Employee Health Concerns Trigger Investigation at Smith’s Snackfood Company
Adelaide-based employees at Smith’s Snackfood Company, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, have voiced severe health concerns allegedly tied to handling the spicy seasoning for ‘flamin’ hot’ Doritos. The symptoms reported include eye and skin irritation, sneezing, coughing, runny nose, chest discomfort, and difficulty in breathing. Out of the 13 interviewed, 11 have lodged complaints, shedding light on the gravity of the workplace safety standards.
The United Workers Union Steps In
The United Workers Union (UWU) has taken notice of the situation, raising a workplace safety complaint. This has prompted an investigation by SafeWork SA into the matter. The health complaints have underscored the potential health hazards associated with the handling or exposure to certain food products in an industrial setting.
PepsiCo’s Response
PepsiCo has reacted to the health complaints by implementing additional safety procedures, affirming the safety of its employees as their topmost priority. The company has announced the installation of extra extraction fans in response to the allegations.
Investigation and Further Actions
SafeWork SA is currently examining the claims to ascertain their legitimacy and the severity of the symptoms suffered by the workers. The outcome of this investigation will dictate the actions that will follow to ensure the safety and well-being of the employees.

Prioritizing safety for New Year’s Eve celebrations
28/22 NEWS (WBRE/WYOU) — 2023 is coming to an end and officers hope making it home safe after a night of fun takes priority in everyone’s New Year’s Eve plans.
New Year’s Eve is notorious for accidents caused by drunk driving.
The Wyoming Area Regional Police Department says it will be doing routine patrols, staying alert, and looking for any impaired drivers.
Their goal is to ensure everyone gets home safely and starts the New Year off right.
Kids celebrate the New Year in Kingston
They urge people to take advantage of ride-share services and make smart decisions when getting to and from their New Year’s Eve destinations.
“Today people are fortunate that there’s lift services that could pick them up and take them home. Very inexpensive, a lot cheaper than what a DUI would cost, a lot cheaper than what a funeral would cost. We just ask that people do the right thing, do the smart thing,” said Wyoming Area Regional Police Department Chief Michael Turner.
Uber is offering ride vouchers for the evening through Monday morning to ensure everyone can ride safely.

WDBJ7 Archive: Remembering NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough
MARTINSVILLE, Va. (WDBJ) - NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough passed away Sunday at the age of 84, but not without leaving a legacy behind. WDBJ7 scoured through the archives to find our interviews with Yarborough as he rose to fame for his impeccable racing skills.
Yarborough was a four-time Daytona 500 winner, a five-time victor in the Southern 500 and has three Cup Series titles that came consecutively from 1976 through 1978.
He is tied with Jimmie Johnson for sixth on the Cup Series’ all-time list with 83 victories each.
Yarborough frequented the Martinsville Speedway and expressed his love for the town in a 1973 interview with WDBJ7.
“Well racing feels pretty good. I’ve been away from Martinsville for a couple of years and this always was one of my favorite short tracks and it’s always real nice to come to Martinsville and visiting these great race fans. I think the...fans around Martinsville are probably the best racing fans in the country,” said Yarborough.
Watch the video to see the late 1960s and 70s clips of the race car driver.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones tip-toed around talk of their acrimonious split almost 30 years ago, when they had just teamed as coach and owner to win consecutive Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys.
Whether that breakup was the reason it took Jones so long to put Johnson in the team’s ring of honor doesn’t matter much at this point to both Pro Football Hall of Famers.
The bottom line is Johnson is joining Tom Landry as the only coaches alongside the 19 players and two executives in the exclusive group of one of the NFL’s storied franchises.
Johnson was greeted by the Hall of Fame “Triplets” who headlined his Super Bowl teams — quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith and receiver Michael Irvin — for the ceremony at halftime of Saturday night’s regular-season home finale against the Detroit Lions.
“Thank you, Jerry Jones, for bringing me to the Dallas Cowboys,” Johnson told the crowd.
Johnson capped his acceptance speech with a dramatic pause as he walked up to Irvin, turned and offered his famous catchphrase, “How ’bout them Cowboys!” He said it the first time in the locker room after Dallas won at San Francisco in the NFC championship game before the first Super Bowl victory.
“You can say whatever you want to about my human reaction or frailties,” Jones said before the game. “I say this today, he’s there because it’s the right thing. He was always going in the ring of honor, whether I put him in or my kids put him in.”
One of the theories behind the abrupt end of Johnson’s tenure in 1994 was a tussle over who should get credit for the dramatic turnaround in Dallas.
The Cowboys went from 1-15 in 1989 — the year Jones bought the Cowboys and hired Johnson after firing the only coach Dallas ever had in Landry — to the first back-to-back Super Bowl titles in franchise history to cap the 1992 and ’93 seasons.
“I think we’re past who gets credit,” Johnson said. “The two of us, working together, made history. When I say working together, we talked every single day. I don’t ever recall us having a difference of opinion.”
Others would suggest Johnson’s take is revisionist history, because he was incensed 30 years ago over suggestions from Jones, also the team’s general manager, that any one of 500 coaches could have won a title with the Dallas roster.
Barry Switzer did it two years after the split of Jones and Johnson, who were teammates at Arkansas in the early 1960s. But critics never stopped suggesting the 1995 title was with Johnson’s players, and the Cowboys haven’t even reached an NFC championship game since that season.
Aikman was working the game as an analyst for ESPN and hustled down from the broadcast booth to join the ceremony. He stood with Irvin and Smith during the presentation, which started with Johnson walking through a greeting line of dozens of players from his Super Bowl run.
“It means everything to me and my teammates and everybody that was a part of those teams,” Aikman said on ESPN during the first half. “And the circle has been closed tonight at halftime.”
After two years away from football, Johnson returned with the Miami Dolphins in 1996 and led them to the playoffs the last three of his four seasons. But Miami never got past the divisional round.
The 80-year-old Johnson, a Texas native, has been a Fox studio analyst the past two decades and was enshrined in Canton, Ohio, in 2020, three years after Jones.
Now Johnson’s name will be inside AT&T Stadium along with Landry, who led the Cowboys to two Super Bowl titles in the 1970s and is fifth on the career list with 250 regular-season victories.
“I don’t think anybody can ever imagine what this means to me,” said Johnson, who won the 1987 college national championship at Miami. “This was a special time in my life. This was something that paid dividends for me the rest of my life. We took over the worst football team in the NFL. Not only did we win Super Bowls, but we were able to put together the team of the ’90s.”
Because of that, the split left many, including Johnson’s players, wondering what might have been had he stayed. Not only is Johnson past the question of credit, he doesn’t think much about “what ifs” either.
“Sometimes I’m kind of like a gypsy,” Johnson said. “I’ve never been anywhere more than five years. Got the point after winning a couple of Super Bowls, almost to the point of, ‘I’ve accomplished what I want to accomplish.’ Sometimes you lose sight of what you can do because of what you’ve already done.”
Johnson suggested he and Jones weren’t communicating as well at the end of their time together in Dallas as they had at the beginning, when they both faced a firestorm of criticism.
Jones suggested he let the sudden success of the Cowboys go to his head.
“What Jimmy brings is a lot of the best of me, enthusiasm, what have you,” Jones recalled telling his parents just before the split became public in 1994. “When it’s going the other way, I don’t like myself. It’s taking away from it. That mentality probably caused me to be not as tolerant as maybe we could have gone.”
A sense of closure for many of those issues was coming a few hours later.

Tyler Bilodeau scores 27, Jordan Pope adds 20; Oregon St. beats USC 86-70
Tyler Bilodeau scored a career-high 27 points and Jordan Pope added 20 to lead host Oregon State to an 86-70 victory Saturday night over Southern California.
Oregon State (9-4, 1-1 Pac-12) scored the first 11 points of the second half, culminated by Pope's 3-pointer to extend the lead to 50-30 with 15:13 remaining.
USC (6-7, 0-2 Pac-12) responded with a 9-0 run, but the Beavers quickly regained control and maintained a double-digit lead the remainder of the game.
After squandering a halftime lead in Thursday's loss to UCLA, the Beavers were determined not to let that happen again.
"We wanted to make sure we kept our foot on the gas," Pope said. "We wanted to come out and win the first four minutes of the second half and continue on from there."
KC Ibekwe's three-point play gave Oregon State its largest lead at 64-41 midway through the second half.
Bronny James was one of the few bright spots for USC with a season-high 15 points. Playing in his fifth game since making his collegiate debut Dec. 6, James made an immediate impact.
The freshman guard entered the game at 12:17 of the first half and within seconds came up with a steal at midcourt that he converted into a three-point play.
James had another steal late in the first half, and dribbled the length of the court for a slam dunk.
James, who is the oldest son of LeBron James, was 6 of 11 from the field in a season-high 20 minutes, made two 3-pointers, and had two assists and one steal. He continues to play under a minutes restriction since suffering a cardiac arrest during practice July 24.
"Bronny gave us great energy off the bench," USC coach Andy Enfield said. "He was aggressive, he was confident and made some nice plays."
Enfield added that he's comfortable playing James more minutes "as long as he can keep that energy up. I thought he did a great job tonight."
James was not made available to the media after the game.
Boogie Ellis, who scored 20 points to lead the Trojans, also was encouraged by James' performance.
"To see what he's been through and to come back and play like this it shows how great he is," Ellis said. "
OSU led 39-30 at the break behind 11 points from Bilodeau and 10 from Pope.
Both teams committed 14 turnovers in a sloppy first half. Isaiah Collier, the Trojans' second-leading scorer, had two points and four turnovers in the opening half. He finished with seven points.
Dexter Akanno had 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting and made 3 of 3 from behind the arc for the Beavers.
BIG PICTURE
USC: The Trojans have lost five of their last six games and are off to a slow start in the Pac-12. Three straight conference home games should help.
Oregon State: Oregon State is just two wins away from matching last season's total.
UP NEXT
USC: The Trojans will host California on Wednesday.
Oregon State: The Beavers will be at Washington State on Thursday

Exploring 2024: From Historical Commemorations to Off-the-Beaten-Path Destinations
As the clock strikes midnight, marking the onset of 2024, globetrotters are already scouting their next exciting sojourns. A recent report by the United Nations’ World Tourism Organization indicates an upturn in international tourist arrivals, signaling a resurgence close to pre-pandemic levels. Countries such as Italy, Germany, the United States, and notably, the United Kingdom, have witnessed a significant rise in outbound international travel.
Destinations for History Buffs and Royal Enthusiasts
For those intrigued by historical events, Normandy is set to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, a significant event in World War II. On another continent, Australia has garnered attention following the recent visit by King Charles, making it a must-visit for royal enthusiasts.
Off-the-Beaten-Path Getaways
For those seeking a unique travel experience, Rodrigues, Mauritius’ lesser-known island, offers an intriguing destination. Botswana’s recently established safari camps provide an optimal opportunity to witness the annual Okavango Delta floods, a natural spectacle that leaves visitors spellbound.
Celebrations in Scotland and Austria
In Scotland, the city of Stirling is all set to celebrate its 900th year, while Exmoor, known for its tranquil beauty and historical relevance, marks its 70th year as a national park. In a first, the European Union’s Capital of Culture for 2024 has been awarded to a rural region – the Bad Ischl and Salzkammergut region in Austria. The region is planning over 180 events to celebrate its heritage, crafts, and culture, and to address the challenges faced by rural areas in competing with urban centers.
New Trends in Travel
The Kenya Tourism Board has identified key factors that will drive travel trends in 2024. Key among them are the abolition of visa requirements for visitors, the rise of wellness and experiential travel, and the digital transformation of tourism processes. In addition, ‘slow travel’ within one country is predicted to gain popularity, with countries in Asia and the Pacific, such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Japan, gaining traction.

This is a tough read, but a necessary and important one.
The things Hamas did in Israel on 10/7, and continues to do needs a spotlight shined on it. Especially because so many people deny this is happening or say the Israeli men and women who have been injured, raped, and killed by terrorists somehow deserve it.
We'll warn you: this is graphic and disturbing, and not exactly something that will put you in the holiday mood, but the world must know.
The first victim she said she saw was a young woman with copper-color hair, blood running down her back, pants pushed down to her knees. One man pulled her by the hair and made her bend over. Another penetrated her, Sapir said, and every time she flinched, he plunged a knife into…

Kudos to the New York Times for writing this piece:
At first, she was known simply as “the woman in the black dress.”
In a grainy video, you can see her, lying on her back, dress torn, legs spread, vagina exposed. Her face is burned beyond recognition and her right hand covers her eyes.
The video was shot in the early hours of Oct. 8 by a woman searching for a missing friend at the site of the rave in southern Israel where, the day before, Hamas terrorists massacred hundreds of young Israelis.
The video went viral, with thousands of people responding, desperate to know if the woman in the black dress was their missing friend, sister or daughter.
One family knew exactly who she was — Gal Abdush, mother of two from a working-class town in central Israel, who disappeared from the rave that night with her husband.
As the terrorists closed in on her, trapped on a highway in a line of cars of people trying to flee the party, she sent one final WhatsApp message to her family: “You don’t understand.”
Based largely on the video evidence — which was verified by The New York Times — Israeli police officials said they believed that Ms. Abdush was raped, and she has become a symbol of the horrors visited upon Israeli women and girls during the Oct. 7 attacks.
This is horrific.
Where is the 'Me Too' crowd? The feminists? The Left who scream 'rape culture' whenever a man even looks at a woman?
Why are they silent or -- worse -- denying this?
We all know why.
This is why the complaints and outrage from the Palestinians and their supporters hold no significance. I hope Israel remains strong and steafast and punishes everyone who played a part in this.
— Hiring (@Hiring) December 28, 2023
We hope so, too.
The commie leftists in your replies here wept and screamed at the obviously bogus stories about Brett Kavanaugh from 40 years prior, but are suddenly STEADFASTLY skeptical about first hand accounts of the most brutal rapes imaginable that happened less than two months ago.…
— Tanner Gregory (@TGhm1975) December 28, 2023
This is a very, very good point.
It also ties into what we said above: the same people who tripped over themselves to believe any rape accusation against a Republican (like Brett Kavanaugh) are now looking for evidence beyond video and eyewitness testimony. It's incredible to watch, but not unsurprising.
I don’t have words to describe how horrific and vile this is. May these victims rest in piece.
— Just Carmen (@Carmen50) December 28, 2023
Maybe the men who did this rot in the most horrific way possible.
Yes, may they rot.
And may the victims rest in peace.
And u kno what many in my queer community tell me? “Don’t send me this stuff it’s triggering” code for “ I am pro Hamas” I did not stop and was then called a “bully” — amazing Jews who fight back are “ bullies” Dara Horn spot on w her chilling book “ people love dead Jews”

A 'bully' for sharing this? Wow.
That was horrifying to read, but everyone should read it. Gaza should be a parking lot.

It is beyond comprehension.
These atrocities were performed by the *government* and *military* of Gaza in violation of a cease-fire in an attack on Israel...

Gaza declared NOT JUST war on Israel on Oct 7th, they declared a war of cowardice and monstrosity of the worst kind...
It was the worst kind.
For all the people screaming about a ceasefire, there was one in place on October 6.
Who broke it?
Hamas.
And now they're facing the consequences of their actions.
Countdown to the Hamas apologists moving the goalposts on this again in 3, 2, 1...
— David Pivtorak (@piv4law) December 28, 2023
Oh, they'll undoubtedly move the goalposts again. And again. Anything to defend the evils of Hamas.

Yes, they should. They should be made to watch the footage.
Read all of this. This is what these demons did. How anyone can call this “resistance” is astounding. It’s pure evil. After a massacre so depraved, the authors of this act forfeit their right to exist. https://t.co/9CeGlMdjOn

The hostages are speaking out about the atrocities that Hamas committed
— Ari Hoffman (@thehoffather) December 28, 2023
This is graphic but a must read https://t.co/4zdP1jh7WZ
Remember this when the Left tells us Hamas treated the hostages so well. They didn't. They were malnourished, sick, weak, and went without proper medical care.
This is what “resistance by any means necessary” looks like https://t.co/sxZS3o36HM
— AJ-Comedy (@amiKozak) December 28, 2023
This should scare us all.
My g-d reading this crushes me and the fact that some “feminists” still want more proof and are doubting Jewish women who were brutally raped is beyond comprehension. 💔 #believewomenunlesstheyareisraeli https://t.co/MenP2ZYX06

It's infuriating and utterly disappointing.
But that's the Left for you.
Hamas’s atrocities are somehow even worse than we knew. Makes it even more sickening seeing them cheered on here and across the world. https://t.co/IEdKRzLksD
— Dan Conston (@danconston) December 29, 2023
And they are cheered on, in America, in Europe. On college campuses and in media newsrooms.
Will the feminist groups who said the stories of rape on Oct 7 were ‘Islamophobia’ or that the rape of Israeli women was being ‘weaponised’ now attack the New York Times for daring to expose the unspeakable monstrosity of the way these terrorists behaved? https://t.co/oS4uIHaQ6d
— Nicole Lampert (@nicolelampert) December 28, 2023
There's a yet-unpublished Community Note on Weiss's tweet trying to debunk the eyewitness testimony and reporting by the NYT.
We are some of the NYT's harshest critics (and let's be honest, the often deserve it). But this time they actually committed an act of journalism and should be praised.
Meanwhile, Hamas needs to be obliterated so this never, ever happens again to any person. Anywhere.

Police out in force around Michiana on New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - New Year’s Eve, also referred to as “Amateur Night” because many people are excessively drinking, can be one of the most dangerous days to drive, sober or not.
“One thing I like to recommend is to make some plans, make some arrangements with where you’re going, party-wise,” said Trooper Matt Drudge with the Indiana State Police. “If you’re going to go and have fun and be wild with your friends, turn your keys into the homeowner and spend the night there.”
Combined with New Year’s Day, there are more DUI arrests on these two days than any other two-day stretch in the entire year.
“If you need to go home for some reason, call a taxi, call an Uber, call friends or family,” Drudge said. “We all want everybody to be safe, including your friends and family; they don’t want you to get court costs or anything that could be associated with a DUI.”
And it’s not just drivers that are at risk, as according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, more passengers die in car crashes on New Year’s Eve than on any other day of the year.
“A lot of guys that have today off, they are working federal overtime to go out and do DUI traffic enforcement, because we know there’s such a heavy congestion of people out and about,” Drudge said. “We have a very hefty amount of officers, not just state police but local, city, and county that are out patrolling.”
So, if you are ringing in 2024 with some refreshments, chase your drinks instead of chasing taillights.
“There’s no better way to enjoy the New Year than to have fun with your friends and family, go to sleep at the end of the night, and open your eyes to 2024 without being in a jail cell,” Drudge said.
From all of us at WNDU, stay safe and have a very Happy New Year.

This hasn't been the same-old season for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Nevertheless, the Chiefs are the same-old rulers of the AFC West.
The Chiefs clinched their eighth consecutive division title with their 25-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, along with a ninth straight playoff berth and an opening-round home game.
"It was a good game to get," head coach Andy Reid said after the game. "It was great to have the guys that have a championship -- with the AFC West. That's a positive thing. I know how they are; they are not going to rest on that. It is exciting for them to get a taste, especially, the new guys. Again, I'm proud of the whole situation there."
Under Reid, Kansas City has now made the playoffs in 10 of 11 seasons. The Chiefs' eight-season run of division titles is second all-time, having broken a tie with the Rams (1973-1979). They now trail only the New England Patriots dynasty's 11 consecutive crowns from 2009-2019. The nine consecutive postseason appearances stand as the longest active streak in the league.
Kansas City is amid a historic run for the ages, rife with divisional and postseason success.
However, the Patrick Mahomes-led offense has put forth uncharacteristically low offensive production this time around. Ahead of Sunday's game, the Chiefs were averaging their fewest points and yards per game in the Mahomes era, which began in 2018 when he took over as the team's starting quarterback.
"It's definitely special. It always is though," Mahomes said after clinching the AFC West title. "I mean it's really cool to win the AFC West, but obviously dealing with some adverse situations over these last few weeks. For guys to respond it's a good football team and find a way to win -- even when the game wasn't going our way at the beginning. It was special. I told the guys to celebrate it, enjoy it but our goal is to obviously continue to win and we need to build off this momentum to get ready for the playoffs."
Nevertheless, the results have largely remained the same.
With another division title in the history books, the Chiefs will now set their sights on reaching a sixth consecutive AFC Championship Game.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — LeBron James thought he added to his legacy with another big shot on his 39th birthday.
The NBA’s replay center had a different view, causing James to call out the league’s replay process.
James made what he believed was a game-tying 3-pointer with 3.3 seconds remaining as the Los Angeles Lakers were playing on the road against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the top team in the Western Conference.
However, it was ruled a 2-pointer and upheld via replay from the league’s replay center in Secaucus, New Jersey, and the Lakers lost 108-106 on Saturday night.
“It’s obviously a 3,” James said. “My foot is behind the line. I mean, you can see the space between the front of my foot and the 3-point line. You can clearly see a white, the wood on the floor, there’s a space in between the front of my foot and the 3-point line. So, you know, Stevie Wonder can see that, champ.”
James, who spent the day in bed with a non-COVID-19 illness, scored 26 points, 10 in the fourth quarter. But it was his shot, and the subsequent replay, that caused his ire toward the league’s replay center.
“They said it was out of their hands,” James said of the explanation he got from officials. “The Secaucus, whatever, over there in the replay center or whatever, somebody over there eating a ham sandwich or somebody made the call.”
In a pool report after the game, official Tony Brothers said the review wasn’t conclusive enough to overturn the call on the floor.
“The play was ruled a 2-point field goal on the floor during live play,” Brothers said. “After video review, there wasn’t clear and conclusive evidence to overturn it from a 2 to a 3, and that’s why it stood as a 2-point field goal.”
James felt the video evidence was clear enough. As soon as Brothers announced the ruling to the in-arena crowd, James immediately went to the scorer’s table and pointed to the replay monitor.
“It’s super frustrating in the sense of what the hell we got a replay for?” James said. “What do we have replay for if even the replay gets it wrong? It’s like, who’s the part of the replay center? Like, do we got robots in there that’s making the Teslas? What’s going on? If you don’t see that, that is clear, that is clear.”
The frustration came after James said he woke up with an illness and stayed in bed until 4:30 p.m. when he got ready to head to the arena.
“I took a few more naps and then I finally just got out of bed at like 4:30, got a shower,” James said. “It helped me a little bit. Caught the 5 o’clock bus and, I guess, felt OK to play. I felt I could make some plays to help us win the ballgame.”
The Lakers play Sunday afternoon for the second of a back-to-back in New Orleans. James said he was unsure if he’d be play to play Sunday and would wait to see how he feels a day later.

Fatal Freight Train Collision Disrupts Interstate Travel in South Australia
A devastating collision between a Pacific National freight train and a truck on the Barrier Highway at Bindarrah has claimed the lives of two train drivers, marking the highest annual road toll in South Australia since 2010. The catastrophic incident transpired around 10:30 AM, leading to the closure of the Barrier Highway in both directions from Peterborough to the New South Wales border, creating significant disruptions for interstate travelers.
Details of the Tragic Incident
The crash ignited a fire in the locomotive and caused several train carriages to derail, thereby obstructing the entire highway. The victims, aged 48 and 57, were employees of the rail company Pacific National, which is renowned for its serious commitment to the safety of its workers. The truck driver, a 75-year-old from Queensland, sustained minor injuries.
Investigation and Cleanup Operations
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has initiated a comprehensive investigation into the cause of the accident. In the meantime, emergency crews from New South Wales and South Australia, along with fire crews, worked tirelessly to extinguish the blaze from the diesel locomotive. Cranes are expected to be brought in to assist with the cleanup of the wreckage, which includes the train carriages and the truck loaded with avocados.
Impact on Transportation and Travel
As a result of the crash, the Barrier Highway remains closed in both directions, causing considerable delays for interstate travelers. Motorists have been advised to take alternate routes via the Silver City Highway and the Sturt Highway through Mildura, which adds at least an extra two hours of travel time. This incident is likely to have significant implications on logistical and transport operations in the area.

It's hard to imagine what it's like to live with a brain convinced there is a 'genocide' of trans people happening in the streets of Texas. Yet, that is what this woman believes. Sigh.
Texas is more dangerous than Gaza according to this young lady. Is this true? pic.twitter.com/q1Agp43IMN

She claims she cannot visit Texas as a gay woman because there is so much violence against gay people. She would have to cover her tattoos and disassociate as well. She is missing her nieces and nephews growing up and the last years of her grandmother's life because she is a gay woman and apparently believes she would be murdered if she steps foot in the state of Texas.

I don’t think this is true. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been hit on by women this last year in Texas. Shoot I went out one time with a female friend to the dance club here many months ago and half the dance floor was women dancing with other women.
— S (@whoknows547) December 31, 2023
Oh, look at that. Someone who has seen gay people in Texas living safely. It's almost like the other woman is just lying.
So this person is missing all the family milestones and events because why? Because she feels unsafe?
— MoSmith (@MoSmithHMC) December 31, 2023
She has brought this on herself for the most part.
That is the saddest part. She is missing all of these events because of some imaginary situation she has created in her mind. Can you imagine missing the last days of your grandmother's life because of some fear you have created and is not real?
My community is far safer than the community I lived in when I was in Canada. So, as long as you avoid the southern border and certain communities in the city, you’re safe. Gaza is a literal warzone that isn’t comparable.

VENTURA, Calif. (AP) — Southern California’s Ventura County issued a temporary evacuation warning Saturday for some coastal residents due to high surf that pounded the West Coast this week but has begun to calm down.
County officials warned that powerful waves, expected to reach up to 20 feet (6 meters) high, were forecast near a stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway, and the fire department told people to avoid coastal areas. Authorities lifted the evacuation warning in the afternoon.
People who gathered in the morning at Pierpont Beach in the city of Ventura to gaze at the churning waters were warned not to go beyond the large sand berms that were put up Friday to protect waterfront homes, and officials closed some streets.
Ventura Mayor Joe Schroeder called this week’s surf an “extraordinary event,” the likes of which he had not previously seen in his 14 years living in the city.
Fire department spokesperson Andy VanSciver said there were no reports Saturday of damage or injuries but the evacuation warning would remain in place until the waves recede. Earlier in the week, authorities rescued eight people who were injured by the surf.
Elsewhere along the California coast, flooding led to closures of some streets and bike paths. A high surf warning in the San Francisco Bay Area was downgraded to an advisory, with the National Weather Service saying wave heights had declined.
Some surfers took advantage of the waves in Seal Beach, a small city about 30 miles (45 kilometers) south of Los Angeles.
Miles Malohn, a 23-year-old from Irvine who has been surfing for about a decade, said it was one of the largest winter swells he has seen in years.
“It was pretty hectic out there for a few waves,” Malohn said. “You had to be really selective with which ones that you ride so that you don’t end up hurt or wiping out really bad.”

State patrol urges Ohioans to drive sober; 219 OVI arrests made last New Year’s weekend
The Ohio State Highway Patrol urges drivers who intend to celebrate the new year to plan ahead and designate a sober driver.
>> Man arrested after hours-long investigation at Moraine home
The New Year’s holiday reporting period began Friday, Dec. 29 at midnight and will end on Monday, Jan 1 at 11:59 p.m., according to a spokesperson from OSHP.
During the 2022-2023 four-day New Year’s holiday reporting period, 11 fatal crashes killed 13 people.
Of those crashes, alcohol and/or drugs were a factor in nine, the spokesperson said.
Two motorcyclists and one pedestrian were killed during the holiday reporting period.
Of the 10 fatalities where seat belts were available, eight people were not buckled up, the spokesperson said.

“When you’re ringing in the new year, remember driving impaired can have tragic and senseless consequences. If you feel different, you drive different,” OSHP Superintendent Colonel Chuck A. Jones said.
During last year’s four-day New Year’s holiday reporting period, 219 impaired-driving arrests were made, the spokesperson said.
If you see a driver that seems to be impaired or is stranded, call #677.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico and Venezuela announced Saturday that they have restarted repatriation flights of Venezuelans migrants in Mexico, the latest move by countries in the region to take on a flood of people traveling north to the United States.
The move comes as authorities say at least 10,000 migrants a day have been arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, many of them asylum seekers. It also comes as a migrant caravan of thousands of people from across the region — largely Venezuelans — has trekked through southern Mexico this week.
The repatriation flights are part of an agreement made between regional leaders during a summit in Mexico in October that aimed to seek solutions for migration levels that show few signs of slowing down.
Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Relations said the two countries began repatriations with a flight on Friday and a second on Saturday in an effort to “strengthen their cooperation on migration issues.” The statement also said the two countries plan to implement social and work programs for those repatriated to Venezuela.
“Mexico and Venezuela reiterate their commitment to address the structural causes that fuel irregular migration in the region, and to achieve a humanitarian management of such flows,” the statement read.
Mexico’s government said it previously carried out a similar repatriation flight last Jan. 20 with 110 people.
Venezuelan authorities said Saturday that 207 Venezuelans had landed in Caracas on one of the latest flights.
Gustavo Vizcaino, director of Venezuela’s migration agency, said the migrants came on a “voluntary return flight,” part of a 2018 program of President Nicolas Maduro’s government seeking to bring back Venezuelans who have fled the country’s economic and political crisis.
As migration has soared in recent years, the U.S. government has pressured Latin American nations to control the movement of migrants north, but many transit countries have struggled to deal with the quantities of people.
This week, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other Biden administration officials were in Mexico City to meet with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador about the high levels of migrants landing on the U.S.-Mexico border.
López Obrador said he also spoke about the issue in a phone call with Presient Joe Biden on Dec. 20.
“He asked — Joe Biden asked to speak with me — he was worried about the situation on the border because of the unprecedented number of migrants arriving at the border,” Mexico’s leader said. “He called me, saying we had to look for a solution together.”
López Obrador has said he is willing to help, but in exchange he wants the U.S. to send more development aid to migrants’ home countries and to reduce or eliminate sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela.
Mexico’s president and other critics of American foreign policy have cited the sanctions on Cuba and Venezuela as one of the root causes of high migration.

After a one-year hiatus, the Rams are back in the postseason.
Los Angeles clinched a wild-card playoff spot on Sunday following the Seattle Seahawks' 30-23 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Doing so was also made possible by the Rams' 26-25 victory over the New York Giants earlier in the day, the team's third straight win and sixth of its last seven.
Once an afterthought in the playoff formula, sitting at 3-6 after nine weeks, the Rams have transformed since their Week 10 bye into a team that should strike fear into any contender.
Matthew Stafford has been resurgent, a return to form sparked by Cooper Kupp's availability after missing the first month of the season and fifth-round rookie Puka Nacua's meteoric rise. Kyren Williams has delivered Los Angeles its first 1,000-yard rusher since 2018, and seven-time All-Pro Aaron Donald has brought along a defense that was shedding salary ahead of the season.
This marks the team's fifth playoff trip in seven years under Sean McVay.
The most recent of those ended in a Super Bowl LVI triumph during the 2021 season, something McVay and Co. have now taken a step closer to repeating two years later.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Kirby Smart didn’t need to do much to convince his Georgia Bulldogs of the importance of the Orange Bowl.
“As long as winning matters, we’re gonna compete like hell at Georgia,” Smart said.
The Bulldogs entered Saturday night’s matchup against Florida State essentially at full strength. The Seminoles, who were missing at least a dozen of their key contributors because of opt outs and players in the transfer portal, did not.
The result was what you might expect: The sixth-ranked Bulldogs crushed previously undefeated and fourth-ranked Florida State 63-3 in the Orange Bowl in a matchup of teams missing out on the College Football Playoff.
Smart said the result of the game was indicative of a larger problem in the sport.
“People need to see what happened tonight, and they need to fix this,” he said. “It needs to be fixed. It’s very unfortunate that they (the Seminoles), who have a good football team, are in the position they’re in. Everybody can say it’s their fault. Everybody can say that we had our guys and they didn’t have their guys. I can listen to all that. But college football has got to decide what they want.
“It’s really unfortunate for those kids on that side of the sideline that had to play in that game that didn’t have their full arsenal. And it affected the game, 100 percent.”
Carson Beck passed for 203 yards and two touchdowns and backup QB Gunnar Stockton passed for two more scores for Georgia, which scored touchdowns on nine of 12 drives and gained 673 total yards against the short-handed Seminoles.
The Bulldogs (13-1) were used to competing for championships this time of year, having won the last two national titles. But Georgia lost to Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship game — the Bulldogs’ first loss since the 2021 season — and missed out on one of the four spots in the CFP rankings. Instead, they settled for the seventh New Year’s Six bowl appearance in program history.
Florida State (13-1) failed to make the CFP cut despite winning the Atlantic Coast Conference title, and because of transfers, opt-outs and injuries, the Seminoles were without players who were responsible for 97% of their passing yards, 88% of their rushing yards and 84% of their receptions this season.
The Bulldogs charged out to a 39-point halftime lead, the largest in the bowl’s 90-year history, beating West Virginia’s 29-point halftime lead over Clemson in 2012. It was also the largest margin of defeat in Florida State’s history.
Beck, who had touchdown passes of 12 and 2 yards, did not play in the second half. Stockton, a freshman, started in the third quarter and immediately ushered another touchdown drive. He finished with 96 yards passing and 46 yards rushing, and the Bulldogs became the first program to score at least 55 points in back-to-back bowl games.
The Bulldogs’ Kendall Milton was the game’s MVP after rushing for 104 yards on nine carries with two touchdowns. Daijun Edwards added two more rushing scores and 62 yards. Both were part of a senior class that picked up its school-record 50th win.
“You want to take every game serious no matter what the level is,” Milton said. “You’ve got to prepare the right way because this is top level college football on any given week, so we took that very personally.”
In what could be his last game for the Bulldogs, receiver Ladd McConkey had 49 all-purpose yards. He scored on a 27-yard rush in which he caught a pass from Beck behind the line of scrimmage, looked to complete another pass but took off running instead, weaving through stumbling Florida State defenders and into the end zone to put Georgia up 28-3 in the second quarter.
Georgia players knew the story of the team on the other side of the field: The Seminoles entered the game having beaten all 13 teams on their schedule, including then-No. 15 Louisville in the ACC title game, but were left out of the College Football Playoff partly due to a season-ending leg injury to starting quarterback Jordan Travis. Florida State became the first Power Five conference champion to finish with an undefeated record and still be left out of the playoff.
“This is a championship level team,” Florida State coach Mike Norvell said. “You go back and watch 13 games and that’s who you saw. I am fully confident in what this team did throughout this year and what they could have achieved. It was not the path that was set out for us. … We’ll never know.”
In the week leading up to the bowl game, Georgia players expressed their understanding of the Seminoles’ frustrations, while acknowledging that they, too, felt slighted.
Smart had lobbied for the selection committee to consider the Bulldogs’ full resume in making their final decision: Georgia won 29 straight games before the SEC title matchup and finished the season with the eighth-best offense in the country and the No. 9 defense.
It wasn’t enough. And the Bulldogs vented frustrations in the Orange Bowl — possession by possession.
THE TAKEAWAY
Georgia: As dominant as the Bulldogs were on offense, their defense was just as impactful. They intercepted Seminoles quarterback Brock Glenn twice and recovered two fumbles. They also limited Florida State to 63 yards rushing.
Florida State: The Seminoles were outmatched in all three phases as they fell short of completing their first 14-win season since 2013. Glenn struggled in his second career start, completing 9 of 26 passes for 139 yards.
UP NEXT
Georgia: The Bulldogs open the 2024 season against Clemson in Atlanta. Beck is returning for his senior season.
Florida State: The Seminoles will start the 2024 season against Georgia Tech in Dublin, Ireland, marking the second time that two ACC teams have opened the season in Ireland.

Foxtel Takes on Streaming Giants With Sky Glass Launch
In a strategic move to compete with leading streaming platforms, Australia’s Foxtel has launched Sky Glass, an innovative smart TV service. The new offering, dubbed ‘Project Magneto’, seamlessly integrates free-to-air, internet, and subscription services into a single interface. Sky Glass, first introduced by Foxtel’s sister organization, Sky UK, in 2021, represents the latest attempt by Foxtel to stake a claim in the fiercely competitive streaming market.
Pushing Boundaries with Sky Glass
In an industry dominated by giants like Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon, Foxtel’s Sky Glass seeks to differentiate itself through unique features and an all-inclusive subscription model. The smart TV, available in three sizes and five colors, offers an integrated 4K UHD viewing experience. Users can access a multitude of streaming services over WiFi, with the added convenience of a built-in Dolby Atmos speaker system. A motion sensor for automatic activation further enhances the user experience. However, it is important to note that despite the comprehensive nature of the Sky Glass service, a separate Sky subscription is required to access content.
Foxtel’s Competitive Struggle
Foxtel, which is 65% owned by News Corp and 35% by Telstra, has had a mixed track record in the streaming market. The company has historically found it challenging to replicate the success of its sports services in other video streaming ventures. With the introduction of Sky Glass, Foxtel is essentially at a crossroads. It must determine whether it can sustain its proprietary pay-TV service amidst the onslaught of digital streaming platforms.
Expert Insights
Paul Budde, an expert telecommunication’s analyst and columnist at Independent Australia, sheds light on Foxtel’s strategic maneuvers and the potential of the Sky Glass service. He believes that Foxtel’s new offering could be a game-changer, but also acknowledges the challenges the company faces in a rapidly evolving market.

Pittsburgh's postseason aspirations remain unsettled, but Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has extended his record-setting streak for consistent success.
Tomlin has now begun his career with a record 17 straight non-losing seasons following the Steelers' win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Pittsburgh improved its record to 9-7 and clinched a winning campaign, the 14th of Tomlin's career.
Along with Tomlin's individual success, Pittsburgh has now registered its 20th consecutive season of .500 or better, which harkens back to the final years of Hall of Famer Bill Cowher's tenure on the sidelines. The streak is the second-longest in NFL history, trailing the Dallas Cowboys' 21-season streak from 1965-1985.
Hall of Fame head coach Tom Landry was with Dallas for the duration of the aforementioned run, and his mark of 21 consecutive non-losing seasons stands as the most all-time, ahead of Bill Belichick with the New England Patriots at 19 (2001-2019) and Tomlin at 17, from 2007 through Sunday.

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Pistons ended their NBA record-tying losing streak at 28 games with a 129-127 victory over the short-handed Toronto Raptors on Saturday night, as Cade Cunningham had 30 points and 12 assists.
The Pistons, who hadn’t won since Oct. 28, matched the Philadelphia 76ers’ record of 28, split over the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. They finished one shy of the record for the four major American and Canadian leagues, set by the Chicago Cardinals during World War II.
“I feel amazing,” Cunningham said. “We just kept battling. It’s been a long stretch, all these losses, but I’m just happy to be part of a group of guys who don’t quit.”
Jalen Duren had 18 points and 17 rebounds for Detroit (3-29) while Kevin Knox II scored 17 points.
“I’m just so happy we were able to get that,” Duren said. “We’ve been fighting hard for a couple of months to get one, and we’ve been through a lot of adversity.”
Pascal Siakam had 35 points and Dennis Schroder scored 28 for Toronto, which was playing the second half of a back-to-back. The Raptors traded OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn to the New York Knicks earlier in the day. They received RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, but they were not available on Saturday.
“It was a very emotional day for everyone,” Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said. “I’m really proud of the energy our guys had, taking everything into account.
“I also don’t want to take anything away from what Detroit did. They played a really good game and hit some very, very timely shots.”
The Pistons led 90-86 going into the fourth and neither team was able to put together a run until back-to-back 3-pointers by Cunningham and Jaden Ivey made it 110-99 with 5:50 to go.
Toronto responded with an 8-2 run, including six points from Scottie Barnes, but Cunningham’s jumper made it 114-107 and the Pistons got three straight stops against Siakam. Another jumper by Cunningham moved the margin to nine with 1:34 to play.
Siakam’s 3-pointer made it 126-122 with 17 seconds left, but the Pistons clinched the game from the line. Gary Trent Jr. hit a 3-pointer with a second left, but the celebration was already beginning.
“I’ve been in a ton of locker rooms my whole life, but that’s a first for me,” Pistons coach Monty Williams said. “Guys were screaming. I was almost in tears. I’m just so happy for our guys and for everyone in the locker room.”
The Raptors trailed by eight points at halftime, but Siakam and Trent scored 24 points in eight minutes to put Toronto ahead 75-74. Siakam finished with 20 of Toronto’s 42 points in the quarter, and more importantly, drove Cunningham to the bench with four fouls.
“I challenged both (Siakam) and Scottie at halftime,” Rajakovic said. “I told them that we needed more from them in the second half, and they both did a really good job.”
The Raptors scored 83 points in the second half after only putting up 44 in the first.
“We missed some free throws and we missed a bunch of layups that we usually make,” Rajakovic said.

Raptors: Host Cleveland on Monday night.
Pistons: At Houston on Monday night.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones tip-toed around talk of their acrimonious split almost 30 years ago, when they had just teamed as coach and owner to win consecutive Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys.
Whether that breakup was the reason it took Jones so long to put Johnson in the team’s ring of honor doesn’t matter much at this point to both Pro Football Hall of Famers.
The bottom line is Johnson is joining Tom Landry as the only coaches alongside the 19 players and two executives in the exclusive group of one of the NFL’s storied franchises.
Johnson was greeted by the Hall of Fame “Triplets” who headlined his Super Bowl teams — quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith and receiver Michael Irvin — for the ceremony at halftime of Saturday night’s regular-season home finale against the Detroit Lions.
“Thank you, Jerry Jones, for bringing me to the Dallas Cowboys,” Johnson told the crowd.
Johnson capped his acceptance speech with a dramatic pause as he walked up to Irvin, turned and offered his famous catchphrase, “How ’bout them Cowboys!” He said it the first time in the locker room after Dallas won at San Francisco in the NFC championship game before the first Super Bowl victory.
“You can say whatever you want to about my human reaction or frailties,” Jones said before the game. “I say this today, he’s there because it’s the right thing. He was always going in the ring of honor, whether I put him in or my kids put him in.”
One of the theories behind the abrupt end of Johnson’s tenure in 1994 was a tussle over who should get credit for the dramatic turnaround in Dallas.
The Cowboys went from 1-15 in 1989 — the year Jones bought the Cowboys and hired Johnson after firing the only coach Dallas ever had in Landry — to the first back-to-back Super Bowl titles in franchise history to cap the 1992 and ’93 seasons.
“I think we’re past who gets credit,” Johnson said. “The two of us, working together, made history. When I say working together, we talked every single day. I don’t ever recall us having a difference of opinion.”
Others would suggest Johnson’s take is revisionist history, because he was incensed 30 years ago over suggestions from Jones, also the team’s general manager, that any one of 500 coaches could have won a title with the Dallas roster.
Barry Switzer did it two years after the split of Jones and Johnson, who were teammates at Arkansas in the early 1960s. But critics never stopped suggesting the 1995 title was with Johnson’s players, and the Cowboys haven’t even reached an NFC championship game since that season.
Aikman was working the game as an analyst for ESPN and hustled down from the broadcast booth to join the ceremony. He stood with Irvin and Smith during the presentation, which started with Johnson walking through a greeting line of dozens of players from his Super Bowl run.
“It means everything to me and my teammates and everybody that was a part of those teams,” Aikman said on ESPN during the first half. “And the circle has been closed tonight at halftime.”
After two years away from football, Johnson returned with the Miami Dolphins in 1996 and led them to the playoffs the last three of his four seasons. But Miami never got past the divisional round.
The 80-year-old Johnson, a Texas native, has been a Fox studio analyst the past two decades and was enshrined in Canton, Ohio, in 2020, three years after Jones.
Now Johnson’s name will be inside AT&T Stadium along with Landry, who led the Cowboys to two Super Bowl titles in the 1970s and is fifth on the career list with 250 regular-season victories.
“I don’t think anybody can ever imagine what this means to me,” said Johnson, who won the 1987 college national championship at Miami. “This was a special time in my life. This was something that paid dividends for me the rest of my life. We took over the worst football team in the NFL. Not only did we win Super Bowls, but we were able to put together the team of the ’90s.”
Because of that, the split left many, including Johnson’s players, wondering what might have been had he stayed. Not only is Johnson past the question of credit, he doesn’t think much about “what ifs” either.
“Sometimes I’m kind of like a gypsy,” Johnson said. “I’ve never been anywhere more than five years. Got the point after winning a couple of Super Bowls, almost to the point of, ‘I’ve accomplished what I want to accomplish.’ Sometimes you lose sight of what you can do because of what you’ve already done.”
Johnson suggested he and Jones weren’t communicating as well at the end of their time together in Dallas as they had at the beginning, when they both faced a firestorm of criticism.
Jones suggested he let the sudden success of the Cowboys go to his head.
“What Jimmy brings is a lot of the best of me, enthusiasm, what have you,” Jones recalled telling his parents just before the split became public in 1994. “When it’s going the other way, I don’t like myself. It’s taking away from it. That mentality probably caused me to be not as tolerant as maybe we could have gone.”
A sense of closure for many of those issues was coming a few hours later.

Global New Year Celebrations Usher in 2024 with Spectacular Fireworks
As the world bid adieu to 2023 and joyously welcomed the New Year, cities across the globe erupted in spectacular fireworks displays and public gatherings. As the clock struck midnight in each time zone, a ripple of celebration ignited around the world, each city adding its unique flair to the global tableau of festivity.
A Symphony of Fireworks
From the effervescent skyline of Hong Kong where the New Year was greeted with a burst of pyrotechnics over the traditionally favored Victoria Harbour, to Bangkok, Thailand, where the sky over the Grand Palace was illuminated with fireworks, the spirit of celebration was ubiquitous.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Venezuela said Saturday it will continue to deploy nearly 6,000 troops until a British military vessel sent to neighboring Guyana leaves the waters off the coast of the two South American nations.
In a video posted to X, Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino appeared surrounded by military officers in front of a marked up map of Venezuela and Guyana, a former British colony.
Padrdino said the forces are “safeguarding our national sovereignty.”
“Armed forces have been deployed not just in the east of the country, but across the entire territory,” he said. “They will be there until this British imperialist boat leaves the disputed waters between Venezuela and Guyana.”
The Defense Ministry confirmed to The Associated Press that the video was made at a military base in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas.
The video comes after weeks of tensions between the two countries over Venezuela’s renewed claim to a region in Guyana known as Essequibo, a sparsely populated stretch of land roughly the size of Florida that is rich in oil and minerals. Operations generate some $1 billion a year for the impoverished country of nearly 800,000 people that saw its economy expand by nearly 60% in the first half of this year.
Venezuela has long argued it was cheated out of the territory when Europeans and the U.S. set the border. Guayana, which has controlled the zone for decades, says the original agreement was legally binding and the dispute should be decided by the International Court of Justice in the Netherlands.
The century-old dispute was recently reignited with the discovery of oil in Guyana, and has escalated since Venezuela reported that its citizens voted in a Dec. 3 referendum to claim Essequibo, which makes up two-thirds of its smaller neighbor.
Critics of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro say the socialist leader is using the tensions to distract from internal turmoil and stoke nationalism in the lead up to presidential elections next year.
In recent weeks, the leaders of Guyana and Venezuela promised in a tense meeting that neither side would use threats or force against the other, but failed to reach agreement on how to address the bitter dispute.
Tensions came to another head with Friday’s arrival in Guyana of the Royal Navy patrol ship HMS Trent, which officials said had been taking part in an operation combatting drug smuggling in the Caribbean near the coast of Guyana. Most recently used to intercept pirates and drug smugglers off Africa, the ship is equipped with cannons and a landing pad for helicopters and drones and can carry around 50 marines.
Maduro said the ship’s deployment violates the shaky agreement between Venezuela and Guyana, calling its presence a threat to his country. In response, Maduro ordered Venezuela’s military — including air and naval forces — to conduct exercises near the disputed area.
“We believe in diplomacy, in dialogue and in peace, but no one is going to threaten Venezuela,” Maduro said. “This is an unacceptable threat to any sovereign country in Latin America.”
Guyana’s government rejected Maduro’s claims, with officials saying that the visit was a planned activity aimed at improving the nation’s defense capabilities and that the ship’s visit would continue as scheduled.
During talks earlier in December, Guyanese President Irfaan Ali said his nation reserved its right to work with partners to ensure the defense of his country. Guyana has a military of only 3,000 soldiers, 200 sailors and four small patrol boats known as Barracudas, while Venezuela has about 235,000 active military personnel in its army, air force, navy and national guard.
“Nothing that we do or have done is threatening Venezuela,” Guyana’s vice president, Bharrat Jagdeo, told reporters in Georgetown, the nation’s capital.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico and Venezuela announced Saturday that they have restarted repatriation flights of Venezuelans migrants in Mexico, the latest move by countries in the region to take on a flood of people traveling north to the United States.
The move comes as authorities say at least 10,000 migrants a day have been arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, many of them asylum seekers. It also comes as a migrant caravan of thousands of people from across the region — largely Venezuelans — has trekked through southern Mexico this week.
The repatriation flights are part of an agreement made between regional leaders during a summit in Mexico in October that aimed to seek solutions for migration levels that show few signs of slowing down.
Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Relations said the two countries began repatriations with a flight on Friday and a second on Saturday in an effort to “strengthen their cooperation on migration issues.” The statement also said the two countries plan to implement social and work programs for those repatriated to Venezuela.
“Mexico and Venezuela reiterate their commitment to address the structural causes that fuel irregular migration in the region, and to achieve a humanitarian management of such flows,” the statement read.
Mexico’s government said it previously carried out a similar repatriation flight last Jan. 20 with 110 people.
Venezuelan authorities said Saturday that 207 Venezuelans had landed in Caracas on one of the latest flights.
Gustavo Vizcaino, director of Venezuela’s migration agency, said the migrants came on a “voluntary return flight,” part of a 2018 program of President Nicolas Maduro’s government seeking to bring back Venezuelans who have fled the country’s economic and political crisis.
As migration has soared in recent years, the U.S. government has pressured Latin American nations to control the movement of migrants north, but many transit countries have struggled to deal with the quantities of people.
This week, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other Biden administration officials were in Mexico City to meet with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador about the high levels of migrants landing on the U.S.-Mexico border.
López Obrador said he also spoke about the issue in a phone call with Presient Joe Biden on Dec. 20.
“He asked — Joe Biden asked to speak with me — he was worried about the situation on the border because of the unprecedented number of migrants arriving at the border,” Mexico’s leader said. “He called me, saying we had to look for a solution together.”
López Obrador has said he is willing to help, but in exchange he wants the U.S. to send more development aid to migrants’ home countries and to reduce or eliminate sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela.
Mexico’s president and other critics of American foreign policy have cited the sanctions on Cuba and Venezuela as one of the root causes of high migration.

Heartbreaking Drowning of Two Children Shakes Perth Community
In a distressing incident that has left a community in shock and sorrow, two seven-year-old children tragically drowned in Perth’s Swan River near Burswood on the last Sunday of the year. The victims, a boy and a girl from different families, were discovered unresponsive in the water near the Camfield around 5 pm. Despite the commendable efforts of emergency crews from St. John WA, the young lives could not be saved.
Heroic Efforts in Vain
On receiving the emergency call, nine units from St. John WA, including critical care paramedics, rushed to the scene. The young victims were swiftly rescued from the water and immediate resuscitation efforts were initiated. Despite the heroic efforts, the condition of the children was deemed critical. They were rushed to Perth Children’s Hospital for further medical attention, where they tragically succumbed to their conditions.
A Community in Mourning
The sorrowful incident has cast a somber shadow on the community as the year draws to a close. The untimely passing of the young children has left their families, friends, and well-wishers grappling with the devastating loss. The shocking event has served as a stark reminder of the dangers associated with water bodies and has stressed the importance of vigilant supervision of children near such areas.
Investigating the Tragedy
The specifics of how the children ended up in the river remain unclear. Authorities have initiated investigations to understand the circumstances leading to this tragedy. It is hoped that the conclusions drawn from this incident will help prevent similar occurrences in the future.

VENTURA, Calif. (AP) — Southern California’s Ventura County issued a temporary evacuation warning Saturday for some coastal residents due to high surf that pounded the West Coast this week but has begun to calm down.
County officials warned that powerful waves, expected to reach up to 20 feet (6 meters) high, were forecast near a stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway, and the fire department told people to avoid coastal areas. Authorities lifted the evacuation warning in the afternoon.
People who gathered in the morning at Pierpont Beach in the city of Ventura to gaze at the churning waters were warned not to go beyond the large sand berms that were put up Friday to protect waterfront homes, and officials closed some streets.
Ventura Mayor Joe Schroeder called this week’s surf an “extraordinary event,” the likes of which he had not previously seen in his 14 years living in the city.
Fire department spokesperson Andy VanSciver said there were no reports Saturday of damage or injuries but the evacuation warning would remain in place until the waves recede. Earlier in the week, authorities rescued eight people who were injured by the surf.
Elsewhere along the California coast, flooding led to closures of some streets and bike paths. A high surf warning in the San Francisco Bay Area was downgraded to an advisory, with the National Weather Service saying wave heights had declined.
Some surfers took advantage of the waves in Seal Beach, a small city about 30 miles (45 kilometers) south of Los Angeles.
Miles Malohn, a 23-year-old from Irvine who has been surfing for about a decade, said it was one of the largest winter swells he has seen in years.
“It was pretty hectic out there for a few waves,” Malohn said. “You had to be really selective with which ones that you ride so that you don’t end up hurt or wiping out really bad.”

Melbourne Prepares for Grand New Year’s Eve Celebration, Braces for Massive Crowds
As the world holds its breath in anticipation of 2024, Melbourne is gearing up for a massive New Year’s Eve celebration, with more than 400,000 people expected to flood the city’s central business district. The City of Melbourne is pulling out all stops for a spectacular $4.4 million event, promising a sky ablaze with fireworks and a sea of sparkling hats under the theme ‘All that sparkles’.
The Lessons of the Past
Drawing from the lessons of the previous year, when pedestrians were trapped in a tunnel, the city is taking stringent measures to manage foot traffic and prevent overcrowding. This includes restricting public access to the underpass and shutting down train stations in the city loop right before the stroke of midnight. Revelers will instead be directed to Southern Cross or Flinders Street stations.
A Strong Police Presence
Victoria Police are preparing for a significant presence in the city, deploying specialist teams and exercising additional powers under the Control of Weapons Act. Random bag checks will be conducted in designated areas such as Melbourne’s CBD, St Kilda foreshore, and Geelong CBD. The police have issued a stern warning against carrying weapons, and several streets will be closed for crowd management.
Choosing to Celebrate at Home
While the public festivities will attract their fair share of revelers, some, like Bec Jones and Rita Alsabti, prefer to bid farewell to 2023 from the comfort of their homes. For others, like Mitch Lederman, the New Year’s Eve celebration is a beacon of hope, lighting the way for a better year after a decidedly challenging 2023.

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Pistons ended their NBA record-tying losing streak at 28 games with a 129-127 victory over the short-handed Toronto Raptors on Saturday night, as Cade Cunningham had 30 points and 12 assists.
The Pistons, who hadn’t won since Oct. 28, matched the Philadelphia 76ers’ record of 28, split over the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. They finished one shy of the record for the four major American and Canadian leagues, set by the Chicago Cardinals during World War II.
“I feel amazing,” Cunningham said. “We just kept battling. It’s been a long stretch, all these losses, but I’m just happy to be part of a group of guys who don’t quit.”
Jalen Duren had 18 points and 17 rebounds for Detroit (3-29) while Kevin Knox II scored 17 points.
“I’m just so happy we were able to get that,” Duren said. “We’ve been fighting hard for a couple of months to get one, and we’ve been through a lot of adversity.”
Pascal Siakam had 35 points and Dennis Schroder scored 28 for Toronto, which was playing the second half of a back-to-back. The Raptors traded OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn to the New York Knicks earlier in the day. They received RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, but they were not available on Saturday.
“It was a very emotional day for everyone,” Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said. “I’m really proud of the energy our guys had, taking everything into account.
“I also don’t want to take anything away from what Detroit did. They played a really good game and hit some very, very timely shots.”
The Pistons led 90-86 going into the fourth and neither team was able to put together a run until back-to-back 3-pointers by Cunningham and Jaden Ivey made it 110-99 with 5:50 to go.
Toronto responded with an 8-2 run, including six points from Scottie Barnes, but Cunningham’s jumper made it 114-107 and the Pistons got three straight stops against Siakam. Another jumper by Cunningham moved the margin to nine with 1:34 to play.
Siakam’s 3-pointer made it 126-122 with 17 seconds left, but the Pistons clinched the game from the line. Gary Trent Jr. hit a 3-pointer with a second left, but the celebration was already beginning.
“I’ve been in a ton of locker rooms my whole life, but that’s a first for me,” Pistons coach Monty Williams said. “Guys were screaming. I was almost in tears. I’m just so happy for our guys and for everyone in the locker room.”
The Raptors trailed by eight points at halftime, but Siakam and Trent scored 24 points in eight minutes to put Toronto ahead 75-74. Siakam finished with 20 of Toronto’s 42 points in the quarter, and more importantly, drove Cunningham to the bench with four fouls.
“I challenged both (Siakam) and Scottie at halftime,” Rajakovic said. “I told them that we needed more from them in the second half, and they both did a really good job.”
The Raptors scored 83 points in the second half after only putting up 44 in the first.
“We missed some free throws and we missed a bunch of layups that we usually make,” Rajakovic said.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones tip-toed around talk of their acrimonious split almost 30 years ago, when they had just teamed as coach and owner to win consecutive Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys.
Whether that breakup was the reason it took Jones so long to put Johnson in the team’s ring of honor doesn’t matter much at this point to both Pro Football Hall of Famers.
The bottom line is Johnson is joining Tom Landry as the only coaches alongside the 19 players and two executives in the exclusive group of one of the NFL’s storied franchises.
Johnson was greeted by the Hall of Fame “Triplets” who headlined his Super Bowl teams — quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith and receiver Michael Irvin — for the ceremony at halftime of Saturday night’s regular-season home finale against the Detroit Lions.
“Thank you, Jerry Jones, for bringing me to the Dallas Cowboys,” Johnson told the crowd.
Johnson capped his acceptance speech with a dramatic pause as he walked up to Irvin, turned and offered his famous catchphrase, “How ’bout them Cowboys!” He said it the first time in the locker room after Dallas won at San Francisco in the NFC championship game before the first Super Bowl victory.
“You can say whatever you want to about my human reaction or frailties,” Jones said before the game. “I say this today, he’s there because it’s the right thing. He was always going in the ring of honor, whether I put him in or my kids put him in.”
One of the theories behind the abrupt end of Johnson’s tenure in 1994 was a tussle over who should get credit for the dramatic turnaround in Dallas.
The Cowboys went from 1-15 in 1989 — the year Jones bought the Cowboys and hired Johnson after firing the only coach Dallas ever had in Landry — to the first back-to-back Super Bowl titles in franchise history to cap the 1992 and ’93 seasons.
“I think we’re past who gets credit,” Johnson said. “The two of us, working together, made history. When I say working together, we talked every single day. I don’t ever recall us having a difference of opinion.”
Others would suggest Johnson’s take is revisionist history, because he was incensed 30 years ago over suggestions from Jones, also the team’s general manager, that any one of 500 coaches could have won a title with the Dallas roster.
Barry Switzer did it two years after the split of Jones and Johnson, who were teammates at Arkansas in the early 1960s. But critics never stopped suggesting the 1995 title was with Johnson’s players, and the Cowboys haven’t even reached an NFC championship game since that season.
Aikman was working the game as an analyst for ESPN and hustled down from the broadcast booth to join the ceremony. He stood with Irvin and Smith during the presentation, which started with Johnson walking through a greeting line of dozens of players from his Super Bowl run.
“It means everything to me and my teammates and everybody that was a part of those teams,” Aikman said on ESPN during the first half. “And the circle has been closed tonight at halftime.”
After two years away from football, Johnson returned with the Miami Dolphins in 1996 and led them to the playoffs the last three of his four seasons. But Miami never got past the divisional round.
The 80-year-old Johnson, a Texas native, has been a Fox studio analyst the past two decades and was enshrined in Canton, Ohio, in 2020, three years after Jones.
Now Johnson’s name will be inside AT&T Stadium along with Landry, who led the Cowboys to two Super Bowl titles in the 1970s and is fifth on the career list with 250 regular-season victories.
“I don’t think anybody can ever imagine what this means to me,” said Johnson, who won the 1987 college national championship at Miami. “This was a special time in my life. This was something that paid dividends for me the rest of my life. We took over the worst football team in the NFL. Not only did we win Super Bowls, but we were able to put together the team of the ’90s.”
Because of that, the split left many, including Johnson’s players, wondering what might have been had he stayed. Not only is Johnson past the question of credit, he doesn’t think much about “what ifs” either.
“Sometimes I’m kind of like a gypsy,” Johnson said. “I’ve never been anywhere more than five years. Got the point after winning a couple of Super Bowls, almost to the point of, ‘I’ve accomplished what I want to accomplish.’ Sometimes you lose sight of what you can do because of what you’ve already done.”
Johnson suggested he and Jones weren’t communicating as well at the end of their time together in Dallas as they had at the beginning, when they both faced a firestorm of criticism.
Jones suggested he let the sudden success of the Cowboys go to his head.
“What Jimmy brings is a lot of the best of me, enthusiasm, what have you,” Jones recalled telling his parents just before the split became public in 1994. “When it’s going the other way, I don’t like myself. It’s taking away from it. That mentality probably caused me to be not as tolerant as maybe we could have gone.”
A sense of closure for many of those issues was coming a few hours later.

Nadia Bartel Turns Heads with Striking Bikini Photos and Business Plans
The former Australian Football League (AFL) WAG, Nadia Bartel, stirred up the social media landscape by unveiling two sensational bikini photos on her Instagram Stories. The 38-year-old entrepreneur and fashion influencer, known for her impeccable style and fitness regimen, flaunted her sculpted physique in a minimalistic white bikini. One of the images was enhanced by an unbuttoned grey jacket and a pair of trendy sunglasses, adding an air of nonchalant sophistication to her radiant beach look.
A Social Media Sensation
Bartel’s posts, which offered an exposed glimpse into her gym-honed body, resonated deeply with her audience, amassing considerable viewership. Known for her fashion-forward looks and fitness motivation, Bartel often shares snippets of her lifestyle and business endeavors with her followers, cementing her status as a social media sensation.
Not Just a Social Media Persona
While her social media presence is undeniably strong, Bartel’s ambitions extend beyond the digital sphere. She is the driving force behind her clothing company, Henne, which has been making waves in the fashion world. Bartel recently revealed plans to take Henne to an international platform, expressing enthusiasm about ‘big people’ donning her designs.
Besides her fashion pursuits, Bartel’s tanning business is also on an upward trajectory, with new products poised to launch overseas, demonstrating her entrepreneurial acumen and passion for beauty and wellness.
Personal Life and Relationships
On a more personal note, Bartel’s love life seems to be flourishing. Her relationship with Peter Dugmore, a former footballer turned model, is reported to be going well. This comes after her much-publicized split from retired AFL star Jimmy Bartel in August 2019. The couple had been married for five years before parting ways, a period that significantly marked her personal and public life.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Venezuela said Saturday it will continue to deploy nearly 6,000 troops until a British military vessel sent to neighboring Guyana leaves the waters off the coast of the two South American nations.
In a video posted to X, Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino appeared surrounded by military officers in front of a marked up map of Venezuela and Guyana, a former British colony.
Padrdino said the forces are “safeguarding our national sovereignty.”
“Armed forces have been deployed not just in the east of the country, but across the entire territory,” he said. “They will be there until this British imperialist boat leaves the disputed waters between Venezuela and Guyana.”
The Defense Ministry confirmed to The Associated Press that the video was made at a military base in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas.
The video comes after weeks of tensions between the two countries over Venezuela’s renewed claim to a region in Guyana known as Essequibo, a sparsely populated stretch of land roughly the size of Florida that is rich in oil and minerals. Operations generate some $1 billion a year for the impoverished country of nearly 800,000 people that saw its economy expand by nearly 60% in the first half of this year.
Venezuela has long argued it was cheated out of the territory when Europeans and the U.S. set the border. Guayana, which has controlled the zone for decades, says the original agreement was legally binding and the dispute should be decided by the International Court of Justice in the Netherlands.
The century-old dispute was recently reignited with the discovery of oil in Guyana, and has escalated since Venezuela reported that its citizens voted in a Dec. 3 referendum to claim Essequibo, which makes up two-thirds of its smaller neighbor.
Critics of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro say the socialist leader is using the tensions to distract from internal turmoil and stoke nationalism in the lead up to presidential elections next year.
In recent weeks, the leaders of Guyana and Venezuela promised in a tense meeting that neither side would use threats or force against the other, but failed to reach agreement on how to address the bitter dispute.
Tensions came to another head with Friday’s arrival in Guyana of the Royal Navy patrol ship HMS Trent, which officials said had been taking part in an operation combatting drug smuggling in the Caribbean near the coast of Guyana. Most recently used to intercept pirates and drug smugglers off Africa, the ship is equipped with cannons and a landing pad for helicopters and drones and can carry around 50 marines.
Maduro said the ship’s deployment violates the shaky agreement between Venezuela and Guyana, calling its presence a threat to his country. In response, Maduro ordered Venezuela’s military — including air and naval forces — to conduct exercises near the disputed area.
“We believe in diplomacy, in dialogue and in peace, but no one is going to threaten Venezuela,” Maduro said. “This is an unacceptable threat to any sovereign country in Latin America.”
Guyana’s government rejected Maduro’s claims, with officials saying that the visit was a planned activity aimed at improving the nation’s defense capabilities and that the ship’s visit would continue as scheduled.
During talks earlier in December, Guyanese President Irfaan Ali said his nation reserved its right to work with partners to ensure the defense of his country. Guyana has a military of only 3,000 soldiers, 200 sailors and four small patrol boats known as Barracudas, while Venezuela has about 235,000 active military personnel in its army, air force, navy and national guard.
“Nothing that we do or have done is threatening Venezuela,” Guyana’s vice president, Bharrat Jagdeo, told reporters in Georgetown, the nation’s capital.

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

(BIVN) – The Hawai‘i Police Department is urging motorists to “drive safely and soberly during the New Year’s holiday weekend.” Police say they will be “out in force and on the lookout for impaired drivers this holiday weekend.”
“There is absolutely no excuse to drive impaired on any substance,” said Torey Keltner, Hawai‘i Police Department’s Traffic Services Section Program Manager, in a recent media release. “It’s very simple, if you drink, don’t drive. Period.”
Police say drug impairment has also been a factor in 50 percent of Hawaiʻi Island traffic fatalities in the past three years. 38 of the 76 traffic deaths on island were due to drug impairment.
Police offered these safety reminders:
- Something as simple as cold medication or an over-the-counter sleep aid can impair your driving, which may lead to you being arrested for a DUI. Impaired? Do not drive.
- If you plan on going to a party or event, plan ahead and designate a sober driver or use public transportation or a ride-sharing service. Someone who’s affected by drugs or alcohol shouldn’t be making decisions about driving; that’s why having a plan is key.
- DUI violations are not just for drunk driving. Remember, any impairment, including drugs, is illegal if you are operating a vehicle. If you are impaired by any substance, do not drive.
The Cost of Impaired Driving
- On average, a DUI could set you back $10,000 in attorney’s fees, fines, court costs, lost time at work, higher insurance rates, and more.
- If you’re caught driving under the influence of any impairing substance, you can face jail time. Imagine trying to explain that to your friends and family or your place of employment.
- Drug-impaired driving could cause you to lose your driver’s license and your vehicle. This could stop you from getting to work, resulting in lost wages and, potentially, job loss.
Plan Before You Party
- If you have chosen to use an impairing substance, do not drive. Passengers should never ride with an impaired driver. If you think a driver may be impaired, do not get in the car.
- Do you have a friend who is about to drive while impaired by drugs? Take the keys away and arrange to get them home safely. Don’t worry about offending someone — they’ll thank you later.
- If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact the police at (808) 935-3311.

Recent research using the MUSE instrument shows that galactic winds, vital for galaxy evolution, are a common occurrence in the universe, challenging previous assumptions about their rarity.
Under certain circumstances galaxies release huge quantities of matter into their environment, triggered by a large number of explosions of massive stars. The MUSE instrument of the Very Large Telescope of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) has now demonstrated for the first time that such “galactic winds” are by no means rare, but actually occur frequently.
Discovery of Double-Cone Structures
An international research team, led by the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), found the double-cone-shaped structures characteristic of galactic winds when examining a sample of around 100 galaxies. However, these are only visible in specific spectral lines of light and only if the sensitivity of the measurement is extremely high. Previously only very few such cases were known, most of which were discovered also with the MUSE instrument.
Professor Lutz Wisotzki, head of the Galaxies and Quasars section at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) and co-author of the article in the science journal Nature says: “MUSE shows us that such galactic-wide outflows are present in almost every star-forming galaxy. In addition, the new results allow us to recognize exactly what size and shape these galactic winds typically have. Until now, this was only possible in very rare extreme cases.”
Role of Outflowing Gas in Cosmic Evolution
Outflowing gas is thought to play a crucial role in the cosmic evolution of galaxies by regulating their growth and star formation. Theoretical calculations predict “bipolar” shapes for the outflows, which extend above and below the galactic plane far into the circumgalactic medium. Similar shapes have also been observed directly in some nearby galaxies, such as the “cigar galaxy” M82 and even in our own Milky Way, but there we can only see the innermost regions and cannot create an overall picture.
Galactic Winds in the Young Universe
Cosmological simulations of galaxy formation predict for the young universe that the phenomenon of galactic winds occurred much more frequently and strongly during these early phases: Due to the higher star formation activity of young galaxies, there were more supernova explosions and thus stronger outflows. These transport gas and energy from a galaxy into its surroundings, thus depriving it of the necessary fuel for further star formation, while at the same time enriching its “circumgalactic” environment. This so-called feedback process is presumably a crucial element in our understanding of the formation and evolution of galaxies, but it has only been insufficiently constrained through observations due to the difficulty of detecting the phenomenon.
New Insights From MUSE
The new study with the MUSE instrument now shows directly that the galactic gas flows out into the surroundings of the galaxies, reaching distances of more than 30,000 light years. The observable signal depends strongly on the orientation of the galaxy relative to the line of sight: if the system is viewed from the side, there is strong emission above and below the plane of the galaxy, whereas for galaxies viewed from “above” or “below,” the signal is weaker and more evenly distributed. These observations impressively confirm the previously theoretically predicted bipolar form of the outflows perpendicular to the plane of the galaxy.

New Year’s Eve Tragedy: Two Children Drown in Perth’s Swan River
On a tragic New Year’s Eve, two seven-year-old children, a boy and a girl, drowned in the Swan River near Burswood, Perth. The children, belonging to separate families, were found unresponsive in the river, casting a somber shadow over the festive celebrations that were to follow.
A Heartrending Discovery
The children were discovered floating in the Swan River during the late afternoon. Despite the quick response of a passerby who jumped into the river to rescue them, and a woman who performed CPR, the children could not be revived. They were rushed to the Perth Children’s Hospital under critical conditions, but the grim news of their demise followed soon after.
Investigation Underway
The Coronial Investigation Squad is now probing into the circumstances that led to this unfortunate incident. The area near the children’s playground, close to Perth Stadium, where the children were seen walking before the incident, was cordoned off by more than a dozen police officers. The results of the investigation will be encapsulated in a report for the coroner.
Community in Mourning
This devastating event has sent shockwaves through the community, bringing immense grief to the families of the young victims at the end of the year. The families involved are receiving the needed support during this challenging time, while the community is reminded of the importance of water safety, particularly for young children.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Kirby Smart didn’t need to do much to convince his Georgia Bulldogs of the importance of the Orange Bowl.
“As long as winning matters, we’re gonna compete like hell at Georgia,” Smart said.
The Bulldogs entered Saturday night’s matchup against Florida State essentially at full strength. The Seminoles, who were missing at least a dozen of their key contributors because of opt outs and players in the transfer portal, did not.
The result was what you might expect: The sixth-ranked Bulldogs crushed previously undefeated and fourth-ranked Florida State 63-3 in the Orange Bowl in a matchup of teams missing out on the College Football Playoff.
Smart said the result of the game was indicative of a larger problem in the sport.
“People need to see what happened tonight, and they need to fix this,” he said. “It needs to be fixed. It’s very unfortunate that they (the Seminoles), who have a good football team, are in the position they’re in. Everybody can say it’s their fault. Everybody can say that we had our guys and they didn’t have their guys. I can listen to all that. But college football has got to decide what they want.
“It’s really unfortunate for those kids on that side of the sideline that had to play in that game that didn’t have their full arsenal. And it affected the game, 100 percent.”
Carson Beck passed for 203 yards and two touchdowns and backup QB Gunnar Stockton passed for two more scores for Georgia, which scored touchdowns on nine of 12 drives and gained 673 total yards against the short-handed Seminoles.
The Bulldogs (13-1) were used to competing for championships this time of year, having won the last two national titles. But Georgia lost to Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship game — the Bulldogs’ first loss since the 2021 season — and missed out on one of the four spots in the CFP rankings. Instead, they settled for the seventh New Year’s Six bowl appearance in program history.
Florida State (13-1) failed to make the CFP cut despite winning the Atlantic Coast Conference title, and because of transfers, opt-outs and injuries, the Seminoles were without players who were responsible for 97% of their passing yards, 88% of their rushing yards and 84% of their receptions this season.
The Bulldogs charged out to a 39-point halftime lead, the largest in the bowl’s 90-year history, beating West Virginia’s 29-point halftime lead over Clemson in 2012. It was also the largest margin of defeat in Florida State’s history.
Beck, who had touchdown passes of 12 and 2 yards, did not play in the second half. Stockton, a freshman, started in the third quarter and immediately ushered another touchdown drive. He finished with 96 yards passing and 46 yards rushing, and the Bulldogs became the first program to score at least 55 points in back-to-back bowl games.
The Bulldogs’ Kendall Milton was the game’s MVP after rushing for 104 yards on nine carries with two touchdowns. Daijun Edwards added two more rushing scores and 62 yards. Both were part of a senior class that picked up its school-record 50th win.
“You want to take every game serious no matter what the level is,” Milton said. “You’ve got to prepare the right way because this is top level college football on any given week, so we took that very personally.”
In what could be his last game for the Bulldogs, receiver Ladd McConkey had 49 all-purpose yards. He scored on a 27-yard rush in which he caught a pass from Beck behind the line of scrimmage, looked to complete another pass but took off running instead, weaving through stumbling Florida State defenders and into the end zone to put Georgia up 28-3 in the second quarter.
Georgia players knew the story of the team on the other side of the field: The Seminoles entered the game having beaten all 13 teams on their schedule, including then-No. 15 Louisville in the ACC title game, but were left out of the College Football Playoff partly due to a season-ending leg injury to starting quarterback Jordan Travis. Florida State became the first Power Five conference champion to finish with an undefeated record and still be left out of the playoff.
“This is a championship level team,” Florida State coach Mike Norvell said. “You go back and watch 13 games and that’s who you saw. I am fully confident in what this team did throughout this year and what they could have achieved. It was not the path that was set out for us. … We’ll never know.”
In the week leading up to the bowl game, Georgia players expressed their understanding of the Seminoles’ frustrations, while acknowledging that they, too, felt slighted.
Smart had lobbied for the selection committee to consider the Bulldogs’ full resume in making their final decision: Georgia won 29 straight games before the SEC title matchup and finished the season with the eighth-best offense in the country and the No. 9 defense.
It wasn’t enough. And the Bulldogs vented frustrations in the Orange Bowl — possession by possession.
THE TAKEAWAY
Georgia: As dominant as the Bulldogs were on offense, their defense was just as impactful. They intercepted Seminoles quarterback Brock Glenn twice and recovered two fumbles. They also limited Florida State to 63 yards rushing.
Florida State: The Seminoles were outmatched in all three phases as they fell short of completing their first 14-win season since 2013. Glenn struggled in his second career start, completing 9 of 26 passes for 139 yards.
UP NEXT
Georgia: The Bulldogs open the 2024 season against Clemson in Atlanta. Beck is returning for his senior season.
Florida State: The Seminoles will start the 2024 season against Georgia Tech in Dublin, Ireland, marking the second time that two ACC teams have opened the season in Ireland.

(NEXSTAR) — Select batches of a baby formula product have been recalled due to concerns about possible bacterial contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced.
The recall affects 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce cans of Nutramigen Powder, produced by Reckitt Benckiser’s Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN) and distributed to U.S. retailers over the summer. Nutramigen Powder is a specialty formula designed for infants allergic to cow’s milk.
The company said it issued the recall due to the possibility of Cronobacter sakazakii contamination in products sampled outside the U.S.
“All products in question went through extensive testing by MJN and tested negative for the bacteria,” MJN said in its press release.
Cronobacter is a germ that can cause a dangerous blood infection known as sepsis, and it can also “make the linings surrounding the brain and spinal cord swell,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Infants younger than two months old, born prematurely or with weakened immune systems are most likely to get sick from the bacteria.
No illnesses have been reported to date, and MJN said it believes most of the products have already been consumed.
The affected products are listed below. They have a “Use By Date” of “1 Jan 2025” and a UPC Code of either 300871239418 or 300871239456.
- ZL3FHG (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FMH (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FPE (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FQD (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FRW (19.8 oz cans)
- ZL3FXJ (12.6 oz cans)
Consumers who purchased the affected products should throw them away or contact MJN for a refund. Anyone with questions can call 866-534-9986 or email consumer.relations@rb.com for assistance.

Ocean Sunfish: A Sailor’s Unexpected Encounter in Sydney to Hobart Race
Michael Spies, a seasoned sailor with 39 Sydney to Hobart races under his belt, experienced the unexpected in January 2018. While sailing the yacht Hollywood Boulevard back to New South Wales after the 2017 race, his vessel collided with an ocean sunfish, also known as the mola mola. The impact was so severe that it snapped the yacht’s rudder and caused the vessel to take on water, necessitating an aerial rescue from Bass Strait.
The Unseen Danger of the Ocean
Ocean sunfish, despite their seemingly awkward and slow movement, are capable of deep dives and quick maneuvers. Their large size, comparable to a hefty SUV, and unique appearance, resembling a floating saucer with their dorsal and anal fins extended vertically, make them a fascinating subject for marine scientists. Yet, their presence has been a consistent hazard for Sydney to Hobart yachts.
Marine Mystery vs. Sailor’s Nightmare
The sunfish’s notoriety among sailors sharply contrasts with its relative obscurity in marine tourism. There are far fewer sunfish-watching boats compared to whale-watching tours. Sunfish, part of the Molidae family and related to pufferfish, triggerfish, and boxfish, have distinctive features such as a truncated spine, no ribs, and a thick hypodermis akin to an exoskeleton. After cold deep-water dives, they maintain neutral buoyancy and warm up at the surface.
A Giant Beneath the Waves
The largest recorded sunfish weighed a colossal 2,750 kilograms, measuring 3.25 meters in length and 3.6 meters in height. Their evolutionary uniqueness makes them a fascinating study for scientists, yet they carry a silent threat beneath the waves. For sailors like Michael Spies, the sunfish serves as a reminder of the unpredictable challenges that the ocean can present, even to the most seasoned mariners.

Potential Gang-Related Stabbing in Northbridge: Accused Granted Bail
In the heart of Northbridge, a district renowned for its pulsating nightlife, a violent incident unfolded just before 3:30 am on a typical Saturday, resulting in severe charges against two individuals, Agoth Manyang Agoth and Ngang Mat Lual, both aged 25. They stand accused of participating in a group assault on 22-year-old Alnaw Abdalrahman while he was engaged in a conversation with two women outside the An Sibin Irish Pub. The confrontation escalated into a brutal stabbing, inflicting serious harm on Abdalrahman.
Charges and Bail
Despite the gravity of the incident, both Agoth and Lual have been granted bail.

Police prosecutors have hinted that the attack may be linked to gang activities, a claim that has added a layer of complexity to the case.
Public Reaction and Implications
The case has captured public interest due to its violent nature and the potential implications of gang involvement. There is a growing concern over public safety, particularly in nightlife hotspots like Northbridge. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the escalating violence in urban nightlife and the need for more effective strategies to ensure public safety.

Sydney and Auckland Usher in 2024 Amidst Global Tensions
As the clock struck twelve, fireworks filled the sky over Sydney Harbour and Auckland’s Sky Tower, marking the arrival of 2024. More than a million spectators gazed in awe at the spectacle, a stark contrast to the subdued or absent celebrations in regions engulfed by war and conflict.
Sydney and Auckland Ignite the New Year
Despite the rain clearing just in time for the countdown, Auckland’s Sky Tower and the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge became the focal points of the celebrations. The 12-minute firework display in Sydney captivated over a million viewers, both from the shore and on boats in the harbour. Auckland was no less spectacular, with its own pyrotechnic display illuminating the city skyline.
A Contrast of Celebrations
While Sydney and Auckland rang in the new year with grandeur, other parts of the world faced a more sobering reality. Ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza resulted in heightened security measures in cities like New York, Paris, and Berlin. In Moscow, traditional New Year’s Eve festivities were cancelled due to Russia’s military actions in Ukraine. Pakistan also shelved all celebrations in a show of solidarity with the Palestinians.
Global Repercussions and Responses
Across the globe, the celebratory mood was tempered by the realities of war and conflict. New York City prepared safety measures for the throngs of revelers expected in Times Square, while European cities also ramped up security. China quietly welcomed the new year, with President Xi Jinping stressing the country’s focus on economic recovery. Meanwhile, Pope Francis offered prayers for those affected by the conflicts in Ukraine, Palestine, and Israel.
Despite the contrasting celebrations, the arrival of 2024 was a testament to the resilience of humanity, the global dichotomy of joy and despair, and the hope that the new year will bring peace and stability to the troubled regions of the world.

Sydney Fathers Killed in NSW Central Tablelands Car Crash: Children in Serious Condition
In a tragic turn of events, two Sydney fathers, David Drozd and Jason McMahon, have been confirmed dead following a fatal car crash near Lithgow in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales (NSW). The horrifying incident that involved five cars, has also left several children in critical condition and has escalated the total road fatalities in NSW to 351 this year.
A Deadly Collision
Drozd, a traffic engineer and a church leader, was travelling with his wife and five of his nine children when their vehicle was hit. McMahon, a loving father and an admired role model, was returning from a dirt biking trip when his vehicle collided with another. The exact circumstances leading up to the fatal crash are still under investigation by the Crash Investigation Unit.
Community Mourning and Support
Both men were deeply mourned by their friends, family, and community. To support their bereaved families, fundraising campaigns have been set up on GoFundMe. The campaigns aim to cover funeral costs and provide financial support to the surviving family members in these trying times.
Children in Serious Condition
Among the 15 people injured in the crash, several children have been hospitalized and are reported to be in a serious condition. Medical teams are working diligently, providing the necessary care to ensure their recovery.
The fatality of this accident has prompted the NSW police to urge drivers to exercise extra caution on the road, especially considering the climbing number of road fatalities this year. As the community grieves this loss, it is a sobering reminder of the importance of road safety.

A stunning fireworks display over the iconic Sydney Harbour and New Zealand’s Sky Tower, witnessed by more than a million people.
Anticipation for the Fireworks Display
In the lead-up to the main event, hundreds of campers gathered around Sydney Harbour, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Security Measures Amid Global Tensions
However, the celebrations were not without their share of concerns. A heightened security presence was noticeable, a necessary response to ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. Despite the global tensions, the spirit of celebration was not dampened. The city ensured the safety of its citizens and tourists alike, enabling them to welcome the New Year with joy and peace.
As the world stepped into 2024, the city of Sydney, with its spectacular fireworks and innovative soundtracks, set a hopeful tone for the year ahead. As the last echoes of the bespoke music faded away, they were replaced by the excited chatter of spectators, their faces glowing with the afterglow of the fireworks, their hearts filled with hope for the New Year.

Chief Justice Roberts casts a wary eye on the uses of artificial intelligence in the federal courts
By MARK SHERMAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts on Sunday turned his focus to the promise, and shortcomings, of artificial intelligence in the federal courts, in an annual report that made no mention of Supreme Court ethics or legal controversies involving Donald Trump.
Describing artificial intelligence as the “latest technological frontier,” Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks come just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records, in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
“Always a bad idea,” Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that “any use of AI requires caution and humility.”
At the same time, though, the chief justice acknowledged that AI can make it much easier for people without much money to access the courts. “These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system,” Roberts wrote.
The report came at the end of a year in which a series of stories questioned the ethical practices of the justices and the court responded to critics by adopting its first code of conduct. Many of those stories focused on Justice Clarence Thomas and his failure to disclose travel, other hospitality and additional financial ties with wealthy conservative donors including Harlan Crow and the Koch brothers. But Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also have been under scrutiny.
The country also is entering an the beginning of an election year that seems likely to enmesh the court in some way in the ongoing criminal cases against Trump and efforts to keep the Republican former president off the 2024 ballot.
Along with his eight colleagues, Roberts almost never discusses cases that are before the Supreme Court or seem likely to get there. In past reports, he has advocated for enhanced security and salary increases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts.
Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes, but don’t make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won’t soon replace judges.
At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determines “whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment,” Roberts wrote.
Looking ahead warily to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: “I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI.”

Michigan home explosion heard for miles kills 4 and injures 2, police say
DETROIT (AP) — Four people died and two others were injured Saturday in a Michigan house explosion that could be heard miles away, police said.
The explosion happened before 4 p.m. in Northfield Township, about 45 miles (72.4 kilometers) west of Detroit. The structure was destroyed, leaving only the basement, Northfield Township Police Lt. David Powell told reporters Saturday.
The blast, which could be heard about 9 miles (14.4 kilometers) away, sent debris into the air that landed on both sides of a nearby highway. Neighboring homes were not damaged, Powell said.
Six people were in the home, with four fatalities discovered at the scene and the two surviving victims hospitalized in critical condition. Police did not immediately know if the victims were related, Powell said.
Authorities have not determined the cause of the explosion.
Northfield Township police did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press seeking additional information on Sunday.

Two Men Arrested in Northbridge Stabbing Incident Granted Bail
Two men, implicated in a violent altercation that ended in a severe stabbing in Northbridge, have been granted bail. Law enforcement officials suggest the incident may be gang-related. The accused, Agoth Manyang Agoth and Ngang Mat Lual, both 25 years of age, are believed to have assaulted 22-year-old Alnaw Abdalrahman in the early hours of Saturday morning, outside the An Sibin Irish Pub.
Bloodshed in Northbridge
The altercation reportedly unfolded as Abdalrahman was engaged in conversation with two women. It is alleged that Agoth and Lual, without provocation, launched a physical attack on Abdalrahman. The details of the assault or the specifics of the charges the two men face remain undisclosed. Police prosecutors are exploring the possibility of the assault being a part of gang-related activity.
Behind the Bars: The Accused
Agoth and Lual, now under arrest, have been granted bail under conditions that are as yet unknown. The gravity of the charges they face, and the potential consequences, remain shrouded in uncertainty. The Northbridge stabbing case has gripped the community, raising concerns about public safety and the specter of gang violence.

Colorado mother suspected of killing her 2 children and wounding a third arrested in United Kingdom
By JESSE BEDAYN
Associated Press/Report for America
A Colorado mother suspected of killing two of her young children and injuring a third was arrested Saturday in the United Kingdom, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
Kimberlee Singler’s 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son were found dead on Dec. 19 when police responded to a report of a burglary at their home. Police later said the report turned out to be unfounded.
Singler, 35, initially cooperated with police but disappeared during the investigation, said Ira Cronin, spokesperson for the Colorado Springs Police Department. Authorities were unable to apprehend her after obtaining an arrest warrant Tuesday on charges of murder and attempted murder, among other allegations.
Singler was not under surveillance and was last seen in Colorado Springs on Dec. 23, said Cronin.
Authorities did not provide further details on the overseas arrest, but said they are working with multiple law enforcement agencies.
Attempts to reach Singler for comment through phone numbers listed for her were unsuccessful. Cronin said he didn’t know if she has an attorney.
When police first responded to Singler’s home, they found her with minor injuries, the two children’s bodies and Singler’s 11-year-old daughter hurt. At first, Singler was treated as a burglary victim, said Cronin.
The injured girl was hospitalized for a few days before being released and is recovering in Colorado Springs, said Cronin.
The children’s deaths came amid an ongoing legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, according to court filings.

US Navy helicopters fire at Yemen’s Houthi rebels and kill several in latest Red Sea shipping attack
BEIRUT (AP) — The U.S. military said Sunday that its forces opened fire on Houthi rebels after they attacked a cargo ship in the Red Sea, killing several of them in an escalation of the maritime conflict linked to the war in Gaza. “We’re going to act in a self-defense going forward,” a White House official said.
In a series of statements, the U.S. Central Command said the crew of the USS Gravely destroyer first shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired at the Singapore-flagged Maersk Hangzhou late Saturday, after the vessel reported getting hit by a missile earlier that evening as it sailed through the Southern Red Sea.
Four small boats then attacked the same cargo ship with small arms fire early Sunday and rebels tried to board the vessel, the U.S. Navy said.
Next, the USS Gravely and helicopters from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier responded to the Maersk Hangzhou’s distress call and issued verbal warnings to the attackers, who responded by firing on the helicopters.
“The U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defense,” sinking three of the four boats and killing the people on board while the fourth boat fled the area, the U.S. Central Command said. No harm to U.S. personnel or equipment, or casualties from the cargo ship, were reported.
The Houthis acknowledged that 10 of their fighters were killed in the confrontation and warned of consequences.
In Washington, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council sidestepped a question about the possibility of a preemptive strike against the Houthis to safeguard commercial shipping in the vital waterway.
“I won’t say what’s on or off the table right now,” John Kirby told ABC’s “Good Morning America,” adding, “We’re going to do what we have to do to protect shipping.” He said the United States has “significant national security interests in the region” and “we’re going to put the kind of forces we need in the region to protect those interests and we’re going to act in self-defense going forward.”
He said the U.S. has made it clear to the Houthis that “we take these threats seriously and we’re going to make the right decisions going forward.″
The events surrounding the Maersk Hangzhou represented the 23rd illegal attack by the Houthis on international shipping since Nov. 19, the Central Command said. It was the first time the U.S. Navy said its personnel had killed Houthi fighters since the Red Sea attacks started.
For over a month, Iran-backed Houthis have claimed attacks on ships in the Red Sea that they say are either linked to Israel or heading to Israeli ports. They say their attacks aim to end the Israeli air-and-ground offensive in the Gaza Strip that was triggered by the Palestinian militant group Hamas’ Oct.7 attack in southern Israel.
However, the links to the ships targeted in the rebel assaults have grown more tenuous as the attacks continue.
The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee called on President Joe Biden “to look at what actions need to be taken in Yemen to be able to prevent the Houthis to continue to put commercial and military vessels at risk.”
Noting Iran’s support for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, told ABC’s ``This Week” that the Biden administration should be more aggressive “in responding to escalation by Iran.’’
The Denmark-based shipping giant Maersk, owner of Maersk Hangzhou, said Sunday it would suspend shipping through the Red Sea again after the two attacks on its freighter.
“In light of the (most recent) incident — and to give time to investigate the details of the incident and assess the security situation further — it has been decided that all transits through the area will be postponed for the next 48 hours,” Maersk was quoted as saying by the Danish public broadcaster DR.
On Saturday, the top commander of U.S. naval forces in the Middle East said Houthi rebels have shown no signs of ending their “reckless” attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea even as more nations join the international maritime mission to protect vessels in the vital waterway and trade traffic begins to pick up.
Earlier this month, Washington announced the establishment of a new international coalition to protect vessels traveling through the waterway. The United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain are also part of the new maritime security mission.
Since the Pentagon announced Operation Prosperity Guardian to counter the attacks just over 10 days ago, 1,200 merchant ships have traveled through the Red Sea region, and none had been hit by drone or missile strikes, Vice Adm. Brad Cooper told The Associated Press in an interview on Saturday.

When the muggles – be they friends, family or loved ones – ask us about our New Year's resolutions, we don't usually say what they really are. That's because saying, "Yeah, I'll go to the gym more," is much easier than trying to explain why your 2024 resolution is actually to clean your camera sensor or upgrade your memory cards.
Non-camera folk just don't understand these things, so we fob them off with platitudes… but if we don't share our resolutions somewhere, we'll never stick to them! So, everybody reading this is now officially a DCW Accountability Buddy™, and the team needs you to hold us accountable for sticking to these promises in 2024!
Buy less gear!
Gareth Bevan
Reviews Editor
As a camera journalist who makes their living waxing lyrical on the latest and greatest camera gear, it's a little ironic that my resolution is to buy less of it! Now to be clear, this isn’t to escape any escalating debts, this is just to save my poor shelves from having to make space for another lens I am seldom going to use.
This year I invested heavily in Fujifilm cameras and lenses, an easy feat, as Fuji X gear can be a lot cheaper than other brands, especially second-hand. I now have several shiny new (or at least new to me) lenses waiting to be used. The main issue, I only ever leave the house with the same 35m lens on my camera. Next year I resolve to not buy any more gear I do not need (and as a bonus resolution – use what I actually own!).
Take black-and-white film more seriously
My New Year's resolution regarding photography is to take my black-and-white film shooting, developing, and scanning a little more seriously. Currently, I just use a mono bath (all-in-one solution) to develop my negatives at home and scan them on my Canon Canoscan 9900F Mark II. However, I want to experiment with other developers and nail down my scanning techniques to produce richer, better negatives, and overall crisper scans and images.
First of all, I will invest in a darkroom changing bag – rather than loading my film into my Paterson tank in my awkward, Harry Potter-style cupboard – so I can change and load film anywhere. Once that is acquired, choosing another “proper” black-and-white developer will be my next move to see what results I like with the film stock I often shoot, then a deep dive into my current scanner – yes it is a flatbed, and won’t give leading performance results over a dedicated film scanner, but I’m hoping this will heal the wounds of intrigue.
Let's hope it all works out because if it doesn’t, I’ll probably buy a Leica Monochrom out of sheer madness and despair!
Up my videography game
Hannah Rooke
Staff Writer
Last year my photography-related New Year resolution was to shoot more medium format, and lo and behold I managed to keep it! I still haven't invested in a light meter, as they're not cheap, but I have used my Sony A7 III or a light meter app on my phone as a workaround.
This year, I'm dead set on becoming a much better videographer and video editor. I've always enjoyed shooting video but I want to start creating more exciting content with thoughtful transitions, well-executed storyboards and applying more effects during the editing process to bring my videos to life.
To create more professional-looking videos, I have also vowed to start using my gimbal more. While the camera I own does have in-body stabilization, it doesn't quite cut it for scenes where I am walking. So to get smooth shots while on the move, I need to get over balancing it correctly and not be so lazy when it comes to taking it on shoots.
Buy a "proper camera"
Ben Andrews
Lab Manager
Just one dedicated camera to call my own. I recently sold my trusty Nikon D5500 to help fund another project, leaving my Samsung Galaxy A53 phone to cover all my photographic needs. Though good enough for most situations, the phone's primary (wide-angle) camera isn't a great focal length for portraiture, and with no telephoto module, anything requiring some zoom can only be achieved by cropping in on a section of a wide-angle shot.
Investing in a new interchangeable lens camera system can be daunting as, whichever system you choose, you'll likely be wedded to it for a long time – for better or worse! Thankfully these days there are very few truly bad cameras, and let's face it – we're not short of buying guides on this website to help guide a new purchase!
Shoot (and share) for myself, not just for clients
Working as a commercial photographer for the past eight years has been a blast, but it often means I am shooting concepts and ideas to meet the briefs of others. While studying for my MA in photography this past year I have, for the first time, been working on a large personal project, which has been a freeing experience. Without the constraints of briefs and the approval of others, I have been able to shoot with freedom much akin to when I first picked up a camera.
In the new year I will start disseminating this work, but I would be lying if I said I didn't feel anxiety over sharing my first personal project. New Year's resolutions can be a good way of ensuring accountability, therefore I will aim to not only share the finished work but the work in progress and development stages, too, in the hopes that it may be useful to others. So, my New Year's resolution for 2024 is a two-parter; to continue to make personal work for myself and to share it!
Ditch apps, use my computer
Adam Juniper
Managing Editor
This year my photography resolution is to spend more time with my computer. I know, boring right? But the thing is I love the gadget fun of all my drones, cameras, assorted security devices and other weird toys and spend far too little time looking at the results on a decent-sized screen.
If anything, the arrival of apps has compounded the problem. I've barely used a device this year that doesn't have some kind of app connection, live view, or remote control, and I start to think of the images and video I capture too much in terms of the quick likes from family members or social feeds than as something with a worth of their own. To bring that out I need to take a breath, look at the RAW file or video equivalent, make some measured adjustments, and enjoy the rush I felt in the field again, differently.
As a stretch goal I'm going to try to print more pictures, buy more picture frames and keep the walls of the house busy. Until I put a nail through a water pipe, anyway!
Rip it up and start again
Chris George
Content Director
Owning a camera system is a bit like owning a house. When you get a new home, you spend time gradually improving it… and over time you improve it. Put in a new kitchen, add a sun deck, landscape the garden, and maybe add an extension. With a camera system, you start with the body – and over time add lenses, remotes, grips, flashguns and more to pimp it out to the max to meet your peculiar photographic needs.
I've had more camera systems now than I've had homes. Being a camera journalist has made me switch more often than most – enticed by the opportunity to try new tech. Somehow I currently have three camera systems – and the truth is that none of them suit my purpose. I have a very professional Nikon D800 system with top-class glass, which is too bulky for my current needs (and needs an expensive service). I have a Fujifilm X-T1 that looks great, but I don't enjoy – despite having a big bag of lenses. And a Sony A7 II that I love, but only have a kit lens for.
So in 2024 I am going to sell all of it (or anything that has value), and start again. It will be as traumatic and emotional as moving home. But I know it is time to move on.

The arrival of 2024 was welcomed with grandeur and celebration around the world. Australians and New Zealanders were among the first to greet the New Year with remarkable fireworks displays. In Auckland, New Zealand, the Sky Tower, the nation’s tallest structure, was aglow with pyrotechnics at the stroke of midnight, marking the end of a rain-drenched day. Shortly thereafter, the renowned Sydney Harbor Bridge in Australia was at the heart of a significant fireworks and light show.
Sydney Harbor: A Global Spectacle
The event at Sydney Harbor is not just a local favorite. According to city authorities, the spectacle draws an annual global viewership of approximately 425 million people. The show witnessed the presence of over one million spectators, roughly a fifth of Sydney’s population, congregated along the harbor. Amid the backdrop of recent pro-Palestinian protests and concerns of heightened security globally, an extensive police force was deployed to ensure safety.
New York Prepares for Festivities
Moving westward, in New York, Times Square was all set for the annual New Year’s Eve celebration. City officials, including Mayor Eric Adams, confirmed no specific threats and anticipated a full return to pre-COVID attendance levels. The event promised performances by prominent artists such as Flo Rida, Megan Thee Stallion, and LL Cool J, and televised appearances by celebrities like Cardi B. In light of potential protests connected to the Israel-Hamas conflict, the security perimeter was expanded.
France Boosts Security Amid ‘High Terrorist Threat’
Across the Atlantic, France heightened security for New Year’s Eve, deploying 90,000 law enforcement officers, including 6,000 in Paris. French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin underscored a ‘very high terrorist threat’ connected to the situation in Israel and Palestine. Marking a first, police were authorized to use drones as part of their security measures.
Pakistan Stands in Solidarity with Palestinians
Amid the global festivities, Pakistan took a different stance. The government banned all New Year’s Eve celebrations in a show of solidarity with Palestinians. Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar ul Haq Kakar urged the nation to embrace the new year with simplicity and expressed sorrow over the conflict in Gaza.

Michigan home explosion heard for miles kills 4 and injures 2, police say
DETROIT (AP) — Four people died and two others were injured Saturday in a Michigan house explosion that could be heard miles away, police said.
The explosion happened before 4 p.m. in Northfield Township, about 45 miles (72.4 kilometers) west of Detroit. The structure was destroyed, leaving only the basement, Northfield Township Police Lt. David Powell told reporters Saturday.
The blast, which could be heard about 9 miles (14.4 kilometers) away, sent debris into the air that landed on both sides of a nearby highway. Neighboring homes were not damaged, Powell said.
Six people were in the home, with four fatalities discovered at the scene and the two surviving victims hospitalized in critical condition. Police did not immediately know if the victims were related, Powell said.
Authorities have not determined the cause of the explosion.
Northfield Township police did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press seeking additional information on Sunday.

Warner Bros’ welcome holiday hit Wonka reclaimed top spot at the North American box office over the final weekend of the year, which is on track to finish on just over $9bn for the first time since the pandemic.
The overall aggregated box office, which will be confirmed by ComScore in the coming days, was powered by the likes of Barbie ($636.2m) The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($574.9m), Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse ($381.1m), Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 ($358.9m), and Oppenheimer ($326.1m).
2023 marks the biggest year since 2019, although there is a way to go before box office scales the heights of the $11bn-plus years of 2015 through 2019.
2022 box office finished at $7.37bn as the world emerged from Covid, while both 2021 on $4.48bn and 2020 on $2.11bn were profoundly impacted by cinema closures and production stoppages during the pandemic and as such are not meaningful comparisons.
The more valid comparison is 2019, when all North American releases combined for $11.36bn. The upcoming 2024 is unlikely to get close to that number due to a schedule affected by the strikes. Industry sources have touted $8bn as a realistic target before business resumes with a full roster in 2025.
Wonka, Paul King’s $100m live-action Willy Wonka origins story, was a big factor in getting 2023 box office to the $9bn milestone. Surprises like Toho International’s Godzilla Minus One (on $45.7m and counting) and Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy And The Heron ($35.9m) have also played a key role over the holiday season.
After launching top over the December 15-17 session and succumbing to Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom over the Christmas weekend, the Timothée Chalamet starrer reclaimed the number one spot in its third session with an estimated $23.9m over the three-day December 29-31 period for a $134.9m running total, rising to $142.5m factoring in a projected $31.8m over four days.
In contrast Warner Bros’ DC stablemate Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom in second place has not performed well. The Jason Momoa tentpole stands at $77.8m after its December 22 start, bringing in $19.5m over three and a projected $26.3m over four days for $84.2m.
These are highly disappointing numbers given that the 2018 original became DC’s biggest hit on $1.15bn worldwide and stood at $153.9m in North America by the same stage – eight days of release – and $215.4m by January 1, 2019.
Universal/Illumination’s animated adventure Migration ranks third on $54.3m after two weekends thanks to a $17.2m haul over three days in 3,839 theatres and a projected $22.3m over four to stand at $59.4m. The film reportedly cost $70m – a steal compared to most animation tentpoles – and is expected to play well into the new year.
Warner Bros’ The Color Purple ranks fourth and is going well. The musical retelling of Alice Walker’s beloved story stands at $45.3m after seven days following a $13m three-day gross and $50m factoring in the projected $17.7m over four.
Rounding out the top five is Columbia Pictures’ comedy Anyone But You with Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, which earned $9m over three days for $25.1m and is forecast to gross $11.5m over four days for a $27.6m running total.
George Clooney’s drama The Boys In The Boat has reached $21.9m after an $8.3m three-day bump, rising to $24.6m with a projected $11m over four days. The Joel Edgerton and Callum Turner starrer drew a 55% female and 68% over-35 crowd.
Placing seventh is A24’s Sean Durkin wrestling drama The Iron Claw starring Zac Efron, which added $5m for $16.4m and rises to $18.2m with a projected $6.9m over four days from 2,794 sites.
Michael Mann’s Ferrari ranks eighth through Neon and has cruised to $10.9m after a $4.1m three-day session and $12.1m after a projected $5.2m over four.
In ninth place is Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes on a solid $159.9m following a $2.9m three-day weekend and $160.7m including a projected $3.7m over four.
Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy And The Heron rounds out the top 10 and stands at $36.8m through GKids, earning $2.5m for $35.9m from 940 locations and $36.8m with the projected $3.4m four-day gross.
SPC opened Germany’s Oscar submissions The Teachers’ Lounge at number 25 on $15,665, resulting in $32,306 since the December 25 opening day.

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

Giants’ Tyrod Taylor solid in return to lineup but misses potential winning 2-point conversion
By TOM CANAVAN
AP Sports Writer
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Many fans were unhappy when New York Giants coach Brian Daboll decided to switch quarterbacks this week and had veteran Tyrod Taylor start in place of popular rookie Tommy DeVito.
Taylor missed a wide-open open Saquon Barkley with a short pass on a potential game-winning 2-point conversion try and fumbled a fourth-down snap in Giants territory to set a Rams’ touchdown, but was otherwise impressive in a 26-25 setback to red-hot Los Angeles on Sunday.
The 34-year-old Taylor was 27 of 41 for 319 yards and a touchdown and scrambled 31 yards in the final minute to set up a potential winning 54-yard field goal by Mason Crosby in the waning seconds. Crosby missed wide left and might have been short.
Taylor also threw an interception in the second quarter that resulted in some fans chanting: “Tommy! Tommy!” but he put up more passing yards in this game than DeVito did in any of his six starts. The undrafted rookie’s best was 246 in a win over Washington.
Taylor’s 319 yards passing were two shy of the team high of 321 set by Daniel Jones in the second week of the season. His 80-yard TD pass to Darius Slayton was the team’s longest offensive play from scrimmage this year, besting the 69-yarder he had to Slayton on Christmas after replacing DeVito in the second half against the Eagles.
“I think I played well, but like I told you, I judge myself off wins and losses and ultimately today wasn’t a winning performance, so it’s room to grow,” Taylor said.
The play that will stick out is the 2-point try after Gunner Olszewski broke a tackle and returned a punt 94 yards to get the Giants within a point with 3:27 to play. New York was going to go for the tying extra point, but an encroachment penalty changed those plans and the Giants went for the win from the 1-yard line.
Taylor rolled right and saw Barkley crossing the field open after he faked an inside run. But Taylor was indecisive and his pass fell to the ground, leaving many in MetLife Stadium stunned.
“Saquon was open,” Taylor said. “Was kind of caught in between running it and throwing it and didn’t do either one of them, but yeah, I’ve got to be better. It’s a routine throw, something I’ve hit plenty of times before. But yeah, that moment I didn’t execute.”
After the defense held, Taylor’s run got New York to the Rams 35. With no timeouts, the ball was spiked on first down. The coaches followed that with a draw call that Los Angeles stuffed. Following an incomplete pass, Crosby missed the kick which was at his maximum range.
“As a competitor, any time you lose, it’s never a good feeling,” Taylor said. “I can’t say whether one is harder to shake off versus the other, it’s just about looking at it with a critical eye. Like I said, looking in the mirror, asking yourself what you could’ve done better and attack those for the next week.”
Barkley, who carried 12 times for 39 yards, would not question the coaches on the draw call.
“Any time it’s a one-score game or a close game, any team can feel like they should’ve won, but at the end of the day, only one team gets a ‘W’ in the win column and we didn’t do that,” he said. “We had opportunities, we had a chance to win, but we failed to as a team.”

(MENAFN- IANS) Ramallah, Jan 1 (IANS) The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics said that more Palestinians were killed in conflicts in 2023 than in any other year since 1948.
According to the bureau, 22,404 Palestinians died in 2023, and 22,141 of them were killed since the outbreak of the conflict between Israel and the Gaza-ruling Hamas on October 7, Xinhua news agency reported.
The bureau added on Sunday that 98 per cent of the Palestinian fatalities were in Gaza, including nearly 9,000 children and 6,450 women, adding that 319 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank since October 7.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Sunday that his people would remain steadfast and adhere to their legitimate rights, and would not accept being displaced from their land.
In a statement marking the 59th anniversary of the founding of the Fatah movement, Abbas said the Palestinian Authority, which he heads, would not give up a single inch of their territory, and would not forsake its responsibilities toward Gaza.
Abbas said military solutions would destabilise the region and the rest of the world rather than bringing anyone peace or security.
He called for a political solution based on international law and resolutions that would recognise the Palestinians' rights to freedom and independence.

US Navy helicopters fire at Yemen’s Houthi rebels and kill several in latest Red Sea shipping attack
BEIRUT (AP) — The U.S. military said Sunday that its forces opened fire on Houthi rebels after they attacked a cargo ship in the Red Sea, killing several of them in an escalation of the maritime conflict linked to the war in Gaza. “We’re going to act in a self-defense going forward,” a White House official said.
In a series of statements, the U.S. Central Command said the crew of the USS Gravely destroyer first shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired at the Singapore-flagged Maersk Hangzhou late Saturday, after the vessel reported getting hit by a missile earlier that evening as it sailed through the Southern Red Sea.
Four small boats then attacked the same cargo ship with small arms fire early Sunday and rebels tried to board the vessel, the U.S. Navy said.
Next, the USS Gravely and helicopters from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier responded to the Maersk Hangzhou’s distress call and issued verbal warnings to the attackers, who responded by firing on the helicopters.
“The U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defense,” sinking three of the four boats and killing the people on board while the fourth boat fled the area, the U.S. Central Command said. No harm to U.S. personnel or equipment, or casualties from the cargo ship, were reported.
The Houthis acknowledged that 10 of their fighters were killed in the confrontation and warned of consequences.
In Washington, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council sidestepped a question about the possibility of a preemptive strike against the Houthis to safeguard commercial shipping in the vital waterway.
“I won’t say what’s on or off the table right now,” John Kirby told ABC’s “Good Morning America,” adding, “We’re going to do what we have to do to protect shipping.” He said the United States has “significant national security interests in the region” and “we’re going to put the kind of forces we need in the region to protect those interests and we’re going to act in self-defense going forward.”
He said the U.S. has made it clear to the Houthis that “we take these threats seriously and we’re going to make the right decisions going forward.″
The events surrounding the Maersk Hangzhou represented the 23rd illegal attack by the Houthis on international shipping since Nov. 19, the Central Command said. It was the first time the U.S. Navy said its personnel had killed Houthi fighters since the Red Sea attacks started.
For over a month, Iran-backed Houthis have claimed attacks on ships in the Red Sea that they say are either linked to Israel or heading to Israeli ports. They say their attacks aim to end the Israeli air-and-ground offensive in the Gaza Strip that was triggered by the Palestinian militant group Hamas’ Oct.7 attack in southern Israel.
However, the links to the ships targeted in the rebel assaults have grown more tenuous as the attacks continue.
The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee called on President Joe Biden “to look at what actions need to be taken in Yemen to be able to prevent the Houthis to continue to put commercial and military vessels at risk.”
Noting Iran’s support for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, told ABC’s ``This Week” that the Biden administration should be more aggressive “in responding to escalation by Iran.’’
The Denmark-based shipping giant Maersk, owner of Maersk Hangzhou, said Sunday it would suspend shipping through the Red Sea again after the two attacks on its freighter.
“In light of the (most recent) incident — and to give time to investigate the details of the incident and assess the security situation further — it has been decided that all transits through the area will be postponed for the next 48 hours,” Maersk was quoted as saying by the Danish public broadcaster DR.
On Saturday, the top commander of U.S. naval forces in the Middle East said Houthi rebels have shown no signs of ending their “reckless” attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea even as more nations join the international maritime mission to protect vessels in the vital waterway and trade traffic begins to pick up.
Earlier this month, Washington announced the establishment of a new international coalition to protect vessels traveling through the waterway. The United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain are also part of the new maritime security mission.
Since the Pentagon announced Operation Prosperity Guardian to counter the attacks just over 10 days ago, 1,200 merchant ships have traveled through the Red Sea region, and none had been hit by drone or missile strikes, Vice Adm. Brad Cooper told The Associated Press in an interview on Saturday.

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

Chief Justice John Roberts on Sunday turned his focus to the promise, and shortcomings, of artificial intelligence in the federal courts, in an annual report that made no mention of Supreme Court ethics or legal controversies involving Donald Trump.
Describing artificial intelligence as the "latest technological frontier," Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks come just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records, in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
"Always a bad idea," Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that "any use of AI requires caution and humility."
At the same time, though, the chief justice acknowledged that AI can make it much easier for people without much money to access the courts. "These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system," Roberts wrote.
The report came at the end of a year in which a series of stories questioned the ethical practices of the justices and the court responded to critics by adopting its first code of conduct. Many of those stories focused on Justice Clarence Thomas and his failure to disclose travel, other hospitality and additional financial ties with wealthy conservative donors including Harlan Crow and the Koch brothers. But Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also have been under scrutiny.
The country also is entering an the beginning of an election year that seems likely to enmesh the court in some way in the ongoing criminal cases against Trump and efforts to keep the Republican former president off the 2024 ballot.
Along with his eight colleagues, Roberts almost never discusses cases that are before the Supreme Court or seem likely to get there. In past reports, he has advocated for enhanced security and salary increases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts.
Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes, but don't make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won't soon replace judges.
At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determines "whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment," Roberts wrote.
Looking ahead warily to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: "I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI."
