That's the Spirit: 9 Different Types of Vodka, Explained
Without vodka we wouldn't have the Dirty Shirley, the trendy espresso Martini or the legendary massive comopolitan cocktail Ina Garten shared on her Instagram in April 2020. The clear spirit with the neutral flavor is a popular booze for cocktails because it plays well with many mixers, but not all vodkas are the same, which is why you'll see many different vodka brands at your local bar. There isn’t just one singular type of vodka, but different ones based on location and ingredients and which one you prefer depends on what you like and how you're using the spirit.
“It's all about creating a match made in *your* cocktail heaven," says Ashley Eldefri, brand ambassador for The Community Spirit Vodka. "Price is only sometimes an indicator of quality: Expensive doesn't necessarily mean better regarding vodka. It's always worth trying different brands and price ranges to find one you enjoy.”
To help you narrow down your choices and make your next trip to the liquor store a bit easier, we chatted with drink experts to break down 9 of the most popular types of vodka based on their ingredients, country of origin, flavor profile and more.

How is Vodka Made?
Making vodka has plenty of nuance, but for the purposes of this discussion, we'll try to distill (pun intended) it down for you. Vodka starts with your base ingredient (often a grain, though it could be potatoes or molasses), water and yeast. That mixture is fermented for a couple of weeks, then strained. The liquid from the fermentation process is distilled, filtered, diluted with water and bottled.

9 Types of Vodka, Explained
1. Rye Vodka
According to Eldefri, vodkas made from grains, such as rye, deliver a spicier character with robust, earthy undertones. It’s generally on the leaner and drier side compared to other types of vodka.
When it comes to ordering cocktails, there are certain drinks rye vodka works particularly well in. “A dirty vodka martini, for example, will showcase the spirit itself, in which case a rye vodka, subtle and dry, will compliment the tangy hint of olive juice best,” says Alissa Marinello, bartender at New Jersey's Vivamee Hospitality properties, Renault Winery & Resort and LBI National.
2. Fruit Vodka
In this case, the vodka itself doesn’t come from fruit. The fruity flavor is added after the distillation process. “Many modern brands offer flavored varieties with additions of fruits or herbs infused after distillation,” says Eldefri. Some popular fruit vodka flavors include melon, strawberry, blueberry, lemon, raspberry, lime and orange.
Marinello recommends steering clear of artificial ingredients and dyes and doing a DIY flavored vodka. “Instead, pour any unflavored vodka in a jug with your fruit of choice,” she says. “It is best to let the vodka infuse for at least three days, and up to seven.” Strain the fruit-infused vodka into a jar or bottle and start shaking up cocktails!
3. Corn Vodka
While corn is a dinnertime favorite for many people, the sweet vegetable is also a popular vodka ingredient. “Corn-based vodkas are renowned for their mellow and slightly sweet profile, coupled with a velvety mouthfeel and notes of vanilla or buttery elements,” says Eldefri.
If you’re in the mood for a martini, Eldefri recommends using a corn-based vodka for a classic cocktail, like the martini, to allow the spirit to speak for itself.
4. Potato Vodka
Before you ask, no, potato vodka doesn’t taste like french fries or mashed potatoes. “Potato-based vodkas are cherished for their creamy, dense texture, imparting a subtly earthy and nutty flavor,” says Eldefri.
Potato vodka pairs exceptionally well with savory foods, including certain cheeses and meats, so you might want to keep that in mind the next time you’re eating out or hosting a dinner party.
5. Molasses Vodka
For a smooth vodka experience, try a spirit made from molasses. “Molasses-based vodkas, often linked to rum production, offer a slightly sweeter and more intricate taste, featuring hints of molasses and caramel,” says Eldefri. The caramely notes in molasses vodka make it nice in a creamy cocktail, like a white Russian.
6. Flavored Vodka
According to Marinello, flavored vodka is fun to work with because you can create more complex cocktails with minimal ingredients. That said, she says to steer clear of this type of vodka if you have a gluten allergy becuase sometimes artificial flavorings are added in post-distillation that can contain this common allergen.
In terms of the types of flavors, there is a wide variety, but many fall into the citrusy (lemonade, grapefruit) or fruity (strawberry, blueberry) categories.
7. Russian Vodka
In addition to the base ingredients, vodkas can vary based on where they're made because different areas are known for specific styles of the spirit. “Russian vodkas, traditionally crafted from wheat or rye and subjected to multiple distillations, are celebrated for their pure and smooth qualities,” says Eldefri. Some of the most popular Russian vodka brands include Beluga Noble, Husky, Marmot Siberian and Smirnoff.
8. American Vodka
Eldefri says that American vodkas span from smooth neutrality to a focus on unique flavors driven by various base ingredients. American vodka is generally made with rye, wheat, potato or corn to create a unique flavor profile with a velvety texture and earthy, warm taste. This will vary based on the bottle, but the best way to think about it is the best of both worlds made from different types of ingredients.
9. Polish Vodka
According to Marinello, Poland and Russia both claim ownership of introducing the first spirit. That said, Polish vodkas, made from potatoes or grains, offer a slightly more robust flavor with hints of earthiness or sweetness.

Professor Jideofor Adibe says the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Mahmood Yakubu should have resigned in the wake of the 2023 elections.
Nigerians went to the polls earlier in the year to elect their president, governors, and national and state lawmakers. But the exercise, especially the presidential election, was heavily criticised by local and foreign bodies.
The criticisms were enough for the INEC chief to have stepped aside, according to Adibe.

“I think I have this several times even in 2019. INEC cannot deliver anything now because it has a legitimacy crisis,” the professor of political science said on Channels Television’s end-of-year show, “2023: Year Of Transition”.
“The first thing that should have been done is for Professor Mahmood to go. In climes where honour means anything, even if you feel you have done your best, to the extent that international and local observers have condemned and heavily criticised the conduct of the election, the best thing you should do is to step aside. His life does not need to depend on it. You step aside for the sake of the integrity of that institution. And for as long as it remains, I don’t think anybody will think they can get anything from INEC.”

(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.

Arvind Panagariya Takes Helm as Chairman of 16th Finance Commission: A New Era in India’s Fiscal Governance
Arvind Panagariya, renowned economist and former chairman of NITI Aayog, has been appointed as the chairman of the 16th Finance Commission of India. This appointment marks a significant development in India’s fiscal governance. The Finance Commission plays a pivotal role in the country’s federal fiscal architecture, evaluating and shaping financial relations between the central and state governments.
Key Role of the Commission
The 16th Finance Commission is expected to submit its report to the President by October 31, 2025. This report will outline the recommended tax revenue sharing formula between the Centre and the States for the five-year period commencing from April 1, 2026. The commission’s recommendations will significantly influence fiscal policies and resource allocation across the nation. The Terms of Reference (ToR) of the commission, approved by the Union Cabinet, also include measures to augment States’ consolidated funds to supplement resources available with Panchayats and Municipalities, and reviewing the present arrangements for financing Disaster Management initiatives.
Panagariya’s Appointment: A Significant Move
Arvind Panagariya’s appointment to the chairmanship of the 16th Finance Commission has been hailed as a significant move. Panagariya, the Jagdish Bhagwati Professor of Indian Political Economy at Columbia University, has had a distinguished career, with a focus on international trade policy, economic development, and economic reforms, particularly in India. His insights and expertise are expected to guide the commission’s deliberations and recommendations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has acknowledged Panagariya’s valuable contributions to major reforms during his tenure at the NITI Aayog.
Implications of the Commission’s Decisions
The impact of the Finance Commission’s decisions extends beyond the mere distribution of resources. By determining the tax revenue sharing formula between the Centre and the States, the Commission directly influences the fiscal capacity of different levels of government. Additionally, it has the power to shape initiatives in Disaster Management and augment resources available with Panchayats and Municipalities. The decisions of the 16th Finance Commission, under the stewardship of Panagariya, will undoubtedly leave a lasting imprint on India’s fiscal landscape.

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.

Many months of war predicted as Netanyahu defies US talk of Palestinian rule
By Nidal al-Mughrabi, Arafat Barbakh and Dan Williams
Cairo/Gaza/Jerusalem: Israeli jets have intensified attacks on central Gaza, residents and medics said, as battles raged through the rubble of towns and refugee camps in a war Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said would take “many more months” to end.
Netanyahu’s comments signal no let-up in a campaign that has killed many thousands and levelled much of Gaza, while his vow to restore Israeli control over the enclave’s border with Egypt raises new questions over an eventual two-state solution.
The Israeli military will release some reservists who were called up to fight Hamas in Gaza, a move it said would help the economy as the country prepares for a prolonged war.
Airstrikes pounded al-Maghazi and al-Bureij in the centre of Gaza, killing 10 people in one house and driving more to flee to Rafah on the border with Egypt from front lines where Israeli tanks are battling Hamas fighters.
Rockets fired from Gaza raced toward central Israel overnight, triggering sirens throughout the central and southern parts of the country. Israeli media carried footage of numerous interceptions. There were no reports of any direct hits.
Hamas’ armed wing said the barrage was in response to “massacres against civilians” in Gaza.
As 2023 drew to a close, Palestinians in Gaza prayed for a ceasefire but had little hope the new year would be better.
“Tonight the sky in world countries will be lit by firecrackers, and joyful laughs will fill the air. In Gaza our skies are now filled with Israeli missiles and tank shells that land on innocent, homeless civilians,” said Zainab Khalil, 57, a resident from northern Gaza now in Rafah.
The stated goal of Israel’s military is to eliminate Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that launched a surprise cross-border assault on Israeli towns on October 7, killing 1200 people, mostly civilians, and grabbing 240 hostages.
Israel’s air and artillery bombardment has killed more than 21,800 people according to health authorities in Hamas-run Gaza, with many more feared dead in the rubble, and pushed nearly all of its 2.3 million people from their homes.
Palestinian health ministry casualty figures do not differentiate between fighters and civilians but the ministry has said that 70 per cent of Gaza’s dead are women and people under 18. Israel disputes Palestinian casualty figures and says it has killed 8000 fighters.
Israel blockaded most food, fuel and medicine after the October 7 attack. It said on Sunday that it was ready to let ships from some Western countries deliver aid directly to Gaza’s shores after security checks in Cyprus.
Gemma Connell, an official with the UN humanitarian agency OCHA, said that many of the tens of thousands of people fleeing to Rafah had no possessions and nowhere to sleep.
“I just am so fearful that the amount of deaths that we’ve been seeing is going to increase exponentially both because of this renewed offensive but also because of these conditions which are literally unbelievable,” she said.
The United States, Israel’s main ally, has urged it to scale down the war and European states have signalled alarm at the extent of Palestinian civilian suffering.
However Netanyahu’s comments last week, when he said he would not resign despite opinion polls showing his government is broadly unpopular and defended his security record despite the October 7 attack, indicate that there will be no easing any time soon.
Netanyahu said the “the war is at its height” and Israel would have to retake control of Gaza’s border with Egypt, an area now crammed with civilians who have fled the carnage across the rest of the enclave.
Retaking the border could also constitute a de facto reversal of Israel’s 2005 withdrawal from Gaza, raising new questions over the future of the enclave and prospects for a Palestinian state.
Washington said Israel should allow a Palestinian government to control Gaza when the conflict is over.
“We just take a fundamentally different view here in terms of what post-conflict Gaza needs to look like,” White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said on ABC television.
Israel’s hard-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich fuelled concerns about the offensive’s aims on Sunday by calling for Palestinians to leave Gaza and make way for Israelis who could “make the desert bloom”.
That clashed with the official Israeli government position that Gazans will be able to return to their homes. Smotrich and other hardline coalition ministers have been excluded from the core war cabinet but have pushed to take part in decisions about the conflict.
In his last comments as Israeli foreign minister before switching to the energy portfolio on Sunday, Eli Cohen said the border was the likely source of weaponry Hamas had obtained over recent years.
Senior Palestinian Authority official Hussein al-Sheikh in the Israeli-occupied West Bank said via social media that Israel taking over the border was evidence of a decision “to completely return the occupation”.
“We moved here from Khan Younis on the basis that Rafah was a safe place. There is no space in Rafah as it is overcrowded with displaced [people],” said Umm Mohammed, 45, a displaced Palestinian woman sheltering by the border.
“If they control the border, where will people go?” she asked, saying that would be a disaster.

To Your Good Health: 100% occlusion of an artery calls for intensive medical therapy
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 79-year-old female who was scheduled for a carotid endarterectomy. The artery was occluded, and the procedure was unsuccessful. The surgeon did not recommend further carotid surgery.
I take warfarin and diltiazem for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib); losartan and hydrochlorothiazide for controlled high blood pressure; and atorvastatin for high cholesterol. I do cardio exercise three hours a week, walk frequently and have an active social life. I recently lost 10 pounds and have begun a plant-based diet.
Will a plant-based diet cause the current plaque in my arteries to dissipate? Can some of the plaque break away and cause a stroke as the arteries clear? What do you think about not pursuing further carotid surgery? -- P.F.
ANSWER: Blockages in the carotid arteries are a common cause of stroke, and partial occlusions of these arteries are often treated by surgery. The indications are precise and depend on the degree of occlusion and the presence of symptoms. Surgery isn't indicated for a 100% occlusion, so I certainly do not recommend pursuing surgery further.
Intensive medical therapy is the key, and blockages can lessen over time with the appropriate treatment. You have outlined many of the crucial parts of treatment. The most important are:
-- Control of blood pressure: High-risk people, such as those with blockages, benefit from strict control, less than 120 over less than 80 mm Hg.
-- Statin medication: High-dose atorvastatin (and possibly additional medication) is used to get the LDL level below 70 mg/dL, possibly below 50 or even 40 mg/dL.
-- Diet: A plant-based diet has been shown to help reduce risk. Several types of diets have been proven to be helpful, but all include small amounts of meat, processed foods and sugar, while emphasizing vegetables, legumes, fruit, whole grains, nuts and fatty fish. You have to find a diet that works for you.
-- Exercise: Cardio exercise and muscle-training exercise each have unique benefits in reducing heart risk.
-- Smoking cessation is mandatory.
-- Weight reduction provides a small benefit for most, coupled with diet and exercise.
-- Control of diabetes is appropriate if applicable.
-- Anticoagulation or antiplatelet drugs: Aspirin is recommended for most, but people with AFib, like yourself, need an individualized approach.
All of these together can dramatically reduce the risk of both stroke and heart attack. These treatments do not increase the risk of embolus (plaque breaking off and causing a stroke).
DEAR DR. ROACH: I started taking lisinopril in the evening based on an article I read. However, I check my blood pressure twice daily, and it is always higher in the morning. I question whether I should take lisinopril when my blood pressure is at its lowest. I also find that my blood pressure is lower after a workout.
I would like to know if this is unusual, what is causing this and when should I be taking lisinopril. -- E.U.
ANSWER: The normal pattern of blood pressure shows it rising sharply upon awakening, and going down before and during sleep. What you are seeing is normal physiology. Lisinopril lasts a long time in the body, so this likely isn't an effect of the lisinopril.
A study a few years ago did seem to show a dramatic benefit in taking blood pressure medicine in the evening compared to the morning, but further studies did not show this benefit.
You can take lisinopril at any time that's convenient, preferably at the same time each day.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu or send mail to 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

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.

Bhagwati Prasad Gopalika Appointed as New Chief Secretary of West Bengal
In a significant reshuffle within the West Bengal administration, Bhagwati Prasad Gopalika, a seasoned bureaucrat from the 1989-batch of Indian Administrative Service (IAS), has been appointed as the new Chief Secretary of the state. This pivotal change in the administration’s helm was announced by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during a Cabinet meeting held on a preceding Wednesday.
Gopalika Succeeds Dwivedi
Gopalika steps into the shoes of HK Dwivedi, whose tenure witnessed several key developments in the state and came to an end on Sunday, December 31. Gopalika’s rich career in various administrative roles and his exemplary track record played a significant role in his appointment to this crucial position.
A Storied Career
Gopalika has served in several key roles within the administrative machinery throughout his career, including stints in the transport, animal resources development, and personnel and administrative reforms departments. His vast experience and understanding of diverse portfolios are expected to bring a fresh perspective and dynamism to the position of Chief Secretary.
New Home Secretary Appointed
Alongside Gopalika’s appointment, Nandini Chakraborty has been appointed as the Home Secretary of West Bengal, marking another significant change in the state’s administrative landscape. Chakraborty, who previously functioned as the Principal Secretary to the Bengal Governor, now becomes the second woman to hold the position of Home Secretary after Lina Chakraborty. Her appointment not only reflects the state’s commitment to women’s empowerment but also brings a wealth of experience to the role.

CHELSEA, Ala. (WIAT) — Hargis Christian Camp is looking for donations to save the camp.
At around 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Hargis Christian Camp President Aaron Knight said the camp was around $30,000 from meeting its goal. The camp needs to reach its goal by the end of Sunday to pay off its $2.5 million property lease.
Even though the funding of the camp has come down to the wire, Knight said he has full faith the camp’s goal will be reached.
“I believe we’ll be fine,” Knight said. “I thought we’d be fine the whole time. Sometimes the Lord kind of waits to the last minute on these things. The very 12th hour as people would say. So we’ve had full faith in him this whole time and believe he would come through, and he has.”

Bombay High Court Faces 7 Lakh Case Backlog as New Year Begins
As we usher in a new year, unresolved legal cases cast a long shadow over the Bombay High Court. The court enters 2024 with a backlog of 7 lakh cases, 83 percent of which are civil cases. This daunting number underscores the persistent issue of judicial delays and case pendency, plaguing the Indian legal system.
The Impact of Legal Backlog
The high volume of unresolved civil cases paints a worrying picture of judicial efficiency. It raises questions about the impact on the individuals and entities embroiled in these long-drawn-out legal battles. The delay in justice delivery is not just about the law’s slow grinding wheels. It also threatens the overall functioning of the law enforcement and legal framework in the region.
A Nationwide Challenge
This legal backlog isn’t isolated to the Bombay High Court. The Supreme Court too grapples with an overwhelming caseload. In 2023, despite a surge in case disposals, the court was left wrestling with a backlog of 80,000 cases. The pandemic had a harrowing impact on the judiciary’s efficiency, leading to a spike in pending cases.
Reforms and Their Impact
In response, 2023 saw the introduction of technological integration and reforms aimed at expediting urgent cases. This led to a surge in case filings. The increase in pending cases from 2022 to 2023 was modest, but the reforms demand time, persistence, and stability to take root. The responsibility now falls on future Chief Justices to ensure the sustainability of these initiated reforms.
Addressing the backlog of cases and improving the pace of legal proceedings is a critical issue for judicial administration in Bombay and India as a whole. The figures suggest a need for systemic reforms and potential interventions such as increasing the number of judges, streamlining procedures, or adopting more technology-driven solutions to expedite legal processes.

MANILA - Red Velvet members Irene, Seulgi and Wendy on Monday midnight ushered in 2024 alongside a packed crowd and a powerhouse list of Filipino acts during the annual Bonifacio Global City countdown held at the 5th Avenue in Taguig.
In what the Taguig LGU described as the “first-ever” in the Philippines, it hired a world class K-Pop act in Red Velvet, with members Irene and Seulgi performing as their sub-unit (Red Velvet-Irene & Seulgi) and Wendy as a soloist, to perform in the city’s financial district.
Their countdown appearance is the second time this year after the three of them, including youngest member Yeri and sans lead vocalist Joy, performed at the Mall of Asia Arena last May 8 during the Philippine stop of their "R to V" tour.
Red Velvet members Irene, Seulgi and Wendy on Monday midnight welcomed the year 2024 alongside a packed crowd and a powerhouse list of Filipino acts during the annual Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. AC Coloma, ABS-CBN News
After OPM titan KZ Tandingan, Adie, and viral hitmaker Zack Tabudlo performed, Red Velvet’s main vocalist Wendy, clad in a white dress, started off with a balladic performance of her solo debut track “Like Water” off the extended play of the same name.
She followed this up with R&B pop track “Why Can’t You Love Me” before Irene and Seulgi joined her for a short moment. This was also Wendy's first time performing both songs in front of a Filipino crowd.
Irene and Seulgi went to work, showed no rust and put their tutting skills to work with “Naughty,” the second single off their debut EP “Monster."
The duo last performed songs off "Monster" when they promoted the EP in July 2020, when audiences were banned from visiting music shows amid the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"It's been a long time since we performed as a unit," Seulgi told the crowd through a translator.
They capped off their performance as they danced and sang to “Monster” last before joining the crowd in ushering in the New Year.
And when the clock struck 12, the trio celebrated the night away, before OPM legend Ely Buendia took over and performed timeless Eraserheads classics such as "Ang Huling El Bimbo," "Super Proxy," among others, completing the night.
"Kasi parang every year we keep on leveling up, that's our goal eh. Sabi namin we really have to embrace the spirit of our city which is vibrant, transformative. Diba parang kailangan lagi tayong nagi-improve. Kaya lang minsan katulad last year it was fun. It was Sarah G. and Bamboo. Sabi namin, papaano tayo le-level up," Chi Bocobo of Taguig City's mayor office, said in an interview.
"How can we bring more joy to the people? We were brainstorming and found that K-Pop has a really special spot in the hearts of the Filipinos... Naisip namin na why don't we give them something unexpected?"
In an intimate interview with the media at a press conference in Taguig, Red Velvet, Wendy in particular, hoped for the group's fans and members to be happy and healthy this year.
"All I wanna say about next year or my resolution is just to be healthy and happy. For me and the group and for everyone here," the main vocalist said.
The trio present in Manila said a 10th debut anniversary album was being considered, as they celebrate it on August 1.

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."

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.

BSF’s 2023 Achievements: Neutralizing Drones, Seizing Narcotics, and Ensuring Border Security
In an era where security threats are continually evolving, the Border Security Force (BSF) of Punjab, India, has made significant strides against illicit activities across the Indo-Pakistan border. This year, the BSF has neutralized an impressive 107 drones, successfully countering airborne smuggling operations.
Interception of Aerial Smuggling Tactics
These drones, reportedly originating from Pakistan, were used to transport illegal arms and narcotics into Punjab. Punjab, a state already grappling with rampant drug issues, has seen a rise in such unconventional smuggling methods. The BSF’s ability to intercept these drones has played a crucial role in combating the drug menace, with the force confiscating a substantial quantity of heroin totaling to 442.395 kg. Alongside the drug haul, the security personnel have seized 23 weapons and 505 rounds of ammunition.
Direct Confrontations and Human Security Breaches
In addition to neutralizing these aerial threats, the BSF has dealt with direct confrontations, resulting in the death of three intruders from Pakistan. As for human security breaches, the force has apprehended 37 foreign nationals. The apprehended individuals include 23 Pakistan nationals (two identified as smugglers), 14 Bangladesh nationals, and 95 Indian suspects (35 identified as smugglers). In a humanitarian gesture, the BSF also repatriated 12 Pakistani nationals who had inadvertently crossed the international border.
Modern Technologies Enhancing Border Security
Managing the challenging 553-km border terrain between India and Pakistan is no small feat. The BSF’s remarkable achievements in border security operations can be attributed to the adoption of modern technologies. The use of anti-drone systems and biometric devices has been instrumental in securing the country’s frontiers against these unconventional threats. BSF’s proactive approach in embracing technology to counter illicit activities is a testament to their commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the nation.

A North Carolina cop was fatally shot while attempting to stop an ongoing crime while off-duty, the Greensboro Police Department (GPD) said Sunday.
Sgt. Philip Dale Nix had served on the force for 23 years when he “witnessed a crime occurring” around 4:00 p.m. Saturday at a Sheetz gas station in Colfax, GPD Chief John Thompson said in a statement.
“The officer approached the suspects and was subsequently shot,” he said. “Another off-duty Greensboro Police officer and a Guilford County Paramedic were on scene and immediately rendered aid.”
The wounded sergeant was transported to a local medical facility where he succumbed to his injuries, according to Thompson, who added that Nix ”was a loving husband, father, son and brother.”
GPD announced in a Sunday press release that three suspects have been arrested in connection with Nix’s death: Jamere Justice Foster, 18, Z’quriah Le’Pearce Blackwell, 18, and John Walter Morrison, 28.
Press statement tonight from Chief Thompson: Thank you for coming, I want to thank Mayor Vaughn for joining us…
Posted by Greensboro Police Department on Saturday, December 30, 2023
“Foster is charged with First Degree Murder, Larceny, and Conspiracy to Commit Larceny and is held with no bond,” police said. “Blackwell is charged with Accessory after the fact to First Degree Murder and is held with a $500,000 bond.”
Morrison, the eldest of the bunch, has been charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder, larceny, and conspiracy to commit larceny. He is also being held without bond.
“Additional charges may be forthcoming as the investigation continues,” the department added.
GPD credited the Winston-Salem Police Department for assisting in arresting the suspects.
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper offered his condolences and support in tracking down the suspects before they were apprehended.
“I spoke with Greensboro Police Chief Thompson earlier this evening offering all available state resources to catch those who killed a Greensboro police officer,” Cooper wrote on X. “Our prayers are with the Greensboro police and family and loved ones. Every effort must be made to apprehend those responsible and bring justice in this tragic situation.”

Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan also made a heartfelt statement on the social media platform.
“Today we lost one of [our] own in a senseless act of violence. Heartfelt condolences to his family & the extended GPD family,” she wrote. “This will be felt for a long time. The impact that he has had in our community can’t be overstated. Thank you to the agencies assisting in this investigation.”

2023 is over and what better way to celebrate the new year than planning your 2024 annual leave to maximise your time off.
Using a couple of clever tricks you can turn 23 days of annual leave into 48 luscious days off in 2024.
And we're going to show you how.
But before we start, a couple of caveats:
- In order for these dates to work, you have to be in a job that does not require you to work any national or state public holidays
- Dates will vary from state to state because some public holidays change around the country
Okay lets go!
January: Book four days leave for nine days off
Already run down by the end of January? You can nab yourself a lovely start-of-year vacay at the end of the month thanks to the January 26 holiday falling on a Friday.
To secure time off from:
- Saturday, January 20 — Sunday, January 28
Book annual leave on these dates:
- Monday, January 22
- Tuesday, January 23
- Wednesday, January 24
- Thursday, January 25
March/April: Book eight days leave for 16 days off
Ah, the bliss of Easter falling in March. Take advantage of the bunny hopping along early in 2024 to turn eight days of annual leave into over half a month of time off.
To secure time off from:
- Saturday, March 23 — Sunday, April 7
Book annual leave on these dates:
- Monday, March 25
- Tuesday, March 26
- Wednesday, March 27
- Thursday, March 28
- Tuesday, April 2 (Tasmanians can skip this day thanks to their Easter Tuesday holiday)
- Wednesday, April 3
- Thursday, April 4
- Friday, April 5
June: Book four days leave for nine days off
This hack is built around the King's Birthday holiday on Monday, June 10.
Sorry, Queensland and Western Australia you won't be able to get on board with this one.
But you can use the same configuration for your state's King's Birthday holiday in October for Queensland and September for WA.
To secure time off from:
- Saturday, June 8 — Sunday, June 16
Book annual leave on these dates:
- Tuesday, June 11
- Wednesday, June 12
- Thursday, June 13
- Friday, June 14
December/January 2025: book seven days leave for 14 days off
Annnnnnd we're back to Christmas! This hack will work for most of the country but South Australia and Northern Territory only have to book five days off (lucky ducks).
To secure time off from:
- Saturday, December 21 — Sunday, January 5
Book annual leave on these dates:
- Monday, December 23
- Tuesday, December 24 (don't worry about booking this date if you're in NT and SA)
- Friday, December 27
- Monday, December 30
- Tuesday, December 31 (don't worry about booking this date if you're in NT and SA)
- Thursday, January 2
- Friday, January 3
Quick tip!
You can pull the ol' four days annual leave for nine days off for most public holidays that fall on a Monday or Friday.
For example, Northern Territory's Picnic Day holiday falls on Monday August 5. Take August 6, 7, 8 and 9 off to enjoy a prolonged break.
Make sure you take a look at when your state's unique public holidays fall to maximise your leave.
You can check your state public holidays on the Fair Work Australia website.When is Easter in 2024?
Unlike Christmas Day, which is on the same date every year, Easter can move around from year to year.
In 2024, Easter is coming early with Good Friday falling on March 29, Easter Sunday on March 31 and Easter Monday on April 1.
Technically Easter can fall any time between March 25 and April 25. The reason it moves every year actually has to do with the Moon.
In 325AD the first major church council, the Council of Nicaea, determined that Easter should fall on the Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox.
That is why the date moves and why Easter festivities are often referred to as "moveable feasts" — we're all waiting for the Moon to be juuuuust right.

Yes, it's impossibly early in the process. But with the 2012 NFL Draft now in the rearview, attention already has begun to shift to 2013. Last season, the Indianapolis Colts came out of nowhere (thanks to Mr. Manning's neck injury) to earn the No. 1 pick. Who is the early "favorite" to earn the first selection next season?
There are two front-runners at the moment and they were partners in a top-four trade this draft: The Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns.
In honor of this early projection of dubiousness, I give the edge to Cleveland to be picking first overall in 2013 because it doesn't know if Colt McCoy or rookie Brandon Weeden will be the starting quarterback. At least the Vikings know Christian Ponder is their guy. The rest of the roster remains rather devoid of playmakers, although Trent Richardson and wideout Greg Little in his second season could add a little hot sauce to the otherwise unseasoned dish the Browns are offering up.
In addition, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens aren't going anywhere in the AFC North. The Cincinnati Bengals, if they can avoid the typical bottoming out after a good season that usually transpires, are on the come up.
I know the percentages are against it a bit, but I am going with the Colts.
They have a long way to go in transitioning from the blueprint they had before on offense and defense. When you are as successful as the Colts had been, it is hard to keep drafting late and stay on top. The system caught up with them. They will need a couple of years to complete the changeover.
Also, as good as Andrew Luck will be, he is still a rookie. Rookies have trouble with turnovers.
Let me be the first to extend my condolences to Vikings fans for the atrocious 2012 season their team is going to endure.
GM Rick Spielman is being praised in some corners for taking LT Matt Kalil, but I think he should've taken a corner -- namely, Morris Claiborne. Sure, protecting the quarterback's blindside is important, but providing premium protection for the thoroughly mediocre Christian Ponder is like installing a $50,000 car alarm in your used Kia Sorrento. Instead, the Vikes should've addressed their longstanding need for a shutdown corner, especially considering the team's six annual games against Megatron, Brandon Marshall and Greg Jennings. Speaking of those division foes, the NFC North may be the toughest in the whole NFL this season.
Here's the good part, Vikings fans: About one year from the time you read this, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will step to the podium in Radio City Music Hall and say, "With the first pick of the 2013 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings select ... Matt Barkley, Quarterback, USC." Hmm, I wonder if Ponder will give up his No. 7 jersey to the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner?
The easiest answer is the right one. The Colts are the favorites to be picking No. 1 again in 2013 because they are the rare NFL team that has punted on an entire season.
In every statement owner Jim Irsay makes, the Colts have made it clear they are "rebuilding." They cut a number of valuable veterans off a team that was already the worst in the league. They are drastically changing their offensive and defensive schemes. They have a first-time head coach and will rely on a boatload of rookies on offense.
The Colts will be good again with Andrew Luck at the helm. It may even come in the 2013 regular season. For one year, however, Luck will take his lumps, just like Peyton Manning once did.

Vikings could get No. 1 pick and a new home
Teams who I thought would be in the running a month ago have been helped by the draft (Browns, Rams, Colts) and the schedule (Dolphins). So that leaves Minnesota as the team that is the front-runner for the No. 1 overall pick in 2013, where it could be another big-time QB.
Who knows when Adrian Peterson is going to be ready to play in 2012? But that doesn't matter, because with him last year, the Vikings won three games. Percy Harvin was the best WR in the game the last six weeks of 2011. Toby Gerhart was terrific in relief of Peterson. And still, three wins. Christian Ponder is going to have to make huge leaps this season to make sure he still has a job in 2013, but I'm not convinced he can do it. They'll be 0-6 in their division because everyone else is loaded.
If they spiral early, Minnesota won't rush Adrian Peterson back and the season will take a "lost" turn where the team will be mailing it in by November. And then we'll see if Minnesota still wants a football team. This will be a bad season to be bad for Vikings fans who want to keep their team from moving West like the Lakers.

Delaware Supreme Court Revives Shareholder Suit Against AmerisourceBergen
In a ground-shaking turn of events, the Delaware Supreme Court has revived a shareholder lawsuit against pharmaceutical titan, AmerisourceBergen Corp, for its involvement in the nation’s opioid crisis. The Court of Chancery had initially dismissed the derivative action, but the plaintiffs successfully dodged a motion to dismiss due to the late filing of charges. However, the vice chancellor conceded to the directors’ argument that the dismissal was warranted under the pre-suit demand futility test. The plaintiffs then appealed to the Supreme Court, which issued a rare reversal of the Chancery Court’s decision.
Supreme Court’s Rare Reversal
The Supreme Court’s ruling stated that the Court of Chancery incorrectly allowed a federal opinion to influence its decision. It concluded that the Chancery Court erred by undermining the plaintiffs’ standing in deference to the factual findings in a West Virginia decision. The high court affirmed that the plaintiffs had established their derivative standing at the time the complaint was filed.

Three workers at an Academy Sports + Outdoors store in Metairie, Louisiana, were reportedly fired for trying to stop a shoplifter who fled with a gun on December 16.
Michelle Sutton, who was a team lead, and two of her fellow employees were showing a customer a pistol when the incident happened, Fox Business reported Friday.
However, the man ran off with the gun which left the store’s workers in disbelief. When someone informed Sutton what happened via her radio, the young woman said she “took off,” adding she knew she needed a way to help police officers.
The trio searched for the suspected thief but were unsuccessful in locating the man.
A few days later, Sutton said the business’ firearm compliance personnel fired her and the others for how they responded during the tense moments.
Store policy apparently does not allow workers to chase or physically restrain someone suspected of theft who is running from the scene.
“Even though me and the other associate did stay on the sidewalk it fell under we left the front porch, as they call it,” Sutton told WGNO.
However, loss prevention workers or managers may detain a suspect who fled the store. Those individuals are told to approach the suspect at a distance and also request that they reenter the building.
“No clarification on getting like location for, you know, police,” Sutton commented. She hopes to be reinstated at her job but wants policy regarding such incidents to be made cleared for the future.
In July 2018, the manager of a Tallahassee, Florida, Academy store was fired after he subdued an individual who allegedly tried to steal a handgun, Breitbart News reported at the time.
The outlet noted that local law enforcement indicated the suspect had stolen two guns from Cash America Pawn a few hours before he went into the Academy store.
More recently, a grocery store employee in Centennial, Colorado, was fired for catching three men on video as they stole $500 worth of items from a King Soopers store, Breitbart News reported in July.
In yet another similar incident, an injured 68-year-old Lowe’s worker in Rincon, Georgia, who was fired for chasing shoplifters was offered her job back in July.
While speaking of the initial incident, Donna Hansbrough said, “They say that if you see somebody stealing something out the door, not to pursue, not to go out. I lost it.”
“I grabbed the cart. I don’t actually remember going out but I did. And I grabbed the cart that had the stolen items in it,” she added.

A fireworks display, lasting 10 minutes, lights up the sky during the New Year’s eve celebration at the Quezon Memorial Circle. The park is one of the places where fireworks displays were allowed after Mayor Joy Belmonte issued an executive order regulating the manufacture, sale, and use of firecrackers in the city as a safety precaution.

The Nigerian Army on Sunday assured Nigerians of improved security in 2024, amid several attacks that characterised the year across the country.
Speaking on “2023: Year Of Transition,” a Channels Television’s special end-of-year programme to mark, the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, specifically said troops will redouble their efforts in the coming year.
“I am promising Nigerians that the troops will redouble their efforts and we will expand the frontier of peace and stability across the country in all the geo-political zones.
“We are working in Benue, and the people are happy with what we are doing in Benue. We are working in Niger, gone are the days when schoolchildren used to be kidnapped en masse in Niger, Kaduna State.”

The army chief said security has improved and that the era of attacks on train facilities or correctional centres was over.
According to him, the nation’s security agencies are working round the clock to make Nigeria and its citizens safe.
Total Security Not Guaranteed?
During the show, the army chief ruled out the possibility of total security in the country. But he pledged improvement.
“We cannot get to a point of total security all in 24 hours but we will work gradually at it. I promise Nigerians that in 2024, the situation will improve considerably,” he added.
On the recent attacks in Plateau State, Lagbaja said the army authorities will deploy more troops to maintain peace in the North-Central region, a few days after three deadly attacks left over 195 persons killed and scores injured.
“I have reeled out our plans for 2024 for Plateau State. The troops that we are deploying to Plateau, are on their way to Plateau now.
“This night or first light tomorrow, they should be on the Plateau. We are sending more equipment to enhance the efficiency of the troops,” the army chief said on Sunday.
The army chief also dismissed calls by many for self-defence in the wake of the attacks.
The death toll in Christmas Eve attacks on villages in Plateau climbed to almost 200, according to local authorities.
Over 50 villages were said to be affected by the attacks which authorities in Nigeria have condemned with President Bola Tinubu calling for a thorough probe.

Palestinian terrorists rang in the New Year on Sunday evening by firing a large barrage of rockets at Israeli cities at midnight, in a statement of defiance against the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) advance deep into the Gaza Strip.
According to the Cumta Telegram channel, which tracks Israel’s Red Alert system, the barrage targeted the cities along the corridor from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, just seconds after 12:00 a.m.
Most of the rockets appear to have been intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system.

Still, the sirens disturbed Israeli families who had not stayed up to count down the last seconds of 2023. Families with small children had to retreat into bomb shelters.
The IDF said this week that it has seized 30,000 rockets and explosives from Palestinian terrorist sites in Gaza since the start of the war. The remaining rocket capacity of Hamas is thought to be concentrated in the central Gaza Strip, where the IDF has only just begun fighting.
The IDF said that it will be releasing some reserve units from duty as 2024 begins — five brigades, according to the Times of Israel — as fighting eases somewhat, though the Israeli military expects the war to continue all year as it uproots the Hamas terror network.

Delhi CEO’s Response to Employee’s ‘Late-Night Party Leave’ Request Sparks Debate
The modern work culture, known for its rigidity and strict adherence to protocols, was recently stirred by a unique exchange between a CEO and his employee. Ankit Aggarwal, the CEO of Unstop, a Delhi-based company, has been thrust into the social media spotlight following his response to an employee’s request for a ‘late-night party leave.’
Openness and Honesty at the Workplace
Aggarwal took to LinkedIn to share a screenshot of the conversation, underlining the significance of transparency within a team. In his post, he stressed that such frankness is critical in fostering trust, which, in turn, paves the way for better communication and collaboration within the team.
Public Response: A Mixed Bag
This incident ignited a debate on social media about leave policies and work culture. Numerous users lauded Aggarwal for promoting a positive work environment where employees can openly express their reasons for leave. However, the CEO’s approach also received its share of criticism.
Some LinkedIn users questioned Aggarwal’s decision to publicize the conversation and his handling of the situation. Critics argued that the employee’s approach seemed more like an instruction than a request and was disrespectful, potentially affecting team dynamics.
CEO’s Clarification Amid Criticism
In response to the criticism, Aggarwal clarified his intent behind sharing the interaction. He said his goal was not to highlight his response but to demonstrate the culture of open communication at Unstop. He expressed that valuing honesty is a key element in their work culture, thereby justifying his decision to make the conversation public.

Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams says that 2024 is going to be “surprising on the upside,” rather than the grim year many observers expect.
“I know I feel like everything’s coming apart,” he said. “It feels like the wheels have completely come off the country, and it’s just going to crumble any moment. … That’s a fake feeling.”
“There’s just a ton of stuff going right,” he said. He mentioned advances in technology, and said that everything from “loneliness” to “climate change” would be solved through innovation.
He added that people were starting to see through the mainstream media, as well as ideological frameworks like ESG — environment, social, and governance — that are used to impose politics in the workplace.
All of that portended a good year, he said.
Adams had a dramatic 2023, after his famous comic strip was “completely canceled” worldwide, and all of his publishers dropped his projects, in the wake of comments about a poll of racial attitudes that were taken out of context. But Adams moved Dilbert to a subscription-based distribution model, including Locals.com, and continued to delight fans and to win adherents as a political voice.
Adams is famous for predicting Donald Trump would win the 2016 election. He also predicted — almost uniquely — that 2023 would be a good economic year, rather than a year of recession (which never arrived). He believes Trump has a good shot in 2024.
“Whatever it is about America, we have a creative energy and a can-do spirit. Although we talk about everything going to hell, that’s just part of our process. … We are the best ‘fixers’ that the world has ever seen.”

Delhi CEO’s Response to Employee’s Leave Request Sparks Online Debate
Unstop’s Delhi based CEO, Ankit Aggarwal, has ignited a fiery discussion on social media about leave policies and workplace culture, after his unconventional reaction to an employee’s leave request to prolong a late-night party went viral. The CEO’s LinkedIn post, containing a screenshot of the conversation with the nameless employee, emphasized the necessity of openness within a team, highlighting its benefits such as enhanced trust, improved communication, and collaboration.
A Mixed Bag of Reactions
While Aggarwal’s approach received applause from various social media users who appreciated the fostering of a supportive work environment, it also encountered criticism. A section of the audience questioned the appropriateness of the employee’s request, particularly in scenarios where team reliance plays a significant role. They also expressed concern over the CEO’s decision to share the interaction publicly.
Contextualizing the CEO’s Intent
In response to the critiques, Aggarwal clarified his stance. He emphasized that his intention was to underline the culture of honesty and open communication prevalent in Unstop, rather than focusing on his personal reaction to the leave request.
Reflecting Broader Workplace Trends
Aggarwal’s story is a microcosm of wider workplace trends. A recent report infers that 80% of bosses regret asking their employees to return to the office. Such incidents highlight the changing dynamics of the workplace, where the focus is gradually shifting towards employee well-being and open communication.

(iSeeCars) – If you’re currently leasing a car and nearing the end of your lease term, you might be wondering what you should do next. Although new car inventory is rebounding, some new cars are selling above MSRP and car leases are also significantly more expensive than they were pre-pandemic. And while used car prices continue to fall, they are also more expensive than they were before the pandemic.
In light of the current new and used car market, buying out your car lease might be your smartest option. How does the process work and should you buy out your car lease? We have the important answers.
How a Lease Buyout Works
If you’re leasing a vehicle, most finance companies will include a buyout option as part of your lease agreement. Your auto lease contract will state the end-of-lease purchase price based on the car’s residual value, which was estimated when you signed your lease. Leasing companies will often contact you near the end of your lease term to communicate your lease-end options, which will include either the buyout option or returning the vehicle to the dealership.
Residual Value in Today’s Market
Dealers calculate a vehicle’s residual value based on its projected depreciation, and this value is locked in at the beginning of a car’s lease. And if the start of your lease was before the current supply chain issues, your car’s lease buyout price might be well-below current market value. That means that at the end of the lease contract you could purchase your leased vehicle and either sell it for a profit, or you can continue driving your lightly used car at a price well below market value.
Understanding the Value of Your Leased Car
Here’s how you can compare the vehicle’s residual value or buyout amount with its market price. To calculate the market value of the vehicle, you can use pricing tools like the iSeeCars free VIN Check, Kelley Blue Book, or Edmunds. Be sure to check your original contract for extra fees like a purchase option fee to determine the total amount you will be paying for the vehicle.
And be extra vigilant about dealer or finance company “add on” fees that were not specifically called out in your lease contract.
Leased Car Buyout Price: Other Factors to Consider
There are many factors that contribute to the buyout price of your car. This includes the vehicle’s make, model, residual value, and current value. The amount you paid for a down payment will also affect the buyout price.
Additional fees include:
- Buyout Fee/Purchase Option Charge: The leasing company will charge you for opting to buy the car rather than turning it in.
- State sales tax
- Registration fees
Can I Finance My Lease Buyout?
You can finance your lease buyout just as you would a regular used car purchase. The dealership will be eager to offer you financing, but you should also examine outside financing options as you would for a typical car loan. That means comparing interest rates from other lenders including banks and credit unions to see who will give you the best rate on your car lease buyout loan. Some lenders even offer auto loans specifically for lease buyouts. Keep in mind that the shorter your loan term, the more you will save on interest payments, but your monthly payments will be higher. That means you should opt for the shortest loan term you can afford. Also, your credit score will determine your loan rate, so make sure it is in good standing in order to get a competitive rate. If you have a poor credit score, you should consider having a co-signer.
Other Things to Consider
Anyone who has leased a car knows about the extra fees that often come at the end of the car lease. These fees include going over the mileage limits or any excess wear and tear your vehicle may have like scratches or dents. Buying out your lease will get you off the hook for these fees, so if either situation exists with your lease it is yet another reason to buy your car when the lease ends versus returning it.
Some lease agreements offer early lease buyouts which allow you to buy the vehicle before your term expires. Make sure you refer to your leasing agreement to see if you will have to pay extra fees for an early buyout. If there are fees involved, it’s likely a smarter decision to wait until the end of your lease.
Bottom Line
Buying out your vehicle lease can be a lucrative way to save on a lightly-used vehicle in today’s market. You’ll also avoid the low inventory and markups on new cars. What’s more, you can enjoy the savings that come along with buying a used car in today’s market while avoiding the guesswork about how the car was driven and maintained by its previous owner. You can even sell your vehicle to a private seller for a profit if you don’t want to keep driving it. So if you are nearing the end of your lease, you should at least consider purchasing your vehicle instead of taking out another lease or buying a new or used car to replace it.

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.

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.

“So, black-eyed peas we have this every year for good luck,” she says. We have any type of greens you can have cabbage, turnip greens, collard greens mustard, and that is for wealth. We have cornbread that represents the gold. We have any kind of pork; whatever you like that is for the bountiful prosperity coming into the new year. Then we have sliced tomatoes and that is going to be for your health.”

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

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.

Fatai Owoseni, the Special Adviser on Security Matters to Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has blamed the recent Plateau State attacks on lack of intelligence by security agencies.
The North-Central state has experienced a string of attacks on villages since December 24 which has left over 200 dead and scores injured.
Gunmen launched attacks between Saturday evening and Tuesday morning in Nigeria’s Plateau State, a region plagued for several years by religious and ethnic tensions.

Speaking during an interview on “2023: Year Of Transition,” a Channels TV’s special end-of-year programme, Owoseni, a former Lagos State Commissioner for Police, said the attacks in Plateau should not be taken in isolation.
He said, “What has happened in Plateau show clearly lack of intelligence. Why won’t that be that? You have all the security institutions, they don’t work together. They don’t see their roles as complementary, there is competition.
“We must probably redefine what our internal security architecture is. We talk of internal security architecture, who is taking the lead?”
Recalling his service as the Benue State police commissioner in 2018, Owoseni stated that most of the non-state actors wreaking havoc in the North-Central were identified as insurgents coming from outside the country.
‘Self-Defence’
Also speaking on the show, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja dismissed calls for self-defence in the wake of attacks in Plateau.
While the development has elicited outcry in and outside the country, the Army Chief believes self-defence amounts to “anarchy”.
“I do not support that. I think that is a call for anarchy,” he maintained.
The latest attacks have also drawn criticism from several quarters.
“I am deeply alarmed by the series of attacks by gunmen on multiple rural communities in Plateau State,” UN rights chief Volker Turk said in a statement.
“I call on the Nigerian authorities to investigate this incident promptly, thoroughly, and independently, consistent with international human rights law, and to hold those responsible to account in fair trials.”

MANILA -- Thousands of Filipinos welcomed the new year in grand revelry, with star-studded countdown events held all over Metro Manila.
There were almost 20,000 Filipinos along Ayala Avenue in Makati City, according to organizers of the 'Nostalgia Meets the Future' New Year Countdown concert. Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez headlined the event with a one-hour set.
Her most anticipated performance was 'Written in the Sand', dubbed as the Pinoy millennium anthem.
Velasquez recreated her iconic performance of the song, which ushered in the year 2000 for most Filipinos. This time, she was joined by acclaimed theater artists in the country.
After 24 years, Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez recreates her iconic performance of 'Written in the Sand', which ushered the new millennium in 2000. Jervis Manahan, ABS-CBN News.
Prior to Velasquez, PPop group SB19 also performed their hit songs such as Gento.
Spongecola also performed their hits Pasubali, Tambay, Puso. It's Showtime host Karylle, wife of Spongecola vocalist Yael Yuzon made a surprise appearance in the show.
A lights and laser show and a grand fireworks display was held at midnight.
FIREWORKS DISPLAY
In Rizal Park, Filipinos arrived as early as Sunday morning to avoid the traffic and secure prime spots for the festivities in the evening, which featured a spectacular fireworks display.
Picnic setups dotted the landscape, showcasing the dedication of families and friends who had prepared for a joyous celebration despite the scorching sun.
"Lagi kami talaga dito... Taun-taon kasama yung pamilya ko..dito masaya yung pagsalubong ng bagong taon," said Melinda Megallon from Bulacan.
The Luneta Park administration emphasized certain guidelines for celebrants: the use of plastic mats was prohibited to preserve the park's grass, and the breaking of items like soft drink bottles was strictly forbidden. Alcohol, cigarettes, and vaping were also not allowed within Luneta Park premises.
Security measures were in place with personnel stationed throughout the park, particularly at entrance and exit points.
Quezon City also had a fireworks display at midnight to highlight their own countdown at the Quezon City Memorial Circle.
The event was headlined by Vice Ganda, who was the last performer to take the stage and entertained the crowd until the stroke of midnight.
OPM bands including The Dawn, Autotelic, Orange and Lemons, Cueshé, and Mayonnaise also performed, while drag queens including Precious Paula Nicole, Captivating Katkat, Bernie, and Arizona Brandy were also present.
STAR-STUDDED
Bonifacio Global City rang in 2024 with a star-studded line-up of performers, including three of the five members of Red Velvet: Irene, Seulgi and Wendy. Also featured were some of the country's top artists in Ely Buendia, KZ Tandingan, Zack Tabudlo and young artist Adie.
Red Velvet's Wendy started her two-song set at 11:18 p.m., performing 'Like Water' and 'Why Can't You Love Me.' Irene and Seulgi went on to perform 'Naughty' and 'Monster.'
After their performance, they joined officials of the local government of Taguig City and Buendia in the countdown to 2024. A ten-minute fireworks display showered the BGC skies.
Buendia closed the party with a set of Eraserheads hits.

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.

Who can get a break from enjoying arguments? In any case, pause, arguments are not something to get a departure from. Solid discussions, sharing of one's focuses, and rationale on any matter are a great idea to go. It, truth be told, shows the type level of a debtor, writer, and moderator.
Along these lines, all you need to learn is the pieces of a short essay, discusses, and so forth Allow us to start from the real meaning or meaning of an argument.
Regardless of whether it's a discussion content or essay, you need to introduce your argument in one widespread example. That example comprises some nuts and bolts, ie, the motivation behind the argument, the case, statements about counterclaims, sensible thinking, slivers of proof, and so on.
To what you call an ideal argumentative essay?
- We allude you to an authentic idea of perfect essay writing that spotlights the crowd and your influence style. For instance, have you seen the discussions of leaders of America? Have you at any point visited a political race or financial expert's meetings? On the off chance that not, you probably seen or followed up a live mission through live or recorded transmissions.
- The justification behind asking this is taking you to their methodologies and styles of counterattacks and handling arguments on sensible grounds.
- Assuming you intently notice, they stay quiet and do counterattacks with the impact of rationale. Individuals acclaim the people who come with a piece of sound information and persuading power.
- Assume they leave any flimsy part at any stage. Then, at that point, the opposer will separate that point and give a tough time.
- In this way, while writing an argument, when you give a feeble statement to your perusers and to the individuals who will write research against your viewpoint, the same thing will occur with you. You need to confront the results then, at that point.
- That is the reason we recommend you do sufficient analysis and profound activity of your very own statement. Remember those forthcoming inquiries of pundits.
- Flawlessness needs immaculate, easily engaged, and on-point writing. For this, you need to put forth attempts past your cutoff points too. So don't stop for a second to come out of the case and comfort zone. As this battle is for some time, yet products of the soil are for a more extended time. Laying outacademic goals resemble making a plan for how you'll prevail in college and then some.
Five Parts You Need to Know:
- It's anything but a one-segment thing. Truth be told, it is isolated into five segments. Along these lines, put equivalent spotlight and consideration on all segments. They are interlinked, and one upholds the other, and so on.
- From the get-go, the writer needs to form a proposition. By this, we mean a theoretical, focal theme, or essence of the entire essay. It is absolutely identified with the topic and your principle objective of the exploration question. What is your standpoint? How is it material as far as this exploration? How does your decision will pose the case convincing?
- It's just plain obvious, these inquiries need earlier answers that an essay writer should have before start. Along these lines, causing a layout and forming the heading and thoughts as per that will to for sure work in support of yourself. In the event that you need an admission essay service, apply for the services of the best writing service.
Proceed to nail with the strong arguments:
- At the point when you are done proposing every one of the inquiries and focuses, that infers the need to follow your argumentative statements, start counter addressing.
- You must be gracious and kind while treating other's focuses. Else, you are very nearly losing the crowd.
Supporting sheds of proof:
- Obviously, not a solitary hunt to write my critical analysis essay that is free from the requirement for proof and realities. Remember the straightforward thing that in case you are contradicting the focuses and not accompanying raw numbers to demonstrate yours, then, at that point, the entirety of this will go to no end.
Don't forget to write an ideal end:
- End your essay with an influential end to feature the answers to your exploration questions.
Utilize the transitional expressions:
- To keep up with the stream and keep the substance drawing in favor of utilizing this.

Seal playfully tugs at scuba diver's hat in cute moment caught on cam
A doctor, scuba diver and underwater videographer has made more than a few friends underwater since he started diving in the UK nearly 20 years ago.
Video from Ben Burville, who works by day as a doctor in the coastal town of Amble, Northumberland, shows him scuba diving with two curious seals, one of which tugs at his scuba hat while the other holds his hand.
The adorable moment is one of dozens Burville has caught on camera since he started swimming with the seals decades ago.
In his latest, Burville posted the video to X with the caption, "I had a strange feeling that there was something behind me."
Burville says he specializes in UK marine life and researching dolphins and seals.
Watch: Moose deadpans to camera after getting pied in the face with snow
Earlier this month, two lucky fishermen had an awe-inspiring encounter when they spotted a "superpod" of hundreds of dolphins just off the coast of Sussex in the English Channel.
Jake Davison, who recorded the video, told FOX Television Stations that he and his companion had been out fishing for a few hours when they "spotted a huge commotion."

In this footage, dolphins are seen leaping above the water’s surface around Davison’s boat, creating a mesmerizing sea spectacle.

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.

KYIV, Ukraine -- Kyiv said Sunday it had destroyed 21 of 49 Iranian-made drones fired after Russia vowed to retaliate for what it called a "terrorist attack" on a border city that left 24 dead.
The Ukrainian air force said the "Shahed" drones were particularly targeted at "the front line of defense, as well as at civilian, military and infrastructure facilities in the front-line territories".
Six guided missiles had also targeted the northeastern city of Kharkiv, Kyiv said in a statement on Telegram, without specifying whether they had hit their targets.
Oleg Sinegubov, the head of Kharkiv's military administration, said there had been 28 civilians wounded in the attack on the city, including two teenagers and a foreign citizen.
Residential buildings, offices and cafes were hit in the latest overnight attacks, said Kharkiv mayor Igor Terekhov.
"On the eve of the New Year, Russians want to intimidate our city, but we are not scared," he said.
The fresh Russian strikes came a day after the deadliest attack on civilians in Russia since the start of the conflict in February 2022.
The official death toll has risen to 24 with 108 wounded in Belgorod -- just 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the Ukrainian border, which has been repeatedly struck by what Moscow says is indiscriminate shelling.
The two sides took turns to accuse each other of pummeling civilian areas of their shared frontier region over the weekend.
The governor of Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said Sunday that one person had been killed by Ukrainian shelling in a village close to the border.
- 'Blame Putin' -
Moscow said the Belgorod attack had included the use of controversial cluster munitions, and told an emergency meeting at the UN Security Council that Kyiv had targeted a sports center, an ice rink and a university.
Russian envoy Vasily Nebenzya called it a "deliberate, indiscriminate attack against a civilian target".
Ukraine's allies countered that responsibility ultimately lay with Russian President Vladimir Putin for invading the neighbouring country nearly two years ago.
"If Russia wants someone to blame for the deaths of Russians in this war, it should start with President Putin," said British envoy to the UN Thomas Phipps.
Putin gave his traditional New Year's Eve address on Sunday, in which he praised Russia's soldiers on the front line and called for unity in the face of "difficult tasks".
"To all those who are on duty, on the front line of the fight for truth and justice," Putin said, "you are our heroes. Our hearts are with you. We are proud of you, we admire your courage."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed in his New Year's address to wreak "wrath" against Russian forces in 2024, despite what he said were attempts to "undermine" support for Kyiv.
- January 1, day of mourning -
The Belgorod attack came a day after Ukraine said a barrage of Russian missile strikes on several cities, including the capital, had killed 39 people.
Schools, a maternity hospital, shopping arcades and blocks of flats were among the buildings hit in Friday's barrage, one of the most violent attacks since the start of the war.
Ukraine was still sifting through the rubble on Saturday when fresh strikes hit the regions of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Chernigiv, according to local authorities.
Three more people were killed by Russian strikes across Ukraine on Saturday, the officials said.
January 1 was to be declared a day of mourning in the capital Kyiv, where 19 people had been killed, city officials said.
Russia's army said it had "carried out 50 group strikes and one massive strike" on military facilities in Ukraine over the past week, adding that "all targets were hit".
The United Nations condemned the attacks and said they must stop "immediately".
Ukraine is urging Western allies to maintain military support.
"Next year will be a time of many decisions -- global decisions. And Ukraine needs to be able to influence them to be able to achieve its goals," Zelensky said in his evening address Saturday.
"We will fight for our influence, for justice for Ukraine, and I am grateful to all the leaders who help, who have been with us since February 24th and will be with us in 2024."
Britain announced it would send hundreds more air-defense missiles to Kyiv, after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak declared: "We must continue to stand with Ukraine -- for as long as it takes."

Inaugural Run of Amrit Bharat Express: A Joyride for Diverse Passengers
On the eve of a new dawn in Indian rail travel, an eclectic group of passengers, including a septuagenarian monk, a mechanic with his ailing wife, and a band of migrant labourers, embarked on the inaugural journey of the Malda-SMVT Bengaluru Amrit Bharat Express. The train, equipped with modern facilities such as radium-illuminated flooring, CCTV surveillance, and mobile charging points, promises to revolutionize the experience of train travel in India.
A Monk’s Journey on Rails
Among the passengers was Divyanath, a 70-year-old monk on a spiritual pilgrimage across India. He boarded the train at Bardhaman station, altering his original plan to visit the Kamakhya temple in Guwahati, setting his sights instead on the Jagannath Temple in Puri. Divyanath, a seasoned traveller since his teens, marvelled at the evolution of train travel from the era of steam engines to today’s modern coaches. Carrying only a small sack and a wooden stick, his humble persona was a symbol of unity and simplicity amidst the hustle and bustle of the journey.
A Lifeline for a Mechanic’s Wife
Amit Bairagi, a motor mechanic travelling with his wife for medical treatment, also found respite in the Amrit Bharat Express. Despite the short notice, they were fortunate to secure a pass to board the train for a hospital visit in Bengaluru, highlighting the train’s role as a lifeline for medical emergencies and critical healthcare accessibility.
Migrant Workers’ Joyride
Migrant labourer Tony Mondal and his colleagues received free passes to travel to Bengaluru for work. They expressed appreciation for the new train’s amenities, which starkly contrasted the harsh conditions of the general compartment in other trains. For these workers, the journey was not just a physical commute but an experience of comfort and dignity.
The Amrit Bharat Express, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, features 22 non-AC coaches with a push-pull configuration for faster acceleration. The train’s commercial operations are set to commence on January 7th. Following the inaugural run, there have been suggestions to increase the train’s frequency and introduce air-conditioned coaches, reflecting the high demand and popularity of this new venture in Indian Railways.

Inauguration of India’s Longest Sea Bridge: A Leap in Infrastructure Development
On January 12, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to inaugurate India’s longest sea bridge, the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL). This ambitious infrastructure project’s announcement was made by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, signifying a significant milestone in the country’s infrastructure development and underscoring the government’s commitment to enhancing transportation networks. The MTHL is not just a feat of engineering but a crucial cog in the wheel of India’s ongoing economic expansion and urban development.
Connecting Heartlands and Horizons
The MTHL, a 21.8-kilometer-long bridge, will connect Sewri in Mumbai to Nhava Sheva area in Raigad district. The bridge is a 6-lane sea link with approximately 16.50 kilometers of the stretch on sea and 5.50 kilometers on land. The strategic location of the bridge will provide a vital link to the arterial Mumbai-Pune Expressway, further enhancing the connectivity between the state’s two largest cities.
Transforming Travel, Turbocharging Trade
The new link is expected to revolutionize travel in the region, reducing the average journey time from two hours to a mere 15-20 minutes. Beyond facilitating faster and more efficient commutes, the MTHL promises to catalyze economic development and growth in the areas it connects. Its impact is likely to be felt across multiple sectors, from the transport of labor and raw materials to the fostering of new business opportunities.
Overcoming Challenges, Charting Change
Despite criticism from opposition parties for delays and cost overruns, the government’s steadfast commitment to improving India’s infrastructure has seen the MTHL project come to fruition. The project’s estimated cost has risen from Rs 11,000 crore to Rs 17,800 crore by 2023. Yet, the potential benefits of the bridge, both in terms of connectivity and economic growth, far outweigh the initial investment. The MTHL stands as a testament to India’s infrastructural prowess and its drive to modernize and improve the lives of its citizens.

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja has dismissed calls for self-defence in the wake of attacks in Plateau.
Over 195 persons died in the most recent attacks in the North-Central state with scores wounded.
While the development has elicited outcry in and outside the country, the Army Chief believes self-defence amounts to “anarchy”.
“I do not support that. I think that is a call for anarchy,” he said on Sunday on Channels Television’s end-of-year programme “2023: Year Of Transition”.
According to him, the Nigerian Army can defend the country and as such, there is no need for self-defence.

He also said as part of efforts to bolster security in the Plateau, more troops are being deployed to the area.
“I have reeled out our plans for 2024 for Plateau State. The troops that we are deploying to Plateau, are on their way to Plateau now,” he said.
“This night or first light tomorrow, they should be on the Plateau. We are sending more equipment to enhance the efficiency of the troops.”
Over 50 villages were said to be affected by the attacks with President Bola Tinubu calling for a thorough probe.
The assaults have also drawn global criticism as the UN is urging the Federal Government to do a thorough probe into the incidents.
“I call on the Nigerian authorities to investigate this incident promptly, thoroughly, and independently, consistent with international human rights law, and to hold those responsible to account in fair trials,” UN rights chief Volker Turk said in a statement.
“The cycle of impunity fuelling recurrent violence must be urgently broken. The government should also take meaningful steps to address the underlying root causes and to ensure non-recurrence of this devastating violence.”
North-West and central Nigeria have been long terrorised by bandit militias operating from bases deep in forests and raiding villages to loot and kidnap residents for ransom.
Competition for natural resources between nomadic herders and farmers, intensified by rapid population growth and climate pressures, has also exacerbated social tensions and sparked violence

India Boosts Border Security with 4G Services at Over 1,100 Outposts
In a significant move, the Indian government has sanctioned the enablement of 4G mobile services at over 1,100 border outposts, including those along the contentious India-China border. This landmark initiative, costing approximately 1,545.66 crore rupees, is part of a comprehensive strategy to bolster communication infrastructure along the country’s international borders.
Tripartite Agreement to Boost Border Communication
A tripartite agreement was inked involving the Department of Telecommunications, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited. This collaboration aims to roll out the project within six and a half years, ensuring coverage extends to border and intelligence posts of the armed forces and the Intelligence Bureau. This decision underscores the government’s commitment to enhancing connectivity for security personnel, thereby improving operational efficiency.
Limited Progress in Ladakh Despite Ambitious Plans
Despite ambitious plans for extensive 4G coverage in the Union Territory of Ladakh, progress has thus far been limited to a handful of villages. This reality underscores the mammoth task at hand and the hurdles that need to be overcome to ensure seamless communication in these strategically crucial regions.
Infrastructure Development Along International Borders
Infrastructure development along the borders with China, Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar, and Pakistan has been reported. This includes the construction of roads, establishment of outposts, and fencing. Notably, 48.03 kilometers of roads have been constructed along the China border, while four border outposts and three helipads have been added. As many as 88 new border outposts were constructed this year, including 20 posts along the Pakistan border, 51 along the Bangladesh border, and 13 on the Bhutan border.
Vibrant Villages Programme: A Bid to Enhance Border Security
The MHA is also focused on improving the standard of living in border villages through the Vibrant Villages programme. This programme aims at preventing outmigration and enhancing border security. By improving connectivity to border villages and ensuring the benefits of welfare schemes reach these areas, the government hopes to strengthen its borders not just physically but also societally.

Former world champion Manny "Pacman" Paccquiao is expecting to face American rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a rematch in 2024.
Pacquiao made the announcement during an appearance at Rizin 45 in Japan, along with Rizin chief executive Nobuyuki Sakakibara. The "Pacman" signed with Rizin in April 2019.
"Can you please fight Floyd Mayweather next year?" Sakakibara asked Pacquiao, in a video posted on Rizin's social media accounts.
In response, Pacquiao said: "Thank you so much for inviting me here again. I'm sorry for the last time that we promised we were going to fight this year, but like Sakakibara explained, this year I will see you here in Japan again with a big fight against …"
The former Philippine senator trailed off, and Sakakibara stepped in to say: "Floyd Mayweather."
"Floyd Mayweather, yeah," Pacquiao said. "I thought you didn't want me to say that. But I'm excited for that. Thank you for always supporting Rizin, and thank you Sakakibara-san."
No further details were announced.
Mayweather and Pacquiao famously fought in May 2015, in a bout billed as the "Fight of the Century." The American won via unanimous decision to keep his perfect record. The event also generated record-breaking revenues.
While both Pacquiao and Mayweather have since retired from professional boxing, they have both done exhibition matches. Mayweather has fought 10 times in exhibitions, compiling a record of three wins and one no-contest, while three of his matches were not scored. He was last in action on June 11, 2023, fighting John Gotti III in a bout that was stopped in the sixth round after it devolved into a brawl.
Pacquiao, meanwhile, has done one exhibition bout against YouTuber DK Yoo, last December 2022.
It remains to be seen if the planned rematch between Mayweather and Pacquiao will be an exhibition bout or a full-fledged professional showdown.

India to Launch XPoSat: A Bright Spark in a Quiet Week
In a week marked by the lull of the New Year period, India is poised to defy the calm with the launch of its first polarimetry mission, XPoSat. This mission, set to study X-ray sources, is a bright spark in a week otherwise light on rocket launches. However, for space enthusiasts, the week does offer a recap section teeming with videos to satiate their interests.
XPoSat: India’s First Dedicated Polarimetry Mission
Set to explore the cosmos, India’s XPoSat X-ray Polarimeter Satellite represents the country’s inaugural dedicated polarimetry mission. Its goal is to study various dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources under extreme conditions. The spacecraft carries two scientific payloads—POLIX and XSPECT—that will measure polarimetry parameters and provide spectroscopic information in the energy range of 8-30 keV photons of astronomical origin. The mission is expected to illuminate the cosmos for a period of five years.
PSLV C58 Rocket: Marking the 60th Flight
The beacon for XPoSat’s journey is the PSLV C58 rocket. This launch marks its 60th flight and the third science mission launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in a span of six months. After placing the satellite in the intended orbit, the final stage of the PSLV rocket will descend to a lower orbit of 350 km to serve as a stabilized orbiting platform for various experiments and technology demonstrations from ISRO Centres, academia, and startups.
XPoSat’s Significance and Future Updates
Scheduled for January 1, 2024, the XPoSat mission stands as a significant stride in India’s space exploration efforts. The second of its kind globally, after NASA’s IXPE, the mission aims to study black holes and neutron stars using X-ray photons and their polarisation. The launch will be streamed live across multiple social media channels and ISRO’s official website, offering a real-time glimpse into India’s astronomical ambitions. The PSLV-C58 will also carry the ‘PSLV Orbital Experimental Module’, or POEM, along with XPoSat.
While the week may be light on rocket launches due to the New Year period, the XPoSat mission ensures the year kicks off with a bang. And for those seeking more, a recap section filled with numerous videos awaits. So, stay tuned for future updates and keep exploring the cosmos with us.

Before the Rose Bowl, Michigan’s Sherrone Moore needed to qualify his undefined stance on race. From the offensive coordinator who took over for Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh during his suspension, a question about Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, who revealed his former offensive coordinator attempted to discourage him from becoming a collegiate quarterback.
“Really, I don’t see color,” Moore said during a media day for their bowl game against Alabama. “My wife is Caucasian. My kids are mixed. I deal with Black, white. I’ve lived in Kansas where you can be in the house with the door open at 12, and in New Jersey where you have to be in the house by 6 o’clock. I’ve seen all cards of the spectrum.”
Thanks for the family breakdown and regional safety knowledge, but that doesn’t answer the question, Sherrone. It only opens the door to further inquiry, like, are you a believer in a post-racial America?
Milroe Keeps It Real
Ahead of the Rose Bowl, Milroe told the world that his path to becoming QB1 was far from a straight line, with nonbelievers even on his team.
“All my life, even when I was in college,” Milroe said of people discouraging him from playing the position. “Shoot, my own offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien told me I shouldn’t play quarterback.”
Milroe explained that O’Brien advised him that “there’s a bunch of positions” he could have switched to from quarterback, to Milroe’s dismay.
Milroe went even further after he was asked for a follow-up.
“How would you feel if I told you you suck?” Milroe continued. “OK, then. That’s exactly how I felt. Biggest thing for me, be true to myself and stay the same. Nothing changed about me. Only thing that changed was that I had opportunity, and I seized it. … But look where I am right now. Who gets the last laugh?”
Moore Questions Than Answers
A stigma hovers over the Black quarterbacks that they do not prepare or have the real time mental acuity as their white counterparts as gunslingers. Although Milroe didn’t specify, he alluded to an extreme disbelief by O’Brien in his ability. The same can be said for the coaching ranks on both the NFL and collegiate level.
That’s what makes Moore’s reaction to the questions raised by Milroe even more troubling because he is scrutinized as a coach in ways similar to Milroe’s as a quarterback.

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.

Thirdy Ravena and the San-En NeoPhoenix claimed a thrilling 96-94 triumph over the Chiba Jets to close 2023 in the B.League Division 1, Sunday evening at the Funabashi Arena.
The Filipino import accounted for 11 points, six assists, three rebounds and two steals as the NeoPhoenix improved to 22-4. They remain at No. 1 in the Central Conference at the end of the year.
The game appeared headed for overtime after Chiba's Yuki Togashi knocked down a step-back three-pointer with just 5.7 seconds left to knot the count at 96.
But that gave San-En just enough time to snatch the win. A fallaway jumper by Coty Clarke was off the mark, but Yante Maten was there for the go-ahead putback with just 0.9 left on the clock.
Clarke finished with 32 points, while Maten had a 13-point, 12-rebound double-double. Six of his boards came on the offensive end.
Also victorious on New Year's Eve were Carl Tamayo and the Ryukyu Golden Kings, as they clobbered the Sendai 89ers 84-69 at the Okinawa Arena.
Tamayo had nine points in an 11-minute stint. Jack Cooley led the way for the defending champions, with 25 points and a whopping 27 rebounds.
Ryukyu hiked its record to 19-6, good for first place in the Western Conference.
Dwight Ramos and the Levanga Hokkaido defeated the Toyama Grouses, 88-81, for their eighth win of the season. Ramos had seven points, a rebound, and an assist in the win.
Kai Sotto and the Yokohama B-Corsairs absorbed an 89-72 loss against the Seahorses Mikawa at the Yokohama International Pool. The Gilas Pilipinas big man had six points and two rebounds in just under 13 minutes of playing time.
Yokohama fell to 11-15.
In Division 2, Roosevelt Adams and the Yamagata Wyverns got the better of the Rizing Zephyr Fukuoka, 85-83.
Adams had 12 points and eight rebounds for Yamagata, while Greg Slaughter did not play for the Fukuoka.

Indian Fashion’s Global Ascendancy: A Look Back at 2023 and Forward to 2024
A monumental year for Indian fashion, 2023 marked an era of global recognition and evolution, with Indian designers and their creations taking centre stage at renowned global fashion platforms. Gaurav Gupta’s debut at Paris Couture Week and Falguni and Shane Peacock’s return to New York Fashion Week showcased the world’s growing fascination with Indian aesthetics.
India’s Met Gala: NMACC Launch
The launch of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC), likened to India’s Met Gala, served as a grand platform for Indian fashion. The event saw international celebrities like Zendaya and Gigi Hadid embracing Indian attire, particularly sarees, showcasing the global appeal of traditional Indian clothing. The ‘India in Fashion’ exhibition at NMACC further highlighted the exquisite Indian craftsmanship, featuring pieces from Indian designers and international luxury brands.
Political Stage meets Fashion Runway
The G20 Summit held in New Delhi was another testament to the global appeal of Indian fashion. Political figures and their spouses sported Indian attire, underscoring India’s cultural influence on the global political stage. A noteworthy event was Dior’s Fall 2023 show in Mumbai, which enhanced the global recognition of Indian craftsmanship.
Global Stars & Indian Designers
Indian designers also found their way into the wardrobes of global stars like Beyonce and Selena Gomez, further cementing the place of Indian fashion on the global map. International luxury brands such as Balenciaga, Brioni, and Gucci deepened their ties with India, opening stores and appointing Indian celebrities as brand ambassadors.
A Future Shaped by Sustainability
Looking ahead to 2024, India is set to become a global hub for ethical textiles and sustainable fashion, with a strong focus on natural fibers and waste management solutions. The growing demand for vegan sarees made from agro waste and a rising trend in upcycling are indicative of a shift towards sustainable choices in the Indian fashion industry. This paradigm shift in sourcing, production, pricing, and supply processes is poised to cement India’s position as a top global supplier, blending tradition and innovation in every fabric and thread.

When 2024 five-star recruit Jordan Seaton announced his commitment to the Colorado Buffaloes and head coach Deion Sanders, other top programs that were heavily recruiting the nation’s top offensive tackle didn’t stop attempting to sway him their way.
Things looked shaky on the Tuesday before early national signing day and then on the actual day as Seaton didn’t submit his national letter of intent.
In an attempt to quell the chatter before the big day, Seaton, who seems to like the public eye, even spoke with On3 Sports.
“I’m still a Buff,” Seaton said. “Kind of just thinking and praying on it. Just thinking and praying on it. Right now I really don’t have a step-for-step.”
“There has been a lot of coaches calling,” he added. “Recently, Dylan Raiola and Nebraska has been my most recent DM.”
Two days later the elite blue chip prospect arrived in Boulder, signed, sealed and delivered.
Seaton Says Coaches Tried To Everything To Flip Him
In an effort to get the former IMG Academy standout to flip his commitment, coaches from other prominent Power Five schools a tried a little bit of any and everything. While obviously none of it worked, one particular coach’s effort still has Seaton in shock.
During a recent interview session for the Under Armour All-American Game, Seaton talked about the lengths other coaches went to in an attempt to negatively recruit against Sanders.
“This was the most famous one I got,” Seaton said. “It was like ‘What do you want to be, a rapper or something?’ … I’m like … ‘Hey’ … Laughing … ‘I get what you’re saying, but … bro.’ There was a lot of negative recruiting at Coach Prime. I feel like some people don’t understand that he’s only had … He’s only been here for … what? Has it been a year yet? It’s been a year. The turnaround that program has from 1–11 to 4-8. … To see that is cool.”
For a coach to ask Seaton that type of question is unacceptable and makes you think they only believe the Buffaloes have the most lit game sidelines in all of college football, which they do. But, that’s also real shot at Coach Prime and what type of program they believe he’s running.
Seaton’s Arrival Is Huge
Adding a player like Seaton to an offensive line unit that allowed 58 sacks should help immensely. He’s not the top-rated offensive tackle for nothing, and he excels in both run and pass protection. Those two areas are what slowed the Buffaloes’ still pretty solid attack under the leadership of quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
Seaton will anchor a unit that’s projected to have five new starters, which also includes four highly coveted transfers. Sanders has raved about Seaton, even calling him a pro already.

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.
