As the world continues to grapple with the economic fallout from the ongoing health crisis, governments and central banks have been under pressure to implement measures to support recovery efforts. The first round of stimulus policies provided much-needed relief to many, but as the situation remains uncertain, there is growing consensus that additional support will be necessary.The term "moderate accommodation" refers to a monetary policy approach that balances the need for economic stimulus with concerns about inflation and financial stability. It implies a gradual and cautious adjustment of policy settings to support economic growth while keeping a vigilant eye on potential risks and imbalances.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch made a round of administrative appointments Thursday, naming new heads to the department’s public information and technology bureaus. Tisch named Delaney Kempner as the new Deputy Commissioner of Public Information, replacing controversial top spokesman Tarik Sheppard . Kempner has spent the last four years as director of communications for New York State Attorney General Letitia James. Kempner will not start until Jan. 13. In the interim, Assistant Commissioner Carlos Nieves will serve as acting DCPI, officials said. Sheppard will be put back in uniform and assigned a leadership role in the department, law enforcement sources said. Other appointments include Kristine Ryan as Deputy Commissioner of Management and Budget — marking the second time she has been in this role — and Yisroel Hecht as the department’s new Deputy Commissioner of Information Technology. Hecht is currently serving as Deputy Commissioner of Infrastructure Management for the New York City Office of Technology and Innovation. Tisch named Alex Crohn as Deputy Commissioner of Strategic Initiatives and Steven Harte as Deputy Commissioner of Support Services. “This group of skilled and experienced leaders will answer the public call to transform NYPD technology, modernize our fleet, and elevate the department’s voice to make Courtesy, Professionalism, and Respect central to our communication and interaction with the people we serve,” Commissioner Tisch said Thursday. “New Yorkers should have every confidence that these appointments make their police department stronger, our service better, and our city safer.” In one of his last acts as DCPI, Sheppard attended a luncheon at police headquarters for local media Thursday, where he thanked the press and his staff for getting out important information and sharing the NYPD’s story with the public. He pointed to the arrest of accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione as an example of how DCPI and the press worked together to distribute images of the gunman, which ultimately led to his arrest. Sheppard was considered one of the most visual, outspoken, and sometimes volatile public information commissioners in the department’s recent history He was often front and center at press conferences and was seen wearing a bullet-resistant vest at high-profile operations such as when the NYPD cleared the Columbia University campus of protesters. He also defended NYPD executives’ controversial use of social media to blast reporters and legislators they disagree with. During the New York Marathon last month, while he was temporarily reassigned as former Interim Police Commissioner Thomas Donlan’s Chief of Staff, Sheppard got into a public shouting match with the NYPD’s top cop . Nearby NYPD officers had to separate the two men, witnesses said. Tisch was sworn in as NYPD commissioner on Nov. 25. One of her first acts in office was to name longtime aide Ryan Merola, who had worked with her at the Department of Sanitation and other agencies, as her chief of staff .
Assam Cabinet approves revitalization of BVFCLAhead of National Assembly sessions on the pending Tax Reforms Bills before both chambers of Parliament, a prominent federal lawmaker from Kano state, Honourable Abdulmumin Jibrin, has said neither the Northern Elders Forum nor the Arewa Consultative Forum would dictate the position of the lawmakers from the region. Honourable Jibrin who incidentally is the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Housing and Habitat made the declaration on Sunday night while speaking on a Channels TV live monitored Politics Today. Checks revealed that aside from the opposition from the NEF, the Forum of 19 governors from the North has equally vowed to reject the Tax Reforms Bills. Honourable Jibrin maintained that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration meant well for the region and the proposed Bills not inimical to the north economic interest. He said:” I ‘have never had any doubt about the consideration and passage of the tax reform bills. We will pass the tax reform bills.” “For those of us who have read through the bills very thoroughly, the aggregate of their advantages far surpassed whatever perceived disadvantages perceived by anybody or part of the country. “President Tinubu is not out for a battle on the bill, just like the Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), but for understanding their objectives and goals, which are all geared towards better revenue generation and distribution for the economic survival of the country. “Yes, there may be contentious clauses in the bills, but that should not mean that they should be thrown away or not considered by the National Assembly. “Since the bills are already with us, the onus lies with both chambers to allow them pass through the required legislative processes which would pave way for amendment of any contentious clauses since they are not cast in stone in the first place. “As I said a couple of days ago in a similar programme like this, many of those kicking against the bills, have not read them but are just listening to wrong narratives being churned out by some other people.” Amidst the sustained criticisms trailing the removal of fuel Subsidy and the floating of the Naira, the lawmaker insisted that the economic policies of the present administration along with the controversial tax reforms will transform the Nigeria economy despite the hardships and pains being experienced by Nigerians now. “President Tinubu to me, is giving his today for Nigerians’ tomorrow through the courageous and long-term result-oriented reforms being carried out now “, he stressed.

(AP) — The Miami Dolphins were ready to deal veteran defensive tackle Calais Campbell to the Baltimore Ravens ahead of the Nov. 5 trade deadline until Mike McDaniel stepped in. “I may or may not have thrown an adult temper tantrum,” Miami’s coach said, confirming the news first reported by NFL Network Sunday morning. The Dolphins were 2-6 and had lost three straight at that point. They’d played four uninspired games without their starting quarterback, going 1-3 after Tua Tagovailoa went on injured reserve on Sept. 17 with a concussion. Campbell would have had a chance to rejoin the contending Ravens, and Miami would have received a 2026 fifth-round pick in return, NFL Network reported. McDaniel argued that Campbell was too valuable to lose. “I was happy that they brought me into the conversations,” Campbell said after Miami’s 34-15 win over the New England Patriots. “They didn’t have to say anything to me at all. We had a really good conversation about what we think about this team, where we are. We felt like we had a good shot to get back into the fight.” Added McDaniel: “I think it wasn’t like it was (GM) Chris (Grier) versus me. ... That’s the tricky thing about Chris’ job is he has to look long-term and short-term at the same time, what’s the best for the organization.” Campbell, a 17-year veteran, signed with the Dolphins after playing for Atlanta last season. Players and coaches have praised the 38-year-old’s contributions on the field and in the locker room. “There’s no one’s game I’ve come to respect more than Calais up front on the D-line,” defensive tackle Zach Sieler said, “being with him this year and just the energy, the attitude and the mindset he brings every week. It can’t be matched, and that’s the reason why he is who he is today and doing what he’s doing at 17 years.” Campbell leads the team with four sacks. With back-to-back sacks in Weeks 10 and 11, he became the eighth player 38 or older to record sacks in consecutive games since the 1970 merger. He also has nine tackles for loss, giving him at least five tackles for loss in 15 of his 17 seasons. He played for Baltimore from 2020-2022, totaling 11 sacks and 113 tackles. “I think he means a great deal to not only the defensive line room, but the entire defense as well as the entire team,” McDaniel said earlier this week. “It’s rare for a guy to get here when he did, and then be voted, with such conviction, captain. I think the way that he operates to be a pro, I think has had a substantial impact on a lot of players that hadn’t been fortunate enough to be around someone with sustained success like he’s had.” The Dolphins have won three straight games since the deadline. Miami’s defense held the Patriots scoreless until the fourth quarter on Sunday.

Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Campbell broke down the team’s pregame huddle as he has done before most games this season. He was also seen coaching up rookie linebacker Chop Robinson, who is always seeking pointers from the six-time Pro Bowler. “My job is to speak on behalf of what’s the best thing for the 2024 Dolphins,” McDaniel said. “I’m just fortunate to work in an organization where myself and the GM can be transparent and work together. “And he didn’t want to see any more adult temper tantrums.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL Advertisement AdvertisementIn the world of football, the transfer market is always a hot topic of discussion.

Title: "Guardians Deny Holding Missing Woman for 13 Years, Villagers Claim No Signs of Captivity"
WASHINGTON (AP) — A ninth U.S. telecoms firm has been confirmed to have been hacked as part of a sprawling Chinese espionage campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans, a top White House official said Friday. Biden administration officials said this month that at least eight telecommunications companies , as well as dozens of nations, had been affected by the Chinese hacking blitz known as Salt Typhoon. But Anne Neuberger, the deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technologies, told reporters Friday that a ninth victim had been identified after the administration released guidance to companies about how to hunt for Chinese culprits in their networks. The update from Neuberger is the latest development in a massive hacking operation that has alarmed national security officials, exposed cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the private sector and laid bare China's hacking sophistication. The hackers compromised the networks of telecommunications companies to obtain customer call records and gain access to the private communications of “a limited number of individuals." Though the FBI has not publicly identified any of the victims, officials believe senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures are among those whose whose communications were accessed. Neuberger said officials did not yet have a precise sense how many Americans overall were affected by Salt Typhoon, in part because the Chinese were careful about their techniques, but a “large number" were in the Washington-Virginia area. Officials believe the goal of the hackers was to identify who owned the phones and, if they were “government targets of interest,” spy on their texts and phone calls, she said. The FBI said most of the people targeted by the hackers are "primarily involved in government or political activity.” Neuberger said the episode highlighted the need for required cybersecurity practices in the telecommunications industry, something the Federal Communications Commission is to take up at a meeting next month. “We know that voluntary cyber security practices are inadequate to protect against China, Russia and Iran hacking of our critical infrastructure,” she said. The Chinese government has denied responsibility for the hacking.The phenomenon of internet celebrities embracing the "edgy" may be a reflection of our evolving cultural landscape, where traditional notions of propriety and decency are being challenged and redefined. As societal norms continue to shift and evolve, it is perhaps inevitable that individuals will seek to express themselves in ways that push the boundaries of what is considered acceptable or appropriate.
