Falcons add Rashaan Evans to practice squadGREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs left his team’s game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday because of a concussion. Doubs’ injury came on a third-quarter play in the end zone that resulted in a pass interference penalty against San Francisco’s Renardo Green. Doubs stayed down briefly after the play, then got up slowly before heading to the sideline. He went into the injury tent before walking to the locker room. The Packers then announced Doubs was out for the rest of the game because of a concussion. He had three catches for 54 yards before leaving. San Francisco defensive tackle Jordan Elliott left in the first half of the game to get evaluated for a concussion and was ruled out at halftime. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL Steve Megargee, The Associated Press
Mumbai: Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh, whose streaming documentary ‘Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous’ has been receiving a lot of positive response, is a man in love. The rapper recently sat for a chat with comedians Tanmay Bhat, Rohan Joshi and Aaditya Kulshreshth. During the promotional video, Honey Singh said that he is madly in love. He said, “I’ve done a lot of crazy things. I’ve done extreme things. I mean, I’ve done anything extreme in my life. I’m in a relationship”. He then shared that finding love while being surrounded by glamour is very tricky because it becomes difficult to gauge if the person has fallen in love with him as a person or it’s his aura that they have fallen for. He went on to share that he sometimes did not tell who he really is to the girls that he got romantically involved with, and would not tell them his real name. It got to a point where his team would get confused as to what name should be used on his boarding pass. However, the rapper confirmed that he is in a relationship. Meanwhile, his Netflix documentary chronicles his meteoric rise to fame to his sudden disappearance and subsequent struggles, and his comeback to mainstream music. Earlier, Honey shared that although he hasn’t spoken with Karan in a long time, he used to speak with his manager, and mistook him to be Karan for straight two years until he discussed the technicalities of a song. He said on ‘The Bombay Journey’, “I haven’t talked to Karan. I used to talk to him on the phone for a long time then I came to know later that he is not Karan, he is his manager. I was like, ‘what’s going on?’ I kept talking to him for 2 years. He even sent me a song. And you won’t believe it, he wrote the song ‘Mexico’ for me, and he wanted me to sing it. So I said, ‘Yes, the song is good’”. “I told him that, ‘There are some things I want to discuss with you. I want to make some changes’. Then the guy refused to speak on the technical issue. Then I said, why isn’t he speaking about technical things. Then after a long time, he told me that ‘I am Karan’s manager. Sorry. I shouldn’t have said that’. I told him, ‘What will you do by saying sorry? What is this?’ Then I talked to a few days ago in person when Alfaz made me talk to him. I asked Alfaz if he is actually Karan, and he assured me that he is in fact Karan Aujla”, he added.In the second edition of the SMF Fest Confidence Index, published yesterday, biodiesel topped the poll, pushing the 2023 winner, LNG-biomethane, into second place, while LNG e-methane retained its third position in the rankings. Apart from the three frontrunners, confidence levels appear to have dropped across the candidate fuels year on year. Confidence in green methanol has fallen from 53.5% in 2023 to 40.6% and green hydrogen, from 42.7% to 29.2%. Moving to the bottom of the Index, confidence in blue hydrogen dipped from 34.5% to 18.8%, and grey hydrogen, from 33.2% to 13.9%. In 2023, confidence levels in methanol-fuelled shipping were very measured, in spite of a clear upswing in orders that year for methanol fuelled-vessels. However, last year’s confidence levels in this fuel now look to have been quite bullish in comparison with 2024 voting, as green methanol has retreated from the ‘quite confident’ category into the ‘little confidence’ zone. Among the green fuel variants, green ammonia moved up the pecking order, swapping places with green hydrogen, while there was little movement year-on-year between the blue fuel variants. For the grey fuel variants, methanol retained its 2023 position, ammonia moved up two places from the bottom of the Index, while grey hydrogen dropped into last position. The first SMF Confidence Index was launched at the inaugural Sustainable Marine Fuel Fest held in Valencia in November 2023, with the intention to provide a ‘moment in time’ indication of how confident shipping and marine fuel industry stakeholders are that the groundwork required for maritime’s energy transition, including its infrastructure and technology, is in place. It is not a forecast of how likely it is that the shipping sector can meet the IMO’s decarbonisation end of decade milestones, out to 2050, but it does fill an information/perception gap that currently exists in the sector. The Index charts and compares changes in industry confidence in shipping’s energy transition according to four key criteria (Technology, Infrastructure, Commercial and Environmental Credentials) and across five deep sea vessel segments: containerships, dry cargo, gas carriers, passenger vessels and tankers. These criteria/vessel segments are considered in relation to the use of 12 marine fuels (including grey/blue/green variants). The new edition of the Index shows that the dial on shipping’s decarbonisation has moved in some important respects as industry stakeholders are become more informed about the energy transition process and its challenges. There is increased awareness of the environmental credentials of the alternative fuel options, and the conversation is moving on to focus on the commercial landscape for these energy sources, in terms of their availability, scalability and cost. Voting for the 2024 Confidence Index and discussing its outcomes was a key element of this year’s ‘by industry for industry’ Sustainable Marine Fuel Fest (SMF Fest) which took place in Porto in October. The framework for the Index was developed by the event’s industry partners who represent companies that that are proactive in delivering shipping’s fuel transition. The industry partners involved in the 2024 event were Bureau Veritas, GTT, Hapag-Lloyd, SGMF and Wärtsilä. The participants in this year’s Fest represented a wide range of stakeholders across the marine fuel value chain. The results of the 2024 Confidence Index can be seen as a fair reflection of the tenor and tone of the many conversations in Porto. There was close discussion about the production processes for the new fuels in shipping’s energy mix as well as the availability (and cost) of green variants of these fuels. ‘No-one will pay more than they have to for the new fuels’ was an oft-repeated phrase in conversations. Some participants also questioned the near- and longer-term future of the blue iterations of ammonia, hydrogen and methanol. A lack of demand signals for fuels from shipowners was a key topic and a strong element of ‘uncertainty’ among different stakeholders was perceived as stymying progress in the development of a robust, global fuel supply infrastructure. Shipowners are unsure about future fuel choices because they are not getting clear messaging from charterers about fuel preferences and routing schedules. Owners may also be ‘buying time’ and opting for the cheapest fuel solutions while they decide on future fuel strategies, but there was consensus in the room that those owners and operators who can pass through fuel costs are better placed to take earlier and bolder decisions on new fuels. Concern was also expressed over the future volumes of low and zero carbon fuels, particularly over the time taken for final investment decisions on production projects to be taken and the fact that only a small percentage of such projects stay the course and move to commercialisation. The increasingly complex landscape of regulation and legislation also loomed large in discussions, particularly in relation to compliance obligations and cost implications, with the consensus being: We don’t need any more regulation – work with what we have. A key takeaway from SMF Fest 2024 was that decision-making on future fuel strategies remains slow and cautious – while there are some (large and small) first movers at this stage in the energy transition, there are still not many ‘close followers’. The Confidence Index will be fully updated at the next SMF Fest which will take place in autumn 2025. Source: SMF Confidence Index

(Reuters) : Nicaragua’s parliament on Monday approved a law that seeks to nullify foreign sanctions issued against President Daniel Ortega’s vice president and wife Rosario Murillo, several of their children and some 50 high-ranking state officials. The legislation, although unable to curb the impact of sanctions outside the country, aims to nullify their reach within Nicaragua by forcing local banks and other institutions to ignore them. It was unanimously approved by all 91 pro-government deputies in the Central American nation’s ruling Sandinista Front-dominated parliament after Ortega sent the bill to parliament last week. Walmaro Gutierrez, a deputy from Ortega’s Sandinista party who has been sanctioned by the United States since 2020, said the law enshrines the country’s sovereignty and independence. “We are tired of having the sword of Damocles always hanging over us or a boot always pressing against our neck,” he said. The law will become effective once it is published in the official gazette, which could happen within days. The “law to protect Nicaraguans from foreign sanctions and aggressions” declares sanctions imposed by foreign states, groups of states and organizations that violate international law as “null and void without any legal effect.” While Ortega cannot prevent foreign entities from issuing sanctions, the legislation seeks to block their impact within Nicaragua and puts pressure on bankers, who could face severe repercussions. It rules that no person or entity can suspend goods or services to sanctioned individuals or companies or they could face fines, a temporary or definitive suspension of operations and potential imprisonment under treason charges. Treason is often punished by around 10 years in prison, but prominent government critic Bishop Rolando Alvarez was stripped of his citizenship and sentenced to 26 years last year. He was later expelled to the Vatican. The United States, European Union, Switzerland and Canada have sanctioned some 50 top officials, including Murillo, some of Ortega’s children and police and army chiefs, accusing them of serious human rights violations during the repression of anti-government protests in 2018. Ortega has since cracked down on dissent. More than 200 political prisoners were freed last year and expelled to the United States, including five jailed former presidential hopefuls. Government critics warned the legislation pins Nicaragua’s financial system “up against the wall” as banks would be obliged to ignore foreign sanctions and reactivate accounts and transactions for those sanctioned. The vote comes days after Nicaragua’s parliament approved a constitutional reform that expands Ortega and Murillo’s influence, granting more power over the media, naming them co-presidents and increasing the presidential term to six years.This month marks the 75th anniversary of the adoption by the Constituent Assembly of the draft Constitution of India, on November 26, 1949. The Union government has announced that it intends to commemorate this momentous occasion with a special joint sitting of Parliament. There are bound to be several self-congratulatory speeches, from all sides of our fractious political divide. But the speech that should haunt us all is that of the principal draftsman of the Constitution, B.R. Ambedkar, on the eve of the Constitution’s adoption. On November 25, 1949, in his magisterial summation of the work of the Drafting Committee he chaired, and before commending its work to the Assembly, he pointedly observed: “however good a Constitution may be, it is sure to turn out bad because those who are called to work it, happen to be a bad lot. However bad a Constitution may be, it may turn out to be good if those who are called to work it, happen to be a good lot.” The working of the Constitution, Dr. Ambedkar pointed out, depended on how the people and the political parties applied it. The drafters had made provision for relatively easy amendment, so as to permit the document to keep up with the needs of the times. But the rest depended on the way successive generations of its custodians chose to implement it. The lacunae that B.R. Ambedkar identified Dr. Ambedkar highlighted the fact that “there is complete absence of two things in Indian society” — equality and fraternity. “On the 26th of January 1950,” he declared, “we are going to enter into a life of contradictions. In politics we will have equality and in social and economic life we will have inequality. In politics we will be recognizing the principle of one man one vote and one vote one value. In our social and economic life, we shall, by reason of our social and economic structure, continue to deny the principle of one man one value. How long shall we continue to live this life of contradictions? How long shall we continue to deny equality in our social and economic life?” In calling for a social and not merely political democracy to emerge from the Constitution, Dr. Ambedkar stressed the absence of fraternity as the second major ingredient that was missing in India. “Fraternity means a sense of common brotherhood of all Indians — of Indians being one people. It is the principle which gives unity and solidarity to social life.” But thanks to the caste system — the entire structure of caste, he averred, was ‘anti-national’ — religious divisions and the absence of a common sense of nationhood among some Indians, fraternity had not yet been achieved. But it was indispensable, since liberty, equality and fraternity were all intertwined and could not flourish independently of one another. “Without equality,” he pointed out, “liberty would produce the supremacy of the few over the many. Equality without liberty would kill individual initiative. Without fraternity, liberty would produce the supremacy of the few over the many. Without fraternity, liberty and equality could not become a natural course of things. It would require a constable to enforce them.” What has changed Today, 75 years later, it is well worth asking what progress we have made to achieve the aims of the Constitution’s drafters, and in particular to fill the lacunae that Dr. Ambedkar identified. Equality has advanced, no doubt, with the abolition of untouchability being accompanied by the world’s oldest and farthest-reaching affirmative action programme, in the form of reservations, initially for Scheduled Castes and then for the Other Backward Classes (OBC). These reservations, which were initially intended to be temporary, have now been entrenched in our system and may be said to be politically unchallengeable. But the task of promoting social and economic equality, which Dr. Ambedkar pointed to, is far from complete. The clamour for further opportunities for those who believe that Indian society continues to deny them the equality of outcomes that the numbers warrant, continues to roil our politics. The escalating demand for a caste census is bound to have further implications for the evolution of India’s constitutional practice. As for fraternity, the mobilisation of votes in our contentious democracy in the name of caste, creed, region and language have ensured that the social and psychological sense of oneness that Dr. Ambedkar spoke about, is still, at best, a work in progress. But there is no doubt that the sense of nationhood that he felt had not yet come into existence has now become embedded across the country. One only needs to look at the crowds at a cricket match involving the Indian team, or the national outrage and mourning after an international conflict such as the Kargil war (1999) or the Galwan incident (2020), to be aware that there is a strong sense of nationhood despite the persistence of local or sectarian identities. Yet, by reifying caste reservations, India has promoted equality but arguably undermined fraternity. Fraternity had a special place in Dr. Ambedkar’s vision; the word was, in many ways, his distinctive contribution to India’s constitutional discourse. It also had an economic dimension, with the implicit idea that the assets of the better-off would be used to uplift the untouchables and other unfortunates. Fraternity would both result from and lead to the erosion of social and caste hierarchies. But, as the sociologist Dipankar Gupta has argued, the extension of reservations to the OBCs saw caste as ‘an important political resource to be plumbed in perpetuity’. Professor Gupta avers that this ‘is not in the spirit of enlarging fraternity, as the Ambedkar proposals are’; while Dr. Ambedkar’s ultimate aim was the annihilation of caste from Indian society, for Mandal, caste was not to be “removed”, but to be “represented”.’ It entrenched caste rather than eliminating it from public life. Highs and worrying lows This debate may well go on. Still, we can be grateful that the ascent to power of the very elements of Indian politics who had initially rejected the Constitution has not resulted in its abandonment. There is a certain irony to a Bharatiya Janata Party government celebrating a document that its forebears in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the Jana Sangh had found “un-Indian” and devoid of soul. That soul has evolved over 75 years and 106 amendments, and the Constitution still thrives. But the hollowing out of many of the institutions created by the Constitution, the diminishing of Parliament, pressures on the judiciary and the undermining of the democratic spirit — leading to the V-Dem Institute labelling India as an “electoral autocracy”, policed by the “constable” Dr. Ambedkar warned against — mean that much still remains to be done by its custodians. “Independence,” Dr. Ambedkar said in concluding his memorable speech, “is no doubt a matter of joy. But let us not forget that this independence has thrown on us great responsibilities. By independence, we have lost the excuse of blaming the British for anything going wrong. If hereafter things go wrong, we will have nobody to blame except ourselves.” Seventy-five years later, let us vow to the reduce the number of things we need to blame ourselves for — and let the Constitution show us the way.

Collingwood will head into next season with 10 players on their list over 30 – two more than any other team, and with Scott Pendlebury leading the age bracket at 37. When the Pies won the flag in 2023, the team contained eight players over 30; the 2024 premiership Lions had six players aged above 30 and Geelong defied the critics to win the flag in 2022 with seven players aged above 30. The ultra-consistent Magpie Jack Crisp shows no signs of slowing down as he charges into his 30s. Credit: AFL Photos via Getty Images But three of this year’s preliminary finalists – Geelong, the Lions and the Sydney – are the only other teams to have more than six players aged above 30 on their list. Premiership midfielder Jack Crisp, one of the 10 over-30s in Collingwood’s team, says age is just a number. At 31, the dual best and fairest winner is the ninth-oldest player on the Magpies list as the club goes all in with their veterans to win next year’s flag after injury and form derailed this year’s campaign. Though he’s over 30, Crisp is hardly a concern. He has not missed a game in 10 seasons at the Magpies to draw his consecutive games tally to 237. He is now just seven games shy of the league record, held by Melbourne legend Jim Stynes who played 244 consecutive games from 1987-1998. He finished fourth in the club best and fairest in 2024 and could break Stynes’ record against Geelong in round eight. The midfielder was speaking at Kingston Heath, where he played on Sunday ahead of the Australian Open that starts on Thursday. “Times have changed now. Blokes are really professional and look after their body and if they can keep playing at the high level, why do they have to retire?” Crisp said. It’s the question the Magpies have had to ponder as they chased Port Adelaide’s All-Australian defender Dan Houston in the trade period, giving up a first-round pick from this year and the next year in the process.CONWAY, S.C.

Pictures showed the Dungeness lifeboat bringing a number of people, thought to have been picked up from a small boat in the Channel, into the port at Dover. The latest arrivals follow crossings made on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and December 27 – the first time since 2018 small boats have made the journey on all of those dates. Official Government figures show 305 people arrived in the UK via small boat on Friday, bringing the total for the week to 1,163. The 407 arrivals on December 26 meant more than 150,000 people had made the crossing from France since records began on January 1 2018, prompting a political blame game over responsibility for the numbers. A Home Office source sought to blame the previous government, saying they had left “an appalling legacy of broken border security”, while Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp blamed Labour’s decision to scrap the Tories’ Rwanda scheme. After Saturday’s update to the figures, Mr Philp said the numbers represented “Labour’s appalling failure” and were “an insult to the British people”. He said: “In 2023, Conservatives cut the numbers crossing the channel by a third. But now, it’s all moving the other way. “These rising numbers are the predictable outcome of Starmer scrapping many Conservative measures to tackle this issue, like scrapping the Rwanda deterrent before it even started. We know from the experience in Australia that a deterrent would have stopped the boats if it had been allowed to start as planned in late July. “The British people deserve better than a Government that can’t, or won’t, deal with illegal channel crossings.” Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has put international co-operation with law enforcement agencies in Europe at the heart of his bid to cut the number of arrivals, having promised to “smash the gangs” smuggling people across the Channel during this year’s election. Some 22,629 people have arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel since Sir Keir became Prime Minister in July, up 25% on the same period in 2023 but down 31% on the record year of 2022. So far this year, 36,204 migrants have arrived in the UK on small boats, provisional Home Office figures show. This is up 23% on this time last year, but down 21% on 2022. Prior to the election, crossings in 2024 were up 19% compared to the same period in 2023.
