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

Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol, two of the biggest names in the Hindi film industry, were involved in a controversial incident in 1996 while shooting their movie 'Darr'.When Sunny's 'Gadar 2' hit theatres earlier this year, the entire industry came together to celebrate it. Even Shah Rukh Khan joined the celebration and was seen hugging Deol.
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Sunny opened up about his long-standing differences with SRK where he mentioned that ‘everybody has moved ahead’ and is now ‘happy and satisfied’.
Elaborating further, the actor added that every one knows what went wrong or right. Sunny said that time is a healer and that it is best to leave it there. Sunny also expressed that he was so happy that everyone turned up at his party.
'Darr' completed 30 years earlier this month and Sunny Deol opened up about his equation with Shah Rukh Khan and told PTI, “I’m so thankful to him (Shah Rukh). I remember speaking to him and he was in Dubai for the promotions (of Jawan). I thought he wouldn’t come but he came straight from there. He was there for a little while. I didn’t get a chance to meet or speak to him after that (party) but whenever I do it would be beautiful.”
“We as actors have certain things (that happen) over a period of time. When we are younger, we are a bit different, and as time goes by, we start maturing and we start understanding what life is in reality. All of us have changed quite a lot. That’s the beautiful thing about it. Time is a healer of everything,” he added.
EXCLUSIVE! 'Shah Rukh Khan doesn't have an intimidating personality,' says Taapsee Pannu

President Paul Kagame has said that Rwanda is ready to keep its citizens safe, to defend its borders and extend peace and security to others whenever needed.
Kagame made the remarks during the end of year State of the Nation address in which he reflected on the achievements that the country has made in 2023 despite security challenges in the region and beyond.
“We are also dealing with insecurity in our region, and on our border. I want you to know that we can absorb any amount of criticism, however unjustified. We will always do what is necessary, to ensure that Rwandans are safe and secure, no matter what,” Kagame said.
The Head of State and Commander-in-Chief said that this will not stop in Rwanda but the country will, within its means, continue to do whatever it can to help others elsewhere in Africa to restore peace and security.
Since 2014, Rwandan peacekeepers have constituted the majority of United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) force.
Rwandan peacekeepers are made of 4,685 Contingent Troops, 249 Female Peacekeepers and 1105 Police peacekeepers who are and have served in missions in CAR, Haiti, South Sudan and Mozambique.
“Any year, in every place in the world, there will be problems. Adversity is just an invitation to become more determined, and do more and better,” President Kagame said.
Despite the challenges of 2023, Kagame said that Rwanda has continued to develop, host many global events and meetings, and economically move a step forward, which is a sign that more will be achieved in 2024.
“We will stay on course. Given the context and circumstances where we are coming from and how we lived before, we find no reason to complain and give up,” Kagame said, noting that the signs of this confidence and dynamism is in the energy of Rwanda’s young generation.
To this effect, Kagame said that in the next year, Rwanda expects to hear the voices of young people in crafting the course of Rwanda’s future as a nation.
Kagame concluded the address by wishing all Rwandans and their families a happy and prosperous New Year 2024 full of better times.

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.

Sunny Deol had the most amazing year and in fact, 2023 can be called the year of the Deols. While Sunny had this huge blockbuster in the form of 'Gadar 2' which broke all records, Bobby Deol got immense love for '
Animal', despite the short length of the role. Meanwhile, Dharmendra stole the show with 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' which saw him alongside Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan.
Fans are now waiting to see the Deols together on screen, also because their bonding and love for each other as a family is hard to miss. Recently, during a chat with NDTV, Sunny spoke about the relationship he shares with his father Dharmendra. He said that his father was a fear factor for him. Even now, if his father were to come, he would just stand up and then keep his mouth shut. But that's the beauty of it, said Sunny.
He further revealed that his family has always been strict. Sunny was not allowed to go out after 7,8pm when he was in school. The 'Gadar 2' star revealed that he didn't give a mobile phone to his children till they finished school.
Sunny was also all praise for Bobby in this interview and he said that he's quite happy for his brother. It's high time he got success because people were not fair to him. Speaking about Bobby's recent film 'Animal', Sunny has revealed that he walked out of 'Animal' during the scene where Bobby was being killed because he just couldn't take it.

Sunny Leone, post the success of "Kennedy" at Cannes, reflects on the changing landscape of the film industry. She notes the removal of age barriers, with actors making comebacks, and highlights her shift in priorities. Being a star is no longer her focus; she values meaningful roles over the spotlight, citing "Quotation Gang" as an example.

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

The Los Angeles Lakers dropped a close contest to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night, but of course it did not come without controversy involving LeBron James.
James was celebrating him 39th birthday although it did not end up being a good one thanks to what he believed was a missed call.
With the Lakers trailing by three points in the final seconds after making a comeback to make it close, James rose up and hit what he believed was the game-tying 3-pointer. Unfortunately though, the shot was ruled a 2-pointer and the call stood after it was reviewed by the officials.
LeBron was immediately upset as a still shot was still on the monitor at the scorer’s table. He pointed out to the officials that his foot appeared to be behind the line, but it was to no avail and the Lakers would end up suffering the loss.
As usual, the NBA released it’s Last Two-Minute Report the following day and they stuck by their call that it was a 2-pointer, via Dave McMenamin of ESPN:
The NBA’s Last Two Minute Report backs up last night’s determination that LeBron James’ suit with 2.3 seconds left was a 2 and not a 3 pic.twitter.com/vhHqzUhGVY
— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) December 31, 2023
There were two calls in the Last Two Minute Report that should have gone against MIN and were missed, per the NBA pic.twitter.com/n0WEH75yij
— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) December 31, 2023
There were a number of different screenshots going around and it was an extremely close play, so it is not surprising to see the NBA isn’t changing their mind. The result of the game was already decided, so even if they came out and said it was a triple, that would change nothing at this point.
They did admit to two other wrong calls that disadvantaged the Lakers in the final two minutes, but again, there’s nothing that can be done about it now.
James was understandably upset after the game, but he still had a solid overall performance in the loss, finishing with 26 points, three rebounds, six assists, three steals and one block on his 39th birthday.
LeBron James played through illness in Lakers loss to Timberwolves
James was actually listed as questionable and a game-time decision ahead of the loss to the Timberwolves due to a non-COVID illness.
He was able to tough it out and play, but it remains to be seen if he will be able to do the same on Sunday when the Lakers close out 2023 against the New Orleans Pelicans in the second game of a back-to-back on the road.

Freshman safety Daeh McCullough to enter the transfer portal
Per multiple reports Sunday afternoon, Oklahoma defensive back Daeh McCullough is expected to enter his name in the transfer portal.
The former four-star prospect arrived in Norman as the No. 31 safety in the 2023 recruiting class and was the No. 6 player in the state of Indiana. He’d long been committed to Cincinnati, but late in the cycle, he chose to join forces in the crimson and cream with his older brother Dasan, who transferred from Indiana to Oklahoma last offseason to play cheetah in Brent Venables’ defense. The younger McCullough was one of seven defensive back signees in the 2023 class for Oklahoma.
During McCullough's only season with the Sooners, he saw the field in one game (a 73-0 win over Arkansas State) and played four snaps, per Pro Football Focus.
He’ll have four years of eligibility remaining at his next destination.

MISSOULA — The Montana Lady Griz picked up their fifth win in a row as UM topped Idaho State 66-55 on Sunday afternoon at Dahlberg Arena in front of 2,392 fans.

Montana started strong with a 27-18 lead after the first quarter and 40-29 advantage by halftime. The Lady Griz out-rebounded the Bengals 37 to 25 and held ISU to just 42.6% shooting in the game from the field and 3 for 11 from deep.

L.A. is coming off a controversial ending yesterday in Minnesota against the Timberwolves, missing out on an opportunity to win against the No. 1 team in the conference, losing 108-106. On the flip side, this back-to-back offers the Lakers an opportunity to bounce back and take out some frustration on the Pelicans.
This is the second time that these two teams have faced off, the first being in Las Vegas for the In-Season Tournament semifinals. It was a dominant L.A. win, 133-89. The purple and gold shot 54.7% from the field and made 17 3-pointers, while New Orleans struggled to get any offense going.
Heading into this contest, it was announced that Cam Reddish is out with left groin soreness, an injury he has been dealing with the past few games. D’Angelo Russell was also ruled out with a tailbone contusion after attempting to take a charge in the third quarter of yesterday’s game. LeBron James was listed questionable with a left knee contusion and illness and Anthony Davis was probable with a left ankle sprain/bone bruise, but both will suit up for the Lakers
On the Pelicans side of things, Trey Murphy III was listed questionable with a knee issue and now is ruled out, which is a considerable loss to New Orleans’ bench scoring.
Davis has put up some nice games against his former team, averaging 26.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.9 blocks. Coming off 33 points, 17 rebounds, eight assists, four steals and 2 blocks against the Timberwolves, the Lakers are going to need a similar to performance to get a win today.
While Reddish’s defense against Brandon Ingram and C.J. McCollum will be missed, Jarred Vanderbilt will assume the role of switching between the two, but mainly should be on Ingram. Austin Reaves take up more back up guard minutes perhaps with an opportunity for Max Christie to see the floor.
Despite the semifinals game being a blowout, the Pelicans’ offense will assumingly be a lot better playing in front of their fans. New Orleans is coming off a home win against the Utah Jazz, 112-105, with Ingram being the leading scorer with 26, McCollum with 22 and Zion Williamson with a near triple-double at 21 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists.
The Lakers were luckily able to shut down those three in Las Vegas, but L.A. is going to have to at least contain Ingram because if he is able to get to his spots in the mid-range, it can be a long night. With no true point guard, McCollum is going to have to turn into a passer and not allow Williamson to get downhill.
December has been a challenging month for the purple and gold, thankfully it is coming to an end. Closing out 2023 with a win is a must as a five-game homestand awaits to begin 2024.

From 3 a.m. weights to reps on an empty field, Daniel Akinkunmi won't stop
Daniel Akinkunmi looked down at the text across the front of his jersey, which reads “ALL-AMERICAN” in oversized lettering, and chuckled affably.
The exclusivity of that designation isn’t lost on him.
After all, though dozens of his peers have also earned Under Armour All-American status, every single one of those peers actually lives in America.
But then there’s Akinkunmi, a native of London who’s just two years into his journey as a gridiron football player. He's not the first international player to take part in the All-American Game (Finland native Olaus Alinen, for example, did so last year), but it's a rare honor for a player from foreign soil. Akinkunmi is the only 2024 All-American who hails from outside the States.
For further insight on Akinkunmi's athletic background, check out OUInsider’s October commitment profile on the 6-foot-5, 320-pound mauler. At that time, though, he was little more than a feel-good story and a fun bullet point for the Sooners’ signing day pamphlet. He’d committed to Oklahoma over offers from Ole Miss, Clemson, Miami and many other programs, but many still regarded the three-star lineman as a long-term developmental project. Given an obvious lack of elite competition on his resume, it was hard to figure how well Akinkunmi would actually hold up when pitted against players his own size.
Come November, though, Akinkunmi picked up an invite to the Under Armour All-American Game, which thus presented an opportunity for him to strut his stuff on one of high school football’s biggest stages. The game is preceded by several days of highly publicized practice sessions, which are usually well attended by recruiting analysts and evaluators. If Akinkunmi was going to cement a reputation and potentially earn a fourth star, this was his chance to do so.
The All-American Game and its festivities take place every year in Orlando over the New Year’s holiday, and Akinkunmi had long since planned to enroll at Oklahoma in January. So he decided that he would make the detour to the Sunshine State on his way to Norman, and he agreed to participate in the game.
The first night of practice in Orlando wasn’t particularly demanding. It featured little more than stretching, individual drill work and an offensive install. When the 90-minute session concluded, most of the players trotted directly from the field to the locker room. But Akinkunmi didn’t even take his helmet off. He walked back out near midfield, and for the next fifteen minutes, he drilled his footwork and pass-protection technique literally all by himself. By the time he finished all his extra reps, there wasn’t a single player or coach left on the field.
When asked why he stayed so long after practice to work in silence and isolation, Akinkunmi insisted that it’s nothing out of the ordinary for him.
“I do that every single day,” he remarked. “The whole process behind it is, I have not been playing the sport for long, so I need as many reps as possible. I feel like the reason I’ve been able to catch up with all my US competition is because I’ve repped this out so many times. I think this game is about repetition and how perfect you can do things. So I just need to rep it out to a consistent level — and consistently good or perfect — to get to the point where [I] become a very good player.”
But although he’d already gone above and beyond by most standards, Akinkunmi wasn’t done working for the evening. He joined his future roommate David Stone for dinner, after which the two talked for a while and then headed for the weight room with a third future Sooner.
“We were up at 3 a.m. lifting, me and him and Von [Mitchell],” said Stone. “We were all in the weight room, and I ended up calling Jayden [Jackson]. I was like, ‘Hey, man. This dude’s going to be special. His work ethic is just like ours.’”
When the trio finally wrapped up their lift, Akinkunmi set several alarms for 8 a.m. and turned in for the night. Team meetings and breakfast awaited, followed by a much more strenuous 11 a.m. practice.
Around noon, the most anticipated portion of the practice session arrived, as the offensive linemen and defensive linemen went head-to-head in a series of 1-on-1 matchups. Akinkunmi drew Texas signee Zina Umeozulu and Texas A&M signee Dealyn Evans, getting two snaps each against a pair of future SEC defensive ends.
One might well have imagined a football newbie from England would be overmatched against a pair of the top defenders from the talent-rich Lone Star State. But Akinkunmi didn’t flinch.
“It felt amazing — I won all four reps,” he recalled. “We didn’t have enough time; I called out Stone. We didn’t have enough time; we both wanted to go up against each other. But I loved it. I love to compete.”
Akinkunmi’s performance came as a surprise to the analysts in attendance, many of whom imagined he’d have his struggles adjusting to the speed and physicality of American competition. But Akinkunmi insists that the stigma isn’t fair, and relished the opportunity to prove it.
“I feel like people have the understanding I’m raw or I don’t know what I’m doing,” he observed. “But the fact is, because of this, I’ve had [to do] some research and had to reach out to my guys in the NFL [Academy] and ask questions. And I probably have even more knowledge than some US guys here from a high-level standpoint, because we have such amazing coaches and staff.”
None of it came as a surprise to Mitchell, who had seen Akinkunmi’s prowess on full display in the weight room the previous night.
“Bro, Daniel’s a dawg,” Mitchell proclaimed. “He’s a dawg. He’s strong, bruh. I’m gonna be real; he’s strong as heck. I’m not even gonna lie to you. That boy’s strong, and he got great footwork. And he’s even a better person. We’re glad to have Daniel on our team.”
And furthermore, Akinkunmi is highly competitive — so competitive, in fact, that he displayed legitimate annoyance at his elimination from the lighthearted Big Man Punt Return competition. It’s one of the many individual contests held throughout the All-American festivities, and the winner receives a custom boombox. A group of offensive linemen do battle for the crown, and victory goes to the last man standing when all the other competitors fail to field a catchable punt. In Akinkunmi’s case, he had to chase down an off-target punt and came up a couple of steps short, but the judges ruled that the boot was indeed catchable. Thus, Akinkunmi was eliminated, but he protested that ruling vehemently.
“I got hosed!” he shouted to anyone who would listen as the competitors walked off the field.
Stone, who’s long been regarded as a five-star recruit and currently ranks as the No. 7 overall prospect in the nation, is no stranger to first-round hype. That’s essentially the consensus expectation for him; a five-star prospect is quite literally defined as a player that should be a first-round draft pick one day. But the Sooners’ top-ranked signee believes that Akinkunmi has the same potential in the long run, despite his modest ranking.
“I feel like [we] could definitely make the case [alongside] the Trent Williams and Gerald McCoy class that we had,” said Stone. “I feel like it could really be like that — us entering and going first round together in the same draft class. And I feel like he’s definitely someone that can be special just like that. He knows the whole playbook. He was studying film right after we got back from the weight room. And you know, after practice the next day, he was still the last one out here working with me, man. So I know he’s going to be special. I know it. I can feel it.”
For context, McCoy and Williams were respectively drafted third and fourth overall in 2010. Sam Bradford was the first pick of that same draft, which marked the first and only time in history that one program accounted for three of the top four picks. Since then, only one draft (2020) has seen Oklahoma produce a first-round pick on both sides of the ball.
But hype aside, regardless of how successful he becomes in an Oklahoma uniform, Akinkunmi has already cemented his status as a bona fide fan favorite. That’s largely due to his social media activity, as he’s taken to Twitter on several occasions to fire up — and reassure — Sooner Nation. Most recently, he responded to Oklahoma’s Alamo Bowl loss with a message of encouragement for the fans.
“I feel like it’s something very important, because at the end of the day, you’re going to win or lose a ballgame,” he explained. “We lost [the Alamo Bowl], sadly. But it’s about coming back and preparing for the next game, because at the end of the day, it’s always about the next. Once it’s happened in the present, you can’t change [it]. All you can do is talk about it. So there’s no need to throw hate. There’s no need to be mean to each other. All you can do is pick each other up and make them better, and try and hopefully go back and win the next game, and win the next game, and hopefully win a national championship.”
That’s the sole mission for Akinkunmi and the rest of the 2024 class, with whom he’s already developed an outstanding camaraderie. 20 of the Sooners’ 27 signees are set to enroll early and join the program next month.
“We already feel like family,” Akinkunmi stated. “And I think we’re all ready to just try and come in, compete and dominate. I think when you have that type of mindset and you’re trying to play for each other, you start to win.”
And though his future position coach has taken some heat from the fanbase as of late, Akinkunmi has the utmost faith in Bill Bedenbaugh. He couldn’t care less about any narratives that have been spun concerning Bedenbaugh, and he regards him as the ideal coach to refine and improve his game. That begins next week, when Akinkunmi arrives in Norman to begin the next chapter of his football journey.
“We talk every single day,” said Akinkunmi of Bedenbaugh. “He calls my mum every single day. He and my mum are best friends; they talk all the time. Me and him, we actually love each other. That’s my coach, and I’m never going to change up on him unless he gets fired — and let’s be honest, he will never, ever get fired.
“So I’m rocking with Coach B all the way. He’s an amazing coach, and I can’t wait to play for him and hopefully be able to have that type of relationship and that level of development to a point where I’m probably in the first round. I can invite him to the games!”

A surfer in Hawaii died at the hospital after a shark attack Saturday.
According toMaui County authorities, they received a report at around 11 a.m. local time Saturday about “a miscellaneous type incident.” Upon arrival, they discovered that Ocean Safety Officers had rescued and transported Jason Carter, a 39-year-old man, to shore using a jet ski.
Responders conducted life-saving measures until medical personnel arrived, and Carter was then taken to the Maui Memorial Medical Center for further treatment.
According to the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Carter, who is originally from Haiku, faced the shark encounter while surfing at Paia Bay, where shark warning signs are placed on beaches one mile on either side of the bay.
While initial signs of foul play were not evident, the police department reports that the investigation is ongoing and an autopsy has been scheduled.

Triptii Dimri, the breakout star of 2023, has captured the spotlight with her role in '
Animal', where her chemistry with Ranbir Kapoor has become the talk of the town. Despite a smaller role in the film, her on-screen presence and intimate scenes alongside Kapoor propelled her into the limelight, leading to a significant surge in her Instagram following. Often hailed as 'Bhabhi 2' by fans and the media due to her role in 'Animal', Dimri's rising popularity has marked her as India's latest national crush.
In an interview with News18 Showsha, Dimri revealed her initial nervousness around Ranbir Kapoor, admitting to only confessing that he was her favorite actor.
She commended Kapoor for his supportive nature during the filming of intimate scenes, crediting him, the director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, and the Director of Photography for prioritizing her comfort and ensuring a respectful environment on set. Dimri emphasized the importance of being in a space where personal boundaries are respected, especially during sensitive scenes, highlighting the significance of mutual respect among co-actors and the team. Despite the intimacy portrayed in the film's song 'Pehle Bhi Main', Dimri expressed feeling at ease, indicating that the scene was approached like any other, with her comfort being a priority.
The 'Bulbbul' and 'Qala' actor confessed to being overwhelmed by the unexpected response to her character in 'Animal', initially underestimating the impact her role would have. Despite her nerves on the first day of filming, she was astonished by the love received for her portrayal of Zoya. Amidst the buzz surrounding her, reports also suggest her potential casting as the female lead in 'Aashiqui 3'.

Player grades from Oklahoma's final non-conference win
The Sooners emerged victorious in their final non-conference matchup of the season, defeating Monmouth with a conclusive score of 72-56. Despite the game exhibiting a less-than-flawless performance for a substantial duration, Jalon Moore and the Sooners exerted dominance over Monmouth in the second half. Moore achieved a remarkable milestone, attaining both a career-high and game-high with 21 points.
Take a look at the grades of Moore and seven other Sooners in their final non-conference game of the season:
STARTERS
Javian McCollum: A
In a 29-minute stint on the court, McCollum amassed a total of 11 points, distributed eight assists, secured five rebounds, executed three steals, and encountered two turnovers. His shooting performance included a 2-4 record on two-pointers and a similar 2-4 accuracy from beyond the arc. McCollum showcased an offensive rating of 129 and operated with a usage rate of 24. While his point contribution may not have been excessive, he undeniably made a substantial impact on the game. Excelling as a facilitator and demonstrating proficiency in shooting, McCollum refrained from forcing plays and adeptly capitalized on defensive opportunities. His performance can be characterized as highly commendable, contributing significantly to the team's overall success.
Milos Uzan: A
Uzan contributed significantly in his 29-minute presence on the court, accumulating 10 points, distributing eight assists, securing one rebound, and registering one turnover and one steal. Notably, he showcased an impressive offensive rating of 156, coupled with a judicious usage rate of 18. Uzan's shooting performance included a perfect 1-1 record on two-pointers and a 2-5 display from beyond the arc. Much like McCollum, Uzan demonstrated astute decision-making by avoiding forced plays and adeptly capitalizing on defensive opportunities. Noteworthy was his precision in knocking down a pair of open three-pointers, underscoring his proficiency as a shooter. Additionally, he excelled in the role of a facilitator, further enhancing his overall impact on the game. Uzan's stellar performance stood out, effectively compensating for any shortcomings in his previous outing against Central Arkansas.
Otega Oweh: B+
In a 31-minute performance, Oweh accumulated 13 points, complemented by three rebounds, two assists, and a steal. His shooting statistics included a 3-6 success rate on two-pointers and a proficient 2-3 display from beyond the arc. Despite showcasing an offensive rating of 96 and a usage rate of 23, Oweh's otherwise commendable performance was marred by four turnovers. While excelling in various aspects of the game, Oweh's exceptional play was overshadowed by the turnovers, which prevented him from achieving an outstanding overall performance. Notably, his proficiency in knocking down shots, particularly behind the arc, remained a highlight. A noteworthy instance was his ability to convert a three-pointer even when fouled, demonstrating resilience and skill in challenging situations. With improved ball security, Oweh could have delivered an exceptional game.
Jalon Moore: A+
In a 30-minute showcase, Moore delivered a standout performance, achieving a career-high and game-high 21 points. Complementing his scoring prowess were six rebounds, two blocks, one steal, and an assist. Moore's shooting accuracy was impressive, going 5-6 on two-pointers and 3-4 on three-pointers. Notably, he boasted a team-high offensive rating of 189, coupled with a usage rate of 15. Moore's exceptional display extended beyond the offensive end, as he proved to be elite defensively. His ability to contribute on both ends of the court underscored his well-rounded skill set. Importantly, he showcased a keen understanding of shot selection, avoiding forced plays and exhibiting a high level of efficiency. Moore's strength and athleticism were integral to his success in the game, further enhancing his overall impact. In summary, Moore's performance can be characterized as nothing short of exceptional, marking a standout contribution to the team's success.
Sam Godwin: B
In a 21-minute stint, Godwin amassed 8 points, along with seven rebounds, an assist, and a steal. Displaying efficiency, he achieved an offensive rating of 133, operating with a measured usage rate of 18. Godwin's shooting performance was solid, going 4-6 from the field, although he faced challenges at the free-throw line, shooting 0-2. While there were no particularly extraordinary moments, Godwin's contribution was marked by numerous solid plays and commendable rebounding. He executed his role effectively, meeting the team's expectations. This performance can be considered one of Godwin's signature displays, showcasing his reliability and ability to make meaningful contributions within the team's framework.
Bench
Le'Tre Darthard: D+
Darthard's 23-minute appearance on the court yielded 3 points, along with one steal, one rebound, and a turnover. Unfortunately, his shooting accuracy was challenging, going 1-7 on three-point attempts. Reflecting on his offensive efficiency, he posted a subpar offensive rating of 44, paired with a usage rate of 16. It is evident that Darthard has been grappling with a recent shooting slump, a concern highlighted by his overall performance. Despite the struggles, a late-game successful three-pointer provides a glimmer of optimism and suggests a potential turnaround. The Sooners are undoubtedly optimistic that this made shot marks the end of Darthard's slump. While his defensive contributions were noteworthy, there is a consensus that improvement in his offensive performance is crucial. The team will be relying on him to regain his scoring prowess and contribute more consistently on that end of the court.
Rivaldo Soares: C
In a 12-minute appearance, Soares registered no points but did contribute a rebound, a block, and unfortunately, a turnover. His shooting performance was challenging, going 0-1 on two-pointers and 0-2 on three-pointers, resulting in an offensive rating of 0 and a usage rate of 16. Unfortunately, Soares' playing time was abruptly cut short when he collided with John Hugley halfway through the second half, and he did not return to the game. While on the court, Soares demonstrated commendable defensive skills, showcasing solidity in that aspect of the game. However, his offensive contributions were notably absent, potentially emphasizing the need for improvement in that area.
John Hugley: B-
In an 18-minute stretch, Hugley contributed 6 points, secured five rebounds, and dished out an assist, but unfortunately, recorded two turnovers. His shooting performance included a 2-4 success rate on two-pointers, 0-1 on three-point attempts, and a perfect 2-2 from the free-throw line. However, his overall offensive rating was 84, coupled with a usage rate of 23. Hugley's performance was marked by a mix of positive and negative moments. While he demonstrated proficiency in scoring and rebounding, there were instances where he appeared fatigued, potentially impacting his overall effectiveness. On the offensive end, his performance was polarizing, showcasing both good and challenging moments. Defensively, Hugley displayed a combination of solid plays and some mistakes, reflecting a mix of contributions on that end of the court.
Kenpom MVP: Jalon Moore

Something weird always happens. I say this on TV and they laugh at me, but the NFC East is the zaniest of NFL divisions. It has been 19 years since anyone repeated as its champion, and the events of Week 17 have created a situation that could very well extend that streak to 20.
It makes no sense that the Eagles wouldn't win the NFC East this season. At one point, they were 10-1, with a head-to-head victory over their closest pursuers, the Cowboys. As late as the fourth quarter of their game against the Cardinals on Sunday, they still had control of the situation. Hold that fourth-quarter lead against the then-3-12 Cardinals, then win next week against the 5-11 Giants, and you break the streak to repeat as division champs. This was not a difficult-looking assignment.
But they did not hold the lead. Kyler Murray, James Conner and the Cardinals went right down the field on them in the final minutes to score the game-winning touchdown. And now all the Cowboys have to do to win the NFC East is beat the 4-12 Commanders next week. It makes no sense, especially when you consider everything that had to happen at the end of Saturday night's Lions-Cowboys game to bring this situation about. But it's the NFC East. It isn't supposed to make sense. It's just supposed to do the opposite of what you expect. That's what makes it so much fun.
Let's start this week's overreactions column -- where we judge potential takeaways from Week 17 games -- there since there's a lot to unpack.

Cowboys will win the NFC East?
Jackson already won the MVP?

Scientists mull Solar Radiation Management – a potential climate-change stop-gap
As we argue over freeing ourselves from fossil fuels, can SRM buy us time to develop green energy we need?
In-depth At the American Geophysical Union annual meeting (AGU23) in San Francisco the other week, the 25,000-plus science folks in attendance pretty much all agreed on one unequivocal fact: the Earth is warming and it's warming quickly. Discussions centered not on "if" — that's been settled — but on how to best measure that rise, how to best model it, and what best to do about it.
The most straightforward answer to that latter question, of course, has also been settled: Stop pumping the troposphere — the lower level of the atmosphere in which we all live and breathe — full of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO2 — abundant and long-lasting, though relatively weak) and methane (CH4 — far less abundant and short-lasting, but quite strong).
One gigantic problem exists, however: The world's economies currently largely run on GHG–producing fossil fuels. To unceremoniously and immediately yank those life-enhancing energy sources out from under eight billion people would cause untold disruption, suffering, and strife. Investigations are therefore underway about what if anything to do to slow down global warming long enough to allow the inevitable transition to renewable energy — wind, solar, nuclear, geothermal, hamsters in wheels, whatever — to be reasonably successful.
Enter geoengineering. Essentially, this catch-all set of techniques is about hacking Earth systems in such a way as to defeat — even if only temporarily — global warming and its evil twin climate change. After all, atmospheric (as opposed to orbital, precession, and other factors) global warming is caused by the simple physics of the Sun's short-wave energy bouncing off the Earth's surface as long-wave infrared radiation, then being absorbed and reradiated by loosely bound gas molecules such as CO2 and CH4, which then warm the troposphere and cool the stratospheric level above it, as has been incontrovertibly measured for decades.
As any climatologist will tell you, natural global warming is A Good Thing™. Simple physics (such as the Stephan-Boltzmann Law, for you aspiring climate geeks) proves the Earth would average about a frigid -15°C without our planet's blanket of GHGs. Thanks to our GHG coverlet, we average around 15°C. The problem is that since we're rapidly adding to those GHGs, the Earth's global temperature is also rapidly rising. That's a problem.
A favorite among geoengineering techniques, as a climate change mitigation, is Solar Radiation Management (SRM), which suggests that if the Sun is heating us up, why not just block its rays from beating down so furiously on our defenseless li'l planet? Wouldn't, couldn't, and perhaps shouldn't a concerted effort be made to find a way to block the sun and buy us some time while we kick our fossil-fuel addiction?
Ah, if it were only that easy.
Channeling Mr Burns
A broad range of SRM solutions have been run up the proverbial flagpole. For example, sun-blocking mirrors in space have been proposed, including one "about the size of Brazil", or perhaps a swarm of 800,000 metre-sized reflectors. Other ideas include making the ocean more reflective by injecting it with tiny bubbles, planting shinier crops, building more-reflective rooftops, or thinning cirrus clouds.
While these suggestions have aroused some interest, the two most seriously investigated SRM techniques to date have been Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB) and Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) — and yes, SRM wouldn't be considered cutting-edge science without its share of TLAs (three-letter acronyms).
MCB and SAI are arguably the most promising sun-blocking SRM schemes, more so than those aforementioned Asimov-level mirrors, not the least because such mirrors would be most effective if positioned at the first Lagrange point, an area of orbital equilibrium between the Earth and the Sun that's a full 1.5 million kilometres away. MCB and SAI, by contrast, would work their shady magic here in our own atmosphere, and so would be much cheaper and more accessible.
That said, both MCB and SAI have problems, and some of those problems were discussed at AGU23. But before we talk about the challenges posed by those two more-realistic SRM techniques, let’s briefly define them.
Marine Cloud Brightening — MCB — is a technique to spread sea salt aerosols into select areas of the atmosphere in order to stimulate the formation of sunlight-deflecting stratocumulus clouds — which, as their strato-prefix implies, form at high altitudes. "All well and good," you might ask, "but what are sea salt aerosols?" Okay, more definitions are in order. An aerosol, simply put, is a tiny particle dispersed in some medium, usually air or a gas. A sea salt aerosol (SSA) is, you guessed it, composed of salts from the sea, naturally generated by any number of factors, including ocean-water bubbles bursting from whitecaps or simply wind shearing them from waves. Generally, the higher the wind, the more natural SSAs are produced. However, they can also be produced industrially on giant floating barges and squirted into the atmosphere — and those are the SSAs that MCB employs.
The value of MCB's SSAs to SRM is primarily twofold. First of all, they're reflective. Really reflective. Really, really reflective. They essentially don't absorb any light at all, reflecting about 97 per cent of any light that shines upon them. Secondly, even sub-micron SSAs are highly hygroscopic, which is geek-speak for their ability to attract and hold onto water molecules. Thus, SSAs both reflect sunlight and help form clouds due to their high hygroscopy, and the clouds that they help form are quite bright due to the Twomey effect, hence the SRM term Marine Cloud Brightening. In addition, SSAs keep those clouds alive longer in a process called the Albrect effect [PDF]. The most effective way to induce — produce? — such stratocumulus clouds is over the oceans, hence the term Marine Cloud Brightening.
Stratospheric Aerosol Injection — SAI — works to accomplish the same reflective task, but in a manner both similar and different.
The similarity is easy: Both MCB and SAI aim to block the sun's energy from bouncing off the Earth's surface, exciting those GHGs, and thus warming the troposphere. The differences are also fairly straightforward: First of all, MCB would essentially be localized; its proponents suggest it would be sufficient to inject SSAs over just five per cent of the world's oceans in order to blunt the effects of global warming, with that injection focused most effectively, though not exclusively, in the eastern Pacific.
SAI, on the other hand, would inject its aerosols far more globally. Also, the most-studied candidate aerosols for SAI are inorganic sulfates, not MCB's sea salt aerosols. To put it simply — very, very simply — SAI would mimic the addition of sulfates into the upper atmosphere as has historically been provided by such volcanic eruptions as Mount Pinatubo in 1991, which measurably cooled the Earth for at least two years as its sulfate contributions circled the globe after combining with water vapor to transform into sulfuric acid aerosols.
You might reasonably be thinking, "Well, if either or both of these methods can buy us some time while we wean ourselves from our addiction to GHG-spewing fossil fuels, what's the problem? Go for it!" Well, sadly, there are some caveats that apply to both, and others that apply to each individually.
Now for the downsides
First, no SRM tech reduces the amount of GHGs that are already mucking up our ecosystems. For example, increased tropospheric CO2 contributes to ocean-acidification havoc as the Earth's oceans suck up a goodly chunk of the CO2 that we're pouring into the atmosphere. The resultant reduction in the ocean's pH levels makes it more difficult for our delicious underwater friends such as clams, shrimp, oysters, and lobsters to grow their necessary shells, plus coral reefs to grow their ... uh ... reefs. Ecosystem smackdown.
Second, once you start SRM, you better not stop until you’ve stopped producing GHGs. Neither MCB nor SAI do squat about the production of GHGs; they only mitigate their heat-trapping nastiness. If either MCB or SAI are stopped but you’ve continued to add GHGs to the atmosphere while they were in effect, well, Katy, bar the door: All the GHGs that were added during the SRM era will cause those increased heat-trapping gasses to redouble their efforts when the Sun's rays resume their warming of the Earth, but now they'll be amplified by a greater concentration of GHGs in the troposphere. Insta-toastiness.
But those weren't the already well-known effects that were troubling Chen Xing of the University of California at Santa Barbara and Antonios Mamalakis of the University of Virginia and Colorado State University during their talks at AGU23 this month. You might choose to file their insights under the all-too-familiar dolefulness of "Unintended Consequences."

- Greenpeace calls out tech giants for carbon footprint fumble
Xing spoke of her work analyzing the effects of MCB on the El Niño Southern Oscillation, often simply referred to as El Niño or by its more proper acronym, ENSO. The effects of this natural climate-cycle, among other things, cause trade winds to push warm Pacific water east towards the west coast of the Americas — El Niño — and then reverse, and push warm water east towards Asia — La Niña.
ENSO's effects are not merely felt locally, where they greatly affect weather and fishing abundance in both the east and west Pacific depending upon whether Niño or Niña is dominant, but more importantly in how they affect climate and weather events globally. The Pacific Ocean is huge. Its effect on the world's climate is huge. If the ENSO cycle should grind to a halt, the effect would be equally huge.
And that's exactly what Xing's modeling and analyses warn might very well happen if MCB is given the green light. To explore the effects on ENSO to be expected by the two leading SRM technologies, she modeled both SAI and MCB.
To model SAI, she used the well-accepted ARISE-SAI-1.5 simulation, which dials in the amounts and locations of SAI injections necessary to keep temperatures at the oft-stated goal of 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, even if GHG continue to rise at what's commonly known as the "middle of the road" level — called SSP2-4.5, for you lovers of initialisms.
When measuring MCB's effect on ENSO, she used on the commonly accepted Nino 3.4 Index, which tracks sea-surface temperatures to define El Niño and La Niña events. She then modeled MCB's future effects on that index using essentially the same Community Earth System Model 2 (CESM2) system, developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) that she used for SAI.
Xing's modeling produced two notable results. First, while MCB would indeed cause a quick and significant reduction in heat-causing solar radiation, its effect would wear off more quickly than would SAI's. Essentially, MCB buys you more cooling effects at first, but after that its effects track essentially similarly to the "middle of the road" SSP2-4.5 increases, although beginning at a lower temperature level. Temperatures in the SAI scenario, however, remain relatively constant, even with the SSP2-4.5 increase in GHGs, with the crossover between MCB and SAI occuring about 20 years after their inceptions.
MCB's second effect may be more troubling: It suppresses ENSO. SAI doesn't. What's more, MCB's suppressive effect on ENSO doesn't wear off as does its ability to keep temperatures down: Under MCB, temperatures rise along with GHGs, but ENSO is quickly suppressed and remains suppressed.
The reasons for this variance are complex, but they essentially involve MCB suppressing the air-sea feedbacks that produce the ENSO cycle, including reducing convection and deepening the ocean's thermocline, the temperature boundary between the ocean's deeper, colder zone and its warmer, more shallow zone. Under MCB, ENSO would settle into what could be described as an "eternal La Niña."
More headaches
To make MCB matters even more problematic, modeling performed by Jack Chen of NCAR and Cindy Wang of Princeton University, also speaking at AGU23, pointed out some additional caveats. Chen's research suggests that MCB injections as located by Xing and others could actually increase global warming in some regions, such as in Indonesia and Northern Australia. Wang's work shows a significant slowing of wind speed in the Southern Ocean, as well as lesser but noticeable wind-speed slowing off the eastern coast of Japan and between North America and the UK.
While Xing compared MCB and SAI and their impact on just one global climate driver, ENSO — although an exceptionally important one — Antonios Mamalakis looked specifically at SAI. He, however, broadened his analysis into a wider range of global impacts.
His research, detailed in a recent paper in Geophysical Research Letters, was focused on answering a simple but subtle question. As he put it at AGU23, "How distinguishable will the SAI climate be from the pre-deployment climate?" While one might quibble with his use of the word "will" rather than "would," it's a good — one might even say crucial — question.
Simply put, with an equal increase in GHGs, an SAI-influenced climate might not simply be cooler than a climate without SAI. It might also be different in terms of precipitation, droughts, wind, and whatever — and before we start injecting sulfate aerosols into the stratosphere it would be good to have some idea of how distinguishable those changes might be in an SAI-influenced world from a world without SAI.
To use a technical term universally accepted among climatological phraseologists, "Well, duh ..."
To accomplish his investigation, Mamalakis and his team used a proprietary tool built on "explainable artificial intelligence" (XAI), an analytical method of analysis he described as being "a new way ... not necessarily better, but a new way." (There's a lot to be said for the inherent humility essential to the scientific method, eh?)
Going deeper
His XAI system consisted of a neural network fed with data that came from both a model that simulated a global reference climate — good ol' SSP2-4.5 — and an SAI-influenced model simulated with ARISE-SAI-1.5. The goal was to have the network learn to discriminate whether the data came from the reference climate or the SAI climate. What was important after that learning phase was to be able to then query the XAI about how the different signals, whether they be local, global, or any combination, were distinguishable from a reference model of the climate both before SAI and without SAI. In other words, "How distinguishable will the SAI climate be from the pre-deployment climate" and from the ongoing climate without SAI, with warming increased at a rate projected by SSP2-4.5.
As Mamalakis described it, this method allowed the XAI to ferret out "the robust patterns of change that make the pre-deployment and SAI climates distinguishable." The more distinguishable the signals were from the "reference climate" — meaning before the period during which SAI was either employed or not — the larger their variance: the more distinguishable the pre-deployment and SAI-influenced variances were from the reference climate, the better the injection of SAIs slowed climate change, and the less distinguishable their variances from the reference climate, the less effective would be squirting all those sulfates into the stratosphere.
The results were interesting. An SAI-influenced future will allow some global-warming effects to increase, but will also tamp down others. However, being a scientist and neither a marketeer nor a politician, Mamalakis was quick to point out that his XAI's observations were not rock solid, with the SSP2-4.5 projections having an 85 per cent probability and the SAI projections weighing in globally at around 58 per cent. That word "globally," however, is an important one: In some locations, the SAI probability was higher.
Little effect
Mamalakis and his team asked the XAI to examine over twenty different climate variables with and without SAI, and to compare each to the reference model. Some variables were similar enough to be called essentially indistinguishable from the reference period: ocean heat content and ocean acidity, for example, were highly correlated between the SSP2-4.5 projection and the SAI projection, meaning that the injection of SAI had little effect.
What was perhaps more interesting were the XAI data that showed a divergence between "middle of the road" global warming as predicted by SSP2-4.5 and a future influenced by SAI. In these cases, the future effects of those two scenarios are quite distinguishable: drought frequency and severity, precipitation over both land and the oceans, and the extent of Arctic ice. Other climate science shows that those changes are amplified by climate change; Mamalakis' work shows they would be mitigated by SAI.
Shame about those wildfires. We'll just let the fossil fuel giants off the hook, then?
READ MOREAlso of interest was the regionality of some of the differences between the SAI and non-SAI futures. In general, global temperatures would be kept significantly close to those of the reference model if SAI is employed, but that cooling would not be globally consistent. For example, annual average temperatures would be much cooler over the north Atlantic, and maximum temperatures would drop in the middle latitudes of the southern hemisphere — think Argentina and eastern Australia. In addition, although annual precipitation and the length of droughts won't change much globally in an SAI-infused future from what we currently experience, regional drying-out would increase in the Amazon and tropical Africa.
What the work of Xing, Mamalakis, and their colleagues shows is that although geoengineering — specifically Marine Cloud Brightening and Stratospheric Aerosol Injection, in their case — holds promise in slowing global warming during the transition to clean energy, there's still much to be learned about the regional effects of any form of such tinkering. Tweaking Earth's climate systems in response to global warming–induced climate change is a classic example of what's known as a "wicked problem" — meaning one that is hard to articulate and can't be solved in any simple way or in a way that has a definitive ending. Global-warming mitigation and adaptation is a fiendishly complex process, not an open-and-shut case of: "Just do this and all will be well."
Luckily, the research of Xing, Mamalakis et al is only a fraction of what is being done globally by the many climate scientists who are investigating geoengineering. The scope of that effort is welcome, as there's still much to be learned before mankind embarks on a course as radical as attempting to reverse climate change through solar radiation management — if, in fact, it does so at all.
That said, each and every one of the AGU23 sessions that focused on global warming, climate change, geoengineering, and other such matters did bring to mind an irrefutable fact, one that was summed up in a margarine commercial some fifty years ago: "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature." ®

Takeaways, notes from OU's win over Monmouth
NORMAN — If there's anything this Oklahoma team has done consistently, it's flip the switch and take over the game quickly.
However, Monmouth made that difficult. In fact, the Hawks led 42-41 with 13:08 left to go in the game.
That's when the Sooners woke up. Otega Oweh converted a four-point play, Le'Tre Darthard hit a 3-pointer on the next possession and the Sooners got back-to-back dunks from Oweh and Jalon Moore.
In the span of just over four minutes, the Sooners went on a 17-1 run to completely take control of the game.
"We couldn’t get separation," OU coach Porter Moser said. "We got some separation. In the first half, we got (the lead) to like eight, but they kept cutting it. It was huge. Huge for his confidence and getting that and so much with the DCO. I thought our defense – we were getting gaps, getting stops.
"We just keep talking about continuing to defend. Continuing to defend and being hard to score against. I thought we were getting good shots... There's gonna be times where you're gonna get locked up offensively, but you better be defending. You better be locking up. And that's what I think this group has got, is, I think we're defending through offensive lulls, and that's what you've gotta have, especially heading into the Big 12."
It wasn't always pretty, but the Sooners again flipped the switch en route to a 72-56 New Year's Even win on Sunday at the Lloyd Noble Center, finishing the non-conference slate with a 12-1 record.
Here's two takeaways and some notes from the game:
Moore dominates the second half
The Sooners' defense came up huge, limiting Monmouth to just 36% shooting for the game. But Moore's offense in the second half was a catalyst, too.
Moore scored 15 of his game-high 21 points in the second half while making all six of his shot attempts and all three of his 3s. His other three makes? They were dunks.
"I thought Jalon Moore was playing so much within himself," Moser said. "... Early on, they came out on him so he drove. Then they stayed back, and he hit a shot. In transition, he’s ridiculous with his effort. You see guys who are athletic, but they don’t get their athleticism into the game. Jalon Moore gets his athleticism into the game so much. Running, jumping, energy. I thought he played a phenomenal game within himself."
In addition to his 21 points (8/10 shooting), Moore added six rebounds, two blocks and a steal. His 21 points were his second most of the season.
Javian McCollum, Milos Uzan lead the offense
Through 13 games, McCollum and Uzan have established a rhythm in the backcourt. When they play together, McCollum plays in more of a score-first role, while Uzan is more of a facilitator. Moser also staggers their minutes, leaving one of them on the floor at all times.
Against Monmouth, they played well individually and together. McCollum finished with 11 points (4/8 shooting), eight assists and five rebounds, while Uzan added 10 points (3/6 shooting) and eight assists.
The two guards combined for 16 assists and only three turnovers.
“I tell you what, the last couple of games they’re taking care of the ball so well," Moser said. "Eight assists each. 16 assists, three turnovers between those two. They had no turnovers in our last game. I thought that was a real positive. It’s great. It’s such a luxury because one of them went out and the next thing you know, we went on a run. It’s just such a luxury having two guys you’ve got complete confidence in with the ball.”
NOTES
— Free throws ended up playing a crucial role for OU. By the time Monmouth took its first free throws of the game at the 10:56 mark of the second half, OU had already made 8-of-11 attempts. Not coincidentally, the Sooners were leading by eight.
— Kaden Cooper and Luke Northweather had some early rotation minutes in the first few weeks of the season, but a path to playing time in conference play seems unlikely for both. Cooper hadn't played the last two games before logging one garbage-time minute against Monmouth. Northweather has played just two minutes in the last three games.
Both young players have potential, but it could be awhile before either of them consistently crack the rotation.
— Former OU athlete Ryan Minor unfortunately passed away on Dec. 22 at the age of 49. Minor was an accomplished basketball player with the Sooners, earning the Big Eight Player of the Year award in 1995 and led the conference in scoring twice. He also played in both the NBA and the MLB.
Moser shared a tribute to Minor during the postgame press conference.
"I totally remember him as a player. I was at Texas A&M and I was even earlier than that before he was there. You knew as a player how good he was, but the thing that just absolutely blows my mind is the outpouring of how good a person he was. And I didn't put it together, being afar, how good he was at baseball too. I just knew him as a basketball player. I didn't know, and then you hear how good he was at both and how hard he worked at both. And then it's just mind blowing to get to the bigs in both. The NBA and Major League Baseball. That's like... you're elite of elite of elite if you can do that.
"But the coolest thing is what I told our guys, is all that's great, but the legacy he's leaving is how he did it. Like, high character, work ethic. Everybody, he had time for everybody. Literally, there's not a person that doesn't say, 'Oh man, he's one of my favorite people and he's one of my favorite players.' What a legacy that is."
— Up next for the Sooners? A home game against Iowa State next Saturday at 5 p.m. to kickoff Big 12 play.
Moser already knows what to expect.
"We know that the conference is the conference," Moser said. "It is what it is. We haven’t gotten ahead of ourselves. I thought these guys did a great job of one game in a row. The biggest game is the game right in front of you. Now we know they can (put) the non-conference in the bank. We know we’re in the best conference in the country. We know every game is going to be an absolute barn burner. I just think with the way this league is, the defenses, it’s unprecedented."

Bollywood celebrities are heading out of the city to ring in the New Year at exotic locations and the latest to join the list is Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal. The couple was spotted at the Mumbai airport on Sunday morning, heading out of the city, just hours before 2024 sets in.
Dressed for a chilly weather, Katrina Kaif sported a stunning black jacket over a crisp white shirt and pants.
She completed her OOTD with black boots. Twinning with her, Vicky sported an all-black attire and a grey jacket. The couple was spotted walking hand-in-hand towards the airport entry. Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal will celebrate New Year at an undisclosed destination. The couple celebrated Christmas at their pad in Mumbai with family and friends. And for New Year, they were spotted heading for a solo getaway.
Recently, when Vicky Kaushal graced the couch at Koffee with Karan season 8, the actor had opened up about his proposal to Katrina Kaif. He had said, “It was very dramatic, but it was not as well planned as Sid and Kiara. It was very last minute. I had been warned by everybody that if you don’t propose, it’s something you’ll have to be prepared for for the rest of your life that you got to hear about it. I did that one day before the wedding. On the first night that we reached there, we planned a special dinner. It was a beautiful setup and everything. There was dinner just before any of the friends or families could come. It was just us, so, yeah, it happened there.”
Merry Christmas - Title Track (Audio)

PHILADELPHIA -- All week, Arizona Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon tried to downplay his return to Philadelphia, a place he's been vilified since the Eagles blew a 10-point lead in the Super Bowl last season when Gannon was their defensive coordinator.
On Sunday, Gannon had the last laugh.
The Cardinals, who closed as 12.5-point underdogs, upset the Eagles 35-31 at Lincoln Financial Field behind as impressive of an offensive performance by Arizona as it's had in this four-win season.
After not being able to find the end zone in the first half, the Cardinals scored on all four of their second-half possessions, outscoring the Eagles 29-10 in the final two quarters.
"I'm happy for the players," Gannon said. "Honestly, obviously the year has been a tough year. We didn't do enough to earn the right to play in January [in the playoffs]. So, I was really proud of them down 21-6 versus a good team.
"You could lay down there and get beat by 30. Guys did not do that. So really just happy for the guys how they responded all week and a good win down the road versus a good football team."
A surprising decision to call an onside kick after Arizona tied it at 28 with 5:30 left in the fourth quarter turned out to work in the Cardinals' favor.
Gannon, who expected the Eagles to be aggressive and go for a touchdown, didn't want Philadelphia to have a chance to run out the clock, which is exactly what the Eagles tried to do with the short field. However, after starting at Arizona's 39, they gained just 14 yards and, to a chorus of boos, kicked a field goal to take a 31-28 lead with 2:37 left.
Then Murray continued to do what he had been doing all second half: March the Cardinals to the end zone.
At the 2-minute warning, Gannon told his star quarterback to "go win it." Murray said he didn't need the extra motivation, but he listened. Gannon was so confident that he got on his headset and presciently told the other coaches listening that the Cardinals would end up winning.
Arizona marched 70 yards as running back James Conner capped the game-winning drive with a 2-yard touchdown run.
"We executed and we did our thing and it's good," Murray said. "It's good to feel that. Obviously with everything that's happened, a lot of disappointment this year, a lot of tough losses. But trying to finish the season off the right way."
For the first time all season, Gannon gave the Cardinals a "Victory Monday" -- a day off -- to ring in the New Year.
The drive capped an impressive second half for the Cardinals. After receiving the second-half kick, they went on an offensive tear, scoring touchdowns on all four of their possessions. Murray was nearly perfect in the second half, completing 13-of-14 passes with two touchdowns. He finished with 232 yards, three TDs and an interception on 25-of-31 passing for a passer rating of 116.7.
"Phenomenal," rookie wide receiver Michael Wilson said of Murray. "Kyler that we all love."
Added tight end Trey McBride: "He's a monster. He's awesome. There's not many guys that can not practice all week and go out and play a game and do what he did. So, I got a lot of respect for him. He's a heck of a player."
Since he's returned from ACL surgery, Murray has led the Cardinals to a 3-4 record. Sunday's game was his most complete performance of his short season, but he downplayed the idea that he's finally back to his old self.
"No, I wouldn't say, 'Oh, it's just ...'" Murray said, trailing off. "It's just being a form. Whatever that peak level for whoever the individual is. Like, today was -- I think we would've played with anybody."
Conner rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown, and he had a one-handed touchdown catch as well. He set career highs in first-half carries and yards on Sunday.
"Kyler was lights out today. James Conner was lights out," Gannon said. "The [offensive] line, that's a really good front. We ran it up and down the field."
Arizona's second half was a vast difference from its first. Before they went on to pull off their fifth-biggest road upset of the Super Bowl era, according to ESPN Stats and Information, the Cardinals stalled in the red zone twice in the first two quarters, settling for Matt Prater field goals of 28 and 34 yards. They trailed 21-6 at halftime after Murray threw an interception on a miscommunication with Wilson that Eagles safety Sydney Brown returned 99 yards. Then the second half started.
"I just think it was just getting in a groove," Murray said. "... Just being in the moment focusing on that play, understanding the concepts and what we're trying to accomplish and execute. Not worrying about anything before or after. Letting it go."
Stoic and stone-faced at the podium after the game, Gannon again tried to downplay his return, but players said all week that the coach had talked about this game to the team behind closed doors. And the Cardinals could tell it meant something to the 40-year-old Gannon.
"I know he wanted to win it really badly," Murray said. "... I would want to win it, so I know the guys felt that energy from him, that we wanted to come out here and do it for him."
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts felt like Gannon's history with the Eagles helped him Sunday afternoon.
"Absolutely," Hurts said. "He sat there in those meetings with us. He's been in those meetings. He's heard kind of what we're thinking in certain situations and we practiced against them every day for the last two years."
The first person to greet Gannon on the field before the game was Eagles general manager Howie Roseman. The two embraced, and then had a conversation. Then Gannon embraced Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and they chatted, before Gannon did the same thing with Eagles coach Nick Sirianni.
After the game, a handful of Eagles players lined up to greet the former assistant.
"This place was awesome for me," Gannon said. "Working for Nick and the Philadelphia Eagles, you guys know I loved it here. That's the reason I'm sitting at the podium right now ... that organization and Mr. Lurie and Howie and Nick. It was great to see them ... and I'm always pulling for him, but not today."

Director Shiladitya Bora's debut film, ‘Bhagwan Bharose' has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first Indian film ever selected for the prestigious Snowdance Independent Film Festival in Essen, Germany. The cast includes Vinay Pathak, Satendra Soni, Sparsh Suman, Manu Rishi Chadha, Masumeh Makhija, and Shrikant Verma, among others.
Snowdance primarily showcases films created with minimal or no state funding, and it particularly favors productions not heavily influenced by TV stations or major studios.
Considered the primary German festival for independent and free-thinking filmmakers, Snowdance has gained a reputation for featuring authentic independent cinema.
Director Shiladitya Bora expressed his admiration for Snowdance, describing it as a beacon for authentic independent cinema. He emphasized the festival's commitment to selecting true-blue quality independent films, distinguishing them from studio-funded productions posing as independent. Over the last decade, Snowdance has evolved into one of Europe's premier indie festivals.
According to Bora, ‘Bhagwan Bharose’ receiving recognition at Snowdance is not merely an accolade but a testament to its quality and compelling narrative. The film's selection was made by a distinguished jury, including Torben Schiller, Sales Director at Universal Pictures International Germany GmbH, acclaimed actor Nina Proll, political scientist and journalist Wolfram Winter, and actress Valerie Niehaus, supported by key figures in the German film scene.
The film has garnered additional recognition, serving as the closing feature at the 9th Jaffna International Cinema Festival in Sri Lanka. Soon, it is slated to be screened at the Doris Duke Theatre, the largest independent arthouse theater in Hawai'i, located at the Honolulu Museum of Art (HoMA).
Did you know Karan Johar once admitted Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji starrer 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' was problematic? Here's what he said
‘Bhagwan Bharose’ revolves around Satendra Soni and Sparsh Suman, two young individuals whose perspectives on faith undergo constant scrutiny and transformation as their world expands. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of their country's rapidly changing socio-political landscape. The film features original music by the Indian Ocean, pioneers of the fusion rock genre in India, known for their work in ‘Peepli Live’ and ‘Masaan.’

Two-time Grand Slam champion Petra Kvitova started the new year by announcing she is expecting her first child.

Actor Chunky Panday is extremely proud of his daughter Ananya Panday, who within a few years into the movies has carved a niche for herself. Her latest release Kho Gaye Hum Kahan has got her a lot of accolades for her performance and insiders reveal that her debut web show Call Me Bae will definitely cement her position as a competent actress.
EXCLUSIVE: Shah Rukh Khan's EPIC invite to Siddhant Chaturvedi & friends at Mannat | Ananya Panday
Talking about his daughter in the book Raising Stars, by Rashmi Uchil, Chunky revealed that he felt extremely proud when he got Lady Gaga to sing “Happy Birthday” for Ananya.
Elaborating more he said that Ananya was the first daughter in the family and everyone was extremely excited when she was born.
Chunky amusingly disclosed that Ananya's birth coincided precisely nine months and 16 days after his wedding to Bhavana. Strikingly, both Chunky and Bhavana were born the same duration after their respective parents' marriages. Ananya, in a delightful coincidence, became part of their inaugural wedding anniversary celebration.
Recalling a Lady Gaga story, Chunky shared that he has pampered both his daughters and his niece, having set the bar too high for the men in their life. He shared that Ananya and her friends had accompanied him to the Grand Prix in Delhi where Lady Gaga was to perform for the inaugural ceremony. He met the singer there and happened to tell her that it was his daughter’s birthday and she just broke into the song, everyone present joined her and that made Ananya’s day all the more special.

Veteran actress Zeenat Aman took to her Instagram handle to share a clip from
Mumbai airport of her stumbling upon on mural.
In the video, Zeenat Aman can be seen passing by the live-sized mural while on a travelator. She was seemingly leaving for her New Year holiday.
Sharing the video, she wrote, “The past is etched in stone, or in this case, painted on the walls! You can't change it, but you can always shape the future.”
"2023 was a raucous and productive year for me, let’s see how 2024 unfolds.
I’m grateful to each one of you on this journey with me. Cheers to chapters unwritten, a canvas untouched and a year filled with infinite joy." She added.
Recently, the actress who celebrated her 72nd birthday a few months back, treated her fans to a heartfelt post, thanking her family and friends, who ensured that she lives "to a ripe old age and be able to look back at the decades gone by without regrets and with grace."
She wrote, "today - an expression of unadulterated gratitude for my life. For the pinnacles and pitfalls that have gifted me resilience and self belief. For my small, loving family of two-legged and four-legged beings. For a circle of friends that has endured through decades. For a mind that is alive and curious still. For a body that occasionally aches, but yet persists. For the love and kindness each one of you has given me. And for the opportunities that flow my way as a result."

Actor Prateik Chaudhary, who is currently seen playing the role of protagonist Sanjeev Chandel in the TV show 'Tose Nainaa Milaaike', says 2023 was a
blessing for him in terms of work, which he worhsips.
He says, "I think it's worth reflecting back upon the past years as the new year begins. And I see that each year helped me to become a better and an experienced individual.
For me, work is worship and I am focusing on living with a
positive attitude and controlling negative thoughts so that they don’t impact any outcome of my life. Also I believe in enjoying the journey, not just the destination."
The actor has no regrets in life. He continues, "I carry no regrets in life, with time I realised that it’s okay to make mistakes. And I just make sure to learn from them, forgive myself, and move on. I always look forward to being adventurous by trying new things and taking more risks. And I am always thankful for what I have now instead of thinking about what is missing."
Recounting his success in 2023 and sharing his plans for the year 2024, he says, "2023 was a blessing. I made lots of memories. And one thing I will remember about this year will be that I got my first show as a lead. This will be very special and for 2024, I'm happy to embrace it in the flow, I just wish to use my energy wisely because spending energy complaining, worrying, or being impatient is just wasted energy. I also want to gain more courage to change things that should be changed and accept that there are some things that cannot be changed."
Prateik, has been part of shows like Paramavatar Shri Krishna and played the parallel lead in Sindoor Ki Keemat.

In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
In a meeting on Sunday with commanding army officers, Kim said it is urgent to sharpen “the treasured sword” to safeguard national security, an apparent reference to his country’s nuclear weapons program. He cited “the U.S. and other hostile forces’ military confrontation moves,” according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
Kim stressed that “our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment’s hesitation” if they opt for military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, KCNA said.
Experts say small-scale military clashes between North and South Korea could happen this year along their heavily armed border. They say North Korea is also expected to test-launch intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland U.S. and other major new weapons.
In 2018-19, Kim met Trump in three rounds of talks on North Korea's expanding nuclear arsenal. The diplomacy fell apart after the U.S. rejected Kim's limited offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
Estimates of the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from about 20-30 bombs to more than 100. Many foreign experts say North Korea still has some technological hurdles to overcome to produce functioning nuclear-armed ICBMs, though its shorter-range nuclear-capable missiles can reach South Korea and Japan.

Key thing missing in Australia’s Iraq war decision
John Howard had decided to join the United States-led invasion of Iraq before he took the matter to cabinet.
So adamant was he that no submissions to cabinet were ever made.
Instead, the then-prime minister relied on the dozens of discussions he’d had with the powerful National Security Council.
But what happened behind those closed doors, and whether the group ever considered the protracted conflict that would come from their invasion, remains secret.
Twenty years on from the war the United Nations branded “illegal”, to which Australia committed 2000 troops, a tranche of cabinet documents from 2003 have been released by the National Archives of Australia on Monday.
While hundreds of submissions and cabinet minutes have been released, documents from inside the powerful cabinet subcommittee are not captured in the Archives Act and remain unpublished.
Within the dossier that has been released, there is just one cabinet minute pertaining to the looming Iraq conflict from March 18, 2003 – the day before the invasion began – in which cabinet noted two oral submissions from Mr Howard.
In his address to cabinet, he stressed the belief Australia shared with the US and other like minded partners that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and posed a risk to international security.
The oral reports he gave to cabinet on March 18, 2003 – the day before the invasion began – noted the “extensive” discussions Mr Howard had with then-US president George W Bush and then-UK prime minister Tony Blair.
The newly released documents reveal Mr Howard told cabinet that hours earlier, Mr Bush had requested Australia join the coalition of the willing to disarm Iraq if Saddam Hussein failed to comply with a freshly-issued ultimatum to surrender and leave Iraq.
The cabinet noted that all signs pointed to Iraq possessing the weapons, and what risk that posed to “international peace and security”; the “potential to damage gravely” Australia’s security; and the risk of those weapons falling into the hands of terrorists.
The cabinet noted Hussein had failed to comply with the United Nations Security Council’s resolutions, but although the council did not sanction the invasion, the US forged ahead.
Iraq a ‘political decision’
For cabinet historian David Lee, the cabinet documents – or lack thereof in the case of Iraq – reinforces that Mr Howard’s decision on Iraq was, as Robert Garran had written in 2004, “political, not based on a dispassionate appraisal of the threats it possessed”.
Mr Howard himself has since written that the decision to go into Iraq was not just because of Australia’s own belief that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, but also because of the close relationship and alliance Australia had with the US.
“What we do see from this is that Howard, as a conservative PM in the sense of the government, wanted the decision on intervention to go to full cabinet. It does do that, just not with a submission,” Professor Lee said.
“The absence of a submission indicates to me that there was a strong disposition that the government is going to support this decision, and really, they don’t want any stumbling blocks in the way of going ahead with this decision.”
Professor Lee posits that a written cabinet submission from the department of foreign affairs and trade, or legal advice from the solicitor-general could have slowed down or hindered what Mr Howard saw as inevitable.
Professor Lee says the lack of submissions to cabinet reinforced how willing Mr Howard’s government was to join the US.
“If the cabinet wanted a submission, it would (ask),” he said.
“It is regrettable that this didn’t happen because had cabinet had a full picture of the nature of the intelligence, the nature of Iraq, the potential geopolitical changes such as making Iran more powerful – these are all things that argued against the decision.”
Robert Hill, who was defence minister from 2002, said there are “a few lessons” to learn,
He said debate on whether or not Australia should take up the US’ request had happened, just not in front of the whole cabinet.
“Certainly the costs and the capabilities that we might best contribute and what were the risks associated with (the decision) … all of that in depth analysis, all of those issues were debated within the NSC,” he said.
“The difficulty with the full cabinet is that it’s not really structured for that detailed debate and analysis.”
Cabinet may not have received submissions or been the site of any discussion, but then-defence minister Robert Hill says that was all happening in the National Security Committee.
The cabinet minute from March 18 noted a memorandum of advice provided from, among others, the attorney-general’s department, that said the use of force against Iraq would be “consistent with Australia’s obligations under international law”.
The attorney-general “fully concurred with the advice”.
Mr Hill said cabinet had felt confident in its legal justification.
“In the end, our justifications was the flow on from the two UN resolutions, when we believed we couldn’t be satisfied with the requirements put on him (Saddam),” he said.
Professor Lee said Mr Howard might have faced a tougher time joining the invasion had the Governor-General at the time not been a clergyman.
Peter Hollingworth had sought the views of the attorney-general on the matter, to which Mr Howard intervened, telling him “no involvement was necessary” because any decision could be made without recourse to him.
“Had the governor-general in 2003 not been a clergyman but a lawyer as versed in constitutional law and practice as Kerr or Sir Ninian Stephen or Sir William Deane all were, he or she may well have insisted on advice from the attorney-general,” he posited.
The aftermath
In the end, the coalition never found the weapons, and the invasion soon descended into a regime topple that ultimately led to insurgency and to a civil war, with the protracted conflict continuing until 2011.
The newly released documents suggest cabinet in 2003 did not consider what might happen in the aftermath of the invasion.
Mr Hill said that 20 years of reflection had proved powerful, conceding there were things the government could have done better.
“Maybe we should have been more sceptical and kept pressing the intelligence services, but the difficulty was that all of the major intelligence services around the Western world held the same view (that Iraq had WMDs),” Mr Hill said.
“So maybe we (could have done things better), but I don’t know that even if we had persevered longer on that issue it would have added more clarity.
“There have been a few lessons, and I do think it is important to try to learn from history and try to learn from these experiences what goes right and what goes wrong.”
In the weeks after the invasion began, Mr Howard updated cabinet sporadically.
On April 1, cabinet noted an oral report from Mr Howard regarding the “progress of military operations and the contributions made by the ADF”.
Then, in June, the NSC noted the conflict in Iraq was having an impact on Australia’s humanitarian program.
In a submission from the immigration minister, Phillip Ruddock noted that – in keeping with the Howard government’s broader strategy on tackling people smuggling and irregular migration – the government would need to work to ensure both voluntary and involuntary returns of Iraqis were done “in a timely manner”.
He added that Iraqis had made up 41 per cent of all illegal boat arrivals between 1999 and 2001.
Professor Lee said it remained a mystery whether the political fallout of the invasion had any bearing on Mr Howard’s decision, saying he hoped those documents might soon be released.

BARNEVELD, Wis. (WMTV) - An 11-year-old girl who was abducted was found safe in Barneveld at a Kwik Trip on Saturday.
Authorities say she was abducted from Indiana, where there was a Silver Alert out for her return.
The Iowa County Sheriff’s Office said they were notified that a vehicle at a Kwik Trip in Barneveld was involved in an Indiana Silver Alert, and that the occupants of the vehicle were possibly armed.
While the Iowa County Sheriff’s Office was on their way to Barneveld, they were told that the vehicle was traveling in the Township of Dodgeville on USH 18/151.
The City of Dodgeville Police Department was dispatched to assist the Iowa County Sheriff’s Office and found the vehicle traveling south on USH 151. The Dodgeville Police Department and the Iowa County Sheriff’s Office initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle.
The 11-year-old child was safely removed from the vehicle and three adults were taken into custody. Those three people are in their twenties and from South Dakota. They all had warrants for Kidnapping of a Minor out of Wells Co., Indiana.
During the investigation, USH 151 southbound was shut down for about 20 minutes.
The Iowa County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Dodgeville Police Department, Mineral Point Police Department, Wisconsin Department of Justice-DCI, Iowa County Social Services, and Iowa County Highway Department.
“I can’t thank everyone enough. Being out there with this great group of professionals, watching all these agencies come together, taking these three adults into custody quickly, and removing this 11-year-old female from this situation so she can return to her family is an amazing feeling,” Iowa County Sheriff Michael Peterson said. “Thank you for making a difference in our communities.”
Iowa County Sheriff’s Office Detectives and Wisconsin Department of Justice-DCI Agents are currently investigating the incident.

Rapper Lil Wayne is not only considered one of the best rappers of his generation but also one of the coolest dads.
The Young Money music mogul, who discovered both Nicki Minaj and Drake, is the proud father of three boys and one girl.
During the Christmas holiday break, the 41-year-old father took his three sons out for a guys night to see the Los Angeles Lakers at the Crypto.com Arena on Thursday, Dec. 28. The “Lollipop” chart-topper was captured courtside with his eldest son, Dwayne, 15, from his relationship with Sarah Vivan, Kameron, 14, from his relationship with Lauren London, and Neal, 14, from his relationship with Nivea Hamilton.
Each boy smiled at the camera as paparazzi rushed to snap the Carter men as the Lakers dominated the Charlotte Hornets 133-112.
Fans also loved seeing the foursome after pictures circulated on social media.

— Crypto Weezy (@Crypto_Weezyy) December 29, 2023
One thing that fans noticed is how one son, Neal Carter, seems to be the spitting image of him, sharing his chocolate brown complexion, while the other two, Dwayne and Kameron, favor their mothers, who are lighter skinned.
“The printer was running low on Wayne with the one on the end. They are an adorable bunch of Waynes tho,” one person joked.
Nivea’s son, Neal, not only shares his father’s complexion but also his swag. A couple could not help but write, “One is wayning more than the others” and “Damn that little boy with the dreads is literally mini Lil Wayne.”
The children may not all have the same skin tone as their dad, but they all have his face, as this wasn’t the first instance where people noted the striking resemblance between the children and their dad.
Earlier in the year, London brought Kameron to a Lakers game, and fans couldn’t help but notice the uncanny similarity between him and his Grammy Award-winning father. Comments poured in about their “strong genes,” describing Kameron as a literal “copy + paste” of his dad.
Missing from the crew was Reginae, Wayne’s oldest child and only daughter. The 25-year-old socialite and reality star is probably the best known of all his children.
She and her mother, Toya Johnson-Rushing, have made a way for themselves by breaking into reality television and branching off into books and other businesses. The onetime Clark Atlanta University student is never shy about sharing her family with her 7.2 million followers.

Dame Esther Rantzen calls for a choice on assisted dying in 2024 after revealing she is considering going to Dignitas if her stage four lung cancer worsens - as poll indicates strong public support
Dame Esther Rantzen has made renewed calls for assisted dying to be made an option for terminally ill people after families watching loved ones go through palliative care have had their memories 'obliterated'.
The veteran broadcaster, 83, has urged MPs to hold a debate when Parliament returns into 2024 for a free vote on assisted dying, where politicians are not controlled by the party whip.
It comes just weeks after the Childline founder, who has stage four lung cancer, revealed that she had joined the assisted dying clinic Dignitas in Switzerland as an option in case her health does not improve.
Dame Esther said: 'I think as a humane decision to have the debate as soon as possible, to have a free vote, would be right for millions of people - at least we would discuss it.'
According to a survey by Deltapoll 71 per cent of the public supported assisted dying being made legal in the UK with 13 per cent opposing and 16 per cent being unsure. Meanwhile 72 per cent supported plans for a free vote.
Dame Esther Rantzen (pictured in summer 2020) revealed that she has joined assisted-dying clinic Dignitas earlier this month
Dame Esther (pictured at her home in the New Forest with her four grandchildren) explained to her family that she didn't 'want their last memories of me to be painful'
The broadcasting legend said the poll indicating strong public support, is due to people feeling 'that's all we're asking for, is the choice'.
'We're not asking for this to be imposed on anyone, people have very strong beliefs, some religious beliefs, which would make it impossible for them, we fully understand that,' she told the Mirror.
'But the rest of us I think feel that we want to be able to choose a death which does not mean our family has to watch us suffering.
'I think for me that is my principle concern because I know a memory of a bad death, a painful death, somebody who is longing to die but is being kept alive and suffering, that memory obliterates previous memories of happiness, or can do.
'What we don't want now is for people who are adamantly against assisted dying to impose their views on us.'
Dying in Dignity told the paper that the poll showed 'the vast majority of the British public want to see a new law that gives dying people choice and control over the ends of their lives'.
Currently, assisted suicide is banned in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, with a maximum prison sentence of 14 years. A bill to make assisted dying legal failed to pass in 2015.
Since Dame Esther announced that she planned to 'buzz off to Zurich' if the new medication to treat her cancer stopped working, politicians have been voicing their support for another parliamentary vote.
Tory MP Mel Stride, who was one of 27 Conservative MPs to vote in favour of legalising assisted dying eight years ago, said he was 'not averse' to another parliamentary vote.
Speaking on the issue he made clear that the Government would not bring forward fresh legislation on the issue but signaled that he would be happy to debate it further.
The minister, who was elected in 2010, told the Today Programme: 'The government has not decided to bring forward legislation, I think I need to make that very clear.

'But if Parliament in some form or another decided that it wanted to have a fresh look at this, given it was some years ago that we last did so, that's not something that I would be resistant to.'
Another Tory MP Alicia Kearns has called for another vote on legalising assisted dying.
Tweeting after Dame Esther revealed her plan, the MP for Rutland and Melton said: 'Dame Esther is absolutely right, Parliament needs to have a vote on assisted dying, and it needs to be a free vote.'
She said there had been a 'fundamental shift in the country' and 'in parliament' since 2015.
Ms Kearns told the BBC: 'Since I was elected we've had a number of debates on this and you can barely get a chance to speak.
'The amount of my colleagues who say I've reflected, I've changed my views… I really do think that the national conversation has changed.'
Levelling Up minister Michael Gove also thought it would be 'appropriate' to 'revist' the issue in the Commons, despite not being personally persuaded.
He said earlier this month: 'I am not yet persuaded of the case for assisted dying but I do think it's appropriate for the Commons to revisit this.

Rebecca Wilcox previously said she fears she could be accused of murder if she helps her seriously ill mother travel to Dignitas
'I think it was in the last Parliament that we had a debate on it and as I say, I am not yet persuaded but I would want to listen with humility to Dame Esther and others outline the case.'
Health Secretary Victoria Atkins, however, refused to give her personal view on the vote, citing her 'responsibility' as a minister.
Ms Atkins said she recognised how 'incredibly emotional' the issue is, but re-stated the Government's line that it should be up to Parliament whether or not to have another debate on changing the law.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman previously said the Government position has not changed so it remains a matter for Parliament to decide.
On the other side of the bench Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting agreed that Parilament 'would probably be in a different place' now than it was eight years ago.
He previously told LBC: 'When I first became an MP we had a vote on assisted dying in Parliament. It was lost heavily. I think Parliament probably be in a different place now. This will be a free vote issue anyway, so Labour wouldn't have a position.'
Dame Esther revealed her plans earlier this month, telling the BBC's Today: 'I have in my brain though, well, if the next scan says nothing's working I might buzz off to Zurich but, you know, it puts my family and friends in a difficult position because they would want to go with me. And that means that the police might prosecute them.
The veteran broadcaster, 83, (pictured in October 2022) has urged MPs to hold a debate when Parliament returns into 2024 for a free vote
Dame Esther said that she had discussed the issue with her family and they had told her it was her 'decision' and 'choice'
The broadcaster, 83, has called for a free vote on assisted dying as it's 'important that the law catches up with what the country wants'
So we've got to do something. At the moment, it's not really working, is it?'
Dame Esther said that she had discussed the issue with her family and they had told her it was her 'decision' and 'choice'.
She continued: 'I explained to them that actually I don't want their last memories of me to be painful because if you watch someone you love having a bad death, that memory obliterates all the happy times and I don't want that to happen.
'I don't want to be that sort of victim in their lives.'
Yet after the announcement was made her daughter Rebecca Wilcox spoke of how she would 'want to ground the plane' if her mother decided to fly to Dignitas.
She told ITV's Good Morning Britain: 'She never makes a decision in complete isolation, but she doesn't care what anyone else says.
'It's horrific and she always promised us she would live forever. She's not usually one to break her promises so we're a little upset about that.
'I would personally want to ground her plane if she was going to fly to Zurich but I know it's her decision. I just don't ever want her to go.'
Speaking after Christmas she gave a heart-breaking insight into what could be her last Christmas Day with her mother, but added she was 'determined to make the most of it'.
'It’s not often that you know beforehand it will be the last time you will dish out turkey and pull crackers at the table with your mother, but that’s what this year has been for us,' she told the Mirror.
'She thought she would be dead in spring, but a miraculous drug has meant that we have another Christmas with her, a wonder we couldn’t have imagined possible when she was diagnosed in January. I was determined to make the most of it.'
An inquiry into perspectives on assisted dying in England and Wales was launched in December 2022 and the Health and Social Care Committee is due to publish its report on the issue.

Singer-actor Zahrah S Khan is all set to bid farewell to 2023 on a high note. Reason? The world will celebrate too, on her birthday, as it rings in the New Year.
“It really makes me feel special because it’s double the fun - we all look forward to a New Year but in my case it’s like New Year plus my birthday, so double the celebration,” she says talking about bringing in her birthday on January 1.
She adds, “The goal on my birthday is, ‘let’s make this year even better than the last one’! I think time is beautiful and as years pass by, we learn and grow so much as human beings, so it’s a beautiful teaching that time blesses you with.”
Zahrah, yesteryear actor-singer Salma Agha's daughter, is known for her Bollywood songs Kusu Kusu from Satyameva Jayate 2 (2021), The Punjaabban Song from Jugjugg Jeeyo (2022), Kudiyee Ni Teri (Selfiee, 2023) with The PropheC and others. Earlier this year, she also performed live for her fans at the Rema concert held in Mumbai.
Zahrah, who marked her acting debut with Aurangzeb (2013) along with Arjun Kapoor, is looking forward to an international collab while she gears up for the release of her film in 2024. “I like to make every year better than the last! 2023 will always be special because it gave me ‘Love Stereo Again’ and ‘Vrushabha! And 2024 is again giving me another amazing year that kickstarts with an amazing artist I’m about to collab with, plus the release of my film. I have got to make 2024 even better than 2023!”

National Archives release photo of Prince Harry, former governor general 20 years on
Long before he married Meghan Markle and made a new life for himself away from royal life, Prince Harry spent a “gap year” in the Australian outback, where he said he had the “best weeks of (his) life”.
A tranche of cabinet documents and photos, released from the National Archives of Australia on Monday, include a photo of a then 19-year-old prince with Governor General Michael Jeffery and his wife Marlena, near the end of his time in the former colony.

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

Did Queen Margrethe give up the throne to keep Denmark's beloved Princess Mary on side? Monarch's shock move sparks questions over whether her hand was forced by 'affair' rumours between her scandal-hit son Crown Prince Frederik and a Mexican socialite
Queen Margrethe's decision to abdicate the throne in January has sparked speculation the aging monarch is attempting to keep her beloved daughter-in-law, Princess Mary, in the fold.
The Danish head of state shocked the nation and many royal watchers around the world when she used her annual New Year's Eve speech to announce live on television that she was stepping down as Queen after 52 years.
In her address the 83-year-old said she had taken stock after undergoing back surgery last year and had decided it was it was time 'to leave the responsibility to the next generation' - namely her eldest son Crown Prince Frederik.
However, the timing of the move has raised questions, as it comes just weeks after Frederik hit the headlines when he was pictured on a night out in Madrid with a Mexican socialite, sparking rumours of an alleged 'affair'.
Speculation is mounting that the decision was made to keep Frederik's wife of 19 years Princess Mary, who is extremely popular with the public, on side.
Queen Margrethe announced she will abdicate the throne on January 14, passing it to her son Crown Prince Frederik. Pictured: Her Majesty during her New Year's speech, in which she announced her abdication
The decision means that from January 14 Crown Prince Frederik will become king, while his wife Princess Mary will become queen. Pictured: Frederik and Mary at the Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen in November

Princess Mary, who is set to become the first Australian-born queen in a number of weeks, has won over the Danish public with her dedication to royal duty and her fluency in the language.
A recent poll found 85 per cent of Danes have a positive opinion of the 51-year-old, who met her husband in a packed pub in Sydney 23 years ago and had no idea he was royalty.
Her husband is also similarly popular, having turned his public image around from being a rebel tearaway and party boy during his youth to becoming a 'woke' family man.
Since meeting the couple have got married and have four children together, including their oldest son Christian who will take over his father's role of crown prince on January 14 when Queen Margrethe abdicates.
However, their relationship came under scrutiny last year when Frederik was spotted on a night out with Mexican reality star Genoveva Casanova in October.
While the Royal Household refused to comment on photos of the pair together, Genoveva issued a public statement denying any kind of romantic relationship and called the rumours 'malicious'.
Despite the swirling rumours of the alleged 'affair', the 55-year-old Crown Prince and his Australian-born wife, 51, appeared loved up as they headed into Aarhus cathedral on Sunday, December 24.However, the news of Queen Margrethe's shock abdication has sparked speculation that the monarch is stepping down to preserve the marriage of her son and try to stop his supremely popular wife leaving.
Frederik has been married to Princess Mary for 19 years, with their relationship often being dubbed a 'real-life fairytale'.
Mary Donaldson was 28 years old when she met Frederik in the Slip Inn in Sydney 23 years ago.
After the pub encounter, then 32-year-old Fred - who was in Australia to support Denmark's sailing team at the 2000 Olympics - asked Mary for her phone number and a romance blossomed.
'The first time we met we shook hands. I didn't know he was the prince of Denmark. Half an hour later someone came up to me and said, 'Do you know who these people are'?' Mary revealed in an interview about meeting the heir to the Danish throne.

They maintained a long-distance relationship for a year, with Frederik making secret trips Down Under before Mary moved to Denmark to study Danish language at Copenhagen's Studieskolen in 2001.
In early 2003, Frederik's mother Queen Margrethe publicly acknowledged the relationship and the couple announced their engagement at Amalienborg Castle later that year on October 8.
Between raising her children and appearing at diplomatic events, Mary has worked tirelessly to prove her commitment to charity, becoming a patron of more than 25 international organisations since her marriage to Frederik in 2004.
Patronages include the World Health Organisation Regional Office for Europe and the United Nations Population Fund, where she supports their work to promote maternal health in more than 150 developing nations.
In 2007, the Princess launched The Mary Foundation, a charity focused on stamping out domestic violence, bullying and loneliness.
Her popularity with the Danish public is mirrored by that of Frederik's, who has turned his image around in the eyes of Danes as the years have passed.
A lonely and tormented teenager, Frederik resented his parents for neglecting him as they fulfilled their royal obligations.
He sought solace in fast cars and fast living, and was considered a spoiled party prince in the early 1990s.
But that view began to change after he graduated from Aarhus University in 1995, the first Danish royal to complete a university education.
His time at college included a stint at Harvard in the United States, where he was enrolled under the pseudonym Frederik Henriksen.
The fake surname was a nod to his father, French diplomat Henri de Monpezat who became Prince Consort Henrik when he married Margrethe.
But Frederik - who speaks English, French and German - really began to mature into his role during his time training in the three branches of Denmark's military.
The prince served in the navy's Frogmen Corps - where he was nicknamed 'Pingo' (Penguin) - one of only four of the 300 recruits to pass all of the tests in 1995.
In 2000, he took part in a four-month, 3,500-kilometre (2,175-mile) ski expedition across Greenland.
His daredevil side has landed him in hospital after sledging and scooter accidents, but his popularity has soared, boosted by the Royal Run, annual fun runs across Denmark he began in 2018.

'He is a sportsman, he attends concerts and football matches, which makes him even more accessible than his mother,' royal expert Redder said.
'I don't want to lock myself in a fortress. I want to be myself, a human being,' he once said, insisting he would stick to that even after taking the throne.
He met his wife Mary Donaldson, an Australian lawyer, in a Sydney bar during the 2000 Olympic Games.
They have tried to give their four children as normal an upbringing as possible, sending them mainly to state schools.
Their eldest, Prince Christian, who recently turned 18, was the first Danish royal to go to daycare.
The couple have gradually taken on many royal duties in recent years as the queen entered her eighties, 'but very slowly and depending on the queen's health', said historian Sebastian Olden-Jorgensen.
The couple are 'modern, woke, lovers of pop music, modern art and sports,' he added.
They 'do not represent a potential revolution compared to the queen', but a careful transition adapting to the times, he said.
In recent months Frederik has been subject to scandalous headlines and rumours alleging an 'affair'.
In October photographs emerged showing Frederick enjoying a night out with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova in Madrid, sparking rumours about the Danish royal.
Photos of Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Genoveva Casanova on a night out in Madrid without his wife Crown Princess Mary emerged in October. Pictures, taken throughout the day, showed the pair having a stroll around El Retiro Park
Lecturas claimed both Frederik and Genoveva went to her apartment building separately at around 7pm. Genoveva, dressed in jeans and a brown coat, is seen heading into her apartment building
The Crown Prince is pictured heading into Genoveva's apartment building to change his clothes following a walk in the park at around 7pm
Frederik is seen leaving Genoveva's apartment building before heading to dinner. He appears to have to have changed from a navy jacket and brown trousers into a white shirt and dark trousers with a smart dark jacket
The pair are seen outside the apartment in Madrid at around 9pm before heading out to dinner. Photos show Genoveva ditched her chic camel coat with a tie belt in favour of a white shirt, black wide-leg trousers and a black jacket worn on her shoulders
The pair appeared to head into a Flamenco show at the Corral de la Morería in Madrid. They are pictured outside the venue at around 1am. The magazine claimed the pair remained at their table, which had been flanked by two of the Danish Prince's bodyguards, while other customers left, waiters finished up their shifts and the lights were being switched off
Lecturas claimed the pair did not emerge from the restaurant until 1am, when they walked out on to the street and got in a car. In a 'gesture of courtesy', Crown Prince Frederik opened the car door for his dinner companion
The pair are seen in their car home from the restaurant. Frederik appeared to have changed from a navy jacket and brown trousers into a white shirt and dark trousers with a smart dark jacket
Next day, the magazine claims the heir to the Danish throne was taken to the airport via car where he flew home to Denmark. Crown Prince Frederik Of Denmark is seen alone the next day
Crown Prince Frederik is seen heading off at 8.30am the next day in a black coat and trainers
Spanish magazine Lecturas reported that, during their night out, Frederik - who is a fourth cousin of King Charles - and Genoveva visited a Pablo Picasso exhibition, walked through El Retiro Park and later went out for dinner.
At around 7pm, Lecturas claimed both Frederik and Genoveva went to her apartment building separately, and both re-emerged at around 9pm, two hours later, both having changed their clothes into evening wear.
In the photos, Genoveva had ditched her chic camel coat with a tie belt in favour of a white shirt, black wide-leg trousers and a black jacket worn on her shoulders.
Meanwhile Frederik appeared to have changed from a navy jacket and brown trousers into a white shirt and dark trousers with a smart dark jacket. Again, they were reported to have emerged from the building separately, but got into the same white car.
The magazine claimed the pair watched a flamenco performance at a Spanish restaurant, El Corral de la Moreria, which finished at midnight.
It also claimed they remained at their table, which had been flanked by two of the Danish Prince's bodyguards, while other customers left, waiters finished up their shifts and the lights were being switched off.
Lecturas claimed the pair did not emerge from the restaurant until 1am, when they walked out onto the street and got in a car.
In a 'gesture of courtesy', Lecturas reports Prince Frederik opened the car door for his dinner companion.
The next day, the magazine claims the heir to the Danish throne was taken to the airport via car where he flew home to Denmark.
Publication of the pictures in Lecturas led the divorcee Mexican socialite to issue a statement 'categorically' denying any suggestion the pair are romantically involved, branding it 'malicious' and untrue, according to Hola!.
Both Mary and Frederik (pictured together in Denmark) have not commented on the claims

Married for 19 years and proud parents to four children (pictured together), the famously down-to-earth royals are adored by millions, with Mary poised to become the world's first Australian-born queen
The socialite wrote: 'I categorically deny the statements that suggest a romantic relationship between Prince Frederik and me.'
She added: 'Any statement of this type not only completely lacks the truth but also misrepresents the facts in a malicious manner.
'This is already in the hands of my lawyers, who will take care of the pertinent steps to protect my right to honour, truth and privacy.'
The editor of Lecturas, Luis Pliego, claimed on Spanish TV station Telecinco, that Frederik's visit to Madrid was 'secret'.
Since the photos emerged, those in the know have claimed the pair are good friends who 'meet several times a year,'.
'They have a friendship. They know each other and have friends in common. They usually meet several times a year,' Susanna Griso, who presents Spanish TV show Espejo Público, claimed.
Griso alleged Genoveva had become close to the heir to the Danish throne after they met on a high end mountain hunting trip.
The presenter explained: 'These are exclusive meetings, where you have to pay a lot of money to attend.
'All of the royals and children of the major families are there. The trips are organised mostly in Germany and Austria.'
On trips of this kind, usually in mountainous regions, guests pay thousands of Euros to be able to hunt European big game animals like red deer, Alpine Ibex, wild boar and mouflon wild sheep.
Griso added: 'Her friends have told me that she is having a very bad time of it. She is in hiding right now and has turned off her mobile phone because she doesn't want anyone to call her.'
The news broke amid a packed schedule of events for the royal couple during the state visit King Felipe of Spain and his wife Queen Letizia, and will no doubt have been viewed as an unwelcome distraction by Mary, who has scarcely put a foot wrong in her almost two decades as a working royal.
Despite the storm that has left European society agog, the Crown Prince and Princess both joined King Felipe of Spain and his wife Queen Letizia on the final day of their state visit to Denmark yesterday
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark has been spotted holding hands with husband Prince Frederik while attending a Christmas Eve church service with their four children
Despite swirling rumours of the Prince's alleged 'affair' that rocked the family, Mary and Frederik appeared loved up as they headed into Aarhus cathedral on Sunday, December 24
The royal couple were all smiles as they stepped out alongside Prince Christian, 18, Princess Isabella, 16, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, both 12
The popular royal family celebrated Christmas day at Marselisborg Castle with Frederik's mother Queen Margrethe II of Denmark
Since the photos emerged Mary has remained tight-lipped about her husband's dinner with the socialite, and the pair have put on a united display in public appearances.
However, during one instance after the publication of the photos, body language expert Judi James told FEMAIL that Mary looked 'disengaged' when joining the Spanish King and Queen in Copenhagen in November.
Her husband, meanwhile, appeared 'hesitant' towards his wife while on the outing with King Felipe and Queen Letizia during their visit to Denmark.
The couple put on a united front during an appearance at Aarhus cathedral on Christmas Eve alongside their children, before heading to Marselisborg Castle for Christmas Day with Queen Margrethe.
Mary looked stylish in a $1,400 floral Saloni maxi dress she paired with Aquazzura's knee-high suede Gainsbourg 85 Boots, and smiled as she held Frederik's hand.
The royal also kept cosy from the winter chill in a grey soft-drop coat and matching burgundy gloves.
She will become the world's first Australian-born queen next month, and is popular with the Danish public due to her dedication to royal duty and her fluency in the language.
Chain-smoking Queen Margrethe, who is also famed for her flamboyant sense of style, will step down from the throne on January 14.
Margrethe II (below right) was third cousins with Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, both descended from Queen Victoria
Like King Charles, Queen Margrethe wants a slimed-down Danish monarchy. But stripping some grand-children of their titles caused a furore and she apologised for the way it was done
In her broadcast today, Queen Margrethe II stated: 'I have decided that now is the right time. On January 14, 2024, 52 years after I succeeded my beloved father, I will step down as Queen of Denmark.'

The 83-year-old queen, who took over the throne in 1972, is the longest-serving monarch in Europe following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.
In February, she underwent a successful back surgery.
'The surgery naturally gave rise to thinking about the future - whether the time had come to leave the responsibility to the next generation,' she said in her speech.
'I have decided that now is the right time. On January 14, 2024, 52 years after I succeeded my beloved father, I will step down as Queen of Denmark.
'I leave the throne to my son, Crown Prince Frederik.'
In Denmark, formal power resides with the elected parliament and its government. The monarch is expected to stay above partisan politics, representing the nation with traditional duties ranging from state visits to national day celebrations.

"We need to sit and talk...": Sri Lankan FM Ali Sabry on fishermen issue with India
By ANI | Published: September 26, 2023 07:11 AM2023-09-26T07:11:39+5:302023-09-26T07:15:04+5:30
New York [US], September 26 : Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Ali Sabry said that India and Sri Lanka need ...
New York [US], September 26 : Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Ali Sabry said that India and Sri Lanka need to sit and talk to discuss the fishermen issue between the two nations. He said that the two nations will be able to find a solution if they sit and negotiate.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, Sabry noted that the two nations have a history of sitting, negotiating and resolving problems, "just like in a family."
Asked about the fishermen issue between Sri Lanka and India, Ali Sabry said, "We need to sit and talk about it. I think India and Sri Lanka have a history of sitting, negotiating and resolving problems. It does come just like in a family."
"So, we are very confident that if we can sit and talk about it and find a solution which is win-win, which is good for Sri Lanka, good for India and good for our relationship. We also have a lot of pressure from our fishermen, particularly from the Tamil-speaking fishermen in the North and East because that's their livelihood. But, similarly, it's also a livelihood for the people in some of the fishermen in your country. I'm sure we will sit, we'll negotiate, we'll discuss this and find a solution which is acceptable to all," he added.
On August 29, ten Indian Fishermen who were allegedly arrested by the Sri Lankan Navy and were later released by the Sri Lankan government reached Chennai Airport. This comes after the Sri Lankan Court issued an order for their release and asked security forces to initiate the process.
On August 22, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Tuesday urged the Central Government for "immediate intervention" to bring the perpetrators of these attacks to justice.
In a letter to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, Stalin said, "I want to bring to your attention an issue of grave concern that demands immediate intervention. Recent reports have highlighted an increased number of attacks on Tamil fishermen by Sri Lankan nationals, and on August 21, 2023, alone, nine instances were reported. These incidents are causing serious harm to their morale and impact livelihood severely," CM Stalin said in his letter.
Stalin said that the attackers inflicted physical harm upon Indian citizens and subjected them to theft, leaving them helpless and distressed.
"The livelihood of our fishermen is intricately tied to the oceans and these recurring acts of violence not only jeopardise their lives and well-being but also hinder their ability 10 sustain their families and communities. Such incidents undermine the spirit of peaceful coexistence and violate their fundamental rights and the principles of international maritime law," TN CM said in his letter.
The Chief Minister urged the External Affairs Minister to take necessary steps to "request the Sri Lankan authorities to take swift and decisive action to identify and bring the perpetrators of these attacks to justice."

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

Taylor Swift and Chiefs fans rejoice as Kansas City beats Cincinnati, 25-17, to capture AFC West for the EIGHTH consecutive season despite just three catches by Travis Kelce... as pair sets off for New Year's Eve party with family
- READ MORE: Jason Whitlock accuses CBS Sports of following Taylor Swift

- DailyMail.com provides all the latest international sports news
No, Taylor Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce hasn't caused the Kansas City Chiefs' season to completely derail.
The pop star was again on hand at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, where the defending Super Bowl champions topped the Cincinnati Bengals, 25-17, to bounce back from their Christmas Day loss to the rival Las Vegas Raiders. Swift was seen celebrating the win with some young fans in a luxury suite, and she's rumored to be taking in the New Year's celebrations with Kelce and family members at a private party.
Unfortunately, here date didn't have his best performance. Kelce was nearly a non-factor for Patrick Mahomes & Co., finishing the game with only three catches for 16 yards on four targets. He remains only a few yards short of his eighth consecutive 1,000-yard season.
For the 10-6 Chiefs, the win was significant. Not only does Kansas City win its eighth consecutive AFC West crown, but it comes after a miserable 3-8 stretch that threatened their entire season.
Naturally, many suggested that Swift was somehow to blame for distracting Kelce, and the Chiefs from the job at hand, but that wasn't the case on Sunday as Kansas City came back to beat the Bengals, who fell to 8-8.
Swift has become friendly with the families of Chiefs players amid her romance with Kelce
Kelce had just three catches vs. Cincinnati and remains a few yards short of 1,000 for the year
Swift laughs as she watches the first half of Sunday's rematch of last year's AFC title game
Swift celebrated the Chiefs win with a dink in her hand and a with a young Chiefs fan in a suite
Swift was seen celebrating the win with one young fan, sticking her finger in the air and screaming in the child’s face.
And as a number of fans noticed, Swift was wearing a Chiefs jacket with 'Tay-Tay' embroidered near the pocket - a reference to Kelce's rumored nickname for the 34-year-old singer. Swifties went wild over this on social media, noting that they are happy he's adopted the fan base's nickname for her.
As for Sunday's game, Swift was in her customary suite, surrounded by the family and friends of Kelce's Chiefs teammates, including the tight end's mother, Donna.
And as has become a familiar scene at Arrowhead, fans brought signs in hopes of catching her attention.
One clever Chiefs supporter referred to the romantic couple as 'T-N-T,' writing that: 'They're Dynamite!'
Another young attendee wrote that she was 'only here for Taylor.'

A Swiftie made it publicly clear that she had only travelled to Arrowhead to see Swift in person
Harrison Butker was a career-best 6 for 6 on field-goal attempts, Kansas City held the Bengals scoreless over their final seven possessions.
Patrick Mahomes had 245 yards passing and a touchdown for Kansas City (10-6), which also secured at least the No. 3 seed and one home playoff game. Isiah Pacheco ran 18 times for 130 yards while Rashee Rice had five catches for 127 yards.
The Bengals (8-8), fighting for their own playoff lives, led by 10 early but found themselves trailing 25-17 when Butker hit the last of his field goals — a 46-yarder through blustery wind — with 2:59 remaining in the game.
With one last chance, Jake Browning hit Tyler Boyd to convert a long fourth down and get into Kansas City territory, but back-to-back sacks by George Karlaftis and Chris Jones gave the Chiefs eight on the day and ended the Bengals’ comeback hopes.
Browning finished with 197 yards passing and a touchdown. Joe Mixon ran for 65 yards and had the TD reception.
Butker converted from 54, 43, 27, 24, 48 and 46 yards, accounting for the game’s final 18 points.
The Bengals and Chiefs are accustomed to playing high-stakes games when the weather turns frigid, meeting for down-to-the-wire nail-biters in each of the past two AFC championship games. And they are usually accompanied by plenty of trash talk, be it from elected officials or — in the case this past week — players such as the Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase.
Patrick Mahomes had a solid game, completing 21 of 29 passes for 245 yards and a touchdown
Swift arrived at Arrowhead while wearing Travis' varsity Chiefs jacket before Sunday's game
Kelce preferred to rock a more casual look than his girlfriend, wearing a striped Nike track suit
Swift had part of her hair braided as she made her way up to a Chiefs suite prior to kickoff
Kelce was spotted leaving the Chiefs team hotel ahead of Sunday's game in a tiger track suit
The animosity usually spills onto the field, too. Midway through the second quarter, Chase and Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed got into a heated argument, and eventually a team-wide scrum resulted in offsetting personal fouls.
The Bengals jumped ahead 10-7 when an 8 1/2-minute drive resulted in a field goal and a 6 1/2-minute march ended in Mixon’s touchdown catch. Cincinnati then got the ball back when Trey Hendrickson ran right around rookie right tackle Wanya Morris, stripped Mahomes from behind and Sam Hubbard was there to pounce on the loose ball.
Pass interference on Sneed in the end zone set up Browning’s 1-yard TD run.
Butker’s first field goal got the Chiefs within 17-10, and they had a chance to take the lead when Mahomes saw Marquez Valdes-Scantling wide open on their next possession. But yet another dropped pass — the NFL-leading 40th by Kansas City this season — forced the Chiefs to settle for a field goal to trail 17-13 at the break.
As the Chiefs’ defense stiffened in the second half, their offense began showing signs of life.
They stuffed the Bengals on fourth-and-1 at the Kansas City 6, then drove 82 yards for Butker’s third field goal. And after the Bengals had to punt, Mahomes hit Rashee Rice for 67 yards to set up Butker’s chip shot and give the Chiefs the lead for good.

A lithium-ion battery fire in a cargo ship's hold is out after several days of burning
The U.S. Coast Guard says a lithium-ion battery fire on a cargo ship is out after days of burning off the coast of Alaska
After lithium-ion batteries burned in a large cargo ship's hold for a number of days, the U.S. Coast Guard said late Saturday that the fire was out and directed the ship to anchor near Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
The 19 crew members of the ship, Genius Star XI, were uninjured and technicians from the Salvage and Marine Firefighting team remain onboard to ensure the fire doesn't return, according to a Coast Guard press release.
“This protected anchorage ... will allow the vessel to remain stable, minimizing risk of any re-flash of the fire as we continue our response," Capt. Chris Culpepper said in the press release, which said an investigation into the fire's origins will begin once response efforts wrap up.
Genius Star XI was shipping lithium-ion batteries from Vietnam to San Diego. The crew alerted the Coast Guard early Thursday morning to the fire, after pumping carbon dioxide into hold No. 1 — where the blaze began — and sealing it, fearing an explosion.
The Coast Guard diverted the 410-foot (125-meter) cargo ship to Dutch Harbor, one of the nation’s busiest fishing ports located in Unalaska, an Aleutian Islands community about 800 miles (1,287 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage.
Arriving Friday, Genius Star XI was kept 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from shore to mitigate the risks of toxic gases produced by the fire to the community and environment while responders worked to extinguish the flames, Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Mike Salerno said in an email to The Associated Press.
There have been no oil leaks associated with the fire, according to the ship's owners, Wisdom Marine Group.

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

Why some people don't trust science—and how to change their minds
During the pandemic, a third of people in the UK reported that their trust in science had increased, we recently discovered. But 7% said that it had decreased. Why is there such variety of responses?
For many years, it was thought that the main reason some people rejected science was a simple deficit of knowledge and a mooted fear of the unknown. Consistent with this, many surveys reported that attitudes to science are more positive among those people who know more about textbook science.
But if that were indeed the core problem, the remedy would be simple: inform people about the facts. This strategy, which dominated science communication through much of the later part of the 20th century, has, however, failed at multiple levels.
In controlled experiments, giving people scientific information was found not to change attitudes. And in the UK, scientific messaging over genetically modified technologies has even backfired.
The failure of the information-led strategy may be down to people discounting or avoiding information if it contradicts their beliefs—also known as confirmation bias. However, a second problem is that some trust neither the message nor the messenger. This means that distrust in science isn't necessarily just down to a deficit of knowledge, but a deficit of trust.
With this in mind, many research teams, including ours, decided to find out why some people do and some people don't trust science. One strong predictor for people distrusting science during the pandemic stood out: being distrusting of science in the first place.
Understanding distrust
Recent evidence has revealed that people who reject or distrust science are not especially well informed about it, but more importantly, they typically believe that they do understand the science.
This result has, over the past five years, been found over and over in studies investigating attitudes to a plethora of scientific issues, including vaccines and GM foods. It also holds, we discovered, even when no specific technology is asked about. However, they may not apply to certain politicized sciences, such as climate change.
Recent work also found that overconfident people who dislike science tend to have a misguided belief that theirs is the common viewpoint and hence that many others agree with them.
Other evidence suggests that some of those who reject science also gain psychological satisfaction by framing their alternative explanations in a manner that can't be disproven. Such is often the nature of conspiracy theories—be it microchips in vaccines or COVID being caused by 5G radiation.
But the whole point of science is to examine and test theories that can be proven wrong—theories scientists call falsifiable. Conspiracy theorists, on the other hand, often reject information that doesn't align with their preferred explanation by, as a last resort, questioning instead the motives of the messenger.
When a person who trusts the scientific method debates with someone who doesn't, they are essentially playing by different rules of engagement. This means it is hard to convince skeptics that they might be wrong.
Finding solutions
So what we can one do with this new understanding of attitudes to science?
The messenger is every bit as important as the message. Our work confirms many prior surveys showing that politicians, for example, aren't trusted to communicate science, whereas university professors are. This should be kept in mind.
The fact that some people hold negative attitudes reinforced by a misguided belief that many others agree with them suggests a further potential strategy: tell people what the consensus position is. The advertising industry got there first. Statements such as "eight out of ten cat owners say their pet prefers this brand of cat food" are popular.
A recent meta-analysis of 43 studies investigating this strategy (these were "randomized control trials"—the gold standard in scientific testing) found support for this approach to alter belief in scientific facts. In specifying the consensus position, it implicitly clarifies what is misinformation or unsupported ideas, meaning it would also address the problem that half of people don't know what is true owing to the circulation of conflicting evidence.
A complementary approach is to prepare people for the possibility of misinformation. Misinformation spreads fast, and, unfortunately, each attempt to debunk it acts to bring the misinformation more into view. Scientists call this the "continued influence effect". Genies never get put back into bottles. Better is to anticipate objections, or inoculate people against the strategies used to promote misinformation. This is called "prebunking", as opposed to debunking.
Different strategies may be needed in different contexts, though whether the science in question is established with a consensus among experts, such as climate change, or cutting-edge new research into the unknown, such as for a completely new virus, matters. For the latter, explaining what we know, what we don't know, and what we are doing—and emphasizing that results are provisional—is a good way to go.
By emphasizing uncertainty in fast changing fields we can prebunk the objection that a sender of a message cannot be trusted as they said one thing one day and something else later.
But no strategy is likely to be 100% effective. We found that even with widely debated PCR tests for COVID, 30% of the public said they hadn't heard of PCR.
A common quandary for much science communication may, in fact, be that it appeals to those already engaged with science, which may be why you read this.
That said, the new science of communication suggests it is certainly worth trying to reach out to those who are disengaged.

Cleaning and maintenance of the Americas office building isvery huge. It covers the cleaning of the buildings, retail, commercial, industrial, educational and healthcare facilities. More than $50 billion is spent annually on the janitorial services in America. There is a stiff competition in the janitorial services. Owners and the property managers can seek the services of the contractors so that they can provide added value and service that are not provided by the traditional ‘morn and pop’ operations that still persist in the profession. There is a subsidiary of ABM industries known as American Building Maintenance Company of New York (ABM) that is the largest facility services contractor and one of the major companies that is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. It is indeed regarded as one of the best companies in providing quality services to the clients and also making the competition real tough. They are also lauded by many professionals associated with the business as one of the best companies which has raised the bar for quality standard in the janitorial services.
The company, American Building Maintenance Company, was awarded the prestigious and one of the rare certifications, ISO 9001 for their building maintenance operations at 31st West 52nd Street in Manhattan thus makingit only the fourth such designation ever in the United States. ISO 9001 is one of the most popular and one of the most prestigious quality standard certification in the whole world. Many countries around the world strive real hard for getting certified. Their revision of the quality standard certification is not an easy task and only a company with proper proceduresand documentation of the methods achieve this certification. There are many reasons that many companies around the world are now paying great dealof attention on outsourcing their services. This trend is most popularamong the telecom companies where they outsource their customer care operations in order to cut the costs and increase the amount of revenue. On the same lines, the trend of outsourcing janitorial and other building services continues.
One of the advantages of outsourcing the janitorial services is that it allows the building managers to focus on their core operations. Another of the advantages is that outsourcing of the janitorial services ensures better training and introduction of thorough background screening to take advantage of the previous work in the same field. It also helps in the staff continuity and allows greater liability which can prove to be extremely attractive. However, if you want to add the in-house janitorial services, your costs can increase many folds because you have to hire the services of someone who is able to oversee the scheduling, benefits, staffing and all the other minor details. Even if you go for hiring a contractor, the administrative overhead is built in tothe rate. It is a natural phenomenon that each and every business wants to create some kind of strategic relationship with each of their vendors. Some companies really fill this gap by dividing their work load into different departments such as Electrical, Janitorial, Security, Engineering and Lighting.

One north, one south in Yule Log Pull 2023
Each of the teams in the annual Stromness Yule Log Pull claimed a victory this Hogmanay.
Competitors from the Northend took home the junior trophy, while the senior contest was won by the Soothenders.
It looked like it might be a repeat of last year’s double victory for the Northenders, when they took early control of the tug o’ war style event.
But the corner of Argo’s Bakery proved too difficult an obstacle for the team, who saw victory slip from their hands in a matter of minutes.
Stromness has been a flurry of activity this Hogmanay as a result of the contest — at festive tradition which was resurrected in 2017.

PGA Tour seeks extension on commercial deal with Saudis, private investors
(AP) - The PGA Tour believes it has made enough progress with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf to extend their negotiations into next year for a new commercial deal that would include a U.S. investment group and the European tour.
Commissioner Jay Monahan sent a memo to players on Sunday afternoon, just seven hours before the deadline to finalize the deal that was set in the June 6 framework agreement.
The PGA Tour board unanimously agreed three weeks ago to negotiate exclusively with Strategic Sports Group, a consortium of American-based professional sports teams owners led by Fenway Sports Group.
Monahan said the tour has made “meaningful progress” with SSG and provided the group with all the information it requested.
“As we move forward in our discussions, we are focused on the finalization of terms and drafts of necessary documents,” Monahan said.
Far more complicated are the negotiations with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the financial supporters of the rival LIV Golf League which lured away Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka in 2022, and most recently Masters champion Jon Rahm earlier this month.
Monahan described conversations with PIF and the European tour as “active and productive.”
The framework agreement was to expire Dec. 31, though it included language that the deadline could be extended if all parties agreed. “We are working to extend our negotiations into next year based on the progress we have made to date,” Monahan said in his memo.
Monahan said the goal for 2024 was to reach agreements with SSG, PIF and the European tour to bring them in as minority co-investors in the for-profit PGA Tour Enterprises.
“These partnerships will allow us to unify, innovate and invest in the game for the benefit of players, fans and sponsors,” Monahan said.
Under the framework agreement, PIF Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan would have a seat on the PGA Tour board. The agreement also included PGA Tour Enterprises doing an “objective, empirical-driven evaluation” of LIV and to determine if team golf can be integrated into the PGA Tour and European tour.
It also was to determine a “fair and objective” process for LIV players who might want to return to the PGA Tour or European tour, which is said to be a sticking point because of the players who turned down Saudi riches to remain on the PGA Tour.
The PGA Tour season begins Thursday at The Sentry on Maui, the first of eight “signature” events with a $20 million purse and limited field. LIV Golf already has announced the bulk of its 2024 schedule and $20 million purses. It starts the first week of February.

North Korea's Kim orders military to 'thoroughly annihilate' US, South Korea if provoked
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered his military to “thoroughly annihilate” the United States and South Korea if provoked, State media reported Monday that Kim made the order during a meeting with commanding army officers the previous day
North Korea's Kim orders military to 'thoroughly annihilate' US, South Korea if provoked
Show all 3North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his military to “thoroughly annihilate” the United States and South Korea if provoked, state media reported Monday, after he vowed to boost national defenses to cope with what he called an unprecedented U.S.-led confrontation.
Kim is expected to ramp up weapons tests in 2024 ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November. Many experts say he likely believes his expanded nuclear arsenal would allow him to wrest U.S. concessions if former President Donald Trump is reelected.
In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
In a meeting on Sunday with commanding army officers, Kim said it is urgent to sharpen “the treasured sword” to safeguard national security, an apparent reference to his country’s nuclear weapons program. He cited “the U.S. and other hostile forces’ military confrontation moves,” according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
Kim stressed that “our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment’s hesitation” if they opt for military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, KCNA said.
Experts say small-scale military clashes between North and South Korea could happen this year along their heavily armed border. They say North Korea is also expected to test-launch intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland U.S. and other major new weapons.
In 2018-19, Kim met Trump in three rounds of talks on North Korea’s expanding nuclear arsenal. The diplomacy fell apart after the U.S. rejected Kim's limited offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
Estimates of the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from about 20-30 bombs to more than 100. Many foreign experts say North Korea still has some technological hurdles to overcome to produce functioning nuclear-armed ICBMs, though its shorter-range nuclear-capable missiles can reach South Korea and Japan.

A surfer in Hawaii died at the hospital after a shark attack Saturday.
According toMaui County authorities, they received a report at around 11 a.m. local time Saturday about “a miscellaneous type incident.” Upon arrival, they discovered that Ocean Safety Officers had rescued and transported Jason Carter, a 39-year-old man, to shore using a jet ski.
Responders conducted life-saving measures until medical personnel arrived, and Carter was then taken to the Maui Memorial Medical Center for further treatment.
According to the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Carter, who is originally from Haiku, faced the shark encounter while surfing at Paia Bay, where shark warning signs are placed on beaches one mile on either side of the bay.
While initial signs of foul play were not evident, the police department reports that the investigation is ongoing and an autopsy has been scheduled.

Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper was seen on video as he appeared to throw a drink into the crowd at EverBank Stadium near the end of the team’s 26-0 loss to the host Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
In the viral video circulating on social media, a visibly frustrated Tepper is seen in a suite at the stadium, along with Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer, when he appears to empty his drink into the stands before tossing away the cup.
The incident occurred after Carolina rookie quarterback Bryce Young threw an interception toward the end of the fourth quarter, sealing the team’s shutout loss.
“We are aware of the video and have no further comment at this time,” an NFL spokesperson told CNN in a statement.
A spokesperson for the Carolina Panthers declined to comment.
Carolina’s shutout loss was particularly significant as not only did it drop the Panthers to a 2-14 record with one game left in the season, but it secured the No. 1 pick of the NFL Draft to the Chicago Bears.
In March, the Panthers agreed to trade their 2024 first-round pick, 2023 first-round (No. 9) and second-round (No. 61) picks along with wide receiver DJ Moore to the Bears for the 2023 No. 1 pick, which allowed the team to draft Young.
Earlier this year, the team fired head coach Frank Reich after a 1-10 start to the season. Reich was the third head coach that has been fired in the past five seasons, after Matt Rhule was fired following a 1-4 start last season – his third year – after Ron Rivera, in his ninth season, was let go during the 2019 season when the Panthers started 5-7.
Since Tepper bought the the team in 2018, the Panthers have a 31-67 record, which ranks as the second-worst record in the NFL in that span, and have missed the playoffs every season.
Tepper also owns Charlotte FC, an MLS team. In November the team fired head coach Christian Lattanzio despite reaching the playoffs in their second year.

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

Thousands ring in 2024 as London declares itself ‘A Place for Everyone’
The sky over London lit up with a firework and drone display celebrating unity.
Tens of thousands of revellers started 2024 with a bang as fireworks and drones lit up the sky over London and told the world the city is “A Place for Everyone”.
After the bongs of Big Ben sounded midnight, “London: A Place for Everyone” was written high above the crowds as the unity-themed display welcomed the new year.
In a display that lasted almost 15 minutes, 100,000 people cast their eyes to the sky to take in the firework, laser, and drone spectacular.
As hits by the Spice Girls, Calvin Harris, Dua Lupa and others rang out across the city, revellers were invited to look back on 2023.
The celebration referenced the King’s coronation and also used Charles’ quote to mark the 75th anniversary of the Windrush crossing in which he said the new arrivals “collectively enrich the fabric of our national life”.
The display – which included more than 12,000 fireworks, 600 drones and 430 lights – also paid homage to the NHS, which celebrated 75 years in 2023.
There were repeated references to London’s diversity and inclusivity, with the capital telling the world everyone is welcome in a city where people can be themselves.
Further messages throughout the pyrotechnic show were heard from Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, Dame Helen Mirren, Bella Ramsey, Stephen Fry, Joanna Lumley, George the Poet, and Baroness Floella Benjamin, who read a poem by the late Benjamin Zephaniah.
The show was organised by the Mayor of London who said it was London’s “best and biggest ever” New Year celebration.
Mr Khan added: “Our unique combination of fireworks, drones, lighting and music have put on a fabulous show for the millions watching around the globe, sending a message of unity and showing why London is the greatest city in the world.
“2023 was filled with so many special moments, and as we move into 2024, I feel more inspired than ever to continue our work towards building a better, greener and more prosperous city for everyone.”

A Colorado mother suspected of killing two of her children and attempting to kill a third has been arrested in the United Kingdom, according to local police.
Authorities issued an arrest warrant for Kimberlee Singler on murder and attempted murder charges after her 7-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter were found dead in a home and her 11-year-old daughter was sent to the hospital, CNN has reported.
Singler was arrested “without incident” at an unidentified location in the UK on Saturday, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
“Detectives with the Colorado Springs Police Department’s homicide unit continue to work closely with multiple law enforcement agencies in pursuing the ongoing investigation,” the release says.
The department said more information would be released about the arrest at a news conference at a later date.
Police originally responded to Singler’s home on December 19th after receiving a 911 call about a burglary. When they arrived, they found her 7-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter dead, authorities said. They also found Singler and her surviving 11-year-old daughter, who were both taken to a hospital.
Singler was originally considered a victim, based on the initial burglary report, but she became a suspect as the investigation unfolded, Colorado police previously told CNN. She was initially cooperative with police but then stopped cooperating and police were unable to get in contact with her.
“Until we had probable cause we weren’t able to hold her for any reason,” Ira Cronin, public information officer at the Colorado Springs Police Department, previously told CNN.
Her 11-year-old daughter was released from the hospital a few days after the incident. She is recovering from her injuries and is not with her mother, Cronin added.
Singler faces four counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder. The charges for each alleged crime were doubled due to the children being under the age of 12, according to a news release.

Baltimore clinch AFC North title and top seed in play-offs with Miami mauling
The Ravens continue to show ominous form as Super Bowl race hots up.
The Baltimore Ravens underlined their Super Bowl credentials with a crushing 56-19 victory over closest AFC conference rivals the Miami Dolphins.
The Ravens, Super Bowl winners in 2000 and 2012, secured top seeding from the AFC and will have a bye when the opening playoff matches take place.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was in imperious form as his team scored eight touchdowns, including two for tight end Isaiah Likely.
Top seeding in the NFC was confirmed for the San Francisco 49ers – the first time since 2019 – following a 27-10 success against the Washington Commanders, but there were also a number of close encounters during the regular season’s penultimate round.
Six field goals from Harrison Butker kicked the Kansas City Chiefs to a 25-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals as they clinched an eighth consecutive AFC West title.
But the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have to wait for a third straight NFC South crown as they went down 23-13 to the New Orleans Saints.
The two teams are tied at the top of the division heading into the final week of the regular season on 8-8. The Buccaneers will take the title with a win over the Carolina Panthers.
Pittsburgh Steelers kept their playoff hopes alive as they beat the Seattle Seahawks 30-23, courtesy of two touchdowns and 122 yards rushing from Najee Harris, while the Denver Broncos edged out the Los Angeles Chargers 16-9.
James Conner’s touchdown with just 32 seconds remaining saw the Arizona Cardinals shock the stuttering Philadelphia Eagles 35-31 after it looked as though Jake Elliott’s 43-yard field goal would be enough for the hosts, who had led 21-6 at the start of the second half.
The Indianapolis Colts, meanwhile, pipped the Las Vegas Raiders 23-20, and Josh Allen claimed two touchdowns as the Buffalo Bills edged out the New England Patriots 27-21.
It was even closer between the New York Giants and the Los Angeles Rams, with the Rams claiming a 26-25 verdict thanks to Kyren Williams’ trio of touchdowns.
Elsewhere, the Houston Texans defeated the Tennessee Titans 26-3, the Jacksonville Jaguars were 26-0 victors over the Carolina Panthers and the Chicago Bears brushed aside the Atlanta Falcons 37-17.
Jacksonville, Indianapolis and Houston now all have 9-7 records in the AFC South, while Carolina’s loss means Chicago will own the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft for the second successive year.
