Penalties and missed opportunities doom Raiders in playoff-eliminating 23-20 loss at Indianapolis INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Interim coach Antonio Pierce has guided the Las Vegas Raiders through nearly every conceivable scenario this season. From a sluggish start to a late playoff push or an embarrassing shutout to a 63-point scoring outburst in just a matter of days, this first-time head coach has seen one common theme from his players. They fight like Raiders and he intends to fight with them, no matter the circumstances. So even after another mistake-prone, uneven performance Sunday sealed Las Vegas' postseason fate, Pierce acknowledged the goal is simple: Corrections need to be made before next week's season finale against longtime rival Denver. “It’s very difficult when the Raiders play the Raiders, and we did that on both sides of the ball,” Pierce said after the 23-20 loss. "We had opportunities on third-and-1 and fourth-and-1 to keep drives alive. We had opportunities to get (the Colts) off the field, and we didn’t do enough of that.” Instead, after two straight wins put them briefly in the playoff discussion, the Raiders struggles returned. Three false start penalties prevented rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell from getting his teammates into the end zone more than once in the first 59 minutes. O'Connell finished 30 of 47 with 299 yards and two TDs though nearly half of his total numbers came courtesy of Davante Adams, who caught 13 of 21 passes thrown his direction. He also finished with 126 yards and both TDs. Clearly, that wasn't good enough. “We needed a faster start,” said O’Connell, the former Purdue star. “It’s the NFL. You can’t rely on momentum from week to week. You can’t look ahead, and you can’t look back. Every play, every series, and every game has enough of its own and you’ve got to lock in.” But there was plenty of blame to go around for this loss — and this season's continual problems. Defensively, Las Vegas (7-9) allowed the Colts to run for 4.6 yards per carry, resulting in a time of possession disparity of nearly 7 1/2 minutes. They also blew the coverage on third-and-1 when Gardner Minshew threw a 58-yard TD pass to Alec Pierce for a 14-3 lead in the second quarter. And cornerback Jack Jones extended a late Colts drive with two miscues — a pass interference call on third-and-8 with a throw headed out of bounds and an offside call that negated a field goal that bounced off the right goal post. Matt Gay delivered on his second chance, making the 45-yarder to give Indy a 23-13 lead with 3:11 to play. “Obviously something happened for them to make the call,” Pierce said, referring to the offside penalty before discussing the other call. "The official didn’t think the ball was too far out of bounds. He felt like he interfered while the ball was in the air. I don’t want to second-guess the officials.” But Pierce also accepted some of the blame for what happened, specifically a poorly timed trick play on third-and-1 with the Raiders still trailing 14-3. It started as an end-around that turned into a backward pass to O'Connell who finally threw an incompletion near the Colts 43-yard line. Las Vegas then took a delay of game penalty before punting. “That’s certainly one you look back at and you can make better decisions in those situations,” Pierce said. “We’ll do that going forward.” Pierce has one more chance to convince Raiders owner Mark Davis to keep him as coach in 2024. If he gets things cleaned up and finishes with three wins in the Raiders' last four games of his audition, he just might. But Pierce knows it's his responsibility to finish the job. "You can’t point fingers at players,” Pierce said. "Obviously we’ve got to do a better job as coaches. It’s a focus thing: false starts, offside, that’s the Raiders beating themselves. That’s something that for seven games, we hadn’t done. But it came up today and it bit us.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Michael Marot, The Associated Press	https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/penalties-missed-opportunities-doom-raiders-000415222.html	2024-01-01T00:33:36Z

Revelers counted down to midnight on New Year's Eve across the Middle East, Africa and Europe, where fireworks and festive lights offered a hopeful start to 2024 for some, even as the globe's ongoing conflicts raised security concerns and let to subdued and cancelled festivities. In Australia, more than 1 million people watched the pyrotechnic display near the Sydney Harbor Bridge, packing the shore and boats in the harbor — a number of spectators equivalent to one in five of the city's residents. "It's total madness," said German tourist Janna Thomas, who waited in line since 7:30 a.m. to secure a prime waterfront location. People lined up early in New York City to secure a spot in Times Square for the midnight ball drop. Officials and party organizers said they're prepared to keep tens of thousands of revelers safe in heart of Manhattan, as the city has seen near-daily protests sparked by the Israel-Hamas war. Fireworks light up the night Stunning fireworks displays bloomed at iconic locations like the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, the sleek glass walls of the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, in the United Arab Emirates, and accompanied a collective cheer filling the air in Nairobi, Kenya. China celebrated relatively quietly, with most major cities banning fireworks over safety and pollution concerns. Still, people gathered and performers danced in colorful costumes in Beijing, while a crowd released wish balloons in Chongqing. During his New Year address, Chinese President Xi Jinping said the country would focus on building momentum for economic recovery in 2024 and pledged China would "surely be reunified" with Taiwan. In Taipei, Taiwan's capital, the mood appeared upbeat as revelers gathered for a fireworks show at the bamboo-shaped Taipei 101 skyscraper, as well as at concerts and other events held throughout the city. For India, thousands of revelers from the financial hub of Mumbai watched the sun set over the Arabian Sea. In New Delhi, fireworks raised concerns that the capital — already infamous for its poor air quality — would be blanketed by a toxic haze on the first morning of the new year. Across Japan, people gathered at temples, such as the Tsukiji Temple in Tokyo, where visitors were given free hot milk and corn soup as they stood in line to strike a massive bell. Pope highlights the human cost of war At the Vatican, Pope Francis recalled 2023 as a year marked by wartime suffering. During his traditional Sunday blessing from a window overlooking St. Peter's Square, he offered prayers for "the tormented Ukrainian people and the Palestinian and Israeli populations, the Sudanese people and many others." "At the end of the year, we will have the courage to ask ourselves how many human lives have been shattered by armed conflict, how many dead and how much destruction, how much suffering, how much poverty," the pontiff said. Gaza and Ukraine wars grind on In Russia, the country's military actions in Ukraine have overshadowed end-of-year celebrations, with the usual fireworks and concert on Moscow's Red Square canceled, as they were last year. Even without the festivities, people gathered in the square and some cheered and pointed their phones at a clock counting down the year's final seconds. After shelling in the Russian border city of Belgorod Saturday killed 24 people, some local authorities across Russia also canceled their usual firework displays, including in Vladivostok. Millions were expected to tune in to Russian President Vladimir Putin's New Year's prerecorded address, where he asserted no force that could divide Russians and stop the country's development. Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip have killed at least 35 people Sunday, hospital officials said, as fighting raged across the tiny enclave a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war will continue for "many more months," resisting international calls for a cease-fire. Skyscrapers in Tel Aviv were lit up in yellow to call for the release of hostages held by Palestinian militants in Gaza for more than 80 days. "While you are counting down until the new year, our time and our lives stopped," said Moran Betzer Tayar, the aunt of Yagev Buchshtab, a 34 year old hostage. In the Gaza Strip, displaced Palestinians huddled around fires in a makeshift refugee camp. "From the intensity of the pain we live, we do not feel that there is a new year," said Kamal al-Zeinaty, who has lost multiple family members in the conflict. "All the days are the same." In Iraq, a Christmas tree was decorated with Palestinian flags and symbolic bodies in funeral shrouds, placed beside a liberty monument in central Baghdad. Many Christians in Iraq have cancelled this year's festivities in solidarity with Gaza, and have chosen to limit their celebrations to prayers and rituals. "We hope that the new year, 2024 will be a year of goodness, prosperity, and joy," said Ahmed Ali, a Baghdad resident. In Muslim-majority Pakistan, the government has banned all New Year's Eve celebrations in solidarity with the Palestinians. Global tensions spur security vigilance New York Mayor Eric Adams said there were "no specific threats" to his city's annual New Year's Eve bash. Police said they would expand the security perimeter around the party, creating a "buffer zone" that would allow them to head off potential demonstrations. During last year's party, a machete-wielding man attacked three police officers a few blocks from Times Square. Security was also heightened across European cities on Sunday. German authorities said they had detained three more people in connection with a reported threat of a New Year's Eve attack by Islamic extremists on the world-famous Cologne Cathedral. In Berlin, some 4,500 police officers are expected to keep order and avoid riots like a year ago. Police in the German capital issued a ban on the traditional use of fire crackers for several streets across the city. They also banned a pro-Palestinian protest in the Neukoelln neighborhood of the city, which has seen several pro-Palestinian riots. In Paris, over 1.5 million people are expected to attend celebrations on the Champs-Elysees, with around 90,000 law enforcement officers would be deployed nationwide, top officials said. Celebrations in the French capital will center on the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, including DJ sets, fireworks and video projections on the Arc de Triomphe. In a New Year's message, French President Emmanuel Macron predicted that the 2024 European Parliament elections will be crucial to Ukraine's future and the fate of democracy across Europe.

Lakers scratch Cam Reddish, D’Angelo Russell; Pelicans de-activate Trey Murphy III NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish and guard D’Angelo Russell have been scratched from Sunday night’s game in New Orleans. Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III also has been de-activated. All three have apparently minor injuries, leaving their status as day to day. Reddish played 22 minutes during a 108-106 loss at Minnesota on Saturday night. But Lakers coach Darvin Ham says he has been struggling with an adductor injury. Russell was involved in a collision during the game in Minnesota and Ham says he hurt his lower back. Murphy had been listed as questionable with soreness in his left knee. He had arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in that knee before the regular season. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

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

Instagram Password Dispute Results in Brutal Teenage Attack: A Chilling Reminder of Online Dangers An ordinary dispute over an Instagram password took a chilling turn on December 28, plunging a quiet neighborhood in Kurla into the throes of horror. A 14-year-old teenager, Zeeshan Qureshi, fell victim to a brutal act of violence, leaving him with deep slashes across both cheeks, a gruesome testament to the intensity of disagreements that can spiral out of control in the digital age.

The incident unraveled outside a local restaurant at Kajupada, a stark reminder of the real-world repercussions of online conflicts.

The Sakinaka police have since registered a case of attempted murder against Shah. Investigations are ongoing, as authorities strive to piece together the events leading up to this harrowing incident. A Cautionary Tale of Digital Security This brutal incident underscores the importance of internet safety and the dire need for personal boundary setting on social media platforms.

Scott Frank Discusses The Films He’s Worked On As A Script Doctor, Including ‘Saving Private Ryan,’ ‘Gravity’ And “A Lot Of The X-Men Movies” In a recent New Yorker profile, Craig Mazin, who wrote The Last of Us and Chernobyl, calls Queen’s Gambit co-creator Scott Frank “one of the best screenwriters of all time.” Long a known quantity for Get Shorty, Out of Sight, A Walk Among the Tombstones, Marley and Me, The Wolverine and Logan, Frank opens up to the magazine about his less-recognized work: The nearly 60 films he has worked on as a script doctor, earning at times $300,000 a week. More from Deadline Among the films on that less-well-known list are, according to the piece, Saving Private Ryan, The Ring, Gravity, Night at the Museum, Unfaithful, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Night at the Museum and, says Frank, “a lot of the X-Men movies.” Which ones? “I don’t remember their titles,” he said. “Ninety-percent of what I get called in on is character work,” Frank told The New Yorker. But Paul Thomas Anderson maintained that Frank also has a master’s understanding of structure. “He’s a formalist, and I mean that as the highest compliment,” Anderson said. “It’s what I always admired and wanted to emulate. He understood classic structure in a way most people can’t ever grasp.” Frank downplays the accolades. “I’m a bit of a hack,” he once said. Of his success, he told the New Yorker, “I find myself very content, not particularly tormented. Even my demons have gotten bored.” Frank’s next project is Monsieur Spade for AMC, on which he and Tom Fontana serve as co-creators, writers and executive producers. Frank also serves as director.

Claudia Winkleman admits she’ll be sick with nerves as the second series of The Traitors starts, as she is so desperate for the fans to love it. The host of the Bafta-winning BBC reality game show about treachery and loyalty also reveals that turning 50 made her more adventurous when it came to accepting jobs, and that the most underhand thing she’s ever done is steal a lipstick aged 15. At Ardross Castle, where the show is set, Claudia opens up to TV Editor Nicola Methven about its success and her hopes for the new run, which starts this week... Q Are you nervous about the second series of The Traitors? A I really want the people who loved it the first time to love it for a second, and we feel very responsible. When the first episode airs, I’ll be sick. Q How would you fare as a contestant yourself? A I think I’d be quite good! It’s about emotional intelligence and nothing to do with brains. Q How come you added both The Traitors and The Piano to your roster of shows last year? A I think I turned 50 and thought I’d take a few more risks. I love The Traitors, I love Strictly, I love The Piano. How lucky am I? Q How do you view your role? A I’m with the people who are dancing, I’m with the people who play the piano and I’m with the people who come in here to try to win that money Q Did you say yes to The Traitors straight away? A I did have reservations because I’m risk averse and I like lying in my bed. I’m 51, and they were like “Scotland for three weeks?”. I was like “don’t be silly”. But then I watched the Dutch version and was obsessed. Q Did you have any idea it would become a huge hit? A We are still dazzled and shocked by the way people embraced it. The moment I thought “what is happening?” is when Kathy Burke, one of my heroes, posted about it. And I thought “I must be asleep”. Q Did you enjoy the filming process? A When the game starts, I am obsessed. I watch them, I listen to them, I wait to see who’s murdered. It’s the greatest privilege to watch those people work it out. Q Did you know you’d be back as host? A I was hopeful but you don’t take anything for granted. Make no mistake, this is my baby. Q How did you feel when they invited you back? A I immediately Googled “funnel necks”. Because I know my job. The look is still Ronnie Corbett meets Princess Anne, with a slight touch of Nancy Dell’Olio. It’s a lot of tweed. Q Who did you really want to win? A What’s interesting about this show is that you are on both sides equally. I want the traitors to win. And I just want the faithful to find the traitors and take them down and get that money. It is odd being on both sides. Q Were you just as secretive about the show second time around? A When I signed off at Radio 2, I didn’t say I was coming to Inverness. I mean, it’s all quite under wraps. My family thinks I’ve gone out for milk... Q Why do you think people find the show so fascinating? A I think it’s because it’s an addictive, meaty game. All our lives, we’ve been told to trust our gut. This game throws all of that in the shredder, because you might be having an absolute laugh with somebody who is going to murder you that night. Q What’s the most treacherous thing you’ve ever done? A I stole a lipstick when I was 15. It was a tester from Boots. I told my mum [journalist Eve Pollard], who marched me back to find the manager to apologise and give it back.	https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/bbc-traitors-claudia-winkleman-heartbreaking-31780308	2024-01-01T00:33:45Z

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

(Main Squeeze) Vitamin C Is The Ingredient Your Skin Is Craving — These Are The Best Serums For The Job Truly essential. Join TZR editors for Main Squeeze, the series dedicated to sharing beloved beauty products — be they bold, effective, or simply fun — that make our week just a little bit better. Ahead, Team TZR spotlights their favorite vitamin C serums of the moment. Serums serve a unique purpose in your skin care routine. Unlike a face wash or moisturizer, they’re designed to target specific concerns and deliver specialized results. While there are many different types, vitamin C options are some of the most beneficial. As a powerful antioxidant, the ingredient has a long list of skin care advantages. True, any product infused with it will be helpful in your quest for youthful skin. However, incorporating one of the best vitamin C serums will ensure you get the full range of benefits. Vitamin C is known to protect skin cells against sun damage by warding off free radicals that break down collagen. It also diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. But most notably, it helps brighten the skin, and even its tone and texture. With such significant results, it’s easy to see why these serums have become a staple in skin care routines. Still, finding the best formulation can be difficult. Despite its abilities, vitamin C is notoriously unstable. Concentrations, packaging, and storage are all elements that can determine its effectiveness. For this reason, it’s important to find a formula that fits your needs, skin type, and budget. Ahead, TZR editors share their top picks for vitamin C serums for glowing results. With a range of skin types and concerns, this bunch will make finding your new favorite a bit easier. “Formulated with ingredients like vitamin C, turmeric, and camu camu, this serum from Beautycounter wakes up my complexion. On top of evening out my skin tone, it gives my face a nice subtle glow. After washing my face, I use a quarter-sized amount of the product, and then I'll slather on Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Water Cream Moisturizer.” — Kelsey Stewart, associate fashion editor, TZR “I've been using this vitamin C from cosmetic chemist Ron Robinson for years and am obsessed with the elegant formula — it's a light, matte-feeling lotion consistency, and it doesn't pill or smell.” — Faith Xue, executive beauty director, lifestyle “I’ve tried several vitamin C serums and always find myself coming back to this one. I love how the creamy consistency feels silky, never tacky, and absorbs into my skin quickly. Even with the addition of glycolic acid, it doesn’t irritate or burn my skin, which is an issue I’ve had before. Plus, it works pretty fast — which is always a bonus when it comes to skin care products.”— Jessica Fields, beauty writer, TZR “As a lover of Paula’s Choice’s 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, I’ve been sleeping on their vitamin C products, specifically this moisturizer. The product is super lightweight and leaves my skin looking radiant. Not to mention, it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin.” — Maggie Haddad, senior strategist, social media, TZR “While this admittedly does not smell the best — I’ve heard people liken the aroma to that of bacon — it works so effectively at brightening my dark spots that you really won’t care. It’s one of those cult products that regularly sells out, though, so if you become addicted (like me!), buy two bottles at once.” — Alison Syrett, deputy fashion editor, TZR “I'm a little bit impatient, so seeing my skin tone noticeably even out after a few weeks was enough to encourage me to stay consistent with La Roche-Posay's Vitamin C serum. It's effective for teasing out extra glow as well as protecting the face against all sorts of environmental stressors, and it's inexpensive enough to slather on my chest and hands so those zones can reap the benefits, too.” — Amanda Ross, beauty editor, TZR “As I've gotten older, I find dark spots and scarring are becoming more common. I combat this dreaded reality with a potent vitamin C serum that improves the tone of my skin. I love Ole Henriksen's formula because it contains a whopping 15% vitamin C, 5% PHAs, and hyaluronic acid to brighten, firm, and hydrate my skin.” — Angela Melero, executive editor, TZR “Yes, it's pricey, but there's a reason why Skinceuticals C E Ferulic has won countless awards and remains a beauty editor favorite. The formula is packed with vitamins C, E, and ferulic acid to protect skin from environmental aggressors as well as brighten and minimize hyperpigmentation. I love that it quickly absorbs into my skin without any greasy residue, but more importantly, I see results. By the time I hit the bottom of the bottle, the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on my chin is lighter.” — Erin Lukas, deputy beauty editor, TZR “This is the only vitamin C serum on the market where you mix it yourself to ensure potency — basically, so that the brightening ingredients don't oxidize as it sits on the shelf. I love how it leaves an instant brightening effect, while also giving my skin a more radiant glow over time. It's a watery consistency with a smell you have to get used to, but the benefits are absolutely worth it.” — Xue “Concentration is always a concern of mine when it comes to vitamin C. On days when I feel like my skin needs some extra TLC, I switch over to this serum. It’s formulated with grapeseed extract (which I’m a major fan of), has a gentler approach, and is designed specifically for melanated skin. Though it’s not as speedy as others I’ve used, it does a good job of brightening the small dark spots on my cheeks and around my chin.” — Fields	https://www.thezoereport.com/beauty/best-vitamin-c-serums-2023	2024-01-01T00:33:45Z
Quiet, cool weather to start the new year Here’s your Sunday night forecast for December 31, 2023 from Minnesota’s Weather Authority and Meteorologist Matt Serwe. No matter what you are doing tonight, please have a safe and happy start to 2024! If you are going out tonight in the Twin Cities, expect more clouds than stars. It will be dry, but wind chills will be in the low to mid teens. A typical winter jacket is all you need. If you are out very late tonight, you might wake up late enough to see nothing but sun on Monday. These clouds should clear out late Monday morning, and the sun allows temperatures to warm into the low 30s. There is a chance for scattered freezing drizzle on Tuesday morning. This could be the first day back to work or school since Christmas for some of you, so keep in mind that it could be a few slippery spots that morning. By midweek, the Twin Cities will have highs in the 20s for the first time in more than two weeks. If you are hoping to see more snow, potentially enough to have some fun outside, keep your fingers crossed next weekend. At this point, I would expect light snow, but you can always hope.	https://kstp.com/kstp-news/weather-forecast/quiet-cool-weather-to-start-the-new-year/	2024-01-01T00:33:45Z

Jammu and Kashmir Police Offer Cash Rewards to Fight Terrorism and Drug Trade The Jammu and Kashmir Police have launched a reward initiative aimed at encouraging community involvement in the fight against terrorism and the illicit drug trade. The strategy involves offering cash rewards, ranging from ₹1 lakh to ₹12.5 lakh, to individuals who provide actionable intelligence that can significantly disrupt these criminal activities. Disrupting Terrorist Operations The highest reward, ₹12.5 lakh, will be given to those who can provide specific information about the presence of terrorists that leads to successful operations, such as arrests or combats. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to disrupt the activities of terrorist cells within the region and limit their ability to operate. Halting Illicit Cross-Border Activities Additional rewards include ₹5 lakh for information leading to the detection of cross-border tunnels used for smuggling terrorists, weapons, and illicit substances. The police are also offering a reward of ₹3 lakh for information that results in the interception of drone-delivered consignments from across the border. These measures are intended to curb the flow of weapons and other illegal materials into the region, thereby reducing the resources available to terrorist groups. Uncovering Local Connections A reward of ₹2 lakh will be given to informants who can shed light on connections between local elements and terrorist handlers in Pakistan or terrorists within the country. Additionally, a ₹1 lakh reward is on offer for tips regarding the use of religious and educational institutions to incite individuals to join terrorist organizations. The aim of these rewards is to unearth the hidden networks that support terrorism and drug smuggling within the community. This innovative approach by the Jammu and Kashmir Police aims to harness the power of community intelligence and involvement to combat these twin threats. By offering these incentives, they hope to encourage more members of the public to come forward with information, while ensuring the complete confidentiality of their identities.

Sluggish Chiefs rally past Bengals to clinch 8th straight AFC West title The Kansas City Chiefs have averted disaster. Despite another sluggish Sunday, they rallied for a 25-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The win didn't do much to quell concerns about a tepid offense that anchored Kansas City through a 2-4 stretch following their Week 10 bye. But it did secure the AFC West title, avoiding a Week 18 scenario that could have seen them eliminated from the postseason. The Chiefs got off to a strong start with a 75-yard opening drive that ended with a touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to Isaiah Pacheco. They wouldn't find the end zone from there. After the Bengals answered with a touchdown to tie the game, the Chiefs turned the ball over with a fumble on their next possession. The Bengals then took a 17-17 lead that the the Chiefs cut to 17-13 at halftime. From there, kicker Harrison Butker and the Kansas City defense did the bulk of the work. Butker successfully kicked four second-half field goals to extend a personal 18-0 scoring run over the Bengals as Kansas City shut Cincinnati out in the second half. The Bengals had a chance to tie the game after Butker's sixth field goal extended Kansas City's lead to 25-17. They converted a fourth-and-18 after Justin Reid sack of Jake Browning at the Cincinnati 38-yard line. But Chiefs defenders sacked Browning two more times to force a fourth-and-27 that the Bengals would not convert. The stop allowed the Chiefs to run out the clock and clinch an eighth consecutive AFC West title. While the Chiefs struggled to find the end zone, they did convert on a pair of big plays, the likes of which have eluded them in recent weeks. Mahomes found Justin Watson for a 41-yard gain to convert a third down midway through the third quarter.

EA Sports FC 24: Best Players for Stop Right There Evolution Upgrade Here are the best players to use the Stop Right There Evolution on in EA Sports FC 24. EA Sports FC 24's newest addition to Ultimate Team is the Evolution mechanic. This lets you take low-rated players and give them key upgrades. Using this, you can make studs that wouldn't have been possible in previous years. Recently, the developers at Electronic Arts dropped the Stop Right There Evolution, which targets strong strikers who excel at using their bulk to hold off defenders and set up their teammates. Below, you'll find a list of the best players for this Evolution in EA Sports FC 24. What is the EAFC 24 Stop Right There Evolution? Unfortunately, this is a paid Evolution. To start it, you'll need to spend either 75,000 Coins or 350 FP Points. We've seen more expensive Evolutions, but considering there are two of these that are available, that's a pretty penny. Here are the requirements to keep in mind if you decide to use it: - Max Overall: 85 - Max Shooting: 90 - Max Dribbling: 82 - Max Physical: 85 - Position: ST - Rarity: - Max PlayStyles: 7 Once you finish all of the Objectives, you'll earn +3 Overall, +5 Passing, +4 Dribbling, +1 Physical, +6 Balance, +10 Ball Control, +6 Positioning, +3 Reactions, +8 Short Passing, +2 Strength, +7 Vision, +6 Composure, +1 Weak Foot, and the Press Proven, Tiki Taka, and First Touch PlayStyles. The Best Players for the Stop Right There Evolution This is a bit of a strange Evolution because you don't want to use one of EA Sports FC 24's pacey strikers. They'll be much better served with some of the other Evolutions that are available. To that end, the better move is probably to target a winger who can flex to striker. Unfortunately, not too many players fit into that mold. That said, there are a few solid options that you can find below: - Karim Adeyemi – Dortmund - Lois Openda – RB Leipzig - Ollie Watkins (Team of the Week) – Aston Villa - Dani Rodriguez (TOTW) – RCD Mallorca - Rinsola Babajide (Foundations) – EDG Tenerife Adeyemi is the easiest recommendation because he doesn't cost anything and you don't need to use another Evolution to boost him up. He does have 96 Pace, making him perfect for this Evolution, but if you're spending 75,000 Coins on this you might be better served to save up and buy his Winter Wildcard that's much better. Openda is another cheap option, but you really need to use the FC Founder 2 Evo to get the most out of him. Babajide is also cheap because you can earn her from Objectives; however, she can be tough to link depending on your team's makeup. The other two options are very good but are Team of the Week cards, which means they'll cost you quite a bit if you don't already have them. If you do, they're definitely worth a look, but it's probably not smart to shell out an extra 40,000 Coins on top of the Evolution's price. EA Sports FC 24 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms. The Stop Right There Evolution expires on January 27.	https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/ea-sports-fc-24-best-players-stop-right-there-evolution-ps5-xbox-pc/	2024-01-01T00:33:51Z
(Celebrity) If You Need A Mood Boost, Drench Yourself In Color With The Rainbow Hair Trend Multifaceted, multicolored. All those who spent 2020 dyeing their hair a color not found in nature, please rise. I did it myself, capitalizing on my time away from the office to turn my own hair bubblegum pink. Thousands of others did too, making a bright DIY dye job a pandemic pop-culture staple right up there with Tiger King and the “Savage” dance. But alas, it’s 2024 now, and the time has come to level up. Celebrity rainbow hair color ideas are taking over social feeds, one actor, influencer, and artist at a time. It’s not hard to see why, either — why wear just one eye-catching shade when you can wear a full-fledged multicolored masterpiece? Though the idea of rocking more than one or two colors may seem tricky, the rainbow hair trend is surprisingly customizable. The colors themselves are totally dealer’s choice, with options ranging from a light pastel to aggressively neon. Dye your entire head from roots to tips, or hide the rainbow underneath other hair for glimpses of color throughout the day. No matter the style, rest assured there’s a shade on the spectrum out there for everyone. For those looking to try out the trend, search no further than this roundup of the best rainbow hair inspiration out there along with a few tips on how to get the cosmic look for yourself. Rainbow Roots Halsey’s worn a few different rainbow hair combinations over the years, but her color-blocked center part is next-level creative. The key to the look pictured from 2019, according to a press release issued by her stylist, Florido Basallo, is in the minimalism of the rest of her hairstyle. This allows the brilliant squares to get all the attention — it’s well-deserved. Faded Ombré Kylie Jenner switches up her hair color so often, it says a lot that these pastel rainbow braids from a few years ago are still dominating mood boards and Pinterests around the world. Created for Coachella, the soft kaleidoscope colors that bleed into each other remain one of Jenner’s all-time best looks, and her infamous Discount World sequined two-piece just cements it. Face-Framing Color Purveyor of all things hot, Megan Thee Stallion amped up her neon purple wig with delicately blended rainbow pieces, colored by Kellon Deryck, her go-to guru. The rainbow-bright sections met in the back to form a colorful v-shape while Meg’s roots and tips were left purple. The result adds even more emphasis to the multicolored hair. Deryck was kind enough to grant fans an inside look at exactly what dye shades he used for the look, all from the Guy Tang #MyIdentity collection. Starting with a platinum wig, Deryck layered Purple Raven, Mint of Steel, Cosmic Coral, Phoenix Fire, Sheer Power, and Lightning Bolt to nail the colorful blend. Pastel Color Palette If there were ever a time for rainbow hair, it’s absolutely Coachella. Ciara turned up the fun for the festival with a combination of unicorn-colored pastels in icy pinks, blues, and purples, letting them all combine through her sultrily tousled waves. Celebrity hair artist Cesar Deleon Ramirez created the straight-up magical look, one of Ci’s all-time coolest. Mix & Match Shades To get the rainbow look, you don’t necessarily need the full shade spectrum — two or three poppy colors will do the trick, á la Kristen Stewart. Her hair, created by celebrity pro Adir Abergel, features a layering technique that blends inky jet black, neon red, and platinum blonde together. It looks even more multicolored with her electric yellow brows, too. Rainbow Brights By now, it’s clear that Cardi B never goes anything just halfway, including her hair, which is almost always as bold as her personality. Not even advanced pregnancy could stop the superstar rapper from donning the most eye-catching primary colors in her ultra-long hair for a look that’s one-part fairy princess, one-part My Little Pony. Two-Tone Unicorn With just two colors, neon orange and magenta, Alicia Keys transformed her hair into the best summer party ever. No stranger to the rainbow look, she’s worked this two-toned look before, test-driving shades of blue, purple, and pink — and they all suit her, of course. For those looking to dip their feet into the rainbow pool but hesitant to get all ROYBIV, follow Key’s colorful lead and pick two of your favorites. Prismatic Ponytail Katy Perry’s made super saturated colors a huge part of her brand from day one of her career, and that includes incorporating the aesthetic into her hair. She’s worn every technicolor shade you can imagine, but this blend of blues, indigos, violets, and pinks will forever be legendary.	https://www.thezoereport.com/culture/celebrity-rainbow-hair	2024-01-01T00:33:51Z

First Alert Forecast: Light winds to ring in the New Year, with stronger trades to follow Northerly winds are expected to develop over the western half of the state tonight as an approaching front weakens. Smoke from New Year’s Eve fireworks may linger a bit more because the winds are expected to remain on the light side. Trade winds will strengthen and become breezy on New Year’s Day as the front stalls just north of Kauai. An upper disturbance could increase showers a bit, but nothing heavy is expected. First Alert: Looking further ahead, a mid to upper-level disturbance approaches on Thursday and passes over the islands Friday, causing trade winds to decrease and shift from a more southeasterly direction while increasing the chance for showers. In surf, the high surf warning continues for most north and west shores through 6 a.m. Monday. Waves will likely lower below advisory levels Monday. A new series of long-period swells could bring advisory-level surf late Tuesday6 and Tuesday night and again on Friday. Surf on south shores will remain small all week, while east shore surf will be small on Monday before building for the rest of the week with strengthening trade winds. Copyright 2023 Hawaii News Now.

Jets score twice in third to beat Wild 3-2, spoil Fleury’s 1,000th NHL game ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Dominic Toninato scored the tiebreaking goal in the third period and the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Minnesota Wild 3-2 on Sunday, sweeping a home-and-home series. Adam Lowry and Vladislav Namestnikov also scored for Winnipeg. Laurent Brossoit stopped 24 shots for the Jets, who are 6-0-2 in their last eight games. Marcus Foligno and Frederick Gaudreau scored for Minnesota, which lost for the third time in 10 games. One of those was a 4-2 loss at Winnipeg on Saturday. “Going into both games, you knew it was going to be a hard-fought battle,” Winnipeg coach Rick Bowness said. “There wasn’t much room out there. Kind of low-event game for a while. That’s the way both teams play. John (Hynes) has got these guys playing really, really hard. They’re tough to play against.” Marc-Andre Fleury, who was playing in his 1,000th NHL game, made 26 saves for the Wild. “I’m kinda happy it’s over. I wish it was a win. Disappointing,” Fleury said. “I thought the guys played great tonight. Battled hard. It’s a better game than last night in Winnipeg. Two points is what’s important here.” The teams traded power-play goals early in the third, with Gaudreau giving the Wild a 2-1 lead at 3:56 and Namestnikov evening the score less than a minute later. Toninato scored the eventual winner at 7:32 of the third. A delayed penalty was called on the Wild, and with an extra attacker on the ice, the Jets set up in Minnesota’s zone. Toninato chipped a rebound over Fleury and into the net for his first of the season. A tense atmosphere prevailed before the game as Wild star Kirill Kaprizov was scratched because of an injury that he sustained in Saturday’s 4-2 loss at Winnipeg. Kaprizov left that game in the third period after taking two cross-checks to the lower back from Jets defenseman Brenden Dillon. The Wild were upset that no penalty was called, and Minnesota defenseman Jake Middleton later fought Dillon, setting a hostile tone for a rematch less than 24 hours later. Just two seconds into Sunday’s game, Wild forward Pat Maroon and Jets captain Lowry dropped their gloves and fought at center ice. But that was the extent of the fighting for the day. “He just asked if I wanted to go,” Lowry said of Maroon. “We knew they would come out and probably be looking for a response after Kaprizov gets hurt. Just settle things down, try to get it out of the way rather than wait a little bit. “He asked me politely, let me take the faceoff, and it was one of the few ones I won tonight” Lowry added. “So (we) got that out of the way and we were able to play some hockey.” Ryan Hartman appeared to put the Wild on top 1-0 late in the first period, but the Jets challenged the play and the goal was overturned as a Wild player was ruled offside. But not long after, the Wild scored one that counted when Foligno redirected Jared Spurgeon’s shot from the center point past Brossoit at 18:07 of the first. Lowry tied it for Winnipeg early in the second, tucking a rebound of a Mason Appleton shot past Fleury for his seventh of the season. The Jets kept up the pressure in the second period, hitting a post and a crossbar, but Fleury kept them in check until the third, when Gaudreau temporarily put them ahead before Namestnikov and Toninato won it for Winnipeg.

Kenyan Authorities Arrest 250 Suspected Mungiki Members in Nyeri County In a significant development in Nyeri County, Kenya, approximately 250 individuals have been detained on suspicion of affiliation with the outlawed Mungiki group. The suspects were apprehended while attempting to attend a meeting organized by Maina Njenga, a former leader of the Mungiki sect. The Kenyan police had banned this meeting, which was slated to take place in Nyeri County. The arrest of these suspects underscores the Kenyan government’s efforts to combat criminal activities and illegal groups. The Alarm and the Crackdown The meeting was cancelled, and Njenga’s followers were arrested following a warning by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua about the resurgence of the banned Mungiki cult in his Nyeri neighborhood. The government declared the meeting illegal and deployed heavy machinery to ensure its prevention. Several youths were arrested, and roadblocks were set up to prevent Njenga from reaching the meeting venue. Ensuring Peace in Nyeri Nyeri County Commissioner Pius Murugu stated that the meeting would not be allowed to take place in order to maintain peace in the county. Security officers stationed along the Nyeri-Nairobi, Nyeri-Nyahururu, and Nyeri-Nanyuki Highways established security checks to prevent supporters of the former Mungiki leader from reaching the planned gathering sites. Additional police officers were stationed at the site of the prohibited gathering, while others patrolled Nyeri town and its vicinity. Legacy of Mungiki and Maina Njenga Maina Njenga, who was expected to be the main speaker at the meeting, has long been associated with the Mungiki group, although he has denied any connection with the group since his release from prison. The Mungiki sect is known for operating secretly and wielding significant influence in certain areas of Kenya, particularly in the 1990s and 2000s. The arrest of the suspects serves as a reminder to the public about the ongoing security challenges in Kenya and the importance of taking decisive action against banned groups.

5 Things to Know: Pornhub Disabled in North Carolina ...and four more stories from Dec. 24-30, 2023 Pornhub Disables Access for North Carolinians Pornhub, the most popular porn site in the world, cut off access for North Carolina users on Thursday in protest of a new state law that will take effect on Jan. 1, 2024. The NCGA in September passed House Bill 8, which requires age verification on pornographic websites like Pornhub in North Carolina. The proposal was added at the last minute to a bill that originally aimed to add a computer science class to high school graduation requirements. Folks trying to visit Pornhub from North Carolina on Thursday were met with a (tasteful) video and written statement that asked NC residents to demand their representatives change the law to require “device-based verification solutions” that would identify users by their device and allow access to age-restricted materials and websites based on that identification rather than require visitors to confirm their age through state-sanctioned ID every time they want to visit the site. “Mandating age verification without proper enforcement gives platforms the opportunity to choose whether or not to comply,” the Pornhub statement reads. “As we’ve seen in other states, this just drives traffic to sites with far fewer safety measures in place. Very few sites are able to compare to the robust Trust and Safety measures we currently have in place. To protect children and user privacy, any legislation must be enforced against all platforms offering adult content … Until a real solution is offered, we have made the difficult decision to completely disable access to our website in North Carolina.” Pornhub is a Canadian-owned internet pornography video-sharing website, one of several such sites owned by adult entertainment conglomerate Aylo. Homicide Total Nears 100 After Violent Week It was a violent holiday week in Charlotte, with six murders occurring over six days and five of the victims aged 20 or under. It began shortly after 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 23, when police responded to a domestic violence call on Hermsley Road near the Catawba River in southwest Charlotte. Upon arrival, they found 19-year-old Yamile Gomez suffering from life-threatening stab wounds. Learn more: New Alternatives to Violence Team Launches on West Boulevard First responders rendered emergency aid, but Gomez was pronounced dead at the scene. Police located the suspect, a 27-year-old man, a short distance from the scene. He was arrested and later charged with murder. Shortly before 11 a.m. on Dec. 24, police responded to a shooting call on Flagler Lane in the Oakdale South area of northwest Charlotte, where they located 40-year-old Howard Higgins in a vehicle, dead from apparent gunshot wounds. The above map shows homicides in Charlotte city limits during 2023. Black markers signify gun deaths, blue signifies death by vehicle, red signifies stabbings/trauma, purple signifies unknown cause of death, while green signifies a “justified” homicide. Shortly after 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 27, police responded to a shots-fired call on Long Talon Way in southwest Charlotte’s Falcon Ridge neighborhood, where they discovered two victims with apparent gunshot wounds. One of the victims, 17-year-old Murahnee Johnson, was pronounced dead at the scene while the other was transported by Medic to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Shortly after 9:15 a.m. that same morning, police responded to a shooting call on Merlane Drive in the Evoke Living at Sugar Creek apartment complex in north Charlotte, where they discovered two teenage victims with apparent gunshot wounds. The victims, 16-year-old Tzion Dae and 15-year-old Amir Kidd, were transported by Medic to the hospital, where both boys were pronounced dead. Detectives said they were not looking for any additional persons in connection to the case and will release additional details upon consultation with the Medical Examiner’s Office. Donyelle Hill, who turned 20 a day before he was shot on North Sharon Amity Drive on Oct. 19, succumbed to his injuries on Dec. 28. A 31-year-old suspect who had already been arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury in October, was re-arrested and charged with murder. Hill’s was the 99th death by homicide in Charlotte this year. In comparison, the city saw 115 total homicides last year. County to Begin Taking Applications for Assistance with Heating Bills Mecklenburg County residents who have trouble paying their winter heating bills can get help through the county’s Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP), which will begin taking applications from all residents beginning Jan. 1, 2024, according to a release from the county on Thursday. Seniors and disabled individuals have had the opportunity to apply throughout December. The deadline for all residents to apply is March 31, 2024. An applicant does not need to be behind on energy bills to receive a one-time LIEAP payment in the amount of $300, $400 or $500 based on their primary heating source. Applicants must meet income guidelines, be responsible for the bill, provide their account number, and show proof of income. Check the county’s website to see if you meet the criteria for assistance. Man Pleads Guilty to Communicating Threats for Antisemitic Emails A North Carolina man has pleaded guilty to federal charges related to sending threatening, antisemitic emails to the Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte (JFGC) in October following a Hamas attack on Israeli army bases and residential areas that killed around 1,200 people. According to the Department of Justice, Jeffrey Hobgood of Troy sent an email to a JFGC account on Oct. 11 that read, in part, “I am going to take out every one of you.” Two days later, after he was contacted by law enforcement in relation to the first email, Hobgood sent a second email to the same address saying, in part, “Guess what happens to traitors? . . . Public execution. . . . We are at war . . . . If you think you semite pieces of shit are going to win, then you are delusional.” Hobgood, who was also found to have threatened family members in 2022, was not charged with a hate crime but with “transmitting in interstate commerce a communication containing a threat to injure the person of another.” He faces a maximum term of five years in prison and/or a fine of up to $250,000, though his guilty plea will likely mean he will not face the maximum punishment. In a statement issued on Friday, JFGC CEO Sue Worrel wrote, “Given the alarming rise in antisemitism since October 7, the news of this guilty plea is a step in the right direction in the pursuit of justice and safety … The Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte continues to work with local elected officials and leaders to improve the security of Jews, to ensure that the voice of our Jewish community is heard, and to serve as a resource to victims of antisemitism.” NAACP Calls Out AMC Following Greenville Incident The NAACP North Carolina State Conference is calling out AMC Theaters following an incident involving civil rights leader Rev. William Barber II at a theater in Greenville this week. Barber said he was attending a screening of The Color Purple at the AMC Fire Tower 12 Theater in Greenville with his mother when he attempted to use a chair that his assistant had brought into the theater and set up in the handicapped seating area, but was told by a theater employee that the stool did not comply with guidelines set by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Barber said employees then called Greenville police and told officers they wanted Barber to leave or be charged with trespassing. The NAACP NC has since launched a petition calling on the theater chain to “embrace accessibility as a fundamental value and adopt lasting changes that benefit all of its patrons.” “This incident serves as a powerful reminder that we must create spaces that are inclusive, fair, and respectful of the rights of every individual,” read a statement issued by the NAACP NC on Friday. “Discrimination based on physical abilities has no place in our society, and we must take decisive action to address this issue.” In a statement to a local news station, AMC wrote, “We sincerely apologize to Bishop Barber for how he was treated, and for the frustration and inconvenience brought to him, his family, and his guests.” Become a Nerve Member: Get better connected and become a member of Queen City Nerve to support local journalism for as little as $5 per month.

Steelers keep playoff hopes alive into Week 18 with 30-23 win over Seahawks SEATTLE (AP) — Najee Harris rushed for a season-high 122 yards and bullied his way into the end zone for a pair of touchdowns, and the Pittsburgh Steelers kept their playoff hopes alive into Week 18 with a 30-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Using a punishing running attack that faced little resistance from Seattle, the Steelers (9-7) pushed their way into the final week of the regular season with a chance at the postseason and ensured that Mike Tomlin’s team would yet again avoid a losing record. Harris had not hit the century mark rushing this season, his closest coming when he ran for 99 yards against Cincinnati. But he combined with Jaylen Warren for a running punch that Seattle struggled to stop. Harris averaged 4.5 yards per carry and reached the 100-yard mark for the first time since Week 17 of last season against Baltimore. Warren added another 75 yards rushing and scored on a 18-yard run in the first quarter. Harris scored on a 9-yard touchdown run in the second quarter breaking several tackles on his way to the goal line before a final lunge to break the plane. In the third quarter, Harris scored on a 4-yard run with a big assist from his linemen pushing the pile into the end zone to give the Steelers a 24-17 lead. Pittsburgh thrived against Seattle’s run defense that has been awful for more than half the season and finished with 202 yards rushing and a season-high 468 total yards. Pittsburgh was the sixth straight opponent to rush for at least 135 yards against the Seahawks. Quarterback Mason Rudolph was 18 of 24 for 274 yards and hit the big throws when needed, none more important than a 34-yard completion to George Pickens on third-and-6 early in the fourth quarter. Pickens made a terrific diving finger-tip catch and led to Chris Boswell’s 26-yard field goal that gave the Steelers a 27-20 lead with 7:07 left. Rudolph also hit Pickens for 24 yards with two minutes left and Seattle desperately needing a stop. Pickens had seven catches for 131 yards. Seattle (8-8) had its two-game win streak snapped and while the Seahawks weren’t eliminated from the postseason, they will need a victory and a lot of help in Week 18. Geno Smith threw for 290 yards and a 12-yard TD to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first half. Kenneth Walker III added 53 yards rushing and a 13-yard TD in the first half, but the Seahawks settled for three field goals in the second half and Smith committed one big turnover. Nick Herbig forced and recovered a fumble sacking Smith with seven minutes left, giving the Steelers possession at the Seattle 16 and Boswell’s 21-yard field goal with 4:31 left pushed the Pittsburgh lead to 30-20. INJURIES Seattle took two major hits to its offensive line. Starting right tackle Abe Lucas played the entire first half, but went to the locker room early before the second quarter ended and was ruled out with a knee injury when the second half started. Three plays into the third quarter, center Evan Brown had to be helped off the field and was ruled out with a concussion. UP NEXT Steelers: Pittsburgh will be at Baltimore in Week 18. Seahawks: Seattle closes out the regular season at Arizona next week. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Tim Booth, The Associated Press	https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/steelers-keep-playoff-hopes-alive-001710208.html	2024-01-01T00:33:55Z

Super Mario Bros. Wonder Almost Included Option from Classic SNES Game Super Mario Bros. Wonder nearly added another ability for Yoshi in the Switch game. In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, players can choose from a number of classic Nintendo characters, including Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Daisy. Players could also choose from multiple versions of Yoshi, and all of them control in a manner similar to the SNES game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. It seems the game's developers almost took things a step further, with the option to turn enemies into eggs and throw them, just like they did in that game. In an interview with Famitsu (translated by Nintendo Everything), producer Takashi Tezuka explained why the option didn't make the cut. "As for Yoshi's actions, I thought it would be better if he could throw eggs, so we tried to create a prototype and test it. However, it became hard to control, and to let first-time-players have fun, we decided the current way was the best," Tezuka told Famitsu. While the egg-throwing option was not included, the developers did include other callbacks to Yoshi's Island. Yoshi's now-iconic Flutter Jump was included, and players that swallow Melon Piranha Plants are able to spit watermelon seeds. Clearly a lot of thought went into making the Yoshis enjoyable to control, while also paying tribute to the character's best games! It would have been nice to see the egg-throwing mechanic make it into Super Mario Bros. Wonder, but it might have been too big of a change from the rest of the gameplay. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Released on the SNES in 1995, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island acted as a prequel to the rest of the Mario series. In the game, the stork carrying Baby Mario and Baby Luigi is attacked by Kamek. The Magikoopa is able to make off with Baby Luigi, but Baby Mario is discovered by the Yoshis. Yoshi first appeared in the original Super Mario World, where he had the ability to carry Mario in stages and also swallow foes. Super Mario World 2 expanded on Yoshi's abilities, and inclusions like egg-throwing and the Flutter Jump would become a staple in later games, including 1997's Yoshi's Story. Yoshi in the Super Mario Bros. Movie While Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island made Yoshi a household name, the character had a very small role in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. A group of Yoshis appeared in the background of one scene, and the post-credit scene showed a green Yoshi egg hatching under the streets of New York City. There's a big opportunity for the sequel to adapt elements from the Yoshi's Island games, but Nintendo and Universal have made no announcements about the next movie just yet. In the meantime, fans will have to settle for the character's appearances in games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder! Have you picked up Super Mario Bros. Wonder yet? Would you have enjoyed it if the egg-throwing mechanic had been included?

(Shopping) Hit The Slopes In Style With The Season’s Latest Ski Collections Alpine chic looks ahead. Those who partake in winter sports — be it skiing, snowboarding, or tubing — know a day on the mountains is a joyful, mood-enhancing experience (how could you not feel amazing zooming down the slopes?). Of course, choosing a cold-weather outfit is half the fun, too. Whether you’ve mastered the black diamonds in Aspen or still stick to the bunny hills at your local resort, a cute snow-proof look is non-negotiable. And though finding chic, of-the-moment winter attire was a struggle in the past, that’s no longer the case. The market is saturated with new ski — and après ski — collections from established and emerging labels, and they’re all changing the sportswear game. “Ski[wear] has evolved massively in recent years and has become a focus for many brands, with key industry players expanding into the category,” explains Libby Page, market director at Net-a-Porter, which just launched a ski campaign, pictured below. “Technicality remains important, with developed fabrics to maintain warmth and breathability for the true skier.” Providing its ski-loving customers with fashion-forward looks is equally as essential for the luxury retailer, she says. A few labels she recommends when shopping for winter looks? First up is Aztech Mountain. “[The] refined cuts and effortless fits serve the ultimate skier’s functional needs,” Page notes. “The nonrestrictive silhouettes, cropped jackets, and heavy knits are perfect for ski and après ski.” Bogner, a label known for its timeless, elevated designs, is at the top of her list as well. “Make a statement on the slopes in their coordinated zebra set, or opt for one of our exclusive styles that make for the perfect addition to the skier’s wardrobe.” When it comes to the season’s biggest skiwear trends, Page says monochromatic styles are taking the lead, noting they’re in line with the pared-back dressing that’s been ubiquitous in recent seasons. “Skiwear has been leaning towards polished styles that use texture and immense detail,” the expert continues. “We are loving the exaggerated cropped bomber silhouettes represented on jackets and ski suits.” Feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the new mountain-bound looks coming out lately? To cut through the noise, TZR gathered 13 of the best new ski collections, below. Time to hit the slopes in style. Gucci Not quite the outdoorsy type? Gucci’s latest ski lineup may change that. Made for snowy weekend trips and frigid city days alike, the collection is fully stocked with playful sporty looks, including colorful ski goggles (the chicest iteration we’ve ever seen, we might add), metallic outerwear, and puffy boots. We’ll take one of each, please. Fusalp x Pucci Your friends will never need to search for you at the bottom of the hills ever again, thanks to Fusalp x Pucci’s in-your-face collection, which marks the second time the two heritage brands teamed up on a winter assortment. Covered in signature Pucci motifs and hues, the assortment runs the gamut from multi-color waterproof puffer jackets to vibrant thermal layering pieces (a cold-weather essential, no matter if you’re one to spend a weekend in a snowy location). Varley A go-to destination for elevated everyday basics, Varley also serves up must-have slope-approved looks. The lightweight quilted knitted jackets, for instance, are a must for those kinda-warm ski trips. Layer the brand’s cozy separates — think sweaters and high-rise leggings — underneath your outerwear, and off to the mountains you go. (A cute beanie and waterproof gloves are a good idea, too.) Louis Vuitton If going down the hills in a head-to-toe designer look sounds appealing, Louis Vuitton’s new ski collection will surely pique your interest (it even has skis and a helmet to take your look to new heights). Inspired by sports uniforms, the capsule has every piece needed to say warm and on-trend during your upcoming winter excursion — think down-filled jackets, body-hugging knit separates, and jersey ski pants. Plus, once you’re ready to relax in the lodge with a cup of hot chocolate, throw on the snowflake tee and cushy carryall included in the drop. Aztech Mountain The brainchild of David Roth and Heifara Rutgers, Aztech Mountain is committed to creating high-quality winter staples. This season, the Aspen-based label released fun-meets-functional skiwear, like glossy puffer coats and two-tone bib pants. To ensure the pieces are the best of the best, the brand collaborates with world-famous athletes, such as skier and Olympic Gold medalist Bode Miller. Now that’s what we call setting the bar high. Bally Founded in Switzerland in 1851, Bally certainly isn’t new to the skiwear scene. Drawing design inspiration from luxe resorts like St. Moritz and Cortina d’Ampezzo, the label’s latest winter capsule reimagined alpine glamour, according to the press release. Throw on the pieces — see turtleneck sweaters, stretch pants, balaclavas, and more — for a weekend trip, afternoon downtown, or whatever other adventures may be on the horizon. FARM Rio Cure the winter blues with FARM Rio’s new 11-piece skiwear collection, priced from $345 to $615, which is the Brazilian brand’s second resort-ready lineup to date. Rendered in its signature splashy prints, the offerings include puffers, jumpsuits, and pants made from high-performance graphene fibers and recycled polyester for insulation. Plus, each look is designed for temperatures that dip as low as 14º to 50º Fahrenheit. Bundle up, baby. Yniq Eyewear x Lindsey Vonn Foundation On Dec. 15, Yniq Eyewear and the Lindsey Vonn Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to empowering girls, released limited-edition co-branded ski goggles in glacial blue. “This partnership embodies everything Yniq stands for — pushing boundaries, celebrating individuality, and striving for the extraordinary,” Lindsey Vonn, Olympic gold medalist and Yniq Owner, said in a press release. “As a lifelong athlete, I've seen firsthand the transformative power of sports and mentorship. Every pair of these goggles sold will directly contribute to programs and scholarships, providing girls with the tools they need to achieve their dreams.” LoveShackFancy x Bogner This year’s skiwear collabs did not disappoint — as proven by the LoveShackFancy and Bogner’s FIRE+ICE collection. After two wildly successful partnerships, the two labels came together again to take another stab at snow-proof looks. Fusing LoveShackFancy’s flirty designs and Bogner's cutting-edge performance wear, the assortment, ranging from $140 to $750, boasts cheery floral outerwear, pastel ski pants, and coordinating boots. Should you prefer to try on the pieces in person, head over to the Bogner’s 755 Madison Avenue store and select LoveShackFancy boutiques. BOSS x Perfect Moment That’s right, another must-have partnership hit shelves this season — enter the BOSS x Perfect Moment collection. The brands unveiled their second collab during the Matterhorn Cervino Speed Opening, a race that starts in Zermatt, Switzerland and ends in Cervinia, Italy, at the Alpine Ski World Cup last month. A few key items in the drop are the softshell duvet jackets, flared ski pants, and insulating one-piece suits. For the non-skiers reading this, browse through the après ski styles, including knit hoodies and thermal tops. FP Movement If you’re looking for skiwear that won’t break the bank, FP Movement has you covered — most of its mood-boosting pieces won’t cost you more than $600. A surefire way to stand out on the slopes? Adorn yourself in FP Movement’s highlighter-hued sportswear — we’d suggest the peachy Dew Point Overalls. Or, if your style is more minimal, check out its khaki-colored Zephyr Ski Shell Packable Jacket. DKNY On Dec. 4, DKNY dropped its first-ever ski collection, which consists of 30 pieces made for the mountains, city, and everywhere in between. The limited-edition collection is rife with cold-weather staples, our favorites being the flared snow pants (which have a water-repellant finish) and toasty merino wool sweaters (splashed with graphic stripes and the label’s hallmark black and white palette). Sweaty Betty You’re likely already aware of Sweaty Betty’s gym essentials — but did you know it also has slope-ready styles? If the answer’s no, listen up: The athleisure label carries an assortment of high-quality pieces for the mountains, from heavy-duty jackets to chic stirrup pants. And if you’re always stuffing your pockets with your phone, wallet, and keys? The Swiftie Trail Bumbag, which you can wear across your body, will make things much easier.	https://www.thezoereport.com/fashion/new-ski-collections	2024-01-01T00:33:57Z

Livestock Theft Leads to Vigilante Justice in Murang’a County In a chilling Sunday morning encounter, two individuals suspected of livestock theft met a gruesome end at the hands of local residents in Gakonya village, Kiharu, Murang’a County. The duo, believed to be part of a well-organized livestock theft ring, was cornered and killed while transporting stolen cattle before their bodies were set on fire. Community Patrols Unearth Organized Crime The incident occurred when villagers, on a self-initiated patrol, intercepted a lorry carrying four stolen cows. Upon confrontation, the suspects attempted to scatter in different directions, but the vigilant locals managed to capture two of them. The community, thus far, has been living under the constant dread of these thefts, necessitating their need to guard their properties round-the-clock.

Taylor Heinicke struggles as Falcons lose to Bears, leaving them with narrow path to playoffs CHICAGO (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons had a chance to increase their slim chances of making the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They failed. And a familiar problem played a major role. Taylor Heinicke threw three of Atlanta's four interceptions during the Falcons' 37-17 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. He was 10 for 29 for 163 yards in his second straight start after Desmond Ridder was benched for the second time this season. “Ultimately, when you turn the ball over four times and don't get any takeaways, that's a recipe for a bad result,” Falcons coach Arthur Smith said. Atlanta (7-9) had a chance to move into a tie for the NFC South lead, but it lost for the third time in four games. It stayed in the postseason race thanks to Tampa Bay's 23-13 loss to New Orleans. The Falcons can still take the division if they win at New Orleans next weekend and the Buccaneers lose or tie at Carolina. There is no pathway to a wild card for Atlanta. “The fact that we still have a chance going into Week 18, last week of the season, the fact that we're still in that, that's what you want,” Heinicke said. “If someone told us, Week 18 you are going to have a chance to go to the playoffs, you'll take it.” It remains to be seen if Heinicke will be available for the matchup with the Saints. He was replaced by Ridder with 3:39 left because of a left ankle injury that already had him on the injury report going into Sunday's game. Ridder threw the Falcons' final interception. Heinicke, who led Atlanta to its best offensive performance this season during a 29-10 win over Indianapolis, had a walking boot on his left leg after the loss at snowy Soldier Field. “Later, as the game went on, you could tell his ankle was hurting him,” Smith said. Heinicke was Atlanta's second-leading rusher with four carries for 46 yards, including a 24-yard scramble for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. He said he thinks someone stepped on his foot on one of his last passes, causing “a little bit of sharp pain.” “Once you’re in the heat of the battle, the adrenaline kind of takes over and you just go,” he said. “On most of those scrambles I wasn’t feeling it. It was mostly when you get to the sideline or you’re kind of sitting there in the huddle with the cold, it kind of creeps in your mind. Again, I’ve just got to play better.” Atlanta was down 21-7 when Heinicke threw his first interception of the day — a diving catch by Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards right before halftime. He was picked off by Tyrique Stevenson in the third quarter, and Kyler Gordon was responsible for Heinicke's last interception on a fourth-and-17 pass in the fourth. Cairo Santos kicked a 42-yard field goal after the Stevenson interception, and Khalil Herbert had a 1-yard TD run after the play by Gordon. “It’s never one thing,” Smith said of Atlanta's passing game against Chicago. “For me to sit here and try to put blame on one person, that’s not how football works. A lot of things obviously that didn’t go right.” Atlanta is averaging just 200.8 net yards passing this season and it has thrown 15 interceptions, including 12 in its nine losses. “We turned the ball over, and we can’t do that, especially this team and how they play and this weather,” Heinicke said. “Can’t give them short fields. Can’t turn the ball over. Got to play clean football.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Jay Cohen, The Associated Press	https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/taylor-heinicke-struggles-falcons-lose-001631074.html	2024-01-01T00:34:02Z
The Walking Dead Creator on Potential Animated Adaptation Robert Kirkman addresses The Walking Dead animated series after bringing Invincible to life. The Walking Dead spans comic books, video games, and a live-action television universe at AMC — but is the network hungry for an animated adaptation? Creator Robert Kirkman adapted his superhero comic Invincible as an adult animated series for Amazon's Prime Video, and his all-ages comic book Super Dinosaur inspired the children's animated series of the same name. Now that both the Walking Dead comic and flagship television show are in the grave — Kirkman ended his long-running zombie saga after 193 issues in 2019, while AMC capped off the live-action version after 11 seasons in 2022 — the creator addressed a potential Walking Dead animated series that more faithfully adapts the comic book. "I think it would be a lot of fun to do a faithful animated adaptation, but I don't know AMC's appetite for such things," Kirkman wrote in response to a fan's letter in the pages of the colorized reprint series The Walking Dead Deluxe #79. In 2010, the network released an eight-minute, "fully-animated" motion comic adapting 13 pages from the first issue of The Walking Dead #1 by Kirkman and artist Tony Moore. AMC also dabbled with comic-style animation in an animated segment of the webisode series The Walking Dead: Red Machete. As for the live-action side of AMC's Walking Dead Universe, Kirkman added that he's "knee-deep in the future of Invincible" and thus too busy to be involved with writing the network's Walking Dead spinoffs. (Kirkman hasn't scripted an episode since season 5.) "I'm very happy with where the show ended up. I think [showrunner] Angela Kang did a great job on the final seasons," Kirkman wrote in the letters column. "I think every show has a wave of expectations that builds and builds up to its conclusion, and it's very hard to navigate that wave as you reach the end, but Angela handled things really well. The parts of the show that were always most exciting to me are the parts that didn't follow the comic closely."

(Entertaining) Cristalino Is The Tequila For “New Year, New You” Vibes It’s the clear choice. Transparency is essential to every aspect of life, and the same principle applies to your liquor cabinet. In the world of agave-based spirits, Cristalino is the clear, pun intended, newly-coronated king. What makes Cristalino different from its legacy tequila siblings? Alejandro Coronado, master distiller for Proximo Spirits explains that the aged tequila is a standout in that it has been filtered through charcoal to remove the imperfections and impurities from the barrel without impacting the rich flavors and textures imparted by the casing. “The result is a tequila that has the complexity and character of an Añejo with the crisp, bright notes of a Blanco; it possesses a smooth finish that is perfectly versatile for cocktail creation,” he says of the colorless concoction. Every Cristalino has its unique production process and more importantly filtration method, which is what gives the category a “bright, smooth profile.” As it happens Cristalino is a fairly new type of tequila. “[It was] invented over a decade ago by Juan Domingo Beckmann, the founder of Maestro Dobel Tequila and 11th-generation member of the Cuervo family,” explains Coronado. In the early 2000s, Beckmann recognized a trend among Mexican tequila drinkers, that they gravitated towards premium unaged tequilas because they were “smoother, more sophisticated and approachable than the traditional Reposados and Añejos.” According to Coronado the beauty of Cristalino tequila lies in its versatility. It can be enjoyed equally on its own or as the base spirit of a cocktail. “Since a Cristalino could be a Reposado, Añejo, or Extra Añejo, there are a multitude of options that pair well with it,” he says. Miguel Cedeño-Cruz, master distiller at Cenote Tequila, part of Stoli Group, says there are a few variables that come into play when deciding how to enjoy Cristalino tequila: the occasion, mood, type of food to pair it with, time of day, and even the temperature outside. When it comes to food pairings, he recommends vegetables, chicken, seafood, pasta, cheese, meat, desserts, coffee, or tea. “This means that you can offer [Cristalino in a] cocktail when you receive your guests, straight to sip during the main course, or as a more complex cocktail with vegetables and fruits at the end [of a meal], or with a dessert,” he says. For those new to the Cristalino tequila trend, they have plenty of time to hop on the bandwagon. Its popularity has been rising, particularly in the U.S., and isn’t going anywhere. “In the last five years Cristalino has increased 41% in value in the U.S. market,” Coronado says. “This surpassed growth projections by 5% in the U.S... Cristalino tequilas have grown three times the rate of the tequila category and are expected to account for 7% of all tequila by 2027.” Cristalino Rules Of Thumb Whether you want to sip it neat, on the rocks, or get your mixology on, exploring the world of Cristalino as a newbie can feel intimidating. Luckily, our experts weigh in on tips to make the journey as smooth as the spirit itself. Jaime Salas, master mixologist and Head of Advocacy for Proximo Spirits encourages consumers to pay attention to the label on the bottle. “When picking out a good bottle of Cristalino at the store, it’s important to first and foremost verify that the ‘100% Agave’ label is included on the product,” he says. Cedeño-Cruz suggests thinking about the flavor profiles of tequila expressions you already like and using them as a starting point. “If you are more of a Blanco tequila drinker, first try with a Reposado or Añejo Cristalino,” he advises, “But if you like aged products, look for Añejos or Extra-Añejo Cristalinos.” But his best piece of advice is to try different brands and consume each Cristalino in different ways, from sipping straight to stirring it into your favorite cocktail to determine what variety you like and how you like to drink it. Once you’ve got your bottle set, Coronado reminds people of another essential element of enjoying a boozy beverage. “It’s important to have the right glassware when enjoying Cristalino tequila, depending on how you choose to drink it,” he says. “For example, if you’re drinking it in a margarita, make sure to serve it in a rocks glass. If you’re sipping it neat, use a tulip-shaped glass or a narrow-rimmed glass that can concentrate the scents, enhancing the tasting experience,” he says, suggesting Riedel Bar Tequila Flutes. Another thing Coronado points out when it comes to enhancing the Cristalino experience is the art of patience. “Take your time when enjoying Cristalino: Sip it slowly, so you can really taste and enjoy all the different and complex flavors in the tequila,” he shares. “Take the time to learn: Educate yourself about the specific production methods and characteristics of different Cristalinos. Understanding the nuances can add layers to your enjoyment and make the experience more rewarding.” Lastly, Coronado wants to inspire the at-home mixologist inside of everyone to experiment, explore, and step outside of their comfort zone. “Try out different recipes,” he guides. “Cristalino’s versatility can bring a unique twist to traditional tequila cocktails or spark ideas for new drink creations.” Ahead, expert-approved Cristalino picks that will make you an enthusiast after your first sip.	https://www.thezoereport.com/living/cristalino-tequila	2024-01-01T00:34:03Z

London’s Metropolitan Police Dismisses 100 Officers Amid Misconduct Scandal As the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve, the Metropolitan Police of London had already bid farewell to a hundred of its officers. This wasn’t a cordial send-off marking the end of a fulfilling career, but rather a stern dismissal for gross misconduct. The force, reeling from public outrage and struggling to regain trust, is launching a purge, slashing through the ranks of those involved in various forms of misconduct, particularly those related to violence against women and sex crimes. Misconduct: A String of Disturbing Cases The dismissed officers were not just scapegoats or low-ranking employees caught in the crossfire of a PR stunt. Among them were notable figures like PC Liam Boshein, who was jailed for sharing an image depicting necrophilia. Constable David Carrick, a decorated firearms officer, was sentenced to life imprisonment after being found guilty of multiple rapes and sexual assaults. Sergeant Laurence Knight faced the same fate after a sexual assault during a stag party. Another, PC Alexei Zalesskiy, was discharged for assaulting a minor, and PC Sam Grigg was jailed for acts related to his fetish for handcuffing and arresting women. Regaining Public Trust These dismissals were not arbitrary but were born out of a necessity to mend the force’s fractured relationship with the public. The public trust in the police has been severely impacted, prompting an aggressive cleanup operation. The purge is far from over, with around 350 officers awaiting hearings for gross misconduct and another 1,600 facing investigations over sex-related offenses. The force is determined to cleanse its ranks, aiming to rebuild its tarnished image and regain the public’s faith once more. Looking Ahead The year 2023 has been a year of reckoning for the Metropolitan Police. The dismissal of 100 officers due to misconduct is a testament to the force’s commitment to a higher standard of conduct. While the road to redemption is steep and fraught with challenges, these actions signal the beginning of a transformative journey for the force, one where accountability, transparency, and respect for the public are paramount. The force is not just taking action against misconduct but also promises a safer, more trustworthy future for the people of London.

That's a wrap: Lamar Jackson solidifies NFL MVP case with another dazzling performance BALTIMORE – Sports talk shows better find something else to discuss this week. The NFL’s Most Valuable Player conversation is over. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson made sure of that with his perfect passing performance Sunday in a 56-19 victory over the Miami Dolphins, which secured the AFC’s No. 1 seed for Baltimore and gave the team its first division title since 2019. Of course, that was the year Jackson was unanimously voted MVP and the last time the Ravens earned the top overall seed. If the voters do the right thing and crown Jackson in a few weeks’ time, he will become the 11th player with multiple MVP awards. The list he joins is honorific: Peyton Manning, Jim Brown, Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes among them. In what has become an award almost exclusively reserved for quarterbacks, the lack of a dominant one – or team – this season created a discussion that lasted longer into the campaign than usual. Last week, following the Ravens’ dominant win over the NFC’s No. 1 seed, the San Francisco 49ers, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Jackson had “an MVP performance.” What did he think of Jackson’s encore? “I’d say it’s even better,” Harbaugh said, later adding: “He played a great football game. He played a perfect football game in terms of the passing game.” “Perfect” not being necessarily hyperbolic. Jackson finished with a perfect passer rating of 158.3. He averaged 15.3 yards per attempt and completed 18 of his 21 passes – two of which hit receivers in their hands. Jackson racked up a season-high five touchdown passes and threw for 321 yards. “I was like a little kid at the movie theater, except I didn’t have popcorn,” linebacker Roquan Smith said. “It was pretty sweet, man. The guy’s a warrior. Busts his tail day in and day out.” After the game, Jackson wouldn’t acknowledge that he was feeling himself. “I feel like if you could tell you’re in the zone,” he said, “you’re not in the zone.” “I was just locked in.” The “MVP” chants started during pregame introductions, when he was the last Raven to have his name called. They only became louder as the game played out. Jackson said he didn’t hear a thing. “The only thing that was on my mind was to finish the game and today we did,” Jackson said. Last year, in a Week 2 loss at home to the Dolphins, the Ravens blew a 21-point lead and were outscored 28-3 in the fourth quarter. Jackson and the Ravens kept their foot on the gas this time around. “He told us at the beginning of this year that he got us,” edge rusher Odafe Oweh said. “There was nobody that didn’t believe him. I’m proud of him.” Once Jackson locks in, Oweh said, the rest of the team follows suit. And the good news for Jackson’s teammates is that he cares little for individual accolades. His commitment has endeared him to his coaches and his teammates since he was a rookie. “I think Lamar, his reads and his progressions, are so much quicker and faster and decisive,” said fullback Patrick Ricard, who caught one of Jackson’s scores. “He knows where he wants to put the ball and I think we have the weapons to make it happen. Guys are getting open, guys are making the plays when it’s needed.” That’s largely a byproduct of offensive coordinator Todd Monken’s offense, which has given Jackson the freedom to change plays at the line of scrimmage and allowed him to play with an overall aggressiveness that Jackson appreciates. A prime example came on a 33-yard completion to Odell Beckham Jr. down the right sideline in the second quarter. It was a highlight-reel catch for Beckham, but Jackson actually audibled into the route when he saw man coverage at the line of scrimmage. He gave the receiver the signal. Beckham beat his man and Jackson delivered a strike only he could catch. “There’s no debating,” Beckham said of the MVP race. “I think we look too much into statistics and all of that … the way that he leads this team, he just always keeps us alive.” With the game in hand, Monken moved from the coaching booth to the sidelines to start the celebration early. He spooked his quarterback, who said “for him to be on the field, I’m like, ‘This man is funny.’” But seriously. “That’s the type of game plan I like,” Jackson said. “He was dialing it up, being aggressive, letting me be the decision-maker.” Jackson could choose whether to push the envelope or take what the defense is giving. When things are right in the offense, it all comes naturally, Jackson said. Jackson hasn’t been perfect all season. The deep ball, at times, has been lacking. But a 75-yard touchdown to Zay Flowers is proof of the improvements in that area. “We kept saying, if we could start hitting the deep ball, we can make those big plays, it’s going to be a backbreaker,” Harbaugh said. “It turned out to be a backbreaker today. It was great to see.” Even as the Ravens remained consistent, winning in a variety of ways to establish themselves as the conference’s premier team, Jackson had a five-game stretch in which he completed 57.4% of his passes. Numbers can deceive. He averaged 5.9 yards per carry in those games and still made enough plays with his arm. This week, the term “quarterbacky” began trending on social media when it was used in an anti-Jackson MVP argument, in which it was claimed he didn’t play enough like a traditional, pocket-passing signal-caller. “So he can run the ball pretty well? So he’s not as ‘quarterbacky?’” Ricard said while throwing his hands in the air. “I don’t know. He’s a great player.” By this point, linebacker Patrick Queen said, the naysayers have run out of excuses to discount Jackson. “People find a reason just to hate him and try to be negative about him,” Queen told USA TODAY Sports. “But the guy has nothing negative about him. And he just proved that today."

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

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

With Russell Wilson on the bench, Broncos offense squeezes out a win over Chargers Sunday might have been the first look at next season's Denver Broncos offense. It's not like they will have that many options in the offseason, if they do move on from Russell Wilson and eat an $85 million dead cap hit. The most likely solution for the Broncos is to stick it out with Jarrett Stidham for a season, and maybe draft a rookie. There won't be a lot of cap room to do much else. Stidham wasn't too bad as he took over for Wilson at the end of a tumultuous week in Denver. He threw for 224 yards and didn't make any big mistakes in an ugly 16-9 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The Broncos were still eliminated from playoff contention due to other results in the AFC on Sunday. The Broncos' spin that they pushed was that Wilson being benched for Stidham was just a football move, and that coach Sean Payton wanted to spark the offense. That's impossible to believe, but Stidham at least played well enough to get a win. Broncos take a lead into halftime The Broncos offense mostly struggled in the first half, aside from one play. Stidham was rolling right and it looked like he'd run for a first down, but he saw Lil'Jordan Humphrey crossing the field. He hit Humphrey on a short pass to about the 40 and then Humphrey did the rest, spinning and juking to avoid multiple Chargers defenders on the way to the end zone.

It wasn't hard to see the difference in the Broncos' offensive approach with Stidham at quarterback. Wilson had fewer than 30 attempts in a game seven times this season. Payton wanted to play a ball control game with Wilson at quarterback. With Stidham, things opened up a little bit. Perhaps that was to prove a point about the quarterback that was just benched. Broncos hold lead into 4th quarter In the second half, the Broncos' biggest play was a defensive pass interference. On fourth-and-1, Stidham threw to the end zone to heavily defended Jerry Jeudy. But Chargers safety Alohi Gilman was called for pass interference, keeping the drive alive and setting up the Broncos at the 1-yard line. A couple of penalties on the Broncos cost them a shot at the touchdown, but a field goal gave them a 10-point lead. The Chargers missed a field goal after that, and their offense wasn't leading a comeback. Easton Stick, who has been forced into action due to Justin Herbert's season-ending injury, was not very good against the Broncos defense. The Chargers did cut the Broncos' lead to 16-9 late in the game and had a shot to recover a muffed onside kick, but Denver got on it and was able to run out the clock after that. Denver's offense wasn't very good either, especially against a bad Chargers defense that allowed 63 points to the Las Vegas Raiders a couple weeks ago. Stidham finished with 224 yards, a touchdown and he didn't throw an interception. He wasn't bad, but it wasn't exactly the shot in the arm the Broncos were saying they were looking for with the move. Stidham was just better than Stick, and that was good enough for the win to keep the Broncos' season alive. The performance also won't give the Broncos a ton of confidence if they do have to settle for Stidham next season. That conversation can start now, since the Broncos' playoff hopes have been dashed.	https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/with-russell-wilson-on-the-bench-broncos-offense-squeezes-out-a-win-over-chargers-002441892.html	2024-01-01T00:34:15Z

Masoyi Burnt Bodies: A Tragic Mishap or a Case of Vigilantism? On a quiet Saturday morning in Masoyi, Mpumalanga, local residents of Nhlalakahle Trust stumbled upon a horrifying sight: the charred remains of two individuals, aged 36 and 39. The grim tableau included one body lying outside the vehicle and another inside. Vigilantism or Murder? Brigadier Selvy Mohlala, the spokesperson for Mpumalanga police, confirmed the tragic find and stated that the victims were declared dead at the scene by paramedics. Initial investigations suggest a chilling theory: the victims were allegedly murdered following allegations of stock theft in the area. Could this be a case of community vigilantism gone horribly wrong, or is there a more sinister angle at play here? Police Launch Investigation The Mpumalanga police have launched an investigation into the homicides. The torched Nissan vehicle and its grim contents present a scene of violence that seems incongruous with the peaceful surroundings of the Nhlalakahle Trust area. The police have called for anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward and assist with the ongoing investigation. They are urging communities to work with them on issues of crime and not resort to vigilantism. A Stand Against Vigilantism The Mpumalanga police commissioner, Lieutenant-General Semakaleng Daphney Manamela, has spoken out against vigilantism in response to the incident. She urged the community to collaborate with law enforcement rather than take matters into their own hands. Her words serve as a stark reminder that such actions are not a legitimate means to address crime. The commissioner’s stance underscores the importance of upholding the rule of law, even in the face of increasing crime rates and public frustration.

ABILENE, Texas (BigCountryHomepage.com) – We’ve been counting down the days to 2024, and now we’ve come upon our true year in review. Here are our overall most popular articles of 2023, plus a year-end newscast with everything in between. Top 5 overall articles on BigCountryHomepage.com 200 acres of Taylor County land burned for five days along Highway 83/84 in August. Thankfully, our Abilene Fire Department, plus much-needed help from neighboring fire departments, made sure it was contained and put out. The aftermath of a tragedy seems to bring a community like not much else. At the end of February, we lost 28-year-old Jennifer Antaya from Sweetwater. The Tye Police Department said Antaya was likely speeding when she crashed into a center embankment, causing her vehicle to rollover on I-20. It was at Abilene’s biggest event: The West Texas Fair & Rodeo that we saw tragedy before our eyes when a bronc rider died after falling off his horse in September. 26-year-old Skee Burkes was remembered as ‘sweet and polite.’ Rodeo Announcer that night, Bob Tallman, told KTAB/KRBC about that night and described the audience’s reaction; “They were in a trance… They just held tight. It’d be very difficult if you were one of 5,000 people to stand up in a red shirt and walk.” Burkes passed away in an event on Saturday, September 9. A week later, the rodeo opened with a ceremonial wreath laying in memory and in honor of him. Our biggest weather story, and the second most read article of the year, was a cold front warning in September. In this article, BCH meteorologist Darrius Stringer alerted damaging winds, tennis ball-sized hail, and lightning. It was almost a given that the story of a young child finding a firearm at school would be the most-read article of the year. This incident happened in January but wasn’t reported until mid-February. A Rising Star third grader reportedly found a gun in the restroom at school and promptly turned it in. Later, it was discovered the gun belonged to the school’s superintendent. The school board later met with parents about the incident, and the superintendent soon after resigned from his post. More 2023 top stories BigCountryHomepage.com wishes you the best and fulfilled 2024.

Zelenskyy: Next year the enemy will experience the fury made in Ukraine New Year’s Address of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Dear people! Dear Ukraine! The year 2023 ends very soon. This is another year of our independence. Another year of our fight for independence. Another year of the war. The war for our land. For our freedom. For one another. If you ask millions of Ukrainians what this year was like, you will get millions of different answers. Everyone will remember something close to their heart. Someone special. Everyone has something to smile about. Because of their gains. Everyone has something to cry about. Due to losses. Everyone fought, worked, waited, lived and hoped this year. In their own way. Everyone. But this year all Ukrainians have something in common. The main conclusion of this year, the main result: Ukraine has become stronger. Ukrainians have become stronger. 676 days ago we were challenged. Missiles were flying at us from all sides, Russian invasion was impending on us from all fronts. 676 days ago I addressed you, Ukrainians, from this very place, and reported about the start of the full-scale invasion. We did not know what awaited us back then. Many did not believe we would endure even for a week. Few believed that we would resist all throughout 2022, let alone 2023. But today we are celebrating 2024. Ukraine is alive. Ukraine is living. Ukraine is striving and fighting. Ukraine does not stop, Ukraine is moving forward along the path. Ukraine is gaining. Ukraine exists. And all this is not a New Year’s miracle. It is not a fairytale, not magic but a merit of every one of you. Everyone from millions of Ukrainians. Everyone who proved every day and every night this year: Ukrainians are stronger! When at the beginning of 2023, in January, in February we overcame, without exaggeration, the hardest winter in our history. When we proved: Ukrainians are stronger than cold and darkness. Stronger than power outage and the threat of a blackout. Ukrainians will overcome any power deficit since they do not have a deficit of stamina and courage. We have not disappeared in the dark. The darkness has not swallowed us. The darkness has lost. Our power has withstood. Our country has withstood. It won this year. And I want to thank everybody who have made it possible. All our Security and Defence Forces. I am proud of every Ukrainian soldier. Ukraine exists as long as you exist. I know how bravely and heroically you are defending us. During all this time. The time of daily hard, fierce battles. From the first minutes of 1 January and up until now, even on New Year’s night when Ukrainian soldiers are fighting and have no right to give in. You are deterring the evil which has grown bigger. But which has not succeeded in anything else. Because you fought it on every front and every street, in every house. You were strong. You have not given up a single blue-and-yellow heart. Not a single kilometre of our freedom. This is what you are like. You are our warriors. Every man and every woman who prove: Ukrainians are stronger than evil. And I want to thank all our people, I want to thank our nation. Everyone who is here today. I want to tell everyone: I am proud of every one of you. Of every Ukrainian citizen. Of every strong one. And I know how much everybody is struggling today. Everyone who put their life on pause. Who postponed everything until later, until after the victory. Everyone who says: "I am working, and this is not a heroic deed but a norm". Everyone who is working and fighting every day because they know: wars do not end themselves – wars are ended. And victory is not received as a gift but fought for. So today we must live according to the rule: you either work or fight. Because the biggest terrorist organisation in the world is fighting against us. And it is obvious how much more we must do, how much more active we must do this, how much stronger our unity and fighting must be. Everyone who does not ask themselves "what can I do?" knows this and lives adhering to the "I must do more than I can" formula. Because this means "to win". In our language. To win, to overpower yourself, to make super-efforts and do more than expected. Because in fact each one of us in capable of more. Our heroic people prove this every day. Our heroes. Our medics who save soldiers in the combat zone and civilians in cities and villages. Those who prove: Ukrainians are stronger than pain, wounds and death. These are our firefighters, rescuers, who demonstrate: Ukrainians are stronger than fire and debris. These are those who prove: Ukrainians are stronger than any circumstances, stronger than hopelessness. Our teachers who teach children despite the war. Online, in person or in an improvised school in the Kharkiv metro. Our railwaymen, our drivers, liasons, engineers. Out volunteers, our diplomats, the Ukrainian business, everyone who pays taxes and provides Ukrainians with workplaces, everyone who sows, harvests and gives bread to Ukrainians, everyone who provides Ukrainians with shelter, everyone who produces shells and ammunition, who fixes and builds, repairs and restores, who works and proves every day: Ukrainians are stronger than fatigue. And this means Ukrainians are stronger than this war. 24 February has convinced us of it. The war has taught us a lot. It has shown us a lot. It has affected us in a lot of ways, it has changed us. Sadly, the war separated families, took away sons and daughters and at the same time united us into a one big family. And on 24 February 2022 we have made a choice. And the dry, emotionless truth of wartime realia is that this choice was different for everybody. Some stayed here, in Ukraine, some fled, some were blocked, some evacuated children, some went to the combat zone, some saved others, some went abroad and stayed there, and others went abroad but came back home. To Ukraine. And these are the stories of people, stories of boys and girls. Of those who were not able to sit with their arms crossed and went to the front. Of those who were not able to be abroad, somewhere far from home, and returned. Having realised and told themselves: "I care. And I am needed here. I am needed for the victory, I am needed by Ukraine". Those who have proven: I am stronger than fear. Those who have proven: I am stronger than doubts. Because I know that one day I will have to ask myself: who am I? To choose who I want to be. A victim or a winner? A refugee or a citizen? And everyone knows the answer. And the answer is Ukraine. Because Ukrainians are stronger together. So it is time to be together! And this is the time all the Ukrainians in the temporarily occupied territories are waiting for. All those who have not lost Ukraine they had in them. Those who have not allowed to take over their heads, their hearts. All those who protect Ukraine in their children’s hearts. Those who protect our flag and the belief Ukraine will come back. Those who know that all the waiting is not in vain. And I want you to feel our gratitude for it. And I want you to remember: Ukraine will be incomplete without you. Today we celebrate the New Year together. On our time. At midnight we will sing our anthem, the anthem of Ukraine. We will sing it with love for Ukraine. This love is stronger than the occupation. This love for Ukraine is the force that the invaders are afraid of. All of our people in Crimea, Donbas, Luhansk Oblast, Berdiansk, Melitopol, Mariupol should know: the enemy really is afraid of you. They’re not afraid of international organisations with their political messages, they’re afraid of Ukrainian people’s Ukrainian spirit, the spirit of the people who have proven, are proving, and will continue to prove that we are stronger. Stronger than oppression. Stronger than the enemy. Stronger than this war. Because that’s just the kind of people we are. And you can see that these people inspire the entire world. This is the country others want to see as part of the European family. This has been confirmed by the European Council’s decision to open negotiations on Ukraine’s accession to the EU – the decision many have waited on for dozens of years. It is a decision that was once difficult to imagine, with sceptics saying it won’t happen today, it won’t happen tomorrow, it’s nearly impossible; don’t hope, don’t put your faith in it, don’t expect it. But the Ukraine of 2023 is determined, steadfast, resolute, and tenacious. Ukrainians are stronger than every blockade and every veto, stronger than disbelief or scepticism. We are a country that is undertaking extremely challenging but needed reforms and changes. It is this that has made us a country that is welcome in the European Union. These are not just words – there are official decisions and documents to confirm this. This process will definitely be brought to its logical conclusion: Ukraine’s full membership in a strong Europe. An enduring Europe, from Lisbon to Luhansk. This is a real, historic victory. We had so many of these diplomatic victories this year. They weren’t easy. Ukraine’s Peace Formula has been supported by 80 other countries. Security guarantees for Ukraine have been supported by 30 countries. We have been told: "You can’t have a grain corridor without Russia’s support." We have been blocked and blackmailed, but we have found a solution. We have found it, and our grain corridor is operating. As of today, we have used it to export 13 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain. This year Ukrainians proved that we’re stronger than lies, stronger than PSYOPS, stronger than despair, than discord, than disbelief. We have maintained and multiplied international support for Ukraine. We have opened new directions and new perspectives for Ukraine. We have held 120 meetings with country leaders this year alone, securing 156 defence-aid packages. We have once again proved that Ukrainians are stronger than the plots and attempts to undermine global solidarity and the coalition of our allies. Instead, this coalition has only grown. The coalition of Patriots, the air defence coalition, the tank coalition. I would also like to thank every country that has joined the coalition working to bring back Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia. I am grateful to all our partners for the fact that this year we received Patriots, IRIS-Ts, HIMARS, NASAMS, Hawks, Abrams and Leopard tanks, and plenty of other equipment. Our pilots are already training on F-16s, and soon we will see them in our skies. Our enemies will see what our fury is really like. Next year the enemy will experience the fury made in Ukraine. Ukraine-manufactured weapons, equipment, artillery, munitions, drones, our naval weapons and at least one million Ukrainian FPV drones. Finally, they’ll taste that: on land, in the air, and of course at sea. Our Black Sea. This year, like never before, the enemy experienced that they don’t belong there. Our Black Sea operations marked a black page in the history of the ruscist navy. Their landing ships can confirm this, as can their missile carriers and patrol corvettes that are now lying on the bottom of the sea. Our Zmiinyi (Snake) Island is now free of their snakes and their flag. Dear Ukrainians! Ukraine made it through 6,000 air-raid warnings this year. Almost every night we woke up to sirens and went to shelters to protect our children from enemy missiles and drones. Every night and every day our air defence forces worked heroically to protect the Ukrainian sky and to make sure that for each of those warnings an all-clear was sounded and that each time we could leave the shelters and see that sky once again, proving that Ukrainians are stronger than terror. No matter how many missiles enemy forces launch, how many wicked, ruthless, country-wide attacks they launch in an effort to destroy and intimidate us, the Ukrainian people, to bring Ukraine under their heel, to make us disappear – we will rise every time. And those who bring hell to our land will one day see it outside their own windows. I spoke to you from where I work, in this very office, 676 days ago. There was a painting behind my back: a Ukrainian landscape. Today I have Ukrainian soldiers’ chevrons behind me. Each of them tells a story about our land, our sky, and our Ukraine, about our people and what we have achieved and what we are yet to achieve. About everyone who has left us. And about everyone who is still fighting. And about everyone who is yet to live on this land, and who will be proud of being Ukrainian. The whole world will know: Ukrainians are stronger! To everyone who has already found their place in our common struggle, I wish you to always have someone by your side who will lend you their shoulder and who will not betray you. To everyone who is still hesitating, my wish is that you make a brave choice next year: to defend what’s yours, to defend your country, to fight for it, to help it, to find your place in your country, because that’s the only place where we can find home. Today, just like a year ago, we are saying: "We don’t know what the coming year will bring us." This year, however, we can add: "Whatever it brings, we will be stronger." Now I want to say a few words that would have been considered trivial before the war, but that are now priceless. I wish you, your families, your loved ones, and everyone dear to you warmth and health. I wish everyone with a kindred heart a long life. I wish that those who we’ve lost can stay in our hearts forever. I wish lovers to have as much time together as possible. I wish that every child can have their dreams come true. I wish everyone simple human happiness. I wish our Ukraine victory and peace. Happy New Year, dear Ukrainians! Happy New Year, Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine!

RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda. (Shell Brasil), a subsidiary of Shell plc, announces the start of production of the FPSO Sepetiba in the Mero field, offshore Santos Basin in Brazil. The FPSO Sepetiba, also known as Mero-2, has an operational capacity of 12 million cubic meters of natural gas and 180,000 barrels of oil per day and is connected to six production and six injector wells to the field, in the first wave. Technology applied in the construction and operation of the FPSO will increase production efficiency and contribute to emissions reductions.

"This project aligns with Shell's Powering Progress strategy and our commitment to leverage increasingly efficient and competitive developments in our heartlands to provide safe, secure energy supplies today and for decades to come." The FPSO Sepetiba is located 180 kilometres from the coast of Rio de Janeiro in a water depth of 2,050 meters. Its predecessor, the FPSO Guanabara, also known as Mero-1, announced first production in April of 2022. The consortium plans to receive two more FPSOs by the middle of the decade.

Shell's net carbon intensity Also, in this announcement we may refer to Shell's "Net Carbon Intensity", which includes Shell's carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers' carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers' carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell's "Net Carbon Intensity" is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries. Shell's net-Zero Emissions Target Shell's operating plan, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Net Carbon Intensity (NCI) targets over the next ten years. However, Shell's operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCI target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell's operating plans to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target. Forward Looking Non-GAAP measures This announcement may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as [cash capital expenditure] and [divestments]. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc's consolidated financial statements. The contents of websites referred to in this announcement do not form part of this announcement. We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this announcement that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.

Missing Teen Found Safe: A Community’s Collective Sigh of Relief On a cold Friday evening, a 14-year-old girl, last seen on Sherston High Street near Malmesbury, disappeared. The scene as she climbed into a dark estate car ignited fears for her well-being. The community, struck with worry, rallied together, determined to find her safe and sound. After an intense period of searching, their collective sigh of relief echoed as the girl was discovered at a property outside Wiltshire. The police confirmed her safety, marking the end of the distressing chapter. The Disappearance Leah Mullins, a typical teenager from Sherston, vanished mysteriously. She was last seen at 7.30pm on December 29, entering a dark-colored estate car, her pink rucksack containing clothes, phone, and charger in tow. The sight, captured on a neighbor’s doorbell camera, sent waves of concern through the tight-knit community. In the days leading up to the incident, Leah’s mother noticed her being unusually secretive, an observation that took on a chilling significance after the girl’s sudden disappearance. Community and Police Response In response to Leah’s disappearance, the community mobilized with determination and urgency. Dozens of local residents joined the search effort, driven by a shared resolve to ensure the safe return of the young girl. Parallelly, the police swung into action, launching a thorough investigation into the incident. Their efforts culminated in Leah’s discovery at a property outside of Wiltshire. Arrest and Aftermath With Leah safely in police care, the focus shifted to the legal proceedings. A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of child abduction, highlighting the serious implications of such instances. Currently under questioning by authorities, he is yet to face the full extent of legal consequences. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the vigilance required in safeguarding our children and the importance of community involvement in ensuring their safety.

Mysterious Death at Weymouth Hotel: Five Arrested Under Suspicion of Murder Five local men have been apprehended by police in Weymouth, Dorset, under the shadows of suspicion, following the death of a man at the Hotel Central. The deceased was found in dire need of medical help on Saturday night, but his life slipped through the fingers of time shortly after midnight. The Major Crime Investigation Team (MCIT) is currently probing the case, with the death being treated as unexplained. Public Appeal and Police Response The investigation is spearheaded by Detective Inspector Mark Jenkins, who is leading his team to unravel the circumstances surrounding this mysterious incident. The arrested individuals are two 19-year-olds, along with men aged 21, 31, and 34, all hailing from the same locality. The MCIT has reached out to the public, pleading for any information that could reveal suspicious activity around the hotel on the night of the incident. Dorset Police and Crimestoppers are accepting input from anyone who could make a significant contribution to the case. The local community is on high alert, with residents reporting noticeable police activity and an increased presence of emergency response teams in the area. Investigation Continues The investigation continues to unfold, with an intensified police presence radiating reassurance to the local community. The first floor window of the hotel has been found shattered, with fragments of glass littering the pavement – a silent testimony to the horrifying crime. Meanwhile, efforts to identify the next of kin of the deceased are ongoing, and the coroner has been apprised of the situation. The road leading to the hotel was shut off to the public on the night of the incident, and a police cordon has been placed around the building as part of the ongoing investigation. The sinister mystery of the death at the Hotel Central is a chilling reminder of the darkness that can lurk in the corners of our seemingly peaceful localities. As the investigation continues, the hope is that light will be shed on this tragic incident, and justice will be served for the victim.

Over the years, billionaire Elon Musk has explored religion and the meaning of life during interviews. Religion was also one of the topics explored in a 2023 biography about Musk written by Walter Isaacson. What Happened: Musk has often explored The meaning of life in discussions, as related to space exploration and other subjects. In the 2023 biography "Elon Musk" by Isaacson, the billionaire shared his thoughts on religion while discussing his upbringing. Musk recalled attending Sunday School at the local church where his mother was a teacher. Musk immediately started questioning stories from the bible. "What do you mean, the waters parted? That's not possible," Musk said. Musk also said the story of Jesus feeding the crowd with bread and fish could not happen as things can't just materialize out of nothing. The billionaire also struggled with the concept of communion. "I took the blood and body of Christ, which is weird when you're a kid. I said ‘What the hell is this? Is this a weird metaphor for cannibalism?'" Musk was then able to stay home and read on Sunday mornings instead of going to church. The billionaire took what he knew from religion and thought there was no creator or a deity and instead, it was science that could explain things. "I began trying to figure out what the meaning of life and the universe was. And I got real depressed about it, like maybe life may have no meaning." Related Link: 52 Facts And Figures About Elon Musk Why It's Important: The Tesla Inc TSLA CEO discussed the meaning of life and whether he believes in God on the Full Send Podcast in 2022. Musk revealed he spent time at a Hebrew preschool — despite not being Jewish — and at an Anglican Sunday school. "I would say I generally agree with the teaching of Christianity, but I'm not religious," Musk said on the podcast. "I've never been particularly religious." Musk added that the principles of life including turning the other cheek and "loving thy neighbor as thyself are "Good principles." Musk said, "Something created the universe, or the universe is here" when asked if he believed in God. "You could say whatever caused the universe to be is God, depending on your view." Musk also touched on philosophy on the podcast and discussed the meaning of life. Musk told listeners they should expand their consciousness and search for the right questions to ask. Doing so could make the "opportunity to understand the meaning of life that much greater," he explained. Musk tweeted in May 2022 that he might die under mysterious circumstances. In response to a question about whether he had found out if there was an "almighty creator," Musk shared his take on hell. "Thank you for the blessing, but I'm OK with going to hell, if that is indeed my destination since the vast majority of all humans ever born will be there." There are many things people want to know about Musk, the CEO and investor in several of the largest companies and the world's richest man. Past interviews and the recently released biography highlight the role religion played in Musk's upbringing and a transition to exploring science and technology, which likely shaped his entrepreneurial spirit. Some elements of this story were previously reported by Benzinga and it has been updated. Read Next: Tesla, Twitter, SpaceX Or Dogecoin: Which Musk-Associated Asset Saw Highest Value Growth In 2023?

Adds China and North Korea Dec 31 (Reuters) - New Zealanders were among the first in the world to celebrate the arrival of 2024 with a fireworks display in Auckland on Monday. The fireworks illuminated the cloudy night sky and were accompanied by a laser light and animation show. Here's how some other places and people around the world were bidding farewell to 2023 and welcoming the New Year. SYDNEY - Sydney hailed 2024 with a dazzling fireworks display featuring silver and gold pyrotechnics to mark the 50th anniversary of its famous Opera House. GAZA - People in Gaza had little hope that 2024 will bring much relief after 12 weeks of Israel's war to eliminate Hamas. In Rafah on Gaza's border with Egypt, which has become the biggest focal point for Palestinians fleeing other parts of the enclave, people were more preoccupied on Sunday with trying to find shelter, food and water than with thinking about the New Year. "In 2024 I wish to go back to the wreckage of my home, pitch a tent and live there," said Abu Abdullah al-Agha, a middle- aged Palestinian man whose house in Khan Younis was destroyed and who lost a young niece and nephew in an Israeli air strike. QUEEN MARGRETHE - Denmark's Queen Margrethe II used her annual New Year's speech on Sunday to announce that she will abdicate on Jan. 14 after 52 years on the throne and will be succeeded by her eldest son, Crown Prince Frederik. XI JINPING - China President Xi Jinping, speaking on Sunday in a televised speech to mark the New Year, said the country will consolidate and enhance the positive trend of its economic recovery in 2024, and sustain long-term economic development with deeper reforms. KIM JONG UN - North Korea vowed to launch three new spy satellites, build military drones and boost its nuclear arsenal in 2024 as leader Kim Jong Un said U.S. policy is making war inevitable, state media reported on Sunday. Kim Jong Un and Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed to further develop relationship of cooperation between the two countries in New Year messages exchanged on Monday, South Korea's Yonhap news reported, citing North Korea's state radio. POPE FRANCIS - At his Sunday prayers at the Vatican, Pope Francis said: "I wish everyone a peaceful end of the year, and please do not forget to pray for me". FRANCE - French President Emmanuel Macron in a televised address ahead of New Year celebrations said 2024 would be "the year of our French pride" marked by the Paris 2024 Olympic Summer Games and the reopening of Notre-Dame cathedral after a devastating fire. GERMANY - Police on Sunday detained three further suspects in an alleged Islamist plot to attack Germany's famed Cologne Cathedral on New Year's Eve. The alleged attackers had planned to use a car to attack the 800-year-old Gothic cathedral, Cologne police said.

LONDON (AP) — Tom Wilkinson, the Oscar-nominated British actor known for his roles in “The Full Monty,” “Michael Clayton” and “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,” has died, his family said. He was 75. A statement shared by his agent on behalf of the family said Wilkinson died suddenly at home on Saturday. It didn’t provide further details. Wilkinson was nominated for a best actor Academy Award for his work in 2001’s family drama “In The Bedroom” and in the best supporting actor category for his role in “Michael Clayton,” a 2007 legal thriller that starred George Clooney. He is remembered by many in Britain and beyond for playing former steel mill foreman Gerald Cooper in the 1997 comedy “The Full Monty,” about a group of unemployed steel workers who formed an unlikely male stripping act. Wilkinson was born in Yorkshire in northern England in 1948 and spent part of his childhood in Canada. He attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in the 1970s. He starred in dozens of other TV dramas and movies, from “Rush Hour” and “Batman Begins” to “Shakespeare in Love,” “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and “Valkyrie.” He most recently reunited with his “Full Monty” co-stars, Robert Carlyle and Mark Addy in a Disney+ series of the same name. “He’ll be sorely missed by everyone who had the pleasure of working with him,” Carlyle said in a statement. “Such a huge performer, a real titan of an actor, one of the greats of not only his, but of any generation.” Wilkinson was recognized for his services to drama in 2005 when he was appointed a member of the Order of the British Empire. He also won a 2009 Golden Globe and 2008 Emmy for his role as Benjamin Franklin in the HBO series “John Adams.” Wilkinson married actress Diana Hardcastle in 1988. The couple had two daughters.	https://fox5sandiego.com/entertainment/ap-british-actor-tom-wilkinson-known-for-the-full-monty-and-michael-clayton-dies-at-75/	2024-01-01T00:34:49Z
(iSeeCars) – If you’re currently leasing a car and nearing the end of your lease term, you might be wondering what you should do next. Although new car inventory is rebounding, some new cars are selling above MSRP and car leases are also significantly more expensive than they were pre-pandemic. And while used car prices continue to fall, they are also more expensive than they were before the pandemic. In light of the current new and used car market, buying out your car lease might be your smartest option. How does the process work and should you buy out your car lease? We have the important answers. How a Lease Buyout Works If you’re leasing a vehicle, most finance companies will include a buyout option as part of your lease agreement. Your auto lease contract will state the end-of-lease purchase price based on the car’s residual value, which was estimated when you signed your lease. Leasing companies will often contact you near the end of your lease term to communicate your lease-end options, which will include either the buyout option or returning the vehicle to the dealership. Residual Value in Today’s Market Dealers calculate a vehicle’s residual value based on its projected depreciation, and this value is locked in at the beginning of a car’s lease. And if the start of your lease was before the current supply chain issues, your car’s lease buyout price might be well-below current market value. That means that at the end of the lease contract you could purchase your leased vehicle and either sell it for a profit, or you can continue driving your lightly used car at a price well below market value. Understanding the Value of Your Leased Car Here’s how you can compare the vehicle’s residual value or buyout amount with its market price. To calculate the market value of the vehicle, you can use pricing tools like the iSeeCars free VIN Check, Kelley Blue Book, or Edmunds. Be sure to check your original contract for extra fees like a purchase option fee to determine the total amount you will be paying for the vehicle. And be extra vigilant about dealer or finance company “add on” fees that were not specifically called out in your lease contract. Leased Car Buyout Price: Other Factors to Consider There are many factors that contribute to the buyout price of your car. This includes the vehicle’s make, model, residual value, and current value. The amount you paid for a down payment will also affect the buyout price. Additional fees include: - Buyout Fee/Purchase Option Charge: The leasing company will charge you for opting to buy the car rather than turning it in. - State sales tax - Registration fees Can I Finance My Lease Buyout? You can finance your lease buyout just as you would a regular used car purchase. The dealership will be eager to offer you financing, but you should also examine outside financing options as you would for a typical car loan. That means comparing interest rates from other lenders including banks and credit unions to see who will give you the best rate on your car lease buyout loan. Some lenders even offer auto loans specifically for lease buyouts. Keep in mind that the shorter your loan term, the more you will save on interest payments, but your monthly payments will be higher. That means you should opt for the shortest loan term you can afford. Also, your credit score will determine your loan rate, so make sure it is in good standing in order to get a competitive rate. If you have a poor credit score, you should consider having a co-signer. Other Things to Consider Anyone who has leased a car knows about the extra fees that often come at the end of the car lease. These fees include going over the mileage limits or any excess wear and tear your vehicle may have like scratches or dents. Buying out your lease will get you off the hook for these fees, so if either situation exists with your lease it is yet another reason to buy your car when the lease ends versus returning it. Some lease agreements offer early lease buyouts which allow you to buy the vehicle before your term expires. Make sure you refer to your leasing agreement to see if you will have to pay extra fees for an early buyout. If there are fees involved, it’s likely a smarter decision to wait until the end of your lease. Bottom Line Buying out your vehicle lease can be a lucrative way to save on a lightly-used vehicle in today’s market. You’ll also avoid the low inventory and markups on new cars. What’s more, you can enjoy the savings that come along with buying a used car in today’s market while avoiding the guesswork about how the car was driven and maintained by its previous owner. You can even sell your vehicle to a private seller for a profit if you don’t want to keep driving it. So if you are nearing the end of your lease, you should at least consider purchasing your vehicle instead of taking out another lease or buying a new or used car to replace it.

NDLEA Strikes Major Blow to Nigeria’s Drug Trade As Nigeria prepared to welcome the New Year, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) dealt a significant blow to the country’s drug trade. In a series of separate incidents, the NDLEA apprehended individuals involved in drug-related offenses, underscoring the agency’s unwavering commitment to quell the menace of narcotics. A Series of Arrests At the heart of the crackdown was the arrest of Agu Evidence Amobi, a Qatar-based businessman. Amobi was nabbed at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos while attempting to board a flight to Doha. In his possession, NDLEA agents discovered 1.30kg of cannabis sativa skilfully concealed within foodstuff. A stark reminder of the lengths individuals will go to smuggle drugs, Amobi claimed the narcotics were intended for his living expenses and his children’s education. Simultaneously, Uchegbu Onyebuchi Obi was detained for attempting to ship a staggering 72,000 pills of tramadol 225mg to Kano via a domestic flight. A carton containing an identical quantity of tramadol, totaling 38.50kg, was also seized by the NDLEA operatives. Christmas Day Operation In addition to these arrests, Christmas Day saw NDLEA officers intercept a truck in Yobe State laden with cannabis and opioids. The operation resulted in further arrests and the seizure of even more narcotics, emphasizing the relentless pursuit of the NDLEA in combating drug trafficking. Interstate Crackdown More successful operations were conducted across the country. In Imo State, a commercial bus carrying 400 bottles of codeine syrup and 7,590 pills of various opioids was intercepted. Other arrests in Kano and along the Lagos-Ilorin expressway unveiled caches of cannabis and the apprehension of individuals supplying drugs to bandits. The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency’s recent operations mark a significant stride in Nigeria’s ongoing struggle against the drug trade. They serve as a testament to the agency’s dedication and unwavering commitment to creating a drug-free Nigeria. As the New Year dawns, the NDLEA remains resolute and vigilant, ready to combat the drug trade at every turn.

Following Coinbase Global Inc's COIN launch in Canada, Benzinga spoke with the exchange’s Canada Country Director Lucas Matheson to discuss the expansion and plans for the upcoming year. BZ: It's been quite a journey for Coinbase in Canada. You launched this summer and quickly expanded to around 200 employees. Can you share the challenges you faced during this rapid scaling, and is there anything you wish you had approached differently in this market? Matheson: Coinbase Canada has had a fantastic year since we launched. We've built an incredible team across the country. Many Canadians have worked for Coinbase for several years, but we've expanded that. Furthermore, we've had some big wins, namely improving our product experience. One key milestone was introducing Interac – a Canadian interbank network addressing a significant product gap and making it easy for Canadians to deposit money through online banking. Over 80% of our inflows are coming to Coinbase Canada via Interac payments. In terms of scaling – we're committed to the country and building a strong team here to build safe, compliant products for Canadians. As for challenges – regulatory clarity is a significant focus. We're working closely with regulators to ensure we have a robust regulatory framework here to help Canadians have access to the digital economy. BZ: The Canadian banking system traditionally has high barriers to entry, as seen with market share divided between a few key players. However, the Canadian regulatory process is arguably way more effective. How did this fact influence the crypto expansion in this market? Matheson: Given such high levels of crypto awareness and demand in Canada, I think our regulators have done an excellent job at helping to establish regulatory clarity. They stepped in, drew a line in the sand and asked crypto trading platforms to sign a pre-registration undertaking earlier this year to commit to getting regulated in the country. That created an opportunity for our industry to work closely with regulators and identify the areas where we can build a strong framework for Canada and ensure that our industry can thrive here. While meeting these regulatory requirements in Canada is a high bar, I always remind myself that the outcomes regulators and Coinbase want are perfectly aligned. We want safe, trusted, real people on our platform acting responsibly. Coinbase has been working with regulators worldwide for the last decade to figure out how we can best ensure that, and we've been able to leverage that global experience to help Canadian regulators. Also Read: Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy Buys $616M Worth Of Bitcoin, Brings Total Holdings To $6B BZ: Canada dominates the global spot Bitcoin BTC/USD ETF market, with seven ETFs growing to almost CA$1 billion ($754 million) in 2023. Recently, we've seen BlackRock revise its ETF proposal, obviously working hard to appease the regulators. Looking toward the U.S. spot Bitcoin adaptation, do you see it negatively affecting this ETF momentum developed in Canada? Matheson: I see ETF approvals as institutional validation for the digital economy. I think it'd be a very positive signal for many markets – to have more ETFs available in large markets. I think in Canada, it'll increase demand and awareness as we see big institutions in the U.S. get involved. BZ: During a recent visit to Canada, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong noted that self-custodial wallets may evolve into the next version of browsers. Is Coinbase considering an expansion into standalone solutions beyond the typical API? Matheson: The mission of Coinbase is to increase economic freedom in the world, and there are many ways to do that. We think of increasing economic freedom and helping 3 groups: consumers, institutional investors and developers. Over the last year, we've invested considerable resources in areas like self-custody wallets and Layer Two solutions. A self-custody wallet might be the right gateway for many users to access and leverage Web 3. The idea is that your wallet has a concept of identity, permissions and value. This wallet can be used to help an individual store things like loyalty cards or obviously your funds and data about you and allow users to better interact with the internet by controlling data, permissions and funds in a simple way. One thing the internet unfortunately forgot about was the movement of money. Web 2 effectively forgot about moving money or data as a value around the web, and Web 3 is solving this by including value as a simple transfer form on a decentralized blockchain. BZ: Recently, Coinbase posted a video about the reality of real estate buying in Canada with the hashtag "update the system." Obviously, the real estate market in Canada has been problematic, and it has had a significant negative impact on society. How can Coinbase help address these issues? Matheson: Our recent videos were incredible. We're on a mission to update the system and remind people how broken our current financial system is. Surprisingly, we've put up with that system for so long. Real estate is a good example of an industry with many intermediaries to verify things like ownership, identity or move money, etc. These are native features of a blockchain. When I think about the experience of buying a house in the future – it will be a much safer, easier and more transparent transaction. Ultimately, this will save buyers money – which is a good thing. I am excited to see how real estate goes through tokenization and fractional ownership. It will allow people to invest or divest in smaller allocations. We have a lot of real estate investors globally who hold significant stores of value in real estate. I believe many investors are looking for liquidity, and tokenized assets could be a good path for them. BZ: The next year is upon us. After such a remarkable recovery in 2023, can crypto continue this upbeat momentum? Which challenges do you see on the road ahead? Matheson: I think that most of the big challenges in Canada are behind us. The opportunity for us is to continue driving regulatory clarity and finding use cases in the digital economy that other geographies can look at, understand and incorporate into their economies. We have a lot of strong momentum from the regulatory perspective worldwide, Canada included. One of the big challenges is gaining political and banking leadership that can strengthen our economy and position Canada as a leader. BZ: It sounds like you’ve had a great year, and we’re looking forward to what 2024 holds. Anything else you’d like to add or share? Matheson: Coinbase Canada has had an incredible year, and I’m excited for what’s to come in 2024. Canadians are learning quickly about the digital economy. Our goal is to help as many access that market as possible. It’s an exciting time for us!

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Paula Abdul has accused former “American Idol” producer Nigel Lythgoe of sexually assaulting her in the early 2000s when she was a judge on the reality competition show, according to a new lawsuit. The lawsuit filed Friday in Los Angeles also accuses Lythgoe of sexually assaulting Abdul after she left “American Idol” and became a judge on Lythgoe’s other competition show “So You Think You Can Dance.” The Associated Press generally does not identify alleged victims of sexual assault unless they come forward publicly, as Abdul has done. In a statement Saturday, Abdul’s lawyer Douglas Johnson applauded the singer and dancer for speaking out publicly. “It was clearly a difficult decision to make, but Ms. Abdul knows that she stands both in the shoes and on the shoulders of many other similarly situated survivors, and she is determined to see that justice is done,” Johnson said. Lythgoe said in a statement that he was “shocked and saddened” to hear of the allegations made by Abdul, who he said he considered a “dear” and “entirely platonic” friend. “While Paula’s history of erratic behavior is well known, I can’t pretend to understand exactly why she would file a lawsuit that she must know is untrue,” Lythgoe said in the statement. “But I can promise that I will fight this appalling smear with everything I have.” The lawsuit states Abdul remained silent for years about the alleged assaults out of fear of retaliation by “one of the most well-known producers of television competition shows.” Before “American Idol” and “So You Think You Can Dance,” on which Lythgoe served as a judge for 16 seasons, he was a producer on the British show “Pop Idol,” which became a global franchise that includes the U.S. iteration starring Abdul. According to the lawsuit, the first sexual assault occurred while Abdul and Lythgoe were on the road filming auditions for an earlier season of “American Idol,” which premiered in 2002. Abdul says Lythgoe groped her in the elevator of their hotel after a day of filming and “began shoving his tongue down her throat.” Abdul pushed him away and ran to her hotel room when the elevator doors opened. “In tears, Abdul quickly called one of her representatives to inform them of the assault,” the lawsuit says, “but ultimately decided not to take action for fear that Lythgoe would have her fired from American Idol.” Abdul, a Grammy- and Emmy-winning artist, starred as a judge for the first eight seasons, leaving in 2009. In 2015, Abdul became a judge on “So You Think You Can Dance,” appearing alongside Lythgoe. Around that time, Abdul alleged in the lawsuit, Lythgoe forced himself on top of her during a dinner at his home and tried to kiss her. Abdul said she again pushed Lythgoe away and immediately left. Abdul left the reality show after two seasons. She has not worked with Lythgoe since. The lawsuit also accuses Lythgoe of taunting Abdul about the alleged assaults, saying to her years later that “they should celebrate” because “the statute of limitations had run.” Abdul filed the suit days before the Dec. 31 deadline of a California law that opened a one-year window for victims to file lawsuits involving sexual abuse claims after the statute of limitations has run out. More than 3,700 legal claims were filed under a similar law in New York that expired last month.	https://fox5sandiego.com/entertainment/ap-entertainment/ap-paula-abdul-accuses-american-idol-producer-nigel-lythgoe-of-sexual-assault-in-lawsuit/	2024-01-01T00:34:55Z

Nigerian Police Ban Fireworks on New Year’s Eve to Curtail Criminal Activities In a move to ensure public safety during the New Year’s Eve celebrations, the Delta State Police Command in Nigeria has issued a stringent directive against the use of fireworks, knockouts, and other pyrotechnic devices. The announcement was made by the Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe, who took to social media to emphasize the enforcement of the ban. A Preemptive Measure Against Crime Edafe stated that the prohibition is particularly relevant in Delta State, given the potential for such activities to provide a smokescreen for criminal elements. Amidst the cacophony of the celebrations, armed robbers and kidnappers could potentially commit crimes without being easily detected, hence the need for the ban. Strict Enforcement and Potential Arrests The police have been handed down instructions to ensure strict adherence to the ban. The implication is clear; violators could face potential arrest. This stern warning comes as a reminder of a directive issued previously on December 15, which explicitly banned the sale and usage of such items in the state. A Humorous Caution and a ‘Giveaway’ In light of the enforcement, Edafe offered a humorous caution to the residents, warning them against spending the crossover night in a police cell. He went on to mention that complying with the ban should be considered his ‘giveaway’ to the public—a tongue-in-cheek reference to the popular practice of giving away gifts or services on social media.

Nikia Wade: Welcome to the Monthly Milestone - where we bring you the very best analysts, investors, and traders in this world! These are folks who have been in the industry for decades, and they're getting results. There are a lot of places where you could get advice from people, but you want to get insight from those who are actually getting the results that you want. So I am very excited to have the one and only options expert Nic Chahine. He is working around the clock every single day just to help investors learn and really navigate through the market. So, Nic, I don't take it lightly that you made the time to join us today on Monthly Milestone. The Method Behind the Madness Nikia Wade: There are a lot of trades that you've had that are extremely impressive. I’m talking about double-digit gains and triple-digit gains. There was one recently that really caught my attention. We're not going to give the name of the stock quite yet, but let's explore how you process addressing the market and really what goes on in that genius mind of yours. There was an options play that you released to your current subscribers, investors looking to make money in the market. Literally overnight, it soared by a double-digit gain. So without saying the name of the company, could you run a cell maybe like 3 to 5 points? How did it cross your radar and how did you know that this would be a good idea to jump into? Nic Chahine: Thanks for having me here. I wouldn't miss the opportunity for the world. So I'm here to spread the good word. So the idea is to not make mistakes. So my first priority is to try to avoid the easy mistakes. Part of it includes doing homework all the time. And that's what we do. And we share the homework. Even though the rhythm of the market was negative at the time of the pick, you can still have upside potential in tickers that hit levels of support and you expect the price to do something. As far as the expectations, we're not always chasing the quick buck. We want to have some sustainable ideas that anybody with any kind of schedule would be able to to capitalize on. This one just happened to deliver overnight. So in this market, when everything has rhythm, you don't want to go against the rhythm, and the rhythm is lower lows and lower highs for that particular take around the whole market. So you take the advantages that it gives you. You get a quick buck, you book it and you try to re-engage with it at a later point. That's not all of them like this, but this one played out quickly. The idea is to give somebody some time, lend them the idea. They contemplate it for a day, and then they hop on maybe. Then, they have it play out over weeks, two months, or even a year. But that last one happened to be a quick win. So we have a few other ideas still in the hopper, but this one was great how it panned out the very next day. Nikia Wade: That's amazing. I know that you have different tools that you use to measure the market. Was there anything that happened in the market at that time where you were like, “Yes, I definitely want to go ahead, jump in and get on?” Nic Chahine: It's a combination of things. So the one thing was that this particular ticker was falling into support. So that in itself gave me clues that, “Hey, the last time I was here, I bounced.” That's the first clue. Then you have to look at some other things: How has the rest of the market been doing? What's the news flow like? Are there any disruptions in the price action? I want to know what's coming so I can identify those little disruptions. Also, you have to look at the company itself. Does it have any planned headlines coming like earnings, dividends, or whatever? It's all part of it. You can't just jumping to an idea. Also, you look at the technicals. That’s really important these days because you don't hear them say most of the trading is done by machines. Well, machines use math and geometry. So if you ignore those two things, you're ignoring a huge part of trading these days and investing. Every investor needs to know charts. And if they don't, they have people like us that help them. So charts play a big role when you enter a play. You have to have strong reasons for why you’re entering a play. You have to have your reasons, and I did. And then you need to have an exit strategy. So with the whole picture, it's a bunch of little things that are habits that professionals do that the retail clients (the ones that don't do it for a living) need to adopt those habits. And we try to instill those habits in there, but with our behavior. Nikia Wade: Beautiful. So the stars were aligned for you. You're looking at the charts; you're looking at what's going on with support. You're feeling that everything is in alignment and you need to jump in. And like you said, it just soared over overnight. If you're looking for guidance and a little help with navigating the markets, you don't want to be out here doing that by yourself. And that's why we have people like Nic, who are generous to actually help investors get the right information. So what was the options play that you did that brought in double-digit gains literally overnight? Nic Chahine: Now, the options play was… Get the Full Story ASAP To access the full Monthly Milestone podcast audio recording and newsletter for free, join Nic’s Options: Stater here starting at only $0.99/month.

NEW YORK (AP) — The confetti has been tested for airiness. The giant numerals – 2 0 2 4 – are in place. And the luminous ball, bedazzled with 2,688 crystal triangles, is fixed to the pole from which it makes its 60-second descent at 11:59 p.m. With throngs of revelers set to usher in the new year under the bright lights of Times Square, officials and organizers say they are prepared to welcome the crowds and ensure their safety. At a security briefing Friday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said there were “no specific threats” to the annual New Year’s Eve bash, which is expected to draw tens of thousands of people to the heart of midtown Manhattan on Sunday. The celebrity-filled event will include live performances from Flo Rida, Megan Thee Stallion and LL Cool J, as well as televised appearances from Cardi B and others. Organizers said in-person attendance is expected to return to pre-COVID levels, even as foot traffic around Times Square remains down slightly since the pandemic. Amid near-daily protests in New York sparked by fighting between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza, police said they would expand the security perimeter around the party, creating a “buffer zone” that will allow them to head off potential demonstrations. Pro-Palestinian marches have disrupted recent events in New York, including the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the ceremonial lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. “We will be out here with our canines, on horseback, our helicopters, our boats,” Adams said. Officials will also monitor protests with drones, he said. “But as we saw last year, after having no specific threats, we get a threat.” During last year’s New Year’s Eve party, a machete-wielding man attacked three police officers a few blocks from Times Square. On Saturday, as organizers practiced raising and lowering the iconic ball, Times Square Alliance President Tom Harris said he was confident the painstaking preparations would contribute to a seamless night. “The star of the show just had a dress rehearsal and performed marvelously,” he said. “I’m confident that everything is going to go fantastic in Times Square tomorrow night.” His advice for those planning to attend the countdown: “Come early.”	https://fox5sandiego.com/entertainment/ap-revelers-set-to-pack-into-times-square-for-annual-new-years-eve-ball-drop/	2024-01-01T00:35:02Z

Off-Duty Officer Thwarts Carjacking Attempt Amid Rising Crime Trend An off-duty police officer in Oxon Hill, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C., was confronted by two alleged carjackers in a bold attempt to steal his vehicle. The incident took place around 5 p.m. in a parking lot near the Tanger Outlets National Harbor shopping center last evening. The officer, who was helping his family get into the car, drew his department-issued firearm and fired shots at the suspects, causing them to flee in his vehicle. The family was left unscathed, and there is no current evidence that the suspects were hit by the officer’s gunfire. Identifying the Suspects According to Assistant Chief Vernon Hale III of Prince George’s County Police Department, one of the suspects, identified as Anthony Stewart, a 19-year-old resident of Washington, D.C., was later apprehended. Stewart now faces multiple charges, including carjacking and robbery. However, the second suspect remains at large. The police department has issued a call for tips from the public to aid in the suspect’s identification and capture. The Worrying Trend of Carjackings This incident is not an isolated event but part of a growing trend of carjackings in the region. Prince George’s County Police has reported an alarming surge in such crimes, with over 500 cases in its jurisdiction this year alone—an 18% increase from the previous year. Nearby Washington, D.C. has experienced an even more significant rise, with carjackings more than doubling compared to the same period in 2022. Response to the Crime Spike In light of this crime spike, the police have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any pertinent information regarding the second suspect. The officer involved in this incident has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an ongoing investigation.

NEW YORK (AP) — A husband and wife and their two sons, ages 10 and 12, were found dead in a suburban New York home Saturday in what authorities described as a murder-suicide by a police sergeant. Police officials said Watson Morgan, a sergeant with the Bronxville Police Department, fatally shot his wife, Ornela Morgan, 43, and their sons before taking his own life. The four bodies were discovered by police just after midnight on Friday at the family’s home in New City, a suburb of New York City, after Morgan failed to show up for his evening shift at the Bronxville Police Department. “At this phase in the investigation it is believed that Watson killed his wife and two children, prior to killing himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” the Clarkstown Police Department said. All four had gunshot wounds, police said. A handgun was recovered at the scene. Watson, 49, began his career with the New York Police Department in 2000 before joining the force in Bronxville, a village in Westchester County, seven years later, according to a department biography. He was promoted to sergeant in 2016. In a statement, Bronxville Police Chief Christopher Satriale said the killings left the department with “profoundly broken hearts at the senseless loss of innocent lives.” “Our hearts go out to Sergeant Morgan’s extended family,” he said. “Our thoughts and prayers are also with his Bronxville Police Department family.”	https://fox5sandiego.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-family-of-4-found-dead-in-apparent-murder-suicide-by-new-york-police-sergeant/	2024-01-01T00:35:08Z
