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.

As freezing days approach, here's some things to remember when it comes to heater safety BATON ROUGE - Saturday morning, Storm Station Meteorologist Balin Rogers came out to a frosty windshield. Temperatures overnight got below freezing for the Livingston Parish resident. Those freezing temps could be seen again several nights this week. That's why Baton Rouge Fire Department wants to remind everyone of several safety tips when using a space heater. "We don't want to leave those space heaters unattended. I got a 3-foot area around them that I like to refer to as a no-no-no-zone. We don't want kids, no pets, and no flammable materials," Justin Hill said. Earlier this week, a family of six was displaced after their couch caught fire due to a space heater. Last month, two homes were destroyed also because of a space heater. Hill says another major important safety tip, do not plug a space heater into an extension cord. "Just make sure they're plugged directly into the wall and we keep an area three feet around free of pets, flammable material and children. Turn them off if we leave the room," Hill said. Trending News Other safety advice, do not use a stove or oven as the heating source. Make sure all smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are working.

New innovation at CES 2024: LG Display introduces revolutionary dashboard and foldable screens for cars 2 min readSummary: LG Display is set to unveil its latest innovation in automotive entertainment at CES 2024. The company will showcase a full-width dashboard display in the front and two foldable screens in the back, with a safety feature called Switchable Privacy Mode (SPM) to ensure driver concentration. The dashboard display utilizes LG Display’s technologies like P-OLED for flexibility, Advanced Thin OLED for minimal thickness, and LTPS LCD for dynamic refresh rate. The foldable screens in the back seat offer various slidable and foldable OLED panels for additional screen real estate. SPM automatically diverts content being watched on the passenger side to prevent driver distractions. This new innovation from LG Display, when combined with Microsoft and Tom Tom’s in-car AI, could revolutionize the driving experience. LG Display’s upcoming showcase at CES 2024 is set to redefine automotive entertainment. With its full-width dashboard display and foldable screens in the back seat, the company is taking a huge step forward in integrating screens into the driving experience. The dashboard display, covered in a giant screen, makes use of LG Display’s advanced technologies like P-OLED, which enhances flexibility, and Advanced Thin OLED, which adds minimal thickness to the dashboard. The result is a seamless and immersive visual experience for drivers. Additionally, the use of LTPS LCD ensures a dynamic refresh rate, further enhancing the quality of the display.

Geminis, your love life may experience changes in 2024. Try to establish deeper connections with people based on mutual convictions and views. Investigate your internal realm to improve your relationships. Deal with your emotional baggage effectively to have harmonious relationships. Lonely Singles: For the Gemini singles, it will be an exciting and revolutionary year. Saturn in the ninth house indicates that for a relationship to be successful, there must be a spiritual connection and compatibility. Secondly, your search for self-enlightenment and wisdom may get entangled with your search for love. Jupiter will influence the eleventh house from January to April, which allows you to find new friends. A lover can also be found through friends, activities in groups and communities. Jupiter will enter the twelfth house in May, making you a bit reserved. This phase will lead you into the heart of your emotional world and the deepest reaches of your subconscious. These can revolve around mystical people or people with spiritual inclinations. Rahu’s placement in the tenth house can attract love from an uncharted path. You can also find romance at your office, link up, and fall in love with a romantic partner. However, set some boundaries for yourself regarding your personal and professional life. Committed Couples: Cosmic influences may vary in 2024 for Gemini’s committed relationships. Your relationship could become more intimate as you share beliefs and philosophies and possibly open up to new perspectives through Saturn in the ninth house. This placement allows for understanding each other’s ideas and expanding a couple’s vision. You could even travel to strengthen your bond and increase respect. Up to April, Jupiter in the eleventh house blesses your social sphere by strengthening your relationship based on your shared goals, ambitions, and friendship. In addition, your partner may be an essential member of your social circle, working towards achieving goals and giving you happiness through mutual interests. After April, Jupiter will be in the twelfth house. This may create some subconscious shift towards more intimate emotions within the partnership. You may even find yourselves in areas that involve intense emotional experiences in search of a spiritual or soulful connection. Rahu in the tenth house may result in sudden changes or fluctuations in your career, ultimately affecting your relationship. It’s crucial to balance your personal and professional life because sometimes work can make you stressed or uncertain in your relationship.

Taapsee Pannu Shares Experiences of Working with Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Dunki’ Acclaimed actress Taapsee Pannu has candidly shared her experiences of working with Bollywood’s ‘King of Romance’, Shah Rukh Khan, in the recently released film ‘Dunki’. The movie, directed by Rajkumar Hirani and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, Jio Studios, and Rajkumar Hirani Films, has received tremendous accolades for its meaningful storyline and strong social message. The Unforgettable First Encounter In an interview with The Times of India, Taapsee recalled her first encounter with Shah Rukh Khan. Despite his commanding onscreen presence, she found him to be very warm and welcoming. However, the memories of his iconic roles and performances were so overwhelming that Taapsee admitted to ‘freezing’ upon meeting him. A Challenging Romantic Endeavor One of the significant challenges for Taapsee was acting romantically opposite Shah Rukh Khan. The actor’s loving gazes were reminiscent of his classic romantic films, causing Taapsee to momentarily lose her composure during the early days of shooting. It was a test of her acting prowess to shake off the awe and deliver a convincing performance. Taapsee’s Journey in ‘Dunki’ ‘Dunki’ portrays a group of friends from India who embark on a journey to London using an illegal immigration method known as ‘Donkey Flight’. Taapsee’s character, along with Shah Rukh Khan’s, is desperate to return home, ensuing a struggle to procure visas and face various challenges abroad. The narrative also weaves a love story between Taapsee and Shah Rukh’s characters, adding a touch of romance to the plot. The film also stars Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani in key roles. Since its release on December 21, ‘Dunki’ has had a successful run at the box office, both domestically and internationally. It has garnered over Rs 350 crore in India alone and has received a positive response from the audience worldwide.

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

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. Trending News 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.”

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

For Leos, 2024 is a year of change and chances regarding their financial and investment ventures. You should expect dynamic financial growth, challenges, and transformation this year. By making diversified investments, careful planning, disciplined budgeting, focusing on long-term goals and considering the planetary positions, Leos can overcome financial difficulties and use the possibilities to grow and prosper. Saturn in the seventh house this year indicates discipline and caution in matters of money. Leos should be wary of partnerships and joint ventures, only engaging in collaborations prudently and with a vision. However, this positioning also provides opportunities for learning critical financial lessons in partnerships. Jupiter’s transit in the ninth house till April may bring luck and expansion for the Leos in foreign investments, higher education or long-distance business dealings. However, when Jupiter moves to the tenth house in May, it could signify the transition from career to monetary gains and professional development. Unexpected changes in financial situations and values may occur as Rahu will be placed in the eighth house and Ketu will be in the second house. You may experience sudden gains and losses and, as a result, change priorities or investments throughout the year. Wealth-Generating OpportunitiesSpeculative investments or overseas ventures will likely produce gains during Jupiter’s transit in the ninth house until April. Leos should consider broadening their boundaries by investigating international markets or financial studies. After April, it could be about career advancements and professional opportunities to increase personal income. Real estate, technology, and innovative ventures might be promising sectors for wealth generation in 2024. Investment StrategiesLeo’s investment strategy for 2024 should rest on diversification and careful planning. However, because of the variability in Rahu and Ketu, an investment portfolio with stocks, bonds, real estate, and other alternative investments could balance the risks. Thorough due diligence is mandatory before engaging in joint ventures or investment partnerships, as Saturn governs alliances and collaborations. With Jupiter’s transit into the tenth house in May, investing in career-oriented growth could pay off handsomely. Diversification and Risk ManagementDiversification is a key risk management strategy given the turbulent planetary influences in 2024. Leos must invest its money in multiple assets and industries to avoid risks and possible losses. To navigate the fluctuations, it will be necessary to reassess and rebalance the investment portfolio regularly based on changing market conditions and personal financial goals.

Unconventional Leave Request Sparks Debate on Workplace Culture In a story that has captured the attention of social media, the CEO of Unstop in Delhi, Ankit Aggarwal, has found himself at the center of a debate on leave policies and workplace culture. This discussion was sparked by Aggarwal’s response to an employee’s rather unusual request for “late-night party leave.” The conversation between Aggarwal and the employee came to light when the CEO shared a screenshot of it on LinkedIn, commending the openness within his team and underlining the significance of trust and collegial support in a healthy work environment. A Transparent Workplace: A Boon or Bane? The incident has evoked varied reactions from social media users. Many lauded Aggarwal for fostering a transparent and trusting work environment. They shared their experiences of dealing with resistance when they were honest about their reasons for taking leave in their previous jobs, leading to a toxic work atmosphere. On the other hand, others criticized Aggarwal for making the conversation public and questioned the appropriateness of the employee’s request. They suggested it showed a lack of respect for the employer and could potentially harm team dynamics. Aggarwal’s Defense In response to the criticism, Aggarwal defended his decision to share the conversation. He explained that his goal was not to shame the employee or to make a spectacle but to showcase the open communication culture at Unstop. He believes that employees should not feel compelled to lie or make up excuses to take leave, reinforcing the importance of honesty and trust in the workplace. Workplace Culture: A Continual Debate This incident underscores the ongoing discussion about workplace culture and policies. How much transparency is too much? Are employees entitled to their personal time off without having to justify their reasons? Aggarwal’s approach, while unconventional, challenges traditional norms and invites us to rethink the dynamics of employer-employee relationships. It serves as a reminder that the workplace is constantly evolving, and open dialogue about these issues is crucial for creating supportive work environments where employees feel valued and respected.

The incident spiraled when the individual reverted to Hindi, aggravating the situation as others joined the fray.

The situation escalated further when various participants began conversing in their native languages, making it difficult for others to comprehend the discussion.

XPoSat: A Leap in Space Research The XPoSat denotes India’s first dedicated scientific effort to study the polarization of cosmic X-rays from celestial sources, with a focus on black holes and neutron stars. The spacecraft will carry two scientific payloads, POLIX and XSPECT, to measure the degree and angle of polarization in the medium X-ray energy range and offer spectroscopic information in the energy range of astronomical origin. The mission aims to investigate the enigmatic world of black holes and other intense X-ray sources in the universe. The launch will be live streamed by ISRO and India Today Science, enabling space enthusiasts worldwide to witness this significant event.

4.8 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes West Java Island, Indonesia: No Immediate Damage Reported In a recent geological event, a 4.8 magnitude earthquake shook the grounds of Indonesia’s West Java Island. The tremor took place on Sunday, with the epicenter pinpointed at approximately 2 kilometers northeast of Sumedang, a regency in the West Java province. The quake’s depth was recorded at an estimated 5 kilometers, according to the country’s geophysics agency, BMKG. Details of the Quake The earthquake was felt strongly in Sumedang Regency, striking the region at around 20:34 WIB (Western Indonesian Time). The initial depth registered by BMKG was 10 kilometers, but subsequent measurements refined this to 5 kilometers. Seismic activities of such magnitude are capable of causing significant disruptions, although the impact can vary based on a range of factors, including the depth and location of the earthquake’s epicenter. No Immediate Reports of Damage or Casualties Despite the quake’s magnitude, there have been no immediate reports regarding any significant damage or casualties. As is typical in the aftermath of such events, the situation remains fluid, with local authorities and aid organizations in the process of conducting assessments to determine the full extent of the impact. The absence of reports regarding victims at this early stage can be seen as a positive sign, but it is crucial not to draw definitive conclusions until full assessments are completed. As Indonesia continues to grapple with the aftermath of the quake, updates are expected to provide further information regarding the situation on the ground. These updates will be critical in shaping the ongoing response efforts and ensuring that support is directed where it is most needed. For now, the people of West Java and the surrounding areas are once again reminded of the unpredictability of nature, even as they bid farewell to 2024 and welcome in the New Year.

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.” Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

6.5 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Papua, Indonesia; No Tsunami Threat Reported An earthquake of substantial magnitude 6.5 has jolted the eastern region of Papua in Indonesia on the closing Sunday of 2023. The tremors originated from an epicenter located 162 kilometers northeast of Abepura, a subdistrict in Jayapura, the capital of Papua province, at a depth of 10 kilometers, as reported by the U.S. Geological Survey. Indonesia’s Seismic Activity Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) clarified that there was no tsunami risk following the quake. However, the agency warned about the potential for aftershocks, since the quake occurred on land. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii also testified that the seismic event posed no tsunami threat. The country, positioned on the ‘Ring of Fire,’ a significant area in the Pacific Ocean basin where most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions transpire, is prone to such seismic activities. (Read Also: 4.8 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes West Java Island, Indonesia: No Immediate Damage Reported) Abepura’s Preparedness Abepura, accommodating approximately 62,250 people, is one of the least populated towns in Indonesia. Despite this, the potential for damage and loss in the event of a significant earthquake remains considerable. The town’s preparedness, infrastructure, and response mechanisms to deal with such natural calamities are continually put to the test given the country’s geological disposition. (Read Also: 6.5 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Papua, Indonesia: No Tsunami Threat) Past Earthquakes in Indonesia Indonesia has a history of enduring devastating earthquakes. One such incident in November 2021, in the city of Cianjur in West Java, resulted in at least 331 fatalities and nearly 600 injuries. It marked the deadliest earthquake in the country since a quake and subsequent tsunami in Sulawesi in 2018, which claimed about 4,340 lives. In 2004, a colossal tsunami, triggered by an earthquake off the coast of Aceh province, resulted in the death of more than 230,000 people across twelve countries, marking it as one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. As the world steps into 2024, Indonesia continues its vigilant watch over the ‘Ring of Fire,’ prepared for the potential seismic activities that its geographical placement might invite.

Yemen’s Foreign Minister Recognizes Iran as Sole Supporter Amid Conflict In a publicly televised interview, Yemen’s Foreign Minister, Hisham Sharaf, acknowledges Iran as the sole supporter of Yemen during their ongoing conflict. Sharaf underscores the absence of support from other nations while emphasizing Iran’s unique role in standing beside Yemen during times of aggression. Iran’s Support in Yemen’s Struggle Sharaf’s statement comes at a time when Yemen is facing a surge in violence from Iran-backed Huthi rebels. The rebels recently launched two anti-ship ballistic missiles towards international shipping in the Red Sea, a move that reportedly forced the US military to intervene. This transit route holds significant importance as it carries nearly 12% of global trade. Sharaf’s acknowledgement of Iran’s support is a reflection of the increasing influence of Iran in the region, particularly with the Huthis. The US has recently imposed sanctions on individuals and entities facilitating Iranian financial aid to the Huthis, intensifying the conflict. Ghasem Soleimani: A Significant Figure During the interview, Sharaf also touched upon the late Gen. Ghasem Soleimani, a prominent figure known for backing resistance movements, particularly against Israeli occupation. Soleimani’s efforts have been widely recognized, with a Hamas leader referring to him as the ‘martyr of Quds’ (Jerusalem). This acknowledgment underscores Soleimani’s significant contributions and influence in the region. The Impact of Iran’s Influence The recognition of Iran’s role in supporting Yemen’s struggle against aggression comes amid escalating tensions in the region. Iran’s backing of the Huthis has led to an increase in attacks on commercial shipping vessels, prompting major shippers to reroute their vessels, resulting in economic implications such as increased insurance rates and stretched supply chains. As the conflict continues, the recognition of Iran’s role in Yemen’s struggle is likely to have significant geopolitical implications. While Iran bolsters its influence in the region, the international community remains watchful and concerned about the potential for an escalation of the conflict.

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.

Drone Strikes on Kurdish Military Base: An Escalation in Tensions In a recent escalation of tensions in the autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan, two drone strikes targeted a military base utilized by the region’s security forces, known as Peshmerga. The strikes, carried out by unidentified ‘outlaws,’ resulted in significant damage, although no casualties were reported. The Peshmerga base, located in Erbil province, has been a crucial stronghold for the Kurdish forces, highlighting the severity of the attack. Drone Strikes: A New Norm in Modern Conflict The use of drones in these attacks underscores a disturbing trend in modern warfare, particularly in the Middle East. Unmanned aerial vehicles have become increasingly accessible and are being utilized by various armed groups and state actors. The role of these drones extends beyond surveillance, with many being equipped with explosives to carry out targeted strikes. Indications of a Deepening Rift Authorities in the Kurdistan region have pointed fingers at the central government in Baghdad, accusing it of financing the perpetrators of the assault. This accusation suggests a deepening rift between the Kurdish regional government and the federal government of Iraq. These tensions come against the backdrop of long-standing disputes over autonomy, oil revenues, and territorial claims. Call for Support and Retaliation The Prime Minister of Kurdistan has ordered a thorough investigation into the attack, signifying the gravity of the situation. The Kurdistan Regional Government also issued an appeal to its allies and partners for support in responding to this act of terrorism. This call for support is coupled with a stern warning of potential measures to be taken by the Kurdistan Regional Government against the perpetrators. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, backed by Iran, has claimed responsibility for the attack and vowed to continue targeting US bases near Erbil’s airport. In retaliation, US forces have conducted precision airstrikes against Iran-linked facilities and groups in Syria and Iraq.

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. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Weaponized Drone Intercepted Near US Military Base in Iraq In the northern city of Erbil, a weaponized drone aimed for a United States military base was intercepted and neutralized, underscoring the escalating adoption of drones in asymmetric warfare and the ongoing security challenges in Iraq. The drone was shot down by the Counter-Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (C-RAM) defense system, a state-of-the-art mechanism devised to detect and annihilate incoming threats such as rockets, artillery, and mortar rounds. No casualties or damage were reported in the wake of the event. The base, a sanctuary for American troops and personnel, has been the target of similar attacks in the past. The Unseen Threat The origin of the drone remains shrouded in mystery, with no group stepping forward to claim responsibility for the attempted attack. The incident adds a new chapter to the narrative of the unseen threats faced by military and civilian targets alike, and highlights the increasingly important role of technology in warfare. The U.S. military and Iraqi security forces are jointly investigating the event. A Battle on Multiple Fronts The incident serves as a stark reminder of the multifaceted security challenges in Iraq, where a myriad of armed factions, including those opposed to the U.S. presence, operate. Their tactics range from conventional warfare to drone attacks, underscoring the complex reality of conflict in the region. Security in the Sky The successful interception of the drone showcases the effectiveness of the C-RAM system in protecting critical assets in conflict zones. As drone technology continues to evolve, defensive systems such as the C-RAM will be crucial in detecting and neutralizing these airborne threats, ensuring the safety of personnel and infrastructure.

(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.

Stidham uneven in 1st start in place of Wilson as Broncos rely on defense to beat Chargers 16-9 DENVER (AP) — Jarrett Stidham threw for 224 yards and a touchdown in an uneven performance in his first start in place of a benched Russell Wilson as the Denver Broncos beat the Los Angeles Chargers 16-9 on Sunday. Stidham earned his first career NFL win as a starter thanks to some timely plays such as a nifty 54-yard catch-and-run for a score by Lil’Jordan Humphrey and a stellar defensive performance. The Broncos (8-8) forced one turnover and allowed two third-down conversions on 11 attempts. Despite the win, the Broncos saw their playoff chances end with Kansas City beating Cincinnati. The Broncos haven’t been to the playoffs since winning the Super Bowl following the 2015 season. It was a matchup of backup against backup, with Stidham supplanting Wilson in an effort to try to spark a sporadic offense. The Chargers (5-11) went with Easton Stick for a third straight start after the injury to Justin Herbert. Stidham was shaky in stepping in for Wilson, who saw the team average 21.7 points a game under his watch. Los Angeles made it 16-9 with 1:17 left on a 52-yard field goal from Cameron Dicker and tried an onside kick. It was recovered by Alex Singleton. Stidham took two knees to end the game. The game changed complexion in the fourth quarter when D.J. Jones knocked the ball out of the hands of Austin Ekeler, with Josey Jewell recovering the fumble in Chargers territory. Denver turned the turnover into a 20-yard field goal by Wil Lutz to make it 16-6. The Broncos benefited by a pass interference call on Jerry Jeudy near the goal line on fourth down. Two false start penalties, though, moved them back and faced with another fourth-down call, coach Sean Payton elected to kick. The Broncos also made a big play on special teams with Zach Allen blocking a 50-yard field goal by Cameron Dicker midway through the fourth quarter. The Broncos were short-handed at receiver for Stidham, with receiver Courtland Sutton (concussion) and Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) sidelined. Humphrey had two catches for 69 yards, while Jeudy made three receptions for 54 yards after being under the weather earlier in the week. As a team captain, Wilson briefly got on the field for the opening coin flip. He spent the afternoon on the sideline in what could be the first of his last two games with the Broncos. The nine-time Pro Bowler was benched last Wednesday by Payton. Wilson later said he was approached after a win over Kansas City on Oct. 29 about altering his contract or risk being benched. Wilson has a $37 million injury guarantee for 2025 that’s triggered in March if he fails a physical. The Broncos wanted him to push back the date to give them flexibility but Wilson rejected it. Not much went right in the first half went right for the Chargers. That included a fake punt attempt, when Nick Niemann fumbled the snap and couldn’t convert. The Broncos turned that into a 43-yard field goal from Lutz with 1:53 remaining in the first half to make it 13-3. It could’ve been more, but Lutz pushed a 48-yard field goal attempt wide right as the clock ran out. Stick finished with 220 yards. He stepped in when Herbert broke his right index finger in the second quarter against the Broncos on Dec. 10. The Chargers were already eliminated from the AFC playoff race. Humphrey had a nice catch-and-run in the second quarter that gave the Broncos a 10-3 lead. He broke free from a tackle after hauling in a pass from Stidham, juked through traffic, plowed through two defenders near the goal line and reached the ball into the end zone for a 54-yard score. Humphrey wasn’t about to give up the football, either. He carried it securely in his left arm along the sideline as teammates congratulated him. MACK’S SACKS Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack eclipsed the 100-sack mark when he brought down Stidham in the second quarter. It was also Mack’s 16th sack of the season, which is a new career best. INJURY REPORT Broncos: RT Mike McGlinchey (ribs) and special teams player Delarrin Turner-Yell (knee) left in the first quarter. UP NEXT Chargers: Host Kansas City on Jan. 6 or 7. Broncos: At Las Vegas on Jan. 6 or 7. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Photo by Brittney Weng on Unsplash The pursuit of a fulfilling life is an evergreen journey, constantly evolving but ever-present in our human experience. While trends and fads come and go, certain lifestyle tweaks offer enduring value, enriching our days and empowering us to become the best versions of ourselves. Here are 10 timeless tips to cultivate a life that’s both meaningful and joyful: 1. Embrace Nature’s Embrace: Stepping away from the digital screens and immersing ourselves in nature’s embrace is a timeless recipe for well-being. Whether it’s a brisk walk in the park, a mindful stroll through the woods, or simply soaking up the sun on a balcony, spending time in nature reduces stress, boosts mood, and fosters a sense of groundedness. 2. Nourish Your Body, Temple of Your Soul: What we put on our plate directly impacts our energy levels, mental clarity, and overall health. Prioritizing whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains nourishes our bodies and fuels our minds. Experiment with different cuisines, discover the joy of home-cooked meals, and listen to your body’s cues for mindful eating. Remember, food is not just fuel; it’s an act of self-love and respect. 3. Move Your Body, Move Your Mood: Physical activity is a non-negotiable for a vibrant life. Find an activity you genuinely enjoy, whether it’s dancing, swimming, yoga, or simply taking the stairs. Regular movement releases endorphins, elevates mood, and keeps your body functioning optimally. Embrace the joy of movement, and let it become a daily celebration of your physical potential. 4. Cultivate the Power of Pause: In our fast-paced world, consciously creating space for stillness is essential. Mindfulness practices like meditation, deep breathing, or simply focusing on the present moment can significantly reduce stress, enhance focus, and cultivate inner peace. Dedicate even five minutes each day to simply be present, without distractions or digital devices. Let the pause become a powerful tool for self-awareness and inner rejuvenation. 5. Connect with Your Tribe: Humans are social creatures, and meaningful connections are vital for our well-being. Nurture your relationships with loved ones, spend time with friends who uplift you, and build a community that supports your growth. Share laughter, engage in meaningful conversations, and offer your support in return. Remember, strong social connections are the bedrock of a fulfilling life. 6. Spark the Flame of Curiosity: A curious mind is a vibrant mind. Never stop learning, exploring, and questioning. Whether it’s picking up a new skill, delving into a fascinating book, or simply engaging in stimulating conversations, keep your curiosity alive. Embrace the joy of discovery, and allow yourself to be surprised by the endless possibilities that life offers. 7. Express Yourself, Unapologetically: Life is your canvas, and you are the artist. Don’t be afraid to express yourself authentically, whether it’s through creative pursuits, your unique fashion sense, or simply speaking your truth. Embrace your individuality, let your inner artist shine, and never apologize for being the vibrant, multifaceted person you are. 8. Give Back to the World: Contributing to something larger than ourselves brings immense joy and purpose. Find a cause you care about, volunteer your time or skills, and make a difference in the world around you. Whether it’s helping at a local soup kitchen, mentoring underprivileged youth, or simply offering a helping hand to a neighbor, acts of kindness ripple outwards, creating a more connected and compassionate world. 9. Celebrate Small Victories: Life is not just about reaching grand milestones; it’s about savoring the small victories along the way. Acknowledge your daily accomplishments, no matter how seemingly insignificant. Did you finish that challenging project? Learn a new skill? Cook a delicious meal? Take a moment to celebrate these small wins, and let them fuel your motivation to keep moving forward. 10. Embrace the Journey: Remember, life is not a destination but a journey. There will be ups and downs, twists and turns, moments of joy and moments of struggle. Embrace the entire spectrum of experiences, learn from challenges, and appreciate the beauty of the unfolding story.

BANU: Advocating for Language Preservation and Housing Policy Change in Gaeltacht In the heart of South Conamara Gaeltacht, a region where Irish is the primary language, a new organization, BANU, has sprung up. Comprised of young Irish speakers, BANU is dedicated to advocating for changes in housing policy, with a keen focus on language preservation. The Historical Landscape of Gaeltacht The history of the Gaeltacht, particularly Cois Fharraige, is a rich tapestry of resilience and adaptation. Upon my arrival in 1973, the area was barely touched by modernity, lacking basic amenities like running water and proper sanitation. Employment opportunities were scarce, which drove many of the inhabitants to seek greener pastures elsewhere, resulting in emigration. Strides Towards Progress However, the tide began to turn with initiatives such as the establishment of Colaiste Lurgan, an Irish college, and investment by the State agency, Gaeltarra ireann, in manufacturing jobs. This influx of jobs gradually bolstered the local economy and stemmed the tide of emigration. Adding to these efforts was the Gaeltacht Civil Rights Movement, which championed for community radio, leading to the establishment of Raidio na Gaeltachta. Language Preservation Amidst Economic Development Despite these economic advancements, the decline in the use of the Irish language remained a pressing concern. Warnings from sociolinguists about the impending doom of the language fell on deaf ears. A study by Reg Hindley titled ‘The Death of the Irish Language’ underscored the monumental challenge of maintaining Irish as the everyday language of communication in bilingual communities. A 2007 report proposed designating different categories of Gaeltacht communities to better address language preservation. This article has shed light on the hurdles faced by the Irish language in the Gaeltacht and the concerted efforts to preserve and promote it. It also highlights the positive indications of an increase in the number of people who can speak Irish, along with legislative changes such as updated language rights legislation and the Official Languages Amendment Act. The call for more Irish language programming on broadcasting stations underscores the critical importance of public support and interest in the language. The pursuit of language revitalization encompasses social, political, and practical aspects, and hinges on fair treatment and support from politicians.

Galvin’s family and former parishioners. The loss of a figure as pivotal as Fr. Galvin leaves a void, but his legacy of service, compassion, and faith will continue to inspire the community of Cork and Ross.

(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.

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. —- Associated Press writer Jari Tanner in Helsinki, Finland, contributed to this report. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

Photo By dutchsoccersite.org Ajax, the Dutch giants and reigning Eredivisie champions, are facing a stark reality check after a string of disappointing performances on the pitch. The once-dominant team, known for their fluid attacking style and relentless pursuit of trophies, seem to be caught in a nightmare spiral of recent losses and inconsistent form. From League Leaders to Mid-Table Muddle: Just a few weeks ago, Ajax sat comfortably atop the Eredivisie table, showcasing their trademark attacking prowess and defensive solidity. However, a series of stumbles, including shock defeats to PSV Eindhoven and Twente, have seen them plummet to fifth place. The most recent blow came on Friday, December 22nd, when Utrecht snatched a late 2-1 victory, further deepening the sense of unease around the club. Factors Behind the Decline: Several factors seem to be contributing to Ajax’s woes. Some point to manager Alfred Schreuder’s inability to replicate the tactical success of his predecessor, Erik ten Hag. Others blame key player departures like Lisandro Martinez and Antony, leaving the squad unbalanced and lacking individual brilliance. Additionally, injuries and fatigue could be playing a role, disrupting the team’s rhythm and cohesiveness. Concerns Grow Among Fans and Media: The Ajax faithful, accustomed to years of domestic dominance and thrilling Champions League exploits, are growing restless. Concerns are mounting about the team’s direction and ability to recapture its championship form. Dutch media outlets are rife with analysis and speculation, questioning Schreuder’s tactics and the club’s transfer strategy. Can Ajax Emerge from the Nightmare? There’s still a long way to go in the Eredivisie season, and Ajax’s quality and experience cannot be underestimated. However, the recent slump serves as a harsh wake-up call. To reclaim their place at the top, the Amsterdammers need to find solutions quickly. This could involve tactical adjustments, reintegrating injured players, or even seeking reinforcements during the January transfer window. Beyond immediate results, Ajax must address the underlying concerns that contributed to their current predicament. Strengthening the squad, building a stronger system under Schreuder, and restoring the swagger that once defined their play are crucial if they want to emerge from this nightmare and reclaim their position as Eredivisie champions. This is just the start of the story. As the season unfolds, we’ll continue to monitor Ajax’s progress and delve deeper into the factors impacting their performance. Stay tuned for further updates and analysis on the Dutch giants’ quest to reignite their championship flame. Remember, this content is based on readily available news articles and may not reflect every aspect of Ajax’s recent performance. It’s important to consult multiple sources and engage in critical thinking to form your own informed opinions.

Devastating Hamas Attack Marks a New Era of Conflict in Israel The dawn of October 7, 2023, witnessed Hamas launching what is described as the most catastrophic attack on Israeli soil since its establishment in 1948. An estimated 1,200 people lost their lives, and around 240 civilians and soldiers were abducted. This assault marked a grim milestone and the most severe intelligence failure for Israel in over half a century. Targets and Repercussions The assault targeted kibbutzim, a music festival, and Israeli military posts, posing an existential threat to the promise of a safe Jewish homeland. The response from Israel has been robust and firm, promising to eliminate Hamas and initiating an intensive air and land campaign in Gaza. Human Cost and Global Impact This conflict carries a severe human cost, with over 21,500 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, reported killed by Palestinian officials. Approximately 1.8 million people, out of Gaza’s 2.3 million population, have been displaced, giving rise to a humanitarian crisis. The situation has also escalated tensions in the region, with the looming threat of a regional war. The polarizing nature of the conflict has intensified anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in the West. Continuing Hostilities Despite international calls for a ceasefire, Israel continues its offensive, and Hamas is still fighting, holding more than 100 hostages. The situation remains unresolved, with no immediate resolution in sight. Comments Subscribe to BNN Breaking Sign up for our daily newsletter covering global breaking news around the world.

A balanced approach is required in January 2024. Take advantage of new growth opportunities in your career, relationships, or personal development. Let this time be one of endurance and wisdom and set a basis for a prosperous year. Taurus, in January 2024, expect cosmic forces to affect your life differently. As the Sun shines on your ninth house, go explore new horizons. Learn, travel and pursue philosophies. Broaden your perspective through reading, courses, or even spontaneous adventures. It is a month to seek clarity and transformation. Taurus Monthly Career HoroscopeSaturn occupies your tenth house and hence urges you to work hard and be disciplined while at work. Use a structured approach to realise your goals. On the other hand, Mars in the eighth house could be a power struggle or make you face an intense work environment. Act tactfully towards your seniors, and don’t act impulsively in conflicts. This time requires strategic moves, not decisions. Taurus Monthly Money HoroscopeVenus will be placed in the seventh house this month, which brings opportunities for financial gain in partnerships or collaborations. It could pay off to establish alliances or joint ventures. However, take care of shared resources because Mercury in the eighth house might involve financial negotiations or unexpected expenses. Monitor your budgets and investments. Taurus Monthly Love HoroscopeVenus in your seventh house of relations makes your love life harmonious and passionate. If single, you can find promising acquaintances at social events or professional circles. If committed, openly communicate to strengthen your relationship. But as you have Ketu in the fifth house, you may have to self-examine what you want regarding your romantic desires. Taurus Monthly Family HoroscopeJupiter’s placement in the twelfth house suggests that the family members will be understanding and compassionate towards each other. Take care of the emotional needs of your loved ones. This is a chance to heal wounds or resolve misunderstandings. Nevertheless, with Rahu in the eleventh house, seek to balance your aspirations with family responsibilities. Taurus Monthly Health HoroscopeTake care of your body and mind. Mars in the eighth house can make you emotionally volatile and injury-prone and cause stress and anxiety. Engage in meditation or undertake activities that help you stay calm. Ensure you have a balanced diet and regular exercise for your vitality. Taurus Monthly Education HoroscopeThe Sun in the ninth house fosters the desire to learn and develop intellectually. This is an excellent time to enrol for course workshops or engage in self-study. On the other hand, with Mercury in the eighth house, try to stay focused despite the distractions. Utilise the energy to plunge into subjects that require deep research.

Photo by Politico.com President Biden has faced a rollercoaster ride of news headlines this week, tackling domestic and international challenges amidst a charged political climate. Here’s a breakdown of the latest developments and their potential impact: Domestic Issues: - Impeachment Inquiry: The House unexpectedly approved an impeachment inquiry against President Biden on Friday, December 22nd. Republicans, citing concerns about alleged mishandling of the U.S.-Mexico border and potential abuse of power, secured enough votes to launch the investigation. Democrats call it a political stunt while the White House expresses confidence in its transparency and record. - U.S. Steel Acquisition: The Biden administration expressed reservations about the proposed acquisition of iconic U.S. steelmaker by Japanese rival Nippon Steel. Concerns regarding national security and potential supply chain disruptions could lead to a closer scrutiny of the deal. - Congressional Gridlock: Bipartisan cooperation remains elusive on key issues like Ukraine aid and immigration reform. While President Biden urges compromise, both parties seem entrenched in their positions, leaving crucial legislation hanging in the balance. International Relations: - Ceasefire in Congo: U.S.-brokered peace efforts appear to be holding in Democratic Republic of Congo, paving the way for elections despite lingering tension. This potential success could boost Biden’s diplomatic credentials amidst a turbulent global landscape. - Relations with Venezuela: A prisoner swap involving American detainees and a close Venezuelan ally hints at a potential thaw in tense relations between the two countries. However, human rights concerns and political volatility in Venezuela pose significant challenges to a full rapprochement. - Tensions with Russia: The war in Ukraine continues to cast a long shadow, with Biden reiterating support for Kyiv and criticizing Moscow’s recent missile attacks. Escalating tensions around the conflict add to the international pressure on the President. Political Landscape: - 2024 Election: Republican infighting over the upcoming presidential election intensifies, as Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis jockey for dominance. Meanwhile, Democrats grapple with finding a unifying candidate with the potential to defeat a resurgent GOP. - Black Voter Outreach: President Biden faces challenges in maintaining the enthusiasm of Black voters who were crucial to his 2020 victory. Concerns about economic stagnation and insufficient progress on racial justice could dampen their turnout in the next elections. Analysis: This week’s developments highlight the multitude of challenges President Biden faces. Domestically, partisan gridlock and an impeachment inquiry complicate his agenda, while international issues like the Ukraine war and tensions with Russia demand skillful diplomacy. Navigating these turbulent waters will require strategic decision-making, political acumen, and the ability to rally public support. The coming months will be crucial in determining the trajectory of his presidency and the outcome of the 2024 elections. Stay tuned for further updates as the story unfolds! This is a rapidly evolving situation, and new developments could emerge at any moment. We will continue to monitor the news and provide comprehensive analysis of President Biden’s actions and their implications.

Israel Gives Conditional Approval for Cypriot Aid Shipment to Gaza In a significant move signaling possible easing of restrictions, Israel has given preliminary approval to a request from Cyprus to ship humanitarian aid to Gaza via a maritime corridor. This development comes amidst escalating tensions and humanitarian concerns in the region, with the Gazan population grappling with chronic shortages of water, food, fuel, and medicine. Israel’s Tentative Approval The Israeli foreign ministry, led by Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, granted initial consent for the establishment of a humanitarian channel between Cyprus and the Gaza Strip, which has been under an Israeli blockade since Hamas took control in 2007. The proposed corridor, known as the ‘Amalthea’ program, aims to replace the Erez and Kerem Shalom crossings, ensuring Gaza’s supplies no longer need to pass through Israel. The first installment of aid under this initiative, carried by a British amphibious ship, awaits Israel’s final approval before being redirected towards Gaza. Logistical and Security Concerns Despite the preliminary green light, there are notable security and logistical issues that need addressing. These include ensuring the safety of the ships and crews, determining who will receive the aid, and guaranteeing its distribution to the Gazan population. The details are expected to be ironed out as soon as possible to establish a fast-track process for sending humanitarian aid to Gaza through this corridor. International Pressure and Future Implications Israel’s tentative approval comes in the wake of growing international pressure, following a UN Security Council resolution calling for ‘safe and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance at scale.’ The maritime corridor initiative, although still in its incipient stages, indicates a cooperative effort between Cyprus and Israel to address the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. It is a significant move that could lead to an increase in aid delivery and a potential shift in Israel’s policy towards the Gaza Strip.

Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza: A New Wave of Conflict Looms In a recent escalation of the ongoing conflict, Israeli military jets have launched airstrikes on the central region of Gaza. This alarming development comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hints at a potential prolongation of the military campaign, raising concerns about an intensification of the historical tensions between Israel and Gaza, which often lead to varying degrees of armed confrontations. Deadly Airstrikes and Rising Tensions Over 130 Palestinians, including civilians, students, and a paramedic, have tragically lost their lives in the aftermath of the devastating Israeli airstrikes. These strikes targeted various areas across the northern and central Gaza Strip, including agricultural land, a mosque, and multiple residences, leading to additional casualties and widespread destruction. The rising death toll and ongoing violence have resulted in a staggering number of casualties, with over 21,822 Palestinians killed and 56,451 wounded since October 7. Hamas at the Heart of the Conflict Israeli forces are currently engaged in clashes with Hamas militants in Gaza. The Palestinian death toll from the airstrikes has reached 165 in the last 24 hours. This conflict was triggered by Hamas-led raids into Israel on October 7. Consequently, the Israeli military destroyed the apartment of Yehia Sinwar, the Hamas leader. The Israeli military is now on a manhunt for members of Hamas, following a surprise attack by the group that killed 1,200 people. Humanitarian Crisis in the Making The ongoing Israeli airstrikes and warfare have resulted in nearly 20,000 deaths and displaced over a million residents in Gaza, thereby plunging the region into a humanitarian catastrophe. With no safe places left for civilians to take shelter, the territory is teetering on the edge of a severe crisis.

Israeli Military Operations Escalate Tensions in Conflict-Ridden Territories Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have launched a large-scale counterterrorism operation targeting terrorist infrastructure across the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and southern Lebanon. These operations have seen the arrest of several wanted individuals in the West Bank and confirmed the death of two soldiers in the Gaza ground operation. Amidst these escalating tensions, the Biden administration approved a $147.5 million sale of weapons to Israel, including artillery shells, despite objections. Impact on Civilian Population Israeli airstrikes have significantly impacted refugee camps in Gaza, resulting in the displacement of over 85% of the population. The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees has warned of a potential hunger catastrophe in the territory as military operations continue unabated. Palestinians displaced within Gaza have reported dire living conditions, exorbitant food prices, and inadequate sanitation facilities. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has affirmed his decision to remain in office, stating that Israel’s war against Hamas will continue for several more months. US Involvement The US Navy responded to a distress call from a merchant vessel under attack by Houthi militants, sinking three small boats in the Red Sea. Despite this engagement, the White House clarified it is not seeking to escalate conflict in the Middle East. Although direct strikes on the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels inside Yemen have been avoided, the US has authorized strikes on other Iranian proxy groups. The escalation of Houthi attacks on commercial tankers, which they claim are linked to Israel, has coincided with the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Gaza Aid and Future Prospects As part of a proposed sea corridor from Cyprus, Israel has agreed to allow ships to deliver aid to the war-ravaged Gaza Strip immediately. This marks the first easing of a 16-year Israeli naval blockade imposed on Gaza in 2007. Despite this, the health situation in Gaza remains desperate according to a delegation of Canadian and American medics. The Israeli military’s stated goal is to eliminate Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that launched a surprise cross-border assault on Israeli towns. As the conflict continues, there are growing fears of it morphing into a wider regional conflict involving Hamas ally Iran and other groups Tehran supports across the Middle East.

Israeli Military’s Demolition Operations: Controversy and Consequences In recent developments, the Israeli military has undertaken operations leading to the demolition of structures in territories previously seized. These activities are part of a broader military campaign that Israel frequently executes in areas under its control, a strategy particularly prominent in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The operations predominantly target buildings and infrastructures that Israeli authorities deem illegal or associate with militant activities. Military Actions and Controversy These demolition activities have been a source of controversy, often provoking responses from the international community, human rights organizations, and the affected populations. Israel typically justifies these demolitions on the grounds of security, but critics argue they constitute collective punishment and violate international law. The impact of these operations on the local population is significant, leading to displacement and escalated tensions. A cycle of violence is often associated with these demolitions, as militant groups may retaliate, which in turn can trigger further military responses by Israel. The Humanitarian Crisis Recent Israeli airstrikes on refugee camps in Gaza have led to the displacement of thousands of Palestinians. The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees warns of an impending famine risk, coupled with shortages of food, clean water, and medical supplies. With over 21,600 individuals, predominantly women and children, killed in Gaza, American officials have been advocating for more targeted attacks on Hamas leaders. However, there is little evidence to suggest that the ongoing war has enhanced the country’s safety. Economic Impact of the Conflict The ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza has severe economic repercussions for both parties. It has caused extensive damage to infrastructure, displaced over 1.8 million people in Gaza, and resulted in a significant death toll. The Israeli economy also suffers from a sharp decline in tax revenue, increased government expenditure, and potential credit rating downgrades. The high-tech sector, a critical driver of the Israeli economy, is enduring as many tech industry workers are deployed to battle. The war has also led to a decrease in foreign investment, halted production from Israel’s gas fields, and significantly reduced exports. With the government projected to incur costs around $18 billion, potential for this to rise to $50 billion looms if the war continues for several more months. The widespread economic hardship experienced by businesses and workers, coupled with a decline in trust towards the government and military, further exacerbates the situation.

The allure of the Octagon is undeniable. The clash of wills, the display of athleticism and martial prowess, the raw emotion – Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has captivated audiences and inspired countless individuals to step into the cage themselves. But the path to becoming a successful MMA fighter is paved with dedication, sacrifice, and mastering a diverse skillset. Here are some timeless tips to guide aspiring MMA fighters on their journey, offering enduring value that transcends temporary trends or fads: 1. Build a Solid Foundation: Forget fancy footwork and flashy spinning kicks – a rock-solid foundation is crucial for any aspiring MMA fighter. This means dedicating time to strength and conditioning, focusing on core stability, explosive power, and cardiovascular endurance. Think squats, deadlifts, Olympic lifts, and grueling cardio sessions – the sweat you shed now will pay dividends later. 2. Master the Fundamentals: MMA is a beautiful blend of various martial arts disciplines. Don’t get lured by the allure of one specific style – prioritize mastering the fundamentals of boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Each discipline offers unique skillsets that, when woven together, create a complete MMA fighter. 3. Embrace the Grind: There’s no shortcut to success in MMA. It’s a physically and mentally demanding sport that requires unwavering dedication and a willingness to grind day in and day out. Be prepared for early mornings, sore muscles, and moments of self-doubt. But remember, the fire forged in the crucible of hard work will ultimately shape you into a formidable competitor. 4. Find Your Tribe: Surround yourself with people who share your passion and understand the demands of the sport. Train with dedicated coaches and sparring partners who push you to your limits and offer constructive criticism. Building a supportive community within the gym will motivate you, keep you accountable, and accelerate your growth. 5. Sharpen Your Mind: MMA isn’t just about brute force; it’s a strategic chess match played out on the canvas. Develop your fight IQ by studying past matches, analyzing your opponents, and formulating game plans. Learn to adapt in real-time, capitalize on your opponent’s weaknesses, and execute your own techniques with precision and timing. 6. Embrace the Journey: Remember, the path to becoming an MMA fighter is a marathon, not a sprint. There will be setbacks, losses, and moments of frustration. But with unwavering dedication, a relentless pursuit of improvement, and a love for the sport, you can turn those challenges into stepping stones on your journey to the top. Bonus Tip: Never underestimate the power of visualization. See yourself stepping into the Octagon, executing your techniques flawlessly, and emerging victorious. Mental rehearsal can be a powerful tool to program your mind for success. These timeless tips are just the beginning of your MMA journey. Remember, the Octagon awaits those who are willing to put in the work, embrace the grind, and never give up on their dreams.

New Year Rings in with Rocket Barrage: Hamas Targets Tel Aviv in Bold Escalation As the globe marked the dawn of a new year, the inhabitants of Tel Aviv and its surrounding suburbs witnessed a spectacle that was far from celebratory. The night sky was illuminated with a barrage of rockets, sent soaring by the Qassam Brigades, the militant arm of Hamas. This marked a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict as these rockets had one destination – Tel Aviv and other central Israeli cities. The Unprecedented Targeting of Tel Aviv Often seen as a city shielded from such direct attacks, the targeting of Tel Aviv has sent shockwaves across the region. This is viewed as a bold and aggressive move, suggesting a possible intensification of the conflict between the militant groups in Gaza and Israel. The Current State of Affairs A Hamas armed wing commander, Abdul Fattah Amin Maali, was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza, and a video released by the Qassam Brigades shows their forces battling the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip. This is part of a larger pattern of hostilities, leading to the 2023 Israel Hamas war, resulting in over 1,000 deaths and the capture of approximately 250 Israeli civilians and soldiers as hostages. Looking Ahead The consequences of this rocket assault are yet to unfold, but it is likely to trigger a strong response from Israel. The potential for further military actions and an increase in regional tensions is high. The ongoing war has already caused significant casualties, with deaths of at least 21,822 Palestinians and the injury of 56,451. The coming days will reveal the true impact of this escalation, as both sides brace for what could be a lengthy conflict heading into 2024.

Tom Curran, the English all-rounder currently plying his trade for Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League (BBL), finds himself at the center of controversy and uncertainty amidst the ongoing tournament. Let’s take a deep dive into the latest developments surrounding Curran and their potential impact on his BBL season: Four-Match Ban for Umpire Intimidation: The week’s biggest headline has been Curran’s four-match suspension for intimidating an umpire during a BBL match against Hobart Hurricanes. Video footage showed Curran approaching the umpire after a dismissal, leading to an altercation and accusations of aggressive behavior. While Curran maintains his innocence and argues it was a misunderstanding, Cricket Australia upheld the charge, leaving him unavailable for the next four Sixers games. Sydney Sixers Appeal the Ban: The Sixers, expressing strong support for Curran, have promptly appealed the suspension. They maintain that Curran did not intentionally disrespect the umpire and believe the video footage doesn’t paint the full picture. This appeal process could potentially see the ban reduced or even overturned, but a final decision is yet to be made. Impact on BBL and Desert Vipers Contract: This incident throws a curveball into Curran’s BBL campaign. Losing a key player like him for a significant chunk of the tournament is a considerable blow for the Sixers, who rely heavily on his bowling and batting prowess. Additionally, Curran’s contract with the Desert Vipers in the International League T20 (ILT20) starting January 19th hangs in the balance. Whether he can join the Vipers as planned with the ban in place remains uncertain. Mental Fortitude Under Scrutiny: The incident raises questions about Curran’s mental state and temperament on the field. While known for his aggressive style, past instances of on-field altercations have drawn criticism. Curran will need to demonstrate composure and focus on regaining control of his emotions to navigate this challenging period. Looking Ahead: The coming weeks will be crucial for Curran. The outcome of the appeal will determine his availability for the remaining BBL matches, while his performance once back on the field will be under intense scrutiny. Regaining the trust of his teammates, fans, and cricket authorities will be paramount for Curran to overcome this turbulent phase and continue his journey as a promising all-rounder. Stay tuned for further updates! This situation is still evolving, and new developments could emerge soon. We will continue to monitor the appeal process, Curran’s BBL status, and his future with the Desert Vipers, keeping you informed every step of the way. Remember, this content is based on readily available news articles and may not reflect all aspects of the situation. It’s important to consult multiple sources and engage in critical thinking to form your own informed opinions.

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.

Unfolding Conflict in Gaza Strip: Israeli Army Releases Five Brigades In what appears to be an ambiguous turn of events, the Israeli army has reportedly released five brigades that were deeply engaged in the conflict in the Gaza Strip. This move, announced through Army Radio—a communication channel for the military forces—has sparked speculations about the potential for a protracted conflict. The Gaza Strip, a constant epicenter of confrontations between Israel and Palestinian armed groups, is once again under the global spotlight. Brigades Release: A Strategic Move or a Step towards De-escalation? The release of the brigades could be interpreted in several ways: it may suggest preparations for a sustained military effort, a strategic realignment of forces, or even a shift in tactics. Alternatively, it may hint at an attempt to de-escalate the situation. However, the precise intentions behind this move remain shrouded in uncertainty. Unfolding Violence: A Tale of Casualties and Destruction The Israeli Defense Forces have been actively combatting Hamas in the Gaza Strip, with significant achievements including the destruction of large tunnels. Yet, the fight continues in northern Gaza, Hamas’ last stronghold, where the IDF is yet to establish operational control in certain neighborhoods. Amidst this ongoing conflict, the Israeli army has announced the casualty of three officers and a soldier during battles with Palestinian Resistance fighters. Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon has reportedly treated over 3,500 wounded since October 7. The death toll among Israeli soldiers and officers since then stands at 486, according to official Israeli numbers, although the Palestinian Resistance claims a much higher figure. Caught in Crossfire: Soldiers and Civilians Among the fallen Israeli soldiers are Master Sgt. (res.) Constantine Sushko and Capt. Harel Ittah. Sushko, a 30-year-old Combat Engineering Corps serviceman, graduated from Gymnasia Herzliya and studied electronics and computer engineering at Ben-Gurion University. Ittah, 22, served as a commander in the Givati Brigade’s reconnaissance unit. In addition to the military casualties, over 130 Palestinians have lost their lives due to relentless Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. The unfolding situation in the Gaza Strip is not isolated. It’s part of a complex geopolitical context involving Israeli security concerns, Palestinian aspirations for statehood, and wider regional dynamics. Middle Eastern countries and international stakeholders are closely monitoring the situation, given its potential implications for regional stability and global security.

Nigeria News Apostle Selman Releases Powerful Prophetic Words For 2024 The Senior Pastor of Koinonia Global, Apostle Joshua Selman, has released powerful prophetic words for the year 2024. Naija News reports that the clergyman released the words in a post on his Ministry’s Twitter handle on Sunday evening. PROPHETIC WORD FOR 2024: “Precious Saints, “The Lord has declared that 2024 is for us in Koinonia Global “THE YEAR OF EXCEEDING GREAT REWARDS!” According to His Word thus written; ”After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; Your reward [for obedience] shall be very great.”“ Genesis 15:1 AMP ”The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.“ Ruth 2:12 KJV ”You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God. What profit is it if we keep His ordinances, and walk around like mourners before the Lord of hosts? So now we call the arrogant happy and blessed. Evildoers are exalted and prosper; and when they test God, they escape [unpunished].’ ” Then those who feared the Lord [with awe-filled reverence] spoke to one another; and the Lord paid attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who fear the Lord [with an attitude of reverence and respect] and who esteem His name. “They will be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “on that day when I publicly recognize them and openly declare them to be My own possession [that is, My very special treasure]. And I will have compassion on them and spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.” Then you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves God and the one who does not serve Him.“ Malachi 3:14-18 AMP ”His Lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.“ Matthew 25:21 KJV ”Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.“ 1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV “We encourage you to receive this Word with heightened faith in your heart and pray with these Scriptures. “May the God of all grace bring His Word to pass in your life. “Shalom.”

2023: A Year of Unprecedented Immigration to the EU In a historic upswing, the year 2023 witnessed an unparalleled surge in immigration to the European Union. The epicenter of this influx is the Italian island of Lampedusa, a key entry point into Europe, now grappling with a swelling tide of migrants. The ripple effects of this development are shaking the very foundations of the EU, triggering heated debates about immigration policies, and probing the need for a unified, humane response to the complexities of migration. Unprecedented Surge in Migrant Arrivals Lampedusa, a small Sicilian island, has seen a significant increase in migrant arrivals since last summer. As Europe erects walls on its borders to stem the so-called ‘invasion’, the island has become a pressure cooker of sorts. Italy registered over 155,700 irregular arrivals by sea this year, a sharp increase compared to the previous year. The number of migrant arrivals in Italy in 2023 has reached 144,000, a substantial escalation from the preceding year. Lampedusa has been the gateway for nearly 46,100 migrants, including a large number of unaccompanied minors. Political Moves and Humanitarian Concerns Italy’s far-right government, in a move that has sparked controversy, signed an agreement to set up centers in Albania to accommodate 3,000 asylum seekers. The move has been criticized by aid workers and NGOs alike. There are concerns that non-EU countries could be turned into detention centers, exchanged for the promise of EU membership. In an alarming development, negotiators from the European Parliament and the Council of the EU reached a political agreement on a new pact on migration and asylum, aiming to shift responsibility for protecting asylum seekers beyond its borders. This could lead to fewer migrants on European soil but potentially more deaths at Europe’s gates, as asylum seekers are forced to take increasingly dangerous routes to avoid violence from border officials. The Humanitarian Crisis and the EU’s Response In a recent incident, a migrant rescue ship with 106 people on board, including 40 minors, some unaccompanied, disembarked in southern Italy. They were found and saved in international waters southwest of Lampedusa. Despite concerted efforts to combat human trafficking and cooperate with Tunisian and Libyan authorities, the flow of refugees from various countries continues unabated. The report also underscores the challenges faced by NGOs in conducting sea rescues and the alarming number of migrant deaths and missing persons in the central Mediterranean. This ongoing humanitarian crisis is a litmus test for the EU’s immigration policy and its relations among member states.

This humanizes him beyond the larger-than-life action hero, fostering a sense of connection and admiration. - Promoting Positive Values: Through his actions, Diesel subtly reinforces themes of family, hope, and overcoming adversity – values that resonate deeply with his audience. This aligns him with positive ideals and strengthens his appeal as a role model. - Community Engagement: By interacting directly with fans and actively participating in charitable causes, Diesel demonstrates authenticity and a genuine interest in connecting with his supporters. This strengthens the “family” bond at the core of the “Fast & Furious” franchise and further solidifies his loyal fanbase. Fan Loyalty Reinforcement: - Emotional Connection: Diesel’s personal interaction with fans, often documented and shared online, creates a sense of intimacy and belonging. This fosters a deeper emotional connection and loyalty that transcends typical celebrity-fan relationships. - Positive Reinforcement: His genuine acts of kindness and interest in their lives resonate with fans on a personal level. This positive reinforcement strengthens their connection to him and the “Fast & Furious” universe, encouraging continued support and engagement. - Shared Values: By championing causes close to the hearts of his audience, such as children’s well-being or fighting cancer, Diesel demonstrates a shared value system. This builds a sense of community and reinforces the idea that he’s one of them, not just a distant Hollywood star. Challenges and Considerations: - Maintaining Authenticity: Over-reliance on public displays of goodwill could backfire if perceived as inauthentic or self-serving. Finding a balance between genuine acts of kindness and public awareness is crucial to maintain credibility. - Scaling up Impact: Reaching out to individual fans is heartwarming, but addressing larger societal issues requires strategic, sustained efforts. Partnering with established charities or focusing on specific causes can maximize his impact and create lasting change. - Avoiding Oversaturation: While fan interaction is valuable, excessive exposure could lead to diminishing returns. Balancing personal engagements with his professional commitments is crucial to prevent his humanitarian efforts from overshadowing his acting career.

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. —- Associated Press writer Jari Tanner in Helsinki, Finland, contributed to this report. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

Pope Francis Calls for Improved City Services in Rome for 2025 Holy Year In his year-end vespers service at the Vatican, Pope Francis urged for improvements to Rome’s basic services, a call to action that comes ahead of the anticipated 2025 Holy Year. The Holy Year, also referred to as a Jubilee Year, is a significant event in the Catholic Church that brings tens of millions of pilgrims to Rome seeking blessings. The event takes place at least every 25 years. Rome’s Challenges Ahead of the Holy Year The Pope’s comments, made in the prestigious St. Peter’s Basilica, highlighted the need for the city to enhance its accessibility, particularly for the elderly and individuals with mobility issues. He stressed the difficulties arising from inefficient public transportation, overflowing garbage, and the relentless traffic congestion. As the city prepares for the Holy Year, it is grappling with heightened traffic issues due to construction efforts, including the expansion of the subway system and creation of road underpasses. A Call for a Welcoming Rome Pope Francis emphasized the importance of Rome as a symbol of hope, and its necessity to be a welcoming city for both its residents and the incoming visitors. He expressed his vision of Rome as a city that can cater to all, a place where the faithful can seek and receive blessings without hindrance. The Pope’s remarks were made in the presence of Rome’s Mayor, Roberto Gualtieri, who later had a personal interaction with the Pontiff. Other Global News In other news, Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II announced her abdication. The U.S. military successfully thwarted an attack on a Maersk vessel, sinking the attacking boats and leaving no survivors. The Vatican marked the first anniversary of Pope Benedict XVI’s passing. On the political front, various appointments and statements were made by governments worldwide, including Israel and Russia.

Grand Theft Auto VI trailer boosts 80s track streams by 37,000%: Five other games that massively propelled music A recent new trailer gives fans the first look at the hotly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI, set to release in 2025, and it’s guaranteed to be the top selling Christmas present in a couple of years time. The trailer has quickly become the most-viewed video game trailer of all time, and as a result, the song featured in the trailer, Love is a Long Road by 80s rocker Tom Petty, has seen a huge 37,000% increase in Spotify streams. The astonishing increase shows the impact that the multi-billion dollar gaming industry has on music and other media. The gaming industry is now worth a staggering $347 billion dollars. Adam Savinson, Gaming Expert at Sportsboom.com, has looked at ways games such as Grand Theft Auto, and particularly sports games such as FIFA / EAFC, have had a huge impact on music. 1. Grand Theft Auto Evident from the release of the latest trailer for the franchise’s sixth entry, Grand Theft Auto has a huge impact on the music the game utilises, and not only just through its trailers.. A staple of GTA games, and something fans are greatly looking forward to in the new entry, is the in-game radio stations. Vehicles in the game have radios where players can select various radio stations to listen to in-game. These stations are fake and contain pre-recorded commentary and fake advertisements, but the stations incorporate real songs for added authenticity. This greatly impacts the music outside the game, with many people associating songs with the game. One of the most popular stations on Grand Theft Auto V, the series’ last entry, was Non-Stop Pop, which saw older tracks from artists such as The Pet Shop Boys, INXS and Wham gain huge popularity. As the most popular video game franchise of all time, it’s no surprise to see its influential effect on players’ musical choices. 2. FIFA / EA Sports FC 24 Sports games, particularly games such as FIFA, now known as EA Sports FC, have a huge influence on the music it features in the game. The FIFA games are released annually with a new and bespoke soundtrack that usually plays randomly on the main menu. Since the game requires players to spend a considerable amount of game time at the main menu, selecting teams, customising characters, and choosing tactics for example, the soundtrack holds considerable influence. The soundtrack usually utilises smaller indie artists, and their feature on the game massively propels these artists’ status and brings their songs into the mainstream. One interesting phenomenon from FIFA games of the past is the element of nostalgia connected to songs featured in games from years back. For example, this TikTok reminiscing on 10 FIFA songs from the past has received 6.1 million views. 3. Wipeout Originally released as a launch title on the original Playstation back in 1996, futuristic racing game Wipeout was one of the first games to be released with an accompanying soundtrack of licensed music. Wipeout was revolutionary in it’s use of music, utilising mainly electronic dance music tracks including artists such as Leftfield, The Chemical Brothers and Orbital. These were huge artists at the time, and their music was almost considered futuristic. Electronic dance music perfectly accompanies the futuristic setting of the game, and the music also reflects the high speed, high pressure, and consequentially challenging aspects of the gameplay. Upon release of the first game, the marketing campaign that utilised the EDM featured, and used high profile figures of the time such as Radio 1 DJ Sara Cox, which made Wipeout reach audiences that other games coudn’t. It infiltrated the UK EDM counter culture of the time. This tying together of club culture and gaming, made gaming cool and acceptable in a different field. 4. NBA Like FIFA, the NBA game franchise similarly features a bespoke soundtrack that plays on the main menu in-game. NBA games are also released annually, meaning many soundtracks accompany the game. Some of the most well-remembered songs from the NBA series include ‘Viva la Vida’ by Coldplay and ‘Electric Feel’ by MGMT. 5. Guitar Hero Guitar Hero saw peak popularity in the mid to late 2000s, and it was a revolutionary way to game upon its original release. The game is played with a guitar controller, and the coloured buttons act as notes on a guitar. In the game, coloured notes appear on the screen and the objective is to press the corresponding coloured button on the controller to play a note along with the song. This game was highly influential on the music featured, bringing old rock songs back into popularity. Bands such as Van Halen and Guns N Roses were boosted back into popularity, and it also brought the band Dragonforce to the mainstream, as their song ‘Through the Fire and the Flames’ is famous as one of the most challenging songs from the game. Guitar Hero is still popular to this day, with the game being very popular with streamers on Twitch, and the game has an arcade version which is a staple of modern arcades.
