crucial timeline in India—the general elections scheduled for April 1. The FTA negotiations, initiated in January of the previous year, are designed to augment the existing GBP 36-billion bilateral trade relationship between the two nations. The most recent round of talks wrapped up on December 15, laying the groundwork for the next—and possibly final—round of negotiations, expected to commence early in the new year.
UK and India: Shared Determination to Fortify Trade Ties
Both Sunak and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have expressed eagerness to finalize the deal before the upcoming elections in India. The sense of urgency is palpable, with general elections also looming in the UK in 2024. The areas of focus for the UK in these discussions include Scotch whisky, cars, services, and investment opportunities. Meanwhile, India is pushing for wider access for its goods and services and a more favorable professional visa arrangement.
Progress Despite Setbacks
The path to the FTA has not been without its hurdles. An initial deadline set by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson to conclude the deal by Diwali 2022 was missed. However, both nations have reiterated that the quality of the deal takes precedence over adhering to a strict timeline. Despite earlier speculation about a potential signing during an England-India cricket match, other political and global events have refocused priorities.
Optimism and Confirmation
The UK Department for Business and Trade has confirmed the continuation of negotiations towards a comprehensive FTA. India’s External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar, has also expressed optimism about the ongoing progress and highlighted the immense importance of the FTA for both nations. As the final round of talks approaches, the anticipation is building for a deal that could significantly reshape the economic landscape for both the UK and India.

Happy New Year!
Welcome to The Playlist: my weekly column that lets you know who and what to play — when it comes to music or other things in my rotation — for the upcoming week in fantasy basketball.
Each week, you'll see a compilation of the pickups you need to make, lineup notes (who's in and out of rotations), followed by key takeaways on the schedule.
So press play and shuffle through the latest fantasy basketball info.
ICYMI:A significant trade went down on Saturday in the Eastern Conference between the New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors.
O.G. Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn were traded to the New York Knicks
RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and a 2024 second-round pick were traded to the Toronto Raptors
Fantasy impact:
Quickley will be the biggest winner of this trade, as he'll see more minutes for a Raptors franchise that likely isn't finished making moves on its journey to a rebuild. With Dennis Schröder moving to the bench, there's a good chance IQ starts from the jump, but remember, the Raptors will still showcase Gary Trent Jr. in addition to Schröder in the hopes of increasing their trade value. Keep your eyes on the prize and ensure Quickley's not available on waivers because he could be the point guard Toronto's been looking for.
Anunoby has disappointed this season, ranking outside the top 100 in 9-category and points leagues. Still, now that he's landed in New York, we'll see a rejuvenated version with more minutes and an expanded role as the third option on offense.
Barrett should become a fan-favorite returning to Ontario, and the change of scenery is probably a good thing. Still, he's outside the top 200 in 9-category leagues and top 100 in points leagues, so he'll have to show more than scoring 18 points per night if he's going to be worth holding onto.
Achiuwa will likely see minutes behind Isaiah Hartenstein with Jericho Sims (groin) out of the lineup. He'll be much-needed depth for the Knicks, who are currently trotting out old af Taj Gibson. He's someone to add to your watchlist in 12+ team leagues.
Who's in my rotation: players to pick up on waivers that are less than 50% rostered in Yahoo leagues
Must adds in Week 11:
Dante Exum - PG/SG, Dallas Mavericks (38% rostered)
Y'all are dropping the ball if Exum is sitting on waivers. Mavs HC Jason Kidd announced that Exum would remain in the starting lineup after Kyrie Irving (heel) is healthy, which means you can confidently hold Exum for the foreseeable future. He's been outstanding for the Mavs and fantasy managers, charting as a top 70 player in per-game value over the last month in 9-category leagues and top 100 in points formats. He's doing everything but blocking shots for fantasy managers, and he is a must-roster, no matter the format.
Nick Richards - C. Charlotte Hornets (34%)
The Hornets' injury reporting is becoming more suspect than Puffy's track record. Mark Williams has been listed as day-to-day since early December, missing 10 straight games with a lower back contusion and no substantive update on when he'll return. Alas, Nick Richards is filling the void, averaging very close to a double-double as a starter this year. He's had a few duds here and there, but he's also provided fantasy managers with four double-doubles over his last six outings. With no clarity on Mark Williams, Richards must be rostered in all leagues.
Duncan Robinson - SG/SF, Miami Heat (50%)
The injury bug is back in Miami, leaving more opportunity for Duncan Robinson to continue his career year. Robinson has been a top 90 player in 9-category leagues for much of the season and will be a consistent scoring threat with efficiency and sneaky assists. He's getting close to 30 minutes per night, which won't change anytime soon.
Players to hold in Week 11:
Derrick Jones Jr. - SF, Dallas Mavericks (20%)
Like Exum, Kidd included DJJ in his starting lineup once Irving returns, which is great for fantasy managers. He's still under-rostered, given his ability to knock down threes and generate stocks. He's averaging 2.4 stocks per game over his last five games, with 13.6 points and 5.2 rebounds. Dallas will play four games in Week 11 with plus matchups against the Jazz and Trail Blazers twice — keep rolling with DJJ.
Alex Caruso - PG/SG, Chicago Bulls (41%)
Over the past week, he's been a top 100 player, posting 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.3 threes, and 1.3 steals in just under 30 minutes per game. As long as he's healthy, Caruso should be rostered. He's a stat stuffer who can raise the floor of your fantasy team defensively.
Malik Beasley - SG/SF, Milwaukee Bucks (41%)
Beasley's been trending down over the past week, falling under 50% and quickly approaching only 40%. However, he's heating back up, so grab him if you can. The Bucks have a favorable schedule in Week 11, and the three-point specialist has been cashing threes at a high rate (10 over his past two games). With games on Monday, Tuesday and Saturday, you'll likely get multiple days of production from just one transaction.
Day'Ron Sharpe - C, Brooklyn Nets (22%)
A per-minute beast, Sharpe has been a massive boost for fantasy managers lately. He ranked 65th in 9-category leagues in Week 10 and has produced in under 20 minutes per game. Over the past six games, Sharpe has averaged 11.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks while shooting 68% from the field. He's not a good free-throw shooter but the counting stats make him worth holding at the moment.
Players to stream in Week 11:
Tre Jones - PG, San Antonio Spurs (47%)
Jones' minutes have been steady over the last three games, with at least 27 minutes each. He's filled up the stat sheet, posting 9.6 points, 6.0 assists and 5.7 rebounds while shooting an efficient 55% from the field. The Spurs play on two of their three games on Tuesday and Thursday, making him a viable stream in Week 11, assuming his minutes hold.
Patrick Williams - PF, Chicago Bulls (45%)
He's not a must add, considering two of his three matchups are against the Sixers and Knicks, but he's been useful and a top 100 player in 9-category leagues over the past two weeks. He's scored at least 13 points with a three-pointer in seven of his last eight games. He could sneak in a couple of stocks, too.
Malaki Branham - PG/SG/SF, San Antonio Spurs (9%)
Pop's rotations have been interesting, to say the least. He's tried Jeremy Sochan and now Branham at point guard before giving Tre Jones a shot. Branham's started the past 11 games for San Antonio and is averaging close to 11 points with three rebounds and three assists across 19 starts this year. It's nothing huge, but similar to Jones, playing on Tuesday and Thursday can get a couple of days' worth of production out of one transaction. His three positional eligibility helps, too.
Jonathan Kuminga - PF, Golden State Warriors (32%)
Draymond Green is rumored to return sometime between January 4-7th, which means Kuminga's days are likely numbered as a starter. But before we officially begin the countdown, JK's scoring and rebounding could be valuable this week. The Warriors play on Tuesday and Thursday as part of their four-game week, so he'll get run on the lighter slates.
Watchlist for Week 11:
Goga Bitadze - C, Orlando Magic (22%)
Wendell Carter Jr. missed Friday and Sunday's games with knee soreness, which offered up two starts for Bitadze, where he didn't disappoint. He's blocked at least one shot in 11 of his last 12 games and is averaging 2.6 stocks in 21 starts this year. If you need blocks and Wendell sits, he's worth streaming with the Magic playing four games in Week 11.
Jabari Walker - SF/ PF, Portland Trail Blazers (4%)
Deandre Ayton (knee) and Duop Reath (back) missed the past two games, and Walker broke out in a significant way in Saturday's win over the Spurs, delivering a career-high 25 points (7-11 FG, 11-13 FT) with nine boards, one assists, one steal and one block in 30 minutes off the bench.
Other streaming options:
Shallow leagues:
Immanuel Quickley - PG/SG, Toronto Raptors (62%)
Brandin Podziemski - SG, Golden State Warriors (57%)
Jaden McDaniels - SF/PF, Minnesota Timberwolves (51%)
Kelly Oubre Jr. - SF, Philadelphia 76ers (47%)
Deep leagues:
Dario Šarić - PF/C, Golden State Warriors (25%)
Gary Trent Jr. - PG/SG, Toronto Raptors (36%)
Keyonte George - PG/SG, Utah Jazz (32%)
Paul Reed - PF/C, Philadelphia 76ers (32%)
Donte DiVincenzo - SG/SF, New York Knicks (23%)
Aaron Nesmith - SF/PF, Indiana Pacers (27%)
Jalen Smith - PF/C, Indiana Pacers (17%)
Cody Martin - SG/SF, Charlotte Hornets (2%)
Rotation notes:
X-rays negative on Heat F Jimmy Butler's foot
The play: Butler's missed eight games this season, but the foot injury is new. Heat HC Erik Spoelstra didn't provide an update on Butler's status, so he's already been ruled out for Monday. Fantasy managers can assume he'll be limited in Week 11, so keep riding with Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Duncan Robinson.
Nuggets F Aaron Gordon (dog bite) expects to return on Monday
The play: Peyton Watson can be dropped now that Gordon is trending towards playing on Monday. This is a welcomed news update, as it seemed like Gordon would miss an extended period dealing with lacerations on his face and shooting hand.

The Kansas City Chiefs have averted disaster.
Despite another sluggish Sunday, they rallied for a 25-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The win didn't do much to quell concerns about a tepid offense that anchored Kansas City through a 2-4 stretch following their Week 10 bye. But it did secure the AFC West title, avoiding a Week 18 scenario that could have seen them eliminated from the postseason.
The Chiefs got off to a strong start with a 75-yard opening drive that ended with a touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to Isaiah Pacheco. They wouldn't find the end zone from there.
After the Bengals answered with a touchdown to tie the game, the Chiefs turned the ball over with a fumble on their next possession. The Bengals then took a 17-17 lead that the the Chiefs cut to 17-13 at halftime. From there, kicker Harrison Butker and the Kansas City defense did the bulk of the work.
Butker successfully kicked four second-half field goals to extend a personal 18-0 scoring run over the Bengals as Kansas City shut Cincinnati out in the second half.
The Bengals had a chance to tie the game after Butker's sixth field goal extended Kansas City's lead to 25-17. They converted a fourth-and-18 after Justin Reid sack of Jake Browning at the Cincinnati 38-yard line. But Chiefs defenders sacked Browning two more times to force a fourth-and-27 that the Bengals would not convert.
The stop allowed the Chiefs to run out the clock and clinch an eighth consecutive AFC West title.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Neither Mac Jones nor Bailey Zappe ever will admit it, but the dynamic between the two quarterbacks is awkward.
Following last season’s infamous “Zappe Fever“-induced QB controversy, the two barely could be seen talking to each other during training camp. And Jones surely can’t love watching Zappe start five consecutive games while he warms the bench.
However, Jones has remained cordial and professional with Zappe since being demoted in early December. And he took his support up a notch Sunday during New England’s 27-21 road loss to the Buffalo Bills.
After Zappe scrambled for a touchdown in the first half, Jones sprinted down the sideline to celebrate with his teammate in the end zone. Perhaps we’re giving him too much credit, but it seemed like an authentic, spur-of-the-moment reaction from Jones.
Story continues below advertisement
During a postgame news conference, Zappe was asked to offer insight into his relationship with a player who once looked like the Patriots’ quarterback of the future.
“Yeah, it’s been good,” Zappe said. “Both of us, we both want to win games. So, whoever’s out on the field, we’re gonna help the other one. If we ever see anything, we’re gonna tell one another. We’re gonna celebrate with one another whenever we score a touchdown, score points. You know, it’s a team game. So, you gotta support your guys. And he’s done a great job of that.”
Only Zappe and Jones know how they truly feel about each other. But at the end of the day, none of that matters. All that matters is they’re good teammates and supportive on gamedays.
Maintaining a good attitude while carrying the clipboard undoubtedly is a challenge for Jones. So far, he’s met it.

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.
The country also is entering an the beginning of an election year that seems likely to enmesh the court in some way in the ongoing criminal cases against Trump and efforts to keep the Republican former president off the 2024 ballot.
Along with his eight colleagues, Roberts almost never discusses cases that are before the Supreme Court or seem likely to get there. In past reports, he has advocated for enhanced security and salary increases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts.
Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes, but don't make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won't soon replace judges.
At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determines "whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment," Roberts wrote.
Looking ahead warily to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: "I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI."

Arteta called it their "worst game of the season" after Arsenal failed to capitalise on an early lead and lost their second straight game, ending the year fourth after being top of the table at Christmas.
"Painful and sad day, that's how I would sum it up... we simply weren't good enough," he told reporters.
"We could not control the direct play. It was so easy for (Fulham) to win that first, second ball and have opportunity to run, and we conceded (two goals that way).
"What happened today cannot happen again. Because if you do that you will never have the chance to be where we want to be."
The North London side have 40 points after 20 matches, two behind leaders Liverpool who play their game in hand on Monday against Newcastle United.
"It could have been a beautiful way to end the year and finish top of the league, but these are the margins," Arteta added.
The Spaniard said the team needed to focus on improving going forward.
"We want to win games," he said.
"We have a chance to be the best in the best in the league with these players. So, they are really good and we are going to continue to work with them."
Arsenal resume their league campaign on January 20th against Crystal Palace.

Goedert had five receptions on six targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-31 loss to Cardinals.
Goedert's five catches brought him up to 58 on the year, tying his previous personal best set back in 2019. The 28-year-old also caught one of Jalen Hurts' three touchdown passes Sunday, giving the tight end three receiving scores through 13 active games. Goedert's 2023 season will stand alone as his highest reception total if he can simply secure one catch in the regular-season finale against the Giants in Week 18.

Unison Scotland Chief Calls for Transparency Over Possible Public Sector Cuts
In a recent statement, Lilian Macer, the leader of Unison Scotland, the largest public services union in the country, has voiced her concern over potential cuts to public services. Macer criticized the Scottish government for threatening job cuts without any prior consultation with the union. This allegation came on the heels of Deputy First Minister Shona Robison‘s declaration that budget pressures could necessitate a reduction in the public sector workforce. However, Robison refrained from providing specific numbers in an attempt to stave off unnecessary anxiety among workers.
Government’s Stance on Redundancies
The government has reaffirmed its commitment to avoiding compulsory redundancies and expressed its intention to collaborate with trade unions. The proposed Scottish budget for 2024-25 implies that the impending financial challenges cannot be mitigated by taxation or traditional service delivery methods alone. The government is instead leaning towards investment, reform, and partnership with trade unions to ensure the sustainability of services.
Union’s Concern and Opposition
Despite these assurances, Macer has expressed her apprehension that public services and the workforce might become targets of these cuts. She underscored the necessity for politicians to be forthright about which services might be halted. She further revealed that the union has not been approached for discussions on the ramifications of potential cuts. Macer has reaffirmed Unison’s opposition to any compulsory redundancies and announced plans to engage the government for more detailed information.
Implications for the Scottish Public Sector
The public sector in Scotland employs nearly 542,800 individuals, with roughly half serving in local government. Community needs such as people awaiting care packages and hospital discharges are already unmet, creating additional worry over potential cuts. A deficit of £1.5 billion is anticipated for the Scottish government, leading to calls for service reform to ensure that public sector workforces remain sustainable and efficient.

Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II to step down from throne on Jan. 14
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II announced Sunday that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik.
The queen, who is Europe’s longest-reigning living monarch, announced during her New Year’s speech that she would step down on Jan. 14th, which is the anniversary of her own accession to the throne at age 31 following the death of her father, King Frederik IX.
Margrethe, 83, said the back surgery she underwent in early 2023 led to “thoughts about the future” and when to pass on the responsibilities of the crown to her son. “I have decided that now is the right time,” she said in her speech.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen paid tribute to her in a statement, offering a “heartfelt thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for her lifelong dedication and tireless efforts for the Kingdom.”
Margrethe is the “epitome of Denmark” Frederiksen’s statement read, and “throughout the years has put words and feelings into who we are as a people and as a nation.”
The 6-foot-tall (1.82-meters-tall), chain-smoking Margrethe has been one of the most popular public figures in Denmark, where the monarch’s role is largely ceremonial. She often walked the streets of Copenhagen virtually unescorted and won the admiration of Danes for her warm manners and for her talents as a linguist and designer.
A keen skier, she was a member of a Danish women’s air force unit as a princess, taking part in judo courses and endurance tests in the snow. Margrethe remained tough even as she grew older. In 2011, at age 70, she visited Danish troops in southern Afghanistan wearing a military jumpsuit.
As monarch, she crisscrossed the country and regularly visited Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, the two semi-independent territories which are part of the Danish Realm, and was met everywhere by cheering crowds.
Denmark has Europe’s oldest ruling monarchy, which traces its line back to the Viking king Gorm the Old, who died in 958. Although Magrethe is head of state, the Danish Constitution strictly ruled out her involvement in party politics.
Yet the queen was clearly well-versed in law and knew the contents of the legislation she was called upon to sign.
She received training in French and English from her earliest years, as well as Swedish from her mother. In addition to archaeology, she studied philosophy, political science and economics at universities in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Cambridge along with the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne in Paris.
Ever since his birth on May 26, 1968, Frederik André Henrik Christian has been the heir to the Danish throne.
He is the oldest son of Queen Margrethe and her late French-born husband, Prince Henrik, who died February 2018. Frederik, 55, has a younger brother, Prince Joachim.
Since the age of 18, he has served as regent whenever his mother was outside the kingdom and carried out official duties, shaking hands with thousands and receiving foreign dignitaries.
The queen’s announcement made up only a few sentences at the end of her wide-ranging New Year’s speech which reflected on the “turbulence and upheaval in the world” amid the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the climate crisis.
But she also thanked her nation’s people for “the warmth and hospitality I meet with everywhere in Denmark.”
While lavishing accolades on the queen, the prime minister also looked to the future.
“In the new year, Crown Prince Frederik will be proclaimed king. Crown Princess Mary will become queen. The kingdom will have a new regent and a new royal couple,” he said in his statement. “We can look forward to all of this in the knowledge that they are ready for the responsibility and the task.”

No first-round draft pick hopes to play for three different NFL teams before the end of his rookie contract, but Jalen Reagor is glad he landed with the Patriots.
The fourth-year wide receiver explained after Sunday’s 27-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills why he “really” enjoys playing for New England.
“I really love it, honestly, because it keeps me focused,” Reagor told reporters at Highmark Stadium. “I’m still young. I’m only 24. I turn 25 Jan. 2. This organization has a lot of structure, and for a young player like myself to focus, and all these great coaches around here — (Bill) O’Brien, Coach (Bill) Belichick, Joe Judge, Troy Brown — it’s just a good learning experience.”
Reagor, who was drafted 21st overall by Philadelphia in 2020, is a depth player in one of the NFL’s worst receiving corps. But the TCU product recently found a niche as a productive kick returner.
Story continues below advertisement
Against the Bills, Reagor returned Tyler Bass’ opening kickoff 98 yards for the Patriots’ first kick-return touchdown since 2018.
It was Reagor’s first trip to the end zone since October 2022, when he was playing for the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota cut him this summer, and he joined the Patriots’ practice squad, eventually earning a promotion to the 53-man roster in late October. He’s averaging 34.3 yards per kick return on six attempts since replacing Ty Montgomery in that role.
Reagor also hauled in a 39-yard pass from quarterback Bailey Zappe on Sunday to set up a fourth-quarter touchdown, though an earlier miscommunication between him and Zappe resulted in a Bills pick-six.
Story continues below advertisement
With JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kendrick Bourne on injured reserve and DeVante Parker exiting Sunday’s game with a ribs injury, Reagor should see ample playing time in next Sunday’s season finale against the New York Jets.
“Just finish strong,” the wideout told reporters. “This is the last year on my rookie deal, so I’m just earning my keep, and whatever happens, happens.”

The Rams looked like a veteran-heavy team entering the 2023 season. Matthew Stafford, older quarterback. Cooper Kupp, aging receiver. Sean McVay is a veteran coach. It looked like a team rolling out the same old stuff.
Another preseason narrative goes into the shredder. The best thing anyone could have done this fantasy season is prioritize a couple of emerging Rams right before the season, or in the first week of free agency.
The Rams escaped with a one-point win at the Giants on Sunday, and it was the fresh faces that paced the offense. Second-year running back Kyren Williams had 101 total yards and all three Los Angeles touchdowns, pushing to the top of fantasy's running back board. Rookie receiver Puka Nacua didn't break the game, but his 118 receiving yards were tops on the team. It was a fitting fantasy capper for two of the stories of the year.
Christian McCaffrey was probably the best fantasy player you could have rostered this year (an injury-clouded Week 17 to the side), but not everyone had a real chance at McCaffrey. He was an early pick in every room. If you were slotted late in the first round, he was never an option.
But anyone with summer intel to Williams or Nacua (or an aggressive FAAB tint in Week 1) was likely to land one of these guys, perhaps both. Williams and Nacua each had global ADPs outside the top 200 the final week of draft season and were unrostered in the majority of Yahoo leagues.
Nacua's signal was unavoidable in Week 1 — he threw a 10-catch, 119-yard masterpiece at the Seahawks. Williams was more subtle — although he had a pair of touchdowns, he managed a modest 52 yards on 15 carries. Cam Akers also had 22 rushes that day, though they went absolutely nowhere (29 yards), with a touchdown, too.
So after Week 1, we were wondering if Williams was good enough to take command of this job and if Nacua was good enough to hold onto significant market share even when Kupp (who would miss all of September) eventually returned.
An emphatic yes on both counts.
The Williams season had three parts to it. He rolled out an RB7, RB4, RB26. RB3, RB30 and RB2 opening to the year, before suffering an ankle injury in late October. Some shrewd fantasy managers might have traded for Williams while he was hurt, mindful of the delicious late-season schedule the Rams had waiting. Williams went into smash mode for the final third of the year, finishing RB1, RB9, RB18, RB5, RB11 and RB1 (in progress) the last six weeks.
That's what a league winner looks like.
Maybe Nacua isn't a grand slam like Williams, but he's still been a home run. He entered Week 17 as the WR7 in half-point PPR scoring (cumulative points), and the WR9 if you prefer a per-game average. He's had monster games with Kupp and without Kupp. It's amazing the Rams found this snappy rookie with the 177th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
It's been a quirky year for rookie pass catchers. Tight end Sam LaPorta is challenging for the TE1 spot, and Zay Flowers looks like a sure star. Jordan Addison and Rashee Rice have been reliable, Tank Dell was very good before a leg injury ended his year. Jayden Reed can play.
But there have been frustrating moments, too. Quentin Johnston might have been a first-round mistake. Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been part of a crowded and slightly underwhelming Seahawks offense. Marvin Mims Jr. teased us for weeks but never could do enough to get a Denver promotion. To be fair, Mims has made his share of rookie mistakes, too.
The LAR breakouts remind us that draft capital isn't the be-all and end-all. Williams was the 164th pick in the 2022 class, similar to where Nacua was taken last spring. No team is right with even the majority of its offensive evaluations, but if Sean McVay and Co. like a player, I'm at least going to take a second look.
And I know how important the September FAAB process often is. This year, there was a fantasy title, hiding in plain sight. You just needed to look west.
Other Week 17 Heroes
— It was no surprise to see mobile quarterbacks percolating to the top of the Week 17 leaderboard. To be fair, Lamar Jackson crushed Miami with his arm — five touchdown passes, 35 rushing yards. Looks like he'll lock up his second MVP before the ball drops in 2024. Hopefully, his second career playoff win isn't far behind. Jackson's 36.34 Yahoo points were easily tops for the position, with athletic maestros Justin Fields (313 total yards, two scores) and Kyler Murray (256 yards, three scores) settling in the 20s.
Josh Allen stands at QB5, and it was all from his legs — he only threw for 169 yards, but he ran 11 times for 44 yards and two scores. The Bills offense has been a strange watch since Joe Brady took over for Ken Dorsey.
— Arizona's stunning upset at Philadelphia had another hero: James Conner. He turned 27 touches into 133 yards and two scores. Volume and goal-line equity are wonderful things. If you kept the faith with Travis Etienne Jr. and De'Von Achane, you were rewarded. Etienne rushed for 102 yards and a couple of scores, and Achane was dynamic despite Miami's blowout loss, generating 137 total yards and a touchdown on 18 touches.
— Saturday night gave us a strong receiver push, with CeeDee Lamb (13-227-1) torching the Lions and Amon-Ra St. Brown (6-90-1) providing his usual drumbeat. They had name-brand company Sunday; Davante Adams was dominant (13-126-2) if you had the nerve to stick with him, DJ Moore (9-159-1) continues to click with Fields and Brandon Aiyuk (7-114-1) was part of San Francisco's expected get-back win at Washington.
Of course, there will always be plenty of receiver misses and disappointments; it's the ultimate boom/bust position. Tyreek Hill only posted a 6-76-0 line, not what we expect on 12 targets. He hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 13. The puzzling Stefon Diggs slump continued: four catches, 26 yards. His last spike came in Week 12; he's been a fantasy headache for two months. The Philadelphia passing touchdowns surprisingly went to Julio Jones (two) and Dallas Goedert (one), which meant A.J. Brown (4-53-0) and DeVonta Smith (3-30-0) came in well under their projections.
— Waiver-wire hawks were rewarded at tight end, where Juwan Johnson dominated at Tampa Bay (8-90-1) and Isaiah Likely picked up two touchdowns. It's also possible David Njoku (6-134-0) was scooped off the wire a few weeks back; he's looked like an All-Pro ever since Joe Flacco joined the Browns. Njoku would have had a much better game Thursday if the Jets fought back even a little bit.
As we send this piece to the editors, Travis Kelce is sitting on three targets, two catches, six yards. Other than Isiah Pacheco, no one on the Chiefs had a decent first half. Some things are too depressing to think about right now, but we'll have more Kansas City (and late-game thoughts) when I update this column later on Sunday.
I hope you get what you need. I hope you're planning a parade for the following week.

Senior Women's National Football Championship: West Bengal outplayed Maharashtra, Railways, Haryana earn full points

Amritsar (Punjab) [India], June 21 : West Bengal completed a 5-0 rout of Maharashtra in their Senior Women's National Football Championship 2022-23 Group B game at the GNDU Main Ground in Amritsar on Tuesday, June 20.
It all began with a 33rd minute strike from skipper Sangita Basfore, which gave the two-time national champions the lead. Rimpa Haldar added another to make it 2-0 before the two sides headed into the break. Bengal held on to their lead and looked likely to end the match with the full three points.
But the game was far from over as Ratna Halder scored Bengal's third goal in the 71st minute from the spot. Thereafter, substitute Dular Marandi scored twice in the span of six minutes to make it 5-0. Basfore was adjudged the Player of the Match, as per the-aiff.com.
The win, also their third in the Final Round of the tournament, kept Bengal on top of Group B standings, superior to Haryana only by goal difference.
Haryana pip Himachal
Haryana picked up their third consecutive victory of the competition after edging Himachal Pradesh 1-0 at the GNDU Main Ground. The joint Group B leaders banked on Aarti's lone strike in the 72nd minute to grab the three points.
The midfielder was left unmarked by the Himachal Pradesh defence at the far post as she tapped home a tantalising cross from the right flank by Parmila. Haryana were in the driver's seat for the majority of the game as they recorded 35 attempts out of which 10 were on target. They also enjoyed a massive 69% of the ball possession proving their command over the game.
Aarti was awarded the Player of the Match.
Railways edge out Manipur
Railways edged defending champions Manipur in a splendid 1-0 victory, here at the Guru Nanak Stadium. First-half strike from Manisa Panna was enough for the team to avenge their defeat in the previous year's final of the tournament.
Railways defender Supriya Routroy was named the Player of the Match for her solid display at the back. The win means the two teams stand equal on points in Group B with two wins and a loss each.

Here we'll revisit the controversies, conundrums, and captivating narratives that defined the Premier League in 2023.
Manchester United's sale saga
Manchester United's ownership saga wasn't just a footnote in 2023; it was a roaring chorus playing alongside every match at home and away.
The year began with ever-loud #GlazersOut protests echoing through Old Trafford, fueled by years of underperformance and the family's seemingly immovable grip on the club. Yet, performances on the pitch improved somewhat under Erik ten Hag towards the end of the 2022/23 season.
The 2023/24 campaign has drifted back into a loose debacle once more though, not helped by failed bidding wars and the Glazers putting off prospective buyers with over-inflated valuations of the club.
One devoted buyer has remained though, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe's emergence on the scene sending shimmers of hope amongst the fanbase.
While unsuccessful in a bid for a complete takeover, his INEOS group is pushing through a 25 per cent stake in the club - likely to be completed in early 2024 - that will prize away key decision-making powers from the Glazers, allowing fans of the Red Devils a bit of space to dream of becoming a competitive force on the pitch and in the market once more after a decade in the doldrums.
Toney, Tonali and gambling problems
Brentford's talisman Ivan Toney and Newcastle's big summer signing Sandro Tonali became embroiled in gambling scandals, casting a dark cloud over the beautiful game.
Both players received lengthy bans from football after being found guilty of betting on matches, the former for eight months after admitting 232 breaches of the Football Association's betting rules, while 23-year-old Tonali was banned from football for 10 months over breaches of rules on betting on matches in Italy whilst at AC Milan.
It raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the influence of the industry not just on fans but on players as well.
With calls for stricter regulations rising - as well as a shirt sponsor ban coming in the next few years - 2023 served as a stark reminder of the need to safeguard the integrity of the sport from the allure and pitfalls of gambling.
Is VAR going too far?
The Video Assistant Referee, once hailed as a revolutionary tool, faced even more intense scrutiny in 2023.
Controversial offside calls, penalty decisions reversed (or not), and seemingly endless goal reviews left fans and pundits alike questioning the system's effectiveness.
It seems no gameweek can go by without harsh criticism from a Premier League manager. This season alone has seen the likes of Wolves on the receiving end of a few bad calls, with manager Gary O'Neil saying he has been "turned against" VAR, claiming that bad decisions are impacting upon "people’s livelihoods" in the wake of a string of decisive poor calls against Fulham and Liverpool.
Arsenal's Mikel Arteta risked the wrath of the FA with a scathing attack on the officials after three separate incidents in the lead-up to the decisive goal were dismissed in his side's defeat to Newcastle in November.
Speaking after the match, Arteta went all in with his comments, stating: "It is embarrassing, it's an absolute disgrace, that's what it is, a disgrace. There's so much at stake, we've put in so many hours to compete at the highest level and you cannot imagine the amount of messages we've had saying this cannot continue."
There was also the unbelievable error made for Luis Diaz's disallowed goal between Liverpool and Tottenham in September, after which PGMOL were forced to reveal the audio tapes of the cataclysmic miscommunication between officials, with Reds boss Jurgen Klopp even calling for a replay of the match.
As VAR evolves, finding the right balance between fair officiating and a smooth-flowing game remains a crucial challenge for 2024 and beyond.
Erling Haaland's hunger for records
Erling Haaland's arrival at Manchester City rewrote the definition of prolific. From breathtaking volleys to gravity-defying finishes, the Norwegian sensation broke record after record, terrorising defences and mesmerising fans.
The Yorkshire Viking broke the record for most goals in a single Premier League season in his debut campaign for Manchester City - scoring 36 goals in his 35 appearances - comfortably beating Andy Cole and Alan Shearer (who both set the record in 42-game campaigns).
He also became the quickest player to 50 Premier League goals, taking just 48 matches to hit the half-century.
Haaland won a treble in his first season and will likely be aiming to break his own individual records for the foreseeable future, such was the shatteringly effectiveness of his debut campaign in England.
Everton, Manchester City and points deductions
Last but absolutely not least, 2023 was the year Financial Fair Play (FFP) got serious in the big-money but murky depths of the Premier League.
Everton received an unprecedented 10-point deduction following an investigation into breaches of FFP rules.
The Toffees were referred to an independent commission in March for an alleged breach of profit and sustainability rules in the period ending in the 2021/22 season.
The deduction is the biggest in the competition's history and dropped the club into the relegation zone at the time.
Everton released a statement saying they were "shocked and disappointed" by what they called an "unjust" ruling by the Premier League and are now appealing the decision.
Meanwhile, Manchester City's champagne football under Pep Guardiola was threatened by a storm brewing off the pitch - an investigation into their own alleged breaches of FFP regulations. The potential consequence? Points deductions, a sanction that could derail their future title ambitions and possibly even the stripping of their previous achievements.
Guardiola has called for a swift resolution, which shows no signs of materialising. They have been charged with breaking financial fair play rules around 100 times over a nine-year period, which starts in 2009 and goes on until 2018, allegedly failing to provide accurate financial information.
They won the Premier League three times during that period.
The juxtaposition between the cases of Everton and City has brought the ire of fan groups across the land but particularly (and understandably) with the Toffees, with many onlookers accusing the establishment of displaying an imbalanced and unfair approach to the two similar cases, simply because one is a European superpower.

The Rams looked like a veteran-heavy team entering the 2023 season. Matthew Stafford, older quarterback. Cooper Kupp, aging receiver. Sean McVay is a veteran coach. It looked like a team rolling out the same old stuff.
Another preseason narrative goes into the shredder. The best thing anyone could have done this fantasy season is prioritize a couple of emerging Rams right before the season, or in the first week of free agency.
The Rams escaped with a one-point win at the Giants on Sunday, and it was the fresh faces that paced the offense. Second-year running back Kyren Williams had 101 total yards and all three Los Angeles touchdowns, pushing to the top of fantasy's running back board. Rookie receiver Puka Nacua didn't break the game, but his 118 receiving yards were tops on the team. It was a fitting fantasy capper for two of the stories of the year.
Christian McCaffrey was probably the best fantasy player you could have rostered this year (an injury-clouded Week 17 to the side), but not everyone had a real chance at McCaffrey. He was an early pick in every room. If you were slotted late in the first round, he was never an option.
But anyone with summer intel to Williams or Nacua (or an aggressive FAAB tint in Week 1) was likely to land one of these guys, perhaps both. Williams and Nacua each had global ADPs outside the top 200 the final week of draft season and were unrostered in the majority of Yahoo leagues.
Nacua's signal was unavoidable in Week 1 — he threw a 10-catch, 119-yard masterpiece at the Seahawks. Williams was more subtle — although he had a pair of touchdowns, he managed a modest 52 yards on 15 carries. Cam Akers also had 22 rushes that day, though they went absolutely nowhere (29 yards), with a touchdown, too.
So after Week 1, we were wondering if Williams was good enough to take command of this job and if Nacua was good enough to hold onto significant market share even when Kupp (who would miss all of September) eventually returned.
An emphatic yes on both counts.
The Williams season had three parts to it. He rolled out an RB7, RB4, RB26. RB3, RB30 and RB2 opening to the year, before suffering an ankle injury in late October. Some shrewd fantasy managers might have traded for Williams while he was hurt, mindful of the delicious late-season schedule the Rams had waiting. Williams went into smash mode for the final third of the year, finishing RB1, RB9, RB18, RB5, RB11 and RB1 (in progress) the last six weeks.
That's what a league winner looks like.
Maybe Nacua isn't a grand slam like Williams, but he's still been a home run. He entered Week 17 as the WR7 in half-point PPR scoring (cumulative points), and the WR9 if you prefer a per-game average. He's had monster games with Kupp and without Kupp. It's amazing the Rams found this snappy rookie with the 177th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
It's been a quirky year for rookie pass catchers. Tight end Sam LaPorta is challenging for the TE1 spot, and Zay Flowers looks like a sure star. Jordan Addison and Rashee Rice have been reliable, Tank Dell was very good before a leg injury ended his year. Jayden Reed can play.
But there have been frustrating moments, too. Quentin Johnston might have been a first-round mistake. Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been part of a crowded and slightly underwhelming Seahawks offense. Marvin Mims Jr. teased us for weeks but never could do enough to get a Denver promotion. To be fair, Mims has made his share of rookie mistakes, too.
The LAR breakouts remind us that draft capital isn't the be-all and end-all. Williams was the 164th pick in the 2022 class, similar to where Nacua was taken last spring. No team is right with even the majority of its offensive evaluations, but if Sean McVay and Co. like a player, I'm at least going to take a second look.
And I know how important the September FAAB process often is. This year, there was a fantasy title, hiding in plain sight. You just needed to look west.
Other Week 17 Heroes
— It was no surprise to see mobile quarterbacks percolating to the top of the Week 17 leaderboard. To be fair, Lamar Jackson crushed Miami with his arm — five touchdown passes, 35 rushing yards. Looks like he'll lock up his second MVP before the ball drops in 2024. Hopefully, his second career playoff win isn't far behind. Jackson's 36.34 Yahoo points were easily tops for the position, with athletic maestros Justin Fields (313 total yards, two scores) and Kyler Murray (256 yards, three scores) settling in the 20s.
Josh Allen stands at QB5, and it was all from his legs — he only threw for 169 yards, but he ran 11 times for 44 yards and two scores. The Bills offense has been a strange watch since Joe Brady took over for Ken Dorsey.
— Arizona's stunning upset at Philadelphia had another hero: James Conner. He turned 27 touches into 133 yards and two scores. Volume and goal-line equity are wonderful things. If you kept the faith with Travis Etienne Jr. and De'Von Achane, you were rewarded. Etienne rushed for 102 yards and a couple of scores, and Achane was dynamic despite Miami's blowout loss, generating 137 total yards and a touchdown on 18 touches.
— Saturday night gave us a strong receiver push, with CeeDee Lamb (13-227-1) torching the Lions and Amon-Ra St. Brown (6-90-1) providing his usual drumbeat. They had name-brand company Sunday; Davante Adams was dominant (13-126-2) if you had the nerve to stick with him, DJ Moore (9-159-1) continues to click with Fields and Brandon Aiyuk (7-114-1) was part of San Francisco's expected get-back win at Washington.
Of course, there will always be plenty of receiver misses and disappointments; it's the ultimate boom/bust position. Tyreek Hill only posted a 6-76-0 line, not what we expect on 12 targets. He hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 13. The puzzling Stefon Diggs slump continued: four catches, 26 yards. His last spike came in Week 12; he's been a fantasy headache for two months. The Philadelphia passing touchdowns surprisingly went to Julio Jones (two) and Dallas Goedert (one), which meant A.J. Brown (4-53-0) and DeVonta Smith (3-30-0) came in well under their projections.
— Waiver-wire hawks were rewarded at tight end, where Juwan Johnson dominated at Tampa Bay (8-90-1) and Isaiah Likely picked up two touchdowns. It's also possible David Njoku (6-134-0) was scooped off the wire a few weeks back; he's looked like an All-Pro ever since Joe Flacco joined the Browns. Njoku would have had a much better game Thursday if the Jets fought back even a little bit.
As we send this piece to the editors, Travis Kelce is sitting on three targets, two catches, six yards. Other than Isiah Pacheco, no one on the Chiefs had a decent first half. Some things are too depressing to think about right now, but we'll have more Kansas City (and late-game thoughts) when I update this column later on Sunday.
I hope you get what you need. I hope you're planning a parade for the following week.

Jones had two receptions on as many targets for 34 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Cardinals.
Jones unofficially made his debut with the Eagles on Sunday after recording just seven receptions for 27 yards over his previous eight appearances with the club this season. The future Hall of Famer was in vintage form, catching touchdown passes of 12 and 22 yards respectively. Normally we could write off a two-score performance from a role player as an anomaly, but this situation may prove unqiue, and not just because it involves an active legend like Quintorris. The Eagles lost DeVonta Smith (foot) to injury in the fourth quarter and the star receiver was spotted using crutches after the game. The Eagles do have seeding to play for in Week 18, but the optics from Sunday's upset loss combined with the need to prepare for the playoffs could have the team in need of a starting wideout opposite AJ Brown against the Giants. Jones would likely slide into the starting lineup in that scenario, giving him a huge boost in fantasy value after carrying virtually none prior to Week 17.

By the end of this guide, you'll be ready to unleash the full potential of your gaming experience on Amazon Fire TV, equipped with the knowledge to sync your game controller effortlessly. So, let's dive in and get ready to elevate your gaming adventures on Amazon Fire TV!
Checking Compatibility
Before diving into the process of syncing your game controller with your Amazon Fire TV, it’s crucial to ensure that the controller you intend to use is compatible with the device. Amazon Fire TV supports a variety of game controllers, including both Amazon-branded controllers and third-party options. To determine compatibility, you can refer to the list of supported controllers provided by Amazon or check the product specifications of your specific game controller.
When assessing compatibility, consider the type of game controller you have, whether it’s a Bluetooth-enabled controller, a wired controller, or a specialized gaming accessory designed for Amazon Fire TV. Some game controllers may require additional setup or firmware updates to function seamlessly with Amazon Fire TV, so it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the specific requirements for each controller.
If you’re using an Amazon-branded game controller, such as the Amazon Fire TV Game Controller or the AmazonBasics Xbox-style controller, you can be confident in their compatibility with Amazon Fire TV. These controllers are designed to integrate seamlessly with the device, offering intuitive controls and responsive gameplay.
For third-party game controllers, such as those from well-known gaming accessory manufacturers, it’s advisable to check for any compatibility updates or instructions provided by the controller’s manufacturer. This ensures that you have the latest firmware and settings to optimize the controller’s performance with Amazon Fire TV.
By taking the time to verify compatibility, you can avoid potential issues during the syncing process and enjoy a smooth gaming experience without any unexpected hiccups. Once you’ve confirmed that your game controller is compatible with Amazon Fire TV, you’re ready to proceed to the next steps of connecting and syncing the controller, unlocking the full gaming potential of your Amazon Fire TV device.
Connecting the Game Controller
Once you’ve confirmed the compatibility of your game controller with Amazon Fire TV, the next step is to establish a physical connection between the controller and the device. The method of connecting the game controller may vary based on whether it’s a Bluetooth-enabled wireless controller or a wired controller. Let’s explore the steps for both scenarios:
Connecting a Bluetooth-Enabled Wireless Controller:
- Ensure that your game controller is in pairing mode. This typically involves holding down the pairing button or following the specific instructions provided with the controller.
- On your Amazon Fire TV, navigate to the “Settings” menu and select “Controllers and Bluetooth Devices.
- Choose “Game Controllers” and then select “Add New Game Controller.”
- Amazon Fire TV will begin searching for available Bluetooth devices. When your game controller appears in the list of available devices, select it to initiate the pairing process.
- Follow any on-screen prompts to complete the pairing process. Once successfully paired, your game controller is now connected to your Amazon Fire TV and ready for use.
Connecting a Wired Controller:
- For wired controllers, simply connect the controller to one of the available USB ports on your Amazon Fire TV device using a compatible USB cable.
- Once connected, your Amazon Fire TV should automatically detect the wired controller and configure it for use.
By following these steps, you can establish a solid connection between your game controller and Amazon Fire TV, setting the stage for the final step of syncing the controller for optimal performance. With the physical connection in place, you’re now ready to proceed to the next phase of the process—syncing the game controller with your Amazon Fire TV.
Syncing the Game Controller
After successfully connecting your game controller to your Amazon Fire TV, the final step is to sync the controller to ensure seamless functionality and responsiveness during gameplay. Syncing the game controller typically involves configuring it to communicate effectively with the Amazon Fire TV device, allowing for precise control and accurate input recognition. The process may vary slightly based on the type of game controller you’re using, so let’s explore the general steps for syncing:
- Wireless Controller Syncing: If you’re using a Bluetooth-enabled wireless controller, the syncing process may involve accessing the “Controllers and Bluetooth Devices” menu on your Amazon Fire TV and selecting the option to sync a new controller. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the syncing process, which may include pressing specific buttons on the controller to establish a secure connection with the device.
- Wired Controller Syncing: For wired controllers, the syncing process typically occurs automatically once the controller is connected to the Amazon Fire TV device via USB. The system recognizes the controller and configures it for immediate use, eliminating the need for manual syncing steps.
During the syncing process, it’s essential to ensure that the game controller is recognized by the Amazon Fire TV and that all buttons and inputs are functioning as expected. This may involve navigating through the device’s settings to verify the controller’s status and making any necessary adjustments to optimize its performance.
Once the syncing process is complete, you can test the game controller by navigating through the Amazon Fire TV interface and launching a game to experience firsthand how the controller responds to your input. If the controller is responsive and accurately translates your commands into on-screen actions, it’s successfully synced and ready for immersive gaming sessions.
By following the appropriate syncing procedures for your specific game controller, you can ensure a seamless and enjoyable gaming experience on Amazon Fire TV, leveraging the full capabilities of your chosen controller to enhance your gameplay in various genres and gaming scenarios.
Testing the Controller
With the game controller successfully connected and synced to your Amazon Fire TV, it’s time to put it to the test and ensure that it delivers the responsive and accurate performance you expect during gaming sessions. Testing the controller allows you to confirm that all buttons, triggers, and joysticks function as intended, providing you with precise control over your in-game actions. Here’s how you can effectively test your game controller:
- Navigation Test: Begin by navigating through the menus and interface of your Amazon Fire TV using the game controller. Verify that the directional inputs, menu navigation buttons, and other essential controls respond smoothly and accurately, allowing you to browse content, launch apps, and access settings without any issues.
- In-Game Testing: Launch a game that showcases various gameplay mechanics, such as movement, camera control, and action commands. Test the controller’s responsiveness during gameplay, ensuring that character movements, camera angles, and in-game actions correspond to your controller inputs without noticeable delays or inaccuracies.
- Button Mapping Verification: If your game controller features customizable button mapping or programmable functions, take the opportunity to verify that the assigned controls align with your preferred gaming style. Adjust button configurations if necessary to optimize your gaming experience based on your personal preferences.
- Multiplayer Compatibility (If Applicable): If you plan to engage in multiplayer gaming, consider testing the controller’s compatibility in a multiplayer setting to ensure seamless interactions with other players and consistent performance during competitive or cooperative gameplay.
During the testing phase, pay close attention to the controller’s feedback, including button responsiveness, analog stick precision, trigger sensitivity, and overall comfort during extended use. By thoroughly evaluating the controller’s performance in various scenarios, you can gain confidence in its capabilities and make any fine-tuned adjustments to enhance your gaming experience.
If you encounter any issues or inconsistencies during the testing process, refer to the troubleshooting resources provided by Amazon Fire TV or the game controller’s manufacturer to address potential concerns and optimize the controller’s performance. By addressing any issues proactively, you can ensure that your gaming sessions remain uninterrupted and enjoyable, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the captivating world of gaming on Amazon Fire TV.

Unveiling the Feud: Inside Ondo State’s Political Drama
Dr. Doyin Odebowale, a former Senior Special Assistant to the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, has shed light on the feud between Akeredolu and his successor, Governor Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa. Odebowale’s revelations offer a rare glimpse into the complex dynamics within the state’s political landscape and the tumultuous transition of power following Akeredolu’s death.
Origins of the Rift
The discord, according to Odebowale, started when a female aide to Akeredolu’s wife was discovered sharing confidential information about Akeredolu’s health with Aiyedatiwa. The aide, in an overt display of ambition, was also vying for the position of deputy governor, anticipating the unfortunate event of Akeredolu’s demise. This act of betrayal, as Odebowale terms it, led to an escalation in the first lady’s behavior.
Akeredolu’s Health and Aides’ Duplicity
Odebowale also criticized Akeredolu for mishandling his health, allowing his aides to overwork him, which led to rampant speculation about his potential death. He accused these aides of duplicity, blaming them for the deteriorating health of the late governor. Odebowale’s criticism paints a picture of a political structure riddled with deceit and manipulation.
Allegations and Revelations
Adding to the intrigue, Odebowale promised to disclose more details about Akeredolu’s son, Babajide, following the late governor’s burial. He suggested that if Babajide and his mother, the former First Lady, were proven guilty of theft, they should face imprisonment. The former assistant also targeted Rasaq Obe, a commissioner whose appointment was allegedly influenced by Babajide and his mother, challenging him to disclose any payments made for his position. These allegations hint at potential corruption and nepotism within the state’s political structure.
Odebowale’s intention to reveal more information after Akeredolu’s funeral indicates that this political drama is far from over. The unfolding saga is poised to unveil deeper issues within Ondo State’s political landscape, promising more revelations that could shake the state’s power structure.

Dylan’s Sunday Night Forecast
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) -Heading into the rest of your 2023, I’ll look for mostly clear skies as temps drop into the upper 30s to lower 40s through midnight. By tomorrow morning, I’ll look for starting temps in the mid to upper 30s for most.
However, it’ll likely feel a few degrees cooler due to the light winds expected around the area. We’re tracking the chance to see a few areas of dense fog move in from the SW overnight.
This will lead to harsh commuting conditions for anyone returning to work tomorrow. Be sure to give yourself a few extra minutes to travel. Luckily, the majority of this fog should lift out by mid to late morning.
Throughout the day, I’ll be tracking sunny to mostly sunny skies as high warm into the mid to lower 60s for most. Then, our next cold front should come in closer to sunset which could lead to a few light showers as it exits toward the coast.
Cooler air returns during the middle of next week with highs in the mid to upper 50s. We’ll see another chance of rain and breezy winds late Wednesday through the start of Thursday after a second cold front comes through with our next Gulf system.
Followed by the next big rain chance throughout the day on Saturday. There are still a lot of moving parts to the weather this week. So, be sure to stay updated on the forecast.

To be eligible for the XI, players had to have played 500 minutes of football or more and we only selected players in their correct positions. What do you make of our lineup?
Goalkeeper
Bernd Leno 7.2 (Fulham)
Whilst it is unlikely Bernd Leno would be the first name on many people's lists when talking about a world team of the year, the goalkeeper's Flashscore ratings have been remarkably consistent all year and according to the Premier League, he has only made one mistake leading to a goal in 2023. He is a highly respected shot-stopper and has been ever-reliable for a Fulham side who finished 10th in the Premier League last season and are on course for a mid-table finish once again.
Defenders
Trent Alexander-Arnold 7.6 (Liverpool)
The new inverted role which allows Trent Alexander-Arnold to move into midfield in attack has helped him rediscover his offensive qualities - what a joy he is to watch when he is in form. On the ball, Trent has it all; a perfect first touch, mesmeric long balls, set pieces and shots from range. He has scored twice and assisted three times in the Premier League this season but his overall performances have been nothing short of world-class.
Virgil van Dijk 7.5 (Liverpool)
Whilst the new Liverpool captain might have not reached the heights from two seasons ago when Liverpool were two games away from a historic quadruple, Virgil van Dijk has gotten better and better as the year has gone on and produced a defensive masterclass against Arsenal just before Christmas. In arguably the biggest game of the season so far, he and Konate were outstanding. Liverpool wouldn't be in a title race without their captain and he very much deserves a spot in this side.
Oliver Boscagli 7.5 (PSV)
Another team who are unbeaten in their domestic league are PSV, and Oliver Boscagli has been an integral part of a side that have conceded just six goals in the Eredivisie. PSV signed him for just two million pounds in 2019 from Nice and he has proven to be a bargain, playing week in, week out for a team very much going places.
Alejandro Grimaldo 7.8 (Bayer Leverkusen)
Although he does play as a wing-back for Xavi Alonso's enigmatic Leverkusen, Alejandro Grimaldo's stats this season (at just the midway point) are eye-catching. He has seven goals and six assists in the Bundesliga for a side who are currently top of the league and incredibly still unbeaten. Grimaldo is in the form of his life and it is hard to argue with his inclusion and impressive average rating.
Midfielders
Joey Veerman 8.3 (PSV)
The Dutch midfielder has been pulling the strings in a PSV side who have won every game this season in the Eredivisie, providing nine assists and three goals already. His form at the end of the last campaign led to him making his debut for the national team in June. His average rating of 8.3 (the highest of any player) highlights how consistently Joey Veerman has performed in 2023.
James Maddison 7.8 (Tottenham)
Despite being part of a Leicester side who were relegated last season, James Maddison was one of the few positives and he was rewarded for years of high-quality performances with a move to Tottenham. Although he may have spent the last couple of months on the sidelines, the England international played a pivotal part in Spurs' sensational start to the season which saw them top of the league. Maddison's creativity combined with his instant connection with Son Heung-Min made him an instant hit with the fans. His three goals and six assists in the Premier League before his injury in November had people singing his praises.
Jude Bellingham 8.0 (Real Madrid)
Where do you even start with someone playing so far beyond his years and seemingly reaching world-class heights at the age of just 20? Jude Bellingham's form since his move to Real Madrid has left many lost for words. In what can only be described as a genius move from Carlo Ancelotti, shifting Bellingham into the number 10 role has seen him score an incredible 13 goals in 16 La Liga appearances. If his form continues and Bellingham helps take either Real Madrid to Champions League glory or England to a Euros triumph, he would have to be in consideration for the Ballon d'Or next year.
Forwards
Mourad Batna 8.2 (Al Fateh)
Whilst many people would question the status of the Saudi Pro League as a global superpower, the influx of world-class players in the summer does make Mourad Batna's eight goals and eight assists for Al Fateh all the more impressive. Al Fateh are not one of the clubs who have spent big money on Europe's elite, but Batna's consistent creativity and goal threat have helped them to seventh in the league at the turn of the year.
Harry Kane 8.0 (Bayern Munich)
There is a strong argument for Harry Kane being the best on the planet right now. He is enjoying a remarkable individual season in which he is currently on course to break the Bundesliga record for most goals in a season. 21 goals and five assists in just 15 Bundesliga games speaks for itself. And this is on the back of 30 goals in the Premier League in his final season at Spurs - the man has scored goals for fun in 2023.
Leroy Sane 8.2 (Bayern Munich)
Since Thomas Tuchel's arrival in March, Leroy Sane has become a key player for Bayern Munich and he has formed an almost telepathic partnership with summer signing Kane this campaign. And when you factor in his eight goals and eight assists, you begin to understand why Tuchel has taken to him. Sane is rediscovering the form he showed in his final seasons at Manchester City which is supported by his impressive 8.2 average rating.

London [UK], June 21 : United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken, on Tuesday, met his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba in London during his visit to the UK and underscored Washington DC support for Kyiv's economic recovery.
In a statement, State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said, "Secretary of State Antony J Blinken met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba today in London on the margins of the Ukraine Recovery Conference. Secretary Blinken underscored the United States' support for Ukraine's economic recovery and the importance of continued close collaboration through the Multi-agency Donor Coordination Platform."
Blinken also noted the US commitment to working with the private sector to enable Ukraine's modernization and revitalization.
"They discussed the need for Ukraine to continue to implement reforms in order to establish an environment for investment and sustained economic growth. The Secretary briefed the Foreign Minister on his trip to the People's Republic of China and discussions with officials there about Russia's war in Ukraine. They also discussed the United States continued economic and energy support and security assistance for Ukraine," Miller added.
In a joint conference, according to the State Department, Blinken said that to support Ukraine, over 50 countries came together. The nations came ahead to "help Ukraine rebuild so much of what has been destroyed by the Russian aggression, to make sure it emerges from this aggression is not only successful on the battlefield but also successful in having a strong economy integrated with Europe, with investment coming in, and with all of the necessary efforts being made to strengthen its democracy and to help it be inviting place for business - all of that is what we're here to work on, to talk about."
"And I think it's a demonstration with more than 50 countries, Dmytro, of the powerful and enduring support for Ukraine, not only militarily but also economically and also in everything we're trying to do to build the strongest possible democracy. So we're very pleased to be part of this and very pleased that Ukraine and our friends here are hosting this conference," he added.
In London, the Secretary is expected to attend the Ukraine Recovery Conference to help mobilize international support from the public and private sectors to help Ukraine recover from Russia's brutal and ongoing attacks. While there, he also met with counterparts from the United Kingdom, Ukraine, and other partners and allies.

Sunday might have been the first look at next season's Denver Broncos offense.
It's not like they will have that many options in the offseason, if they do move on from Russell Wilson and eat an $85 million dead cap hit. The most likely solution for the Broncos is to stick it out with Jarrett Stidham for a season, and maybe draft a rookie. There won't be a lot of cap room to do much else.
Stidham wasn't too bad as he took over for Wilson at the end of a tumultuous week in Denver. He threw for 224 yards and didn't make any big mistakes in an ugly 16-9 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The Broncos were still eliminated from playoff contention due to other results in the AFC on Sunday.
The Broncos' spin that they pushed was that Wilson being benched for Stidham was just a football move, and that coach Sean Payton wanted to spark the offense. That's impossible to believe, but Stidham at least played well enough to get a win.
Broncos take a lead into halftime
The Broncos offense mostly struggled in the first half, aside from one play. Stidham was rolling right and it looked like he'd run for a first down, but he saw Lil'Jordan Humphrey crossing the field. He hit Humphrey on a short pass to about the 40 and then Humphrey did the rest, spinning and juking to avoid multiple Chargers defenders on the way to the end zone.

Stidham was 12 of 22 for 165 yards in the first half. It wasn't hard to see the difference in the Broncos' offensive approach with Stidham at quarterback. Wilson had fewer than 30 attempts in a game seven times this season. Payton wanted to play a ball control game with Wilson at quarterback.
With Stidham, things opened up a little bit. Perhaps that was to prove a point about the quarterback that was just benched.
Broncos hold lead into 4th quarter
In the second half, the Broncos' biggest play was a defensive pass interference. On fourth-and-1, Stidham threw to the end zone to heavily defended Jerry Jeudy. But Chargers safety Alohi Gilman was called for pass interference, keeping the drive alive and setting up the Broncos at the 1-yard line. A couple of penalties on the Broncos cost them a shot at the touchdown, but a field goal gave them a 10-point lead.
The Chargers missed a field goal after that, and their offense wasn't leading a comeback. Easton Stick, who has been forced into action due to Justin Herbert's season-ending injury, was not very good against the Broncos defense. The Chargers did cut the Broncos' lead to 16-9 late in the game and had a shot to recover a muffed onside kick, but Denver got on it and was able to run out the clock after that.
Denver's offense wasn't very good either, especially against a bad Chargers defense that allowed 63 points to the Las Vegas Raiders a couple weeks ago. Stidham finished with 224 yards, a touchdown and he didn't throw an interception. He wasn't bad, but it wasn't exactly the shot in the arm the Broncos were saying they were looking for with the move. Stidham was just better than Stick, and that was good enough for the win to keep the Broncos' season alive.
The performance also won't give the Broncos a ton of confidence if they do have to settle for Stidham next season. That conversation can start now, since the Broncos' playoff hopes have been dashed.

Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports that team officials fear that Phillips sustained a torn quadriceps during Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Rams.
Phillips was carted off the field after aggravating what was initially reported as a knee injury. Schultz notes that Phillips -- who has started all nine games for the Giants since being signed off the Eagles' practice squad Oct. 20 -- will have an MRI on Monday to confirm the injury and that surgery is a possibility.

Introduction
Welcome to the world of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), where precision, strategy, and split-second decision-making reign supreme. While most players opt for the traditional keyboard and mouse setup, there's a growing trend of using game controllers to navigate the intense gameplay of CS:GO. Embracing a game controller for CS:GO introduces a new dimension to your gaming experience, offering a more relaxed and console-like feel compared to the classic PC setup.
As you delve into the realm of using a game controller for CS:GO, it's essential to understand the intricacies of this unconventional approach. This guide aims to equip you with the knowledge and techniques required to seamlessly integrate a game controller into your CS:GO gameplay. From configuring your controller to mastering the controls, we'll explore the nuances and strategies that will empower you to wield a game controller with finesse in the adrenaline-pumping world of CS:GO.
Whether you're a seasoned CS:GO player looking for a fresh challenge or a newcomer seeking a different gaming experience, incorporating a game controller into your setup can breathe new life into your gameplay. So, grab your controller, buckle up, and get ready to embark on an exhilarating journey of mastering CS:GO with a game controller at your fingertips. Let's dive into the exciting realm of using a game controller for CS:GO and discover the endless possibilities it holds for enhancing your gaming experience.
Getting Started with a Game Controller
Before delving into the world of CS:GO with a game controller, it’s crucial to ensure that your controller is compatible with your system. Most modern game controllers, such as those designed for Xbox or PlayStation, are readily compatible with PCs, offering a seamless transition into the realm of CS:GO. Once you’ve confirmed compatibility, it’s time to connect your controller to your PC. Whether it’s through a wired USB connection or via Bluetooth, establishing a stable and responsive connection is paramount for a smooth gaming experience.
After successfully connecting your game controller, it’s advisable to explore the controller’s settings and customization options. Many modern controllers offer the flexibility to remap buttons, adjust sensitivity, and fine-tune various aspects to suit your preferences. Familiarizing yourself with these settings will empower you to tailor the controller to your unique play style, ultimately enhancing your performance in CS:GO.
Furthermore, it’s beneficial to acquaint yourself with the layout and functionality of the controller. Understanding the placement of buttons, triggers, and analog sticks will expedite your adaptation to using a game controller in CS:GO. Additionally, experimenting with the controller in other games or practice scenarios can aid in honing your proficiency before immersing yourself in the competitive landscape of CS:GO.
As you embark on this new gaming venture, remember that patience and practice are key. Adapting to a game controller for CS:GO may initially present challenges, but with perseverance and a willingness to learn, you’ll gradually acclimate to the nuances of controller-based gameplay. Embrace the learning process, and soon enough, you’ll find yourself maneuvering through the intense world of CS:GO with confidence and precision, all at the helm of your trusted game controller.
Configuring Your Game Controller for CS:GO
Customizing your game controller’s settings for optimal performance in CS:GO is a pivotal step in maximizing your gaming experience. To begin, launch CS:GO and navigate to the game’s settings menu. Look for the “Controller” or “Gamepad” section, where you can fine-tune various aspects to align the controller with your preferences and play style. This may include adjusting sensitivity, button mapping, and dead zone settings to ensure precise and responsive control during gameplay.
One essential aspect to consider is button mapping. CS:GO offers the flexibility to remap controller buttons, allowing you to assign specific functions to different buttons according to your preference. For instance, you can allocate grenade throwing, weapon switching, or crouching to specific buttons for quick and efficient access during intense combat scenarios. Experiment with different button configurations to find a setup that complements your gameplay and facilitates seamless control over your in-game actions.
Furthermore, sensitivity settings play a crucial role in tailoring the controller’s responsiveness to your movements. Adjusting the sensitivity of the analog sticks and triggers can significantly impact your aiming precision and overall maneuverability in CS:GO. Strike a balance that allows for swift, accurate movements while maintaining stability and control, ensuring that every flick and adjustment is executed with precision and finesse.
Dead zone settings are another vital consideration when configuring your game controller for CS:GO. The dead zone refers to the minimal input required to register movement on the analog sticks. Fine-tuning the dead zone ensures that your controller accurately interprets even the subtlest movements, preventing any lag or unresponsiveness during gameplay. By minimizing the dead zone, you can achieve heightened control and fluidity in your movements, granting you a competitive edge in the fast-paced world of CS:GO.
As you delve into the intricacies of configuring your game controller for CS:GO, remember that personalization is key. Continuously tweak and refine your settings based on your evolving gameplay style and preferences, allowing your controller to seamlessly adapt to your unique approach. With a meticulously configured game controller at your disposal, you’ll be primed to conquer the challenges of CS:GO with precision and finesse, all while reveling in the immersive experience of controller-based gameplay.
Mastering the Controls
Acclimating to the controls of CS:GO with a game controller entails a blend of practice, adaptability, and strategic finesse. As you embark on this journey, familiarize yourself with the controller’s layout and functionality, honing your muscle memory to execute precise movements and actions seamlessly. The analog sticks serve as your primary means of maneuvering and aiming, offering fluid and responsive control over your in-game movements. Practice adjusting the sensitivity of the sticks to find a balance that enables swift, accurate aiming while maintaining stability and control.
Mastering the art of precise aiming and shooting with a game controller in CS:GO demands a nuanced understanding of the controller’s triggers. The right trigger serves as the primary fire button, while the left trigger facilitates aiming down sights for enhanced accuracy. Delving into practice sessions and target drills can aid in refining your trigger control, allowing you to seamlessly transition between aiming, firing, and adjusting your stance with effortless precision.
Navigation and quick access to in-game functions are streamlined through the controller’s button layout. Familiarize yourself with the assigned functions of each button, optimizing their usage for swift weapon switching, grenade deployment, and tactical maneuvers. Efficient utilization of the controller’s buttons can significantly elevate your responsiveness and adaptability in the heat of intense combat scenarios, empowering you to execute strategic actions with seamless fluidity.
Furthermore, integrating the controller’s directional pad into your gameplay can enhance your tactical prowess. Assigning specific functions, such as quick weapon selection or utility deployment, to the directional pad can expedite your decision-making and in-game responsiveness, granting you a competitive edge in high-stakes engagements. Practice incorporating the directional pad into your gameplay to harness its potential for swift and decisive actions during critical moments.
As you endeavor to master the controls of CS:GO with a game controller, remember that proficiency is cultivated through consistent practice and adaptability. Embrace the learning curve, experiment with different control schemes, and refine your techniques based on your evolving gameplay experiences. With dedication and perseverance, you’ll gradually hone your controller mastery, seamlessly navigating the intense world of CS:GO with precision, agility, and strategic finesse.
Tips for Using a Game Controller in CS:GO
Embracing a game controller for CS:GO introduces a distinct approach to gameplay, and mastering this unconventional setup requires a strategic mindset and adaptability. To optimize your performance and elevate your gaming experience, consider the following tips tailored to using a game controller in the adrenaline-fueled world of CS:GO:
- Customize Your Controller Settings: Tailor the controller’s sensitivity, button mapping, and dead zone settings to align with your play style and preferences. Experiment with different configurations to find an optimal setup that enhances your precision and responsiveness during gameplay.
- Practice Tactical Movement: Utilize the analog sticks to master fluid movement and precise aiming. Engage in practice drills to refine your control over strafing, peeking, and maneuvering through intricate map layouts, honing your agility and tactical finesse.
- Refine Trigger Control: Perfect your trigger discipline for accurate shooting and seamless transitions between aiming down sights and firing. Practice adjusting trigger pressure to achieve controlled bursts and precise shots, maximizing your combat effectiveness in intense firefights.
- Utilize Button Assignments: Leverage the flexibility of button mapping to assign crucial in-game functions, such as grenade throwing, weapon switching, and crouching, to specific buttons for swift access during high-stakes encounters. Streamlining your actions through strategic button assignments can expedite your responsiveness and decision-making in critical moments.
- Engage in Target Practice: Dedicate time to target drills and aim training to refine your accuracy and muscle memory with the controller. Focusing on consistent and precise aiming techniques will bolster your combat proficiency and elevate your overall performance in CS:GO.
- Adapt and Evolve: Embrace a growth mindset and remain adaptable as you navigate the learning curve of using a game controller in CS:GO. Continuously refine your techniques, adapt to new strategies, and leverage your evolving proficiency to stay ahead of the competition.
By integrating these tips into your approach to using a game controller in CS:GO, you’ll embark on a journey of continuous improvement, honing your skills and mastering the art of controller-based gameplay. Embrace the challenges, celebrate the victories, and immerse yourself in the dynamic world of CS:GO, where precision, strategy, and controller finesse converge to redefine your gaming experience.

Varanasi BJP Expels Three Members Arrested in IIT-BHU Molestation Case
In a significant move, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Varanasi has expelled three members following their arrest in an alleged molestation case involving a student from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) at Banaras Hindu University (BHU). The expulsion was announced by the BJP’s Varanasi district chief, Hansraj Vishwakarma. However, the details regarding the former positions of the expelled members within the party were not disclosed.
Accused Tied to BJP
The three individuals, now ex-members of BJP, identified as Kunal Pandey, Anand alias Abhishek Chauhan, and Saksham Patel, were arrested by the Varanasi Police. This action was taken in response to a disturbing incident on November 2, where an IIT-BHU student was allegedly molested by bike-borne men on the university campus. The assault was reportedly recorded by the perpetrators, which subsequently ignited protests and demands for increased campus security from the IIT-BHU student community.
Opposition Accuses BJP of Granting Immunity
The BJP’s decision to expel the accused members came amid accusations from opposition parties. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav claimed the accused had ties to the BJP and were granted immunity by its leaders. This accusation added fuel to the already burning controversy, subsequently leading to the expulsion of the accused from the party.
Arrest and Judicial Custody
Following the arrests, a local court remanded the three accused to 14 days of judicial custody. This case has brought the issue of campus security into the spotlight, with students from IIT-BHU rallying to demand better measures to ensure their safety. The incident has also reignited the political debate on the relationship between political power and criminal elements, with opposition parties accusing the ruling BJP of shielding its members.
