SEATTLE — (AP) — Najee Harris rushed for a season-high 122 yards and bullied his way into the end zone for a pair of touchdowns, and the Pittsburgh Steelers kept their playoff hopes alive into Week 18 with a 30-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Using a punishing running attack that faced little resistance from Seattle, the Steelers (9-7) pushed their way into the final week of the regular season with a chance at the postseason and ensured that Mike Tomlin’s team would yet again avoid a losing record.
Harris had not hit the century mark rushing this season, his closest coming when he ran for 99 yards against Cincinnati. But he combined with Jaylen Warren for a running punch that Seattle struggled to stop.
Harris averaged 4.5 yards per carry and reached the 100-yard mark for the first time since Week 17 of last season against Baltimore. Warren added another 75 yards rushing and scored on a 18-yard run in the first quarter.
Harris scored on a 9-yard touchdown run in the second quarter breaking several tackles on his way to the goal line before a final lunge to break the plane. In the third quarter, Harris scored on a 4-yard run with a big assist from his linemen pushing the pile into the end zone to give the Steelers a 24-17 lead.
Pittsburgh thrived against Seattle’s run defense that has been awful for more than half the season and finished with 202 yards rushing and a season-high 468 total yards. Pittsburgh was the sixth straight opponent to rush for at least 135 yards against the Seahawks.
Quarterback Mason Rudolph was 18 of 24 for 274 yards and hit the big throws when needed, none more important than a 34-yard completion to George Pickens on third-and-6 early in the fourth quarter. Pickens made a terrific diving finger-tip catch and led to Chris Boswell's 26-yard field goal that gave the Steelers a 27-20 lead with 7:07 left.
Rudolph also hit Pickens for 24 yards with two minutes left and Seattle desperately needing a stop. Pickens had seven catches for 131 yards.
Seattle (8-8) had its two-game win streak snapped and while the Seahawks weren’t eliminated from the postseason, they will need a victory and a lot of help in Week 18.
Geno Smith threw for 290 yards and a 12-yard TD to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first half. Kenneth Walker III added 53 yards rushing and a 13-yard TD in the first half, but the Seahawks settled for three field goals in the second half and Smith committed one big turnover.
Nick Herbig forced and recovered a fumble sacking Smith with seven minutes left, giving the Steelers possession at the Seattle 16 and Boswell’s 21-yard field goal with 4:31 left pushed the Pittsburgh lead to 30-20.
INJURIES
Seattle took two major hits to its offensive line. Starting right tackle Abe Lucas played the entire first half, but went to the locker room early before the second quarter ended and was ruled out with a knee injury when the second half started.
Three plays into the third quarter, center Evan Brown had to be helped off the field and was ruled out with a concussion.
UP NEXT
Steelers: Pittsburgh will be at Baltimore in Week 18.
Seahawks: Seattle closes out the regular season at Arizona next week.

LAHORE - The Pakistan Furniture Council (FC) has demanded the government to accord top priority to the industrial sector regarding uninterrupted power and gas supplies during the winter season. The PFC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mian Kashif Ashfaq made this demand while talking to a delegation of industrialists led by Chaudhary Araib Arain here on Sunday. He argued that the industrial sector plays a pivotal role in the economic growth and uninterrupted gas and power supplies are essential for its smooth functioning. It will not only sustain production but also safeguard jobs and contribute to overall economic stability besides help achieve export targets. Kashif Ashfaq said that timely availability of power is also crucial for agricultural activities, especially during winter, to support processes such as crop drying and irrigation. Ensuring a reliable power supply to this sector will directly impact food production and the livelihood of farmers, he added. The PFC chief hoped that government would take necessary measures to coordinate with relevant authorities and stakeholders to implement this prioritisation effectively. He was of the view that govt attention to this matter will undoubtedly contribute to the economic prosperity and well-being of the people.

Summary: Researchers from NTU have discovered a concerning vulnerability in popular AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Bing Chat. Through a method they’ve named “Masterkey,” they were able to jailbreak these AI chatbots and generate valid but malicious responses. This research brings attention to the ethical challenges faced by large language models (LLMs) and highlights the need for improved security measures within the AI industry.
Concerns Mount as AI Chatbots Fall Victim to Jailbreaking
NTU researchers, led by Professor Liu Yang and PhD students Deng Gelei and Liu Yi, have successfully jailbroken several AI chatbots. Their study reveals the flaws in these seemingly intelligent systems, which can be manipulated to produce violent, unethical, or criminal content. While AI chatbots are designed to learn and adapt, this very strength becomes their Achilles heel. By outsmarting the AI through circumvention of blacklisted keywords, malicious actors can exploit these systems.
The Masterkey method devised by the NTU researchers involves reverse engineering an LLM’s defense mechanisms and using that knowledge to teach another LLM to bypass these defenses. Once a Masterkey is created, it can be employed to attack even fortified LLM chatbots, rendering subsequent patches ineffective.
Implications for the AI Industry
NTU’s Masterkey technique proved to be three times more effective in jailbreaking LLM chatbots compared to standard prompts. Additionally, it demonstrated the ability to continuously learn and evolve, making it challenging for developers to implement effective fixes. The researchers discussed two specific methods they used to initiate attacks—one involved creating prompts using additional spaces between characters to bypass banned words, while the other relied on making the chatbot appear morally unrestrained.
NTU researchers have reached out to AI chatbot service providers, sharing proof-of-concept data to demonstrate the vulnerability. This communication aims to encourage collaboration and prompt improvements to prevent malicious exploits. The research paper has also been accepted for presentation at a prestigious security symposium in February 2024.
FAQs
1. What is jailbreaking in the context of AI chatbots? Jailbreaking refers to the act of bypassing the security measures in an AI chatbot to manipulate its responses and generate malicious content.
2. How did NTU researchers jailbreak the AI chatbots? The researchers developed the Masterkey method, which involved reverse engineering an AI chatbot’s defense mechanisms and training another AI to create a bypass.
3. What are the implications of this research? The research highlights the vulnerability of AI chatbots to malicious exploitation. It emphasizes the need for improved security measures in the AI industry to prevent unethical or criminal use of these powerful tools.

Former Ambassador Advocates for 7-12% GDP Growth to Alleviate Poverty in Zambia
Former ambassador Anthony Mukwita has put forth a bold proposition for Zambia: to reach a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of seven to 12 percent, a goal that he believes is pivotal to significantly alleviate poverty among the nation’s populace. Mukwita, who served as Zambia’s ambassador to Germany, stresses the importance of economic growth as a means to lift the majority of the country’s poor from the clutches of abject poverty.
Ambitious Growth Targets
While the specifics of Mukwita’s proposal are yet to be outlined, the underpinning idea remains clear: to foster a robust economy capable of sustaining not just growth, but an inclusive growth that reaches the furthest and most vulnerable corners of Zambian society. The challenge, however, lies in the magnitude of the task. A GDP growth rate of 7-12% is a significant leap from the current state of affairs, necessitating a comprehensive and innovative approach.

Digitizing Communities to Drive Growth
In an attempt to spur this economic growth, the Zambian government has initiated the launch of Community Digital Transformation Centers (CDTCs), a collaborative effort with Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet service. These centers are conceived as hubs for high-speed internet connectivity, digital skills training, and online service delivery, particularly targeting remote areas that have traditionally been at a disadvantage in terms of digital access.
The first series of CDTCs, funded by a budget of $13 million, is scheduled for roll-out by the end of the year. The government’s hope is that these centers will kindle an entrepreneurial and innovative culture, thereby catalyzing the economic growth needed to reduce poverty.

Roadblocks Ahead
Despite the promising vision, the path to achieving these ambitious objectives is not without its challenges. The implementation of CDTCs faces possible roadblocks, both infrastructural and financial. Overcoming these hurdles will require not just resources, but also the will and commitment to follow through with the plan in the face of obstacles.
Anthony Mukwita’s call for a significant boost in Zambia’s GDP growth rate is a clarion call for action, a reminder that the fight against poverty requires not just good intentions, but strategic and innovative solutions. It remains to be seen how the government’s initiatives will pan out, but the goal is clear: to create a more prosperous Zambia, where economic growth is not just a statistic, but a tangible reality for all.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda. (Shell Brasil), a subsidiary of Shell plc, announces the start of production of the FPSO Sepetiba in the Mero field, offshore Santos Basin in Brazil. The FPSO Sepetiba, also known as Mero-2, has an operational capacity of 12 million cubic meters of natural gas and 180,000 barrels of oil per day and is connected to six production and six injector wells to the field, in the first wave. Technology applied in the construction and operation of the FPSO will increase production efficiency and contribute to emissions reductions.
"The FPSO Sepetiba development leverages our world-class partnership with Petrobras and reinforces our presence in one of the most productive fields in Brazil," said Zoë Yujnovich, Shell's Integrated Gas and Upstream Director. "This project aligns with Shell's Powering Progress strategy and our commitment to leverage increasingly efficient and competitive developments in our heartlands to provide safe, secure energy supplies today and for decades to come."
The FPSO Sepetiba is located 180 kilometres from the coast of Rio de Janeiro in a water depth of 2,050 meters. Its predecessor, the FPSO Guanabara, also known as Mero-1, announced first production in April of 2022. The consortium plans to receive two more FPSOs by the middle of the decade. Shell's world-leading Deep Water business comprises two prolific basins in the US and Brazil and an exciting exploration portfolio, with a sustained track record of strong cash generation and operational performance.
Notes to editors

In this announcement, "Shell", "Shell Group" and "Group" are sometimes used for convenience where references are made to Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general. Likewise, the words "we", "us" and "our" are also used to refer to Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general or to those who work for them. These terms are also used where no useful purpose is served by identifying the particular entity or entities. ''Subsidiaries'', "Shell subsidiaries" and "Shell companies" as used in this announcement refer to entities over which Shell plc either directly or indirectly has control. Entities and unincorporated arrangements over which Shell has joint control are generally referred to as "joint ventures" and "joint operations", respectively. "Joint ventures" and "joint operations" are collectively referred to as "joint arrangements". Entities over which Shell has significant influence but neither control nor joint control are referred to as "associates". The term "Shell interest" is used for convenience to indicate the direct and/or indirect ownership interest held by Shell in an entity or unincorporated joint arrangement, after exclusion of all third-party interest.
Forward-Looking Statements
This announcement contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of Shell. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on management's current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of Shell to market risks and statements expressing management's expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as "aim", "ambition", ''anticipate'', ''believe'', ''could'', ''estimate'', ''expect'', ''goals'', ''intend'', ''may'', "milestones", ''objectives'', ''outlook'', ''plan'', ''probably'', ''project'', ''risks'', "schedule", ''seek'', ''should'', ''target'', ''will'' and similar terms and phrases. There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of Shell and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this announcement, including (without limitation): (a) price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas; (b) changes in demand for Shell's products; (c) currency fluctuations; (d) drilling and production results; (e) reserves estimates; (f) loss of market share and industry competition; (g) environmental and physical risks; (h) risks associated with the identification of suitable potential acquisition properties and targets, and successful negotiation and completion of such transactions; (i) the risk of doing business in developing countries and countries subject to international sanctions; (j) legislative, judicial, fiscal and regulatory developments including regulatory measures addressing climate change; (k) economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions; (l) political risks, including the risks of expropriation and renegotiation of the terms of contracts with governmental entities, delays or advancements in the approval of projects and delays in the reimbursement for shared costs; (m) risks associated with the impact of pandemics, such as the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak; and (n) changes in trading conditions. No assurance is provided that future dividend payments will match or exceed previous dividend payments. All forward-looking statements contained in this announcement are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plc's Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 (available at www.shell.com/investor and www.sec.gov). These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this announcement and should be considered by the reader. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this announcement, December 19, 2023. Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information. In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement.
Shell's net carbon intensity
Also, in this announcement we may refer to Shell's "Net Carbon Intensity", which includes Shell's carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers' carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers' carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell's "Net Carbon Intensity" is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.
Shell's net-Zero Emissions Target
Shell's operating plan, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Net Carbon Intensity (NCI) targets over the next ten years. However, Shell's operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCI target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell's operating plans to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.
Forward Looking Non-GAAP measures
This announcement may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as [cash capital expenditure] and [divestments]. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc's consolidated financial statements.
The contents of websites referred to in this announcement do not form part of this announcement.
We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this announcement that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.

Global Rice Crisis: How India’s Export Ban is Shaking Up the Market
The global rice market, a lifeline for over half the world’s population, currently stands on the precipice of a crisis, the scale of which hasn’t been witnessed in two decades. A confluence of factors such as extreme weather, the pandemic, El Niño, and, most importantly, India’s export restrictions, is pushing the market into an abyss of inflation and instability, particularly in Asia.
The Domino Effect of India’s Export Ban
India’s stringent export bans on rice have set off a ripple effect felt across the globe. The country, struggling with its own food insecurity, imposed a ban on exports of broken rice and added a 20% duty on some rice varieties in September 2022. The severity of the situation compounded in July 2023 when India also banned exports of plain white long grain rice. The goal is to stabilize domestic rice availability and prices. However, these actions hold significant ramifications for the world since India’s rice exports contribute to a whopping 40% of the global market.
The Global Impact and Repercussions
The repercussions of India’s export restrictions are severe and far-reaching. Global rice prices have surged by 15-20%, marking their highest level in nearly 12 years. This has led to inflation biting deep in countries like the Philippines and Bangladesh, despite government efforts to control the market. In the U.S., rice farmers find themselves caught in the crossfire, grappling with volatile global rice prices and escalating production costs. To prevent a collapse of the domestic rice farming industry, Congress has stepped in, allocating $250 million in supplemental funding.
Looking Forward: The Need for Long-Term Solutions
While short-term relief might be on the horizon, with the Federal Reserve possibly easing monetary tightening, it is clear that long-term solutions are necessary. Climate-resilient agriculture and regional cooperation are crucial to address the ongoing crisis and prevent further food shortages. The international community warns of a global food price spiral, likening the situation to challenges faced during World War II. As the world navigates this crisis, the balance between national food security concerns and global dependencies on staple food exports like rice remains a delicate one, impacting not only the affordability of food but also the livelihoods of millions of farmers worldwide.

ISLAMABAD-Dr Hathal Homoud Alotaibi, President of International Islamic University continuing his efforts to take the university out of the financial crisis, managed to arrange more assistance from Saudi Arabia as salaries of the IIUI employees for December were managed through the Saudi Financial Support Fund.
According to IIUI officials, the total Budgetary Support in the Shape of “Support for Payment of Salary” from Saudi Arabia to IIUI = 818 Million PKR. This includes Budget Support for F/Y 2022-23 and payment of arrears & allowances. Also, Payment of Salary for December 2023 = 300 Million PKR.
In addition, Budgetary Support in the Shape of “Support for University Development Projects” makes a total of 86 Million PKR in this regard.
Since his joining in 2020, Dr. Hathal Homoud through his reforms in the light of the strategic plan has led the university to manage salaries, arrears and developmental projects through Saudi funding. Moreover, a grand mosque during his tenure has already been approved by the Saudi government (with an estimated cost of about $32 million) at the new campus of the university.
Dr. Hathal has once again reiterated his resolve to take the university out of the financial crisis and assured that academic excellence shall remain a top priority.
IIUI Rector, Dr. Samina Malik while thanking the Saudi Government for the continuous support of the university has said that the university is an omen of the strong bond between both brother countries.
She said the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques has always been generous to support IIUI.
She added that the whole IIUI community is thankful to Saudi Arabia for financial assistance to the university.

Ireland’s Economy to Remain Robust in 2024: Finance Minister McGrath
Optimism surrounds the strength of Ireland’s economy in 2024, as forecasted by the country’s Finance Minister, Michael McGrath. McGrath, in an interview with the Business Post, stated that despite recent challenges, the Irish economy is anticipated to remain robust in the forthcoming year. The minister’s confidence stems from the expected easing of inflationary pressures and the implementation of measures supportive of growth.
McGrath’s Economic Forecast
McGrath predicts a strong Irish economy in 2024, with an official growth projection of 1% to 3%. Despite global headwinds, McGrath confidently asserts that the country’s finances, specifically income tax and VAT closely tied to the domestic economy, are projected to perform well in the upcoming months. Consequently, the state’s finances are anticipated to end the year in surplus.
Economist’s Viewpoint
Corroborating McGrath’s outlook, Economist John Fitzgerald predicts a positive economic scenario for Irish people in 2024. He anticipates an increase in wages and a decrease in inflation, which he expects to fall to 3 per cent or even less. Concurrently, wages are predicted to rise by 5 per cent, boosting the domestic economy as the average person finds themselves better off and continues to spend.
Key Indicators of Optimism
Key indicators supporting McGrath’s optimism include record employment, falling national debt, a large budget surplus, and increasing housing output. These encouraging factors are expected to help keep Ireland’s economy robust in 2024, despite considerable external risks such as weaker foreign demand, rising commodity prices, and global conflicts. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) also predicts a soft landing for Ireland’s economy, praising its remarkable resilience in the face of consecutive shocks.

ISLAMABAD- The Ministry of Law and Justice has submitted its reply before the Islamabad High Court (IHC) giving its opinion in the case related to the appointment of the Chairman of Press Council of Pakistan (PCP).
In this matter, a single bench of IHC comprising Justice Arbab Mohammad Tahir sought the opinion questioning the President’s discretion following a petition filed by Arshad Khan Jadoon, who challenged President Dr Arif Alvi’s “biased discretion” to reject the Prime Minister’s advice and discard the selection process for the PCP chairman “on a mere whim”.
The case started after the app ointment initially made by the previous Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government, where former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif, with the federal cabinet’s approval, had recommended Jadoon for the post. However, President Alvi disregarded this advice and instead appointed another candidate, Dr G.M. Chaudhry.
According to the Presidency, President Alvi had received the prime minister’s advice for Jadoon’s appointment, even though the law made it clear that president was the appointing authority.
In its reply submitted to the IHC, the Presidency referred to Section 6(1) of the PCP Ordinance 2002, which says: “The Council shall consist of 19 members including the Chairman. The Chairman shall be appointed by the President of Pakistan in his person qualified to be judge of the Supreme Court.”
The reply said that this legal provision “explicitly states that the chairman shall be appointed by the president in his discretion and not on the advice of the prime minister”. It said that the President conducted interviews of three candidates, including petitioner Jadoon, on Aug 8 and appointed Dr G.M. Chaudhry as PCP chairman, finding him as the “most suitable candidate and the decision was conveyed to the prime minister”.
However, the law ministry opined that “the legal question of the manner in which the President exercises authority under a law when he has been appointed as persona designate was adjudicated in the judgement of the Islamabad High Court”. The verdict reported in the PLD 2020 states that if a power, duty, or function is conferred under a statute on the president, and it is not in the nature of adjudicatory or quasi-judicial power, then the president is mandated to act on the prime minister’s advice.
The ministry said that “keeping in view of settled principle in the judgement supra, in terms of Article 48(1) of the Constitution, the President in instant case, in performance of its functions, is bound to act on and in accordance with the advice of the Prime Minister”.
It said that “the exercise of discretion under Section 6(1) of the Press Council of Pakistan Ordinance, 2002, is beyond the scope of the presidential power under Article 48(2) of the Constitution which provides that “the President shall act in his discretion in respect of any matter in respect of which he is empowered by the Constitution to do so”.
According to the law ministry, even though President Alvi was empowered to exercise discretion for appointing the PCP chairman, the relevant section was “in conflict” with Article 48(2) of the Constitution.
As a result, the law ministry invalidated Dr Chaudhry’s appointment by the president, asserting that it was not in accordance with the prime minister’s advice. The Ministry suggested that the prime minister could advise the president again, who would then be bound to act accordingly within 10 days.
The law ministry also mentioned that the Ministry of Information could re-initiate the appointment process.
The vacancy for the PCP chairman arose in July 2019, and despite efforts by both the PTI and PDM governments, the appointment process remained inconclusive. The selection board’s assessment had originally scored Jadoon highest among the three shortlisted candidates, leading to the current legal contention.

President Museveni Highlights Factory Impact on Uganda’s Economy, Warns Against Corruption
In his end-of-year address to the nation, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni of Uganda shed light on the significant impact of factories on the country’s employment and economy. According to the President, more than 839,000 individuals are currently employed in the sector, demonstrating the potential of industrial growth to foster employment opportunities and stimulate economic development.
Factory Influx as an Economic Booster
President Museveni underscored the influx of factories into Uganda as a significant development for the country’s economy. The burgeoning industrial sector is not only providing employment to hundreds of thousands of Ugandans but also adding to the nation’s economic resilience.
The Scourge of Corruption
However, the President also pointed out a major obstacle to this growth – corruption. He specifically highlighted the problem of individuals demanding bribes from entrepreneurs in exchange for land or operational licenses. This form of corruption, according to the President, is proving to be a significant deterrent to the establishment and expansion of factories.
Addressing Corruption for Economic Growth
Museveni’s remarks underscore the need to tackle corruption to fully leverage the potential benefits of industrial growth in Uganda. By curbing corrupt practices, Uganda can attract more entrepreneurs and investors to establish factories, leading to more job creation and a boost in economic development.
In conclusion, President Museveni’s end-of-year address highlighted the vital role of factories in Uganda’s economy and job market and the need to combat corruption to unlock their full potential. As the country heads into the new year, it is clear that tackling corruption will be key to further unleashing Uganda’s economic potential.

Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II to step down from throne on Jan. 14
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II announced Sunday that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik.
The queen, who is Europe’s longest-reigning living monarch, announced during her New Year’s speech that she would step down on Jan. 14th, which is the anniversary of her own accession to the throne at age 31 following the death of her father, King Frederik IX.
Margrethe, 83, said the back surgery she underwent in early 2023 led to “thoughts about the future” and when to pass on the responsibilities of the crown to her son. “I have decided that now is the right time,” she said in her speech.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen paid tribute to her in a statement, offering a “heartfelt thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for her lifelong dedication and tireless efforts for the Kingdom.”
Margrethe is the “epitome of Denmark” Frederiksen’s statement read, and “throughout the years has put words and feelings into who we are as a people and as a nation.”
The 6-foot-tall (1.82-meters-tall), chain-smoking Margrethe has been one of the most popular public figures in Denmark, where the monarch’s role is largely ceremonial. She often walked the streets of Copenhagen virtually unescorted and won the admiration of Danes for her warm manners and for her talents as a linguist and designer.
A keen skier, she was a member of a Danish women’s air force unit as a princess, taking part in judo courses and endurance tests in the snow. Margrethe remained tough even as she grew older. In 2011, at age 70, she visited Danish troops in southern Afghanistan wearing a military jumpsuit.
As monarch, she crisscrossed the country and regularly visited Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, the two semi-independent territories which are part of the Danish Realm, and was met everywhere by cheering crowds.
Denmark has Europe’s oldest ruling monarchy, which traces its line back to the Viking king Gorm the Old, who died in 958. Although Magrethe is head of state, the Danish Constitution strictly ruled out her involvement in party politics.
Yet the queen was clearly well-versed in law and knew the contents of the legislation she was called upon to sign.
She received training in French and English from her earliest years, as well as Swedish from her mother. In addition to archaeology, she studied philosophy, political science and economics at universities in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Cambridge along with the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne in Paris.
Ever since his birth on May 26, 1968, Frederik André Henrik Christian has been the heir to the Danish throne.
He is the oldest son of Queen Margrethe and her late French-born husband, Prince Henrik, who died February 2018. Frederik, 55, has a younger brother, Prince Joachim.
Since the age of 18, he has served as regent whenever his mother was outside the kingdom and carried out official duties, shaking hands with thousands and receiving foreign dignitaries.
The queen’s announcement made up only a few sentences at the end of her wide-ranging New Year’s speech which reflected on the “turbulence and upheaval in the world” amid the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the climate crisis.
But she also thanked her nation’s people for “the warmth and hospitality I meet with everywhere in Denmark.”
While lavishing accolades on the queen, the prime minister also looked to the future.
“In the new year, Crown Prince Frederik will be proclaimed king. Crown Princess Mary will become queen. The kingdom will have a new regent and a new royal couple,” he said in his statement. “We can look forward to all of this in the knowledge that they are ready for the responsibility and the task.”

Andre Johnson leads the NFL in receptions (65). He leads the NFL in receiving yards (752). He also has four touchdown catches, and averages 11.6 yards per catch. He went to the Pro Bowl once (after the '04 season), and could be heading there again.
With the position he plays, and the numbers he produces, Johnson should be as recognizable as Dallas' Terrell Owens, Cincinnati's Chad Johnson or Oakland's Randy Moss.
Of course, what those receivers all have in common is that they are some of the most outspoken players in the NFL. Johnson, despite his gaudy statistics, continues to remain humble, rarely drawing attention to himself when he removes his cleats.
The days of Johnson working in relative national anonymity soon may be over, though, especially if he keeps up his current body of work. Nevertheless, No. 80 is still largely unknown outside of Houston.
A perfect example is what happened Saturday. Once the Texans' plane landed in Jacksonville around 2:30 p.m. ET, four buses drove the team to its hotel south of the city. The players usually have a few hours to themselves before dinner is served and meetings begin.
Down the street from the hotel was a Dave and Buster's, where several college football games were playing on televisions around the bar area. As I sat and watched the Florida-South Carolina game with my colleague, Carmine Pirone, Johnson and cornerback Dexter McCleon walked into the restaurant and sat down to watch the game on another screen.
Despite the sizeable crowd watching the game, Johnson and McCleon were able to sit and eat undisturbed. Aside from the waiter, not one person approached Johnson, or even seemed to recognize him as a professional athlete. Johnson and McCleon didn't do anything to draw attention to themselves, either
Compared to their basketball or baseball counterparts, fewer football players are public figures simply because they wear helmets in the game. But it still amazed me yesterday that Johnson didn't garner any attention given the season he's having as well as the fact that he played football in Florida at the University of Miami.
Like I said, I don't imagine that being the case too much longer. Johnson's star is rising higher each week, and as the Texans improve in the win-loss column, Johnson will receive even more accolades and media attention. Soon he could be on the cover of video games and magazines.
Just don't expect Johnson's personality to change. He's happy just going about his job and trying to help the team win games. The spotlight isn't something that Johnson covets, but he might have to get used to it. **

President Museveni Tackles Factory Wage Harmonization Amid Workers’ Concerns
On a recent occasion, President Museveni spoke openly about the pressing issue of workers’ salaries in factories, underlining the necessity for a balanced relationship between employers and their workforce. His comments shone a spotlight on the ongoing debate surrounding fair remuneration and the crucial task of maintaining equilibrium between workers’ aspirations and the financial capacities of their employers.
Striving for Balance in Wage Distribution
The President acknowledged the growing restlessness among workers for better wages. He concurred that they are entitled to decent salaries, particularly when their employers are reaping significant profits. This acknowledgment is not just a nod toward the workers’ demands but also a call to action for employers to review and reassess their wage distribution strategies.
But this discussion goes beyond mere wage debates. It represents a broader conversation about workers’ rights and adequate pay, highlighting the economic dynamics between profit-making and wage distribution. While the necessity for businesses to make a profit is undeniable, the question remains: Are workers getting their fair share of the pie?
Economic Dynamics and Workers’ Rights
The President’s comments have brought to the surface the underlying issues that often go unnoticed – the economic dynamics that influence the wage structure and the rights of workers. This is a wake-up call for all stakeholders to reevaluate their stance and strive for a harmonious relationship that benefits both parties. After all, the success of any business relies heavily on the efforts of its workers, and it’s only fair that their contribution is adequately rewarded.
In conclusion, President Museveni’s address on wage harmonization is a step in the right direction, shedding light on the struggles of factory workers and the need for equilibrium in wage distribution. It’s a call for factory owners to ensure that profit-making does not overshadow the fundamental rights and needs of their workforce.

STANFORD, Calif. -- Freshman guard Kanaan Carlyle scored 25 points, Spencer Jones added 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting and Stanford surprised No. 4 Arizona 100-82 in a Pac-12 matchup Sunday.
Andrej Stojakovic scored 16 points and center Maxime Raynaud had 12 points and seven rebounds for the Cardinal (6-6, 1-1).
Caleb Love led Arizona (10-3, 1-1) with 23 points and center Oumar Ballo added 12 points and seven rebounds.
The victory was Stanford's first over a ranked opponent since beating Arizona last season and its eighth over a ranked team since 2020.
Stanford raced to an early lead, scoring the first seven points. After Ballo made a layup to bring the Wildcats within a point at the 6:56 mark of the first half, Stanford went on a 21-7 run for a 43-28 lead with under three minutes left in the first half.
The Cardinal got a big boost from both of its freshman guards off the bench in the first half. Carlyle scored 13 of his 25 points in the first half while making all four of his 3-point shots. Stojakovic scored nine points and grabbed two rebounds.
Arizona struggled to find its rhythm in the first half, shooting 41.2% from the field and 25% from long distance.
Stanford led 44-35 at halftime.
Stanford's hot shooting continued in the second half. Jones scored 11 of the Cardinal's first 16 points after halftime.
Arizona closed to within 11 points at 80-69 when Ballo made a second-chance layup with just over seven minutes left in the game.
A layup by Jones gave Stanford a 95-75 lead with 2:57 left in the second half for its largest advantage of the game.
Next up for Stanford is a home game against UCLA on Wednesday. Arizona hosts Colorado on Thursday.

President Ruto’s Transformative Initiative: A Leap Towards Inclusive Economic Growth
In a significant development that marks a leap towards inclusive economic growth, President William Ruto of Kenya announced a transformative initiative aimed at revolutionizing the housing landscape in the country. This program, introduced in 2023, unveils a tenant purchase scheme with remarkably accessible terms, enabling even small-scale traders and motorcycle taxi operators to own a home by paying an affordable monthly amount at a low-interest rate.
Demolition for Development
The government, as part of this ambitious initiative, leveled the residence of West Kenya Sugar Company Chairman Jaswant Rai in Kakamega County to pave the way for the construction of 200 housing units. Despite the initial shock of displacement, the scheme promises to generate over 3,500 jobs and offers a silver lining to hundreds of residents, including civil servants and judges, left homeless by the demolition.
A Paradigm Shift in National Policy
In a national address from State Lodge Nakuru, President Ruto emphasized the paradigm shift in handling national issues. The government’s approach emphasized bold and decisive decisions, including cutting expenditure by up to Sh 400 billion to reduce borrowing and enhancing tax revenues by Sh 600 billion. The President also highlighted the success of the housing program, which provides homeownership and job creation through affordable housing schemes for various income groups.
Targeting Land Grabbers
As part of the affordable housing project in Isiolo County, the government is targeting individuals who have encroached on government land. The scheme is set to build 10,000 units across the county, providing employment opportunities and decent housing for the less privileged. The construction work is already in progress with 200 units and eight blocks under construction.
Digitizing Payments
In line with the President’s directive, the Kenyan government has migrated all digital payment channels to a single Playbill number, enhancing revenue collection, minimizing the cost of collection, and improving service delivery. This move aligns with the government’s affordable housing program, offering convenience, accessibility, transparency, accountability, affordability, and flexibility to Kenyans.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield said X-rays did not reveal any fractures after taking a late hit to the ribs in the Bucs' 23-13 loss to the New Orleans Saints Sunday.
"Ribs don't feel too great right now," Mayfield said. "But we'll do some more exams to see what's really bugging me, but don't have anything right now so it's just sore."
The hit came on a two-point conversion attempt after a 47-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Chris Godwin with 1:47 to go. Mayfield had left the pocket and safety Tyrann Mathieu was giving a roughing the passer penalty when he slammed into Mayfield's chest right after the ball got out.
"It was one of those late scramble plays that, last second, throwing the ball to Chris obviously, they're gonna take hits," Mayfield said. "It's a physical team. They played that way today. They hit us right in the mouth from the get-go."
Mayfield continued to play and did not leave the game. In fact, he had to replay the two-point conversion because Godwin had an illegal touch pass, with those penalties offsetting each other. On the second attempt, Mayfield looked for wide receiver Mike Evans on a slant route but instead it was intercepted by Paulson Adebo.
After the play, Mayfield was wincing and in considerable pain as he knelt down on the sideline. He was seen moving slowly in the locker room after the game.
"He went back out there," Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles said. "Obviously it was a late hit. I've got to look at the film again to see what happened, by the went back out there after he got hurt. So we'll see how he feels."
Mayfield and his teammates said all week that they were preparing for a physical matchup, between the Saints' style of play and with the playoffs on the line. A win would have clinched the NFC South title for the Bucs, while the Saints were facing postseason elimination, and instead kept their own playoff hopes alive.
Bucs left tackle Tristan Wirfs expressed frustration over his quarterback twice taking late hits against the same team. In Week 4, Mayfield was bent backwards by defensive end Cam Jordan and defensive tackle Nathan Shepherd and Shepherd drew a roughing the passer penalty, with Mayfield calling the hit "pretty scary" afterwards.
"[No.] 93 [Shepherd] did it the first game and Tyrann Mathieu did it this game. And he's chirping at the ref saying he didn't," Wirfs said. "But that's part of football. Bake's a tough guy. A tough bastard. I don't know. I can't say anything else about it."
The loss puts the Bucs in a "must win" situation next week at the Carolina Panthers -- to win their third-consecutive division title and to clinch a spot in the playoffs. Mayfield spent the first seven games of the season last year in Carolina before he was released, signed by the Los Angeles Rams, and then the Bucs this offseason, for a one-year deal for $4 million with incentives that drive it to $8.5 million.
"The guys in the locker room are great," Mayfield said of his former team. "For other reasons, I'll be extremely motivated to play. Obviously the division is on the line. There's many things. Everyone in our locker room should be motivated -- not just me."

Is Anderson Cooper Single? Here's What We Know About the 'New Year's Eve Live' Star's Relationship Status
You might be wondering if Anderson Cooper has anyone special to kiss when the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve.
The 56-year-old New Year’s Eve Live cohost will keep people across the globe entertained alongside Andy Cohen as we count down the start of 2024.
But what’s going on with his love life?
Read more about Anderson Cooper’s relationship status…
As recently as September 2023, Anderson told People that he was not in a relationship. He added that he wasn’t looking for one at the moment, either.
He went as far as to say that dating was “really not” a priority for him.
While he is single, Anderson coparents his sons Wyatt, 3, and Sebastian, 22 months, with his ex Benjamin Maisani.
The couple split in 2018, but Benjamin has since adopted both Wyatt and Sebastian, and the exes live together to raise the young boys.
By the sounds of it, that’s more than enough for Anderson: “This is the best time in my life. There is no doubt about it,” he told the outlet, adding, “I feel moments of such bliss, humor and gentleness and sheer delight that it stuns me.”
Earlier this year, a question about Anderson‘s sex life made him spot out his drink.
If you were wondering, find out why Anderson and Andy have never dated.

Dr. Akbar Niazi Teaching Hospital (ANTH) and Islamabad Medical & Dental College (IMDC) in collaboration with the Pakistan Army and Civil Administration organized a medical camp in Forward Kahuta, Haveli District, Azad Jammu & Kashmir.
The objective of this medical camp was to provide essential healthcare services without charging fee to the local people who are often deprived of medical facilities.
A dedicated team of more than 20 medical professionals, including medical consultants and nursing staff, led by the Director Hospital Col. (R) Dr. Ghulam Mujtaba Abbasi along with the other members of the management, including Head of IMDC Admin Capt. (R) Muhammad Sheraz, set up the camp.
The medical team provided basic consultations, treatments, screenings, medicines and awareness about preventive care. More than 500 patients visited the camp and benefited from different specialty services relating to General Medicine, General Surgery, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics and Gynecology. ANTH’s portable ultrasound machine carried out screening of female patients.
Awareness about the preventive measures included exclusive sessions on breast cancer self-screening methods for the female villagers by the hospital’s female doctors. “Along with providing exceptional healthcare services, our focus remains on creating and spreading awareness about preventable health complications,” Imran Ali Ghouri, Head of the ANTH Communications said while commenting on the camp’s positive impact.
Col. (R) Dr. Ghulam Mujtaba Abbasi thanked the Pak Army and Civil Administration for facilitating in the smooth organization and conduct of the camp.
The local population also expressed their gratitude towards Dr. Akbar Niazi Teaching Hospital and the Pakistan Army for making essential healthcare services accessible for them without the burden of financial constraints.

Resurgence of Tourism Leads to Overcrowding in Popular Destinations
As pandemic restrictions ease globally, tourism’s significant upswing, particularly in renowned destinations like Amsterdam, Bali, and Venice, has led to overcrowding, straining local public resources. This sudden influx of tourists is stretching the infrastructure and services designed for the local population to its limit, posing environmental degradation risks and potentially diminishing residents’ quality of life. Such tourism hotspots now face a challenging task of balancing economic benefits derived from tourism with the sustainability and well-being of their societies.
Overcrowding and Its Impact on Locals
Dubrovnik, Croatia’s most-touristy city, welcomed 36 overnight tourists for every resident in 2019, making it a top destination for holidaymakers. However, the city now grapples with congestion, escalating house prices, and overcrowding caused by tourism, exerting immense pressure on local communities. Concerned locals are rallying against over-tourism and demanding a government-led strategy to address the mounting problem.
Steps Towards Sustainable Tourism
Venice is addressing overcrowding by banning tourist groups larger than 25 people and prohibiting the use of loudspeakers in the historic centre and surrounding islands. The city council aims to balance residents, workers, and visitors’ needs while discouraging unauthorised tour guides. Measures to limit cheap souvenir stores’ expansion are also in place, with plans to introduce a tourist tax for day trippers. However, the dwindling number of permanent residents in the historic centre, transformed into ‘a tourist village,’ raises serious concerns.
Regulating Tourism and Preserving Heritage
Venice has announced strict measures, including a ban on loudspeakers and limiting tourist groups to 25 people, to tackle mass tourism’s challenges. The city is proactively ensuring the sustainability and preservation of its cultural heritage, with nearly 13 million tourists visiting the 7.6 square kilometer city in 2019. A trial €5 fee for daily visitors and a ban on large cruise ships from the historic center via the Giudecca canal in 2021 are other steps towards addressing environmental concerns and preserving the city’s foundations.
Such popular tourist destinations like Amsterdam, Bali, and Venice are experiencing a post-pandemic surge in visitors, leading to a strain on public resources and infrastructures. With the global travel sector predicted to generate $9.5 trillion in 2023, issues like noise pollution, traffic, and strain on public resources are on the rise. Authorities have introduced initiatives and restrictions, including increased tourist taxes and caps at popular attractions, to address overtourism. However, the challenge of balancing tourism’s economic benefits with environmental sustainability and local residents’ quality of life continues.

The 55-year-old Bravo icon has recently provided some insight into his love life, and we can tell you everything you want to know about if he is dating anyone.

ISLAMABAD-Pakistan earned $892.972 million by providing different Information Technology (IT) services to various countries during the first four months of the current fiscal year 2023-24.

Revolutionizing Retirement: Ireland’s Major Pension Reform
As midnight strikes on January 1, 2024, a major pension reform will come into effect in Ireland, reshaping the landscape of retirement contributions and benefits for its citizens. The reform provides individuals with enhanced flexibility in claiming their State Pension (Contributory), allowing them to defer their pension claim from the age of 66 up to age 70. This unprecedented move could result in an actuarially adjusted higher payment rate, augmenting the financial security for those in their twilight years.
Reimagining Retirement: The New Pension Reform
A key component of this reform is the opportunity for people to extend their working life, thereby enhancing their social insurance record. For those who embarked on their career path later in life, the reform opens up the possibility of making additional contributions to qualify for the State Pension (Contributory). This recalibration of the pension system is expected to encourage a higher rate of State Pension payment upon retirement, making it a potentially transformative initiative for the future retirees of Ireland.
The Vision Behind The Change
Minister for Social Protection, Heather Humphreys, has been instrumental in spearheading this change. Humphreys emphasizes that the underlying aim of this reform is to provide citizens with more choice and flexibility in their retirement planning. The new policy does not impose but rather proposes. People can still opt to receive their pension at 66, or they can choose to continue working. The reform merely adds another option to delay the pension claim, thereby enhancing their benefits. This initiative is seen as a significant stride towards adapting the pension system to cater to the diverse needs and life trajectories of individuals in today’s society.
More Than Just A Reform
This pension reform is not an isolated change but forms part of a broader spectrum of tax amendments and measures that will be implemented as part of Budget 2024. This includes an increase in income tax credits, a rise in the standard rate tax cut-off point, and reductions in USC tax rates. The budget also highlights an increase in the national minimum wage, changes to VAT rates, and additional supports for businesses. The reform, thus, is a cog in the wheel of Ireland’s comprehensive financial revamp, aimed at fostering economic resilience and inclusivity.

Kelsea Ballerini Reflects on Healing & Falling in Love Again in 2023
Kelsea Ballerini is reflecting on 2023.
This year, the 30-year-old country music star released her new EP Rolling Up the Welcome Mat, which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Album.
Kelsea also began a new chapter in her love life. Following her 2022 divorce from Morgan Evans, the “Mountain With A View” singer started dating Chase Stokes.
Keep reading to find out how Kelsea reflected on 2023…
On Sunday (December 31), Kelsea took to Instagram to share her thoughts on 2023.
“Three hundred and sixty five days,” she began. “Shouting on stages and them finally shouting back. Letting skin replace sequins. Sleepless nights rendering new dreams, in a little new old house with defiantly pink walls. Buzzing on table wine in ravello. chef says you dont add salt when cooking muscles, just lemon and herbs, says that’s how you honor the taste of the ocean.”
Kelsea continued, “Stretching for height, not contorting for approval. learning the damn difference. Following the breadcrumbs of life to the next right thing. Still sometimes getting it wrong. Still sometimes getting it right. Crying. So much crying. Stained cheeks in front of strangers, guttural exhales to those safest. Squeezing lemon onto oysters, blushing at the salt air southern city i have a new crush on.”
She then elaborated on “healing the past and falling in love in the present happening in lockstep, unabashedly existing in the art of starting over.”
Kelsea reflected on her musical journey in 2023.
“Writing music like nothing is off limits, earning my artistic freedom. never letting that paint dry,” she said.
Likely in reference to her new relationship with Chase, Kelsea wrote, “leaving his boots by the front door to let me know he’s coming back to me.”
Kelsea concluded her post with a hopeful statement and a message for her fans!
“I’m coming back to me too. Three hundred and sixty five days… happy new year’s eve, friends. stay safe,” she wrote.

At a get-together, one meets various kinds of people. While some are described as the ‘life of the party’, others prefer to maintain a low profile and interact only with a select few at the event. Astrology suggests that one’s zodiac sign has much to do with this behaviour. Based on their inherent traits, a few sun signs are branded recluses, while the others are the social butterflies on the zodiac wheel. Let us learn more about the most popular zodiac/astrological signs.
How is popularity determined in zodiacs?
As one delves deeper into astrology’s nuanced and somewhat mysterious field, one tends to look beyond the zodiac signs to understand the different layers that make up the zodiac wheel. One such concept is that of polarity or modality. They represent the yin and yang, creating a balance between the masculine and feminine energies among the signs.
They are opposites when it comes to traits but blend in beautifully well when paired together. These are also known as modalities that divide the 12 signs into groups of three: cardinal, fixed and mutable.
Besides the modalities, congenial elements also play a significant role in deciding the key characteristics and traits of the zodiac. Talkative or quiet, emotional or practical, chirpy or intense, the elements fire, earth, water and air that are attributed to each sun or moon sign determine these qualities and quirks.
For example, a cardinal fire sign, like an Aries, naturally comes across as confident and authoritative and has no issues talking to new people, while a mutable water sign Pisces will be wary of loud energy and would prefer peace over people.
The most popular zodiac signs on the wheel
Gemini
Best described as chirpy, breezy and entertaining, this air sign is meant to bond with the other zodiacs and is the most common zodiac sign to be called popular. They love an active and happening social life and are never tired of bouncing from one social gathering to another. Their unlimited batteries make them uber popular amongst everyone. Additionally, they are intelligent and charismatic personalities to work up any kind of crowd. This mutable sign is extremely adaptable and easy-going, which is a quality many appreciate.
They are ruled by the planet of communication, Mercury, and are blessed with a gift for the gab. Symbolised by the Twins, they represent duality in the zodiac and may seem a bit diplomatic from time to time.
Libra
Again an air sign like Gemini, Libra is sort of a people-pleaser and the most popular astrological sign. They love to be liked by all and, hence, are on their best behaviour publicly. This Venusian sign is the most charming one amongst all the other sun signs, which certainly makes it likeable. Symbolised by a weighing scale, they seek balance without offending the opposing parties and are non-confrontational.
Sagittarius
The last of fire signs, Sagittarius, is the most lively and adventurous sign of all. The reason is that it is ruled by the planet of abundance, growth and thrill — Jupiter. They love to take up adventures, sign up for spontaneous plans and create a great vibe for everyone to have a good time at a party. Symbolised by an archer, they have sharp tongues and can be brutally honest with their loved ones. Since it comes from a great place, their advice is often valued, making them quite popular.
Leo
Bright, optimistic with an infectious joie de vivre, Leos are a fire sign ruled by the Sun. There is never a dull moment with them around because they love to live like kings and make sure they treat their loved ones with grand gestures. More than anything else, they value loyalty above everyone and everything else. Leos love to pamper, protect and cherish everyone who is in their inner circle but can be uncaring if they think that the other is disrespecting them or has breached their trust.
But all said and done. Leos, symbolised by the lion, is known to throw parties with lavish experiences and gifts for their guests. This is one reason why they are among the most loved zodiac signs.
Scorpio
You love them, you hate them, but you dare ignore them. Liking a Scorpio is an acquired taste but them liking you back is a sheer stroke of luck or maybe your good karma. Fiercely protective of their loved ones and loyal to a fault, it is very easy to get on the bad books of these intense water signs symbolised by a scorpion.
But beneath that intimidating exterior, they have a soft core which is filled with empathy, nurturing nature and emotional depth. To earn a Scorpio’s trust and love is highly fulfilling. Their intuitive intelligence and unbridled passion make them one of the most popular astrological signs.

ISLAMABAD-An educationist has emphasized the importance of purposeful activities to keep children intellectually stimulated during the winter breaks.
“Winter breaks are not just about leisure; they are a valuable time to enhance a child’s cognitive abilities and creativity,” Dr Ayesha told a private news channel, urging the parents to consider activities that foster both academic and personal development of kids.
She suggested incorporating structured learning opportunities into the break, including reading challenges, where kids explore diverse genres or even take on writing projects to express their thoughts. She stressed the importance of family engagement in educational games as it not only reinforces learning but also strengthens the parent-child bond.
Board games, puzzles, and even strategic video games can be valuable when enjoyed together. Sadia also recommended hands-on learning of children through experiments and projects. “Simple science experiments rel
ated to winter phenomena can ignite curiosity. From creating a mini snowstorm in a jar to studying the science behind frost, these activities stimulate a child’s interest in the world around them.”
Similarly, she said art and music contribute significantly to cognitive and emotional development. “Encourage children to explore their creative side through winter-themed art projects or learning a musical instrument during the break,” she noted.
The educationist concluded by advising parents to view winter vacations as a golden opportunity for enriching a child’s overall development. By combining structured learning, interactive technology, family engagement, hands-on experiments, and creative pursuits, children can make the most of their break while laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

Sudden Price Surge: A Popular SUV’s $16,000 Price Hike Shakes Auto Industry
In a significant turn of events in the auto industry, a popular Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) has experienced a drastic price alteration, with a $16,000 hike in its price range. This shift in pricing strategy has drawn the attention of consumers, industry insiders, and market analysts, who are meticulously dissecting the impact of such price modifications on demand, production costs, and competitive dynamics in the automotive market.
Sweeping Price Adjustments: A New Trend?
Major automakers like Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra, Hyundai, among others, have announced plans to elevate their vehicle prices in January 2024. Mahindra has increased the prices of its Thar and XUV700 SUVs for the third time within a year. The popular Fisker Ocean SUV, too, has seen a remarkable price jump of $16,000. The precise reasons behind this price hike remain undisclosed, but industry experts speculate the surge in manufacturing costs, supply chain complications, market demand fluctuations, and feature upgrades as potential factors.
Consumer and Market Response
The price hike has sparked unease among consumers and stirred up the industry. The electric vehicle (EV) market, in particular, is witnessing a heating up, with a 300% surge in EV deliveries. The rise in share values of competitors like Rivian Automotive is indicative of the evolving dynamics of the automotive industry. The price hike and its potential implications for future EVs and the auto industry are under ongoing speculation.
Looking Ahead: Market Implications and Future Prospects
With Citroen India announcing a price hike of 2.5-3% across its range from 1 January, 2023, and the 2020 Toyota Fortuner set to witness a 10% price increase due to enhanced features and mechanical improvements, it seems the trend of price adjustments is gaining traction. Despite the apprehensions, the market is poised for further shifts, with automakers aiming to balance the fine line between cost-effectiveness and feature-rich offerings. The impact of these changes on consumer behavior, market competition, and the overall industry landscape will be worth keeping an eye on.

Lily Gladstone Explains How Her Pronouns Connect to Her Indigenous Heritage
Lily Gladstone is opening up about her preferred pronouns.
If you weren’t aware, the 37-year-old actress is of Blackfeet and Nez Perce heritage. For the first decade of her life, she lived on the Blackfeet reservation in Montana.
Lily recently explained how her Native American roots have impacted her views on gender and pronouns.
Keep reading to find out more…
“I remember being 9 years old and just being a little disheartened, seeing how often a lot of my boy cousins were misgendered because they wore their hair long,” Lily told People.
“It happens to a lot of kids, I think, especially Native boys leaving a community where long hair is celebrated [and then] just kind of getting teased for it, so I remember back then being like, everybody should just be they.”
The Killers of the Flower Moon star continued, “And in most Native languages, most Indigenous languages, Blackfeet included, there are no gendered pronouns. There is no he/she, there’s only they. So Blackfeet, we don’t have gendered pronouns, but our gender is implied in our name. But even that’s not binary,”
Lily concluded that her choice of pronouns “is partly a way of decolonizing gender for myself.”
The star also addressed the topic of gendered categories at awards shows.
“I think it’s really cool that we’re seeing ‘performer’ and we’re seeing everybody brought in together. I do feel that historically having gendered categories has helped from keeping women actors from a lot of erasure because I think historically people just tend to honor male performances more,” she said.
Lily then questioned the purpose of gendered terms in the film industry.
“I know a lot of actresses who are very proud of the word ‘actress’ or are very proud of being an actress,” she said. “I don’t know, maybe it’s just an overly semantic thing where I’m like, if there’s not a ‘director-ess,’ then there shouldn’t be actresses. There’s no ‘producer-ess,’ there’s no ‘cinematographer-ess.’ ”
If you missed it, Lily Gladstone revealed that she used her allowance on a Leonardo DiCaprio movie VHS 25 years before co-starring with him in Killers of the Flower Moon!

- Supply chains disruptions have repeatedly come under the spotlight in recent years.
- An ongoing disruption in the Red Sea due to Houthi attacks on vessels is the latest risk to supply chains.
- Geopolitics, climate change, and shipping incidents all pose risks to supply chains.
Supply chains are the backbone of global trade, but they've been largely taken for granted — until recently. Over the past few years, supply chain woes have repeatedly come into the spotlight.
The vital link came under the spotlight when President Donald Trump launched a trade war against China in 2018, prompting investors to reassess their reliance on the factory of the world.
Since then, global integrated supply chain systems just seem to keep getting disrupted — be it by the COVID-19 pandemic or Russia's war in Ukraine.
For decades, supply chains have been driven by a "just in time" model in which materials were moved right before they were needed. The model keeps business operations extremely efficient — but it also opens them up to risks should just one part of the system fail.
"While just-in-time supply chain strategies have been the 'go-to' for 40 years, you can only expect something held together by chewing gum and shoelaces to last so long," Nari Viswanathan, a senior director of supply chain strategy at Coupa, a business spend management platform, told Business Insider.
Viswanathan said "the world has been on a roller coaster that won't stop" over the last few years, which has in turn sent the world's supply chains into tailspin after tailspin.
Given that risks impacting supply chains are intertwined, they pose multifaceted risks to operations, Julie Gerdeman, the CEO of Everstream Analytics, a platform for supply-chain risk management, told BI.
Here are three key reasons why supply chains just seem to keep screwing up in recent years.
1. Heightened geopolitical tensions
Geopolitics are one of the biggest drivers of risks in fields ranging from economy to technology. Supply chains are no exception.
The issue first came to the fore in 2018, when Trump imposed high tariffs on a range of Chinese imports. It has become more amplified because of the tech rivalry between the US and China.
Examining ongoing conflicts in the Black Sea and Red Sea respectively shows how geopolitical conflicts affect global supply chains.
Russia's blockade of the Black Sea amid the war in Ukraine is preventing wheat and sunflower supplies from Ukraine from moving freely to other parts of the world.
As of December 21, the Red Sea — a vital trade route between Europe and Asia — is under siege by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in response to the Israel-Hamas war.
To avoid being caught in the Red Sea attacks, cargo-carrying ships are rerouting via the Cape of Good Hope around the southern tip of Africa — but that will prolong journeys.
Vessel volumes through the Suez Canal are down by over 40% in the week of December 17 from a week ago, supply chain platform project44 told BI. The transit times for ships that usually use the waterway are expected to increase by a minimum of seven to 14 days.
2. Climate change
In the summer of 2023, a historic drought affected rainfall that feeds into the Panama Canal, lowering the canal's water levels and limiting the number and weight of ships that can float on it. The drought was caused by the El Niño weather phenomenon and its warming effects, which were more severe in 2023 due to climate change.
The fall in water levels at the Panama Canal caused a buildup in the number of ships waiting to cross the waterway, increasing transit time and prompting some vessels to reroute through the Cape of Good Hope.
Roughly 40% of US container traffic passes through the Panama Canal. By late November, the wait time for some ships waiting to pass through the waterway was around 20 days — up from five to seven days in October.
"The low water levels at the Panama Canal are a clear example of the effects of climate change in rainfall and weather patterns across the globe, which causes a ripple effect through the supply chain," shipping giant Maersk told BI in September.
3. Shipping incidents
Ships transport 90% of the world's trade, and the vessels themselves just keep getting bigger and bigger.
With the increase in size, the risk that something goes very wrong also increases.
"A number of recurring themes have emerged in major incidents in recent years, many of which are a consequence of the increased size of vessels," Justus Heinrich, a shipping product leader at Allianz Commercial, a corporate insurer, wrote in a May 2022 report.
This is best exemplified by the case of the massive 1,312-foot Ever Given container ship, which ran aground and blocked the Suez Canal for six days in March 2021. The incident delayed about 16 million tons of cargo on hundreds of container ships at a time when COVID-19-related movement restrictions were already straining the global shipping system.
To be sure, the number of serious shipping accidents worldwide has declined in the longer term, Allianz wrote in its report. However, incidents involving large vessels — in particular container ships and large vehicle carriers — are resulting in disproportionately large losses.
In fact, the cost of responding to incidents and clean-up is typically many times the ship's value, per Allianz.
"Larger vessels mean larger losses," Rahul Khanna, the global head of marine risk consulting at Allianz, wrote in the report.

CHICAGO — Charges have been filed against a Chicago man accused of two armed robberies, a shooting and an attempted carjacking on the city’s West Side.
According to Chicago police, 22-year-old Damarreyah Muldrow, an Austin resident, is facing several felony charges including attempted first-degree murder, two counts of armed robbery, aggravated discharge of a firearm and attempted carjacking with a firearm.
Authorities say the charges stem from two separate incidents that allegedly unfolded in Austin on Nov. 25, and Dec. 10.
Officers say the first incident occurred in the 5400 block of West Washington Boulevard just before 12:30 p.m. when Muldrow allegedly robbed a 47-year-old woman at gunpoint.
The second incident allegedly unfolded in the same area at around 3:30 p.m. when Muldrow allegedly robbed a 34-year-old man at gunpoint and attempted to steal his car. Police say it was during this armed robbery that Muldrow allegedly fired a weapon, but nobody was injured.
Muldrow was taken into custody on Friday by members of the Vehicular Hijacking Task Force in the 100 block of North Lotus Avenue.
Muldrow appeared in court on Saturday for a detention hearing.

ISLAMABAD - The caretaker government on Sunday kept the prices of petrol and high speed diesel (HSD) unchanged for the first fortnightly of January 2024. However, the price of light diesel oil (LDO) has been jacked up by Rs 1.11 per litre, while the price of kerosene oil (SKO) has been decreased by Rs 2.19 per litre for the first fortnightly of January, effective from today. “Government of Pakistan has decided to maintain the current prices of Petrol and High Speed Diesel during the fortnight starting from 1st January, 2024, as recommended by Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA),” said a press release issued by the Finance Division.

World Bank Data Reveals Global Diaspora’s Impact on Economic and Social Landscapes
The World Bank’s recent release of data reveals that approximately 184 million individuals are living outside their country of nationality, a phenomenon known as the global diaspora. This diverse group of individuals is scattered across the globe, and interestingly, nearly half are residing in low- and middle-income countries. The ramifications of this diaspora are far-reaching, impacting economic, social, and political landscapes in both host countries and countries of origin.
The Economic Implications of the Global Diaspora
The presence of such a large number of people living abroad can significantly affect the economies of their host countries. For instance, they can contribute to labor markets and stimulate cultural exchanges. Take Nigeria as an example – the World Bank predicts that diaspora remittances into the country will surpass $20 billion by the end of the year, reflecting a 1.9% increase in remittances into the Sub-Saharan Africa region. These remittances, according to World Bank’s Global Director of the Social Protection and Jobs Global Practice, Iffath Sharif, and lead economist Dilip Ratha, can be leveraged for private capital mobilization to support development finance.
The Social Dynamics and Policy Implications
Social dynamics in host countries can also see a transformation due to the influence of the diaspora. Cultural exchanges and integration become key aspects of societal change. However, the countries left behind by these individuals aren’t immune to the effects either. A significant diaspora can result in a brain drain, or a shift in demographic compositions, that can affect the origin countries adversely. This necessitates policy discussions and decision-making processes related to immigration, integration, and international aid.
Reflecting Global Trends and Future Perspectives
The data released by the World Bank may mirror ongoing global trends such as migration due to economic opportunities, conflicts, or environmental factors. These trends are likely to shape future discussions and actions on immigration policies and international aid. For instance, the International Debt Report 2023 by the World Bank warns of financial risks confronting low and middle-income economies, with 28 countries now at high risk of debt distress. This situation calls for global attention and concerted efforts to address the mounting debt crisis and its implications on global migration trends. The diaspora’s role in contributing to their home countries’ economies, as seen in Nigeria, may also offer a glimmer of hope amidst these challenges.

CHICAGO — A Chicago man accused of fatally shooting a mother in front of her two children on the city’s West Side has been charged.
According to Chicago police, 44-year-old Kenneth Brown, a Near West Side resident, has been charged with one felony count of first-degree murder in connection with the shooting that left 34-year-old Maria Roque dead.
Authorities say Roque was killed while leaving her home near West Kinzie Street and North Long Avenue in Austin almost three weeks ago.
The fatal shooting happened shortly after Roque filed an order of protection against Brown.
Loved ones told WGN-TV that Roque had recently ended a relationship and called the police on her former boyfriend multiple times.
Brown was taken into custody by members of the Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force on Friday in the 3100 block of West Harrison Street.
Brown appeared in court on Saturday for a detention hearing.

Zambia’s Path Out of Poverty: High GDP Growth and Digital Transformation Amidst Debt Crisis
Anthony Mukwita, the former ambassador of Zambia to Germany, has recently proposed an ambitious economic strategy for his homeland. Mukwita is calling for Zambia to raise its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate to between seven and twelve percent, a significant increase that he believes is critical for combating the country’s widespread poverty.
Addressing Zambia’s Poverty Through Economic Growth
Mukwita sees this aggressive GDP growth as the key to lifting the majority of Zambia’s population out of abject poverty. While this assertion might initially seem overly optimistic, it reflects an increasingly common view among economists that substantial economic growth is the most effective way to reduce poverty in developing countries.
Fight Against Digital Divide: The Role of CDTCs
In parallel with this economic strategy, the Zambian government has embarked on a technological initiative to bridge the country’s digital divide. The government has established Community Digital Transformation Centers (CDTCs) in partnership with Starlink, a satellite internet service owned by SpaceX. These CDTCs are designed to provide free internet access, digital skills training, and online services to the Zambian populace.
Africa’s Debt Crisis: A Continent-Wide Issue
As Zambia navigates its strategies for economic growth and digital transformation, it is also grappling with the broader issue of Africa’s debt crisis. This crisis has affected many African nations, including Ethiopia, Kenya, Ghana, and Zimbabwe, and poses significant challenges for these countries in terms of debt repayment and government budgeting. The article highlights the growing risk of fiscal slippage in Kenya and the weakening of the Kenyan shilling, contributing to inflationary pressures. It underscores the need for a fair and balanced debt restructuring approach to address this crisis, as well as the importance of domestic resource mobilization to fund development.

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.

LEAD PLAINTIFF DEADLINE: JANUARY 9, 2024
CLASS PERIOD: FEBRUARY 9, 2022 THROUGH NOVEMBER 1, 2023
CONTACT AN ATTORNEY TO DISCUSS YOUR RIGHTS:
Jonathan Naji, Esq. at (484) 270-1453 or via email at info@ktmc.com
Kessler Topaz is one of the world’s foremost advocates in protecting the public against corporate fraud and other wrongdoing. Our securities fraud litigators are regularly recognized as leaders in the field individually and our firm is both feared and respected among the defense bar and the insurance bar. We are proud to have recovered billions of dollars for our clients and the classes of shareholders we represent.
PAYCOM’S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT
In July 2021, prior to the beginning of the Class Period, Paycom officially rolled out a new application called “Beti,” which stands for Better Employee Transaction Interface, as an enhancement to the company’s then existing payroll offerings. According to Paycom at that time, Beti “further automates and streamlines the payroll process by empowering employees to do their own payroll, increasing efficiencies and reducing errors,” adding that “[e]mployees already manage all other components of their paychecks, including timecards, expenses, PTO requests and benefits; now they have the convenience within Paycom to process their own payroll, too.” Also, according to Paycom at that time, “Beti puts the payroll responsibility into the hands of employees, eliminating what used to be a multistep, imperfect and time-consuming process for HR and payroll staff members.” What Paycom did not disclose at the time was that its revenue stream then relied heavily upon those very inefficiencies, especially charging fees for making additional payroll runs when mistakes were made in payroll departments. Thus, as the company continued its rollout of Beti, more and more of the fees the company had previously been deriving for fixing one-off payroll errors would be eliminated, causing its own revenues and profit margins to decline.
The complaints allege that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company’s business and operations. Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Paycom had been relying upon a significant, but undisclosed, amount of one-off payroll correction fees to fuel its past outsized revenue growth; (2) increased adoption of Beti by Paycom’s payroll customers was cannibalizing the fees the company had previously been charging to correct common payroll mistakes and to provide related services; (3) the increased Beti adoption was decreasing Paycom’s gross profit margins; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Paycom’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
On October 31, 2023, Paycom shocked the market when it reported its Q3 2023 financial results. In its results, Paycom disclosed disappointing Q3 revenues, revenues guidance for Q4 2023, and an initial 2024 outlook for 10% to 12% revenue growth. Paycom’s reported financial results fell significantly below consensus estimates. On an earnings call held that same day discussing the results, Paycom’s CEO and CFO disclosed that the company’s Beti product was cannibalizing a portion of Paycom’s services and revenues, which led the company to miss its expected revenues for the Q3 2023. Likewise, the cannibalization of services and revenues caused Paycom to lower its projected fiscal 2023 revenues.
Following this news, the price of Paycom shares declined by $94.28, or approximately 38.49%, from $244.97 per share to $150.69 on November 1, 2023.
WHAT CAN I DO?
Paycom investors may, no later than January 9, 2024, move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff for the class, through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP encourages Paycom who have suffered significant losses to contact the firm directly to acquire more information. The class action complaint filed against Paycom in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma is captioned Ventrillo Jr. v. Paycom Software, Inc., et al., Case No. 23-cv-01019; the class action complaint filed against Paycom in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York is captioned Caloto v. Paycom Software, Inc., et al., Case No. 23-cv-11086.

WHO CAN BE A LEAD PLAINTIFF?

Never Too Late: A Father’s Triumph in Education
It’s not every day that you come across a story as inspiring as that of Joshua Huang, the 40-year-old father who defied the odds by returning to the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) in Singapore thrice and emerging with remarkable success. Huang’s story is a testament to the indomitable spirit of human perseverance and the belief that it’s never too late to chase one’s dreams or achieve academic success.
The Journey of Joshua Huang
At the tender age of 18, Huang dropped out of ITE to support his family financially. His academic journey post-National Service was also fraught with struggle and challenges. However, the unyielding support and encouragement of his family gave him the impetus to give education another shot. His determination finally bore fruit when he achieved outstanding success in his Higher National ITE Certificate (Higher Nitec) course in info-communications security at Nanyang Polytechnic.
Recognition of Hard Work and Perseverance
Huang’s commitment to his studies earned him the Edusave Skills Award and the Edusave Award for Achievement, Good Leadership, and Service. Each award, coupled with up to S$500 in cash, represents a recognition of his good conduct, professional and soft skills, and leadership qualities. His achievements were so impressive that Communications and Information Minister Josephine Teo initially mistook him for a parent collecting an award on behalf of his child.
Reviving Interest in Education
The spark that reignited Huang’s interest in education was a university lecture attended by his daughter and a candid conversation about his capabilities with his wife. Buoyed by his recent success, Huang is now on a mission to achieve a diploma in computer engineering. His story serves as a powerful reminder that there’s no age limit on academic success or self-improvement.
Huang’s journey, marked by determination, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to professional growth, is truly inspiring. His story is likely to resonate with many, providing them with the necessary motivation to keep striving for their dreams, irrespective of the challenges that may come their way.

Addressing the Renewable Energy Industry’s Waste Challenge: A Look at Startups’ Recycling Initiatives
In the wake of the renewable energy industry’s rapid growth, an escalating challenge emerges—the disposal of end-of-life solar panels, wind turbines, and lithium-ion electric vehicle (EV) batteries. As this industry leans heavily on wind and solar energy, along with EVs, these components are expected to produce a significant amount of waste at the end of their operational lifespans. However, a new wave of startups is stepping up to tackle this issue, fostering a circular economy that emphasizes recovering, recycling, and reusing the core materials from these climate technologies.
Solarcycle: A Beacon of Recycling Innovation
Leading the charge is Solarcycle, a startup that has opened a recycling facility in Odessa, Texas. This facility specializes in extracting an impressive 95% of materials from decommissioned solar panels. These materials are then reintroduced into the supply chain, creating a closed-loop system that minimizes waste. The market for these recycled solar panel materials is on an upward trajectory, projected to skyrocket from $170 million in the past year to an estimated $2.7 billion by 2030, and potentially surging to a staggering $80 billion by 2050.
Taking Stock: Renewable Energy’s Current Status and Future Projections
The U.S. Energy Information Administration confirms that wind and solar energy accounted for 13.6% of utility-scale electricity production last year—a figure poised to increase as the renewable energy shift accelerates. Parallelly, EV sales are also on the rise, spurred by tightening emissions regulations. They are anticipated to capture a 67% market share by 2032. The average solar panel has a lifespan of approximately 25 to 30 years. With more than 500 million panels already installed across the nation, the volume of solar panel waste is predicted to hit 9.8 million metric tons between 2030 and 2060.
The Current Dilemma: Recycling vs. Landfilling
At present, approximately 90% of end-of-life solar panels are destined for landfills, primarily because recycling is more costly than disposal. However, this trend is likely to shift as recycling becomes more cost-effective and landfilling costs continue to increase. The burgeoning renewable energy industry, in its quest for sustainability, is thus tasked with the critical challenge of managing its own waste—ensuring that today’s solutions do not become tomorrow’s problems.

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

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.

20-Minute Daily Exercise: A New Game-Changer in Disease Prevention
Revelations from recent scientific studies point towards a transformative approach to healthcare and disease prevention. Just 20 minutes of physical activity daily can significantly slash the risk of several chronic diseases, including cancer, dementia, and heart disease, by approximately a third. This reduction in risk is surprisingly comparable to, and sometimes surpasses, the effectiveness of certain medications. The type of exercise can range from traditional workouts to everyday activities like gardening and household chores.
Exercise: The New Magic Pill
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adults should engage in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week, supplemented by muscle-strengthening exercises on two separate days. Moderate-intensity activities include biking, dancing, walking, and swimming, while strengthening exercises involve weight lifting and calisthenics. However, despite these guidelines, a staggering 72 percent of American adults are not meeting the recommended levels of both aerobic and strength exercise.
Cost of Inactivity
The lack of physical activity has a substantial economic implication, associated with an estimated $117 billion in annual healthcare costs. Yet, studies have underscored that even light physical activities can lead to a more than 20 percent reduction in disease risk. Furthermore, vigorous exercise has been linked to lower all-cause mortality rates and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease mortality.
The Exercise-Dementia Connection
As the U.S. population ages and Alzheimer’s disease cases are projected to rise, research has shed light on the vital role of physical activity in reducing dementia risk. Moreover, during the COVID-19 pandemic, physically active individuals have shown a lower likelihood of requiring hospitalization due to infection.

ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) — When the holiday feasts are over it can be a challenge to burn off the calories, particularly if you don’t have a plan in place. It is possible to have a healthy new year without making it a difficult challenge.
“If you’re going to stick to a resolution, the best way to do that is to make it fun and make it enjoyable and make it a social thing,” said Robert Tarnoczy, co-owner of The Bar Training Facility. “So, joining with a friend, good way to start, don’t rely on your friend to come with you every time because they’re gonna have different priorities than you do. They might hit their goals sooner, they might fall off a little sooner than you do.”
“Maintaining a good sleep schedule, so making sure that you’re sleeping six to eight hours a night so that you feel rested for your workout. Whether you work out in the morning or the afternoon,” said gym member, Michelle Dartt.
Another tip Dartt suggests is making sure to have a balanced diet when eating, for example enough protein, carbohydrates, and fats, while paying attention to your calorie intake.
“Drink more water. You know people drink a lot of other things that are high in calories and they’re not getting hydration they need,” said Ted Kohler, owner of The Sanctuary Barbell Club. “Hydration will go so far in your life making you feel better. “

The fire department also shined light on his over two decades in public service with the City of Greensboro. Particularly his role as supervisor of the Family Victims Unit.
“I want to express our deepest sympathy and gratitude for Sergeant Nix’s dedicated service. His legacy will forever be etched in the annals of public safety, and his memory will continue to inspire those who follow in his footsteps.”
Fire Chief Jim Robinson
Nix had deep family ties within the fire department. His father is the retired Captain Eddie Nix, his brother Dan Nix is a current GFD firefighter.
Nix’s uncle is retired Assistant Chief Skip Nix, his cousin Alan Nix is currently a captain with the GFD. Nix’s cousin-in-laws are Engineers Charles Gunter and Trent Pence.
During this challenging time, the Greensboro Fire Department stands in unwavering solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the Greensboro Police Department. The loss of Sergeant Nix resonates not only within his immediate family but also reverberates throughout our entire community. As we collectively mourn the passing of a dedicated public servant, we offer our deepest sympathies to the GPD family, and our thoughts and prayers are with them.
Greensboro Fire Dept.
Police say that three suspects have been arrested in connection to Nix’s death.
Jamere Justice Foster, 18, of Winston-Salem, is being charged with felony first-degree murder, misdemeanor larceny and conspiracy.
Warrants accuse Foster of stealing $83.45 worth of beer from the Sheetz where the sergeant was killed attempting to confront the suspects.
His release has not been authorized and he is being held with no bond.
Additionally, John Walter Morrison, 28, of Winston-Salem, is being charged with misdemeanor larceny, conspiracy and felony accessory after the fact to first-degree murder, according to investigators.
Morrison’s release was also not authorized and he is being held with no bond.
Zquriah Lepearce Blackwell, 18, of Winston-Salem, is being charged with felony accessory after the fact to first-degree murder and is being held on a $500,000 bond.
Warrants accuse Blackwell of knowingly assisting in Foster’s “attempting to escape.”
The warrant further alleges that Blackwell told Foster that “they needed to get out of there because he just killed a cop” and that Blackwell joined Foster to sell stolen merchandise and talked about destroying evidence including the alleged firearm used in the homicide and a registration plate of the suspect vehicle.
Police say that more charges could come as the investigation continues and that the Winston-Salem Police Department assisted in making the arrests.

A Paradigm Shift in New Year’s Resolutions: From Self-Improvement to Holistic Well-being
As the clock ticks towards a new year, it’s a tradition for many to reflect on the past and set resolutions for the future. In the United States, this age-old ritual, dating back to the ancient Babylonians and Romans, has taken on a transformational shift. Uplifted by a broader societal recognition of the importance of mental well-being and spurred by the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Americans are reshaping their New Year’s resolutions.
From Self-Improvement to Holistic Well-being
Traditionally, New Year’s resolutions have centered around self-improvement in areas such as fitness, diet, and personal finance. However, recent trends reveal a shift towards more holistic and well-rounded goals. Individuals are increasingly focusing on mental health, learning new skills, and nurturing relationships. This change not only reflects an acute societal understanding of the significance of emotional resilience but also an evolving approach towards a balanced life.
Challenges of Keeping New Year’s Resolutions
The challenge of maintaining resolutions is nothing new. According to a Forbes Health/OnePoll survey, 61% of respondents feel pressured to set a resolution. It’s not uncommon for resolutions to be ambitious, often too lofty to achieve, resulting in people falling short. Psychologists recommend setting smaller, more attainable goals, suggesting that the key to success lies in the reasons behind the desired change.
Successful Strategies for Achieving Resolutions
Despite the challenges, there are strategies to improve the odds of success. Reframing resolutions as forming new habits, having an accountability partner, and having visual reminders of their goals have proven effective. The ‘top five’ framework, which encourages individuals to reflect on past accomplishments and set personal and professional goals, also aids in maintaining resolutions. It’s recommended to write a letter to oneself, addressing fears, embracing adventures, connecting with others, and planning for personal growth.
In the realm of financial resolutions, nearly half of Americans plan to manage their money better or save more. Financial experts advocate for a change in mindset about saving and investing, rather than setting mere resolutions. They suggest acknowledging resolutions in writing and creating a visual representation of the desired identity and future self. Starting small, automating financial affairs, and setting goals accordingly can pave the way to financial freedom.
As we step into 2024, the importance of lifeline relationships in helping people achieve their New Year’s resolutions is emphasized. Peer-to-peer support and feedback play a crucial role in achieving personal and professional goals. Harnessing the power of close, intimate connections can unlock individuals’ full potential, transforming their New Year’s resolutions into reality.
