CHANDIGARH: The advanced paediatric centre at Government Multi-specialty Hospital, Sector 16, which was supposed to get functional in 2021, will be operational from January 4 next year, an official from the UT health department said. The much-delayed project was planned during the Covid pandemic when it was assessed that the subsequent wave would affect children and increase pneumonia and other respiratory illnesses. In October 2021, the health department had proposed to set up a dedicated 32-bed paediatric unit with ICU centre. The unit was to be built at a cost of Rs 2.25 crore, as approved by the Centre. The project was partly funded by emergency covid response package-II. Presently, the GMSH-16 has a 20-bed ICU facility for children, including a total of eight ventilator beds and 12 others with oxygen facility. The enhancement of paediatric beds and ventilators were felt during the second wave of Covid-19 by the UT health department. This centre will be a dedicated centre for the newborns. Often the newborns and the mothers share a bed due to lack of beds and space in the hospital.

Times Square gears up for 2024 with millions planning to ring in the new year TIMES SQUARE - 1 million people are expected to watch the ball drop in Times Square tonight and more than a billion from across the world will join the countdown to 2024. "I'm looking forward to the show, the atmosphere, the party, and having a good time," a man from Switzerland said. Some people traveled from Japan and Mexico. "I feel excited, and a lot of love," a little boy from Mexico said. While 2024 is hours away, getting a good spot requires people to come to the area extra early. Some people even got to Times Square at 10 p.m. on Saturday. Those who don’t want to stand outside bought tickets at one of the restaurants, venues or hotels in the area — spending hundreds and even thousands. " It’s crazy - I never expected New York to be this busy here in Times Square - I knew it was busy but not this busy," a man said. New Year's Eve fun facts: - New Year's is a tradition dating back to the early 1900s. - The year was 1904, when New Year's Eve celebrations started in Times Square. - The very first ball drop was in 1907 and there have been several variations of the ball.

(Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images) The ball dropping at midnight weighs almost 12,000 pounds and is covered in crystals. The ball has a new bow tie theme for 2024. And like every year, the new year comes with its resolutions, usually. "My resolution is to be happy and spend time with friends and family," a girl said. Whether you are spending New Year's with friends, family, or even alone, near or far from home, you can find unity in Times Square.	https://www.fox5ny.com/news/times-square-gears-up-for-2024-with-millions-planning-to-ring-in-the-new-year	2024-01-01T01:47:34Z
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.

Ukraine’s Counteroffensive Challenges Russia’s Black Sea Fleet Ukraine’s strategic counteroffensive to protect its vital grain export industry is demonstrating remarkable resilience amid escalating tensions with Russia. The country has found an ingenious solution by using the Danube River to ship their cargo, turning the city of Izmail into one of Ukraine’s busiest harbors. However, this newfound importance has made it a prime target for Russian strikes, with recent missile attacks causing extensive damage to grain silos and residential areas. Ukraine’s Maritime Corridor: A Strategic Lifeline Despite threats of Russian attacks on the Black Sea, Ukraine has exported nearly 13 million tons of goods on approximately 400 vessels since establishing a protected maritime corridor in August. This corridor was created to ensure the safe passage of goods from Ukraine’s ports to the Bosphorus Straits after Moscow refused to agree on a new accord for cereal exports through the contested Black Sea. The success of this maritime corridor is evident by the fact that over 430 vessels have been loaded since its inception, according to Ukraine’s Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov. Ukraine’s Seaborne Counteroffensive The commitment of the Ukrainian forces to protecting their maritime interests is clear. In 2023, the Ukrainian military began using naval strike drones, forcing the Russian Black Sea Fleet to retreat from Ukrainian shores and abandon Sevastopol Bay. This strategic shift marked a significant victory for Ukraine, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declaring that his forces had ‘reconquered the sea’. Black Sea Conflict: Russia’s Countermeasures In response to the escalating conflict, Russia has employed the Beriev Be-12 seaplanes for air-to-sea bombing roles in the Black Sea. These seaplanes play a critical role in countering the threat posed by Ukraine’s kamikaze drone boats and destroying sea mines. Despite these measures, the use of larger platforms to combat smaller, simpler weapons represents a disadvantageous cost-to-benefit ratio for Moscow. In the face of these mounting challenges, Russia’s historic Black Sea Fleet, a dominant force in the region for 240 years, finds itself at a crossroads. The escalating hostilities and strategic shifts underscore the potential vulnerability of Russia’s naval assets, highlighting the changing dynamics in this volatile region.

The status of Punjab’s fiscal health calls for deep analysis and strategic interventions. Started since militancy, the crisis compounded after the neo-liberal economic policies of the 1990 when the rate of growth decelerated. No government in the post-liberalisation phase tried to find out the cause and prepare a strategy to overcome the challenges. This piecemeal approach had alarming outcomes, since the public debt, committed expenditure, welfare budget, and spending on free services all increased, while the capital expenditure was abysmal, fiscal deficit beyond the prescribed limit, and additional resource mobilisation restricted by policy. A lax policy invites gigantic fiscal disasters that paralyse government services first and then social and economic development. Punjab’s burgeoning public debt is its most disturbing fiscal parameter. The last budget pro-jected its outstanding debt to be more than Rs 3.4 lakh crore or almost 50% of the gross state domestic product (GSDP), country’s highest. This high ratio is bad for fiscal sustainability, for it makes debt servicing a perennial liability. When the government can’t clear its loans, it increases its public borrowing, which traps the economy in a vicious debt cycle. The state’s present government borrowed about Rs 47,000 crore, of which 57% or Rs 27,000 crore went into paying interest on the earlier debt. Overdependence on public debt cripples the economy, while the exponential growth of committed expenditure on debt servicing (payment of principal and interest) makes the development and capital projects suffer. The 15th Finance Commission has recom-mended a public debt limit of 32.5% of the GSDP for all states in aggregate by the financial year 2025-26. The committed expenditure onsalaries, wages, pension, retirement benefits, and interest payments takes away a lion’s share of the state revenue. In the 2023-24 budget, this expend-iture was estimated to be 75% of the total revenue receipts. Count power subsidy, welfare schemes, and free services, and this expenditure surpasses 80% of the GSDP, leaving meagre resources for development. The capital expenditure, foundation of development projects, has not found priority in the state budgets. It was 6.38% of the total expenditure in 2021-22 and projected to be 5.27% in the 2023-24 budget. Abysmal low capital expenditure doesn’t auger well for economic development. Fiscal deficit, which shows excess of expenditure over receipts, was 4.77% of the GSDP and projected to be 4.98% in the year 2023-24. Under the Punjab Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act, 2003, the prescribed limit is 3%. Successive finance ministers either haven’t proposed any new taxes for additional resources or brought those in later to settle urgent liabilities. The cumulative effect of this no-new-taxes policy also caused the fiscal crisis. For bringing the fiscal parameters within the prescribed limit, Punjab needs to augment revenue, contain expenditure, and rationalise its needs. On the revenue side, focus on mobilising additional resources by tapping the full potential of both tax and nontax revenue sources. On tax revenue front, Punjab has considerable potential. Its tax-to-GSDP ratio was 6.1% between 2015-16 and 2020-21. For a higher tax revenue, this ratio should be 7.5%, aligning with the best performing states. For this, the state should introduce new taxes, broaden the tax base, improve tax compliance, and use digital-driven reforms. For building resources from non-tax revenue, it should increase the user charges, improve the performance of PSUs, disinvest, and monetise its assets. On the expenditure side, Punjab should cut its committed and free services expenditure to 60% of the revenue receipts gradually by limiting subsidies to the actual poor. Ideas such as ‘Pani Bachao, Paise Kamao (save water, earn money)’ scheme for the farm sector can help stabilise power subsidy and promote sustainable water use. Zero-based budgeting — of starting each programme from the scratch and including it in the budget if the outcome is productive — can weed out unproductive expenditure. Study how 11 states introduced outcome-based budgeting. The writer is BS Ghusman former vice-chancellor of f Punjabi University, Patiala.

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.

Emulating its neighbouring state of Punjab, the craze among the youth in Haryana to go abroad for greener pastures has registered a manifold increase this year. Apart from those adopting legal ways to visit the foreign lands for study and other purposes, many gullible youngsters in the state are falling prey to travel agents, losing their money, usually earned through sale of ancestral lands or taking debt from relatives. In some cases, the youngsters from the tiny state have even lost their precious lives in the lure of earning some dollars. This year, from April to the first week of December, around 600 cases were registered by state agencies for immigration fraud, leading to the arrest of more than 500 persons. Data procured from the state’s police department revealed that as many as two special investigation teams (SITs) constituted by the state to track such cases had registered a total of 1,494 FIRs in which a total of 1,255 people were arrested till December first week. The data also revealed that around Rs 4.75 crore was recovered by the police in these cases. Haryana home minister Anil Vij said most people were sent to Latin American countries as well as the UK and the USA. Vij said information about the death of four people had also been received and strict action had been taken in the cases. He also mentioned that several cases of fake visas had come to light, which was “most alarming”. As per the SIT, currently probing such cases, a total of 509 accused were arrested for immigration fraud from April 17 to December 12. As of now, the cases related to cheating by immigration agents is being probed by an SIT headed by Sibash Kabiraj, IGP, Ambala Range, with Jaswinder Singh Randhawa, SP, Ambala, and Abhishek Jorwal, currently posted as DCP, Faridabad, as its members. Earlier, the SIT headed by the then IGP, Bharti Arora (now retired), had probed such cases from June 2, 2020, to November 30, 2021. A total of 486 cases were registered during the tenure of the previous SIT headed by Arora, until November 2021. Thereafter the new SIT headed by Kabiraj, after taking over in April this year, received 383 complaints from different police stations in which 153 cases were registered. Later, the SIT registered 625 fresh cases in which 509 persons were arrested. With this, a total of 1,494 FIRs have been reg- istered by the SIT so far and 1,255 people were arrested. The two SITs have also recovered over Rs 4.75 crore in relation to these cases – over Rs 1.81 crore seized by the previous SIT and over Rs 2.94 crore by the new SIT. Most of the people who fall in the trap of fraud agents were from Ambala, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Karnal, Yamunanagar, Jind and Panipat districts. The state police have not only launched a dedicated helpline to save the people from fraudulent travel agents, but have also prepared the draft of The Haryana Registration and Regulation of the Travelling Agencies Bill 2023 to tackle the cheats. As per the statement and data presented by V Muraleedharan, Union minister of state for external affairs, in the Parliament last year, Haryana had around 150 students going abroad per one lakh people. The Union government’s data also revealed that around 30,000 students hailing from Haryana headed towards other countries for study from 2018 till February 2022. Even when the Russia-Ukraine war broke out, around 2,000 people from Haryana, mostly students, were stuck in Ukraine. Agniveer to blame for foreign craze?Sources said following the introduction of the Agniveer scheme by the Centre, where the soldiers are selected only for four years and thereafter discharged without any pension and ESM (ex-servicemen) status, the youth were encouraged to move to foreign shores to get a job for decent living. The Army was one of the biggest employers for Haryana youngsters, who have a tradition of joining the forces since the Raj era. There are several cases in which the families have even mortgaged their lands to send their children abroad for earning. Rise in coaching centres for IELTSKnown for farming and sending youngsters to the armed forces, the state’s hinterland –Jind – has witnessed a large number of IELTS coaching centres flooded with the youngsters planning to fly abroad for better jobs. The craze has increased since Agniveer.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/quit-india-disillusioned-more-youngsters-attracted-to-foreign-shores/articleshow/106414558.cms	2024-01-01T01:47:43Z
Ukrainian Strikes on Russian City Belgorod Escalate Conflict In a tragic turn of events that underscores the escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, the Russian city of Belgorod was struck by Ukrainian forces, resulting in at least 18 reported fatalities, according to Russia’s emergencies ministry. The attack, labeled as one targeting civilians, has intensified the conflict that is nearing its second anniversary. This incident has drawn the attention of the international community, prompting an emergency UN Security Council meeting in New York. Escalating Conflict and Retaliatory Strikes Belgorod, previously untouched by the conflict, became a victim of the escalating hostilities, with the Russian defense ministry promising that these actions will not remain unpunished. In tandem, Russia has been accused of launching missile strikes on Ukrainian cities, with at least 39 lives claimed in the process. The city of Kharkiv, among others, has borne the brunt of these attacks, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky highlighting ongoing efforts to address the aftermath. International Response and Accusations The international community has responded to these attacks with condemnation, urging an immediate cessation of hostilities. Amidst rising tensions, NATO has expressed solidarity with Poland after a Russian missile briefly entered its airspace. Russia, on the other hand, has accused the United States and Britain of encouraging Ukraine to undertake what it terms as terrorist actions, alleging that the Western arms supplied to Ukraine are being used for these strikes. Ukrainian officials, however, have remained silent on the Belgorod strike. US and UK Support for Ukraine In a show of support for Ukraine, both the US and the UK have reiterated their commitments. US President Joe Biden has urged Congress to approve new aid for Ukraine, while the UK has pledged to send more air-defense missiles to Kyiv. In turn, Kremlin has informed that President Vladimir Putin has been updated on the Belgorod incident, as both nations brace for potential retaliatory actions.

Pep Guardiola reveals plan for January training camp in Abu Dhabi after 'incredible impact' it had for Man City last season - Pep Guardiola has revealed plans for Man City's warm weather training - There is an opportunity to train in Abu Dhabi in late January - The head coach has revealed that he hopes it can have an 'incredible impact' Pep Guardiola has revealed that Man City are planning a warm-weather training camp in Abu Dhabi. While a trip has not yet been finalised, there is an opportunity to train in the Middle East as City are without a fixture on the weekend of January 21-22, their designated free date during the Premier League's winter pause. Last season a group of City's players who didn't progress far in the 2022 World Cup joined Guardiola in Abu Dhabi for warm weather training, and he has now confirmed he is looking to do the same with his whole squad. Speaking to The Independent, he said: 'After Newcastle, if it's possible, we go to Abu Dhabi again, all together. 'Last season we were there in the World Cup and it had an incredible impact for the staff and everyone. The five titles (we won) prove it.' Pep Guardiola has revealed that Man City are planning a warm-weather training camp in Abu Dhabi Last season a group of City's players, including Erling Haaland, trained in Abu Dhabi Man City's owner, Sheikh Mansour, lives in Abu Dhabi and could be a motivating factor He continued to reveal that the plan is not set in stone and could change, but he beleives that it could prove to be key in the race for the Premier League title. 'We go there to train in better weather, to be together – training, training and training to prepare for the second part of the season,' Guardiola said. 'That is the plan but maybe we'll change it, I don't know yet.' Guardiola's side sit third in the Premier League, two points behind leaders Liverpool. After an impressive Treble last season, their FA Cup defence starts early in the New Year when they face Huddersfield in the third round. They will be hoping that they can push on at the start of 2023 following the return of Kevin de Bruyne and follow up their successes of last season with similar triumphs in 2024.	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12915335/Pep-Guardiola-January-training-Abu-Dhabi-Man-City.html	2024-01-01T01:47:43Z
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.

LADWA: Rajya Sabha MP Deepender Hooda expressed optimism that the upcoming year would mark a transformation in the state, with the BJP-JJP government making way for a Congress government in 2024. Deepender, elated by the substantial turnout at the Jan Aakrosh Rally in Ladwa, Kurukshetra, likened the event to an Agni Pariksha, emphasizing that this winter test would not be in vain and would signal a significant shift in the state's leadership. The rally was orchestrated by Ladwa MLA Mewa Singh. Haryana's leader of opposition and former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda was also scheduled to attend the rally but he didn't make it to the venue as his helicopter could not take off from Mahendragarh due to weather conditions. Referring to the arrogance of the people sitting in the government, he said that this government tortured every section of society. “The farmers’ movement continued for a year. The houses of 750 farmers (who died during agitation) were destroyed. Far from listening to the farmers, people in power did not even say a word of sympathy to the families of the martyred farmers,” he said. “On the contrary, farmers were even called terrorists and traitors. When the sports daughters who won medals for the country asked for justice, they were brutally dragged on the streets. Instead of providing justice to them, the government stood with the accused BJP MP,” he added. Deepender said that the government used force to suppress agitations against anti-people decisions and there was a lathi charge on farmers, laborers, MNREGA workers, sarpanch, rural watchmen, sanitation workers, players’ daughters, commission agents, Asha workers, Anganwadi workers. He pointed out that Haryana today has maximum corruption. He added, “People wanted to remove BJP in the 2019 elections itself as they were unhappy with this government. They defeated 12 out of 14 ministers and sent home, but JJP betrayed its voters and formed the BJP government,” “Neither 5100 old age pension was given in 5 years, nor 75 percent reservation was given in factories. The agreement of the BJP-JJP government built on the foundation of corruption was not to give 5100 pensions, but to close the files of their corruption, divide the departments among themselves, and carry out scams,” he added. He confronted the JJP, pointing out that in the previous election, it had garnered 10 seats by pledging to relegate the BJP to 'Jamnapar.' However, he asserted that this time, the JJP would struggle to secure even a single seat. “The public will take revenge for the betrayal by voting for them,” he said. Deepender promised that the Congress would provide a monthly pension of Rs 6,000 to the elderly. “Today there is neither employment in the private sector nor employment in the government sector. Permanent jobs are being replaced by temporary employment through the Skill Corporation or Agniveer,” he added. Talking about the massive scale of unemployment in Haryana, Deepender said that in the election year, 13,000 Group D jobs were released and 14 lakh educated youth filled out the forms for them. “People from other states are given most of the jobs given out by the Haryana government. Out of 80 in SDO recruitment, 78 were selected from outside. In SDO Electrical, 77 out of 99 were selected from outside, in the list of Assistant Professor Technical, 103 out of 156 were selected from outside and now recently, people from other states were recruited on 4 out of 7 posts in the SDOP list,” he said. He urged Chief Minister Khattar to disclose the specific RSS office from which the directive originates, outlining the allocation of jobs to individuals from outside Haryana. Highlighting that more than 20 recruitment scams took place in Haryana, he said, “Bribes worth crores of Rupees were caught in HPSC offices. Haryana has the highest unemployment in the country due to which the youth are selling their houses and taking loans worth lakhs, risking their lives and going abroad through the jungles of Panama or Mexico,” he said. He said he had himself met the youth of Haryana in America who are living there under compulsion of work and added that it is also difficult for them to come back. He said he would change this situation when Congress government is formed in the state. “If someone wants to go abroad, he should go happily, but not under compulsion,” he said. MP Deepender asserted that BJP-JJP made Haryana number 1 in inflation in the country and said, “Today the most Haryana has the most expensive electricity, and people have to pay thousands as their domestic electricity bills, because the government is providing expensive electricity to the consumers of Haryana by changing the agreement of cheap electricity with Adani company,” Deepender promised 300 units of free electricity, Rs 6,000 old age pension, gas cylinder for Rs 500.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/this-test-in-winter-will-not-go-in-vain-will-bring-change-in-haryana-says-deepender-hooda/articleshow/106423450.cms	2024-01-01T01:47:50Z
New Beginnings in Madinah, Art, and Sustainable Fashion Prince Salman bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz has commenced his new tenure as the governor of Madinah, a position he was appointed to by royal decree earlier this month. Upon entering the holy city, his first act was to pray in the Prophet’s Mosque, expressing gratitude for his new role and the opportunity it provides to serve the region. Saudi Calligrapher Inspires New Generation In the world of arts, Saudi calligrapher Siraj Al Omari is creating waves, inspiring a new generation to immerse themselves in the ancient art of Arabic calligraphy. Al Omari’s journey began with a simple Parker 21 pen gifted by his brother, which eventually led him to master complex styles such as Diwani, Farisi, and Jali Diwani. Despite not having a formal education in calligraphy, Al Omari had the good fortune to be mentored by the much-acclaimed calligrapher Mokhtar Alam. His work, influenced by Alam’s teachings, has gained recognition both within and outside Saudi Arabia. Now, at 60 years old, Al Omari shares his knowledge and skills with the world through live online tutorials, advocating for the importance of calligraphy as a basis for excellence in language and academics. Addressing Fast Fashion Waste In a significant stride towards sustainability, Saudis Kendah Jambi and Zainab Abumansour are tackling the issue of waste in the fast fashion industry. The 23-year-olds have launched their brand, Triad, which upcycles excess fabric into eco-friendly handbags. The innovative idea was inspired by the vast amounts of unused fabric they encountered during their college years. Triad’s products are not just environmentally friendly, but also offer a stylish alternative to conventional fast fashion products. Their unisex handmade tote bags contribute to sustainable fashion and a reduction in waste. The founders have been further motivated by the Saudi Fashion Commission’s efforts to promote sustainable practices in the fashion industry.

SANDHAUR (MALERKOTLA): Sitting on a charpoy outside his house, basking under the winter sun, over 110-year-old Sardool Singh recollects his fight against "injustice" by the British before the Partition. Perhaps, one of the oldest surviving freedom fighters of the country, Sardool Singh is among the lucky few on whose name a village gate is being built. A social organisation and residents of Sandhaur village have come forward to construct the village gate dedicated to the veteran freedom fighter. The construction is expected to start on January 1. Sardool Singh is also awaiting pucca road to his house - a long-pending demand and an unfulfilled dream. Recalling the early days of his life, Sardool Singh says he was born in a farming family around 1910 and studied till Class VIII. Upset with the oppression by the British in Punjab, I joined the Kissan Morcha to fight against British rule in 1928-29, he recalls. "We would stage dramas highlighting the cruelties of British rule. They would sell our resources and take the money to England. I was arrested while protesting against the illegal tax imposed by the British rulers," says the centenarian. "I was sent to Multan District Jail on October 9, 1939 after being convicted and sentenced for two years. There we were subjected to extreme torture. We were thrown into a dark cell. I remember the cell had three containers, one for water, other for urine, and third for excreta," he goes on. "They would get us roti but we would not eat and drink because we didn't want to urinate or excrete," narrates Sardool Singh. "One day, an officer came to our cell and we narrated the whole experience to him and he was kind enough to get us better facilities," he says, adding that he was also sentenced to six months imprisonment for raising voice against the British rule and was housed in Central Jail, Ferozepur. Sardool Singh is proud that he fought the mighty British and now he is living in free India, where there is no oppression. My only wish now is to see the kucha road leading to our house turn into pucca, and the villagers are working for it, he says with a sense of relief. He expresses happiness that villagers value his contribution and along with a social organisation are building a gate in his name. "We plan to get the gate constructed on Sandhaur Manki road. We have got the necessary permission from the public works department and hopefully the construction will start on January 1. The gate will have his (Sardool Singh) picture and information about his life", said Jagtar Singh, a social and political activist from the village. Inderpreet Singh, the founder of Grey Shades, which is helping in the construction, hailed Sardool Singh as a living example of "selfless service".	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/villagers-to-construct-a-gate-to-honour-114-yr-old-freedom-fighter/articleshow/106415441.cms	2024-01-01T01:47:56Z

Cineleisure: A Phoenix Rising with New Tenants and Offerings Amid Retail Apocalypse 8 Grange Road’s once bustling Cineleisure is striving to regain its popularity with a fresh mix of tenants and attractions. Emily Wu, a 38-year-old banker, recently brought her eight-year-old son for a playdate at Skypark by Kiztopia, one of the mall’s newest features. Over the past few years, Cineleisure has seen a retail apocalypse, with footfall and tenants dwindling due to Covid-19’s impact and the closure of Scape, a youth hangout spot adjacent to the mall. Now, the mall is strategically shifting its tenant mix, aiming to become a ‘gourmetainment hub’ offering a blend of entertainment and dining experiences. New Tenants and Offerings New tenants include Skypark by Kiztopia, Karpenko Gymnastics Academy (KGA), a martial arts gym, and cinemas run by Golden Village and The Projector. Additionally, to attract more customers, pop-up stores like the ‘Space of BTS’ have been introduced. Despite these initiatives, some areas of the mall remain quieter than the more bustling parts of the Orchard shopping belt. Impact on Existing Businesses Businesses like Active Fitness and Sugar Boxing have noticed an uptick in visitors with the new tenant strategy. However, for the mall to truly thrive, patrons like Ms. Wu and Mr. Lee, a 55-year-old who visited the mall for a movie outing with his family, believe there is a need for more food and beverage options and more amenities for youths to hang out. VivoCity’s Family-Friendly Model In contrast, VivoCity mall in Singapore has introduced new attractions for kids, including four large-scale inflatables with a water play zone, and hosts roadshows and events for kids and families. Visitors can also access free WiFi and earn rewards through the VivoCity SG app, making it a modern, family-friendly model that Cineleisure could potentially learn from.

Methodology: GOBankingRates determined the best cities in Indiana for a couple to live on only Social Security checks based on the average monthly benefit for retired workers, $1,796.31 ($3,592.62 for a couple), sourced from the Social Security Administration. GOBankingRates first isolated all cities in Indiana with a 2023 average monthly rent under $2,200 and a size rank below 2,000th. GOBankingRates then used Sperling’s Best Places to find the cost-of-living index for each listed city, looking at grocery and healthcare index scores. Next, GOBankingRates used data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics 2022 Consumer Expenditure Survey to find the annual expenditure amount for groceries (“food at home”), utilities and healthcare costs for people aged 65 and older in order to find how much a couple 65 and over would spend on groceries, utilities and healthcare in each city on a monthly basis. GOBankingRates then added monthly housing, grocery, utilities and healthcare costs together to find where a couple 65 and older could survive on their Social Security or less. To qualify for the study, cities had to have a livability score above 65 as sourced from AreaVibes. GOBankingRates scored and combined both livability and monthly necessities expenditures, with the lowest score being best, to determine final rankings. All data was collected and is up to date as of December 6, 2023.

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.	https://www.wnct.com/on-your-side/crime-tracker/colorado-mother-suspected-of-killing-2-of-her-children-arrested-in-the-uk-police/	2024-01-01T01:47:59Z

CHENNAI: To enable early detection of infection and enforce containment measures, the director of public health recommended "purposeful testing" of Covid-19 cases instead of "targeted testing" of high-risk cases in the state. The state added 26 more people to the Covid registry on Saturday taking the tally of active cases to 177. After reporting one death a day on Thursday and Friday, Tamil Nadu reported no new deaths on Saturday. Director of Public Health Dr T S Selvavinayagam has recommended testing all people with cough, fever, sore throat, breathlessness, and/or respiratory symptoms in the community. People above 60 years, individuals with comorbidities, lung or kidney disease, cancer, diabetes, and hypertension, and contacts of people who tested positive in a cluster must also be tested, he told. Health minister Ma Subramanian said the state has conducted 43,432 screening camps in the last two weeks. "These camps have helped us keep the incidence of infectious low. The state has so far recorded 8,953 dengue cases this year, which is below the normal 10,000 cases," he said. On Friday, the state reported a marginal increase in Covid cases when test results of 40 patients were positive. "Nearly 50% of the cases were in Chennai. Most people recover in three days," he said. On Saturday there were 97 active cases of Covid in Chennai followed by 23 in Chengalpet. By the end of the day, 21 patients were discharged from the state registry.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/26-more-covid-cases-in-tn-active-cases-stand-at-177/articleshow/106411726.cms	2024-01-01T01:48:02Z

Public Transport Ridership in Singapore: A Gradual Recovery Amidst Shifts in Commuting Patterns Public transport ridership in Singapore, including buses and trains, has shown a steady recuperation in 2023 but has not fully rebounded to the volumes recorded before the pandemic. As of October 2023, the average daily ridership for buses and trains combined stood at about 95% of the 2019 statistics. Specifically, bus ridership had bounced back to nearly 93%, while train ridership was at around 97% of 2019 levels. Travel Patterns Reflect Flexibility in Work Arrangements Despite the general recovery in public transport ridership, travel into the Central Business District (CBD) during weekday mornings has not followed suit. These figures are still below pre-pandemic levels, at approximately 80% of the 2019 numbers. This suggests that flexibility in work travel patterns persists, hinting at the enduring impact of telecommuting and flexible work arrangements that were widely adopted during the pandemic. Expressway Traffic Volumes Approach Pre-Pandemic Levels Contrary to the situation in the CBD, expressway traffic volumes have almost fully recovered, reaching about 97% of pre-pandemic levels. This has led to an increase in congestion and more frequent rush-hour traffic jams. Industry experts opine that these trends are likely a result of the continuing flexible work arrangements, where many interactions are now in-person but not necessarily concentrated during traditional peak hours. Implications for Future Transport Planning Statistics from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) indicate that while Singapore is gradually resuming pre-pandemic travel activity, the shift in commuting patterns may have long-term implications for transport planning. This is especially significant considering that investments in public transport infrastructure have traditionally been geared towards managing peak rush hour loads.

Try these tipples for a buzz with no hangover - We test grown-up tasting drinks with 0% ABV that'll provide a booze-free buzz - READ MORE: Are you sober for October? All the details on this trend, including mocktail recipes and how giving up alcohol can lead to more money and a smaller waistline After the frivolity and fun of the festive season, the prospect of non-alcoholic drinks can seem as dreary as January skies. But contrary to popular belief, booze-free doesn’t have to mean boring. We’ve come a long way from non-drinkers having to choose between Diet Coke or lime and soda. This year more than 8.5 million Brits are set to go sober for January, according to charity Alcohol Change UK, with a quarter of us planning on cutting back on an ongoing basis this year. Accordingly, Waitrose reports a 23 per cent increase in sales of low or no-alcohol beer, wines and spirits over the past 12 months. The newest batch of alcohol alternatives come pimped with all manner of health-boosting adaptogens (plant-based compounds that can help your body manage stress) and nootropics (substances that can improve your mood and focus). More than 8.5 million Brits are set to go sober for January, according to charity Alcohol Change UK These functional concoctions go beyond merely offering a grown-up tasting drink with 0% ABV, they can also give you a booze-free buzz. Don’t worry, they’re all legal, and — bonus! — won’t leave you with a hangover. After a particular bruising schedule of festive imbibing, we happily put some to the test... The midlifer’s midweek tipple Trip lemon basil, 4x 250ml cans, £6.50 (equivalent to £1.63 per can), Waitrose Whenever I peek in friends’ fridges, I often see a stash of Trip these days. I’ve lost count of the number of women who’ve told me they’ve swapped their evening glass of wine for this. The market leader and fastest-growing soft drinks brand in the UK, a can of Trip contains 15mg of CBD — cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive, legal chemical found in cannabis which can relieve pain and aid relaxation — and L-theanine, a stress-busting amino acid. Trip lemon basil, 4x 250ml cans, £6.50 (equivalent to £1.63 per can), Waitrose Verdict: This is my regular midweek tipple. I particularly love the range of delicate flavours, which includes blood orange and rosemary, and elderflower and mint. I like the chic can design too. It feels as if you’re drinking something special. One serving relaxes me in the same way a small glass of wine does, and I tend to sleep better than usual, which could be due to the addition of magnesium citrate. 8/10 Hello mellow Goodrays, 4x 250ml cans, £7.50 (equivalent to £1.88 per can), Tesco Goodrays, 4x 250ml cans, £7.50 (equivalent to £1.88 per can), Tesco London-based Goodrays launched during a 2020 lockdown and is nipping at the heels of market leader Trip. Calorie-wise, the rival brands are much of a muchness: this contains 32 calories per can, compared to Trip’s 19. But the key difference is a Goodrays can contains double the amount of CBD — 30mg to Trip’s 15mg. Verdict: These fruity elixirs are more boldly flavoured than Trip, which didn’t appeal, although the elderflower and yuzu one does taste sophisticated. The effects were incredible though — within half an hour I felt the perfect combination of insouciant and sociable, like when you’re two G&Ts into the evening. My friend tried it on the same evening and got the giggles, much to her husband’s amusement. She sent me a screenshot of her sleep tracker stats the next day, which revealed her best deep sleep rating in months. I duly checked my Oura [a health tracker] and found the same. 9/10 Beer with benefits Impossibrew Enhanced Non-Alcoholic Lager Beer, 10 x 440ml case, £29.99 (equivalent to £2.99 per can), impossibrew.co.uk Impossibrew Enhanced Non-Alcoholic Lager Beer, 10 x 440ml case, £29.99 (equivalent to £2.99 per can), impossibrew.co.uk There are now loads of alcohol-free beers on supermarket shelves, both from established brands such as Heineken and specialist booze-free ones like Lucky Saint. But with Impossibrew, which launched in 2022 and was developed by a professor of bioscience, you get nootropics in place of alcohol. It contains calming L-theanine and griffonia seed, which is rich in 5-HTP, a chemical that can be converted to mood-enhancing serotonin in the body. Verdict: I cracked a can after a long day at work and was impressed. The taste is a close approximation of a craft beer. It was just at the end of each mouthful I noticed a slight lack of the kick you get from alcohol. But I soon felt my shoulders drop. My husband took a pack to a party, got stuck in and said he felt exactly the same twinkly boost he’d get from drinking several pints of beer, but without the fuzzy head the next day. 8/10 Calming cocktail Haelu Salerno Spritz, 4x 250m can starter pack £10.99 (equivalent to £2.75 per can), haeludrinks.com Pronounced ‘hey-loo’ and another brand to emerge from pandemic lockdowns, Haelu makes ready mixed, non-alcoholic, sparkling cocktails in a can. Alongside the bittersweet Salerno Spritz, there’s Havana Heat, aimed at rum drinkers. They contain L-theanine, 5-HTP and ashwagandha, a fashionable stress-busting medicinal herb popular with Hollywood A-listers such as Jennifer Aniston. Verdict: If you’re an Aperol Spritz superfan like me, you’ll love this. In fact, once I’d put it in a fancy glass, added some ice and a slice of orange, I was hard-pressed to tell the difference. Admittedly, I didn’t massively notice the effects of the adaptogens but I conked out quickly in bed. I’ll have two next time 8/10 L-R: Haelu Salerno Spritz, 4x 250m can starter pack £10.99 (equivalent to £2.75 per can), haeludrinks.com; Three Spirit Livener, 50cl bottle, £25, johnlewis.com Let’s get the party started Three Spirit Livener, 50cl bottle, £25, johnlewis.com Launched in 2018, this range of alcohol-free spirits with botanicals and nootropics can be found in UK cocktail bars, John Lewis and Selfridges. You’re encouraged to ‘choose your mood’ — so if you’re winding down, go for Nightcap, with calming lemon balm, valerian and ashwagandha. Livener, meanwhile, contains guayusa, a caffeine alternative from an Amazonian plant, and schisandra, a berry believed to boost physical performance and endurance — ideal when you’re putting on your dancing shoes. Verdict: Once I mixed a 50ml measure of Livener with soda water, ice and a slice, it was impossible to tell this, with its watermelon zing and delicious bitter edge, wasn’t a booze-laden cocktail. After a couple I found myself dancing around the kitchen — not normal behaviour for 11am on a Tuesday. What’s more, the stylish black bottle totally holds its own in my drinks cabinet. 10/10	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12914809/Try-tipples-buzz-no-hangover.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490	2024-01-01T01:48:03Z
Calculating The Fair Value Of Duopharma Biotech Berhad (KLSE:DPHARMA) Key Insights Using the 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity, Duopharma Biotech Berhad fair value estimate is RM1.45 Current share price of RM1.26 suggests Duopharma Biotech Berhad is potentially trading close to its fair value The RM1.48 analyst price target for DPHARMA is 1.6% more than our estimate of fair value Today we'll do a simple run through of a valuation method used to estimate the attractiveness of Duopharma Biotech Berhad (KLSE:DPHARMA) as an investment opportunity by projecting its future cash flows and then discounting them to today's value. The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model is the tool we will apply to do this. Before you think you won't be able to understand it, just read on! It's actually much less complex than you'd imagine. Remember though, that there are many ways to estimate a company's value, and a DCF is just one method. Anyone interested in learning a bit more about intrinsic value should have a read of the Simply Wall St analysis model. View our latest analysis for Duopharma Biotech Berhad What's The Estimated Valuation? We use what is known as a 2-stage model, which simply means we have two different periods of growth rates for the company's cash flows. Generally the first stage is higher growth, and the second stage is a lower growth phase. To start off with, we need to estimate the next ten years of cash flows. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years. Generally we assume that a dollar today is more valuable than a dollar in the future, and so the sum of these future cash flows is then discounted to today's value: 10-year free cash flow (FCF) forecast ("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St) Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = RM492m After calculating the present value of future cash flows in the initial 10-year period, we need to calculate the Terminal Value, which accounts for all future cash flows beyond the first stage. The Gordon Growth formula is used to calculate Terminal Value at a future annual growth rate equal to the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield of 3.6%. We discount the terminal cash flows to today's value at a cost of equity of 9.0%. Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2033 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = RM113m× (1 + 3.6%) ÷ (9.0%– 3.6%) = RM2.1b Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= RM2.1b÷ ( 1 + 9.0%)10= RM905m The total value is the sum of cash flows for the next ten years plus the discounted terminal value, which results in the Total Equity Value, which in this case is RM1.4b. In the final step we divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Relative to the current share price of RM1.3, the company appears about fair value at a 13% discount to where the stock price trades currently. Remember though, that this is just an approximate valuation, and like any complex formula - garbage in, garbage out. Important Assumptions Now the most important inputs to a discounted cash flow are the discount rate, and of course, the actual cash flows. If you don't agree with these result, have a go at the calculation yourself and play with the assumptions. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at Duopharma Biotech Berhad as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 9.0%, which is based on a levered beta of 0.800. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business. SWOT Analysis for Duopharma Biotech Berhad Strength Debt is well covered by earnings. Weakness Earnings declined over the past year. Dividend is low compared to the top 25% of dividend payers in the Pharmaceuticals market. Opportunity Annual earnings are forecast to grow faster than the Malaysian market. Current share price is below our estimate of fair value. Threat Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Paying a dividend but company has no free cash flows. Revenue is forecast to grow slower than 20% per year. Looking Ahead: Whilst important, the DCF calculation shouldn't be the only metric you look at when researching a company. It's not possible to obtain a foolproof valuation with a DCF model. Instead the best use for a DCF model is to test certain assumptions and theories to see if they would lead to the company being undervalued or overvalued. For instance, if the terminal value growth rate is adjusted slightly, it can dramatically alter the overall result. For Duopharma Biotech Berhad, we've put together three additional elements you should consider: Risks: Be aware that Duopharma Biotech Berhad is showing 1 warning sign in our investment analysis , you should know about...

Singapore Rings in 2024 Amidst Dazzling Fireworks and Strict Crowd Control In the heart of Southeast Asia, Singapore greeted 2024 amidst a kaleidoscope of color, as the Marina Bay area became the epicenter of the city’s New Year’s Eve celebrations. The night sky was set ablaze with a stunning display of fireworks, drawing residents and tourists alike to the festive spectacle. Preventing Overcrowding in Marina Bay Given the magnitude of the event, local law enforcement took stringent measures to manage the large crowds. Temporary closures were enforced in various areas around Marina Bay, including the iconic Merlion Park, One Fullerton, Jubilee Bridge, and Youth Olympic Park to regulate footfall and ensure public safety. The Role of Technology in Crowd Management Authorities directed the masses to the CrowdMarinaBay online platform, a digital tool providing real-time updates on crowd situations, advising the public to make informed decisions before joining the festivities. The platform also offered helpful information on nearby transport options, aiding in smooth transit and reducing congestion. (Read Also: Delayed Childbirth in Singapore: A Potential Rise in Premature Births) Train Services and Crowd Flow The Bayfront MRT station temporarily paused its services due to the throng but resumed operations shortly before the stroke of midnight. Crowd flow was further managed by closing specific MRT station entrances and exits, with designated routes out of the area established post-event to prevent overcrowding at specific stations. (Read Also: Public Transport Ridership in Singapore: A Gradual Recovery Amidst Shifts in Commuting Patterns) Public Safety Measures and Advice With public safety paramount, police officers and auxiliary police officers were deployed to regulate the number of people entering designated areas, closing them off once safety capacity thresholds were met. Revelers were advised to stay vigilant, refrain from carrying large amounts of cash or wearing excessive jewelry, and cooperate with security personnel who may conduct bag checks. Apart from Marina Bay, Singaporeans had the option to partake in the festive merriment closer to home, as celebratory fireworks also lit up the sky at seven heartland locations, welcoming the dawn of a new year in a truly spectacular fashion.

Revellers flocked to Bondi Beach on Monday morning to watch the first sunrise of 2024 after the city rung in the new year with a fireworks display on Sydney Harbour at midnight. The shore was packed with people as some continued their night of celebrations by dancing on the sand while others relaxed as they soaked in the first light. Enthusiastic beachgoers also stripped down to their underwear and made a dash across the famous golden sand, before bracing the icy water. Dozens of brave partygoers chose to dive into the waves despite temperatures at Bondi Beach staying at 18C throughout the morning.

Cathie Wood warns GM and Ford electric vehicles slowdown is a mistake—one that will help Tesla and Elon Musk Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood has long been bullish on Elon Musk and Tesla. She’s also been expecting Detroit automakers to follow the path Musk has forged with electric vehicles. “We expected a lot of traditional auto manufacturers to see the writing on the wall and rush as quickly as they could into scaling big-time into electric vehicles,” she told Bloomberg Surveillance this week. Instead, they’ve been decelerating their EV plans, wary of EV growth that—while still strong—has lately slowed. Wood, coming off her best month ever in November after a wobbly stretch, views their decisions as being good for Tesla in the long run. General Motors had planned to build 400,000 EVs over a roughly two-year stretch ending in mid-2024. But in October, it abandoned that target, with CFO Paul Jacobson citing a slowdown in the EV market. Production of the electric pickup trucks Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra in suburban Detroit would be delayed by a year, the company said. This month, Ford said it’s cutting production goals for its signature F-150 Lightning pickup, down from 3,200 to 1,600 per week due to slowing demand. And in November, it restarted work on a EV battery plant, but with scaled-back ambitions, saying it would produce roughly 40% fewer batteries than planned. While EV growth has slowed in recent months, it’s still robust. According to J.D. Power, some 869,000 fully electric vehicles were sold in the U.S. in the first 10 months of 2023—a 56% jump over the year-ago period, but a slowdown from two years earlier. “The narrative has taken over that EVs aren’t growing,” Ford CFO John Lawler said in October. “They’re growing . . . It’s just growing at a slower pace than the industry, and quite frankly, we, expected.” Ford recorded a $1.3 billion loss in its EV division in the third quarter, and has forecast a full-year loss of $4.5 billion for the unit. But such losses are necessary and expected, believes Wood: “Both GM and Ford have said, ‘We're stepping back. We're not going to do this until it's profitable.’ The problem with that is in order to be profitable, they need to scale. That's how this works. These are learning curves that they are writing down, and those are expressed in cost declines." Their hesitation, however, will only benefit Tesla more, she thinks. “The fact that they're pulling back,” she said, “means there's more share for Tesla and others who choose to go for it.” This story was originally featured on Fortune.com	https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cathie-wood-warns-gm-ford-220244486.html	2024-01-01T01:48:10Z

PASADENA, Calif. -- In a sport long defined by its coaching giants, Nick Saban and Jim Harbaugh are among the few larger-than-life figures still standing. Saban has won six national championships at Alabama, establishing the most successful program of the 21st century. Harbaugh has completely revitalized his alma mater, reaching three straight College Football Playoffs at Michigan with style and controversy. They'll face off on opposite sidelines for only the second time Monday in the Rose Bowl. The Crimson Tide (12-1) take on the Wolverines (13-0) in a tantalizing CFP semifinal pitting the two winningest schools in major college football. In no small part because of the coaching matchup, this 110th edition of the Granddaddy of Them All is also one of the most anticipated games in the 10-year history of the playoff, with the winner headed to Houston next week to face Washington or Texas for a title. Yet to varying degrees, Saban and Harbaugh both reflect the truism that the price of incredible success is an inability to enjoy it, at least while it's happening. While both coaches have been gracious throughout their public appearances in Southern California, the magnitude of this showdown clearly weighs on their shoulders. "I don't reminisce much about what's happened in the past," Saban said Sunday before posing stiffly with the Rose Bowl trophy and an equally formal Harbaugh. "I'm kind of looking forward to today, and the next day." After a perfect regular season in which he got to attend only half of the games because of a pair of three-game suspensions, Harbaugh has been his usual exuberant self at the Rose Bowl, whether riding in a horse-drawn carriage at Disneyland or giving a humorous scouting report on Jesus ("He would have been a five-star player, no doubt about it. He would have been a Hall of Fame coach."). But the archetypal Michigan Man also spoke solemnly about the motivation he'll impart to his players. While Harbaugh has achieved his goal to restore the Wolverines as a powerhouse, they have yet to win a CFP game (0-2). "What it means is that your players know what it's like to be a champion," Harbaugh said. "That's the special feeling. Their parents know what it's like to have a son or a brother or a grandson who's a champion. ... It's for all them, and all that we're associated with." Saban has known Harbaugh's family since the 1970s, when Saban was an up-and-coming defensive assistant who got tips from Michigan secondary coach Jack Harbaugh, Jim's dad. They coached against each other in the 2020 Citrus Bowl, with Alabama beating Michigan 35-16 to cap the only season in a seven-year stretch in which the Tide weren't in the playoff. Harbaugh's ballyhooed rebuilding of the Wolverines appeared to be a failure at that point - but after the abbreviated 2020 season, Michigan has soared to a 38-3 record in the past three years. "There were just some really dark days that we had to get through," said Michigan offensive lineman Trevor Keegan, who was there. "After the season, coach Harbaugh sent us a long email saying we're going to change this program together. And our first team meeting, it was either you get on the train and we're moving, or you're getting off. Ever since then, we've been working our tails off to get where we are and have the success that we've had." Alabama hasn't gone more than three seasons between national championships in Saban's 17-year tenure, but the Tide need to win this one to keep the streak alive. Saban is also back at the venerable stadium where he won his first national title for Alabama, beating Texas in 2010. Most observers agree Saban did one of the most impressive coaching jobs of his career this year. After getting two new coordinators in the offseason, Saban revitalized a team that stumbled in September and led it to 11 consecutive wins and an SEC title. "We had some really good rat poison early," Saban said, referring to his preferred name for outside noise. "It was almost like Wheaties, because everybody criticized us and said we weren't any good, and we were done, and Coach Saban is past his prime and all that. It was like eating Wheaties, 'Breakfast of Champions.' That helped us." Behind the excitement is the quiet possibility that this could be the last game at his school for whichever famed coach loses. Saban is 72, and retirement rumors have circulated throughout college football's back channels in recent months. Saban has shrugged it off publicly with humor. "Yeah, I've heard them before," Saban said. "I think when you get my age, everybody is waiting for you to - you know." And with NCAA investigators circling Harbaugh and the Wolverines, few will be surprised if the 60-year-old Harbaugh elects to return to the NFL. If Michigan wins a national title as punctuation, it would make even more sense. The Tide are in the CFP for the eighth time in 10 years, while Michigan has its third consecutive berth. Alabama got here by surviving the Iron Bowl on Jalen Milroe's miraculous touchdown pass to Isaiah Bond on fourth-and-31 before upsetting two-time defending national champion Georgia, which had won 29 straight, in the SEC title game. Michigan steamrolled into the playoff with its first No. 1 ranking since 1997, beating Ohio State in The Game and blanking Iowa in the Big Ten title game. Milroe has grown into the Tide's starting job since getting benched for a week in September, and Michigan must protect against both his arm and his legs. Milroe has a knack for big plays - none bigger than his 31-yard TD pass on fourth down to beat Auburn last month. Leading rusher Jase McClellan is expected back after he missed the SEC title game, while Milroe can throw to big-play receivers Isaiah Bond and Jermaine Burton. J.J. McCarthy is a polished passer who put up 2,630 yards and 19 TDs against four interceptions with a wealth of talented targets, including 500-yard receivers Roman Wilson, tight end Colston Loveland and Cornelius Johnson. Blake Corum is a standout rusher with 1,028 yards and 24 TDs. Michigan is making its 21st Rose Bowl Game appearance, more than any school except USC - but its first since 2007, reflecting the program's struggles before Harbaugh. Alabama hasn't played in a Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena since 1946. Saban's Tide won the 2021 Rose Bowl, which was played in Texas because of COVID-19 safety concerns.	https://abc7.com/rose-bowl-pasadena-alabama-michigan/14252158/	2024-01-01T01:48:12Z

13 most exciting restaurants opening in London this autumn From rotisserie chicken to flashy food halls and €900 premium Japanese beef dinners, there’s a lot happening in the London dining scene over the coming months London is going to be busy this autumn. First of all, expect lots of visitors: This year, there are projected to be 2 million more international tourists than in 2022, bringing in £674 million ($827 million) in revenue, according to Mayor Sadiq Khan’s office. The city’s restaurant scene is looking forward to the influx. Autumn is always the busy season for the hospitality world, as people (mostly) return to the office after summer and the holiday build-up begins. It’s a good time to open a new dining room and have people talk about it. Accordingly, the city has a slew of new places that are throwing open their doors. Some familiar faces are back in action: Jamie Oliver is opening his first new UK restaurant in four years, after his Jamie’s Italian chain went bust in 2019 and he closed more than 20 spots. His new place will be in the heart of Covent Garden, and front and centre on the menu will be food from the British purveyors he highlights. In the next few months, one of London’s most iconic dining rooms, the Wolseley, will recreate its all-day menu in a vast space for the business crowd in the City. There are swanky new options in hotels, like Brooklands on the rooftop of the just-opened Peninsula London, where the decor’s theme is speed (it’s adorned with a model of the Concorde); the menu is also decidedly British. But food from other parts of the globe features at other spots. The beloved Chishuru—and chef Adejoké Bakare’s modern Nigerian menu—has relocated from Brixton to bigger quarters not far from Oxford Street in a space that spotlights the work of designers from around Africa. The most talked-about places, though, will arguably be the ones with Japanese menus. Sushi master Masayoshi Takayama, known worldwide as Masa, is opening his first UK restaurant in Harrods’ newly renovated Food Halls. And Aragawa, an outpost of the revered meat enclave in Tokyo, is bringing its very, very pricey beef to London. Feeling hungry? A few spots below have already opened; the rest are coming soon. Here are this season’s top new spots in London. Chishiru, Fitzrovia Everyone in London flipped out for the West African restaurant from Adejoké Bakare in its original shoebox-sized location in a Brixton food hall. Last October, she closed it to look for new digs. She found them in Covent Garden, where she’s finally re-opened in a richly colored, 60-seat space with a customized light fixture from the South African design studio Mash.T. Bakare’s set menus (£65 at dinner, £35 at lunch) expands on the original featuring dishes like fermented rice cakes (sinasir) with white and brown crab; cod with spiced black sauce (mbongo tchobi); and grilled Hispi cabbage with wild watermelon seed sauce. Bakare’s team mixes pickled okra martinis to start the meal, and alligator pepper-infused eau de vie shots to finish. Open now Llama Inn, Shoreditch At the busy Hoxton hotel, Shoreditch, there’s now opportunity to feast on stellar Peruvian food and drinks. Like the Williamsburg flagship, Llama Inn London has a rooftop location with urban views. On chef Erik Ramirez’s London menu: bright ceviches, like crispy squid with yuca and spicy aji rocoto and lomo saltado—the Peruvian classic of stir-fried steak, served with fries and scallion pancakes. The engaging drink list has pisco, of course, but also cocktails like the gin-based Yayo Hipster, which features olive lemonade. Open now L’Atelier Robuchon, Mayfair This swanky dining spot’s late founder, Joël Robuchon, still has more Michelin stars associated with his name than any other chef. The restaurant, located near Le Deli Robuchon—which gave the world the cube croissant—re-opened in mid-September under the leadership of chef Andrea Cofini. Behind a marble chef’s counter, he and his team are serving classics like quail with foie gras and mashed potatoes that include an outrageous amount of butter. The wine list has a strong selection of Champagnes, and there’s a rotating roster of DJs who provide ambiance in the new bar section. Open now Bébé Bob, Soho Bob Bob Ricard is synonymous with a table-side “press for Champagne” button. Now, a cleverly named sibling joins the family with a different menu than the original’s classic Russian offerings. Bébé Bob will specialize in rotisserie chicken, roasting birds from France and serving them with jus and a handful of sides like sautéed kale and truffle fries. But because this is a Bob Bob spot, there will be the option of caviar and blinis to start. The wine list favors red and white Burgundy; even bottles on the high end of the list aren’t marked up more than £75. Opening: late September Paper Moon London, Westminster The OWO might be making its name around London for the £1.4 billion Raffles London hotel that anchors it—and the Winston Churchill office-turned-high-end suite. But it’s also becoming a destination restaurant complex. World-renowned chef Mauro Colagreco has three places on the property; there’s also an outpost of the fabulous Parisian Café Lapérouse. And then there’s Paper Moon, an extension of the stylish Milan dining spot, on the ground floor of the OWO residences wing. The marble-filled, 100-plus-seat space includes a grand, standing bar with a tree at its centre; there are plans to add outdoor seating. The menu is stocked with dishes like burrata-and-prawn-stuffed ravioli; fritto misto with homemade horseradish mayo; and beef tenderloin with pink peppercorn sauce. Opening: Oct. 2. Brooklands, Belgravia Set on the eighth floor of the just-opened Peninsula hotel, Brooklands has sweeping views of Hyde Park. Sit in the bar and your view will include neighboring Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and St. Paul’s Cathedral. Chef Claude Bosi oversees the kitchen. The food is decidedly British: onions with Exmoor caviar and duck jelly; local guinea hens with Scottish clams and sea beets, and a dessert labeled the Best of the British Apples, adorned with wild meadowsweet flowers. The room’s focal point is a Napier-Railton 1930s race car and a scale model of the Concorde; the fast-moving vehicles pay homage to the Surrey racetrack the place is named for, where speed records were set. Opening: Oct. 4 Solis, Battersea There will be no shortage of roasted chicken in London this fall. It will be front and centre, along with steak, at the unfussy, dark-wood paneled spot Solis in the Battersea Power Station from Ana Gonçalves and Zijun Meng, the couple behind the roving Ta Ta Eatery. The menu is influenced by Spain, Portugal, Argentina and especially Uruguay, with lots of open-fire cooking. To start, there will be deviled eggs with spiced tuna filling. The charred chicken will be served with smoked aji-aji oil. Drinks will include sangria and a South American-focused wine list. Later in the year, Solis will have a new Power Station neighbour, Tashas, the first UK outpost of the stylish South Africa-based chain that is also popular in the United Arab Emirates. In an airy, plant-filled dining room, designed by founder Natasha Sideris with textiles and products from South African designers, the menu will feature the chain’s staples, like lemon butter-dressed chicken with rice, and Dr. Paw Paw, featuring the mango-like fruit with yogurt. Solis opening: Oct. 4. Tashas opening: late fall The Wolseley City, the City When it opens on King William Street, this big-deal spot will be even larger than the iconic Piccadilly one, but similar in grand cafe vibe. The menu is slated to include the same crowd-pleasing dishes as the original, like chicken and wiener schnitzels, shellfish platters and steak tartare. Likewise, there will be breakfast for the back-to-the-office City crowd. The opening marks the 20th anniversary of the first spot; it’s also the second from the Wolseley Hospitality Group since the well-publicized departure of co-founder Jeremy King. Opening: autumn Kolae, Borough Market London’s ever-expanding Thai food scene is sweeping into Borough Market, courtesy of Mark Dobbie and Andy Oliver, the team behind the popular Som Saa restaurant. One of the signature dishes will be grilled chicken, coated in a potent pepper and lemongrass marinade. Also on the menu: seafood and vegetables also cooked over fire; the all-purpose chili sauce nam phrik; and salads enlivened with flavorings that have been freshly crushed with a mortar and pestle. Among the drinks will be cocktails that feature Thai ingredients, as well as about 20 wines, plus beer and ciders. The three-story restaurant will inhabit an old coach house, with outdoor dining in the courtyard. Opening: October Sushi by Masa, Harrods Dining Hall The famed department store is switching up its list of dining options. Gone are Karma by Vineet Bhatia and the Sushi Bar. The new headliners are headed up by a roster of heavy-hitting international chefs. Chef Neha Mishra is opening Kinoya Ramen Bar, an outpost of her wildly popular spot in Dubai. On the menu is a tonkotsu exclusive to Harrods, made with 12-hour pork broth and bacon katsuobushi salt. But the biggest name is undoubtedly Masayoshi Takayama, better known as Masa. He’s opening the first UK location of his legendary NY sushi spot with a long list of sushi by the piece and a £350 omakase that includes 15 pieces of nigiri. You probably don’t want to pair that stellar fish with cocktails, but if you did, there’s selection of them, including the Torri Sunset, a mix of Japanese whisky, elderflower and mandarin purée. Opening: Oct. 7 Aragawa, Mayfair In Tokyo, Aragawa is renowned for the premium beef it’s been serving to guests for half a century. Soon, its well-marbled steaks will arrive in a two-story, 26-seat dining room in London, where it will be cooked simply over binchotancharcoal in a custom-made kiln. The meat is sourced from Tajima cows from the Hyogo prefecture, a region that includes Kobe. (The Kobe beef label is wildly overused; at Aragawa, it’s accurate.) The 1,000-plus bottle list will be stocked with Grand Cru Burgundies and Bordeaux; a wine wall curves through the space putting them on display. The luxury of the beef will come at a price: Meals with wine will start at about £750. Opening: Late October Jamie Oliver Catherine Street, Covent Garden Over the past few years, Jamie Oliver has made news for closing restaurants, not opening them. But now comes his first new UK restaurant in the UK in four years, and the famed chef has chosen to set up shop in the middle of Covent Garden, at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Unsurprisingly, Oliver will highlight British ingredients, sourcing products from local farmers and sustainable seafood purveyors, and feature classic dishes as well as ones created especially for the new restaurant. Running the kitchen is his longtime chef Chris Shail; the pastry will be overseen by Emma Jackson, formerly of Soho Farmhouse. Opening: November Kinkally, Fitzrovia In Georgia, khinkali—meat-filled, artfully twisted dumplings—are a popular local dish. Russian restaurateur Diana Militski wants to make them equally in-demand in London. At her upcoming Charlotte Street spot, she’ll serve them with gourmet stuffings like wagyu with truffles and pheasant with wild mushrooms. Alongside will be other small-plate options like smoked-beet salad with persimmons. Downstairs from the restaurant—which is technically styled Kink(all)y—is Bar Kinky, where the unconventional drinks from bartender Andrew Pruts will include a honey and chocolate-infused Old Fashioned. Opening: November	https://www.businesspost.ie/irish-tatler/13-most-exciting-restaurants-opening-in-london-this-autumn/	2024-01-01T01:48:14Z
The periodic pleasure of small happenings is upon us – behind the stalls at the farmer’s market snow glinting in heaps, a cardinal its chest puffed out, bloodshed above the piles of awnings, passion’s proclivities; you picking up a sweet potato turning to me “This too?” – query of tenderness under the blown red wing. Remember the brazen world? Let’s find a room with a window onto elms strung with sunlight, a cafe with polished cups, darling coffee they call it, may our bed be stoked with fresh cut rosemary and glinting thyme, all herbs in due season tucked under wild sheets: fit for the conjugation of joy.

Tengah Residents in Singapore Face Delays Due to Incomplete Cooling System Installations In the bustling city-state of Singapore, a seemingly routine event—the collection of keys for new flats—has turned into a saga of delays and frustration for residents of Tengah due to an incomplete centralized cooling system. The culprits behind this inconvenience are SP Group, the managers of the ambitious cooling system, and their installation partner, Daikin. The delays have disrupted the plans of residents, such as Julie Tan, who had to postpone her flat renovation for over a fortnight, as the accelerated construction schedule by the Housing Board (HDB) amid Covid-19 delays led to incomplete installations. Unsynchronized Schedules and Unforeseen Delays According to SP Group, the key collection dates set by HDB did not align with their installation schedule. The misalignment resulted in the installation of the fan coil units (FCUs) by Daikin lagging behind the key collection dates. The misstep has affected several residents, who had to wait for an additional four weeks after receiving their keys for the completion of the cooling system installation. SP Group and Daikin have waived usage charges during this additional installation period as a gesture of goodwill. Frustration Among Affected Residents However, the delays and additional installation period have been a cause of concern and frustration for the residents. Some residents, such as Mr. Chiam, faced further inconvenience when they were informed about the delay only after the key collection. The lack of prior notification prompted Mr. Chiam to opt out of the system, leading to a cancellation fee. This has added to the woes of the residents who were eagerly awaiting their move into the new flats. Cooling System’s Performance Under Scrutiny Beyond the delays and unexpected charges, the performance of the cooling system has also come under scrutiny. Residents raised concerns about the higher-than-expected chilled water usage rate. A petition in November led to SP Group waiving the charges until December 31 and agreeing to a rate reduction from January 1, with a commitment to review the rate quarterly. Despite these issues, as of December 17, keys for approximately 56% of the units in the first three Build To Order projects in Tengah have been collected.

New Year's Eve Melbourne: Woman risks losing her eye after she is hit by an illegal firework - Woman was celebrating New Year's Eve on a beach - The 48-year-old suffered 'very serious' facial injuries - READ MORE: Wild scenes on New Year's Eve as Sydney is hit with travel chaos and Gold Coast revellers take things a little too far A woman could lose her eye after she was hit in the face by a firework while on a Melbourne beach celebrating the new year. She was at Altona beach 13km south-west of Melbourne's CBD when the illegal firework was lit just after midnight on Monday. The 48-year-old suffered 'very, very serious' facial injuries, mainly to her eye, and was taken to hospital. A 20-year-old man from Truganina, 22km west of Melbourne's CBD, was arrested at the scene and was later released pending further inquiries. Speaking on Monday morning, Victoria's Police Assistant Commissioner Michael Grainger said there were 'a number of fireworks incidents that resulted in some really serious injuries'. A woman could lose her eye after she was hit in the face by a firework while on a Melbourne beach celebrating the new year. A firework is pictured 'There were a total of 57 illegal fireworks incidents across Victoria overnight and they all varied in severity, but three were particularly concerning. 'We had a 48-year-old woman at Altona receiving very, very serious facial injuries. 'An illicit firework exploded and she may lose an eye,' he said. In another serious firework incident, a 57-year-old woman was taken to hospital after a flare hit a window of her home in Tootgarook on the Mornington Peninsula, 62km south of Melbourne. Police allege neighbours set off flares and the woman was injured when she tried to remove the flare to protect her house. 'There was also a terribly serious fire at a house in Mill Park where at least 15 people have been injured and a number conveyed to hospital and treated for serious injuries,' Assistant Commissioner Grainger said. The cause of the Mill Park fire is not known, but is not thought to be suspicious. Anyone with information on any of the incidents is urged to contact police.

Diversified United Investment Insider Ups Holding By 48% During Year From what we can see, insiders were net buyers in Diversified United Investment Limited's (ASX:DUI ) during the past 12 months. That is, insiders acquired the stock in greater numbers than they sold it. While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. View our latest analysis for Diversified United Investment Diversified United Investment Insider Transactions Over The Last Year Notably, that recent purchase by Andrew Sisson is the biggest insider purchase of Diversified United Investment shares that we've seen in the last year. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is AU$5.03. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. While we always like to see insider buying, it's less meaningful if the purchases were made at much lower prices, as the opportunity they saw may have passed. In this case we're pleased to report that the insider bought shares at close to current prices. The only individual insider to buy over the last year was Andrew Sisson. You can see a visual depiction of insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last 12 months, below. If you want to know exactly who sold, for how much, and when, simply click on the graph below! Diversified United Investment is not the only stock that insiders are buying. For those who like to find winning investments this free list of growing companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket. Insider Ownership I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. It appears that Diversified United Investment insiders own 4.7% of the company, worth about AU$52m. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders. So What Do The Diversified United Investment Insider Transactions Indicate? It's certainly positive to see the recent insider purchase. And an analysis of the transactions over the last year also gives us confidence. Given that insiders also own a fair bit of Diversified United Investment we think they are probably pretty confident of a bright future. I like to dive deeper into how a company has performed in the past. You can find historic revenue and earnings in this detailed graph. But note: Diversified United Investment may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with high ROE and low debt.

CHENNAI: After Cyclone Michaung, questions that dominate discussions among the flood-hit residents are: Why did an area get marooned? What are the problems affecting water discharge in those localities and what are the solutions? To address these questions, anti-graft organisation Arappor Iyakkam held a citizen-led flood audit on Saturday. Close to 50 residents from Virugambakkam, Manapakkam, Tambaram, Porur, Thiruvanmiyur, Neelankarai, Perambur, Red Hills, T Nagar and Perumbakkam got together at the NGO's office in Nungambakkam to share their experiences of the recent floods. Kingsley David, a Chinmaya Nagar resident, said: “I have been living in Chinmaya Nagar since 1970s. There was a lake in Virugambakkam then. Now, the lake has been encroached upon. Virugambakkam canal used to carry the lake surplus into Cooum. Now, there is no lake, and the canal's width has reduced, leading to floods.” The corporation and other departments are building more stormwater drains in the city and suburbs. “If they are building so many drains, then why are they not calculating how much space canals must have to drain the water into the rivers or Buckingham canal? Without desilting or deepening, the canals may be inept to carry more water,” said Haris Sultan, an Arappor volunteer. So what is next? Citizens will note down details of flooded roads and the water stagnation depth, number of days taken for the water to recede and possible solutions to make water drain faster. “All of this will be compiled in a report and presented in Valluvar Kottam to the public on February 4. We will invite government officials to the event,” said Jayaram Venkatesan, convenor, Arappor Iyakkam. The NGO published a similar citizen-led flood audit report in 2016, covering areas such as Mugalivakkam, Villivakkam and Pallikaranai. By June 2024, the NGO plans to publish a detailed flood-audit report of suburbs and upstream areas and policy suggestions to reduce flood impact in future.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/arappor-iyakkam-conducts-citizen-led-flood-audit-in-chennai/articleshow/106412738.cms	2024-01-01T01:48:20Z

Cape Town Couple Defrauded in Home Renovation Nightmare In the quiet neighborhood of Grassy Park, Cape Town, a dream home renovation turned nightmare for Zeenith and Gerry Maart. The couple entrusted their hard-earned savings to building contractor, Redoh Kimmie, only to be left with an incomplete home and a significant financial setback. This unfortunate event unfolded after Kimmie allegedly absconded with nearly half a million rand of the Maart’s money, leaving a substantial portion of their home renovation unfinished. Online Search, Trust, and Broken Promises The Maarts’ journey began with a simple online search for a reputable contractor to modernize their home. Their project had ambitious goals: updating four bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom, a kitchen, and adding a separate entrance, all in time for the 2023 holidays. Redoh Kimmie, who initially appeared reputable, was hired for the task. The agreement was set at around R500,000, with the Maarts conscientiously paying 50% upfront for materials and weekly labor costs. An Abrupt Halt to Home Renovation Work progressed until August, with three rooms and the separate entrance nearing completion. However, the rest of the house remained unfinished despite payments exceeding R400,000. The Maarts were left with no choice but to hire another contractor to rectify some of Kimmie’s incomplete work, particularly in the kitchen. Kimmie briefly sent workers back in September, but they reported not being paid, and soon after, all communication ceased. Kimmie even went as far as blocking the couple on WhatsApp. Legal Recourse and a Cautionary Tale Having been left in the lurch, the Maarts are now taking legal action. Their goal is not only to seek justice for their own financial loss but also to warn others about the risks involved in hiring contractors like Kimmie. Despite the allegations, Kimmie has refrained from commenting. He cites the advice of an attorney friend and issues with the clients, including alleged refusal to pay for certain aspects of the work, as reasons for his silence.

Dave Chappelle storms off stage after a fan takes out a cell phone during gig at a Hard Rock Live in Florida... ahead of release of his latest Netflix special The Dreamer Dave Chappelle reportedly stormed off the stage on Wednesday after a fan pulled out his cell phone. The comedian, 50, who had audience members walk out on performances in October when he charged Israel with 'war crimes,' was performing at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida when he made his own abrupt exit. The comic was on the second of a five-night gig at the venue when he apparently caught a fan using his phone. The Miami Herald reported the Emmy winner notified security about the flagrant flouting of the rules and scolded the audience before shaking his head as he exited the stage. Fans forked out $100 a ticket to see the Chappelle's Show star perform at the venue, which holds up to 7,000 people, located about 20 miles north of Miami Beach. Dave Chappelle, 50, stormed off stage after a fan pulled out a cell phone during his show Wednesday at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL (Pictured in Washington, DC in June 2022) Those in the audience did not take kindly the to incident and shared their fury on social media. 'Few things make you more misanthropic than going to a theater,' they began. 'I saw Dave Chappelle at the Hard Rock tonight and he (rightfully so) dropped the mic and stormed off the stage. My favorite comedian ever, my first time seeing him I was so excited and some ps had to self-insert,' one fan contended. Another was more direct in their condemnation writing, 'Some fking a**hole pulled out his phone at the #DaveChappelle show at the Hollywood Hard Rock.' The rules for the evening were stipulated clearly. Fans were supposed to place their phones in a neoprene pouch before entering the theater. The Hard Rock Live's website stated that the show would be 'device and electronics free, per the artist’s request.' And before the show began, DJ Trauma, who provided the on-stage introductions for Chappelle, warned audience members phones were not allowed and they would be kicked out if caught using them, according to Fox 29. The Undercover Brother star is one of the biggest draws in comedy and is not shy about creating his own controversy when tackling certain topics. The Miami Herald reported the Emmy winner notified security about the flagrant flouting of the rules and scolded the audience before shaking his head as he exited the stage. Audience members had paid $100 per ticket to attend the show Fans who were deprived of the full show last week, might be able to see what they missed with Chappelle's new Netflix special The Dreamer, which debuted December 31 The special was shot at the Lincoln Theater in Washington, DC Chappelle, who is known for making controversial jokes goes after the trans community and the disabled in his new show, telling the audience, 'they’re not as organized as the gays. And I love punching down' He has been widely criticized in recent years for a steady stream of jokes involving transgender people, which many critics have labeled transphobic. In his 2017 Netflix special, he spoke about pitching a movie idea to a Hollywood producer about a superhero who gets his power via raping women. Other critics have complained that some of his recent stand-up specials have featured long digressions that played more like airing of grievances than comedic routines. Fans, who were deprived of the full show last week, might be able to see what they missed with Chappelle's new Netflix special The Dreamer, which debuted December 31. During the show, which was shot the Lincoln Theater in Washington, DC, he makes jokes not only about the trans community, but the disabled as well saying, 'they’re not as organized as the gays.

With EPS Growth And More, Emico Holdings Berhad (KLSE:EMICO) Makes An Interesting Case It's common for many investors, especially those who are inexperienced, to buy shares in companies with a good story even if these companies are loss-making. But the reality is that when a company loses money each year, for long enough, its investors will usually take their share of those losses. A loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the inflow of external capital may dry up. Despite being in the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, many investors still adopt a more traditional strategy; buying shares in profitable companies like Emico Holdings Berhad (KLSE:EMICO). While profit isn't the sole metric that should be considered when investing, it's worth recognising businesses that can consistently produce it. Check out our latest analysis for Emico Holdings Berhad Emico Holdings Berhad's Improving Profits Over the last three years, Emico Holdings Berhad has grown earnings per share (EPS) at as impressive rate from a relatively low point, resulting in a three year percentage growth rate that isn't particularly indicative of expected future performance. As a result, we'll zoom in on growth over the last year, instead. To the delight of shareholders, Emico Holdings Berhad's EPS soared from RM0.014 to RM0.018, over the last year. That's a impressive gain of 29%. It's often helpful to take a look at earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins, as well as revenue growth, to get another take on the quality of the company's growth. The music to the ears of Emico Holdings Berhad shareholders is that EBIT margins have grown from 7.5% to 16% in the last 12 months and revenues are on an upwards trend as well. Ticking those two boxes is a good sign of growth, in our book. You can take a look at the company's revenue and earnings growth trend, in the chart below. Click on the chart to see the exact numbers. Emico Holdings Berhad isn't a huge company, given its market capitalisation of RM42m. That makes it extra important to check on its balance sheet strength. Are Emico Holdings Berhad Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders? Seeing insiders owning a large portion of the shares on issue is often a good sign. Their incentives will be aligned with the investors and there's less of a probability in a sudden sell-off that would impact the share price. So those who are interested in Emico Holdings Berhad will be delighted to know that insiders have shown their belief, holding a large proportion of the company's shares. To be exact, company insiders hold 61% of the company, so their decisions have a significant impact on their investments. This should be seen as a good thing, as it means insiders have a personal interest in delivering the best outcomes for shareholders. Although, with Emico Holdings Berhad being valued at RM42m, this is a small company we're talking about. So this large proportion of shares owned by insiders only amounts to RM26m. That might not be a huge sum but it should be enough to keep insiders motivated! Is Emico Holdings Berhad Worth Keeping An Eye On? If you believe that share price follows earnings per share you should definitely be delving further into Emico Holdings Berhad's strong EPS growth. This EPS growth rate is something the company should be proud of, and so it's no surprise that insiders are holding on to a considerable chunk of shares. Fast growth and confident insiders should be enough to warrant further research, so it would seem that it's a good stock to follow. Before you take the next step you should know about the 2 warning signs for Emico Holdings Berhad (1 can't be ignored!) that we have uncovered. While opting for stocks without growing earnings and absent insider buying can yield results, for investors valuing these key metrics, here is a carefully selected list of companies in MY with promising growth potential and insider confidence.

CHENNAI: Four days after a 17-year-old Class XII student went missing, police have found he was murdered. Police arrested L David, 28, from MGR Nagar and booked him for kidnap, murder and causing disappearance of evidence. A hunt is on for M Saravanan, 28, a history-sheeter . Police said the juvenile may have been killed to take revenge on his cousin who has an enmity with the history-sheeter over selling narcotics. L Ajay of MGR Nagar went to play on December 26 and did not return. His father G Loganathan lodged a complaint. "The next day he received a call from the accused who said they had kidnapped Ajay and demanded that he return the money owed by Ajay's cousin Kannabiran," said police. On December 29, police nabbed David, who said Kannabiran used to buy painkiller tablets from him and Saravaran, and sell through a few schoolboys, including Ajay. As Kannabiran did not pay, David and Saravanan picked up Ajay. He said Ajay jumped off a water tank to escape but broke his legs. David and Saravanan chased him and hacked him with a machete. They dumped his body underneath a tarpaulin sheet and fled.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/boy-kidnapped-killed-over-drug-sale-one-held/articleshow/106411739.cms	2024-01-01T01:48:26Z

Former England captain Sol Campbell is 'being sued for £810k after pulling out of buying £3.85m London flat' in Cadogan Square - Sol Campbell is 'being sued for £810k after pulling out of buying a London flat' - He and his partner had 'signed a contract' to buy the £3.85m property - Chris Sutton and Ian Ladyman give their best sporting moments of the year on It's All Kicking Off Sol Campbell is 'being sued for £810,000' after 'pulling out of buying a £3.85million flat' in London, according to The Sun. The outlet claims that the former England captain and his partner, Fiona, had 'put a ten percent deposit of £387,500 down' on the apartment which is reportedly located in Cadogan Square, in Knightsbridge. The owner of the property, Lady Jadranka Beresford-Peirse, had reportedly said that the pair had 'signed a contract to purchase the flat in 2021' but have not paid the outstanding balance. She has, according to The Sun, now lodged papers to the High Court and is seeking more than £800k in losses. The news outlet states that Lady Jadranka has 'accused them of a breach of contract after failing to pay the outstanding balance on the apartment'. She is also reportedly 'seeking an order for the pair to buy the flat and pay her compensation'. Former England captain Sol Campbell is reportedly 'being sued for £810,000' after 'pulling out of buying a flat' in London The apartment is situated in Cadogan Square and is reportedly worth £3.85million Back in 2021, Mail Online had reported that Campbell, who won 73 caps for England, had put his eight-bed Grade II-listed Chelsea townhouse up for sale for £24m. It is also understood that he knocked £4m off the price of the property in 2022. Campbell enjoyed a glittering career as a player, winning the Premier Leauge twice with Arsenal, and would retire from professional football in 2011, after spells with Tottenham, Arsenal, Portsmouth, Notts County and Newcastle. The owner of the flat has reportedly accused the ex-Arsenal star of a 'breach of contract' After hanging up his boots, he would go into coaching, taking up the assistant manager's position with the Trinidad national team alongside head coach Dennis Lawrence. He would subsequently go on to be appointed manager of Macclesfield and more recently Southend United. Campbell married interior designer Fiona Barratt, the granddaughter of Sir Lawrie ‘Brickie’ Barratt, the founder of Barratt Homes.	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12915471/Former-England-captain-Sol-Campbell-sued-810k-pulling-buying-3-85m-London-flat-Cadogan-Square.html	2024-01-01T01:48:29Z
Fake News Media Outlets Cut a Record-Breaking 2,700 Jobs in 2023, With More Losses Predicted for 2024 December 31, 2023 \| Tags: LIBERTY DAILY (Natural News)—A study has found that news media outlets have slashed at least 2,700 jobs in 2023. Data from outplacement firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas has revealed that media companies overall have made 20,324 cuts so far in 2023, the highest year-to-date total since 2020. In recent weeks, Conde Nast, the Washington Post, Yahoo News, Vox Media and other news outlets have made significant reductions in their workforces. Popular Science, a storied science and technology magazine that has won many awards, has ceased its print edition. To ensure continued printing, other publications such as BusinessWeek and The Nation reduced production and have become monthly magazines. Overall, many media companies have shed thousands of employees in recent weeks amid what many used to consider “the most wonderful time of the year.” The outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas has reported that many news outlets have cut nearly 2,700 jobs this year, the highest number of job cuts in the industry since 2020, the turbulent year that saw the whole world thrown into chaos by the global Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. (Related: Recession fears surge as new job creation slows down, jobless claims rise.) Challenger, Gray & Christmas data also revealed in the “news” subcategory the firm tracks, at least 2,681 jobs have been cut, including those in broadcast, digital and print. That total exceeded the 1,808 cuts announced during 2022 and 1,511 announced the year before. Many major media companies have announced efforts to trim staff and reduce costs to survive a tough advertising market and general news fatigue by consumers. For example, the Washington Post aims to cut at least 240 jobs from its newsroom before the end of the year. Companies like Conde Nast and Vox have also implemented or announced major staff reductions. Economy is resilient, but terminations are the norm for publishers Even though the U.S. economy has been resilient, the unwelcome job cuts come during a rather challenging business climate for publishers, which have continued to see significant declines in social media traffic, which used to be the lifeblood of digital media publications, along with a very demanding advertising market and changing audience habits. The cuts also come at an unfortunate period, especially given the state of the information environment and alleged threats to U.S. democracy. The Left claims that at a time when anti-democratic candidates are trying to seize power in election contests throughout the country, newsrooms are seeing their reach and staffing shrink, if not go belly up entirely. According to Left, this lack of accountability implies that the dishonest figures seeking higher office will face less scrutiny and leave the electorate less informed. Margaret Sullivan, a columnist at the Guardian who previously wrote about media for the Washington Post and the New York Times, said she was concerned about the bigger consequences the job losses in the news business will have on the country. Sullivan said the loss of journalists “contributes to the exponential growth of news deserts in large swaths of the nation — and that’s disastrous when misinformation is rampant.” She concluded that democracy requires “an informed electorate in order to function and that is tragically dwindling in many regions.” Visit MarketCrash.news for similar stories about job losses in other industries.

Estimating The Intrinsic Value Of ALS Limited (ASX:ALQ) Key Insights Using the 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity, ALS fair value estimate is AU$12.72 ALS' AU$12.85 share price indicates it is trading at similar levels as its fair value estimate Our fair value estimate is similar to ALS' analyst price target of AU$12.63 How far off is ALS Limited (ASX:ALQ) from its intrinsic value? Using the most recent financial data, we'll take a look at whether the stock is fairly priced by taking the forecast future cash flows of the company and discounting them back to today's value. This will be done using the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. There's really not all that much to it, even though it might appear quite complex. Remember though, that there are many ways to estimate a company's value, and a DCF is just one method. If you want to learn more about discounted cash flow, the rationale behind this calculation can be read in detail in the Simply Wall St analysis model. See our latest analysis for ALS The Calculation We use what is known as a 2-stage model, which simply means we have two different periods of growth rates for the company's cash flows. Generally the first stage is higher growth, and the second stage is a lower growth phase. To begin with, we have to get estimates of the next ten years of cash flows. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years. Generally we assume that a dollar today is more valuable than a dollar in the future, so we discount the value of these future cash flows to their estimated value in today's dollars: 10-year free cash flow (FCF) forecast ("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St) Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = AU$2.3b After calculating the present value of future cash flows in the initial 10-year period, we need to calculate the Terminal Value, which accounts for all future cash flows beyond the first stage. For a number of reasons a very conservative growth rate is used that cannot exceed that of a country's GDP growth. In this case we have used the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield (2.1%) to estimate future growth. In the same way as with the 10-year 'growth' period, we discount future cash flows to today's value, using a cost of equity of 7.0%. Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2033 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = AU$365m× (1 + 2.1%) ÷ (7.0%– 2.1%) = AU$7.6b Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= AU$7.6b÷ ( 1 + 7.0%)10= AU$3.9b The total value, or equity value, is then the sum of the present value of the future cash flows, which in this case is AU$6.2b. In the final step we divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Relative to the current share price of AU$12.9, the company appears around fair value at the time of writing. Valuations are imprecise instruments though, rather like a telescope - move a few degrees and end up in a different galaxy. Do keep this in mind. The Assumptions The calculation above is very dependent on two assumptions. The first is the discount rate and the other is the cash flows. You don't have to agree with these inputs, I recommend redoing the calculations yourself and playing with them. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at ALS as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 7.0%, which is based on a levered beta of 0.981. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business. SWOT Analysis for ALS Strength Debt is well covered by earnings and cashflows. Dividends are covered by earnings and cash flows. Weakness Earnings growth over the past year underperformed the Professional Services industry. Dividend is low compared to the top 25% of dividend payers in the Professional Services market. Expensive based on P/E ratio and estimated fair value. Opportunity Annual revenue is forecast to grow faster than the Australian market. Threat Annual earnings are forecast to grow slower than the Australian market. Looking Ahead: Valuation is only one side of the coin in terms of building your investment thesis, and it ideally won't be the sole piece of analysis you scrutinize for a company. DCF models are not the be-all and end-all of investment valuation. Instead the best use for a DCF model is to test certain assumptions and theories to see if they would lead to the company being undervalued or overvalued. If a company grows at a different rate, or if its cost of equity or risk free rate changes sharply, the output can look very different.

Port St Johns Municipality Strengthens Beach Safety Ahead of Festive Season In the bustling town of Port St Johns, where the ocean’s symphony is a daily soundtrack, the anticipation of the festive season has been met with a proactive stance towards safety. The local Municipality, in a collaborative effort with the Social Development department and the South African Police Service (SAPS), has established a committee focused on bolstering security measures at the town’s beloved beaches. This initiative is a testament to the Municipality’s dedication to ensuring the safety and well-being of both residents and visitors during a time that traditionally witnesses a surge in beach activity. Addressing Potential Safety Concerns With the influx of tourists and the festive atmosphere, potential safety concerns inevitably arise. The formation of this committee is a direct response to these concerns, underlining the intention to create an environment where everyone can appreciate the beaches without the looming fear of accidents or crime. Emphasis on Law Enforcement and Crime Prevention The inclusion of SAPS in this committee underscores a firm emphasis on law enforcement and crime prevention. The presence of trained law enforcement officers is expected to act as a deterrent to any unlawful activities, ensuring that beachgoers can enjoy their time without any disruptions. Beach Safety on a National Scale Meanwhile, in the City of Cape Town, warnings have been issued to the public about stronger rip currents and larger sea swells due to the full moon’s arrival. Tragic incidents, including a mass rescue at Monwabisi Beach and four fatal drownings since December 1, have underscored the importance of such safety measures. In a similar vein, the Identikidz project, which aims at promoting child safety at beaches, has already tagged over 48,000 children since mid-December, indicating a nationwide commitment to beach safety.

REVEALED - Europe's top sides by points in 2023: Man City are No 1 while a surprise English team go toe-to-toe with Real Madrid and Italian giants climb into top five - Real Madrid were matched by a surprise team while Man City were 2023's best - Beyond Europe's elite, Wrexham deserve special mention for earning 104 points - Chris Sutton and Ian Ladyman give their best sporting moments of the year on It's All Kicking Off Manchester City earned the most points of any team in Europe's top five leagues in 2023, to nobody's surprise. Pep Guardiola and his troops earned 93 points from 39 games in the last calendar year as they claimed a third consecutive Premier League title. His alma mater, Barcelona, were joint-second alongside Atletico Madrid on 88 points earned. Xavi's side stormed to a first LaLiga title after four years of frustration while Simeone's finished in a commendable third, where they rank so far this campaign as well. The stats for 2023 were compiled by Squawka, and some of the teams that follow are surprising. Manchester City earned more points (93) than any team in Europe's top five leagues in 2023 Barcelona and Atletico Madrid were joint-second with 88 points and will hope to translate their domestic success to the Champions League Inter Milan were next on 87 points, and at first glance you wouldn't think they had picked up so many. While they top the Serie A standings at the moment, it wasn't plain sailing last season as they stuttered to third. The Champions League finalists even went on one rocky run between February and April when they lost six games out of eight in Serie A, only winning once. Sitting behind the Milanese maestros were 14-time Champions League winners and a Midlands outfit who only disposed of Steven Gerrard two months before the year began. That's right, Real Madrid and Aston Villa were level in joint-fifth on 85 points. Unai Emery has inspired a revolution at Aston Villa, earning as many points with them in 2023 as Real Madrid did in LaLiga Are Juventus returning as a European heavyweight? They had lost their way in recent seasons but earned 84 points in 2023 Unai Emery has worked miracles at Villa Park to haul them up to heady Los Blancos heights and position them as Premier League challengers. His achievement is all the more remarkable when you consider that Aston Villa only finished 12th in the Premier League's annual table for 2022 with 41 points - less than half their tally for 2023. In seventh, Juventus earned 84 points as the Old Lady rolled back the years to become Serie A contenders once more under Massimiliano Allegri. Allegri, who led the Turin-based behemoths to five consecutive titles in his first spell at the club, has rejuvenated them with fresh inspiration this season. It looked as if he could lose his job last term as they shambled to seventh place in Serie A, their lowest finish since 2011. However, he has them firing on all cylinders this season and they are embroiled in their first title scrap since 2020, just two points behind leaders Inter. Spare a thought for Wrexham, whose lower-league status means they miss out on this list despite blowing away their opposition with a staggering 104 points. Wrexham enjoyed a head-spinning 2023 with a 104-point haul in the National League and League Two down the English football pyramid Fuelled by Hollywood pizzazz and the wisened head of Phil Parkinson, Wrexham blitzed to the National League title with a record 111 points and are third in League Two. Meanwhile, Harry Kane's Bayern Munich could have been up there but only managed 75 points on account of the Bundesliga having four fewer games per season. Napoli are perhaps a surprise omission. They won Serie A with 90 points, 18 more tha Inter and 28 more than Juventus, but only claimed 77 in 2023. Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain led the way in France with 81 points but may be disappointed with that haul considering the often-assumed weaker opposition in Ligue 1.	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12915485/Europe-Man-City-Real-Madrid.html	2024-01-01T01:48:35Z
I Grew Up With Frugal Parents: 7 Valuable Lessons They Taught Me About Saving Money Growing up with frugal parents, I was often the kid who was teased for having secondhand clothes, not going on vacations, and bringing generic-branded food to school. However, now that I am an adult, I am very thankful for the valuable lessons my parents taught me about saving. Read: 12 Expensive-Looking Gifts from Dollar Tree Learn: 3 Things You Must Do When Your Savings Reach $50,000 It has shaped my views on money, spending, saving, and finances in general. While many of my friends have struggled with debt or excessive consumerism, I have never had to face these issues. Sponsored: Get Paid To Scroll. Start Now Distinguishing Needs From Wants Growing up with frugal parents taught me the valuable skill of distinguishing between my needs and wants. While my friends were often caught up in the latest trends and fads, my parents refused to buy every item I asked for. Instead, they emphasized the importance of prioritizing needs, like a new winter coat, over wants, like the newest toy. This is something that I have carried through to my adulthood. Now, I try to focus on essential expenses and cut back on frivolous spending. This has helped me make informed financial decisions and avoid unnecessary debt. How To Survive on $500 a Month: A Frugal Living Guide How To Budget I also learned how to budget and the importance of budgeting. I observed my parents tracking what they spent and saved as a child. They were careful not to spend more than they could afford. If they had a goal, they saved towards it. This early exposure to budgeting taught me how to set my own clear financial goals and how to allocate resources according to those goals. “Children in frugal households witness budgeting as a regular activity,” said Jake Claver, CEO of Syndicately. “This exposure naturally ingratiates the concept of budgeting in their daily lives. It becomes less of a chore and more of an integral part of their financial routine. By learning to allocate resources and plan expenses from a young age, children are better equipped to manage their finances effectively as adults.” Delayed Gratification Delayed gratification is a lesson I was more reluctant to learn as a child but one I am now thankful for as an adult. When there was something that I wanted to buy, my parents encouraged me to wait and to think about the purchase and what it would mean in terms of longevity, monetary value, and the value I placed on the item. They then encouraged me to save my money and if I still wanted to purchase the item later, I could. This lesson has played an important role in resisting today’s instant gratification culture. Whether saving for a significant purchase or planning for the future, the ability to delay gratification has been very helpful to me as an adult. Michael Lynch, CPA and founder of OurCampfireUnplugged.com, also teaches his kids the power of delayed gratification. “Saving money isn’t about saying ‘no’ – it’s about saying ‘not yet.’ We encourage our kids to save for something they really want. It’s like planting a seed and watching it grow” Have an Emergency Fund as a Financial Safety Net While my parents were frugal in their spending, they were not frugal about saving, especially when it came to having an emergency fund. Life is unpredictable, and unexpected expenses will arise eventually. Having a cushion to fall back on can provide peace of mind. Having an emergency fund has also helped me avoid having to go into debt. Instead of having to put unexpected expenses on a credit card and paying interest, I used the money in my emergency fund when I needed it. “Saving is often a central theme in frugal households,” said Claver. “Children learn early on that saving money isn’t just about putting aside a portion of their allowance or earnings; it’s about building a secure financial future. This lesson is pivotal, especially in today’s world where instant gratification is rampant. Understanding the power of compound interest and the security of an emergency fund are key lessons that benefit them throughout their lives.” Shop Secondhand When Possible There can be some stigma around buying secondhand items, especially when all of your friends get brand-new clothes and toys as a kid. However, my parents always shopped in thrift stores and other secondhand shops. Even though I might have resented it as a kid, I now appreciate the appeal of shopping secondhand. Plus, buying secondhand is better for the environment. I create less waste and save money. It is a win-win for me. Avoid Debt My parents viewed debt as something that stood in the way of financial freedom. They always tried not to spend more than they earned. They didn’t even use credit cards and paid for everything in cash. While I use credit cards responsibly as an adult today, I follow their advice when it comes to avoiding debt if possible. Negotiate When Possible Negotiation can be intimidating to many people. Thankfully, I learned how to negotiate from watching my parents do it frequently growing up. They would often bargain for a better price on an item, especially when they felt that they were being overcharged. It didn’t always work, but oftentimes it did. Whenever the opportunity arises, I try to negotiate in a polite and respectful manner. The Bottom Line Growing up with frugal parents was a gift, even if I didn’t see it at the time. The lessons they taught me about prioritizing needs over wants, budgeting, delayed gratification, having an emergency fund, shopping secondhand, avoiding debt, and negotiating have shaped my financial philosophy. My parents’ lessons have allowed me to survive and even thrive financially.

UDHAGAMANDALAM: Three days after a chartered helicopter flew over the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) and the protected area of Mukurthi National Park in the Nilgiris, the state forest department has decided to write to the directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA), asking it to avoid the forest and protected areas in Tamil Nadu while designating paths for choppers and flights. On December 27, a chopper that took off from Mysuru had flown over MTR and Mukurthi National Park before it made a landing at Korakundha estate in the Nilgiris. Later, the chopper carrying the estate officials left for Coimbatore airport. When contacted, Srinivas R Reddy, principal chief conservator of forests and chief wildlife warden of Tamil Nadu, told TOI, "The forest department does not have any control over the flight paths. We can only register our objection to the directorate general of civil aviation, asking it not to allow flights over the protected areas." He said the operation of flights/helicopters at a lower level over the forests and protected areas would cause a disturbance to the birds and wild animals in the locality. A wildlife activist, on condition of anonymity, said the chopper could not have flown over MTR and Mukurthi peak without passing over Bandipur Tiger Reserve and other forest areas in Karnataka. "Because, the landscape is such that the Bandipur and Mudumalai reserves share a single stretch. When PM Modi came to MTR in April, his chopper had also flown over Mukurthi peak." An aviation expert in Karnataka told TOI that pilots were not allowed to deviate from a path designated to the chopper by the directorate general of civil aviation.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/forest-dept-objects-to-operating-flights-over-protected-areas/articleshow/106414828.cms	2024-01-01T01:48:38Z
Here's Why We're Not Too Worried About BrainChip Holdings' (ASX:BRN) Cash Burn Situation Just because a business does not make any money, does not mean that the stock will go down. For example, although software-as-a-service business Salesforce.com lost money for years while it grew recurring revenue, if you held shares since 2005, you'd have done very well indeed. But the harsh reality is that very many loss making companies burn through all their cash and go bankrupt. So, the natural question for BrainChip Holdings (ASX:BRN) shareholders is whether they should be concerned by its rate of cash burn. For the purposes of this article, cash burn is the annual rate at which an unprofitable company spends cash to fund its growth; its negative free cash flow. First, we'll determine its cash runway by comparing its cash burn with its cash reserves. View our latest analysis for BrainChip Holdings Does BrainChip Holdings Have A Long Cash Runway? A cash runway is defined as the length of time it would take a company to run out of money if it kept spending at its current rate of cash burn. As at June 2023, BrainChip Holdings had cash of US$22m and no debt. Importantly, its cash burn was US$16m over the trailing twelve months. So it had a cash runway of approximately 16 months from June 2023. That's not too bad, but it's fair to say the end of the cash runway is in sight, unless cash burn reduces drastically. You can see how its cash balance has changed over time in the image below. How Is BrainChip Holdings' Cash Burn Changing Over Time? In our view, BrainChip Holdings doesn't yet produce significant amounts of operating revenue, since it reported just US$356k in the last twelve months. Therefore, for the purposes of this analysis we'll focus on how the cash burn is tracking. With the cash burn rate up 3.8% in the last year, it seems that the company is ratcheting up investment in the business over time. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but investors should be mindful of the fact that will shorten the cash runway. BrainChip Holdings makes us a little nervous due to its lack of substantial operating revenue. We prefer most of the stocks on this list of stocks that analysts expect to grow. Can BrainChip Holdings Raise More Cash Easily? Since its cash burn is increasing (albeit only slightly), BrainChip Holdings shareholders should still be mindful of the possibility it will require more cash in the future. Generally speaking, a listed business can raise new cash through issuing shares or taking on debt. Many companies end up issuing new shares to fund future growth. By comparing a company's annual cash burn to its total market capitalisation, we can estimate roughly how many shares it would have to issue in order to run the company for another year (at the same burn rate). BrainChip Holdings has a market capitalisation of US$209m and burnt through US$16m last year, which is 7.7% of the company's market value. That's a low proportion, so we figure the company would be able to raise more cash to fund growth, with a little dilution, or even to simply borrow some money. So, Should We Worry About BrainChip Holdings' Cash Burn? Even though its increasing cash burn makes us a little nervous, we are compelled to mention that we thought BrainChip Holdings' cash burn relative to its market cap was relatively promising. While we're the kind of investors who are always a bit concerned about the risks involved with cash burning companies, the metrics we have discussed in this article leave us relatively comfortable about BrainChip Holdings' situation. On another note, BrainChip Holdings has 5 warning signs (and 2 which make us uncomfortable) we think you should know about. Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere.

Taylor Swift and Chiefs fans rejoice as Kansas City beats Cincinnati, 25-17, to capture AFC West for the EIGHTH consecutive season despite just three catches by Travis Kelce... as pair sets off for New Year's Eve party with family - READ MORE: Jason Whitlock accuses CBS Sports of following Taylor Swift - READ MORE: Taylor Swift enjoys Arrowhead suite with Travis Kelce's mom - DailyMail.com provides all the latest international sports news No, Taylor Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce hasn't caused the Kansas City Chiefs' season to completely derail. The pop star was again on hand at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, where the defending Super Bowl champions topped the Cincinnati Bengals, 25-17, to bounce back from their Christmas Day loss to the rival Las Vegas Raiders. Kelce, though, was nearly a non-factor for Patrick Mahomes & Co., finishing the game with only three catches for 16 yards on four targets. He remains only a few yards short of his eighth consecutive 1,000-yard season. For the 10-6 Chiefs, the win was significant. Not only does Kansas City win its eighth consecutive AFC West crown, but it comes after a miserable 3-8 stretch that threatened their entire season. Naturally, many suggested that Swift was somehow to blame for distracting Kelce, and the Chiefs from the job at hand, but that wasn't the case on Sunday as Kansas City came back to beat the Bengals, who fell to 8-8. Before the matchup, NFL analyst Jason Whitlock accused CBS Sports of following Swift around, instead of showing high-caliber games, like Ravens-Dolphins, on T.V. Swift has become friendly with the families of Chiefs players amid her romance with Kelce Kelce had just three catches vs. Cincinnati and remains a few yards short of 1,000 for the year Swift laughs as she watches the first half of Sunday's rematch of last year's AFC title game Swift celebrated the Chiefs win with a dink in her hand and a with a young Chiefs fan in a suite Swift spent Sunday's game in her customary suite, surrounded by the family and friends of Kelce's Chiefs teammates, including the tight end's mother, Donna. And as has become a familiar scene at Arrowhead, fans brought signs in hopes of catching her attention. One clever Chiefs supporter referred to the romantic couple as 'T-N-T,' writing that: 'They're Dynamite!' Another young attendee wrote that she was 'only here for Taylor.' Kelce only had 3 receptions for 16 yards vs. Cincy, with his longest reception being 10 yards Kelce is only a few yards short of registering his eighth consecutive season with 1,000+ yards Kelce warming up before facing the Bengals in front of Swift in Cincinnati on Sunday evening This Chiefs fan held a poster likening Swift and Kelce's romance to TNT: 'They're Dynamite!' Another Chiefs fan preferred to describe Kelce & Patrick Mahomes as the Chiefs' 'dynamic duo' A Swiftie made it publicly clear that she had only travelled to Arrowhead to see Swift in person Harrison Butker was a career-best 6 for 6 on field-goal attempts, Kansas City held the Bengals scoreless over their final seven possessions. Patrick Mahomes had 245 yards passing and a touchdown for Kansas City (10-6), which also secured at least the No. 3 seed and one home playoff game. Isiah Pacheco ran 18 times for 130 yards while Rashee Rice had five catches for 127 yards. The Bengals (8-8), fighting for their own playoff lives, led by 10 early but found themselves trailing 25-17 when Butker hit the last of his field goals — a 46-yarder through blustery wind — with 2:59 remaining in the game. With one last chance, Jake Browning hit Tyler Boyd to convert a long fourth down and get into Kansas City territory, but back-to-back sacks by George Karlaftis and Chris Jones gave the Chiefs eight on the day and ended the Bengals’ comeback hopes. Browning finished with 197 yards passing and a touchdown. Joe Mixon ran for 65 yards and had the TD reception. Butker converted from 54, 43, 27, 24, 48 and 46 yards, accounting for the game’s final 18 points. The Bengals and Chiefs are accustomed to playing high-stakes games when the weather turns frigid, meeting for down-to-the-wire nail-biters in each of the past two AFC championship games. And they are usually accompanied by plenty of trash talk, be it from elected officials or — in the case this past week — players such as the Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase. Swift arrived at Arrowhead while wearing Travis' varsity Chiefs jacket before Sunday's game Kelce preferred to rock a more casual look than his girlfriend, wearing a striped Nike track suit Swift had part of her hair braided as she made her way up to a Chiefs suite prior to kickoff Kelce was spotted leaving the Chiefs team hotel ahead of Sunday's game in a tiger track suit The animosity usually spills onto the field, too. Midway through the second quarter, Chase and Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed got into a heated argument, and eventually a team-wide scrum resulted in offsetting personal fouls. The Bengals jumped ahead 10-7 when an 8 1/2-minute drive resulted in a field goal and a 6 1/2-minute march ended in Mixon’s touchdown catch. Cincinnati then got the ball back when Trey Hendrickson ran right around rookie right tackle Wanya Morris, stripped Mahomes from behind and Sam Hubbard was there to pounce on the loose ball. Pass interference on Sneed in the end zone set up Browning’s 1-yard TD run. Butker’s first field goal got the Chiefs within 17-10, and they had a chance to take the lead when Mahomes saw Marquez Valdes-Scantling wide open on their next possession. But yet another dropped pass — the NFL-leading 40th by Kansas City this season — forced the Chiefs to settle for a field goal to trail 17-13 at the break. As the Chiefs’ defense stiffened in the second half, their offense began showing signs of life. They stuffed the Bengals on fourth-and-1 at the Kansas City 6, then drove 82 yards for Butker’s third field goal. And after the Bengals had to punt, Mahomes hit Rashee Rice for 67 yards to set up Butker’s chip shot and give the Chiefs the lead for good.	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-12915433/Taylor-Swift-attends-Chiefs-win-against-Bengals-supporting-Travis-Kelce.html	2024-01-01T01:48:42Z
Lamar Jackson posts perfect passer rating as Ravens route of Dolphins, 56-19, to clinch top seed and homefield advantage throughout AFC playoffs - Now Baltimore (13-1) can rest its starting QB and other players against Pittsburgh - Jackson, 26, won the NFL MVP award in only his sophomore season in Baltimore - DailyMail.com provides all the latest international sports news In stunning argument in favor of his own MVP candidacy, Lamar Jackson finished with a perfect passer rating while also helping the Baltimore Ravens clinch the top seed of the AFC with a 56-19 rout of the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Jackson, 26, threw for 321 yards and five touchdowns, two of them being for receiver Isaiah Likely, on Sunday, as the Ravens won their sixth straight game, bringing home their first AFC North title since 2019, Jackson's first MVP season. Now Baltimore (13-3) can rest its starting quarterback — and anyone else it chooses — in the regular-season finale against Pittsburgh. Miami (11-5) is also postseason bound, but now the winner of next weekend's Dolphins-Bills game will take the AFC East. And now the Dolphins face a potentially significant injury. Linebacker Bradley Chubb — with his team down 30 points — had to be carted off with 3:05 remaining after hurting his knee. Serenaded with periodic 'MVP!' chants from the home crowd, Jackson went 18 of 21 passing. Lamar Jackson celebrates after defeating the Miami Dolphins and clinching the AFC's top spot Jackson also had a perfect passer rating of 158.3 against Miami in 2019. He joins Tom Brady (against Detroit) as the only quarterbacks with two perfect ratings against the same team, with a minimum of 20 attempts. 'He played a perfect football game in terms of the passing game,' Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said. What's more is, that Jackson's performances have the Ravens rolling through a grueling December stretch that included games against the Rams, Jaguars, 49ers and Dolphins. Jackson threw for 321 yards and five touchdowns in a 56-19 drubbing of the Dolphins, Sunday 'I don't know if I've seen a more impressive performance in a game. I'm not sure I've seen a more impressive performance in a season to date,' added Harbaugh, whose team will have a first-round bye before hosting its postseason opener. 'Obviously we have a lot more to do. We've got a lot of work to do in front of us, but this is a mature football team.' To the Dolphins defense, they were two offensive stars in receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle) and running back Raheem Mostert (knee, ankle).	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-12915461/Lamar-Jackson-posts-perfect-passer-rating-Ravens-route-Dolphins-56-19-clinch-seed-homefield-advantage-AFC-playoffs.html	2024-01-01T01:48:43Z
Insider Spends US$502k Buying More Shares In Nickel Industries Potential Nickel Industries Limited (ASX:NIC) shareholders may wish to note that the MD & Director, Justin Werner, recently bought AU$502k worth of stock, paying AU$0.67 for each share. Although the purchase only increased their holding by 2.3%, it is still a solid purchase in our view. See our latest analysis for Nickel Industries Nickel Industries Insider Transactions Over The Last Year The insider Mark Lochtenberg made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for AU$2.0m worth of shares at a price of AU$1.02 each. That means that even when the share price was higher than AU$0.69 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock if insiders have bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price. Nickel Industries insiders may have bought shares in the last year, but they didn't sell any. Their average price was about AU$0.91. I'd consider this a positive as it suggests insiders see value at around the current price. You can see a visual depiction of insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last 12 months, below. By clicking on the graph below, you can see the precise details of each insider transaction! There are always plenty of stocks that insiders are buying. So if that suits your style you could check each stock one by one or you could take a look at this free list of companies. (Hint: insiders have been buying them). Insider Ownership Of Nickel Industries Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. Nickel Industries insiders own about AU$159m worth of shares (which is 5.3% of the company). Most shareholders would be happy to see this sort of insider ownership, since it suggests that management incentives are well aligned with other shareholders. What Might The Insider Transactions At Nickel Industries Tell Us? It's certainly positive to see the recent insider purchase. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. When combined with notable insider ownership, these factors suggest Nickel Industries insiders are well aligned, and quite possibly think the share price is too low. One for the watchlist, at least! So while it's helpful to know what insiders are doing in terms of buying or selling, it's also helpful to know the risks that a particular company is facing. To help with this, we've discovered 3 warning signs (1 is significant!) that you ought to be aware of before buying any shares in Nickel Industries. Of course Nickel Industries may not be the best stock to buy. So you may wish to see this free collection of high quality companies.

CHENNAI: Students from University of Madras have found evidence of a middle Paleolithic-era site at Sembur near Kalpakkam. Explorations in the Chengalpet district village unearthed stone tools including cores and a few hand axes that could be from the period. Potsherds of black and redware, a bowl-shaped vessel which could have been used as a measuring device, large pieces of red ware and broken pieces of a ring well were also found. Researchers said these stone tools could dated to the middle Paleolithic period on a typo-technological basis. “Evidence shows there was continuous human habitation from the Middle Paleolithic to historical period at the site,” said J Soundararajan, associate professor and head in-charge, department of ancient history and archaeology. To find potential sites for archaeological excavation, ancient history and archaeology department students R Sudharshan and Sanjay surveyed the southwest of Nerumbur that was recently excavated. “Stone tools collected from Sembur also gave evidence of using Levallois technology, a stone flaking technique in which large flakes are produced from a tortoise core,” said Jinu Koshy, excavation incharge, department of ancient history and archaeology. Sembur is close to the coast, rare for a Paleolithic site. “Excavation at this site could reveal sea level changes associated with climatic changes which could have triggered migration during the Middle Paleolithic period.” Sembur also has evidence of an Iron Age-era burial site. The famous middle Paleolithic-era site at Attirampakkam in Tiruvallur district is some 90km from Sembur. Earlier, the university’s students found a Sangam-era glass bead manufacturing centre at Kadalmangalam near Uthiramerur in Kancheepuram district. We also published the following articles recently Stone age tools found in SiddipetNeolithic stone age tools, including a stone hatch, have been discovered at Ummapur village in Husnabad mandal of Siddipet district. The stone hatch, which was being used as a butcher's knife by pre-historic people, has a 10-inch long blade and a 7-inch wide knuckle for grip. Stir over Tamnar tower plan near Xeldem lake siteResidents of Xeldem protest against the construction of a high tension line tower as part of the Tamnar power project near Xeldem Lake. They fear irreversible damage to the natural ecosystem. Prashant Gauns Dessai has been protesting the construction work and demands immediate action. Officials from the ministry of environment and local panchayat have visited the lake but have not taken any action. Social activist Aditya Dessai criticizes the officials for not enforcing environment protection laws. The villagers had previously protested against the violation of a stop work order. Matrimonial sites under scrutiny: Are they safe for women?Matrimonial websites in India are popular for matchmaking but come with risks for women. Fake profiles, privacy violations, blackmailing, and stalking are reported challenges. To address these, platforms have implemented profile verification, screening algorithms, block/report features, customer support, and legal action. However, transparency and swift response are needed. Matrimonial sites should publicize legal actions, provide proactive outreach, and ensure transparent processes. Women's safety should be prioritized to empower them in their marital journey and create a safe internet environment.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/middle-paleolithic-era-site-evidence-found-in-chennai/articleshow/106412744.cms	2024-01-01T01:48:45Z
North Korea Abandons Pursuit of Reconciliation with South Korea In a significant shift of policy, Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, has publicly declared that the country will abandon its pursuit of reconciliation or unification with South Korea. This announcement, disseminated through North Korea’s state media channels, signifies a notable position that could impact inter-Korean relations. A Step Back from Reconciliation The North Korean leader’s announcement marks a stark deviation from previous efforts towards reconciliation and unification. According to Kim Jong Un, the relationship between North and South Korea has turned hostile, and any military confrontation attempt by the US and South Korea would be met with serious action from North Korea’s ‘nuclear war deterrent’. Escalating Military Preparations Kim Jong Un announced plans to place three new military spy satellites into orbit in 2024, a move aligning with the country’s previous activities. Over the past year, North Korea has carried out a record-breaking number of weapons tests, including the launch of its most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile. The country’s decision to boost its nuclear arsenal, which analysts estimate could already include 20 to 60 warheads, further escalates tensions. Impact on Inter-Korean Relations This announcement is indicative of deteriorating inter-Korean relations and reflects North Korea’s growing preference to strengthen relationships with allies such as China and Russia over its southern neighbor. The shift could lead to heightened friction and tensions in Northeast Asia, with the country’s plans to launch additional spy satellites raising concerns and facing criticism as violations of UN Security Council resolutions.

CHENNAI/MADURAI: Recovering from the onslaught of heavy rain, flood-ravaged Tuticorin and Tirunelveli districts experienced moderate to heavy rainfall on Saturday while a few areas in Tirunelveli district near the western ghats recorded a maximum of 22cm rainfall which increased the water level in Manimuthar and Papanasam dam. About 7,000 cusecs of excess water was released into the Thamirabarani river. People living near the river have been asked to shift to safer places along with their cattle as heavy rainfall was predicted in the next two days. The IMD has predicted heavy rainfall in four southern districts, including Tuticorin, Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and Kanyakumari on December 1 and 2. Meanwhile, a government release on Saturday detailed the ₹1,000 crore relief package for districts in Tamil Nadu affected by the northeast monsoons. Crops raised in 2.64 lakh hectares in eight districts, including Tuticorin and Tirunelveli, were damaged by the extreme rainfall, and compensation of ₹250 crore will be extended towards loss. Cooperative societies would extend loan assistance for crops and farm mechanization. The agriculture engineering department would remove silt from agriculture land in Tuticorin and Tirunelveli districts free of cost. A special scheme would be introduced to extend loans up to ₹1 lakh to affected small traders in Chennai, Tuticorin and Tirunelveli districts. The small traders, petty shop owners and street vendors can avail loan up to ₹10,000 at 4% interest for a year and up to ₹1 lakh at 6% interest. Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corporation (TIIC) would provide financial aid to the flood-affected MSMEs in Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu, Tirunelveli and Tuticorin districts. Immediate measures would be taken to provide new loan to the extent of ₹350 crore to 4,000 women self-help groups, who are eligible for loans in the current fiscal, in Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu, Tuticorin, Tirunelveli, Kanyakumari and Tenkasi districts. The government would extend compensation of Rs 15crore towards the damage meted out to 4,928 fishing boats and machinery in Tuticorin and Tirunelveli districts. Around 17,000 head of cattle and one lakh chickens died in Tuticorin and Tirunelveli districts.

The past three years for Bubs Australia (ASX:BUB) investors has not been profitable Every investor on earth makes bad calls sometimes. But you have a problem if you face massive losses more than once in a while. So consider, for a moment, the misfortune of Bubs Australia Limited (ASX:BUB) investors who have held the stock for three years as it declined a whopping 78%. That'd be enough to cause even the strongest minds some disquiet. And more recent buyers are having a tough time too, with a drop of 57% in the last year. Furthermore, it's down 19% in about a quarter. That's not much fun for holders. Now let's have a look at the company's fundamentals, and see if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business. See our latest analysis for Bubs Australia Because Bubs Australia made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size. In the last three years, Bubs Australia saw its revenue grow by 21% per year, compound. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. So why has the share priced crashed 21% per year, in the same time? The share price makes us wonder if there is an issue with profitability. Ultimately, revenue growth doesn't amount to much if the business can't scale well. If the company is low on cash, it may have to raise capital soon. You can see below how earnings and revenue have changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image). It's probably worth noting that the CEO is paid less than the median at similar sized companies. It's always worth keeping an eye on CEO pay, but a more important question is whether the company will grow earnings throughout the years. You can see what analysts are predicting for Bubs Australia in this interactive graph of future profit estimates. A Different Perspective While the broader market gained around 13% in the last year, Bubs Australia shareholders lost 57%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 11% per year over five years. We realise that Baron Rothschild has said investors should "buy when there is blood on the streets", but we caution that investors should first be sure they are buying a high quality business. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. For example, we've discovered 3 warning signs for Bubs Australia that you should be aware of before investing here. If you are like me, then you will not want to miss this free list of growing companies that insiders are buying.

North Korea Abandons Reconciliation Plans with South Korea In a notable shift in policy, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has stated that his country does not aim for reconciliation or unification with South Korea. As reported by the state media, the North Korean leader’s comments indicate a further distancing from South Korea and a commitment to the country’s policy of self-reliance. North Korea’s Shift in Policy Kim Jong Un declared that North Korea should no longer consider South Korea as a reunification counterpart. This statement is a significant development in inter-Korean relations, suggesting a possible increase in North Korea’s isolation from South Korea. The announcement could have far-reaching implications for the stability of the Korean peninsula, regional security, and international diplomatic efforts for peace-building and denuclearization in the region. Increased Military Readiness Alongside the shift in policy, North Korea announced plans to launch three more spy satellites next year. Kim Jong Un called for overwhelming war readiness to cope with U.S.-led confrontational moves. This call for enhanced military readiness suggests an intensification of weapons tests ahead of the U.S. presidential elections in 2024. The North Korean leader believes that a boosted nuclear capability would offer another opportunity for high-stakes diplomacy with the U.S. to win sanctions relief. Implications for Regional Security The implications of this shift in North Korea’s policy are far-reaching. The North Korean leader’s remarks underscore a firm commitment to the country’s existing political and ideological path, distancing itself from the prospect of rapprochement with South Korea. This policy shift could potentially destabilize the region and complicate international diplomatic efforts aimed at denuclearization and peace-building in the Korean peninsula. South Korea’s National Intelligence Service has warned of potential provocations from North Korea ahead of its parliamentary elections and the U.S. presidential election.

Regis Resources (ASX:RRL) shareholders have endured a 49% loss from investing in the stock five years ago It is doubtless a positive to see that the Regis Resources Limited (ASX:RRL) share price has gained some 45% in the last three months. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last five years have been less than pleasing. After all, the share price is down 56% in that time, significantly under-performing the market. So let's have a look and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress. View our latest analysis for Regis Resources There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS). In the last half decade Regis Resources saw its share price fall as its EPS declined below zero. Since the company has fallen to a loss making position, it's hard to compare the change in EPS with the share price change. However, we can say we'd expect to see a falling share price in this scenario. The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Even so, future earnings will be far more important to whether current shareholders make money. Dive deeper into the earnings by checking this interactive graph of Regis Resources' earnings, revenue and cash flow. What About The Total Shareholder Return (TSR)? Investors should note that there's a difference between Regis Resources' total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price change, which we've covered above. The TSR attempts to capture the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested) as well as any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings offered to shareholders. Regis Resources' TSR of was a loss of 49% for the 5 years. That wasn't as bad as its share price return, because it has paid dividends. A Different Perspective Regis Resources shareholders gained a total return of 5.8% during the year. But that return falls short of the market. On the bright side, that's still a gain, and it is certainly better than the yearly loss of about 8% endured over half a decade. So this might be a sign the business has turned its fortunes around.

Returns On Capital Are Showing Encouraging Signs At Multi-Chem (SGX:AWZ) Did you know there are some financial metrics that can provide clues of a potential multi-bagger? Firstly, we'd want to identify a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and then alongside that, an ever-increasing base of capital employed. Put simply, these types of businesses are compounding machines, meaning they are continually reinvesting their earnings at ever-higher rates of return. With that in mind, we've noticed some promising trends at Multi-Chem (SGX:AWZ) so let's look a bit deeper. What Is Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)? Just to clarify if you're unsure, ROCE is a metric for evaluating how much pre-tax income (in percentage terms) a company earns on the capital invested in its business. The formula for this calculation on Multi-Chem is: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.16 = S$24m ÷ (S$333m - S$179m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to June 2023). Therefore, Multi-Chem has an ROCE of 16%. In absolute terms, that's a satisfactory return, but compared to the Electronic industry average of 8.3% it's much better. See our latest analysis for Multi-Chem While the past is not representative of the future, it can be helpful to know how a company has performed historically, which is why we have this chart above. If you want to delve into the historical earnings, revenue and cash flow of Multi-Chem, check out these free graphs here. What Can We Tell From Multi-Chem's ROCE Trend? We like the trends that we're seeing from Multi-Chem. The numbers show that in the last five years, the returns generated on capital employed have grown considerably to 16%. The company is effectively making more money per dollar of capital used, and it's worth noting that the amount of capital has increased too, by 37%. The increasing returns on a growing amount of capital is common amongst multi-baggers and that's why we're impressed. On a separate but related note, it's important to know that Multi-Chem has a current liabilities to total assets ratio of 54%, which we'd consider pretty high. This can bring about some risks because the company is basically operating with a rather large reliance on its suppliers or other sorts of short-term creditors. Ideally we'd like to see this reduce as that would mean fewer obligations bearing risks. The Key Takeaway In summary, it's great to see that Multi-Chem can compound returns by consistently reinvesting capital at increasing rates of return, because these are some of the key ingredients of those highly sought after multi-baggers. And a remarkable 308% total return over the last five years tells us that investors are expecting more good things to come in the future. With that being said, we still think the promising fundamentals mean the company deserves some further due diligence.

RUDRAPUR: Gadarpur police in Udham Singh Nagar district successfully busted an illegal weapons factory during an operation conducted on Friday evening. Police also arrested one Mehar Singh, a resident of Gulab Ka Majhra in Kelakhera town, from the jungle near Aryanagar village in connection with the illicit manufacturing. Following the operation, the police recovered 11 pistols and guns, along with 18 live cartridges, weapon-making equipment, and various tools and machinery used in the illegal manufacturing process. "During interrogation, Singh disclosed his involvement, along with his son Mahendra and his aunt's son Darshan Singh, in manufacturing illegal weapons. Mahendra, responsible for manufacturing, distributed the firearms to locations such as Rampur, Rudrapur, Kichha, Haldwani, Bazpur, and Kaladhungi," senior superintendent of police Manjunath TC said. Singh's accomplices, Mahendra Singh and Darshan Singh, however, remain at large.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/dehradun/illegal-arms-factory-busted-in-us-nagar-rudrapur-gadarpur-police-arrests-suspect/articleshow/106413436.cms	2024-01-01T01:48:59Z
Singler, 35, initially cooperated with police but disappeared during the investigation, said Ira Cronin, spokesperson for the Colorado Springs Police Department. Authorities were unable to apprehend her after obtaining an arrest warrant Tuesday on charges of murder and attempted murder, among other allegations. Singler was not under surveillance and was last seen in Colorado Springs on Dec. 23, said Cronin. Authorities did not provide further details on the overseas arrest, but said they are working with multiple law enforcement agencies. Attempts to reach Singler for comment through phone numbers listed for her were unsuccessful. Cronin said he didn't know if she has an attorney. When police first responded to Singler’s home, they found her with minor injuries, the two children’s bodies and Singler’s 11-year-old daughter hurt. At first, Singler was treated as a burglary victim, said Cronin. The injured girl was hospitalized for a few days before being released and is recovering in Colorado Springs, said Cronin. The children’s deaths came amid an ongoing legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, according to court filings. ___ Bedayn is a corps member for the Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

North Korea Announces Shift in Stance on Inter-Korean Unification In a notable shift in stance, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has announced that the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) has concluded that unification with South Korea is not feasible. The announcement, made through the state media, marks a significant moment in the history of the two Koreas, whose complex relationship has always been marked by historical tensions and differing political systems. North Korea: Two Hostile Countries At War Kim Jong Un’s statement also suggested a hardened stance towards South Korea, defining the inter-Korean relations as that of two hostile countries in a state of war. This veiled threat carries a weight of implications, suggesting that the regime could potentially use its nuclear weapons against South Korea. The shift in dealing with Seoul calls for a fundamental change in approach, a move that has alarmed experts worldwide, who warn that North Korea’s threat to use tactical nuclear weapons could move beyond rhetoric. Significance of the Announcement This announcement comes at a time when the world watches with bated breath as North Korea outlines its security goals for 2024, including the launch of three more spy satellites. Amid warnings of potential war and the use of nuclear weapons, Kim’s statements carry a veiled threat towards Seoul, causing South Korea’s secret service to warn of possible provocations from North Korea ahead of their parliamentary elections in April and the US presidential election in November. Implications for the Future This shift in stance not only represents a significant moment in the narrative of the two Koreas but also has profound implications for the future of the Korean Peninsula and regional stability. As both ruling and opposition parties in South Korea urge North Korea to return to dialogue for peace talks, the world waits to understand the complete implications of this conclusion. While North Korea vows to launch three new spy satellites, build military drones, and boost its nuclear arsenal by 2024, Kim also promises to develop the economy, including investing in science and technological research at schools. The new phase in inter-Korean relations thus seems to be marked by a mix of military escalation and economic aspirations.

Taylor Swift has Travis Kelce's nickname for her STITCHED onto a replica of his Kansas City Chiefs jacket as she attends his final game of 2023 Taylor Swift cheered boyfriend Travis Kelce on wearing a piece of clothing that had numerous personal draws to it. During Sunday's Kansas City Chiefs game against the Cincinnati Bengals, which is the last game of the regular season, the Lavender Haze singer – who just broke Elvis Presley's record for the most weeks at #1 by a solo artist with 1989 (Taylor's Version) – sported a brand new jacket with a very interesting twist. Taylor, 34, wore a replica Chiefs jacket – the same one Travis, also 34, wears on game day. There was one important difference on the Cruel Summer hitmaker's jacket. Tay-Tay, which is Travis' nickname for her was stitched on it. Swifties went wild over this on social media, noting that they are happy he's adopted the fan base's nickname for her. Taylor Swift showed up to watch beau Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Cincinnati Bengals wearing a replica Chiefs jacket with the NFL star's nickname for her - Tay-Tay - stitched on it The couple's twinning had fans in a meltdown as the love story between the pop superstar and the football tight end goes from strength to strength One fan in Facebook's Swifties 2.0 group commented: 'I'm so glad she embraces the nicknames swifties give her,' while another responded to that to say: 'it is Travis' nickname for her, it slipped in an interview or on his podcast.' In a November episode of his New Heights podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, 36, the tight end, Jason congratulated him on reaching a record 11,000 receiving yards in the NFL and the only Chiefs player to do it in team history. Jason, who is the center for the Philadelphia Eagles noted that the All Too Well singer liked a Kansas City Chiefs post lauding his achievement. 'Alright now. Thanks, Tay,' Travis said. 'I appreciate you on the Chiefs' page supporting.' While several fans called it a Wag jacket or thought it was Travis' jacket, several pointed out that Travis' jacket would be huge on the Maroon songstress and the jacket she wore fit her perfectly. Over on TikTok Swifties were also enthusiastic about the new jacket, speculating that it was her Christmas present from Travis. One fan humorously commented: 'Travis' Custom Chiefs Jacket (Tay Tay's Version),' referencing the albums the Love Story singer has been rerecording and calling Taylor's Version. Another fan pointed out: 'Trav mentioned in a podcast that he LOVES varsity jackets, so prob the cutest gift ever.' Someone else aptly pointed out what we are all feeling: 'OMG this just keeps getting CUTER.' Over on TikTok Swifties were also enthusiastic about the new jacket, speculating that it was her Christmas present from Travis A fan pointed out: 'Trav mentioned in a podcast that he LOVES varsity jackets, so prob the cutest gift ever', while others were thrilled Kelce has adopted the nickname Taylor had plenty to smile about Sunday - the Chiefs won the game and she'll be ringing in the New Year at a party at Travis' mansion On X (formerly known as Twitter), fans were just as excited. One wrote: 'Couples goal,' while someone else quipped: 'the HS prom king & queen vibes are undefeated.' 'GIGGLING AND KICKING MY FEET SO HARD RN,' another Swiftie gleefully posted. Taylor took in the game from the VIP box with Travis' parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes'wife Brittany Mahomes. Sunday's game was a rematch of last season's AFC Championship game and the ninth game of the season that the Mirrorball singer attended to watch her boyfriend play.	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12915297/Taylor-Swift-Travis-Kelces-nickname-STITCHED-replica-Kansas-City-Chiefs-jacket-attends-final-game-2023.html	2024-01-01T01:49:02Z

Solarvest Holdings Berhad's (KLSE:SLVEST) Returns On Capital Not Reflecting Well On The Business Finding a business that has the potential to grow substantially is not easy, but it is possible if we look at a few key financial metrics. Firstly, we'll want to see a proven return on capital employed (ROCE) that is increasing, and secondly, an expanding base of capital employed. Ultimately, this demonstrates that it's a business that is reinvesting profits at increasing rates of return. In light of that, when we looked at Solarvest Holdings Berhad (KLSE:SLVEST) and its ROCE trend, we weren't exactly thrilled. Understanding Return On Capital Employed (ROCE) For those that aren't sure what ROCE is, it measures the amount of pre-tax profits a company can generate from the capital employed in its business. The formula for this calculation on Solarvest Holdings Berhad is: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.10 = RM41m ÷ (RM561m - RM156m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2023). So, Solarvest Holdings Berhad has an ROCE of 10%. That's a relatively normal return on capital, and it's around the 11% generated by the Electrical industry. See our latest analysis for Solarvest Holdings Berhad In the above chart we have measured Solarvest Holdings Berhad's prior ROCE against its prior performance, but the future is arguably more important. If you'd like to see what analysts are forecasting going forward, you should check out our free report for Solarvest Holdings Berhad. So How Is Solarvest Holdings Berhad's ROCE Trending? When we looked at the ROCE trend at Solarvest Holdings Berhad, we didn't gain much confidence. To be more specific, ROCE has fallen from 32% over the last five years. Although, given both revenue and the amount of assets employed in the business have increased, it could suggest the company is investing in growth, and the extra capital has led to a short-term reduction in ROCE. If these investments prove successful, this can bode very well for long term stock performance. On a side note, Solarvest Holdings Berhad has done well to pay down its current liabilities to 28% of total assets. So we could link some of this to the decrease in ROCE. What's more, this can reduce some aspects of risk to the business because now the company's suppliers or short-term creditors are funding less of its operations. Since the business is basically funding more of its operations with it's own money, you could argue this has made the business less efficient at generating ROCE. The Bottom Line In summary, despite lower returns in the short term, we're encouraged to see that Solarvest Holdings Berhad is reinvesting for growth and has higher sales as a result. These trends are starting to be recognized by investors since the stock has delivered a 3.2% gain to shareholders who've held over the last three years. So this stock may still be an appealing investment opportunity, if other fundamentals prove to be sound. One more thing to note, we've identified 2 warning signs with Solarvest Holdings Berhad and understanding them should be part of your investment process.
