By Mira Cheng, CNN (CNN) — The US Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning against buying or using South Moon, Rebright and FivFivGo eye drops because of a potential risk of infection. The agency said in an announcement Wednesday that these unapproved copycat products can be easily mistaken for Bausch + Lomb’s Lumify drops, which are approved to ease eye redness. FDA testing of South Moon eye drop samples showed that they were contaminated with Burkholderia cepacia complex, a type of bacteria that could cause antibiotic-resistant eye infections. Rebright testing was negative for contamination, and FivFivGo samples couldn’t be obtained, the FDA says, but it recommends that consumers not use these products. The tested products also lacked brimonidine tartrate, the active ingredient in Lumify. “South Moon, Rebright and FivFivGo eye drops are unapproved drugs and should not be available for sale in the U.S.,” the FDA said in the announcement. “They claim to treat eye conditions such as glaucoma, which is treated with prescription drugs or surgery.” The agency says the origins of these products remain unclear, but it continues to investigate. No adverse events have been reported specifically related to the South Moon, Rebright or FivFivGo products, the FDA said. However, there have been reports of possibly fake Lumify eye drops resulting in eye irritation, pain and infection. “Consumers can be confident that authentic Lumify redness reliever eye drops are made with the highest standards of safety and efficacy,” Bausch + Lomb said in an email to CNN. “We’re working closely with the FDA and our authorized retail partners to help protect individuals from copycat products.” The FDA advises consumers to discard these copycat products immediately and seek medical care if they have any signs or symptoms of an eye infection. Consumers should beware of online retailers selling copycat products and should buy eye products only from reputable retailers such as licensed pharmacies. Over the past year, the FDA has issued numerous warnings about contaminated eye drop products, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the use of some drops contaminated with a drug-resistant bacteria resulted in patients experiencing vision loss, surgical removal of eyes and even death. Health care professionals and consumers can report adverse events or quality problems related to eye drop products to the FDA’s MedWatch program.

Liverpool 4-1 Chelsea: A star is born as Conor Bradley scores one and makes two in superb rout of a familiarly shambolic and insipid Blues - Diogo Jota and Conor Bradley scored first-half goals for the hosts at Anfield - Dominik Szoboszlai and Luis Diaz added further goals after the break - Mourinho's Man United mission: Jose wants Old Trafford return to complete unfinished business - Listen to the It's All Kicking Off Transfer Week podcast In the days since he announced that he was leaving at the end of the season, it had become more and more obvious that Jurgen Klopp was craving an antidote to the preoccupation with his impending departure that had gripped English football. At Anfield on Wednesday night, he got a shot of it. It came in the shape of a 20-year-old kid called Conor Bradley, a young player wrapped in excitement and energy and skill and optimism and love for the game, a kid who could not more accurately personify the themes of renewal and hope that are coursing around Anfield this season if he tried. If the club’s supporters have spent much of the past few days glorying in Klopp’s past and celebrating his present, then Bradley represents a taste of the future that the manager is bequeathing to the fans on the red half of Merseyside who worship him. Liverpool were superb in this 4-1 rout of a familiarly shambolic and insipid Chelsea that re-established their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League. The whole team deserved praise. But there was something about Bradley, something about his youthful assurance, something about his brio and his enthusiasm, that made him stand out. Conor Bradley enjoyed a stunning evening, scoring and grabbing two assists Dominik Szoboszali (left) and Luis Diaz (right) both scored in emphatic Liverpool win Jurgen Klopp's trademark fist pumps were savoured even more than usual at Anfield Thiago Silva cut a dejected figure after full time as Chelsea were well beaten It was all crystallised five minutes before half-time when he galloped on to a pass just inside the Chelsea half and set off for goal. No one was going to catch him and when he was 20 yards out, he lashed a shot across Djordje Petrovic that fizzed and whirred past the Chelsea keeper’s despairing right hand. It felt like the moment when a star was born. Bradley celebrated with gusto. He had already kept Trent Alexander-Arnold, one of the most talented players in the league, out of the starting line-up and now, as he stood waiting for play to resume, the Kop broke into song. ‘There’s only one Conor Bradley,’ they yelled. If there has been much consternation at Liverpool since Klopp’s announcement, this match was a celebration. It was a celebration of everything Klopp has built here and the legacy he is leaving and the season that he is masterminding in this year of his leaving of Liverpool. Chelsea were simply overwhelmed. The previous seven meetings between these teams had ended in draws. In this dress rehearsal for the Carabao Cup Final, Liverpool were far, far too good for that to happen again this time. Klopp has spent much of the time since the announcement of his impending departure fending off questions about how the club and its players would fare without him at the helm. Fires, inevitably, have broken out here and there and Klopp has doused them energetically. ‘Write what you want,’ Klopp said at a press conference this week, after it had been reported that Virgil van Dijk, was unsure whether he would be part of the post-Klopp era on Merseyside. ‘This club is stable. The boys love this place. I know that for a fact.’ Van Dijk was quick to explode the narrative, too. ‘We want to achieve things that we dreamed of at the start of the season,’ he said. ‘Don't get it twisted, I'm fully committed to the club - I love each and every second that I am the captain.’ Van Dijk gathered his side in a tight circle just before kick-off and they stayed there for a while in a huddle that suggested the skipper was telling his that, for all the speculation and angst about the manager, this was about them now and their pursuit of another league title. It was time to get back to business. Both teams started as if they did not want to extend the sequence of draws. The match was all-action. Darwin Nunez attempted an audacious lob over Djordje Petrovic that the Chelsea keeper caught comfortably enough and then unleashed a thunderbolt of a shot that was hit so hard it came with its own vapour trail. Petrovic tipped that one on to the bar. Bradley was magnificent in every single department and the crowd were right behind him Diogo Jota put Liverpool in front after bundling his way through Chelsea's defence Luis Diaz put the icing on the cake for the Reds with the fourth goal for the hosts Darwin Nunez hit the woodwork four times as he failed to score but provided an assist Nunez was operating a shoot-on-sight policy and each of his efforts were hit with a venom which suggested he is recovering the confidence that was part of the package that made him such a prized asset when Liverpool bought him. Midway through the half, Nunez ran on to a superb, flighted pass from Ibrahima Konate and, taking the ball on his left foot this time, hit the ball across Petrovic. It was destined for the far corner but Petrovic got a despairing left hand to it as he dived and pushed it on to the outside of the post. Chelsea offered little but in the midst of all the Liverpool pressure, they fashioned one golden opportunity when Liverpool old boy Raheem Sterling, who was booed with every touch, laid the ball back into the path of Conor Gallagher. Gallagher eschewed the chance to shoot and tried to dribble past Van Dijk. He fell under Van Dijk’s challenge and Chelsea appealed for a penalty but referee Paul Tierney and VAR decided there was not enough contact to warrant the award of a spot kick. Midway through the half, Liverpool got the goal they deserved. Ben Chilwell lost the ball on the Chelsea left, Bradley broke forward and zipped a pass to Diogo Jota 25 yards out. Bradley was brilliant throughout in defence and in attack for the hosts Christopher Nkunku pulled a goal back for Chelsea but it was far too little, too late Jota was faced with Benoit Badiashile and Thiago Silva on the edge of the Chelsea box. Jota moved the ball from one foot to the other and ran right through the middle of them. He got a lucky rebound as he bundled his way through but Chelsea’s defending was nowhere near good enough and Jota ran on and smashed the ball past Petrovic. Chelsea were being overwhelmed. Enzo Fernandez, who was second to everything in midfield, was booked for a mistimed tackle on Curtis Jones, who was simply too quick for him. Chilwell was booked for a pathetic dive as he tried to dribble round Konate. Five minutes before half time, Anfield thrilled to its magic moment. Alexis Mac Allister won the ball in midfield and played it forward to Luiz Diaz. Diaz spread it wide to Bradley and he outpaced the Chelsea defence and then lashed his shot across Petrovic and into the far corner. Liverpool should have put the match beyond reach in the second minute of added time at the end of the first half. Van Dijk took a driven pass on his chest on the left of the Chelsea area and volleyed a cross towards the six-yard box. Jota got to it ahead of Badiashile, Badiashile stood on the top of his foot and Mr Tierney pointed to the spot. Mac Allister was primed to take it but gave way to Nunez. Nunez slammed the kick against the face of the left-hand post and it was hacked away to safety. Liverpool are still top of the Premier League and travel to face Arsenal next up Klopp loved what he saw from his side after a week of his impending departure dominating the headlines Mauricio Pochettino rang the changes at half time and brought on Malo Gusto, Christopher Nkunku and Mykhailo Mudryk to try to spark his side into life and the ploy nearly paid immediate dividends. Gusto broke down the right and whipped a fine low cross to the back post but even though Mudryk was in space with only Alisson to beat, he lifted his left foot shot high over the bar. Liverpool soon resumed their dominance. Bradley’s performance went from strength to strength, Mac Allister’s influence increased, too. Some of Liverpool’s play was breathtaking. One outrageous dummy from Dominik Szoboszlai set up Nunez for a stinging shot that was plucked out of the air by Petrovic. And then, midway through the half, Liverpool removed any last lingering doubt about the result. Van Dijk drilled a pinpoint pass out wide to Bradley on the right, Bradley delivered another cross hit with pace and precision and Szoboszlai rose to head it home in front of the Kop. Nkunku pulled a goal back for Chelsea 20 minutes from the end with a smart finish, Nunez crashed a header against the bar, Harvey Elliott saw his shot saved by the legs of Petrovic and then, ten minutes from the end, Diaz ghosted in at the back post to latch on to a pass from Nunez and forced the ball home for Liverpool’s fourth.	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13029753/Liverpool-Chelsea-Premier-League-Result.html	2024-01-31T23:16:26Z

Senate hearing with five social media CEOs was a missed opportunity - Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later. - Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later. - Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later. - Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later. - Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later. Five social media CEOs were sworn in on Wednesday for what could have been the most eventful children's online safety hearing yet. But even with some of tech's most powerful figures under oath, the four-hour hearing was anti-climactic. The Senate subpoenaed recently appointed X CEO Linda Yaccarino, Discord's Jason Citron and Snap's Evan Spiegel to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee, but Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg and TikTok's Shou Chew agreed to appear without the threat of legal consequence. Yaccarino, Citron and Spiegel all testified for the first time, while Chew faced the committee last year. But for Zuckerberg, this hearing was his eighth rodeo, and it wasn't an easy one. These CEOs certainly have a lot to answer for. Chat-based platforms Snap and Discord have come under fire for facilitating sextortion crimes and lethal drug dealing, while Meta has been implicated in a laundry list of high-stakes scandals regarding the mental health of teens on its platforms. Meanwhile, TikTok's algorithmic feed has been found to surface content related to self-harm and suicide, and X has become a breeding ground for white supremacy and extremism. Some Senators remarked that at today's hearing, the chamber was as packed as its ever been in their careers. "We have a large audience, the largest I've seen in this room today," stated Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), who has served on the Senate Judiciary Committee for over twenty years. Zuckerberg in particular drew immense ire, perhaps since Meta has such a long track record of safety failures. Earlier this month, TechCrunch reported on internal Meta documents that showed multiple instances of employees raising concerns about child exploitation on the company's messaging apps, to no avail; and the Wall Street Journal has published multiple reports about the negative impact of Instagram on teenage girls' mental health, among other concerning revelations. The Senate floor was packed with the families of children who have been victims of sexual exploitation, mental health issues and drug overdoses via social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram. In the most dramatic moment of the hearing, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) zeroed in on Zuckerberg, asking him to apologize to these families. "There's families of victims here today. Have you apologized to the victims? Would you like to do so now?" Hawley pressed, reminding Zuckerberg that he was on national television. In a rare moment for a Senate hearing, Zuckerberg stood up, turned around, and faced the audience to address them directly, while some parents held up photos of their deceased children in the air. "I'm sorry for everything you have all been through," Zuckerberg said. "No one should go through the things that your families have suffered. This is why we invest so much, and are going to continue doing industry-leading efforts to make sure that no one has to go through the types of things that your families have had to suffer." WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 31: Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, arrives to testify during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing at the Dirksen Senate Office Building on January 31, 2024 in Washington, DC. The committee heard testimony from the heads of the largest tech firms on the dangers of child sexual exploitation on social media. (Photo by Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images) Hawley proceeded by asking the CEO directly if he would set up a fund with his own money to pay the families of children who have been severely harmed from abuse they've experienced on Meta platforms. Zuckerberg started to tell the Senator that these issues are complicated, before he was cut off, and Hawley repeated the question. Both Zuckerberg and Hawley became increasingly agitated. "Well, Senator, we're doing an industry-leading effort, we're building AI tools that--" "Oh, nonsense. Your product is killing people. Will you personally commit to compensating the victims? You're a billionaire." Zuckerberg did not make that commitment. Legislative efforts As multiple Senators try to push legislation to regulate children's online safety, much of the questioning at today's hearing revolved around whether each CEO would support any given bill. Of all these bills, the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) seems to have the most momentum. Sponsored by Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), the bill would require social platforms to take further steps to protect children online. Though the bill has been revised, critics worry about its potential impact on internet privacy and access to information. For instance, the bill gives individual state attorneys general the right to constitute what internet content is appropriate for kids. Blackburn has already implied that KOSA could be used in this way to prevent children from accessing information about transgender people. Privacy advocates also call into question the potential for KOSA to jeopardize end-to-end encryption, and surveil and censor adults' experiences online. "Ultimately, no amendment will change the basic fact that KOSA’s duty of care turns what is meant to be a bill about child safety into a censorship bill that will harm the rights of both adult and minor users," the Electronic Frontiers Foundation wrote in a recent blog post. Senator Blumenthal asked all five CEOs if they would support KOSA. Snap's Evan Spiegel and X's Linda Yaccarino both voiced their support for the bill, while the CEOs from Meta, Discord and TikTok wavered. "There are parts of the act that we think are great," said Discord CEO Jason Citron, nodding toward the potential privacy issues. "We very much think that a national privacy standard would be great." As Spiegel affirmed Snap's support, Blumenthal added that Microsoft just announced it would support KOSA as well. But Chew would not pledge his support as the bill stands. "With some changes, we can support it," Chew said. When pressed further, he elaborated, "We're aware some groups have raised some concerns." Before he could finish his thought, Blumenthal said he would take that answer as a no. Chew is correct that KOSA has spurred controversy among various activist organizations. "Dozens of human rights, civil liberties, LGBTQ+, and racial justice groups oppose the reckless legislation being proposed in today’s hearing," Fight for the Future Director Evan Greer said in a statement to TechCrunch. "Hundreds of parents of transgender kids have specifically urged lawmakers to consider alternatives to KOSA." Zuckerberg was able to voice a bit more about these concerns before he was cut off. "These are nuanced things. I think that the basic spirit is right, and the basic ideas in it are right, and there are some ideas that I would debate how to best --" "Unfortunately, I don't think we can count on social media as a group or big tech to support this measure," Blumenthal said. Wasted time It's an immense opportunity to have five social media leaders sitting before you, legally obligated to answer your questions in truth. But, as happens in many Senate hearings, some Senators used their time to advance their own political agendas, or to naively bully panelists. When TikTok CEO Shou Chew testified before Congress last year, he was prodded on TikTok's relationship to its Chinese parent company ByteDance, and by extension, its connection (or lack-thereof) with the Chinese Community Party (CCP). While some reports have shown evidence of Chinese ByteDance employees accessing American TikTok data, there is no known evidence of that data being obtained by the CCP. Chew spoke about these issues last year in a five-hour hearing in front of many of these same senators. But they chose to continue questioning Chew about his own personal political allegiances. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AK) was particularly confrontational in his approach. "Have you ever been a member of the Chinese Community Party?" asked Cotton. "No, Senator, I'm Singaporean," replied Chew. "Have you ever been associated or affiliated with the Chinese Community Party?" Cotton asked. "No, Senator, I'm Singaporean," Chew repeated. Cotton's questions to Chew revolved more around his personal history than his role as CEO of a social media platform with over a billion users. Cotton acknowledged Chew lives in Singapore, but asked of what nation he is a citizen (Singapore). He also asked what nations Chew possesses a passport from (Singapore). When Cotton asked if Chew had ever applied for Chinese citizenship, he reminded the Senator that he served for two and a half years in the Singaporean military. While working at ByteDance, Chew lived in Beijing for five years, but he also lived in the United States while attending Harvard Business School, where he met his wife, who is American. Cotton, as well as Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), went as far as to ask Chew about what happened in Tiananmen Square, a topic that the Chinese government forbids its citizens from discussing. "You said earlier in response to your question [from Cruz] that what happened at Tiananmen Square in June of 1989 was a massive protest. Anything else happened in Tiananmen Square?" Cotton asked. "Yes, I think it's well documented," Chew replied. "There was a massacre." These pointed lines of questioning ate up significant chunks of time in a hearing that had the potential to yield helpful discussion about online safety. Instead, the hearing was a blown opportunity. By the end of the hearing, Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) summed up the situation quite well. "Every year, we have an annual flogging. And what materially has occurred over the last nine years?"	https://news.yahoo.com/senate-hearing-five-social-media-221935114.html	2024-01-31T23:16:28Z
Prior to Sunday’s AFC Championship showdown between the Chiefs and Ravens, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes had a pregame run in with the unlikeliest of foes — Baltimore kicker Justin Tucker. The consensus best kicker in the NFL (and likely in NFL history) decided to start his warmup right where Mahomes was getting ready on the goal line, and there were some shenanigans and trash talk, with Kelce tossing aside Tucker’s stuff to clear room for his quarterback. Travis Kelce told Justin Tucker he needed to move because their QB Patrick Mahomes had to warm up. So Kelce kicked his ball away and threw his helmet. 😂 pic.twitter.com/pFF0DC1yA7 — James Palmer (@JamesPalmerTV) January 28, 2024 It was mostly all in good fun, with a little bit of real tension mixed in there given the stakes of the game, and ultimately it was Mahomes and Kelce that got the last laugh in a 17-10 win to reach their fourth Super Bowl in five years. However, the star QB/TE duo didn’t really get to rub it in Tucker’s face the way they hoped, as they explained in an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday. After Mahomes popped in on Kelce’s interview, McAfee ribbed him about how Tucker was going to “beat his ass” which led to Kelce revealing that the two planned on earning a 15-yard taunting penalty if Tucker missed his late field goal attempt to cut the Baltimore deficit to one score. Justin Tucker was gonna beat your ass @PatrickMahomes 😂😂 #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/6MzL2KW6qd — Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) January 31, 2024 Tucker, as he almost always does, drilled the field goal, with Mahomes lamenting that he couldn’t let them have any fun, but it would’ve been truly incredible if Kelce and Mahomes and stormed out onto the field and picked up a flag for taunting the opposing kicker because of some pregame shenanigans.	https://uproxx.com/sports/travis-kelce-patrick-mahomes-justin-tucker-taunting-penalty-missed-field-goal-plan-video/	2024-01-31T23:16:30Z

The actor was hit with involuntary manslaughter, negligent use of a firearm, or, in the alternative, involuntary manslaughter without due caution or circumspection. Baldwin's legal team has demanded a speedy trial for the 65-year-old Hollywood star. "Mr. Baldwin is entitled to a fair and speedy disposition of the charges to minimize public vilification and suspicion and to avoid the hazards of proving his innocence that often arise after lengthy delays in a prosecution," documents obtained by Fox News Digital state. "When defense attorneys think the prosecution doesn't have a good case, they insist on a speedy trial to basically jam them up and force them to push the case to trial," former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani explained to Fox News Digital. "If they have a bad case as a prosecutor, then the defense will say, 'All right, let's go to trial,' because they know [the prosecution is] not going to have [the] witnesses and evidence ready," he added. "That's probably the case here. This is a weak case for the prosecution. LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

"A speedy trial may not be in Mr. Baldwin's best interests," Degroot said. "There is currently a trial scheduled for another defendant who was the ‘armorer’ on the location. What explanation she may have for the presence of live rounds, creating a ‘hot gun’ situation, would have an immediate impact and collateral effect on Mr. Baldwin's case." WATCH: ALEC BALDWIN'S FIRST WORDS TO DETECTIVES AFTER FATAL SHOOTING Baldwin has maintained he did not pull the trigger of the gun Oct. 21, 2021. "The trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger," Baldwin told George Stephanopoulos in an interview shortly after the fatal shooting. "No, no, no, no, I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger. Never." However, the FBI conducted an accidental-discharge test and determined the gun used in the fatal shooting of Hutchins "could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger," ABC News reported. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Baldwin was originally charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter on Jan. 31, 2023, and the charges were later dropped in April. At the time, the prosecution claimed "new facts" had been revealed that require further investigation. In their motion to dismiss, the special prosecutors noted the inquiry and forensic analysis required could not be completed before the start of Baldwin's scheduled preliminary hearing. "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's involuntary manslaughter trial is scheduled to begin in February. Baldwin has not been included on any witness list the prosecution has submitted at this point.	https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/alec-baldwin-pleads-not-guilty-in-rust-involuntary-manslaughter-charge	2024-01-31T23:16:30Z
Breaking News Alec Baldwin pleads not guilty to manslaughter following fatal shooting Alec Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter after a 2021 fatal shooting during a rehearsal on a movie set in New Mexico. The US actor also filed a waiver of arraignment opting to plead not guilty a day before a scheduled court appearance in the First Judicial District Court of Santa Fe, New Mexico, which will now not take place. In court documents, he said: "I plea not guilty to all of the charges in the complaint or citation." Baldwin, the lead actor and a co-producer on the Western movie Rust, was pointing a gun at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal on a movie set outside Santa Fe in October 2021 when the gun went off, killing her and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has said he pulled back the hammer, but not the trigger, and the gun fired. He was initially charged in January last year, but those charges were formally dismissed three months later. Earlier in January 2024, special prosecutors brought the case before a grand jury in Santa Fe, after receiving a new analysis of the gun, and Baldwin was re-charged. Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the film's armourer, has previously pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering, and is set to go on trial on February 21. More to follow...

- EUR/USD revisits 1.0800 post-FOMC event. - Inflation in Germany receded more than anticipated. - Next risk event for the pair will be the US labour market report. The bullish momentum in the US dollar sparked renewed selling momentum in EUR/USD, dragging it to the lower end of the weekly range near the 1.0800 region. Around the greenback, the Federal Reserve left no room for surprises and kept its Fed Funds Target Range (FFTR) unanimously unchanged at 5.25%-5.50% at its event on Wednesday. At his subsequent press conference, Chair J. Powell stated that decisions will continue to be made meeting by meeting and expressed the belief that the policy rate is likely at its peak. However, the greenback saw its upside pressure reinvigorated after Chair Powell said that an interest rate cut in March appears unlikely. Moving forward, investors’ debate is still expected to keep the door open to the first interest rate cut in March or May, with the probability of those outcomes at around 36% and 58%, respectively, according to FedWatch Tool by CME Group. With the FOMC out of the calendar, market participants should maintain the cautious approach ahead of the publication of the critical US Nonfarm Payrolls on February 2, which is expected to shed further light regarding the timing of a potential move on rates in March or May. EUR/USD daily chart EUR/USD short-term technical outlook If sellers get the upper hand, EUR/USD might revisit the 2024 bottom of 1.0795 (January 29), ahead of the temporary 100-day SMA at 1.0778, before falling to the December 2023 low of 1.0723. (December 8). The breach of this level should not get major support until the weekly low of 1.0495 (October 13, 2023), which comes before the October 2023 low of 1.0448 (October 3) and the round level of 1.0400. The pair is expected to turn bearish if it routinely clears the crucial 200-day SMA (1.0841). On the upside, spot must break over the weekly top of 1.0932 (January 24) to reach the next weekly high of 1.0998 (January 11), which reinforces the psychological 1.1000 level. Further advances from here might pave the door for a possible challenge of the December high of 1.1139. (December 28). The four-hour chart shows a bleak picture for the pair. South of 1.0795, 1.0723 is aligned before 1.0656. Bullish attempts, on the other side, may try to challenge 1.0932 before 1.0998. The MACD stays slightly negative, while the RSI manages to get some traction and poke at 48. Information on these pages contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Japan's aging population presents a host of challenging problems: Their medical treatment, elderly care, and disposal of their possessions after they pass on. Ihin seiri (disposal of personal belongings of the deceased) typically involves several days of heavy work, and it's common to entrust these jobs to firms that specialize in such services. Unfortunately, reports Spa (Jan 30), this can involve numerous pitfalls, as many such outfits are out to turn over a quick yen at the customer's expense. Last year, Chiyoko Noda (a pseudonym) was entrusted with cleaning up on behalf of a departed relative. "A man who said he was in the recycling business showed up, claiming to be a friend of the deceased, and telling me that he had 'made a promise that he'd take care of things.' He started carrying off appliances and metal objects. When I questioned his 'promise' and requested written proof, he told me it had all been arranged verbally. "I myself had no legal authority, so I had to let him have his way," Noda said. According to Takahiro Kamata, president of Fuchu City-based Aikom, it's unwise to accept a verbal estimate as many operators, preying on people's ignorance, are said to demand as much as five times the going market rate. These sleazy operators have other means of profiting. When sifting through the belongings, they keep an eye out for items likely to bring high prices upon resale. These include foreign brand wristwatches, antiques, perfume, precious metals and gemstones. According to Kamata, when they spot an item with resale value, they either won't offer to buy it, or they buy it for a fraction of the going rate. Or perhaps they don't have the discernment to assess items' value to begin with. Recycle stores on the other hand are good at spotting salable items, but don't handle cleanups. Spa warns that these wrecking crews might also engage in a number of illegal activities, which include theft of valuables from the site, illegal dumping of waste, overcharging for their services and selling off possessions. Most of these operators, moreover, possess low technical skills. While many claim to have "private qualifications" (which can be obtained for an outlay of a few tens of thousands of yen), they are unable to properly remove residual odors from the deceased's body fluids. Such unpleasant jobs are relegated to what is called "specialty cleaners," who undertake such tasks as cleaning up rooms where a person died, either alone or under questionable circumstances. They are also brought in to tackle those notorious gomi yashiki (rubbish houses) wherein resided compulsive collectors of clutter which often spilled over into the yard. One such specialist is Hisashi Sasaki, who heads a company called Mago no Te. Sasaki warns that shady operators have been known to charge 10 times the prices quoted in their advertisements. "They especially target females or men with weakened constitutions who can't manage the job themselves," he says. "Sometimes they promote their services by saying 'We'll resell any valuables we find, so income from that evens out the costs and helps us keep our prices lower.'" Many such operators illegally dump the trash into a river or in mountainous areas. In some cases the police are able to sift through the illegally discarded items and trace items to the former owner, afterwards confronting the customer (not the dumper) with illegal dumping. "These guys have no real skills, and aren't interested in doing a proper job," says Sasaki. "They might remove the trash and sweep the floor at most. But it takes special knowhow to remove residual odors, so the owner winds up having to order the job a second time, so it will be done properly." Entering the homes of the departed is creepy enough, but sometimes, workers have been known to encounter paranormal phenomena. While cleaning a room where the resident died from an accident, for example, the air might suddenly seem to become heavier, or a foul smell emanate from nearby. Aikom's Kamata says he knows of cases where music CDs inexplicably popped out from somewhere, glass windows suddenly cracked, or the TV switched on by itself. "Perhaps the spirit of the departed person is still lingering in the room, and wants to inform someone of their death," Kamata suggests. Spa's article ends with a sidebar advising ways to weed out the most obvious offenders. At the top of the places to be avoided are shapeshifting businesses that change their name every year, and those whose websites list nonexistent company addresses, or which post attractive photos of their "headquarters" that actually belong to other companies. © Japan Today	https://japantoday.com/category/features/kuchikomi/watch-out-for-the-human-vultures-who-prey-on-the-departed	2024-01-31T23:16:30Z

10 health care industries with the largest share of retirement-age workers Canva 10 health care industries with the largest share of retirement-age workers A younger nurse help secure an older surgeon’s mask. With each passing year, the United States is getting older—and not just on July 4. The U.S. is considered a rapidly aging nation, according to USAging, an organization that supports and advocates for older adults’ quality of life. By 2030, 1 in 5 Americans will be 65 or older. This demographic shift marks a historic population size of American elders. It also poses a challenge to many of the social service systems that have previously served much smaller populations of older adults. In particular, an aging America is a significant challenge for health care. As more people age, the demand for at-home long-term care has expanded tremendously. Older Americans prefer long-term care in their homes rather than relocating to nursing homes. Per a 2023 study conducted by the University of Pennsylvania’s Amanda Kreider, a postdoctoral researcher at the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, and Rachel Werner, a professor of medicine, the number of Medicaid-covered patients seeking home care increased by over 1.2 million people between 2008 and 2019, and rates during the COVID-19 pandemic suggest that number will only continue to grow. This quickly increasing demand has resulted in an industry dilemma, with fewer home care workers available to meet the growing need. America’s aging population not only results in an older patient population but an aging workforce. Many health care professionals are approaching retirement age, resulting in a shortage of crucial doctors, nurses, and administrative health staff. CNN Health reports that if the U.S. is to maintain current patient-to-provider ratios and function effectively, the industry needs to recruit and train 17,000 additional primary care practitioners, 12,000 dental health practitioners, and 8,200 mental health practitioners. With the current number of incoming health care professionals, the country is ill-equipped to serve its older adult population or face public health crises, like pandemics. There are various efforts underway to recruit more health care professionals. The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, led by Sen. Bernie Sanders, is working with historically Black universities to grow the health care workforce, specifically with Black and brown professionals, who are underrepresented among physicians. Additionally, 48 states now allow legally responsible relatives to serve as paid home caregivers to help meet the increased demand, up from 36 states in 2020. Payment rates have also increased to help retain existing health care workers. The health care industry itself has also pivoted internally to make work more accessible for older adult employees. Some health care systems have implemented shorter shifts with flexible schedules to accommodate workers who experience fatigue and burnout. Seasonal schedules, weekend-only work, and contract roles are becoming more common as well. In this way, hospitals and other health care systems are implementing creative solutions to retain long-tenured staff. To better understand the effect America’s aging has on health care, Incredible Health used data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to rank medical industries by their share of employees aged 65 and older. The analysis spans various medical sectors, including dentistry, nursing, physicians, residential care, chiropractors, and more. Read on to see which industries are most affected by an aging employee base and in need of new workers. David Pereiras // Shutterstock #10.

Julian Alvarez celebrated his birthday in style by leading Manchester City to a comfortable 3-1 victory over Burnley on Wednesday night. Pep Guardiola made six changes to his side but Alvarez started a 21st-consecutive league game and bagged two goals in quick succession, the second helped by an audacious Kevin De Bruyne assist from a free-kick. De Bruyne was making his first start in over five months and Erling Haaland came off the bench, with their returns potentially threatening Alvarez's place in future starting line-ups. But the Argentine showed he is worth keeping around as City continue to chase Liverpool in the title race.

By Denise Royal and Carlos Suarez, CNN (CNN) — Floridians can no longer elect to update or change their gender on Florida driver’s licenses, according to a memo sent to state officials by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and obtained by CNN. In the Friday memo, Robert Kynoch, deputy executive director of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, said previous policies that allowed residents to elect to change their gender “are not supported by statutory authority.” According to the memo, existing statutes dictate that Florida’s Department of Motor Vehicles can only issue a replacement license when a license or permit is “lost, stolen, or when there is a subsequent change in the licensee’s name, address or restrictions.” “Furthermore, misrepresenting one’s gender, understood as sex, on a driver license constitutes fraud … and subjects an offender to criminal and civil penalties, including cancellation, suspension, or revocation of his or her driver license,” the memo states. Critics and LGBTQ civil rights say the new license policy is just the latest example of targeted attacks against transgender residents in the state, which has seen new restrictions in recent years on access to gender-affirming treatments and bathrooms. Previous policies mirrored the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s recommendations and allowed a transgender person to take a certified doctor’s note to the DMV and update their license. However, a 2023 state statute does not list a doctor’s note as an approved document for a driver’s license application and only mentions gender once without providing a definition. In the memo, Kynoch wrote that a driver’s license is an identification document that assists public and private entities in establishing the identity of the person presenting the license. “Permitting an individual to alter his or her license to reflect an internal sense of gender role or identity, which is neither immutable nor objectively verifiable, undermines the purpose of an identification record and can frustrate the state’s ability to enforce its laws,” Kynoch wrote. The document also says, “the term ‘gender’… does not refer to a person’s internal sense of his or her gender role or identification, but has historically and commonly been understood as a synonym for ‘sex.’” The memo also defines one’s sex as being determined by “innate and immutable biological and genetic characteristics.” Brandon Wolf, senior director of political communications and national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign, said the new policy comes amid wider attacks on the legal recognition of transgender people that is happening in states across the country. “They are not all using the same policy levers, but they are aimed at removing transgender people from public society,” Wolf said in an email to CNN. He also pushed back on the memo’s limited definitions of sex and gender. “Sex has consistently been understood to mean more than a person’s reproductive organs and, even when looking at reproductive organs, sex is more complicated than a doctor’s quick assessment at birth.” Molly Best, a spokesperson for the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, said Dave Kerner, the department’s executive director, was tasked with ensuring policies and advisories conformed with the law and the department’s authority. “Expanding the Department’s authority to issue replacement licenses dependent on one’s internal sense of gender or sex identification is violative of the law and does not serve to enhance the security and reliability of Florida issued licenses and identification cards. The security, reliability, and accuracy of government issued credentials is paramount,” she said. Nathan Bruemmer, a transgender attorney and president of the LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus in Florida, said the new policy will affect “every aspect” of daily life for transgender people in Florida. “Florida is rescinding a process without notice after years and they are adding insult to injury by adding a civil and criminal penalty,” Bruemmer said in a statement to CNN. “Presenting inaccurate identification all too often becomes a trigger for various forms of abuse and discrimination. There is no question that this decision will fuel the anti-trans hostility that is already on the rise in Florida.” In a statement, Nadine Smith, executive director of Equality Florida, called the policy “cruel” and said the change should “alarm every Floridian.” “The DeSantis administration’s obsession with scapegoating transgender Floridians has escalated into an outrageous attack that further erodes freedom and liberty in our states,” Smith said. “These reckless and hateful policies are intended to make the transgender community feel unsafe and unwelcome in Florida and to bully them out of public life entirely.” The license policy change corresponds to a new bill making its way through the Florida legislature, HB 1639, which seeks to legally define the difference between the words “gender” and “sex” in the state. The bill would also require driver’s licenses to reflect a person’s sex at birth. Adrianna Tender, who is a member of the Board of Governors for the Human Rights Campaign, told CNN the organization is concerned about the wider impact the new policy will have on the mental health and wellbeing of transgender people in Florida. “The ability to change gender markers on official documents has been a crucial step towards inclusivity and understanding for transgender individuals,” Tender said. “The recognition of one’s gender through a simple change on a driver’s license serves as a powerful affirmation and can significantly reduce the negative emotional responses to gender-based mistreatment.” The-CNN-Wire ™ & © 2024 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Several companies announce January 2024 layoffs: Why are these employees getting laid off? Various levels and amounts of company layoffs are starting to commence across the U.S. due to reasons including lower revenues and organizational rearrangements. Numerous amounts of companies in industries such as technology, finance, shipping and travel are making significant changes to their respective staff. According to a survey shared by Business Insider, 38% of business leaders believe their own company will deal with layoffs this year — and half of them say their companies will have hiring freezes. UPS The shipping company announced 12,000 layoffs this week, reporting a decrease in shipping volume in both domestic and international markets from the previous year. Brian Hughes, the UPS director of financial and strategy communications, shared to USA Today that in 2023, dynamic economic conditions resulted in a $9 billion decline in revenue, year after year. “2023 was a unique, and quite candidly, difficult and disappointing year,” said by CEO Carol Tomé, per CNBC. “We experienced declines in volume, revenue and operating profits and all three of our business segments.” Hughes also shared to USA Today that the layoffs will occur around the world over the next several months, with 75% of them commencing in the first half of this year — although it wasn’t revealed which positions would be affected. Related American Airlines The U.S. based transportation company announced this week the layoff of 656 customer support employees. According to Fox Business, 335 employees in Phoenix and an additional 321 in Dallas-Fort Worth, who are part of the company’s various customer service groups, are to be laid off to reorganize the overall customer service experience and simplify it down to one source. Prior to this change, customers with multiple issues had to contact multiple groups to handle each issue individually. “As part of these updates, we are creating a new Customer Success team that will be dedicated to providing more convenient, elevated support to American Airlines customers with some of their most complex travel needs,” according to a statement shared by NBC 5 Dallas Fort-Worth, an NBC affiliate. PayPal On Tuesday, the financial tech company announced a roughly 9% cut of its workforce. Forbes reported that approximately 2,500 jobs from its near 30,000 employees will be removed to eliminate filled and non-filled positions. PayPal CEO Alex Chriss stated in a press release, “Specifically, across our organization, we need to drive more focus and efficiency, deploy automation, and consolidate our technology to reduce complexity and duplication.” According to CNBC, the affected employees will be notified by the end of the week. In addition, CNBC included news from the previous week of PayPal announcing plans to introduce AI features to its program, as Chriss calls it the “next chapter” for the company. eBay Last week, the e-commerce company stated it would be laying off 9%, or about 1,000 full-time jobs, from its workforce. CEO Jamie Iannone shared a letter to the company’s corporate blog that the move is to “scale back the number of contracts” because “overall headcount and expenses have outpaced the growth of our business.” As reported by CNBC, eBay shares went down about 4% last November, with Iannone stating, “Inflationary pressures and rising interest rates continue to weigh on consumer confidence and pressured demand for discretionary goods.” The news comes shortly after eBay was fined $3 million in court over incidents of harassment to a Massachusetts couple.	https://news.yahoo.com/several-companies-announce-january-2024-225522619.html	2024-01-31T23:16:35Z
Social media users ripped President Biden this week after the world leader re-posted and commented on a post from Sesame Street character Elmo. The Sesame Street puppet's post asked his more than 500,000 followers how they were feeling went viral on Monday. "Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?" the account asked, getting nearly 200 million views, and prompting thousands of responses on X, formerly known as Twitter, many from famous figures, and prominent organizations like NASA. Reacting to the massive social media splash the next day, the Elmo account shared an image of the puppet holding a stuffed toy and smiling for his followers, saying, "Wow! Elmo is glad he asked! Elmo learned that it is important to ask a friend how they are doing. Elmo will check in again soon, friends! Elmo loves you. #EmotionalWellBeing." TEXAS GOV. ABBOTT CLAIMS BIDEN IS IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW AS BORDER SURGE CONTINUES Apparently, Biden’s social media team caught wind of Elmo’s viral post and decided to have the president chime in with his own advice. Biden posted, "I know how hard it is some days to sweep the clouds away and get to sunnier days. Our friend Elmo is right: We have to be there for each other, offer our help to a neighbor in need, and above all else, ask for help when we need it. Even though it's hard, you're never alone." The president’s post got 22.2 million views in less than a day and also prompted mockery from many of his critics. Conservative columnist Tim Young quipped, "One puppet endorsing another puppet." Trump ally Roger Stone replied to Biden, writing, "Maybe the Democrats would be better off nominating Elmo instead of you?" BIDEN WALKS BACK BLAMING THE MEDIA FOR TRUMP LEADING IN THE POLLS: 'I'M TEASING, MAN' Conservative commentator Paul Szypula suggested Biden get back to solving the country’s crises instead of re-posting Elmo. "What Joe Biden really needs to do is stop talking to Sesame Street characters and close the US border. Our country needs to take care of itself first, otherwise we’ll never be able to help our neighbor. Biden is letting the United States be destroyed. This isn’t make believe," he said. Conservative podcast host Comfortably Smug made a similar point, posting, "Bro we lost three service members in a terrorist attack and the president is tweeting about sesame street." The Spectator contributing editor Stephen L. Miller quipped, "This is worse than anything Donald Trump ever tweeted." In another post, he added, "You're all outraged, but this is the exact thing Obama pulled for 8 years as a distraction and the media thought was cool." "Biden still hasn’t punished Iran for killing three American soldiers. Instead he’s tweeting about Elmo," Townhall.com contributor John Hasson wrote. Fox News contributor Joe Concha said, "Not a parody account. Really."	https://www.foxnews.com/media/biden-blasted-sharing-elmos-social-media-post-puppet-endorsing-another-puppet	2024-01-31T23:16:36Z
COCONUT GROVE, FLA. (WSVN) - An Italian catamaran built on the principles of inclusion kicked off a United States tour, and its first stop was Miami. Io Spirito di Stella dropped anchor in Coconut Grove on Wednesday. 7News cameras captured the crew as they stood and saluted while “The Star-Spangled Banner” played. The one-of-a-kind vessel was welcomed by Shake-A-Leg President Harry Horgan. For nearly 30 years, Shake-A-Leg in Coconut Grove has been giving people with disabilities the opportunity to get on the water. “This is an example, when you look at design and a team, that anything is possible,” said Horgan. The 56-foot, wheelchair accessible Spirito, a symbol of patriotism, pride and inclusivity, has started a two-year global journey with wounded veterans and people with disabilities on board. “We invite anyone with a disability who wants to see this boat to come on down. We’ll get them out on the water,” said Horgan. Long known for its contributions to help people with disabilities enjoy the water, Shake-A-Leg Miami has got a fleet of vessels accessible to people who are unable to walk or have other challenges. Horgan said the Italian catamaran is universally accessible. “So, no matter what your disabilities or abilities are, you can be able to get on it, you’re going to be able to sail it,” he said. Andrea Stella, the owner of the Spirito, described the special features that set his vessel apart. “In this catamaran, you can roll in or roll out with your wheelchair. You have an elevator that takes you in the aisles, where you have a bedroom and a restroom,” he said. When he built this catamaran, Stella said, there was nothing like it. Since then, it’s bringing big smiles to everyone. “Everybody finally feels that they can enjoy a moment by the sea, which is usually something that, once you’re in wheelchair, don’t think is going to be possible or easily accessible to do it,” said Pepe Accarpio, a friend of Stella. “That’s the big impact.” The goal of the trip around the world is to show new possibilities for all people with disabilities.

‘Will challege it in High Court,’ says Muslim side lawyer on Gyanvapi case verdict This comes as Varanasi court on Wednesday allowed Hindu devotees to offer prayers inside the 'Vyas Ka Tekhana' area inside the Gyanvapi mosque complex. Reacting to Varanasi court's order on Wednesday allowing Hindu devotees to offer prayers inside the 'Vyas Ka Tekhana' area inside the Gyanvapi mosque complex, Muslim side lawyer Akhlaq Ahmed said that they will approach the Allahabad High Court to challenge Varanasi Court's decision. Akhlaq Ahmed said, "We will approach the Allahabad High Court against the decision. The order has overlooked the Advocate Commissioner report of 2022, ASI's report, and the decision of 1937, which was in our favour. Hindu side has not placed any evidence that prayers were held before 1993. There is no such idol in the place." Advocate Merajuddin Siddiqui said he would go to higher courts regarding this order. READ \| 'Pillars from old temple...': What ASI survey said about Gyanvapi mosque cellars in Varanasi "I will not accept any such order. The District Magistrate and the District President are both working hand in glove. We will fight it legally. This is happening to get political advantage. The same approach is being adopted, which was done in the Babri Masjid case. Commissioner's report and ASI's report earlier said that nothing was inside. We are very unhappy with the decision," Merajuddin Siddiqui said. He further said that there is no evidence that prayers were held before 1993. This comes as Varanasi court on Wednesday allowed Hindu devotees to offer prayers inside the 'Vyas Ka Tekhana' area inside the Gyanvapi mosque complex. The court has asked the district administration to make the necessary arrangements in the next seven days. Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, representing the Hindu side, told ANI, "Puja will start within seven days. Everyone will have the right to perform Puja." "Hindu side is allowed to offer prayers at 'Vyas Ka Tekhana'. The District Administration will have to make arrangements within 7 days," Jain said. The mosque has four 'tahkhanas' (cellars) in the basement, of which one is still in the possession of the Vyas family, who used to live there. Vyas had petitioned that, as hereditary pujari, he be allowed to enter the tahkhana and resume pooja.	https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/will-challege-it-in-high-court-says-muslim-side-lawyer-on-gyanvapi-case-verdict-101706742058208.html	2024-01-31T23:16:37Z

- EUR/USD trades slightly above 1.0800 following Monday's decline. - Near-term technical outlook suggests that the bearish bias remains intact. - Disappointing growth figures from Germany and Euro area could further weigh on the Euro. EUR/USD started the week on the back foot and touched its lowest level since mid-December below 1.0800 in the early American session on Monday. Although the pair manages to hold above this level in the European morning on Tuesday, it risks losing it in case European data disappoint. Mixed comments from European Central Bank (ECB) officials weighed on the Euro on Monday. ECB Vice President Luis de Guindos said inflation risks were tilted to the downside and ECB policymaker Mario Centeno argued that the central bank should start cutting rate sooner than later, while avoiding abrupt moves. On a hawkish note, Governing Council member Peter Kazimir said that a rate cut in June is more probable than April but the exact timing is secondary to the decision's impact. Euro price today The table below shows the percentage change of Euro (EUR) against listed major currencies today. Euro was the weakest against the New Zealand Dollar. The heat map shows percentage changes of major currencies against each other. The base currency is picked from the left column, while the quote currency is picked from the top row. For example, if you pick the Euro from the left column and move along the horizontal line to the Japanese Yen, the percentage change displayed in the box will represent EUR (base)/JPY (quote). Later in the session, fourth-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data for Germany and the Eurozone will be watched closely by market participants. Investors expect the German economy to shrink by 0.2% on an annual basis and see the European economy stagnate in the same period. A bigger-than-forecast contraction in German GDP or a negative European GDP print could feed into expectations for an ECB rate reduction in April and force EUR/USD to stretch lower. In the second half of the day, JOLTS Job Openings data for December and the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index for January will be featured in the US economic docket. Investors, however, could refrain from taking large positions ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy announcements on Wednesday. Nevertheless, the US Dollar could stay resilient against its rivals unless risk flows start to dominate the action. EUR/USD Technical Analysis EUR/USD faces critical support at 1.0800 (Fibonacci 50% retracement of the latest uptrend). A daily close below this level could attract technical sellers and open the door for another leg lower toward 1.0740 (static level) and 1.0700 (Fibonacci 61.8% retracement). On the upside, 1.0850 (50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), descending trend line) aligns as first resistance ahead of 1.0900 (psychological level, 100-period SMA) and 1.0940 (200-period SMA).

Marcus Rashford hides away but Erik ten Hag is in the spotlight again... there is no protective screen from the glare reflecting off his errant Man United stars - Marcus Rashford had his car upgraded with windscreen fitted with privacy glass - His '12 hour bender' is latest example of an Erik ten Hag player misbehaving - Mourinho's Man United mission: Jose wants Old Trafford return to complete unfinished business - Listen to the It's All Kicking Off Transfer Week podcast Hidden behind privacy glass fitted to the windscreen of his Lamborghini Urus, Marcus Rashford arrived for training at Carrington on Wednesday lunchtime shielded from the full glare of waiting photographers. At least we had to assume that it was Rashford behind the wheel of the car that appeared to have been modernised with a tinted window since he drove into the training ground in the same vehicle for showdown talks on Monday morning. The player was invisible as flashes bounced off the mirror-like glass and he disappeared into the distance. Safe to say, this wasn’t the reflection Manchester United had in mind when they hoped Rashford would look back on his 12-hour tequila bender in Belfast last week and accept that he had fallen spectacularly short of the standards expected of a professional footballer. Sadly for his manager Erik ten Hag, there is no such protective screen. No shield from the media glare. Not for the first time in this job, Ten Hag sat down yesterday to face a firing squad armed with awkward questions about the conduct of one of his errant stars. For Rashford, read Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho. Marcus Rashford arrived at Carrington with a newly installed privacy windscreen Erik ten Hag is under the spotlight again for the behaviour of one of his stars Ten Hag trotted out the party line about Rashford taking responsibility and moving on — ‘case closed’ — but he was considerably more talkative when it came to the more general issue of discipline within his squad. ‘First of all, the players at this level need to manage themselves, that is what you can demand from the player,’ said Ten Hag. ‘The player has to know what is good and not good. ‘When you want to play top football, it demands a certain way of life — always.’ Is this a demand he needs to reiterate after Rashford popped up in various nightspots in Belfast last week before being declared too ill to train on Friday and face Newport County in the FA Cup on Sunday? ‘No, come on,’ replied the Dutchman. ‘We are talking about top football players. I don’t have to educate them any more. When you are playing for Manchester United, you should know. ‘In football, you need discipline on the pitch but also off the pitch. There is a line between — every player knows what is required.’ Ten Hag was asked why Rashford has been recalled to the squad for the trip to Wolves when Sancho was banished to train on his own for five months and subsequently packed off on loan to Borussia Dortmund. ‘We can sort out everything internally. Jadon chose to go public,’ he explained. True, Sancho challenged his manager on social media. But the furore surrounding Rashford’s shenanigans in Belfast have become pretty public too, as did him misleading his employers into believing it all took place on Wednesday and not, crucially, on Thursday before he was due back for training. Rashford's '12-hour tequila bender' has cast unwelcome light on his club The real difference is that, unlike Sancho, Rashford has held up his hands — even if ‘taking responsibility’ falls some way short of the apology his manager and team-mates deserve. Ten Hag is aware that the 26-year-old has joined the same public relations firm who represent Sancho, Ronaldo and Raphael Varane, another United player who has had his issues with the manager this season. Could that be seen as an aggressive move by the Rashford camp? ‘No, it has nothing to do with the relationship between me and Marcus,’ came the answer. ‘Maybe you have another question, otherwise we will pass it on.’ So we move on. To Molineux on Thursday night and to a fresh start for Rashford. United have had concerns about him for some time, and Ten Hag referenced the support system at the club available to any player who is having problems. ‘Of course, that is part of the job, to support your players,’ he said. ‘We also have people in this club who are helping the players on that. But when you are a player at Manchester United, you have to manage yourself.

Wife wanted in husband's murder still missing after 4 days, Oregon police say A wife wanted in her husband's murder has been missing from her Oregon home for four days – and Portland police are asking for the public's help to locate the woman. Analiesa Golde is wanted for second degree murder and "should be considered armed and dangerous," police said. Golde may be driving a 2015 burnt orange Toyota 4Runner, authorities said. Her husband, Phillip E. Pierce, 37, was found dead from a gunshot wound in his home on Friday, Jan. 26, after authorities were called for a wellness check around 8:45 a.m. that morning, police said. When they arrived, the home was locked and they had to force their way inside, police said. Police have asked the public to call 911 if Golde is spotted. Oregon has struggled with a wave of gun violence in recent years, according to data compiled by EveryStat, the statistics arm of gun-control advocacy organization EveryTown. From 2012 to 2021 gun homicide increased by 135% and in an average year 587 people die by gun violence. for more features.	https://www.cbsnews.com/news/analiesa-golde-wife-wanted-in-husbands-murder-missing-oregon/	2024-01-31T23:16:40Z
Is Byron Allen’s Paramount Bid the Real Deal? Is Byron Allen’s $30 billion bid (inclusive of debt) the real deal? Wall Street isn’t sure. Paramount stock ended Wednesday up 6.7 percent to $14.59, a sizable jump on a day when the overall market was down, but well below Allen’s bid for the company at more than $21 per share. It’s a sign the market is waiting to see Paramount’s next move. More from The Hollywood Reporter Inside the Top-Secret Plan to Lure Jon Stewart Back to 'The Daily Show' Lindsay Lohan "Very Hurt and Disappointed" Over New 'Mean Girls' Joke, Says Rep Byron Allen has been in the mix for many deals over the years: BET, ABC, TEGNA’s TV stations, Scripps TV stations, the Denver Broncos, the Washington Commanders. None of those deals, however, have come to fruition, though in many cases it was the sellers that got cold feet (see Bob Iger’s oscillating view on whether ABC is a “core” part of Disney’s business). Allen has gotten deals over the finish line, of course. He cut a $300 million deal for The Weather Channel in 2018; he’s been a buyer of local TV stations from Gray TV and others over the years; in 2022 he cut an opportunistic deal to buy the Black News Channel. As a media mogul with Murdochian ambitions, Allen has made no secret of his desire to grow through M&A. Over lunch of grilled fish and Mediterranean platters at Avra Restaraunt in midtown Manhattan last April (it’s his favorite spot in New York, order the baklava for dessert), Allen told an assembled crowd of media buyers and advertisers that he is not complacent. “We plan to buy more [local TV stations], we really like that. We’re going to buy more cable networks,” Allen said. “We’re very acquisitive. We’re going to buy whatever we can that makes sense. I will say we are truly aggressive when it comes to acquisitions. If it’s for sale — if it’s a lemonade stand — we want to buy it. It has to have a video monitor, it just can’t be lemonade, it has to have a video monitor so we can program that.” Allen loves linear TV at a time when it has fallen out of favor. Everyone else is investing in streaming, hoping to use linear cashflow to subsidize streaming. Warner Bros. Discovery, which held very early talks about a merger with Paramount, is one of those companies, though regulators would likely have issues with that merger if it was proposed. Netflix is always poking around at what’s available, but as co-CEO Ted Sarandos said on the company’s last earnings call: “We’re not interested in some of the big linear assets that may or may not be available.” “While investors were initially skeptical Allen’s offer can be financed, we think he wants the linear assets and there are ample buyers for the Studio/content,” Wells Fargo analyst Steven Cahall wrote Jan. 31. “This increases the probability something comes together, which will keep shares elevated.” Paramount has no shortage of linear cable channels that have been under-programmed for years, it also has a crown jewel in CBS, the home of the NFL, The Masters, CBS News and other valuable programming. The cashflow from those assets, combined with a judicious approach to cost management, could keep the business afloat, at least in theory. Cahall estimates that if Allen sells the Paramount studio and lot, as well as any other assets “that interested parties like Skydance likely want,” Allen could fetch some $15 billion, meaning that if he pursues sales, the financing would be more manageable. The prime Los Angeles real estate and the treasure trove of IP would likely find multiple bidders. “Investors have viewed Allen’s prior Media M&A offers as longer shots due to financing. However, those deals didn’t always have willing sellers,” Cahall adds, noting the BET and ABC offers. “NAI is in talks for a sale.” “We think Paramount should immediately take this deal, as it represents >50% premium to yesterday’s close, which is likely an acceptable premium for the majority of Paramount’s shareholders,” wrote KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst Brandon Nispel. But other analysts are skeptical, both of the offer, and of the potential to turn around a contracting linear TV business. “In placing a bid for Paramount, Mr. Allen is seeking control of a company with increasingly challenged fundamentals,” MoffettNathanson’s Robert Fishman wrote Jan. 31. “By assuming the totality of the company’s debt, he could run the risk of triggering change of control covenants. Mr. Allen reportedly would seek to sell Paramount’s studio, among other assets, and focus on running the company’s linear networks and streaming service, Paramount+, in a more efficient manner, to which we wish him the best of luck!” Allen, who launched his Hollywood career as a stand-up comic and still performs, has also shown a willingness to get creative with his dealmaking, and to act opportunistically when something arises. Just look at his moves in syndicated TV. Allen’s company has become the dominant player in the daytime court show genre after WarnerMedia canceled Judge Mathis and The People’s Court. Allen hired both Mathis and People’s Court star Marilyn Milian, recalling how when Mathis texted him about having Allen’s people reach out to his people “I called him up and I said Greg, I am my people.” Allen’s deal with Mathis was announced the same day news of his prior show’s cancelation leaked. Paramount is a multi-billion dollar company, not a syndicated TV series, but the door is open, and other interested parties are circling, including some that may not have interest in linear. It’s not clear who Allen’s partners are in the bid, or how buttoned-up the financing is. But his aspirations to become a media titan are well-known, and Paramount’s assets could be just the thing to push him over that line.

Big Tech’s top leadership faced brutal questioning from senators on both sides of the aisle Wednesday over the future of the industry’s regulation related to combating online child sexual exploitation. CEOs of Meta, TikTok, X, Snap and Discord testified on Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee in a hearing that centered around the question of what liability and responsibility the platforms should bear if it knowingly or unknowingly hosts harmful content, specifically targeting or exploiting minors. Behind the witnesses sat an audience full of family members who lost loved ones after they unknowingly bought fentanyl off social media and died, or were victims of eating disorders, self-harm and suicide because of harmful social media content. Lawmakers from both parties seemed to be marching to the beat of the same drum, emphasizing that they think congress should pass laws that would lift certain liability shields of the companies. "We live in an America in 2024 where there is no regulatory body dealing with the most profitable, biggest companies in the history of the world. They can't be sued. And there's not one law on the book that's meaningful for protecting the American consumer," ranking member Lindsey Graham, R- S.C. told Fox News Digital. The Judiciary Committee has already unanimously passed five bills that would place more safeguards on social media applications like the ability to opt-out of algorithms geared toward addicting users, and expand the federal civil cause of action for child victims to sue the platforms that promoted or facilitated exploitation. But the lawmakers pressed the CEOs on why their companies wouldn’t wholly support the measures. GRAHAM TELLS ZUCKERBERG, 'YOU HAVE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS,' AUDIENCE CHEERS "Instagram recently announced that it's going to restrict all teenagers from access to eating disorder material, suicidal ideation themed material, self-harm content. And that's fantastic. That's great. What's odd, what I'm trying to understand, is why it is that Instagram only restricts its access just to sexually explicit, but only for teens ages 13 to 15. Why not restricted for 16 and 17 year olds as well?," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah pressed. "Senator, my understanding is that we don't allow sexually explicit content on the service for people of any age," Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, Instagram’s parent company, answered. "How is that going?" Lee replied, prompting the audience to laugh. "Uh, you know, our prevalence metrics suggest that — I think it's 99% or so of the content that we remove. We're able to identify automatically using an AI system. So I think that our efforts in this, while they're not perfect, I think are industry leading," Zuckerberg said. Lina Nealon, vice president at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, said the hearing revealed "an astounding lack of true remorse from tech CEOs for the children who have been traumatized and have even died as a result of their inherently dangerous platforms." "The elephant in the room," she said, "was CDA Section 230, tech’s current liability shield that has protected tech, not those who have been victimized by sexual abuse and exploitation online." "Section 230 is the single greatest enabler of online sexual abuse and exploitation. We were encouraged that senators appear to recognize the harm Section 230 has enabled, and we hope to see this change," she said. GOP SENATOR URGES SCOTUS TO REIN IN BIG TECH'S CONTENT CENSORSHIP THAT DEFIES 'LOGIC' The bills that could possibly bring that change include the EARN IT Act, STOP CSAM Act, Preventing Child Sex Abuse Act, the Kids Online Safety Act; Project Safe Childhood Act, REPORT Act and the Child Safety Modernization Act. Senator Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., a co-sponsor of the Kids Online Safety Act told Fox News Digital following the hearing that in her view it "is clear that Big Tech is prioritizing profit over the wellbeing of our children." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP "These executives have failed to take action and are sitting idly by as our children are dying from fentanyl and being trafficked online," she said, adding that Congress should pass her bipartisan bill.	https://www.foxnews.com/politics/big-tech-faces-brutal-question-capitol-hill	2024-01-31T23:16:42Z

US Fed Reserve keeps interest rates unchanged for fourth time in a row The Fed confirmed in a statement that it was holding its benchmark lending rate steady at its 23-year high, between 5.25 and 5.50 percent. The US Federal Reserve voted Wednesday to leave interest rates unchanged for the fourth straight meeting, while indicating it was moving toward future cuts -- but probably not before May at the earliest. The Fed confirmed in a statement that it was holding its benchmark lending rate steady at its 23-year high, between 5.25 and 5.50 percent. The central bank has a dual mandate to keep both inflation and the unemployment rate low, and has been heavily focused at recent meetings on reining in inflation, with an eye on its long-term target of two percent. On Wednesday, it said the "risks to achieving its employment and inflation goals are moving into better balance," suggesting a greater emphasis on jobs going forward. But it added that the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is unlikely to start cutting interest rates "until it has gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably" toward two percent. "We believe that our policy rate is likely at its peak for this tightening cycle," Fed Chair Jerome Powell told reporters at a press conference after the rate decision. He added that 'almost everyone' on the 19-person FOMC was in favor of a cut in 2024, but that a move as soon as the next meeting in March was unlikely. "I don't think it's likely that the committee will reach a level of confidence by the time of the March meeting to identify March as the time to cut," he said. Powell's remarks "reinforce our long-standing view that the Fed will start cutting rates in May," EY chief economist Gregory Daco wrote in an investor note after the press conference. Stocks on Wall Street closed down sharply on Wednesday as traders digested the news. - Strong data - Following a post-pandemic surge in inflation, fueled further by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Fed rapidly hiked interest rates to slow rising prices -- with surprising success. The US central bank's favored inflation measure, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, has now fallen below an annual rate of 3.0 percent, while economic growth remained robust at 2.5 percent in 2023 and unemployment stayed close to historic lows. Fresh data published by ADP ahead of the Fed's rate decision Wednesday showed that private sector hiring has cooled more than expected this month, further underscoring the Fed's progress. "The economy is broadly normalizing, and so is the labor market," Powell told reporters. "Powell expressed a bit more confidence that inflation had slowed than we had expected at this meeting," Citi economists wrote in a note to clients after the meeting. "But by guiding away from March he also indicated that the Fed is not overly anxious to cut rates," they added. - 'Greater confidence' needed - In its December rate meeting, the Fed raised its economic outlook for the year ahead, and signaled it expects as many as three quarter-percentage-point rate cuts in 2024, sparking optimism in financial markets that the central bank could cut rates as soon as March. When the Fed lowers interest rates, US consumers get cheaper access to credit, meaning the cost of everything from car loans to mortgages falls, while company valuations see a boost. Heading into this meeting, traders and analysts were divided between those who believed the first rate cut would come in March, and those who expected the Fed to tread more cautiously and move in May instead. Futures traders, who have oscillated over a possible March cut in recent weeks, moved firmly away from such an eventuality, according to AFP analysis of CME Group data. They are much more confident of a cut the following meeting, assigning a greater-than-90 percent probability that the Fed will have a lower key lending rate by May 1 than it does now. "There was nothing in the post-meeting statement that warrants a change to our forecast for the first rate cut to occur in May," Oxford Economics chief US economist Ryan Sweet said in a note to clients Wednesday. Powell's guidance, "together with some potential bumpiness in upcoming core inflation readings, led us to leave our call for a first rate cut in June," the economists at Citi wrote. “But we would not be too surprised by a first cut in May.”	https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-fed-reserve-keeps-interest-rates-unchanged-for-fourth-time-in-a-row-101706740555224.html	2024-01-31T23:16:43Z
Student test scores are falling across the world. Is the pandemic to blame? Canva Student test scores are falling across the world. Is the pandemic to blame? Students in a row taking a test. If the COVID-19 pandemic is considered the “stress test for education systems,” much of the world failed, according to results from a global assessment showing the sharpest drop in test scores on record. HeyTutor, an in-person and online tutoring provider, looked at data from 2022’s Programme for International Student Assessment to see how students worldwide fared during the pandemic. Data shows that from 2018 to 2022, students’ scores fell by a record 15 points in math, and reading fell by twice the prior record, or by 10 points. In all three core subjects—math, science, and reading—scores fell in an equivalent of about one-half to three-quarters of a year of learning. Science, meanwhile, remained relatively stable. Prior to 2018, the assessment scores never changed more than five points in reading or four points in math. Education experts said privatization, high-stakes testing, and the need for more investment in schools, regardless of socioeconomic status, were to blame for less-than-stellar test scores. The pandemic is partly to blame for the lagging test scores. The data shows that many schools, teachers, and local governments were unprepared to transition into remote education, and learning outcomes were impacted as a result. In addition, students struggled when distracted by digital devices, making it harder to concentrate. The pandemic, however, can’t take all the blame for the changes, as indicated by varying student performance between subjects. For the past decade, reading and science scores have declined. From 2012 to 2022, nearly half (46%) of the participating nations had declining scores in two out of the three subjects, the study found. During that same period, only six countries/economies improved in at least two subjects. Reading and science scores peaked between 2009 and 2012 and started declining years before the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered school doors, according to the study. Another reason for the decline in scores is that developing nations such as Costa Rica, Indonesia, Morocco, and Romania started incorporating universal secondary education. Previously marginalized students are increasingly getting a formal education, but they tend to lag in knowledge, which impacts the score results. HeyTutor Test scores fell in all 3 core subjects A line chart showing scores in science, reading, and math falling between 2018 and 2022 in OECD countries on the Programme for International Student Asssessment. The PISA exam is the brainchild of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, an intergovernmental organization with 38 member countries. The OECD, based in France, works with governments, policymakers, and other stakeholders on key global issues. In the late ’90s, the OECD created the PISA after realizing that using years of schooling for examining education outcomes wasn’t an effective way of assessing education. Instead, the PISA exam aims to assess what students actually know and can do. Taken every three years, the test examines what 15-year-old students know in science, math, and reading and if they can apply that knowledge and those skills in real life. Only 15-year-olds are tested because globally, it’s the oldest age that most students receive a standard education. Last year, almost 700,000 students from 81 different countries and economies—ranging from Albania to Vietnam, Qatar, Colombia, Jamaica, and Canada—took the assessment. The test scores students from Level 1 to 6, with Level 2 students having a base level of proficiency and Level 6 scorers having the highest ability. The information gleaned from the PISA exams can be used worldwide to create better educational systems through collaboration and peer pressure, according to the OECD. HeyTutor The learning loss was worldwide A line chart showing math scores falling between 2018 and 2022 in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, and Italy on the Programme for International Assessment. Scores in Japan actually rose during this period. Global average math scores plummeted by approximately 15 points since 2018—the equivalent of three-fourths of a year of learning—but countries such as Germany, Iceland, and the Netherlands saw their PISA math scores drop by at least 25 points. America suffered a 13-point dip in average math scores. On average, 1 in 4 15-year-olds in OECD member countries are considered low performers in mathematics, science, and reading and struggle to do “basic algorithms and interpret simple texts,” the study found. And wealthy countries that are doing worse in math may have less parental involvement in schools than before. Meanwhile, school systems with increased parental engagement in their child’s learning showed improvement, or at least stability, with their math scores, according to PISA. School systems with top-tier digital resources, competitive staff and increased peer-to-peer tutoring also scored better on the exam, as well as those that focused on the well-being of students and their learning. The study’s results overall indicate that while educational investment is important, ensuring funding is targeted to actual needs may be a way to create better test results in the future, especially as schools and students recover from the pandemic’s impact on education.

- EUR/USD holds above 1.0800 in the European morning on Wednesday. - The Federal Reserve is expected to leave its policy settings unchanged. - Market positioning suggests that there is room for further USD strength in case of a hawkish Fed surprise. After fluctuating in a tight channel above 1.0800 on Tuesday, EUR/USD closed the day marginally higher. With the US Dollar (USD) staying resilient against its rivals early Wednesday, however, the pair is finding it difficult to extend its recovery. Slightly better-than-expected growth figures from the Eurozone area helped the Euro find a foothold on Tuesday. Additionally, European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde reiterated that they would need to be further into the disinflationary process before cutting the rates, supporting the currency. Euro price this week The table below shows the percentage change of Euro (EUR) against listed major currencies this week. Euro was the weakest against the New Zealand Dollar. The heat map shows percentage changes of major currencies against each other. The base currency is picked from the left column, while the quote currency is picked from the top row. For example, if you pick the Euro from the left column and move along the horizontal line to the Japanese Yen, the percentage change displayed in the box will represent EUR (base)/JPY (quote). Ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) policy announcements, the cautious market mood doesn't allow EUR/USD to gain traction. The Fed is widely expected to leave the policy rate unchanged at 5.25%-5.5% after the first meeting of the year. Investors will scrutinize the policy statement and Chairman Jerome Powell's comments to figure out the timing of the policy pivot. According to CME FedWatch Tool, markets are currently pricing in a 43% probability that the Fed will lower the interest rate by 25 basis points in March. In case Powell confirms that they will wait at least until May before considering a rate reduction, the market positioning suggests that the USD could gather strength. On the other hand, EUR/USD could turn north if Powell leaves the door open to a rate cut at the next meeting. EUR/USD Technical Analysis EUR/USD continues to trade below the descending trend line and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator on the 4-hour chart stays below 50, reflecting the near-term bearish bias. On the downside, 1.0800 (Fibonacci 50% retracement of the latest uptrend) aligns as critical support. If the USD rallies on a hawkish Fed surprise, the pair could continue to push lower toward 1.0740 (static level) and 1.0700 (Fibonacci 61.8% retracement). First resistance is located at 1.0850 (50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), descending trend line) before 1.0900 (psychological level, 100-period SMA) and 1.0940 (200-period SMA).

PLAYER RATINGS: Timo Werner enjoys his best game in a Tottenham shirt so far with TWO assists during win over Brentford, while Destiny Udogie puts in a Jeykll and Hyde display - Tottenham secured a 3-2 win over Brentford in an entertaining clash in London - Timo Werner stood out with two assists while Destiny Udogie had a mixed game - Will Sir Jim Ratcliffe dip into his pockets to sign players for Manchester United? It's All Kicking Off Transfer Week podcast Tottenham secured a nervy and hard-fought 3-2 win over Brentford on Wednesday evening as they battled back from a goal down against the Bees. Spurs started brightly but were caught out by a number of Brentford counter-attacks and finally one of them told when Neal Maupay poked home after Vicario had parried the ball to his feet. Tottenham had a sloppy first half but made a lightning start to the second as Destiny Udogie collected a Timo Werner pass inside the box before thumping home the equaliser. Werner provided his second assist of the game moments later to turn the game on its head as he squared a ball to the far post for substitute Brennan Johnson to tap home - before Richarlison made it three. Udogie's poor backpass then allowed Ivan Toney to pull one back to ensure a tense finish - but Ange Postecoglou's men held out to secure a much-needed win that moves them into the top four. Mail Sport's Matt Barlow was on hand at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to rate the Spurs players' performances. Tottenham secured a nervy win over Brentford after going a goal down on Wednesday night GUGLIEMO VICARIO - 7 Made a few smart stops to keep Brentford at bay. Unlucky to concede the two goals after poor mistakes to let the Bees in. PEDRO PORRO - 6 Not his attacking best but kept things solid defensively and made some good runs. Always looking to take shots on and be a threat. CRISTIAN ROMERO - 6.5 Made some timely interventions at crucial moments when Brentford were threatening. His presence is huge for Spurs. Cristian Romero was an important presence in defence and could do little about the two goals Spurs conceded MICKY VAN DE VEN - 6.5 Showed how important he is to sweep up danger during a handful of Brentford counter-attacks. Dragusin may struggle to break up his partnership with Romero. DESTINY UDOGIE - 7 A real Jekyl and Hyde performance from the left-back - who was pivotal to everything Spurs were doing going forward and took his goal well - but he was also at fault for both of Brentford's goals! Superb season for him but needs to cut out the mistakes. Superb going forward but suspect defensively - a real Jekyll and Hyde display from Udogie OLIVER SKIPP - 6 Had a very solid first half and kept things ticking in a difficult period for Spurs but Postecoglou decided to switch him for Hojbjerg to spark a momentum change. It felt harsh on the midfielder. RODRIGO BENTANCUR - 6 Like Skipp, he was also hooked at the break. A sub-par first period for the Uruguayan, who wasn't his usual self with some mis-timed passes. Posetcoglou's decision to bring on Brennan Johnson was well justified. DEJAN KULUSEVSKI - 7 Dangerous. He brought the energy with some superb marauding runs down that right flank and put in some great deliveries cutting onto his left foot. JAMES MADDISON - 6.5 No surprises he was a bit rusty in his first start in three months - especially in such a topsy-turvy game. But he was still able to have an impact with his creativity and passing to set the tempo. Needs more time before we see the best of him. There's no doubt Maddison is rusty after his first start in three months but he was still a threat TIMO WERNER - 8 His best game in a Tottenham shirt. Slow going in the first half but still caused problems with his pace. He massively stepped it up in the second before providing two assists for Udogie and Johnson. He now has as many assists in three games as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Bruno Fernandes have had all season. RICHARLISON - 7 The Brazilian continues to make strides up front while deputising for Son Heung-min. His hold up play was excellent and was a constant attacking threat before his well taken goal to make it 3-1. Timo Werner overcame a quiet first half to produce his best performance in a Spurs shirt so far - with two assists Richarlison continued his strong performances in front of goal in Son Heung-min's absence SUBS BRENNAN JOHNSON (45 for Bentancur) - 7 Just what you want from an attacking substitute. He scored with his first action of the second half and offered Spurs much needed impetus to change the game. PIERRE-EMILE HOJBJERG (45 for Skipp) - 7 Much improved from a poor display against Man City. Had a point to prove after coming on and put in a solid showing - sitting deep and breaking up play. RADU DRAGUSIN (88 for Maddison) - N/A JAMIE DONLEY (90+2 for Werner) - N/A Brennan Johnson provided great attacking impetus from the bench and took his goal well MANAGER ANGE POSTECOGLOU - 7.5 He had to rally the troops at half time and it paid dividends. Maddison said how the Australian told his players that once the first went in, the rest would follow and so it came true. The Australian is great at identifying a problem and motivating his players to take action. Ange Postecoglou had to rally the troops after going into the break 1-0 down - and it paid off as he inspired his side to score three second half goals	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13030397/PLAYER-RATINGS-Timo-Werner-enjoys-best-game-Tottenham-shirt-far-TWO-assists-win-Brentford-Destiny-Udogie-puts-Jeykll-Hyde-display.html	2024-01-31T23:16:46Z
Fani Willis and top prosecutor Nathan Wade subpoenaed to testify at hearing about relationship allegations Washington — Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor working on the sprawling racketeering case in Georgia against former President Donald Trump and others, have been subpoenaed to answer questions at a hearing next month about allegations the two were involved in an improper romantic relationship. The subpoenas were issued on behalf of Michael Roman, who was indicted alongside Trump in August and is seeking to have the charges against him dismissed. Roman served as director of election day operations for Trump's 2020 presidential campaign and faces seven counts related to what Fulton County prosecutors alleged was a scheme to overturn the results of Georgia's presidential election. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was the first to report the subpoenas. The district attorney's office declined to comment. The subpoenas to Wade and Willis were included in a filing in Fulton County Superior Court by Roman's attorney, which states that he intends to call them as witnesses during a hearing before Judge Scott McAfee on Feb. 15. The subpoenas to Willis and Wade were served Thursday, according to the filing. Ten others also received subpoenas, including several employees in the Fulton County District Attorney's Office. The hearing was set to address Roman's request to dismiss the charges against him on the grounds that the prosecution is "invalid and unconstitutional," as well as the allegations of misconduct between Willis and Wade. Willis hired Wade to assist with the case against Trump and his co-defendants, and Roman claimed that the two prosecutors benefited financially from the arrangement. The allegations about the purported relationship between Wade and Willis were raised in a filing earlier this month, though it did not include any evidence of an entanglement. Roman also claimed — without putting forth evidence — that Wade had been paid more than $650,000 by the district attorney's office and took Willis on vacation. In addition to seeking to have his charges tossed, Roman also wants Willis disqualified from the case. Separately, Willis had been set to testify in Wade's divorce proceedings on Wednesday, but the judge overseeing that case indicated on Tuesday that Wade and his estranged wife Jocelyn Wade had reached a temporary agreement to settle their differences. The judge said he would delay a ruling on whether Willis would have to testify eventually. Jocelyn Wade previously introduced evidence purporting to show that Nathan Wade had booked two sets of roundtrip flights for himself and Willis. McAfee, the judge presiding over the election case, gave Willis' office until Feb. 2 to respond to the allegations. Neither she nor Wade have publicly commented on Roman's claims, and the district attorney's office said it would do so in court filings. But during a speech at the Big Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, a historic Black church in Atlanta, earlier this month, Willis defended hiring Wade, saying he had "impeccable credentials." She did not directly address the allegations against them. Willis also noted she hired three outside lawyers to work on the case involving the 2020 election and paid them all the same rate. Last week, Trump joined Roman's effort to dismiss the indictment and disqualify Willis, the special prosecutors she hired, and her office. Roman was initially among a group of 18 co-defendants charged alongside Trump in the case involving the alleged efforts to overturn the results of the last presidential election. Four have since accepted plea deals. Roman pleaded not guilty to all counts.

These 11 Cases Are a Perfect Match for Samsung's Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra "Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." For the fifth year in a row, Samsung released its iconic Galaxy S smartphone in a trio of iterations — a compact Galaxy S24, a big-screen Galaxy S24+, and a range-topping Galaxy S24 Ultra, with the latter packing the biggest screen, the best camera setup, and, from 2022 onwards, a unique Galaxy Note-like silhouette and integrated S Pen stylus. In addition to the last-mentioned design, this year’s Ultra features cutting-edge specs and rocks a titanium frame that’s a first for a Samsung phone. The Ultra’s distinctive design, unique titanium build, and high price warrant a protective case that works under any condition, so I spent the week after its debut sifting through press releases, retailer listings, and trying out these products in real life. After that, I handpicked the best high-quality cases from OtterBox, ZAGG, Speck Products, and Spigen — to name a few leading makers — that are each tailor-made for the unique new Galaxy. Best Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Cases Best Overall: ZAGG Crystal Palace Case with Kickstand Best Budget: Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case Most Customizable: Casetify Impact Ring Stand Custom Case Best OtterBox: OtterBox Symmetry Series Case Most Versatile: Urban Armor Gear Plasma XTE Case What to Consider Design and Durability With the latest Ultra packing a 6.8-inch screen, a rugged case will make the device’s footprint and pocketability close to a small tablet's. As usual, the more protection such an accessory provides against damage, the bulkier it will be. Thankfully, advances in the design and materials used to make a case ensure that even a slim cover can easily meet military-grade durability standards and reliably guard the phone against damage from accidental drops. Still, if your work and daily routine will expose your phone to frequent (and heavy) tumbles (e.g., working outdoors, hiking, mounting it to a bike, or handing it over to entertain little ones), a rugged case by OtterBox or Pelican is worth the extra bulk. The multi-layer builds of these accessories will keep your phone looking like new even after falls, bumps, and thuds. About Magnetic Accessories Unlike their MagSafe-equipped iPhone rivals, Samsung Galaxy phones don’t support magnetic accessories out of the box. That said, third-party cases can bring similar functionality to the Galaxy S24 Ultra and make it compatible with chargers, battery packs, wallets, and car mounts. If you or the gift recipient are making the leap from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy and have accumulated MagSafe accessories over the years, look for a protective case that’s compatible with magnetic accessories. Just keep in mind that the charging speeds you’ll get will almost certainly be slower. I’d personally use a magnetic case for wallets and mounts. Other Bits to Consider The Galaxy S24 Ultra has a huge screen that’s great for watching videos and gaming with an external controller. If such activities are part of your or the prospective recipient’s routine, look for a case with a built-in kickstand. Having the feature on board makes a huge difference. As always, the materials used in the making of the protective case are important to consider, and so is the presence of antimicrobial qualities. We’re well into the 2020s, so I suggest you watch for such features as I do. Find the best case for your awesome new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra among these carefully scrutinized offerings. And rest assured that any of these picks doubles as a great gift for a Samsung Galaxy user you care about. Crystal Palace Case with Kickstand The ZAGG Crystal Palace case is our favorite for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra because it’s slim, tough, sustainably made, and perfect for showcasing the distinctive titanium build of the new phone. The case also has an integrated stand that makes it perfect for streaming video or gaming with an external controller on Ultra’s big screen. Its clear finish won’t yellow over time either, and its surface prevents bacteria growth. Graphene, a high-tech material used in electric vehicles and the aerospace industry, is the main reason why the ZAGG Crystal Palace case is slim yet uncompromisingly tough. Consider the Denali case with a kickstand from the same maker if you're looking for a solid color finish, or the ZAGG Santa Cruz if you want a colorful frame. Ultra Hybrid Case The Spigen Ultra Hybrid case is the best for protecting the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra on a tight budget. The sub-$20 case, like all products from the maker, offers design and durability that belie its price category. It consists of a clear (and tough) polycarbonate back and a frame with shock-absorbing Air Cushion corners. Despite its impulse-buy price, the Ultra Hybrid case won’t lose quality over time. You can order it in a black, beige, or clear frame color with a transparent back or in a Zero One guise, which will make your phone look transparent. The Thin Fit case from the same maker is also a great option to consider if you prefer a solid color finish. Presidio2 Grip Case The Speck Presidio2 Grip is the protective case to get if you are constantly fretting over accidentally dropping your expensive new Galaxy, especially while using it with one hand. Thanks to the maker’s signature inverted grips on its back, the cover makes the big phone much easier to handle on the move. Like all Speck cases, the Presidio2 Grip also offers exceptional protection against damage from drops and scratches. Speck used 50% recycled plastic in the making of the Presidio2 Grip. Available in black, blue, and grey, every cover has been treated with Microban. The last-mentioned feature will keep the case cleaner by reducing bacteria growth on its surface. Standing Grip Case Samsung has always launched a robust selection of protective cases alongside every new Galaxy phone. The Standing Grip case is our pick in the range for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. It features a sliding strap that will make the big phone easy to handle, as well as double as a viewing stand. When not in use, the grip integrates into the back of the silicon cover, giving it an understated look. Overall, the cover is not the toughest for the money, but its improved handling is worth it, especially for those who are constantly glued to their phone. Enzo Aramid Case The Enzo Aramid case by Spigen successfully merges high-tech design, tough build, exceptional tactility, and excellent value. Its aramid exterior with a carbon fiber finish and contrasting metal accents defies its price tag, and so does the attention to detail applied to its suede interior. The materials and finish make the cover a fantastic bargain. Even though it’s very slim, the Spigen Enzo Aramid provides excellent protection against damage from drops and scratches. The corners feature proprietary Air Cushion tech to absorb the shock caused by an accidental drop. Impact Ring Stand Custom Case This Casetify case is pricier than most rivals but totally worth investing in for the infinite customization options it offers. You can make the accessory your own by adding initials in various fonts and layouts, adorn it with eclectic styles and patterns, or pick one with a print made by an artist. The many customization options also make the cover a fantastic gift option for someone who dropped big money on the latest Ultra. You can choose between several Casetify cases before beginning the customization process, each offering a slim build, top-notch damage protection, and an eco-friendly material derived from recycled phone cases. The Impact Ring is my pick in the range because it offers superb camera protection and an integrated viewing stand. Symmetry Series Clear Case The OtterBox Symmetry Series is our favorite Galaxy S24 Ultra protective case from the legendary maker. The case is remarkably slim yet capable of providing the brand’s signature toughness. Its construction exceeds military-grade durability standards, so your Galaxy will be highly unlikely to suffer damage from accidental drops. Best of all, the OtterBox Symmetry Series is available in a variety of finishes — from clear to solid colors. The Commuter Series by OtterBox is a good option if you want a tougher case that’s not too bulky. The Defender Series, while hefty, is the brand’s toughest cover. Rugged Series Case This rugged case by Rokform is a great buy if you or the recipient plan to use your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with magnetic mounts and accessories. Its built-in magnets are incredibly strong, guaranteeing a reliable link between your phone and your magnetic accessories. And in case your phone tumbles, the cover will reliably safeguard it from damage. The cover has a decidedly utilitarian design with a carbon fiber-like finish. Rokfom offers a magnetic snap-on grip for the case, as well as sturdy motorcycle handlebar mounts. The last-mentioned accessories use a hardware link (the back of the case has a removable cover to access it), ensuring an even stronger hold. Plasma XTE Case Urban Armor Gear cases have consistently been synonymous with badass looks, a tough construction that can include fancy materials like carbon fiber, kevlar, and metal, and outstanding drop protection. This year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra case lineup is no exception, featuring multiple offerings at various price points. The Plasma XTE is an exciting new addition that, in addition to the usual standout design, rocks a retractable kickstand that works in landscape and portrait mode. The case has been certified to deliver military-grade drop protection, yet it’s impressively lightweight. For $10 more, UAG offers a Plasma XTE case with the same design that’s compatible with magnetic accessories. Pelican Voyager Case The Pelican Voyager case will showcase the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra while providing it with uncompromising levels of damage protection. According to its maker, the cover will help the titanium-clad Galaxy withstand drops from up to 18 feet — enough to meet military-grade durability standards. Its dual-layer build with USB-C port cover will make the phone bulkier but also virtually indestructible. We like that the Voyager case is crafted using recycled materials. Also available in black, the accessory comes bundled with a holster that doubles as a viewing stand. It has a lifetime warranty. Cryo Armor Case As usual, the range-topping Samsung Galaxy S phone is also an amazing mobile gaming rig, capable of delivering local and cloud-based gameplay with incredible quality. The Spigen Cryo Armor case is tailor-made for smartphone gameplay. Its multi-layer design includes silicone and graphite layers to help the powerful phone stay cool during heavy workloads. The case also has a textured back pattern that looks great, as well as grippy sides to ensure comfy handling in landscape mode. Like all Spigen cases, the Cryo Armor also brings reliable protection against damage. You can order the cover with blue or red accents.

FDA warns of contaminated copycat eye drops The Food and Drug Administration is warning the public against copycat eye drops because of the risk of infection. South Moon, Rebright and FivFivGo eye drops are offered in packaging that could easily be mistaken for Bausch + Lomb's Limify brand eye drops, an over-the-counter product approved for redness relief, the FDA said on Wednesday. The copycat products claim to address conditions like glaucoma, which is treated with prescription drugs or surgery, the agency noted. The FDA tested samples of South Moon and Rebright eye drops purchased online, finding the former to be tainted with burkholderia cepacia complex, a group of bacteria that could cause an antibiotic-resistant infection. While Rebright testing did not find contamination, the agency advised against its use. FDA testing also found South Moon and Rebright drops lacked brimonidine tartrate, the active ingredient in Limify. The agency was not able to obtain FivFivGo samples. The origin of the copycat products is not yet clear, but the federal agency continues to investigate. The FDA has received reports related to possibly fake Lumify including quality concerns, eye irritation, pain and infection, according to the agency, which advised eye drop users to only buy products from reputable retailers, like state-licensed pharmacies. The warning comes just months after an eye drop recall in which 28 products were pulled from store shelves due to safety concerns prompted by investigators finding unsanitary conditions at a manufacturing facility in India. That November recall was one of eight separate announcement related to eye drops last year. The spate of recalls involving eye drop products last year were linked to four deaths and multiple cases of vision loss. for more features.	https://www.cbsnews.com/news/food-and-drug-administration-fda-eye-drops-copy-cat/	2024-01-31T23:16:49Z
Newcastle Falcons' Steve Diamond hopes to make Kingston Park a fortress as he takes coaching reins Steve Diamond speaks to ITV Tyne Tees Sports Correspondent Simon O'Rourke Steve Diamond has vowed to correct Newcastle Falcons' home form after being appointed consultant director of rugby at Kingston Park. Falcons have endured a terrible Premiership campaign so far, losing all 12 of their matches leaving the club languishing 18 points adrift at the bottom of the league. The club's form saw head coach Alex Codling step away from daily duties and Diamond now takes charge after Micky Ward served as interim against Perpignan and Northampton. The 54-year-old has admitted there is little he can do to prevent the club from slipping into the relegation play-off at the end of the season but has made improving the club's home form his top priority. "There's not much I can do if I am perfectly honest," he told ITV Tyne Tees when asked about the Falcons' league position. "For me, it is about if I can make the squad competitive. We'd have to win four or five games to get off the bottom so that's probably unlikely. "But if you look at the medium-term goal of restructuring the squad, the management team and getting success next season that is probably further down the line. "Getting the consistency and the approach of how we do things. "Newcastle have a tradition of not losing many games up here and that seems to have gone by the wayside. So that's the first job in hand to be good at home." Diamond will have eight weeks to work with his new charges before their next fixture as the Premiership freezes for the Six Nations and he intends to put the time to good use. "The opportunity is untapped at the minute," he said. "We have agreed to put a plan in place that would hopefully see some growth on the performance side. "We have got a lot of time to put things right. I have eight weeks to have a good look at who wants to be here and who doesn't." Once he has been able to settle Falcons' poor form Diamond has set his sights high - seeking to get the club back into Europe. To do that he hopes to utilise the youth setups across the north to build a team capable of getting back into the top six. "The amount of kids who come through these pathways is incredible and we want to build the team around that," he explained. "A young northern team who has to have some senior help from abroad, ie four or five players who come in, but we can't go over budget. "My street cred and the reason why I get jobs like this comes from the fact that I am good at doing that. "To get into Europe would be like winning the competition and I think anyone out there would agree with me. That's going to be the target." In the meantime, the Diamond's focus is firmly on staying in the Premiership and he is extremely confident his team will do it. "If there is a relegation play-off, we will win it," he said. "Without a doubt." Want a quick and expert briefing on the biggest news stories?

By Eric Levenson, Lauren del Valle and Celina Tebor, CNN (CNN) — Jennifer Crumbley sent several messages criticizing her own parenting ability and discussing how the family’s firearm was secured shortly after her teenage son Ethan carried out a school shooting at his Michigan high school in November 2021, according to messages revealed in court Wednesday. “I failed as a parent. I failed miserably,” she wrote. Jennifer Crumbley wrote the messages as part of a lengthy conversation with Brian Meloche, a firefighter captain who testified he was in an extramarital romantic relationship with her at the time of the shooting. Jennifer Crumbley has pleaded not guilty to four counts of involuntary manslaughter for the deaths of the four students in the shooting at Oxford High School. Her husband, James Crumbley, is scheduled to go to trial on the same charges in early March. Prosecutors have accused her of gross negligence for disregarding the risks when she and her husband bought their son a gun four days before the shooting, even though he was struggling with his mental health and experiencing hallucinations. They also said his mother did not mention the gun or mental health issues to school officials in a meeting to discuss Ethan’s disturbing drawings just hours before the fatal shooting. Her attorney Shannon Smith argued in opening statements that the blame lay elsewhere: On her husband for purchasing the firearm and encouraging the hobby; on the school for failing to notify her about her son’s behavioral issues; and on Ethan himself, who actually pulled the trigger. The defense indicated during opening statements that Jennifer Crumbley would testify. Under oath Wednesday, Crumbley waived a pretrial ruling from the judge that had barred evidence about her extramarital affair from coming in at trial. Crumbley said she trusted her lawyer’s strategy change. “Her life is more important than her dignity in terms of – she had an affair, lots of people have affairs. I mean the bottom line is at the end of the day it doesn’t mean you know your kid is a school shooter,” Smith told the court. The discussion of the extramarital affair, as well as the defense’s implications that Meloche was threatened by police interrogators, led to a tense debate between the prosecution and the defense about what evidence can and cannot be allowed into the trial. “This is not a trial about her morality so I want to make sure that we stick to the elements of the case and what you’re required to prove, which is not that she’s a bad person,” Judge Cheryl Matthews said. “That’s not what we’re here about.” What Jennifer Crumbley wrote In several messages shown in court Wednesday, Jennifer Crumbley stated how the firearm used in the shooting was stored and secured. On the morning of the shooting, she said she had to go to her son’s school because she was worried he “was going to do something dumb,” Meloche testified. He responded by asking where her firearm was, and Jennifer said the gun was in her vehicle, he testified. However, other testimony has shown that the gun was in Ethan Crumbley’s backpack at school. Meloche also testified that he recalled telling Jennifer Crumbley to call 911 when she realized the gun was missing. He acknowledged that he deleted these and other messages from Facebook. A prosecutor told the jury that messages that were deleted by him and Crumbley could not be recovered by law enforcement. Crumbley also told Meloche how the gun was secured. “We had the string lock on it, it came with in the case,” she wrote, a reference to a cable lock that can be used to secure a firearm. However, the firearm used in the shooting was not actually secured with a cable lock, according to other testimony in the trial. “Everything was secured, not loaded, bullets stored away separately,” she added in another message. In a message two days after the shooting, she said she was aware they could be charged with involuntary manslaughter. “We’re on the run again. Helicopters not sure where to I’ll message you,” she wrote. The Crumbleys were supposed to attend an arraignment on December 3 after being charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, but they missed the arraignment, making them fugitives and setting off a search. They were apprehended in the early morning hours the next day in an art studio in a building about 40 miles from their home. Some of Jennifer Crumbley’s messages referred to her views of a pivotal meeting at the school with her son, husband and two school employees on the morning of November 30, 2021, hours before the shooting. The meeting stemmed from Ethan’s disturbing writings on a math worksheet, including the phrases “blood everywhere,” “my life is useless” and drawings of a gun and bullet. The school employees testified earlier this week that they recommended the parents take Ethan out of school and get immediate mental health assistance, but his parents declined and said they didn’t want to miss work. Ethan was allowed to return to class, and later that day he took a hidden gun out of his backpack and opened fire. However, Jennifer Crumbley described the meeting differently in her messages to Meloche and said “the system failed.” “They should of never blown it off and made it seem of no concern and never gave him the option to go back to class,” she wrote. “It could have been prevented.” “The whole conversation was very nonchalant.. oh here’s a list of counselors, but we don’t see him as a threat.. and we just agreed because he’s NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG!!” she wrote. On cross-examination Tuesday, former dean of students Nicholas Ejak testified the shooter had no history of school discipline, and that the drawings and other classroom incidents did not rise to the level of discipline. He also said he had training on how to identify threats in school and did not view Ethan’s actions as threatening. “There was no threat present at the time,” he said. However, on redirect, Ejak said he did not know and was not told by Jennifer Crumbley that Ethan had access to a firearm and had been having mental health issues in recent months.

EUR/USD Current price: 1.0846 - Germany reported the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices eased by more than anticipated in January. - The United States ADP survey showed the private sector added 107K new jobs in January, worse than expected. - EUR/USD is technically bearish and could accelerate south on a break through 1.0800. Financial markets are on pause this Wednesday, with EUR/USD changing hands around the 1.0840 level and confined to a tight intraday range, ahead of the United States (US) Federal Reserve’s (Fed) monetary policy announcement. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) surprised investors in December by anticipating three rate cuts for 2024. At the same time, however, policymakers were reluctant to provide clearer clues on the extent and timing of such rate cuts. Financial markets are pretty convinced the Fed will pull the trigger next March, delivering a 25 basis points (bps) rate cut, despite officials arduously trying to cool down such hopes. The FOMC is widely anticipated to maintain its monetary policy unchanged, with the focus on Chair Jerome Powell’s words. In the press conference, Powell will likely avoid giving markets what they want, that is, a certain date for the first rate cut. Meanwhile, data coming from the Eurozone failed to impress. Germany reported that Retail Sales were down 1.6% MoM in December, worse than anticipated, although the January Unemployment Rate improved in January to 5.8% from 5.9% previously. The country also released the preliminary estimate of the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which rose 3.1% YoY in January, easing from the previous 3.8%. Across the pond, the US published the ADP survey on private job creation, showing the country added 107K new positions in January, much worse than the 145K anticipated by market players. December figure was downwardly revised to 158K from 164K previously reported. With the Fed in the way, EUR/USD showed no reaction to the news. EUR/USD short-term technical outlook From a technical point of view, the EUR/USD pair is biased lower. The pair is seesawing around a flat 200 Simple Moving Average (SMA) in the daily chart, while the 20 SMA maintains its bearish slope above the current level, providing dynamic resistance at around 1.0900. At the same time, technical indicators head south within negative levels, although with uneven strength. In the near term, and according to the 4-hour chart, EUR/USD is neutral. The pair is currently developing around a flat 20 SMA, while the longer moving averages head lower far above the current level. Technical indicators, in the meantime, turned higher, but are currently struggling to overcome their midlines, limiting the bullish potential.

Nottingham Forest continue their pursuit of Sam Johnstone... with the club preparing a bid worth £15m for the Crystal Palace goalkeeper after having a loan offer rejected - Nottingham Forest preparing a bid for Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone - Nuno Espirito Santo's side previously had loan approach for the player rejected - Is there trouble in store for Nottingham Forest? Clubs are scared to death after Everton's punishment - Listen to the It's All Kicking Off Transfer Week podcast Nottingham Forest have resumed talks with Crystal Palace for goalkeeper Sam Johnstone after a loan offer was dismissed earlier this week. Forest are proposing a £15m deal for 30-year-old Johnstone who is keen on the move to boost his chances of a return to the England squad. Johnstone has won four England caps since making his senior international bow in 2021, but faces competition from the likes of Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson, Aaron Ramsdale and Nick Pope for a place in Gareth Southgate's squad at this summer's European Championships. The 30-year-old started the first 16 games of the season for Palace but endured a spell on the sidelines after suffering an injury against Liverpool in December. Despite having since returned to fitness, Henderson has marked his place as Roy Hodgson's No 1 at Selhurst Park, with Johnstone relegated to the bench. Nottingham Forest are proposing a £15m deal to sign Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone Johnstone is looking to return to the England set up ahead of this summer's European Championships Johnstone's last appearance for the Eagles came during their defeat against Everton in the FA Cup third-round replay at Goodison Park earlier this month. Forest have been in the market for a replacement goalkeeper with both Matt Turner and Odysseas Vlachodimos failing to impress in East Midlands. Former Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has emerged as a potential option, with the 37-year-old currently playing for Belgian giants Anderlecht. Nuno Espirito Santo's side also completed the loan signings of Gio Reyna from Borussia Dortmund and Sporting Lisbon forward Rodrigo Ribeiro, 18.	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13030443/Nottingham-Forest-continue-pursuit-Sam-Johnstone-club-preparing-bid-worth-15m-Crystal-Palace-goalkeeper.html	2024-01-31T23:16:52Z

Here’s Everything You Need To Know About Filing Your Taxes in 2024 Unfortunately for most of us, it's no longer the most wonderful time of the year, thanks to tax season. The whimsy of winter has faded into a cold, dark period marked by icy weather and the anxiety surrounding the task of filing taxes. There are so many questions of the tax variety that are probably running through your head: Like, when is Tax Day 2024? When is the deadline for filing taxes, and should I file my taxes early? When are state taxes due, and are there any deadline exemptions? Or even more worrisome: What if you accidentally missed the deadline to file taxes? Luckily, we're here to answer those questions so you can prepare for tax season ahead of time and save the stress for next year. Here, you'll not only find the answers to those questions but also leave feeling like somewhat of a pro! 💪 So, go ahead and reach for your daily planner to mark down all the dates you need to know. After you're done, you might as well celebrate with one of your favorite margarita recipes. You deserve it! And if you end up getting a nice return, might we suggest using it on one of these dreamy vacation spots? Alright, alright. We won't get too ahead of ourselves! 😂 Do you have all your forms handy? Without further ado, read on for everything we know about tax season in 2024, including the deadline for filing returns and what to do if you missed it. When is Tax Day in 2024? For most of the country, Tax Day falls on Monday, April 15, 2024 and it's the last day you can file federal taxes for the year. That goes for both individual people and companies that fall under the "small businesses" bracket. It's important to remember that this is for your potential tax return and the potential taxes you may owe based on your income in 2023. Additionally, you should note that your state income tax deadline may be different depending on where you live or work in the country. The IRS grants an extension to the yearly tax deadline for individuals residing or conducting business in regions affected by disasters and for residents in states observing local holidays. For example, residents in parts of Tennessee affected by severe storms and tornadoes in December now have until June 17 to file their taxes, and residents of Massachusetts and Maine have until April 17 because of state holidays. What if I missed the tax deadline? If you missed the tax deadline or if you think you may need more time, don't worry: an extension request form exists! All you need to do is fill it out and you will be given a grace period that lasts until October 15, 2024. There's no need to be embarrassed, either—because in 2022, over 19 million people filed for a tax extension (more than any other year). So, you're definitely not alone! 😂 What if I can't pay my bill in full by the deadline? If you end up owing the IRS and know that you probably need more time to pay them back, you can also apply for a payment plan. Keep in mind that interest rates apply via this option! Now, the good news: Most Americans can expect their tax refunds issued in less than 21 days. However, if you mailed your tax return, it could take four weeks or more to process it.

John Podesta replacing John Kerry as White House climate envoy Washington — John Podesta, a senior adviser to President Biden and longtime fixture in multiple Democratic administrations, is taking over the role of special presidential envoy for climate from John Kerry, the White House announced Wednesday. Kerry, 80, has served in that position since its creation at the beginning of the Biden administration. "We've made historic progress these last three years and I know that, in his new role as @POTUS Biden's Senior Advisor for International Climate Policy, John Podesta will continue to grow the momentum from Glasgow, Sharm el-Sheikh, and Dubai," Kerry wrote on X. Kerry served as secretary of state under former President Barack Obama after decades in the Senate. Podesta, 75, has served in top roles in the Clinton, Obama and now Biden administrations. "In three years, Secretary Kerry has tirelessly trekked around the world — bringing American climate leadership back from the brink and marshaling countries around the world to take historic action to confront the climate crisis," White House chief of staff Jeff Zients said in a statement announcing the move. "We need to keep meeting the gravity of this moment, and there is no one better than John Podesta to make sure we do." A White House official said Podesta will spend much of his time working on international climate policy in coordination with the State Department. He will also continue to oversee the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act, the official said, which included hundreds of billions of dollars to transition to clean energy sources. The Biden administration has prioritized its climate agenda, both domestically and internationally. A November assessment released by the administration highlighted what scientists have been saying for years — nowhere in the U.S. is safe from the impact of climate change. "Anyone who willfully denies the impact of climate change is condemning the American people to a very dangerous future," Mr. Biden said about the assessment at the time. "The impacts we're seeing are only going to get worse, more frequent, more ferocious, and more costly." Kerry hasn't said whether he hopes to pursue other ventures after leaving the White House. for more features.	https://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-podesta-climate-envoy-john-kerry-white-house/	2024-01-31T23:16:55Z

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A review of Kentucky’s juvenile justice system has found continuing use of force issues in its detention centers and a lack of progress on a previous state audit’s suggestions for improvement. The new report was released Wednesday by Kentucky Auditor Allison Ball. It says the state’s juvenile detention centers lack clear policies concerning the use of isolation cells, Tasers and pepper spray, and have significant staffing problems.

- EUR/USD manages to reclaim the area above 1.0800. - Euro area economy avoided a technical recession in Q4. - Investors’ focus now shift to the FOMC event on Wednesday. The ongoing consolidation in the US dollar seems to have reignited some bullish moves around EUR/USD, prompting it to advance past 1.0850 and leave behind a negative start of the week, which saw spot pierce the 1.0800 support for the first time since mid-December. Apart from the dynamics of the US dollar, market participants kept a prudent approach ahead of the upcoming FOMC meeting on January 31, where the Federal Reserve is widely anticipated to keep its Fed Funds Target Range (FFTR) unchanged at 5.25%–5.50%. However, investor discussions are shifting towards the timing of a potential rate cut, as recent data from key US fundamentals supports the view of a resilient economy. This is prompting speculation that the central bank may delay a potential rate reduction, likely in May from the previously considered March. According to CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, the probability of a rate cut in March has decreased to nearly 40%, while the likelihood of a cut in May is close to 55%. Other than the FOMC event, the publication of the US Nonfarm Payrolls towards the end of the week is also propping up the steady cautiousness among market participants as the week enters its equator. In the meantime, and looking at the ECB, President Lagarde's dovish communication seems to be restraining the price movement of the single currency. At the bank’s event last week, she reiterated the ECB's commitment to data dependence and emphasized her earlier statements on interest rates, including the potential for a rate cut in the summer. Lagarde highlighted downside risks to growth and expressed optimism that any wage increases would be absorbed by profits. She also noted a consensus among decision-makers that it is premature to discuss implementing rate cuts. Within the ECB, Board member Centeno surprised everybody on Monday by advocating for interest rate cuts sooner rather than later, deviating from his usual dovish stance. In the same vein, he argued that there were no adverse effects from higher wages and suggested that the ECB should support the region's economic growth. On the domestic data space, flash Q4 GDP figures in the broader euro area showed the bloc’s economy expanded marginally by 0.1% YoY and came in flat vs. the previous quarter. Despite the prints coming in above initial estimates, they are still quite far from being encouraging, to say the least. EUR/USD daily chart EUR/USD short-term technical outlook If sellers regain the upper hand, EUR/USD might revisit the 2024 low of 1.0795 (January 29), ahead of the temporary 100-day SMA at 1.0778 before dropping to the December 2023 low of 1.0723 (December 8). The breach of this level should not get significant support until the weekly low of 1.0495 (October 13, 2023), which precedes the October 2023 low of 1.0448 (October 3) and the round level of 1.0400. The pair's outlook is predicted to turn bearish if it consistently clears the important 200-day SMA (1.0841). On the upside, spot must break above the weekly peak of 1.0932 (January 24) in order to reach the next weekly high of 1.0998 (January 11), which reinforces the psychological 1.1000 region. Additional gains from here might pave the way for a potential test of the December high of 1.1139 (December 28). The four-hour chart paints a dismal picture for the pair. South of 1.0795, 1.0723 is aligned before 1.0656. Bullish attempts, on the other hand, may aim a challenge at 1.0932 before 1.0998. The MACD remains slightly negative, and the RSI managed to get some traction and poke with 48. Information on these pages contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

A man convicted of fatally shooting two Northern California women near the Las Vegas Strip almost eight years ago has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Omar Talley, 38, was sentenced Tuesday after a judge reprimanded him for his lack of remorse, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Talley’s defense attorney argued that his client had apologized to the victims’ families, but Talley interrupted him to again state that he only expressed his "condolences" and claimed he was not involved in the killings, the newspaper reported. LAS VEGAS JUDGE IN HOT WATER AFTER POSTING HOT TUB PIC WITH PUBLIC DEFENDERS Talley was convicted in October of two counts of murder with a deadly weapon and one count of attempted murder. Talley initially faced the death penalty in the case, but prosecutors withdrew the possibility of capital punishment before his trial began, court records show. He was accused of killing Melissa Yvette Mendoza and Jennifer Margarita Chicas, both 27, and wounding Chicas’ brother-in-law, Jerraud Jackson, in February 2016. The victims were in Las Vegas for a family celebration, relatives said. Jackson survived the shooting and testified against Talley. The victims were in a parking garage west of the Strip when an argument broke out with Talley and shots were fired, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said. Chicas and Mendoza, both from the San Francisco Bay area, died of gunshot wounds to the chest, police said. Talley told police he had been drinking and smoking marijuana the night of the shootings and remembered little of what happened, according to an arrest report.

By MARK ANDERSON AP Sports Writer LAS VEGAS (AP) — Fans have been wondering for days whether Taylor Swift will make it to the Super Bowl next week to cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs and, if so, how many times she’ll show up on TV during the game. They can speculate all they want, but they won’t be able to bet on it legally in the United States. Betting laws vary from state to state, but the general rule of thumb is that wagering is limited to what happens on the field. Wagers on Swift and other off-the-field events can be made with offshore sportsbooks. KIFI Local News 8 is committed to providing a forum for civil and constructive conversation.

EUR/USD Current price: 1.0843 - European data was mixed, as the German economy contracted in Q4. - Attention shifts to United States employment-related figures ahead of Fed, NFP. - EUR/USD recovered some ground, but bears hold the grip. The EUR/USD pair hovers around 1.0840, recovering some of the ground lost on Monday amid a better market mood weighing on the US Dollar. Wall Street closed the day in the green after its overseas counterparts hesitated for direction, with US indexes benefiting from earnings reports and a positive surprise from the United States (US) Treasury, which cut its quarterly borrowing estimate. As a result, government bond yields fell sharply, putting additional pressure on the USD demand. European data was mixed, as Germany confirmed the economy contracted in Q4. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) declined 0.3% in the three months to December, while the annualized reading came in at -0.2%, as expected. However, the Eurozone GDP in the same period was up 0.1% from a year earlier, better than the 0% expected. Additionally, the January Economic Sentiment Indicator posted 96.2 as expected, while Consumer Confidence in the same month contracted to -16.1. Market players will now turn their eyes to US data, as the country will release January Consumer Confidence and the JOLTS Job Openings report, relevant ahead of the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report scheduled for next Friday. In the meantime, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will announce its monetary policy decision on Wednesday. EUR/USD short-term technical outlook The daily chart for the EUR/USD pair shows it is battling with a directionless 200 Simple Moving Average (SMA) providing dynamic resistance in the current price zone. The 20 SMA, in the meantime, maintains its bearish slope well above the current level, suggesting limited buying interest. Finally, technical indicators remain within negative levels, with neutral-to-bearish slopes, supporting another leg south. In the near term, the ongoing advance seems a mere correction. The upside is being capped by a bearish 20 SMA, which accelerates its decline below the longer ones. At the same time, technical indicators tick north, but with limited strength and still below their midlines. Bears could lose interest if the pair accelerates through 1.0890, although price action will likely remain limited ahead of the Fed’s decision.

A harness racing trainer in upstate New York was accused of striking a horse and fracturing its skull, requiring the animal to be euthanized, authorities said. Frederick Bourgault, 26, was arraigned Tuesday on two charges in connection with the death of a race horse named Finish Line last July at the Pine Bush Training Facility in Crawford, about 60 miles north of New York City, according to Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler.

- The Federal Reserve has left interest rates unchanged and removed language about further hikes. - Officials signaled rate cuts are not imminent, a hawkish twist. - Investors are set to focus on data showing a slowdown, reversing the initial response. Markets do not like uncertainty – or the lack of confidence, which the Federal Reserve (Fed) has expressed. A deeper look at the bank's pushback reveals its weakness and could trigger a reversal. The Fed removed the part indicating further rate hikes may be needed, but that was obvious for months. Its last tightening came in July, and the December decision already included a major downgrade in expectations for further hikes. The "dot plot" indicated more cuts than they had previously forecast. Yet removing the open door to hiking was balanced by a pushback against immediate hikes. Here is the critical passage: The Committee does not expect it will be appropriate to reduce the target range until it has gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2 percent The understatement is that officials cannot be confident that inflation is falling. Is this the case? According to the Fed's preferred inflation calculation, PCE, headline price rises slowed to 2.6%, while Core PCE is at 2.9%. This is within striking distance of the bank's goal of 2%. More importantly, the Fed reiterates that it is data dependent, and there is plenty of data until March 20 – the next FOMC meeting. Another retreat in inflation may be sufficient to justify a rate cut. Moreover, the labor market is cooling, and if it suffers a cold, the Fed would slash rates instantly. Rising unemployment is undesirable. I expect markets to act earlier. The pushback against cutting rates in March is only a slap on the wrist – not fully forced. The bank cannot commit to leaving rates unchanged in seven weeks from now, as anything and everything can change. All in all, markets respect the bank's hawkishness, but it will soon find the confidence Powell seems to lack – inflation and employment are cooling. That means expectations for lower rates, thus sending stocks and Gold back up, and the US Dollar down.

BERLIN (AP) — A union has called on security staff at most of Germany’s major airports to stage a one-day strike on Thursday as it steps up pressure on employers in a pay dispute. The ver.di union announced the strikes on Tuesday. It said the strike will affect Germany’s busiest airport, Frankfurt, as well as Hamburg, Bremen, Hannover, Berlin, Cologne, Duesseldorf, Leipzig, Dresden, Erfurt and Stuttgart. Munich airport, Germany’s second-busiest, isn’t affected. Three rounds of talks so far haven’t produced a settlement for some 25,000 security workers. Ver.di is seeking a raise of 2.80 euros per hour ($3.03) for all employees and calling for bonuses for overtime work to kick in earlier.

Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Watford: Owls sit five points adrift of Championship safety after wasteful display in stalemate - Sheffield Wednesday remain in 23rd place following stalemate at home - Mourinho's Man United mission: Jose wants Old Trafford return to complete unfinished business - Listen to the It's All Kicking Off Transfer Week podcast Sheffield Wednesday's winless run extended to three matches as they recorded a 0-0 draw at home to Watford in the Championship. The Owls sit five points from safety after failing to take a number of chances at Hillsborough, while the visitors' fourth draw in five league games left them three points off the play-off places. Both sides looked eager to return to winning ways in an entertaining first period in which they each hit the woodwork, firstly the visitors through Matheus Martins before Ike Ugbo rattled the inside of the post for Wednesday. The hosts went within inches of a breakthrough in the second half when Di'Shon Bernard was denied by Ben Hamer, but they could not find a winner. Watford looked the more dangerous through the early stages down the right side and Vakoun Bayo's deflected goal-bound effort tested the concentration of James Beadle. Barry Bannan takes a free-kick for Sheffield Wednesday in their 0-0 draw with Watford The Yorkshire side settled into the contest and skipper Barry Bannan let rip with a rocket from 25 yards which was tipped behind by a diving Hamer. Watford were denied an opener by the frame of the goal on the half-hour mark. After Tom Dele-Bashiru was brought down just outside the box, Martins' central free-kick deflected off the wall and Beadle could only watch on as the ball hit a post. Watford were knocking on the door and should have taken the lead when Dele-Bashiru slipped through Bayo, he passed beyond the onrushing Beadle into the path of Martins who somehow hit the side-netting with an empty goal at his mercy. It was Wednesday's turn to strike the post just before the break when Ugbo rifled an effort on to the inside frame of the goal. Anthony Musaba could only guide his rebounded header into the grateful grasp of Hamer. The chances continued in the second half and Watford went close when Ismael Kone drilled just wide of the target. Wednesday's decision making in defence allowed the visitors to put pressure on the goal and the Hornets came close once again when substitute Yaser Asprilla dispossessed Pol Valentin before firing straight at Beadle. Di'Shon Bernard attempts to divert the ball on target from a Wednesday cross Wednesday thought they had finally opened the scoring midway through the second half. Bannan's inswinging free-kick found Bernard at the back post who thought he nudged beyond Hamer, only for the Hornets keeper to stop the ball on the line at the second time of trying. Bannan's set-pieces were causing problems for the away side and the Owls captain delivered a floater on to the head of Michael Smith who diverted wide. Wednesday continued to fight until the final whistle but Hamer was once again the saviour for Watford who magnificently kept out Musaba's 20-yard strike which looked to be heading into the top corne	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13030587/Sheffield-Wednesday-0-0-Watford-Owls-sit-five-points-adrift-Championship-safety-wasteful-display-stalemate.html	2024-01-31T23:17:12Z
Senate Republicans demanded that President Biden's national security funding package for Ukraine be tied to policy changes to address the crisis at the southwest border. But now that negotiators say they are ready to release details of a bipartisan plan to reduce the surge of migrants at the border, Republican divisions could scuttle the plan. Months of negotiations between the Republicans, Democrats and the Biden administration officials are now threatened by politics. Former President Trump, the GOP's likely 2024 presidential nominee, has been publicly slamming the deal and urging lawmakers to oppose it. Negotiators started the week promising to release a bill in the coming days. But by Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to signal he's ready to move on, and focus on getting money to two key U.S. allies at war. "It's time for us to move something, hopefully including the border agreement, but we need to get help to Israel and Ukraine, quickly," McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters. McConnell has consistently argued that divided government is the moment to extract demands on border policy from Democrats. Pressed about what voters would think of GOP lawmakers who sink a bill because Trump directed them to, McConnell sidestepped the question. "I still favor trying to make law when you can" and said what the bipartisan group is working on is better than current immigration law, adding, "you're asking me, a question I can't answer right now, which is the fate of it." Senators already know key details The top Democratic negotiator working on a border plan, Chris Murphy, D-Conn., has signaled for days that the deal is basically done, but getting sign off from the GOP to move ahead is the hold up. "We have a bipartisan agreement to help address the crisis at the border. Republicans have been desperate for that. Why would they walk away from it?" Senate Republicans huddled at their weekly lunch on Wednesday to discuss next steps, but the consensus coming out of the meeting was that lawmakers want to see the details. But after weeks of negotiations, the key provisions have already been explained to lawmakers from both parties. The bill includes several tools to address the border, including: giving the president the ability to shutdown the border if the numbers of migrants attempting to enter the U.S. climbs above a certain threshold, adjusting the rules for who qualifies for asylum and allowing migrants authorization to work while awaiting adjudication of their asylum claim. Extended negotiations opened space for critics Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said the effort is "an uphill climb" because as the talks have continued, some members have impressions about what the proposal will do and "there are certain people who will never change their mind." Tillis has said a border plan needs to get the majority of Senate Republicans in order to move ahead. But Trump injecting himself into the process has caused many lawmakers to refrain from backing the framework, making it tougher to meet that test. Oklahoma GOP Sen. Jim Lankford is crafting the plan along with Murphy and Independent Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. Lankford spent time on Sunday talk shows swatting down leaks about the plan that conservative media outlets are painting as a green light for 5,000 additional migrants a day. Texas Republican Sen, John Cornyn, who was an early advocate of linking money for Ukraine to changes to the Biden administration's policies, said people need time to see an official piece of legislation. "People are talking about what they think is in it, and what they've heard is in it, what's not in it,' Cornyn told reporters. "I think the first thing we need to do is see where the conference is based on the text rather than just based on rumors and hearsay." Tillis called Wednesday's meeting "a good discussion." But added, "I would ask those same members who are calling for time to read it, but not judge something they haven't read." Others who came out against the bill already are already dismissing the proposals. "I think this is a bad bill," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tx., told reporters. "And the simplest reason is it doesn't solve the problem." Cruz blamed Senate Democrats for crafting a bill that "allows Joe Biden to continue the open borders," despite the months of bipartisan negotiations that have taken place. President Biden endorsed the proposal and said last week if Congress passes it he would immediately shutdown the border. Some optimisim remains Murphy remained optimistic on Wednesday that the deal would survive and come to the floor for a vote, possibly as soon as this week. He said a "sizable, important group of Republican senators" are making a good faith effort to get something done on the border, and suggested that others are making disingenuous arguments about needing to see the full text. "This is not a detailed study of the issue. This is a question as to whether they are going to put Trump before solving the problem," Murphy said. Copyright 2024 NPR.

- GBP/USD trades below 1.2700 in the European session on Tuesday. - The pair could find support in case risk mood improves later in the day. - Next technical support for GBP/USD is located at 1.2650. GBP/USD closed the first day of the week virtually unchanged but came under modest bearish pressure early Tuesday. The pair trades below 1.2700 in the European session and the technical outlook points to a lack of buyer interest. The cautious market stance supports the US Dollar (USD) and makes it difficult for GBP/USD to gain traction early Tuesday as investors remain concerned about a deepening conflict in the Middle East. Reflecting the sour mood, US stock index futures trade in negative territory. Meanwhile, the UK's FTSE 100 Index opened higher before retreating modestly. In case Wall Street's main indexes turn north after the opening bell, the USD could lose its strength and help GBP/USD limit its losses. The US economic docket will feature December JOLT Job Openings data and the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index, which improved to 110.7 in December from 101.0 in November, for January. An upbeat sentiment reading could help the USD find demand but investors are unlikely to take large positions ahead of the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England policy announcements on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. GBP/USD Technical Analysis GBP/USD continued to stretch lower after closing the last 4-hour candle below the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the same chart declined toward 40, reflecting a build-up of bearish momentum. On the downside, 1.2650 (Fibonacci 23.6% retracement of the latest uptrend) aligns as first support before 1.2600 (psychological level, static level) and 1.2560 (200-day SMA). First resistance is located at 1.2700 (200-period SMA, 100-period SMA, 50-period SMA). If the pair stabilizes above that level, 1.2760 (static level) and 1.2780 (static level) could be seen as next hurdles.

Tyrrell Hatton claims Ryder Cup 'team spirit' was a big motivation for joining LIV Golf as he speaks out on his defection from the PGA Tour for the first time... but admits he's 'not up to speed' on his rival rosters - Hatton said he envied other sports for their team spirit that the PGA was lacking - Now, he'll be teeing off alongside Jon Rahm for the team Legion XIII in LIV Golf - DailyMail.com provides all the latest international sports news Tyrrell Hatton said that LIV Golf's team format - similar to the Ryder Cup - was one of the main draws for him to leave the PGA Tour and join the breakaway Saudi-backed golf circuit. Hatton became the latest big-name defector to leave the traditional tour and go to LIV - now about to enter its third season. Speaking to reporters at a press conference, Hatton said that the team spirit in LIV was something he felt was missing from golf. 'I love the Ryder Cup. I follow other sports outside of golf that are team sports,' Hatton explained. 'You're kind of envious of those guys having that team spirit week in, week out, and that was something that was very appealing for me to come and join LIV. Tyrrell Hatton said the team aspect of LIV Golf was one of the reasons he's joining the league Hatton will tee off for the team Legion XIII - alongside Ryder Cup teammate Jon Rahm Hatton admits he still needs to familiarize himself with the other teams on the breakaway tour 'I'm looking forward to getting to know the guys. Obviously we only really met this morning. 'Obviously I know Jon. But yeah, it's going to be a fun year, and looking forward to getting started.' Hatton will be joining the Legion XIII team and will play on alongside Jon Rahm, Caleb Surratt, and Kieran Vincent. As for his competition, Hatton admits he'll need some time to get familiarized with who he's playing against. 'I'm not actually up to speed yet for all the guys on all the teams, but ultimately we're just be going out there, trying our best like we do every other week, and I mean, with it being the first week back for a lot of guys, there's potentially going to be a little bit of rust there. 'Having said that, if I go out and play a bad round of golf on Friday, I don't really have much excuse. Either way, we'll be trying our best, and hopefully we'll be one of the teams at the top.' LIV Golf tees off its third season this weekend in Mexico at Mayakoba just south of Cancun.	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/golf/article-13030467/tyrrell-hatton-ryder-cup-liv-golf-jon-rahm.html	2024-01-31T23:17:18Z
Why Do Ford Mustangs Seem To Spin Out So Frequently? When talking about iconic vehicles, it's difficult to exclude the Ford Mustang from the conversation. As one of the best-selling sports cars in the world, this American pony revolutionized the automotive industry ever since its debut in the '60s. Throughout generations, the Mustang has always turned heads for featuring some of the mightiest American V8 engines. However, engine output is not the only aspect in which the Mustang has a reputation. Especially in the last two decades, many have raised eyebrows at the Mustang's handling. There is no shortage of videos on the internet poking fun at Mustang drivers for having trouble keeping their cars in a straight line. Mustangs frequently hitting curbs and running into the crowd at car meetings have resulted in generally negative feedback from many car enthusiasts. The Mustang's reputation as a dangerous vehicle is more than just a claim coming from the car community. Per IIHS's data, Mustangs are among the deadliest vehicles on the road, which is why they can be likely to kill the driver in a crash. But where does such a bad reputation come from? Is there an intrinsic problem with Mustangs in general? Or is the driver to blame? There are multiple factors contributing to the Ford Mustang's reputation as a sports car with dangerous handling. Sure, the driver's experience can certainly play a major role in the Mustang spinning out. However, there are other issues that imply the Mustang is not a tame horse. Without further ado, let's explore the main reasons behind the Mustang's notorious handling. First, Mustangs can be too powerful for their own good Higher-end Mustangs pack a lot of horsepower. The legendary Coyote V8 engine that Ford mounts under the Mustang GT's hood packs 486 HP. Either through an automatic or manual transmission, all of that power output goes to the car's rear wheels. Being a rear-wheel drive muscle car is an inseparable part of the Mustang formula. While it has its own perks, the extensive history of such a formula doesn't mean it is foolproof. While certainly more fun, RWD cars, by nature, are trickier to drive than cars with an AWD or FWD drivetrain. However, not all sporty rear-wheel drive cars have a reputation for spinning out. That gets us to the next reason contributing to the Mustang's notorious handling: the driver. The Mustang GT is one of the most affordable performance cars, with almost 500 horsepower. According to Donut Media, the Mustang GT ranks among cars with the highest dollar-to-horsepower ratio in the automotive world. Because of this, many young and inexperienced drivers opt for the Mustang as their first entry into the sports car league. Having all that power sent to the rear wheels with little to no experience in driving performance-oriented cars can be a recipe for disaster, and some Mustang drivers seem to be prime examples of that. Most older Ford Mustangs feature solid rear axles The mismatch between the car's power output and the driver's experience is not the only reason you see a lot of videos and memes making fun of Mustangs. Another significant contributing factor is the solid rear axle featured in most Mustangs from 2014 and older. Also known as the beam axle, the solid rear axle is an old design. The first generation of the Mustang featured a beam axle. For better traction, stability, and improved handling, most performance-oriented cars use independent rear axles. However, that doesn't mean solid rear axles are entirely inferior compared to independent rear axles. Apart from the differential, the axles for the left and right wheels are pretty much connected in a solid configuration. Solid rear axles are excellent for sending lots of horsepower to the rear wheels on a straight line, making it an excellent option for drag racing on the track. Moreover, since they're more straightforward in design, it is easier to modify them. On the other hand, solid axles tend to underperform in tight corners. Since both left and right axles are connected, the effect of any bump and pothole on the road that upsets one side of the car will be transferred to the other. Also, beam axles can cause more body rolls. Since each side of the rear suspension cannot move independently on each side, these issues result in loss of traction and ultimately make the car spin out when flooring the gas pedal. Newer Mustangs have swapped the old solid-axle design for independent rear axles. In our recent test drive in the 2024 Mustang GT, it proved to keep its wild nature while providing more balance for the driver. Hopefully, that means new-gen Mustangs won't run into crowds after cars and coffee meetings.	https://www.slashgear.com/1502284/why-ford-mustangs-spin-out-frequently/	2024-01-31T23:17:19Z
Any day now ... right? Cubs fans have long awaited the return of one player to their team: Cody Bellinger. As blue-chip MLB free agents continue to drop, without the Cubs signing any --- except Shota Imanaga --- the itch to re-sign Bellinger grows. Recently, MLB insiders penned their predictions for how each blue-chip player's free agency will end. They all landed on the same answer --- Bellinger will return to the Cubs. But one authored an interesting caveat to his free agency. Stay in the game with the latest updates on your beloved Chicago sports teams! Sign up here for our All Access Daily newsletter. "[Scott] Boeck: Chicago Cubs – Bellinger returns to Chicago on a short-term deal despite interest in moving back to Los Angeles to play for the Angels." The idea of a short-term deal for Bellinger hasn't surfaced much, if at all, this offseason. The one roadblock standing in between a Bellinger-Cubs reunion appears to be his asking price and his desire for a long-term deal. MLB's Mark Feinsand recently reported Bellinger's asking price is north of $200 million for the entirety of his next contract. Remember, Bellinger's agent is the notorious Scott Boras, known for his stubborn negotiation and big asking prices. "Ultimately, the widespread belief within the industry is that Bellinger and the Cubs will reunite, but only if/when his asking price comes down," Feinsand recently wrote. Cubs News The Cubs handed Bellinger a one-year contract worth $17.5 million last season and he turned it into merit for a massive, long-term deal. But there don't appear to be many interested suitors in his asking price. His free agency might reach a dead end if he doesn't provide any financial flexibility. Could that motivate both the Cubs and Bellinger to try again on a lucrative, short-term deal? Then, Bellinger can try to earn that coveted long-term deal in another, upcoming free agency. That's likely a hard sell for Bellinger, however. He dominated with the Cubs last season and rejuvenated his career. He's likely hard-set on getting locked up for maybe the rest of his career. Last season, Bellinger earned the NL Comeback Player of the Year award, thanks to a steady .307 batting average and .881 OPS. He added 26 home runs and 97 RBIs to his stat sheet and finished the season with a 4.4 WAR. He was rock solid in center field, too. Sure, Pete Crow-Armstrong's defense in center field is outstanding. But the Cubs need a playmaker at the plate and left-handed hitting. They also need a first baseman, and potentially a designated hitter. Insert Bellinger. The most recent update from Bellinger's end includes the Los Angeles Angels' reported interest in him. They have significant interest in Bellinger and have met with him and Boras about a future deal, according to David Vassegh on Dodger Talk. The longer the Cubs sit on their hands and wait for Bellinger to come down from his price, the more likely they miss out on returning their center fielder, according got Vassegh. "The longer this goes on I feel like the odds of the Cubs keeping Cody Bellinger go down incrementally each day. I wouldn't be surprised if Bellinger doesn't sign until camps open up in a little under a month from now," Vassegh said. We'll see how Bellinger's free agency unfolds. But the predominant thinking around the league, at this point, is he will re-sign with the Cubs. USA Today's Bob Nightengale reflected as much in the same story. "Nightengale: Chicago Cubs – It’s a perfect marriage after dating all of last season, and everyone knows it’s going to happen. The only question is who proposes first."	https://www.nbcsportschicago.com/mlb/chicago-cubs/cubs-news/could-cody-bellinger-sign-a-short-term-contract-with-the-cubs/536718/	2024-01-31T23:17:19Z
Google pushed out a new Android 14 QPR2 beta update today, but don’t get too excited just yet. This new build, labeled as QPR2 3.2, is only for the Pixel 5a. After reading through the fix list, it sure sounds like the 3.1 update caused all sorts of havoc on the little guy. The release notes page for Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3.2 says this update is “exclusively for Pixel 5a devices” and includes several (15!) fixes that “caused the device to boot slowly and the user interface to lag or freeze.” Dang. For those of you with a Pixel 5a and in the Android Beta Program, the update should show up right away. You can check for the QPR2 Beta 3.2 update by heading into Settings>System>Software updates and tap “System update.” If live, this should begin the download process. Otherwise, we have both OTA (here) and factory images (here) available to do the thing manually. And for those not yet in the Android 14 QPR2 Beta who want to be, sign-up here.	https://www.droid-life.com/2024/01/31/android-14-qpr2-beta-3-2-released-for-pixel-5a/	2024-01-31T23:17:19Z
WASHINGTON: Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday apologised to families at a US Senate hearing about the impact that social media has on children. Under prodding from Republican senator Josh Hawley, Zuckerberg stood up and addressed families who held up pictures of their children who they said had been harmed by social media. As the hearing kicked off, the committee played a video in which children spoke about being bullied on social media platforms. Senators recounted stories of young people taking their own lives after being extorted for money after sharing photos with sexual predators. “Would you like now to apologise to the victims who have been harmed by your product?” Hawley asked, noting the hearing was being broadcast on live television. Zuckerberg stood up, turned around, and addressed the families. “I’m sorry for everything you have all been through. No one should go through the things that your families have suffered and this is why we invest so much and we are going to continue doing industry-wide efforts to make sure no one has to go through the things your families have had to suffer,” he said. Hawley aggressively criticised Zuckerberg during a contentious exchange. “Your product is killing people,” Hawley told Zuckerberg, whose firm owns social media platforms Facebook and Instagram.	https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/business/2024/02/01/metas-zuckerberg-apologises-to-parents-at-us-senate-hearing/	2024-01-31T23:17:20Z

Dem Rep Opens Can of Worms After Saying Impeachment Shouldn't be Used 'for Revenge' Sometimes the utter lack of self-awareness shown by died-hard leftists can be truly breathtaking, no matter how much we’ve come to expect it. Demonstrating this phenomenon this week is Democrat Representative for Texas, Sheila Jackson Lee, who decided to run her mouth about the impeachment inquiries against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, commenting that impeachment “is not a tool meant to be used for revenge.” But, first some context: Over the past few weeks, the House GOP has moved to begin an impeachment inquiry against Mayorkas over his disastrous mishandling of the current border crisis. While Democrats have ridiculed Republicans for supposedly embarking on a “witch hunt,” and accused them of callousness in their aggressive border policies and refusal to sign off on a bill authorizing yet more spending to “secure the border,” the House GOP has moved forward undeterred with their impeachment inquiries against Mayorkas. According to a report in Fox News, the “House Homeland Security Committee met Tuesday to advance two articles of impeachment against Mayorkas … A vote is expected to take place later in the day … moving the articles to a House vote at a future date.” Jackson Lee is on the Homeland Security Committee. In a social media post on Tuesday, she shared a video of her comments during the impeachment hearings where she claimed that “we are being fooled that work is being done against an individual for treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” “The American people understand that that is not the actions that we are here for today. Revenge, vengefulness, is why we are here. Otherwise, they would understand that Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is an individual whose family fled the Nazis and then Cuba before arriving here in the U.S.” She continued, reminding her colleagues that he “is the first immigrant to serve as head of the Department of Homeland Security, and yet, this committee seeks to suggest that he is violating the Constitution, when in essence, his freedom is based upon our Constitution.” That’s nice, Representative, but aren’t politicians of any stripe notorious for having “rules for me and not for thee?” Anyway, she retweeted the video with her infamous caption, “Impeachment is not meant as a tool to be used for revenge. #RevengeImpeachment.” Impeachment is not meant as a tool to be used for revenge. #RevengeImpeachment https://t.co/mqnR0U0X7S — Sheila Jackson Lee (@JacksonLeeTX18) January 30, 2024 Where to even begin? Aaron Ray Hermes, a Republican running for the GOP nomination to challenge Jackson Lee in Texas’ 18th Congressional District, wasted no time in calling her out, retweeting her remark and commenting, “Oh so wanting to protect the country is just ‘revenge’ now? … Then why did you impeach Trump for making a perfectly valid phone call in 2019?” Oh so wanting to protect the country is just “revenge” now? lol. Then why did you impeach Trump for making a perfectly valid phone call in 2019? Keep lying and we’ll keep showing up with receipts. Can’t wait to take your seat. — Aaron Ray Hermes (@realAaronHermes) January 30, 2024 And Hermes had plenty of company: Haha! Says the Impeachment Democratic Party. — JC Howell (@AuthorJCHowell) January 30, 2024 As if that’s not EXACTLY what you did to Trump. Twice! — Michael 🇺🇸 Distinguished Fellow of Shankapotomi (@click4mrh) January 31, 2024 Is that why you impeached Trump twice? Revenge? — Bob Dog (@BobDog19006) January 31, 2024 You are absolutely out of your mind, woman! You don’t even deserve a single cent from the hardworking taxpayers. You should have been kicked out a long time ago. You’ve been leeching off the people for far too long. You’re nothing but evil and pathetic. Tell me, what good have… — Jones (@cjones2022) January 31, 2024 As usual, it seems that Democrats only care about whether impeachment is used for revenge or just purposes if their own people are the target. In Democratic eyes, former President Bill Clinton was unfairly targeted for taking advantage of a young, female White House intern in the 1990s, then lying about it on national television — and under oath. To Democrats, President Joe Biden is an innocent victim accused of the crime of “helping” his poor son, and Mayorkas’ impeachment is fueled by some unspecific Republican “revenge.” But Donald Trump, who was twice impeached for offenses he did not commit, or for actions that were grossly twisted out of context? Why, the Democrats then were only trying to “preserve our democracy” (how they do love that phrase) from the “threat” of a “tyrant” like Trump. The hypocrisy on display from folks like Representative Jackson Lee is nothing short of sickening. It was crystal clear to Americans with their eyes open that Trump’s impeachments were motivated by nothing other than revenge, revenge for his having the audacity to win the 2016 election. The Democratic push to persecute Trump, which is still ongoing in the flimsy criminal cases against him, is motivated almost entirely by a perverse desire for revenge. That Jackson Lee can seriously accuse her colleagues of using impeachment as a form of revenge, without acknowleging that Democrats themselves used impeachment as a revenge against Trump is simpy appalling. We expect politicians, especially Democrats, to express a profound lack of self-awareness at this point, but Jackson Lee’s is almost unprecedented.

- GBP/USD trades in a narrow band below 1.2700 early Wednesday. - The Fed will announce policy decisions and Chairman Powell will hold a press conference later. - The pair's technical outlook is yet to show a build-up of directional momentum. GBP/USD touched it lowest level in two weeks below 1.2650 on Tuesday but managed to stage a rebound in the late American session. The pair holds steady below 1.2700 on Wednesday as investors gear up for the Federal Reserve's (Fed) policy announcements. Pound Sterling price this week The table below shows the percentage change of Pound Sterling (GBP) against listed major currencies this week. Pound Sterling was the weakest against the New Zealand Dollar. The heat map shows percentage changes of major currencies against each other. The base currency is picked from the left column, while the quote currency is picked from the top row. For example, if you pick the Euro from the left column and move along the horizontal line to the Japanese Yen, the percentage change displayed in the box will represent EUR (base)/JPY (quote). The Fed is forecast to hold the policy rate steady at 5.25%-5.5% following the first meeting of the year. Several Fed policymakers pushed back against the market expectation for a rate cut in March ahead of the blackout period and helped the US Dollar stay resilient against its rivals. The probability of a rate reduction in March declined from 80% earlier in the month to nearly 40% heading into the Fed meeting, according to CME FedWatch Tool. The USD Index (DXY), which tracks the USD's valuation against a basket of six major currencies, is up 2% in January. If the policy statement, or Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, adopts an optimistic tone about the continuation of the disinflationary process and refrains from confirming that there won't be a rate cut in March, the USD could come under renewed selling pressure and allow GBP/USD to turn north. On the other hand, the USD could gather further strength in case the Fed confirms a delay in the policy pivot, citing better-than-expected growth figures for the fourth quarter and relatively tight conditions in the labor market. GBP/USD Technical Analysis Critical resistance is located at 1.2700 (200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), 100-period SMA and 50-period SMA). If the pair rises above that level and confirms it as support, 1.2760 (static level) and 1.2780 (static level) could be seen as next bullish targets. On the downside, 1.2650 (Fibonacci 23.6% retracement of the latest uptrend) aligns as first support before 1.2600 (psychological level, static level) and 1.2560 (200-day SMA).

All The Best Trade-In Deals And Bundles For The Samsung S24, S24+ And Ultra We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. After being officially unveiled on January 18, Samsung's latest flagship S24-series devices are set to go on sale starting today, January 31, 2024. All three devices — while looking near-identical to their predecessors from 2023 — feature iterative upgrades, including a faster processor, a bunch of AI-focused features, and improved cameras across the board. The top-of-the-line Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra now features a titanium frame and comes in a total of six color options, out of which three variants — Titanium Green, Titanium Blue, and Titanium Orange — are exclusively available via Samsung's official online store. Offered in three storage variants, the pricing for the base 256GB variant starts at $1299.99, going up to $1419.99 for the 512GB option, and $1659.99 for the top-end 1TB variant. The standard Galaxy S24 and the S24+ variants are offered in seven color variants, of which three — Jade Green, Sapphire Blue, and Sandstone Orange — are exclusively available from Samsung direct. The S24 is offered in 128GB and 256GB storage options, priced at $799.99 and $859.99, respectively. Similarly, the S24+ comes in 256GB ($999.99) and 512GB ($1199.99) options. If you find these prices incredibly high, listed below are some of the best trade-in deals and bundles for the S24 lineup that are worth looking at. Best trade-in deals and bundles for the Galaxy S24 series For those intending to trade in their old smartphones for these new Samsung flagships, the good news is that the company offers excellent trade-in values for old handsets. With the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the S24 Plus, you can get up to $750 and $650 off, respectively, if you trade in your old device. For the Samsung Galaxy S24, you can get up to $550 off with an eligible trade-in device. Carrier-locked versions of the S24+ and the S24 Ultra also come with a free Smart View Wallet Case as part of the deal. Apart from these trade-in prices, Samsung also offers excellent bundles with the S24 lineup. For example, the company offers a massive 40% discount on the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic when purchased with a Galaxy S24 device. Similarly, there is a 35% discount on the Galaxy Watch 6 when purchased with the Galaxy S24+ or the S24 Ultra (not the standard Galaxy S24). Then there is the option to get the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for $79.99 when purchased with the S24 Ultra. If you purchase the same along with either the S24+ or the Galaxy S24, the price goes up to $149.99. The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE are also part of the offer, and you are eligible for a 50% discount off its price when purchased along with an S24+ or S24 Ultra, and 25% off when purchased with the base Samsung Galaxy S24. AT&T and Verizon deals for the Galaxy S24 While Samsung's trade-in deals are certainly enticing, if you are seeking something even better, you'd need to turn to carrier-exclusive trade-in deals. AT&T, for example, offers its users the option to get the Samsung Galaxy S24 and the Galaxy S24+ for no additional payment as long as they have any Samsung Galaxy smartphone for trade-in, irrespective of its age, condition, or year of purchase. The Galaxy S24 Ultra can be bought with $1000 off with an eligible trade-in. In case you add a line to your existing connection, you are also eligible to get a Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+5G as part of the deal. You need to be on an installment plan and will also be required to either pick or upgrade to an unlimited plan to be eligible for this. Verizon users get a similar deal, although you'd need to select any of Verizon's unlimited plans to be eligible. You can then trade in any model Samsung phone — in any condition — to get the Galaxy S24 or Galaxy S24+. For anyone intending to get the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, you should be content with getting a still-significant $1,000 off on the device. Verizon, however, sweetens the deal by adding a free Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Tab to the mix, subject to some additional conditions. T-Mobile, BoostMobile, Xfinity, and US Cellular deals Like AT&T and Verizon, T-Mobile also offers great deals on the S24+ and the S24 for subscribers of their Go5GPlus and Go5GNext plans. Users opting for a new line with either plan can get up to $800 off all three devices — including the S24 Ultra. Those wishing to trade in can get up to $1000 off with all three S24 devices. These plans are in addition to other attractive offers for users of its One or Magenta rate plans. Like Verizon, the company also offers the opportunity to get 50% off on the Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G when adding a new tablet line. BoostMobile, Xfinity, and US Cellular have also come up with great deals for the S24 lineup. Some of the interesting ones include Boost's new $60 a month plan that offers unlimited calls and data plus a free upgrade to the newest Samsung Galaxy phone every year. Xfinity is offering the base variant of the S24 (128GB) for free to its users once they trade in their existing device. US Cellular, on the other hand, offers the S24 with no trade-in, while the S24+ and the S24 Ultra are eligible for trade-in with their existing smartphones.	https://www.slashgear.com/1506751/best-trade-in-deals-bundles-samsung-galaxy-s24-series-phones/	2024-01-31T23:17:26Z
Travis Kelce tells sister-in-law Kylie that she can always 'pop in and tell Jason he f*ing sucks' after she accidentally interrupts the recording of their New Heights podcast - Kylie has been a guest on her husband and brother-in-law's podcast before - Jason and Kylie have been married since 2018 and have three daughters - DailyMail.com provides all the latest international sports news Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce told sister-in-law Kylie she can interrupt the recording of their show to tell Jason 'he fing sucks' every now and then, during the taping of this week's 'New Heights' podcast. The Kelce family are consistent guests on 'New Heights' with Jason and Travis recording the show from their homes in the Philadelphia and Kansas City areas respectively. Kylie and Jason have been married since April 2018, with the former consistently putting up with the hijinks of her husband, including when he jumped out of a Buffalo luxury box shirtless and chugged a beer. 'I gotta let Kylie in down here because the door is locked for some reason,' Jason said during Wednesday's episode. 'Oh, there she is. You can always interrupt.' 'Always, free pass,' Travis added. 'If you want to just pop in every now and then and tell Jason he f**ing sucks.' Travis Kelce told sister-in-law Kylie she can interrupt the recording of their show anytime Kylie (R) is married to Travis's brother, Philadelphia Eagles legendary center Jason Kelce (L) 'They're saying that they would gladly have you pop in whenever you want over me talking or anything,' Jason said. 'I'm repeating what they said, I'm not giving you any kindness.' 'I know that!' Kylie said. 'I need to though,' Jason retorted. 'Somebody stop him please,' Travis said about Jason. Also during Wednesday's episode, Jason also insisted that he did not want to get a cat, despite his wife's desires. The Eagles center clarified that if he and his family we're to add a little feline to their household of five, then it would have to be 'outdoorsy' and not domesticated. 'Listen, I respect what a cat can do in nature,' said Jason at first. 'It's a ferocious, hunting animal. [...] I don't want one like these ragdolls... I've learned so much about cats over the last week. People saying ''Oh, we should get a ragdoll, you should get this. You should get a tabby.'' All these... I don't even know... what the heck... I didn't even know there were cat breeds. I didn't know that was a whole thing. It's a cat... 'They are like dogs they have different breeds,' replied Travis, who is Super Bowl bound but will miss the Grammy's ceremony in L.A., which his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, is expected to attend. Kylie insisted the family of five get a cat after Jason downed drinks shirtless at a Chiefs game '[...] Which one is it? Females or males that pee...' then asked Jason. 'Like they just start to... I just remember going to certain guys' houses growing up that had cats and you would smell like that smell. You know what I'm talking about? 'You could just smell that urine...I'm out...I just... there's nothing about a cat...' Jason has still not clearly stated his football future, as retirement rumors have been rampant for the last few weeks. Travis will be one of the integral parts of Super Bowl LVIII on February 11 as his relationship with Taylor Swift has ballooned his mainstream celebrity status.	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-13029967/Travis-Kelce-Kylie-Jason-New-Heights-podcast.html	2024-01-31T23:17:25Z
The NBA is officially turning its draft into a two-day event starting this summer. The league announced on Wednesday that it will hold the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Wednesday, June 26, and the second round at ESPN's Seaport District Studios in New York City on Thursday, June 27.

It looks like Samsung is about to unveil a new Galaxy Fit wearable, which should be exciting for those who task Samsung and its ecosystem with keeping track of their health and wellness. Called the Galaxy Fit 3, leaked promotional material show off very updated hardware, so let’s take a look. Thanks to @evleaks, there’s no shortage of materials to be seen. We can see the wearable from all angles, plus get a very good idea for all of the software and tracking features. To be clear, the Galaxy Fit 3 is not a smartwatch, but instead just a health tracker with what looks to be notification support. The upgrade is that AMOLED display, coming in at 40mm (1.6-inch), much larger than the Fit 2’s 27.8mm display size. Other specs include an aluminum body frame, 5ATM + IP68, fall detection, 13 days of battery, sleep tracking, exercise tracking, plus an optical heart rate sensor. What this device lacks is also important. There’s no NFC, no mobile payments, no 3rd-party apps, no ECG, no GPS, no irregular heart rhythm notification, no speaker, and no blood pressure. It really is just a health and fitness tracker, but even the health tracking seems somewhat limited. When we learn more, like availability and pricing, we’ll update you. In the meantime, we’re so excited to see your “Looks like an Apple Watch!” comments. eye roll // @evleaks	https://www.droid-life.com/2024/01/31/galaxy-fit-3-leaked-in-full-with-upgraded-hardware-design/	2024-01-31T23:17:26Z
THE HAGUE: Judges at the top UN court on Wednesday found that Russia violated elements of a UN anti-terrorism treaty, but declined to rule on allegations brought by Kyiv that Moscow was responsible for the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine in 2014. In the same ruling, judges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) found that Russia had breached an anti-discrimination treaty by failing to support Ukrainian language education in Crimea after its 2014 annexation of the peninsula. The decisions were a legal setback for Kyiv. The court rejected Ukraine’s requests to order reparations for both violations and only ordered Russia to comply with the treaties. Ukraine’s representative Anton Korynevych stressed the judgment was important for Kyiv because it did establish Russia violated international law. “This is the first time that officially, legally Russia is called a violator of international law,” he told journalists after the ruling. Ukraine had filed the lawsuit at the ICJ, also known as the World Court, in 2017, accusing Russia of violating an anti-terrorism treaty by funding pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine. The court’s judges said Moscow violated the UN’s anti-terrorism treaty by not investigating plausible allegations that some funds were sent from Russia to Ukraine to possibly fund terrorist activities. The 16-judge panel ordered Russia to investigate any plausible allegations of terrorism financing but turned down a request by Kyiv for reparations. The court declined to rule on the downing of MH17, saying violations of funding terrorism only applied to monetary and financial support, not to supplying weapons or training as alleged by Ukraine. Ukraine had argued that Russia supplied the missile system that shot down the aircraft, but it had not alleged financial support in that instance. In a hearing at the court in The Hague last June, Russia dismissed Ukraine’s allegations that it funded and controlled pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine as fiction and “blatant lies”. In the case, which has taken almost seven years, Kyiv had accused Russia of equipping and funding pro-Russian forces, including rebels who shot down MH17 in July 2014, killing all 298 passengers and crew. In November 2022, a Dutch court sentenced two Russians and a Ukrainian in absentia to life imprisonment for their role in the disaster. In Crimea, Ukraine had said Russia was trying to erase the culture of ethnic Tatars and Ukrainians. The court dismissed all of the claims related to the Tatars but found Moscow did not do enough to support Ukrainian language education. The court’s judgments are final and without appeal, but it has no way to enforce its rulings. On Friday, the ICJ will rule in another case in which Ukraine has accused Moscow of falsely applying the 1948 Genocide Convention to justify its Feb 24, 2022, invasion.	https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/highlight/2024/02/01/world-court-dismisses-ukraines-mh17-case-against-russia/	2024-01-31T23:17:26Z

Furious 'Wheel of Fortune' Fans Claim Contestant Was 'Robbed' of $40,000 Prize in Bonus Round “Wheel of Fortune” fans are at odds with each other and the show’s judges after a contestant on Tuesday’s show lost out on tens of thousands of dollars after she appeared to some viewers to have solved the final puzzle. In the bonus round, a contestant named Megan was just a few letters and a correct guess away from taking home $40,000. A blank puzzle appeared, and naturally, the letters R, S, T, L, N and E were automatically offered to help Megan get a head start. What was left was a puzzle that read, “_ _N_ _R_ _ _ _.” Megan chose her consonants and a vowel — C, D, P and A — leaving the board pretty well filled in. With only 10 seconds to solve the show’s final puzzle, the woman looked at a board that read, “P_N_ _RC_ _ D.” During her first guess, Megan uttered a phrase that was interpreted differently by two warring fan factions of the hit game show. Megan said either “Something orchid” or “Pink orchid.” She quickly went on to shout out a number of other guesses, all of which were incorrect. The buzzer sounded, and host Pat Sajak appeared disappointed to not only reveal that the answer was “PINK ORCHID,” but also that Megan had just missed out on a huge payday. “I’m sorry that didn’t work out for you,” Sajak said. Megan responded as if the answer was or should have been obvious to her when she uttered the word, “Pink!” Two of the top comments on the clip on the “Wheel” YouTube page show just how differently many who watched interpreted Megan’s first guess. One commenter wrote, “For those wondering she said, ‘something orchid.’” Meanwhile, the other commenter wrote, “First thing she said was Pink Orchid, so she got it right!!!” The conversation also made its way onto the social media platform X, where the discussion continued: She 100% said pink orchid. She got robbed. — Jorge f (@jorgeF0804) January 31, 2024 Be better @WheelofFortune — Jorge f (@jorgeF0804) January 31, 2024 She said “SOMETHING orchid”. I even heard it the first time. People need to get their ears checked, I swear to God.#WheelOfFortune — Mr. Face (@Mr_Face222) January 31, 2024 She said “something orchid” as in she knew orchid but didn’t know the first word. She then said pony orchid lol she clearly was thinking it was a type of orchid and not a color. She didn’t even get mad when he said the answer. She definitely didn’t say pink — RedbarDiditBetter (@HoagieBitingMan) January 31, 2024 There is no question, she absolutely said “pink orchid”. Please give this girl her winnings! @WheelofFortune @PatOnWheel @TheVannaWhite @MaggieSajak #wheel #wheeloffortune #justiceforpinkorchid Rooting for you, Megan! pic.twitter.com/muiRlMCMLy — ashley june (@ashleeeeeejune) January 31, 2024 She said “something orchid” — Tovah Atha (@TovahAtha) January 31, 2024 I’m sorry, did she NOT say Pink Orchid the first time? Or am I tripping #wheeloffortune pic.twitter.com/b30E4l0MqE — Taylor (@TaylorStriegel) January 31, 2024 Okay @WheelofFortune if you play tonight’s episode again for the final puzzle, the one that just aired, you will hear clearly that she said “pink orchid”. You did not properly credit the winner. Go and play it back. Seriously she said exactly that! Pink Orchid! — 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐞 (@PaganWitch87) January 31, 2024 Am I tripping or did she say pink orchid ….#wheeloffortune — AB (@AngelBeeBrooks) January 31, 2024 Clearly says “something orchid” — ThatOnenessGuy (@ThatOnenessGuy) January 31, 2024 Despite missing out on a huge payout, Megan still walked away with just over $14,000 in cash.

XAU/USD Current price: 2,032.51 - United States data fueled demand for the US Dollar ahead of the Federal Reserve’s announcement. - The US Treasury reduced its federal borrowing estimate for 1Q 2024 to $760 billion. - XAU/USD keeps grinding higher, with buyers slowly recovering their confidence. The US Dollar is once again appreciating during the American session, resulting in XAU/USD retreating from a fresh weekly high of $2,048.64 achieved following the release of United States (US) data. The country reported that the number of job openings on the last business day of December stood at 9.02 million, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), higher than the 8.92 million openings reported in November. Additionally, CB announced Consumer Sentiment rose to 114.8 in January, its highest in over two years. The USD is firmer despite a sharp slide in government bond yields. Markets welcomed news from the US Treasury, as the organism reduced its federal borrowing estimate for 1Q 2024 to $760 billion, down from a previous $816 billion estimate. However, Wall Street trimmed previous gains, with major indexes trading mixed around their opening levels. Finally, caution prevails as speculative interest awaits the US Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision. The central bank will likely keep interest rates on hold, although market players will be looking for clues on upcoming rate cuts. In the latest dot plot, Fed officials anticipated three rate cuts this year, with money markets looking at March for the first trim. Policymakers have been conservative on the date issue, refusing to confirm when they could pull the trigger. XAU/USD short-term technical outlook The daily chart shows XAU/USD trades in the green for a second consecutive day as buyers gain confidence. The bright metal stands above a mildly bearish 20 Simple Moving Average (SMA) for the first time in over two weeks, while the longer moving averages remain far below the current level, with the 100 SMA advancing above a flat 200 SMA. Technical indicators, in the meantime, crossed their midlines into positive territory but lacks strength enough to confirm a bullish extension. The 4-hour chart shows that XAU/USD was quite volatile around the release of US data but trades pretty much unchanged from pre-release levels. The 20 SMA gains upward traction below the current level and below a flat 100 SMA, while the price currently battles with the 200 SMA. Finally, technical indicators hold within positive levels, although without directional strength, failing to provide fresh clues.
