Eye Tracking Sensors and Modules for AR and VR Market Set for Exceptional Growth from 2024 to 2032
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The right frame can freeze a moment in time, creating meaning for the masses from a fist pump over a bloodied ear , a bridge crumbled by a ship , towns shredded by nature , and a victory sealed with an on-field kiss . In 2024, photographers across the U.S. captured glimpses of humanity, ranging from a deeply divisive presidential election , to hurricanes and fires that ravaged communities, to campus protests over the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. The gallery from The Associated Press illustrates a new chapter of political history — the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump , the moment President Joe Biden announced he would no longer run again , the campaign sprint by Vice President Kamala Harris in Biden’s place, and the raw emotion from voters during a grueling contest ultimately won by Trump . Hurricanes whipped through the country with devastating imagery, leaving a path of wreckage and death from Florida to Appalachia . After Hurricane Helene , Lake Lure in North Carolina was shown in a jarring photo covered in shards of debris thick enough to hide the surface of the water. Hurricane Milton ripped apart the roof of Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, home to Major League Baseball’s Tampa Bay Rays. The scale of destruction experienced in some corners of the country in 2024 was hard to capture and might have been harder to fathom. That was the case when a container ship slammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing it to collapse and crumple around the vessel, killing construction workers on the bridge. As flames torched the landscape in California , another image captured firefighters and sheriff’s deputies pushing a vintage car away from a burning home. Elsewhere in California , one photo is aglow with bright orange flames, broken up only by the subtle features of an animal running through them. But hope also persevered in the face of devastation. In Helene’s aftermath , an image from Crystal River, Florida, shows Dustin Holmes holding hands with his girlfriend, Hailey Morgan, as they sloshed through floodwaters with her 4- and 7-year-old children to return to their flooded home. And in Manasota Key, Florida, a family was lit up by the glow of flashlights as they walked to check on their home damaged by Milton. Other photos from 2024 also grabbed the darkness and shadows to emphasize light: among them, a rocket liftoff and a total solar eclipse . And, yes, eclipse glasses were back in style for a shared moment of skygazing. But many other photos delivered a blast of color, from the spectrum of the northern lights across a Maine sky to a crew of workers wading into the deep-red of a Massachusetts cranberry bog . And, once again, Taylor Swift captured the country’s attention, even as a part of the crowd. She rushed down from the stands to kiss her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, after the Chiefs won the AFC Championship , en route to another Super Bowl win.FAKRA Coaxial RF Connectors Market 2024: A Decade of Phenomenal Growth Ahead 12-29-2024 06:58 PM CET | Business, Economy, Finances, Banking & Insurance Press release from: Prudent Markets FAKRA Coaxial RF Connectors Market The FAKRA Coaxial RF Connectors Market 2024-2023 report provides a comprehensive analysis of Types (FAKRA PCB Plug Connectors, FAKRA Cable Jack Connectors, FAKRA Cable Plug Connectors), Application (GPS, Infotainment & Television, Safety & Security, In-Vehicle Network, Others), Analysis of Industry Trends, Growth, and Opportunities, R&D landscape, Data security and privacy concerns Risk Analysis, Pipeline Products, Assumptions, Research Timelines, Secondary Research and Primary Research, Key Insights from Industry Experts, Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2024-2032.

Elon Musk says he could build $20 TRILLION vacuum tube tunnel between London & New York – taking you there in 54 MINUTESFormer U.S. President Jimmy Carter, renowned globally for his humanitarian efforts following his presidency, has passed away at the age of 100. Naija News reports that The Carter Center confirmed his death on Sunday, stating, “ Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia.” Carter’s death comes just months after the passing of his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn, who died in November 2023 at the modest home they built in 1961. The couple had spent their later years in the same house where Carter began managing his father’s peanut business before venturing into politics. In February 2023, Carter announced his decision to enter hospice care, choosing to forego further medical intervention. At the time, his grandson, Jason Carter, shared, “They are at peace and – as always – their home is full of love ,” in a heartfelt social media post. Despite his declining health, Carter remained politically engaged, expressing his desire to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. Carter, who served as the 39th president from 1977 to 1981, made history as the longest-living former U.S. president, surpassing George H.W. Bush in 2019. Following his single term in office, he dedicated decades to charitable causes, including monitoring elections in developing countries, building homes through Habitat for Humanity, and teaching Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia. During his presidency, Carter achieved significant milestones, such as brokering the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, transferring control of the Panama Canal to Panama, expanding public lands in Alaska, and formalizing diplomatic ties with China. However, his administration faced challenges, including high inflation, energy crises, and the Iran hostage crisis, which contributed to his defeat in the 1980 election against Ronald Reagan. In his later years, Carter battled various health issues, including brain cancer in 2015 and complications from falls in 2019. Nonetheless, his commitment to humanitarian work never wavered. His efforts were recognized in 2002 when he received the Nobel Peace Prize, cementing his legacy as a tireless advocate for peace and human rights.
(BPT) - The new year is a good time to reset. From a fresh start on lifestyle choices, hobbies or pursuits, to the less exciting — but no less important — aspects of life, like memberships, contracts and even health insurance. Health insurance deductibles reset in the new year, so it's a good idea to keep that in mind as you plan for healthcare expenses. Any changes made to your health insurance plan during open enrollment go into effect as well. "Even if you spent hours researching your health plan before making a selection, there's always a possibility for the occasional surprise once coverage kicks in, which is why it's important to assess your healthcare coverage and address any gaps before January 1," said Doug Armstrong, Vice President of Health Products and Services at AARP Services, Inc. "AARP members can take advantage of benefits available to them to help find the coverage and savings information they seek." 1. Examine your vision coverage Eye health is important to quality of life, both in terms of moving around safely and appreciating your surroundings. Regular eye exams with an ophthalmologist or optometrist can help make sure your vision is sharp while also monitoring for any issues. However, many health insurance plans don't include vision coverage. If you do see a gap in your coverage, AARP members have access to information on vision insurance options that offer individual and family plans, featuring a large doctor network, savings on frames, lens enhancements, progressives and more. 2. Plan for prescriptions While several health plans offer coverage for prescription drugs, discounts can vary, especially when it comes to different types of medication. AARP ® Prescription Discounts Provided by Optum RX ® can help with savings. This program offers a free prescription discount card that can be used at over 66,000 pharmacies nationwide for savings on FDA-approved medications. Additional benefits for AARP members include home delivery, deeper discounts on medications, coverage for dependents and more. 3. Confirm your primary care With a new health insurance plan, you might find that your primary care physician is no longer in-network or that they no longer accept your insurance. Perhaps you have relocated and are in the market for a new doctor. Whatever the case, there's no time like the present to search for a new primary care physician who meets your needs. If you're on Medicare, Oak Street Health can be a great resource. The only primary care provider to carry the AARP name, Oak Street Health provides primary care for adults on Medicare and focuses on prevention with personalized care to help keep you healthy — physically, mentally and socially. Benefits include same-day/next-day appointments where available, convenient locations, a dedicated care team and a 24/7 patient support line. AARP membership is not required to visit an Oak Street Health location. 4. Protect your smile Optimal dental care includes daily brushing and flossing and a visit to the dentist every six months. During your visit, the dentist can monitor for and treat any issues, such as cavities or gum disease. However, not all plans include dental insurance, which means you might end up paying out of pocket for your cleaning and other procedures. To avoid that, take a look at your coverage. If needed, explore information on dental insurance options that offer individual or family coverage for the most common dental procedures. Dental insurance generally pays for regular check-ups, so many people who purchase protection will benefit from it immediately. 5. Clarify your hearing coverage Hearing loss is a common age-related ailment. According to the National Institute on Aging , one-third of older adults have hearing loss, and the chance of developing hearing loss increases with age. Hearing aids can be an enormous help, improving socialization, boosting confidence and even helping to increase balance. However, many insurance plans do not include coverage for hearing aids. AARP ® Hearing SolutionsTM provided by UnitedHealthcare ® Hearing provides savings on hearing aids and hearing care . Members can save an average of $2,000 per pair on prescription hearing aids and 15% on accessories — no insurance needed. Plus receive a hearing exam and consultation at no cost and personalized support through a large nationwide network of hearing providers. 6. Consider physical therapy Often, the only times that people consider whether their health insurance covers physical therapy is if they already participate in it or after the doctor has prescribed it. As we age, though, physical therapy can be a useful tool in improving balance or recovering from an injury or procedure to help you remain active. Fortunately, the question of coverage or finding an in-network location doesn't have to derail you. AARP ® Physical Therapy At HomeTM by Luna accepts most insurances and Medicare and is available to members and non-members alike. Plus, Luna's experts come to you, so you can receive quality care from the comfort of your home. If you're creating an end-of-year to-do list, consider adding an assessment of your healthcare coverage. After all, the best time to realize you have a gap in coverage is before you need it.

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haiti’s health minister has been removed from his post, government officials told The Associated Press on Thursday, following a deadly gang attack on the largest public hospital in the capital, Port-au-Prince. The two government officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the issue, said Health Minister Duckenson Lorthe will be replaced by Justice Minister Patrick Pelissier until a new health minister is found. Two journalists and a police officer were killed Tuesday as gang members burst into the General Hospital and fired indiscriminately at reporters who were there to cover the facility’s reopening. It was one of the worst attacks on Haitian media in recent memory. Seven other journalists were injured. Jean Frans Regala, a photographer who survived, said journalists had been invited to the hospital by the health ministry but there was little security at the site. “The fact that the minister of health invited us, you feel that preparations have been made already,” Regala told the AP. “When we made contact with a police unit, the police told us they were not aware of the event.” Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. The health minister did not show up at the event, for reasons that have not been explained. On Tuesday, Johnson “Izo” André, considered Haiti’s most powerful gang leader and part of the Viv Ansanm group of gangs that has taken control of much of Port-au-Prince, posted a video on social media claiming responsibility for the attack. The video said the gang coalition had not authorized the hospital’s reopening. Gang violence has worsened in Haiti since the nation’s president was killed in a 2021 coup attempt. Gangs are believed to control 85% of the capital and earlier this year staged attacks on the main airport and the country’s two largest prisons. The Caribbean country has struggled to organize an election that will restore democratic rule, and is currently governed by a transitional council made up of representatives of political parties, business groups and civil society organizations. Advertisement AdvertisementLucknow: UP is implementing a ‘ Digital Kumbh ' vision, with AI serving as a pivotal technological component, said Awanish Awasthi, the chief advisor to CM Yogi Adityanath at the ET AI conclave. He said, "During the 2019 Kumbh, AI was pioneered for security surveillance, monitoring crowd movements through camera networks. Recognised by UNESCO as a world heritage event, this time the Maha Kumbh is anticipated to witness a gathering of 40 crore. Therefore, AI integration will become paramount across all organisational aspects of kumbh." He said, "The state is in the process of formulating a comprehensive policy for artificial intelligence. Having examined Telangana's existing AI policy framework, a similar initiative is proposed for Uttar Pradesh . A high-level committee, chaired by the principal secretary of IT, has conducted multiple rounds of deliberations with numerous experts and private sector representatives." "Uttar Pradesh aims for a one trillion-dollar economy, having progressed from $250 billion to approximately $300-352 billion. The state's growth trajectory necessitates an increase from 13.2% to 15-20%. Tourism, experiencing 40% growth with 48 crore visitors projected to reach 56 crore, alongside IT sector development, are vital drivers," he said. Awasthi said, "For Uttar Pradesh, establishing Lucknow as an AI hub is paramount. Substantial effort is required, as second-tier cities nationwide, including Ahmedabad, Pune and Indore, have already advanced considerably. We need to establish an AI Innovation Authority for focused development." UP , being India's largest state, possesses an enormous data repository that requires AI-driven analysis and utilisation, he stressed. "We seek assistance from industry leaders like NVIDIA for project implementation. Our technical university is actively progressing in this domain. We must learn from global best practices and align with NITI Aayog's national AI strategy. The National AI Intelligence Portal offers numerous opportunities for development," Awasthi said. He added, "Various international ambassadors, including Israel's, have met with the chief minister to discuss potential collaborations. Achieving our trillion-dollar economy goal necessitates 40% annual growth in high-growth sectors like IT, supported by AI, and tourism. These sectors are crucial for reaching the required 25% overall state growth."Fluorescent Protein Labeling Market Set for Exceptional Growth from 2024 to 2032 12-29-2024 06:55 PM CET | Business, Economy, Finances, Banking & Insurance Press release from: Prudent Markets Fluorescent Protein Labeling Market The Fluorescent Protein Labeling Market 2024-2023 report provides a comprehensive analysis of Types (Protein Based Fluorophores, Organic Fluorophores, Organic Polymers, Other), Application (University and Research Institutions, Biopharmaceutical Manufacturers, Hospital and Commercial Laboratories, Other), Analysis of Industry Trends, Growth, and Opportunities, R&D landscape, Data security and privacy concerns Risk Analysis, Pipeline Products, Assumptions, Research Timelines, Secondary Research and Primary Research, Key Insights from Industry Experts, Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2024-2032.

NFL Week 17 grades: Colts get an 'F' for choking against Giants; Saquon Barkley leads Eagles to an 'A+'EXCLUSIVE Taylor Swift's reaction to Matty Healy's 'gross' behavior after Azealia Banks outburst READ MORE: Matty Healy packs on PDA with his fiancée Gabbriette in Sydney By JAMES VITUSCKA and EMMA POWELL FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 19:22, 7 December 2024 | Updated: 20:05, 7 December 2024 e-mail 15 shares 23 View comments Taylor Swift was 'disappointed' by former fling Matty Healy 's aggressive online spat with Azealia Banks, claim friends close to the star who said she was 'shocked' that he threatened assault . The 1975 frontman, 35, engaged in yet another fiery back-and-forth with the controversial rapper on Tuesday in which he boasted about wanting to 'slap' Azealia after she made public remarks about him and his fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel . He tweeted: 'Talk to me like that I’m not gonna side eye you at an awards do I'll f****** slap you so hard I'll get a Guinness world record for the highest a rat some bitch calls a wig has ever flown.' His threat of physical violence towards the female hitmaker sparked outcry, with insiders claiming that for Taylor, it helped to 'reaffirm' why their relationship was never more than a brief romance. 'There is a reason why Taylor didn’t get deeply involved with him after her split from Joe Alwyn ,' a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. 'She has known Matty a very long time and she had worked with him professionally, but she is no longer in communication with him. Taylor Swift was 'disappointed' by former fling Matty Healy's aggressive online spat with controversial rapper Azealia Banks, claim friends close to the star Matty, 35, engaged in a fiery back-and-forth with the controversial rapper in which he boasted about wanting to 'slap' her after she made remarks about him and his fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel 'In no way should a man ever threaten to harm a woman, or anyone else for that matter.' They continued: 'He is facing demons clearly. Taylor knows his family as well and everyone just really hopes that he gets the help he needs before it is too late.' A second source added: 'Taylor is disappointed by Matty’s recent behavior and it has kind of reaffirmed that moving on from him was the right decision. 'She was shocked that he threatened to assault Azealia.' The drama kicked off when Azealia criticized Charlie XCX, the pop superstar fiancée of Matty's 1975 bandmate George Daniel. 'Charli used to be sooo pretty. Ugh,' she wrote. Matty fired back with the scathing response: 'All the women you attack seem to be culturally relevant, attractive, divisive and NICE people. I think this makes you jealous cos you're so talented but everything else about you is a failure. Just rap bro.' He then came to the defense of his own fiancée, as he ranted: 'And on that point if I see one little s**t bag twitter barista say ONE thing about my Gabi, EVER, I will use my mental illness to full affect and I will dox and f**k you up. I’m so over pretending to have different standards online cos it’s ’not real’. Well, a f***in slap is.' His threat of physical violence sparked outcry, with insiders claiming that for Taylor, it helped to 'reaffirm' why their relationship was never more than a brief romance 'There is a reason why Taylor didn’t get deeply involved with him after her split from Joe Alwyn ,' a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. However, an unimpressed Azealia responded by insulting both Gabriette and Matty, as she savagely replied: 'The b***h look[s] like Frankenstein to me. You both look like you share needles. Lmao.' An enraged Matty then issued a wildly dramatic threat, tweeting: 'Talk to me like that I’m not gonna side eye you at an awards do I'll f******slap you so hard I'll get a Guiness world record for the highest a rat some bitch calls a wig has ever flown.' Recognizing the inappropriate nature of his outburst, the singer quickly backtracked, and wrote: 'Nah I can't be saying I'm gonna hit a girl that's insane I'm sorry. You just can't keep being so mean about my mates and my mrs it's really hurtful gets me well defensive.' After Azealia threatened to sue Matty over his threat of physical violence, he later issued a groveling apology on the Reddit page for The 1975, telling fans he had 'let himself down' and that he felt 'gross' for having 'acted violent.' He wrote: 'What a bad day, I really let myself down. I have worked so hard to move past these impulsive self destructive and honestly quite volatile outbursts I have. 'I’m constantly making trouble for myself for no reason, I come back to social media after depressive episodes (which is NOT an excuse) because I often become sober, so as an addict when I’m not using I pick up social media my new way of "consuming" and changing how I feel. 'I just feel dreadful about how I acted violent – I think Azealia and all obvious flawed people all deep down have a heart and I hate that I have contributed to her mental fragility. She’s a human. 'This cultural discourse has become so violent in general. I don’t wanna act like I regret who I am or who have been. But Tbh at this point I feel gross even having said anything negative ever about anything – if it’s contributed to this culture.' Recognizing the inappropriate nature of his outburst, Matty quickly backtracked on his comments and apologized to fans for his words Matty and Gabbriette have been linked since September 2023, when they were spotted packing on the PDA in New York City , shortly after his well-publicized split from Taylor Swift in June that year. The couple went on to announce their engagement in June 2024 after a whirlwind nine month romance, with Gabbriette showing off her black diamond ring on Instagram. Despite the short relationship Taylor shared with Matty, the musician became the surprising focus on a number of songs on her latest album The Tortured Poets Department, which dropped in April. Taylor, who is dating Travis Kelce, is widely believed to take aim at him in the songs The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived and Fortnight (feat. Post Malone) among others, prompting renewed fan scrutiny of the period they dated. Weeks later, Matty seemingly made a sly dig towards the hitmaker's choice to write songs about her past romances, calling it such 'an obvious thing to draw from,' that he finds 'not interesting.' Appearing on Joshua Citarella’s podcast Doomscroll, Matty declared he didn't want to write about his flings that he's 'become known for.' He said: 'Last year I became a way more well-known public figure for loads of different reasons. The only reason that I was interested in is kind of like, what I was doing. 'So I think that a lot of artists, they become very interested in their lore, or they become interested in the things that have happened outside of their art that people know about, and they want to address that, and fair enough.' He subsequently deleted the threatening tweet, acknowledging it 'was not cool even if I was angry' Azealia had made unkind comments about Matty and his fiancée Gabbriette which prompted Matty to issue his wildly dramatic threat The drama unfolded when Azealia first criticized Charli XCX, pop superstar and fiancée of Matty's 1975 bandmate George Daniel He went on: 'Maybe on my first record, when it was very much a series of journal entries, like little bits of heartache, I used to write about relationships a lot more and stuff like that. 'But honestly I would kind of just be lying if I made a record about, I don’t know, all the stuff that was said about me or my casual romantic liaisons or whatever it may be, that I’ve kind of become known for just because I was famous.' Subtly hitting out at artists who use their romances for inspiration, he added: 'I think that that’s an obvious thing to draw from and I’m just not interested in it. And I think the maintenance of the status quo is something that I always like fight against. 'So, the idea of making a record about something that personally happened to me, that by the time I put it out is gonna be like two years old. I see people doing that as well, and it’s not interesting.' Taylor has famously written a number of songs that are believed to be about her past romantic partners, including Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer and Joe Jonas. Her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department, made references to current boyfriend Travis Kelce, as well as exes Joe and Matty.

Ford's first-ever turbo diesel mill debuted in 1994 for the F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickup trucks. Popularly known as the 7.3 Power Stroke, it remained in production until 2003. The Ford 7.3 Power Stroke diesel wasn't only immensely torquey and powerful, but it gained a reputation for being the most robust and durable in the business. Many regard the 7.3 Power Stroke as one of the best engines ever put in a Ford truck , and industry experts crowned it as one of the best engines ever produced. It cemented the Power Stroke's reputation for being a reliable workhorse. Depending on the configuration, Ford trucks with the 7.3 Power Stroke diesel could tow 8,000 to 13,900 pounds. From 1994 to 1995, early iterations were pumping out 215 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque. By 1996, the diesel horsepower wars were in full swing, and Ford responded by hiking the 7.3 Power Stroke's output to 225 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque. Near the end of its reign, it produced up to 275 horsepower and 525 lb-ft of torque. Ford and Navistar's 7.3 Power Stroke was a technological powerhouse. It had Hydraulically Activated, Electronic Unit Injectors (HEUI) for direct fuel injection; a Garrett turbocharger; and a fluid-to-fluid oil cooler. Later versions received an air-to-air intercooler and a wastegate on the turbocharger. More importantly, the 7.3 Power Stroke was a paragon of high-quality construction. It had forged connecting rods, cast iron cylinder heads, a steel crankshaft, and cast aluminum pistons. Meanwhile, the overhead valve design with two valves per cylinder contributed to the simplicity of the construction — traits that enabled it to run problem-free with minimal issues given timely maintenance. However, the diesel landscape was turning a new leaf by 2000. Competitors like the Cummins 5.9 and General Motors Duramax LB7 were pumping out upward of 300 horsepower, and stricter emissions regulations cast a dark cloud over the 7.3 Power Stroke's legendary performance. Ford retired the 7.3 and debuted the 6.0 Power Stroke in 2003. The new engine featured exhaust gas recirculation, variable geometry turbocharging, and a next-gen fuel injection system to produce more power and torque while adhering to emissions standards.NoneGlobal Microscope Imaging Analysis Software Market Size, Share and Forecast By Key Players-Zeiss, Olympus, Image Metrology, SMCS Limited, Oxford Instrument(Imaris)Fantasy Football is all about the matchups. Even though you drafted your team with certain hopes and intentions, your weekly lineup decisions shouldn't be determined by the order you picked your players in. You need to check who your players play and make sure you've got the right guys in -- and the wrong guys out. It's too early to be absolutely sure which matchups will be easy and which ones will be tough, but we can take some educated guesses based on healthy personnel, defensive schemes, track records, and key details of offenses. The things we know can help us minimize the impact of the things we don't know. This should lead to better decisions being made. We'll go through every game and highlight the players who aren't obvious starts and sits (because you don't need to be told to start Derrick Henry ). You should feel more comfortable starting or sitting players based on the information given, and feeling comfortable with your Fantasy lineup before the games start is the best feeling in the world. More Week 17 content: Heath Cummings' Full Week 17 Projections Kansas City's offense has a lot of solid players who are deserving of playing time, but it's been Xavier Worthy who has produced the most Fantasy points (16.6 PPR per game) and landed the most touches among non-RBs (8.3 per game) over the past three weeks. Notably, Worthy's average depth of throw (ADOT) has dropped under nine yards in each of his past three games, making him an easier target closer to the line of scrimmage. That's lowered his explosive catches, but he's still a solid yards after catch threat with more red-zone and end-zone targets than (gulp) Travis Kelce. He'll take on the same Steelers defense that struggled to keep up with shifty receiver Zay Flowers last Saturday and DeVonta Smith in Week 15. You should be encouraged by Worthy's season-long target per route run rate of 24.2% against man-to-man coverage, which the Steelers defense has leaned on in seven games since their bye week. I wouldn't be shy about leaning on Worthy as a flex play this week in any format. OBVIOUS STARTS: Travis Kelce STARTS: Patrick Mahomes (low-end starter), George Pickens (No. 2 WR), Chiefs DST FLEX: Xavier Worthy , Jaylen Warren (PPR), Najee Harris SITS: Russell Wilson , Marquise Brown , DeAndre Hopkins , Pat Freiermuth , Isiah Pacheco , Kareem Hunt , Samaje Perine , Calvin Austin, Steelers DST Losing veteran guard Shaq Mason is another significant issue for a Texans O-line that has been a weakness for the team all season. It's even impacted how C.J. Stroud operates -- last year he was defiant against pass rushes, this year he's a little more tentative and it shows in his 47% completion rate and 74.9 QB rating when he's pressured. Mason's absence will also be felt in the run game, which has been a mess for the Texans ever since Joe Mixon hurt his ankle. This is just in time for a nightmarish matchup against the Ravens, who boast a 3.5 rushing average against and 5.7% rate of allowing 10-plus rush yard plays on the season. They also have a ferocious pass rush that's landed 19 sacks on a 37.9% pass rush pressure rate in its past six games. Tack on Tank Dell's season-ending injury, and it's hard to be really excited for any Texans players outside of Nico Collins. OBVIOUS STARTS: Lamar Jackson , Derrick Henry , Nico Collins STARTS: Joe Mixon (No. 2 RB), Mark Andrews , Ravens DST, Dalton Schultz (low-end starter) FLEX: Zay Flowers , Rashod Bateman SITS: C.J. Stroud , John Metchie, Isaiah Likely , Robert Woods , Dare Ogunbowale , newest Texan Diontae Johnson , Texans DST Obviously Caleb Williams' Week 16 stats were phenomenal (334-2-0 with 34 rush yards), but the film showed a quarterback developing in the right direction, albeit still streaky and still slow to get the chains moving. Williams struggled through much of the first half but got things cooking late in the second with perfect back-to-back deep passes to D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen that covered 70 yards with a touchdown. He then flamed the Lions in the third quarter for another touchdown with some great throws under pressure to Allen and Rome Odunze. Yes, he did struggle in the fourth quarter but a lot of it could be chalked up to poor play design and not individual issues like accuracy or decision-making. Williams can and will develop into a good passer once given a better play designer and an upgraded offensive line. Keenan Allen has to stay in Chicago, too -- that man can still play. Seattle's pass rush hasn't been anything special over their past four games including a zero-sack game versus Green Bay where they blitzed 35.7% of their plays and even had a near-50% pass rush pressure rate. Chicago's passing game should thrive in Week 17.

Cincinnati's run defense has been bludgeoned by opponents for five straight weeks, but it's been the Steelers, Cowboys and Browns who found the most success running between the tackles; each averaged at least 5.2 yards per carry on those runs with a rate north of 10% on runs of 10-plus yards. All of Denver's backs have a season-long average of at least four yards per carry on between-the-tackle runs, but in the past five weeks it's been Jaleel McLaughlin dusting both Javonte Williams and Audric Estime on those plays with a 4.7 average to their sub-4.0s. If you had to start a Broncos running back, which is most definitely risky business, in non-PPR I would lean on McLaughlin with the hope he'd see the most opportunities to attack the Bengals' biggest weakness in the run game. In full PPR I'd chance it with Williams since he seems to have a lock on third-down work. OBVIOUS STARTS: Joe Burrow , Chase Brown , Ja'Marr Chase , Tee Higgins STARTS: Bo Nix , Courtland Sutton (No. 1 WR) SITS: Jaleel McLaughlin (desperation non-PPR RB), Javonte Williams (desperation PPR RB), Audric Estime , Adam Trautman , Andrei Iosivas , Devaughn Vele , Mike Gesicki , Bengals DST (borderline DST), Broncos DST OBVIOUS STARTS: Kyren Williams , Puka Nacua , Cooper Kupp (No. 2 WR), Trey McBride STARTS: Rams DST SITS: Kyler Murray , Matthew Stafford , Marvin Harrison Jr. , Michael Carter , Demarcus Robinson , Michael Wilson , Tyler Higbee , Cardinals DST There were literally plays last week where Garrett Wilson had blown past his coverage and put his arm up to call for the football and Aaron Rodgers went in another direction. The talent is definitely there, but he's running too many routes downfield while his quarterback typically opts for shorter, closer targets, usually to Davante Adams. Since Adams' arrival, Wilson has averaged 2.22 targets per game fewer than Adams with essentially half as many red-zone and end-zone targets. I don't think Wilson talking about his diminished role with the media will help him out here -- Rodgers has a clear affinity for throwing to Adams, which, candidly, has worked out. Wilson hasn't out-touched Adams since Week 9 and has one game in his past six with over 15 PPR points. The glimmer of hope is that the Bills force the Jets into a pass-heavy game script that allows Adams and Wilson to see a lot of targets. Four of the past six teams to play Buffalo threw at least 33 passes, each of them tossing two touchdowns and three QBs getting over 250 yards. Six receivers have posted at least 15 PPR points against Buffalo in their past six games with three -- Kayshon Boutte, Alec Pierce and Xavier Worthy -- predominantly outside receivers like Wilson. Each of them caught a pass of at least 31 yards and each had a score, two things Wilson hasn't done much of lately. OBVIOUS STARTS: Josh Allen , Davante Adams STARTS: James Cook , Breece Hall (No. 2 RB), Garrett Wilson (No. 2 WR), Bills DST FLEX: Khalil Shakir SITS: Aaron Rodgers , Dalton Kincaid (borderline No. 1/No. 2 TE), Tyler Conklin , Allen Lazard , Ty Johnson (desperation PPR RB), Keon Coleman , Amari Cooper , Braelon Allen , Mack Hollins , Jets DST Chig Okonkwo is tops among tight ends in PPR points per game (16.5), total targets (21) and target share (30%) in his past two games. Some less appealing stats: He's averaging just 8.2 yards per catch, his ADOT is 6.05 yards (all but five targets have been within five yards of the line of scrimmage), he has one explosive play, and he has zero red-zone or end-zone targets in those past two, mostly with Mason Rudolph. That's somewhat concerning, as is the possibility that the Titans play with a lead this week instead of playing from behind which they've done for much of the year. That's because of their matchup with the Jaguars, who are just as awful against the run (two Raiders RBs scored on them last week!) as they are the pass. Could Okonkwo do what Brenton Strange did last week and see his target volume disappear because of game scenario? It's what makes me nervous to start him, but I'm nervous to start all but nine tight ends this week, so Okonkwo is in play as a low-end starter.

No doubt the arm strength he showed in college was absolutely there against the Giants, but his mobility gave many of his plays a chance to stay alive, and several did. I especially enjoyed the timing he shared with Darnell Mooney on a number of out-route throws, and he should have had a better game if not for some drops (looking at you, Kyle Pitts). Long-term, the Falcons are in good hands and shouldn't be mocked for taking Penix with their first-round pick anymore. Short-term, Penix will face a Commanders defense that's generated at least a 40% pass rush pressure rate in three straight games with nine sacks as a result. I don't have it in my heart to start Penix but I'd be happy to go with his top pass-catchers, Mooney and Drake London, in what could end up being a decently high-scoring game. OBVIOUS STARTS: Bijan Robinson STARTS: Jayden Daniels , Terry McLaurin , Drake London , Brian Robinson Jr. , Commanders DST FLEX: Darnell Mooney SITS: Michael Penix Jr. , Olamide Zaccheaus , Zach Ertz , Kyle Pitts , Ray-Ray McCloud , Tyler Allgeier , Jeremy McNichols , Falcons DST Detroit's defensive problems were masked by their offense's awesome production and some inefficiencies in Chicago's offense last week. Even though the Niners have nothing to play for, I am reasonably certain Kyle Shanahan will put Brock Purdy (who's still chasing a huge contract) and the rest of the offense in position to take advantage of a depleted and weak defense. The Lions struggled in heavy zone coverage last week, at one point giving up 70 yards and a touchdown on two deep-ball throws. They also couldn't wrap up Caleb Williams consistently, even on a seven-man blitz. Overall Williams was sacked twice despite a crazy-high 43.5% blitz rate from the Lions. In fact the Lions have blitzed heavily in each of their past three games and have three sacks to show for it. This should encourage Fantasy managers to trust Purdy and his pass catchers in what should be a high-scoring game, even if the Niners offensive line isn't it usual stout self.

THEY may be loves of my life but I’ll never forgive the grandkids for giving me Christmas shopping anxiety. Hitherto I was blessed with a late dash-and-grab approach to buying presents, leaving purchases to the last minute. Every shop assistant’s dream is the Christmas Eve late afternoon desperate bloke fresh from the pub. Occasionally, that was me and no Tiny Tim of mine ever woke on the 25th to an empty stocking. It’s a myth Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas but curbing carnal and sensual delights was a Puritan goal, replacing drunkenness and debauchery with fasting and prayer. Unremarkably, this proved unpopular with the great unwashed during an otherwise regrettably short-lived Republic of 1649-60. And who could blame common folk brightening miserable winters – thicker gruel and snogging toothless neighbours under mistletoe a more uplifting celebration than hunger and boredom. Yet in the unlikely event I was to be Cromwell’s belated successor as Lord Protector, top of my decrees would have been banning decorations, festive pub menus, playing Slade’s Merry Xmas Everybody, John Lewis saccharine adverts and, particularly, shopping until the start of December. Until this year, I started seeing and acquiring gifts for Little L and Canny C from September. Santa Granda’s first inkling of change was popping into an old-school Whitley Bay hardware store and walking out with a present for Little L. I won’t spoil his surprise by disclosing what was bought but the pressies will thrill him and altered my approach, probably forever. Christmas really is about kids and grandkids, and the thought of Little L and Canny C smiling as they excitedly unwrap their gifts left under the tree is heartwarming. No way is some bearded, tubby, red-suited stranger sneaking down a chimney stealing credit for the fruits of my changed life.Donald Trump was once a crypto sceptic. Now his re-election has sent the volatile price of Bitcoin sky-high. These days, he's known as 37244-510. Not quite as catchy as SBF, the three-letter acronym mentioned in hushed tones back when he was revered as the richest man in the crypto sphere. Sam Bankman-Fried once was the bold warrior in Bitcoin's battle for control of the future. He was the mop-top geek, the maths genius who threatened to upend banking and finance and change the way we thought about business. In the end, he went down for the oldest and most traditional of financier foibles, stealing money from his own clients. These days, he is best known as the nerd who presided over one of the biggest financial frauds in American history. When he was finally sentenced in March this year, Bankman-Fried was ordered to repay more than $US11 billion. Had he managed to run his firm FTX like a legitimate business instead of a cash cow for his own amusement, he'd now rank amongst the world's richest after Bitcoin finally broke through the $US100,000 barrier. Instead, he's now a resident of Metropolitan Detention Centre Brooklyn, living in a dormitory cell and reportedly working on an appeal to his 25-year sentence. Given he was Joe Biden's second biggest donor in 2020, pumping through almost $US5.2 million in campaign contributions, an appeal for a pardon wouldn't be out of the question in the government's dying days. But now there might be another source of salvation — Donald Trump and his most trusted advisor, Elon Musk, part crypto devotee, part puppeteer. When Musk's takeover for Twitter began wobbling, Bankman-Fried reportedly offered to help finance the bid with a $US5 billion loan. And Bankman-Fried wasn't a one-party backer. He carefully played both sides of the political divide, and was a big Republican donor too, but opted to do so on the quiet because he thought the press was, as he put it, "super-liberal". "I donated the same amount to both parties," in 2022. "All my Republican donations were dark," he said, referring to political donations kept off the public record. "The reason was not for regulatory reasons, it's because reporters freak the f*** out if you donate to Republicans." Mistrust of the press is a sentiment that very much aligns with incoming President Donald Trump, whose sudden conversion to cryptocurrency has driven this latest boom. Bitcoin's true value Trump, once a sceptic who dismissed Bitcoin as a "scam", was in good company as a doubter. Warren Buffet, considered the world's greatest investor, has described Bitcoin as "rat poison squared". "I've seen people do stupid things all my life and I really, I empathise with that, they're going to play the lottery, they're going to get 60c back on the dollar and state, the numbers racket is something to be avoided," . "I mean, people love the idea they're going to make more money tomorrow ... the gambling instinct is so strong." In the past month, both the head of Australia's corporate regulator Joe Longo and Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Michele Bullock have also voiced their concerns. Longo told an Australian Securities and Investment Commission annual forum that Bitcoin was a good example of "the bigger fool theory" where the goal was to simply find a buyer prepared to pay even more for a worthless asset. Bullock went further, arguing that, despite all the hype, it had no role to play in Australian society. "Don't call it an alternative currency," she said. "It's not a currency, it's not money, it's being used as some sort of asset class." "I don't understand it," she said. "But, you know, I don't really see a role for it in, certainly in the Australian economy or payments system." Devotees dismiss these criticisms, arguing Bitcoin doubters simply don't understand. But it's difficult to pinpoint any useful function Bitcoin serves. Initially, it was touted as a new means of exchange a global monetary system that would make national currencies obsolete. Bitcoin, however, is now a teenager — a geriatric in technology terms — and after 15 years, that hasn't happened, primarily because of its volatility. Why spend Bitcoin on buying something if you think it will appreciate in value? And, as a seller, why accept it as a currency if you fear it might crash? The same goes for its role as a store of wealth. It may be at record highs right now but, as this graph illustrates, it has fluctuated wildly over time in a series of booms and crashes that have undermined its ability to be a hedge against inflation and created as much poverty as it has generated wealth. Instead, it has degenerated into a tool for speculators and gamblers. Its defenders point to the role of blockchain, the unique ledger system that underpins bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and its potential for wider business applications. That may be a legitimate argument. But it doesn't justify the mania attached to cryptocurrencies. And when it comes to investment in new technology, it has been overtaken by the rush towards Artificial Intelligence and quantum computing. Ironically, for all the hype that it would make national currencies obsolete, Bitcoin itself is still valued in US dollars. And those that trade it proudly measure their gains and their wealth in good, old style fiat currencies. Less regulation — what could go wrong? Trump is now a true believer, promising in his usual overstated mode that he plans to transform America into "the crypto capital of the planet". The president-elect has even suggested creating a "bitcoin reserve" that could be used to pay off the country's $US35 trillion debt. To encourage that, Trump and Musk are pushing for regulation around the crypto industry to be loosened, with Musk going so far as to suggest that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau be junked. The president-elect, meanwhile, recently announced he would fire the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler, on day one. A noted critic of the crypto industry, Gensler decided he wouldn't hang around for the ritual humiliation and announced he would step aside the day Trump walks into the White House, leaving many to ponder whether the crypto industry's reported $100 million in Republican campaign funding would influence the decision on his replacement. Gensler blazed a trail through Wall Street in a bid to stamp out conflicts of interest and boost transparency, launching court actions against multiple crypto firms. What the incoming president has failed to grasp is that Gensler's actions have helped underwrite the latest surge in activity in cryptocurrency. In January, with tighter regulation in place, the for old style financiers including Fidelity, BlackRock and Grayscale to launch what's known as Exchange Traded Funds that invested solely in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Once approved, those funds, which ordinary investors can trade on Wall Street and on the Australian Securities Exchange, then had to load up on Bitcoin, helping drive the price higher through most of this year. Last week, Trump announced Gensler would be replaced by Paul Atkins, a noted crypto enthusiast. Unlike many of Trump's other appointments, however, Atkins is a well credentialed candidate with a background in law, years of experience in senior roles at the regulator and as a former SEC commissioner. Nevertheless, he is expected to take a less aggressive stance towards the industry and possibly review many of his predecessor's court actions. Endorsing Atkins on his own social media outlet, Trump said: "He also recognises that digital assets and other innovations are crucial to making America greater than ever before." But there is a growing disconnect between Trump's stance on cryptocurrencies and his view of the US dollar. The greenback is considered the global reserve currency. Everything else is priced against it, be it commodities like oil and metals or other currencies. That's something Trump wants to maintain, as a symbol of American dominance even as he wants to retreat back into isolationism. Just last week, he threatened to penalise any country planning to shift away from US dollar dominance, aiming specifically at the so-called BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) nations. "We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty US Dollar or, they will face 100 per cent Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful US Economy," Trump thundered on Truth Social. But it was the debasement of the US dollar, through money printing, huge and ongoing deficits and soaring national debt — now approaching $US35 trillion — that led to the creation of Bitcoin in 2009. Those deficits, and America's national debt, are expected to explode under Trump's high protection and low taxing policies, endangering his vision for "The Mighty US Dollar". Investing in Bitcoin as a national reserve to repay that debt will only further undermine the greenback. Crypto tonight? It's impossible to understate the scale of the Bitcoin frenzy which, once again, is beginning to feed on itself. The devotees now feel vindicated. The sceptics have been left bemused. Back in September, Bitcoin was trading just north of $US53,000 a token. A fortnight ago, it punched through $US100,000, sending waves of jubilation through the legions of investors, many of whom were ambushed by the downturn two years ago when it plunged to just $US16,000. Last month, more than $US10 trillion worth of digital assets changed hands on centralised exchanges as bitcoin and its many imitators encroached even further into mainstream finance. The latest boom fortuitously has coincided with the release of Changpeng Zhao — the brains behind the world's now biggest crypto exchange Binance — from a federal prison in California. Incarcerated for four months after pleading guilty to breaching anti-money laundering rules, the man known simply as CZ once was Bankman-Fried's great rival and ultimately the architect of his downfall. But the pair were not just business rivals. Prior to the implosion of Bankman-Fried's FTX empire, they frequently clashed on the subject of regulation. Born out of a desire to overthrow the existing monetary system during the depths of the Global Financial Crisis in 2009, Bitcoin's renegade mindset sat well with Zhao even after most countries declared his Binance empire off limits and outside the law. Bankman-Fried figured the opposite; that for Bitcoin and the crypto industry to truly deliver, it needed to be accepted by the mainstream and be properly regulated. Ironically, it was his FTX that bit the dust while Zhao's Binance went on to global dominance. While both this year were jailbirds, their financial fortunes headed in opposite directions. Zhao has not only maintained his fabulous wealth, he's expanded it, amassing one of the biggest fortunes on the planet. During the past year, according to data analysis from Newsworthyheadlines.com, Zhao's wealth grew more than six-fold to $US63 billion, mostly as a result of the Trump driven boom. Even his stay in prison was profitable. As the rally tentatively took hold midway through the year, Zhao added around $US3 billion to his fortune, or an estimated $US25.6 million each day he was behind bars. Who said crime doesn't pay? The great meme coin snowjob Then there are meme coins, which have been around almost as long as Bitcoin but have no intrinsic value, earn no income and pay no dividends. And they proliferate. Haliey Welch attracted fame midway through the year on a big night out with a girlfriend. A jovial on-camera quip about her special technique for pleasing her man was uploaded to social media and, in an instant, the Tennessee 20-something became a sensation. Now, she's attracted a fortune. A fortnight ago, the so-called Hawk Tuah Girl launched a meme coin, a type of crypto currency that doesn't even pretend to do anything useful. Within hours of the launch, the value of Hawk coin had soared to almost $500 million before suddenly losing 90 per cent of its value, wiping out most of its investors in a single day. Welch has since gone to ground. Hawke coin has been criticised as a "pump and dump" or a "rug pull" where founders spruik the value to gullible buyers and create a buying frenzy before offloading everything. The most famous meme coin is Dogecoin, created by two software engineers a decade ago, for the sole purpose of ridiculing Bitcoin. To their utter dismay, it is still around and has been a favoured trading option for Elon Musk, whose new job in the Trump administration will be to jointly head DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency). Driven entirely by social media hype, meme coins routinely soar and crash and, in an unregulated environment, are ripe for manipulation. Despair to jubilation in just 24 months "Remember when cryptocurrency was so heavily and onerously regulated, so unnecessarily scrutinised by the authorities that the whole market crashed in spectacular fashion as one tightly regulated crypto platform after another collapsed into oblivion?" "Yeah, me neither. Because that's not quite how it went, is it?" Jemima Kelly, a columnist for the Financial Times posed this question in a piece late last month that injected a dose of reality into the current debate over Bitcoin and regulation. When the market for cryptocurrencies crashed two years ago, what was exposed in almost every case was a web of deceit and incompetence, aided by loose or non-existent regulatory oversight. Operating outside the finance industry mainstream, consumer protection and even licensing became an ad-hoc affair and, when the inevitable crash occurred, it hit hard. Two years ago, they were falling like dominoes. FTX, Celsius, Tether, BlockFi, Voyager Digital, Terraform, Luna. They all hit the skids, torching countless billions of dollars of investor cash. The crashes were replicated around the world. Here in Australia, as funds and digital tokens disappeared. In almost every case, the story was the same. Investor funds were plundered for other purposes, often plugging holes in other parts of the leaky structure. Often, they were used for personal largesse. Despite the cloak of rebellion under which many hide, those running these outfits operate in much the same fashion as financiers and banks have done for thousands of years. They clip the ticket on transactions, charge fees for storage and gouge commissions at every opportunity. Both Bankman-Fried and Zhao created their empires in this very traditional manner. Financial institutions, whether they be traditional banks or cryptocurrency exchanges, thrive during periods of exuberance. Commissions on trillions of dollars of transactions adds up pretty quickly into handsome fees and huge profits. Not surprisingly, there has been a sudden roar from those very crypto ticket clippers, some predicting Bitcoin is now on a trajectory to push past the $US1 million mark. The not so subtle message is: "Better get on board now." Can crypto overtake gold? Mike Mangan discovered gold around the turn of the century. Rattled by the dotcom bust and concerned by America's plunge into money printing to boost its economy, the Sydney based former investment banker, stock analyst and funds manager turned to investing in the oldest form of wealth or, more specifically, those who mine it. Gold, he explains, is a hard asset, a relatively unique metal because of its resistance to corrosion, it's malleable nature, visual attractiveness and its scarcity, all of which contributed to its use in coinage and jewellery, dating back thousands of years. "It has a history, and history and reputation are so important when it comes to finance," he says. That goes a long way to explaining why gold-trading dwarfs the Bitcoin market. But Mangan empathises with Bitcoin devotees, many of whom were left disillusioned by the near collapse of capitalism during the Global Financial Crisis, and their search for an alternative. "I wouldn't underestimate the cognitive dissonance of people wanting to find an alternative in a system they believe is going to hell,'' he explains. The rise of Bitcoin, he says, "reflects a loss of confidence in the monetary system". While global currencies no longer trade on a gold standard, most countries, and particularly China in recent years, continue to amass gold as a store of wealth. America hasn't added to its gold reserves at Fort Knox for years but it holds the biggest reserves of any country by a long shot. Like Bitcoin, gold too has punched through to record levels in recent months. Unlike Bitcoin, it's rise has been steady during the past 20 years, providing a perfect hedge to the degrading of the US dollar and to inflation, as this graph in US dollars shows. It also doesn't easily evaporate, as cryptocurrencies often do. And if in any future global conflict power systems and electricity grids are fried, the ability to retrieve a virtual asset — one that doesn't physically exist — will be compromised. "Cryptocurrencies were supposed to be all about protecting yourself from a world in chaos," Mangan says. "But if the world does descend into the kind of dystopian future many fear, what happens to your Bitcoin?"
