Given Donald Trump’s history of making false or misleading statements — and his fixation on people’s physical appearance and size — it’s not a reach to think that he’d exaggerate his height. The president-elect has long claimed that he stands a commanding 6-foot-3, the Daily Mail reported . But the 78-year-old didn’t appear to measure up to that height, not while standing next to Prince William, who also is said to be 6-foot-3. The height discrepancy of an inch or two was visible when Trump met the heir to the British throne at the reopening of Notre Dame in Paris on Saturday. Trump and William appeared to enjoy a cordial exchange as they shook hands inside the cathedral, though the prince had to bend his head to meet the shorter man’s gaze. Trump and William later posed for photos at the residence of the British ambassador to France, as an exercise of soft diplomacy. Trump, again, looked somewhat shorter than the son of King Charles III and the late Princess Diana. Incidentally, the former reality TV star once claimed that he could have “nailed” Diana, and he also insisted in 2023 that William’s mother was among the celebrities who wanted to “kiss” up to him before he went into politics, People reported. The latter claim was fiercely denounced by Diana’s brother, Charles, 9th Earl Spencer, who said that the princess once likened Trump to a very bad sore in “the arse,” in the one and only time he said she mentioned him. It’s not likely that William brought up Trump’s boasts and insults at the Notre Dame event. After all, he was there to represent his father and British government. If there’s any consolation, he appeared to tower above the man who once spoke disrespectfully about his mother — even as he also appeared to have a friendly chat with the incoming U.S. president. Trump, for his part, praised William, quipping to reporters: “Good man, this one.” In a later interview with the New York Post , Trump had more positive things to say about the future king, saying they had a “great” 40-minute chat. “I asked him about his wife and he said she’s doing well,” Trump told the Post, referring to the Princess of Wales’ treatment over the past year for cancer. Trump also referred to Charles’ cancer battle, saying, “And I asked him about his father and his father is fighting very hard, and he loves his father and he loves his wife, so it was sad. We had a great talk for half an hour, a little more than half an hour. We had a great, great talk.” Meanwhile, it’s possible that Trump has become shorter than his stated 6-foot-3. It’s known that men can begin to shrink as they age. Some health experts say that men can lose an inch in height between ages 30 and 70, and lose another inch after they turn 80. Trump is almost 80. According to the Daily Mail, Trump remains sensitive about his height, as he has boasted about the beauty and stature of his oldest daughter Ivanka Trump . He also has expressed pride in the fact that his youngest son, 18-year-old Barron, has grown to a towering 6-foot-7. But “rumors have long swirled” that Trump relies on “lifters” — insoles in shoes — or taller heels to give him an additional height, the Daily Mail reported. Unfortunately for Trump, he has begun to appear shorter than he might like when he has recently posed besides other world figures and business leaders, according to the Daily Mail. For example, Trump didn’t look much taller standing next to the 5-foot-7 French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace on Saturday. Trump also has been somewhat dwarfed physically by his fervent new supporter, the 6-foot-2 Elon Musk, the Daily Mail said. When the Tesla and Space X founder joined Trump at his campaign appearances, or when he hosted the 47th president to the Nov. 19 launch of his SpaceX Starship rocket, he stood “significantly” taller than the new president, the Daily Mail reported. ©2024 MediaNews Group, Inc.

Trail Blazers' ‘antsy’ Donovan Clingan nearing return
By Trevor Hunnicutt WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President-elect Donald Trump's team is discussing pursuing direct talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, hoping a fresh diplomatic push can lower the risks of armed conflict, according to two people familiar with the matter. Several in Trump's team now see a direct approach from Trump, to build on a relationship that already exists, as most likely to break the ice with Kim, years after the two traded insults and what Trump called "beautiful" letters in an unprecedented diplomatic effort during his first term in office, the people said. The policy discussions are fluid and no final decisions have been made by the president-elect, the sources said. Trump's transition team did not respond to a request for comment. What reciprocation Kim will offer Trump is unclear. The North Koreans ignored four years of outreach by U.S. President Joe Biden to start talks with no pre-conditions, and Kim is emboldened by an expanded missile arsenal and a much closer relationship with Russia. "We have already gone as far as we can on negotiating with the United States," Kim said last week in a speech at a Pyongyang military exhibition, according to state media. During his 2017-2021 presidency, Trump held three meetings with Kim, in Singapore, Hanoi, and at the Korean border, the first time a sitting U.S. president had set foot in the country. Their diplomacy yielded no concrete results, even as Trump described their talks as falling "in love." The U.S. called for North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons, while Kim demanded full sanctions relief, then issued new threats. It was not clear what result a new diplomatic effort would yield. An initial Trump goal would be to reestablish basic engagement but further policy aims or a precise timetable have not been set, the people said. And the issue may take a backseat to more pressing foreign policy concerns in the Middle East and Ukraine, according to one person briefed on the transition's thinking. North Korean state media have not yet publicly mentioned the re-election of Trump, and Kim said this month that the United States was ramping up tension and provocations, raising the risks of nuclear war. Trump and some of his allies left office with the impression that the direct approach was Washington's best shot at influencing behavior north of the demilitarized zone, which has divided the Korean Peninsula for seven decades. The countries' war was never technically ended even as the guns fell silent. On Friday, Trump named one of the people who implemented that initial North Korea strategy, former State Department official Alex Wong, as his deputy national security adviser. "As Deputy Special Representative for North Korea, he helped negotiate my Summit with North Korean Leader, Kim Jong Un," Trump said in a statement. TENSIONS RISE Trump inherits an increasingly tense situation with Kim when he returns to the White House in January, as he did in 2017, an atmosphere allies expect the incoming president to confront head-on. "My experience with President Trump is he's much more likely to be open to direct engagement," said U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty, a Trump ally, in an interview with Reuters earlier this year. "I'm optimistic that we can see an improvement in the relationship and perhaps a different posture adopted by Kim Jong Un if that dialogue were reopened again." Washington has a dossier of concerns over the country's expanding nuclear weapons and missile program, its increasingly hostile rhetoric to South Korea and its close collaboration with Russian President Vladimir Putin. These topics are expected to feature in Biden administration transition briefings for Trump aides, according to a U.S. official. The Trump team has yet to sign transition agreements, which could limit the scope of some of these briefings. The White House did not respond to a request for comment. Particularly concerning to Washington are the prospects of increased sharing of nuclear or missile technology between Russia and North Korea and the deployment of thousands of North Korean troops to Russia to help in the war with Ukraine. Reuters reported on Monday that North Korea is expanding a key weapons manufacturing complex that assembles a type of short-range missile used by Russia in Ukraine, citing researchers at a U.S.-based think tank who examined satellite images. U.S. officials said those factors raise the risk of a conflict between multiple nuclear armed nations in Europe or Asia, including the United States and its allies, which include South Korea and Japan. American troops are deployed throughout the region to deter North Korea, and Trump has insisted that U.S. allies share more of the cost for those deployments. In his final meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping earlier this month in Peru, Biden asked for Beijing to use its leverage to reel in North Korea. Opportunity for China and the U.S. to work together may be limited as Trump vows vast tariffs on Chinese goods and stacks his inner circle with China hardliners, such as Marco Rubio as secretary of state and Representative Mike Waltz as national security adviser. Trump said last month the two countries would have had "a nuclear war with millions of people killed," but that he had stopped it, thanks to his ties with the North's leader.

Home | News | Opinion Renaissance Of Handcrafts In A Digital World Opinion: Renaissance of handcrafts in a digital world Resurgence of crafts in a digital world is about creating a conscious economy that respects resources By Telangana Today Published Date - 29 December 2024, 10:30 PM By Viiveck Verma One might argue that in a world of digital innovation and artificial intelligence, the return to traditional craftsmanship might seem paradoxical, yet it has gained momentum as consumers and creators alike seek connection, authenticity, and sustainability in an era of rapid consumption. Once viewed as remnants of a bygone era, handcrafts are witnessing a renaissance as artisans and enthusiasts rekindle the value of skills passed down through generations. This revival isn’t just a nostalgic nod to the past; it represents a growing awareness of the social, economic and environmental potential of craftsmanship in a world that increasingly prizes speed and convenience over substance and soul. Also Read Opinion: Preserve human touch with AI Opinion: Learning from nature Opinion: AI for self-betterment Deep Connect The current demand for handcrafted goods is fueled, in part, by a reaction to the digital saturation that has reshaped modern life. In a society where mass-produced items flood the market and the pace of consumption outpaces any sort of reflection, handmade items offer an appealing counterbalance. They embody uniqueness, with each piece marked by the subtle imperfections that make it genuinely one-of-a-kind. Handcrafted products allow buyers to establish a deeper connection with their purchases, knowing that they are supporting an artisan’s skill, effort and personal touch. This quest for connection is particularly evident in sectors of fashion, home decor and culinary arts, where customers are increasingly willing to pay a premium for items that reflect craftsmanship over mechanical precision. A meticulously hand-stitched leather bag or a bespoke piece of furniture speaks volumes in a world where nearly everything is plucked from an assembly line. People are drawn to the idea of owning something that requires time, care and expertise, qualities that machines, for all their efficiency, struggle to replicate. Economic Empowerment Craftsmanship is, at its core, a cultural and historical repository, preserving traditional techniques, local materials, and native designs. The global resurgence of handcrafted goods has allowed artisans to reclaim their cultural heritage, often transforming it into economic empowerment. Take, for example, the resurgence of demand for Japanese indigo dyeing or India’s intricate block-printing techniques. These crafts not only embody the history and traditions of their regions but also provide livelihoods in areas where other economic opportunities may be scarce. Brands must ensure that their partnerships with artisans are equitable and respect the labour-intensive nature of true craftsmanship Countries around the world are recognising this value. In Mexico, the government has implemented initiatives to preserve traditional crafts like Oaxacan weaving and Alebrije carving, while in Africa, organisations are investing in handwoven textiles to support local economies. These initiatives do so much more than sustain age-old practices. They allow communities to thrive and maintain a unique identity in a globalised world. In fact, it’s not unusual now to find designers, both local and international, collaborating with indigenous artisans to incorporate traditional elements into modern designs, creating pieces that are both timeless and contemporary. However, while this trend benefits artisans, it also raises ethical considerations. As the demand for handcrafted goods rises, artisans face pressure to produce at a pace that matches mill production, thus contradicting the philosophy of craftsmanship itself. Brands looking to capitalise on the appeal of ‘authenticity’ must tread carefully, ensuring that their partnerships with artisans are equitable and respect the time and labour-intensive nature of true craftsmanship. Otherwise, the industry risks undermining the very principles it aims to uphold. Tech Advantage It may seem that technology is the antithesis of traditional craftsmanship, but the digital age has, paradoxically, been a powerful enabler for the craft revival. Social media platforms like Instagram and Etsy have provided artisans with visibility and a global audience previously unimaginable. Artisans can now share their processes, tell their stories, and showcase their work to consumers across the world, bridging the gap between creator and consumer without the expense of moving themselves or their work. This democratisation of art and craft has allowed small, independent artisans to find buyers from across the globe, who appreciate their work, sidestepping the need for intermediaries and allowing for more direct and profitable transactions. Technology has also enhanced collaboration between artisans and designers across borders. Digital tools enable designers to experiment with traditional motifs, adapting them into new forms with hybrid aesthetics that appeal to modern tastes. However, the question remains: to what extent can digital tools coexist with or enhance traditional craftsmanship without diluting it? There is a fine line between innovation and appropriation, and as the craft industry expands, it must navigate this balance carefully. While technology facilitates access and expands markets, the essence of craftsmanship, the focus on skill, patience, and artistry, must not be compromised. Automation can certainly replicate techniques, but it cannot capture the human intention behind each individual creation. A handcrafted object possesses an emotional resonance precisely because it was made by human hands, a quality that cannot be digitised. Sustainable Consumption The revival of craftsmanship dovetails with the increasing consumer awareness around sustainability. The fashion and home goods industries, notorious for their environmental impact, are under scrutiny as consumers seek more eco-friendly options. Handcrafted goods, with their emphasis on quality and durability, offer an appealing alternative to fast fashion and disposable decor. Products made by artisans tend to be designed for longevity rather than obsolescence, contributing to a more sustainable consumption model. For instance, a handwoven rug made with natural dyes or a piece of pottery crafted from local clay typically has a lower carbon footprint than its mass-produced equivalents. Artisans are often more in tune with sustainable practices, sourcing materials locally and producing in small batches, avoiding overproduction. The craft revival isn’t merely about celebrating tradition; it’s about creating a conscious, circular economy that respects resources and values durability over trend-driven consumption. As the digital world accelerates, the slow, methodical pace of craftsmanship offers a welcome counterpoint. For all the advancements in technology, the resurgence of traditional crafts reveals a universal human truth: people crave meaning and connection in their lives. Craftsmanship, with its emphasis on skill, artistry and cultural resonance, offers a tactile and emotional depth that digital products often lack. Yet, as this revival continues, it is crucial to protect the integrity of traditional crafts, ensuring they are not commodified to the point of losing their authenticity.

The losing run may have been halted – but the questions remain for Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City players. From 3-0 up, City contrived to throw away victory with self-inflicted mistakes, three goals conceded in 14 minutes underlining the scale of the ongoing crisis facing Guardiola. Catastrophic defending allowed Feyenoord a way back into a game that should have been beyond them, but Guardiola's side proved obliging opponents with their late collapse. City travel to Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday, where a repeat of such mistakes will be punished ruthlessly by Arne Slot 's formidable side. An error from Josko Gvardiol 15 minutes from time, a sloppy backpass that allowed Feyenoord to score, showed City's propensity for self-inflicted damage. More defensive chaos, seven minutes later, allowed Feyenoord to pull another goal back and leave City fans fearing another home implosion, after Saturday's 4-0 mauling to Spurs. Those fears were well-founded with the Dutch side grabbing an equaliser a minute from normal time, after more slapstick defending from City saw them punished once again. Feyenoord always looked threatening, even when they went behind and the game seemed beyond them, Brian Priske's side deserving huge credit for refusing to accept they were beaten. They had to wait until midway through the first-half for their sight of the City goal, Igor Paixao sending a spectacular volleyed effort high and wide under pressure from Foden. A minute later, at the other end, Wellenreuther came to his side's rescue with another stunning save, diving at full-stretch down to his left to turn away a low goal-bound strike from Foden, Guardiola unable to contain his despair at another near-miss. After a bright start to the game, City's passing began to go awry, with Ederson, Silva, Akanji and Matheus Nunes all guilty of conceding possession cheaply, to the increasing dismay of Guardiola. Paixao was presented with another opportunity to score just after the half-hour, but his half-hearted attempt a a lob was gathered easily by Ederson. A thunderous shot from Hwang was deflected behind off Nunes, as City continued to live dangerously and invite pressure. What's going wrong for Man City? Share your thoughts in the comments below When Haaland was put through on goal by Foden, it seemed inevitable he would score, but the forward's shot was blocked by David Hancko. But Haaland was not to be denied a third time, converting from the penalty spot in the 44 th minute after he was adjudged to have been fouled to win a fortuitous spot-kick. City doubled their lead five minutes after the restart, when a volley from the edge of the area from Ilkay Gundogan took a deflection off Hancko, leaving Wellenreuther no chance of saving it. Haaland made it 3-0 two minutes later, sliding to turn the ball into the net from a Nunes cross, who was set scampering down the right courtesy of a sublime pass from Gundogan. Gvardiol's mistake allowed Anis Hadji Moussa to pull a goal back, then the nerves were further shredded when sub Santiago Gimenez chested the ball in from close range after more slapstick defending from City. Feyenoord completed the miracle comeback in the 89 th minute when Paixao got to the ball ahead of Ederson and crossed for Hancko to head into the empty net. There was no show of anger from Guardioa, who simply scratched his head, seemingly incredulous at how his side had imploded at home for the second time in four days.

When the third goal from Brenden Aaronson arrived that guaranteed Leeds would be going top of the Championship, Daniel Farke danced down the touchline and punched the air so much his hair jiggled. When the teams met at Elland Road in August, in the Carabao Cup, Middlesbrough had left with a 3-0 win and Elland Road was filled with jeers. Leeds were losing games and players back then. It has not been easy to get a team defeated in the play-off final a season after relegation to get going again. Farke’s exuberance spoke of his relief. He was still punching the air when he walked to greet his players at full-time. No one was afforded a bigger hug from the boss than Daniel James. He was outstanding, creating the first goal, and scoring the second, with the game level and in the balance in the closing stages, before Aaronson’s clincher.Apollomics Regains Compliance with Nasdaq's Minimum Bid Price Requirement
By JOSH BOAK WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Tuesday he was “stupid” not to put his own name on pandemic relief checks in 2021, noting that Donald Trump had done so in 2020 and likely got credit for helping people out through this simple, effective act of branding. Biden did the second-guessing as he delivered a speech at the Brookings Institution defending his economic record and challenging Trump to preserve Democratic policy ideas when he returns to the White House next month.

The president laid out favorable recent economic data but acknowledged his rare public regret that he had not been more self-promotional in advertising the financial support provided by his administration as the country emerged from the pandemic. “I signed the American Rescue Plan, the most significant economic recovery package in our history, and also learned something from Donald Trump,” Biden said at the Washington-based think tank. “He signed checks for people for 7,400 bucks ... and I didn’t. Stupid.” The decision by the former reality TV star and real estate developer to add his name to the checks sent by the U.S. Treasury to millions of Americans struggling during the coronavirus marked the first time a president’s name appeared on any IRS payments. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris , who replaced him as the Democratic nominee , largely failed to convince the American public of the strength of the economy. The addition of 16 million jobs, funding for infrastructure, new factories and investments in renewable energy were not enough to overcome public exhaustion over inflation, which spiked in 2022 and left many households coping with elevated grocery, gasoline and housing costs. More than 6 in 10 voters in November’s election described the economy as “poor” or “not so good,” according to AP VoteCast, an extensive survey of the electorate. Trump won nearly 7 in 10 of the voters who felt the economy was in bad shape, paving the way for a second term as president after his 2020 loss to Biden. Biden used his speech to argue that Trump was inheriting a strong economy that is the envy of the world. The inflation rate fell without a recession that many economists had viewed as inevitable, while the unemployment rate is a healthy 4.2% and applications to start new businesses are at record levels. Biden called the numbers under his watch “a new set of benchmarks to measure against the next four years.” “President-elect Trump is receiving the strongest economy in modern history,” said Biden, who warned that Trump’s planned tax cuts could lead to massive deficits or deep spending cuts. He also said that Trump’s promise of broad tariffs on foreign imports would be a mistake, part of a broader push Tuesday by the administration to warn against Trump’s threatened action. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also issued a word of caution about them at a summit of The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council. “I think the imposition of broad based tariffs, at least of the type that have been discussed, almost all economists agree this would raise prices on American consumers,” she said. Biden was also critical of Trump allies who have pushed Project 2025 , a policy blueprint from the Heritage Foundation that calls for a complete overhaul of the federal government. Trump has disavowed participation in it, though parts were written by his allies and overlap with his stated views on economics, immigration, education policy and civil rights. “I pray to God the president-elect throws away Project 2025,” Biden said. “I think it would be an economic disaster.” Associated Press writer Fatima Hussein in Washington contributed to this report.
