EAST RUTHERFORD — Joe Schoen apologists will tell you that he hasn’t had a chance to “pick” his own quarterback. Yet all he did this season was assemble one of the worst quarterback rooms in modern football history. Three quarterbacks have tried and three quarterbacks have failed miserably in this putrid Giants offense — the latest example coming Sunday at MetLife Stadium when Drew Lock had poor pocket presence and missed open receivers in the Giants’ 14-11 loss to a bad Saints team. “Obviously we could’ve done a better job in certain areas whether it’s protection, reads, throws, calls — whatever it may be,” said head coach Brian Daboll, who has also failed at being the offensive mastermind that the Giants hired him two years ago to be. “It’s a collective thing. Put it on me.” Look, the obvious caveat is that it would be difficult for many quarterbacks to thrive in this environment. The 2-11 Giants are down to backups at both offensive tackle spots, lost two more linemen during Sunday’s game, and don’t have a legitimate pass-catching tight end. No one is asking for Tom Brady-level production, though, and it’s undeniable that the front office didn’t help its cause by signing lousy quarterbacks who don’t elevate an offense in any shape or form. Remember when Schoen thought he could somehow neutralize Daniel Jones’ deficiencies by drafting wide receiver Malik Nabers instead of picking a new quarterback like J.J. McCarthy or Bo Nix, who is going to win Offensive Rookie of the Year with the Broncos? Remember when the staff didn’t have enough faith in Tommy DeVito to name him the backup this season, but suddenly wanted the No. 3 quarterback to start after benching Daniel Jones in Week 12, then changed their minds after DeVito missed one game due to injury? Or remember when they thought Lock was a legitimate backup to sign in the first place, rather than pursue a more provenly successful veteran like Russell Wilson? None of it has worked out. Schoen has made numerous miscalculations that he must own, and it’s no longer realistic for fans to trust that he’s the right man to find a franchise quarterback with one of the first picks in next year’s draft. Just how bad was Lock against the Saints’ 29th-ranked passing defense? He didn’t complete a pass until the second quarter after eight straight incompletions, and he had only 81 passing yards entering the fourth quarter, when the Giants trailed by double digits. “Just missed some easy ones,” Lock said. “One of those (first) halves where you’re gonna go back and be frustrated. They were giving us some stuff, and, ah, man, just didn’t maximize the opportunities they gave us. As the quarterback and how I feel, it’s the classic ‘shoot myself in the foot.’ Found some plays where we had opportunities and didn’t take them, didn’t make them.” Lock even in the second quarter for inexplicably cutting to the outside on a scramble when he had a first down if he continued running straight. Even when the Giants miraculously had a chance to tie or take the lead late, Lock rolled to his right and threw an interception with 1:52 remaining from the Giants’ 38-yard line. Then the Giants got the back ball thanks to their defense forcing the Saints to punt for the seventh time, yet their last-minute drive stalled at the Saints’ 17-yard line and fittingly ended with a blocked field goal. “They were giving us a lot of Tampa (defensive coverage) on that final drive,” Lock said in explaining the second- and third-down incompletions. “Flipped around a couple guys around in the huddle. Put Wan’Dale (Robinson) at 3, (Malik Nabers) at the X, tried to get it to him on one of the boundary safeties. They gave me Tampa, Wan’Dale did a great job of getting around 56, put a low ball to Wan’Dale and guy made a good play on that. “The last play it was, we’ve got the field goal, they’re gonna be playing off, can’t get tackled in bounds. If we do, we better get up on the ball. But at that point it was end zone, incomplete or out of bounds, and it ended out of bounds.” The only positive to come out of Sunday was that with a fourth-quarter touchdown, the Giants are still averaging 14.9 points per game. That’s 0.1 higher than the worst scoring average in team history (minimum 16-game schedule) set by the 1979 Giants. But there’s plenty of time for that record to be broken with four more opponents who all have a chance to make the playoffs and will be almost certainly be tougher than the Saints. The Giants are also on pace to finish with the most losses (at least 14) in franchise history after recording 13 in 2021 and 2017. They have finished with two wins or fewer five other times (not since 1974), except all of those seasons contained no more than 14 games. It’s not an ideal way to celebrate your 100th year as a franchise, but this is what happens when you run a systemic failure from the top all the way down, starting with a dreadful quarterback room. So where do the Giants turn to for answers in the final month of the season? “Each other,” said wide receiver Darius Slayton, who has endured five losing seasons in six years with the Giants. “Nobody is gonna come make the plays. We’ve got to make the plays. We’ve got to run, catch, throw and block. So got to do that better.”
Voon says one of the most pressing concerns is the high cost of transitioning to e-invoicing. KUCHING (Dec 28): The mandatory e-invoicing may inadvertently push small and family-owned businesses to the brink of closure, undermining their vital role in the economy, asserted social activist Voon Shiak Ni. “First and foremost, the current threshold for mandatory e-invoicing is set far too low. Many stakeholders including members of the federal government have highlighted that the threshold should be increased to above RM500,000. “This adjustment would provide breathing room for small businesses, particularly ‘mom-and-pop’ shops and rural family-run operations that are already struggling to make ends meet,” she said in a statement yesterday. According to Voon, one of the most pressing concerns is the high cost of transitioning to e-invoicing. She observed that small businesses, which often operate on razor-thin margins, would need to invest in new software, hardware and training to comply with the system. For many, she said these expenses are simply unaffordable, especially in the current economic climate. “Recent increases in the minimum wage from RM1,500 to RM1,700, though beneficial to workers, add further financial strain to business owners already grappling with inflation and rising operating costs. “Inflation has made everything more expensive, from raw materials to utilities, leaving small businesses with little room to absorb additional expenses. “Unlike larger corporations, which have the resources to negotiate better deals and manage compliance costs, small businesses operate on limited budgets,” she explained. In addition, Voon said the complexity of e-invoicing requirements posed a significant challenge given that many small businesses, particularly in rural areas, rely on straightforward systems like handwritten receipts or simple cash registers. She opined that forcing them to adopt a digital system requiring real-time submissions and strict compliance would add unnecessary stress to their already heavy workloads, highlighting that these businesses often lack the technical expertise or resources to navigate the change effectively. “The timing of this initiative is another issue. Many small businesses are still recovering from the economic impacts of the pandemic. Coupled with rising costs and tighter margins, the sudden push for mandatory e-invoicing feels poorly timed and unreasonably rushed. “Without adequate time to familiarise themselves with the system, many small businesses may face closure, devastating not only the owners but also the communities that rely on their services,” she said. As such, she proposed that the government raise the threshold for mandatory compliance to above RM500,000, so as to provide relief for small businesses, allowing them to adjust more comfortably. She said other measures could include financial assistance from the government, meant to help businesses cover the cost of new tools, systems and training. “The government can also consider implementing e-invoicing in stages, starting with larger corporations to give small businesses the time they need to adapt. “The government should also develop affordable, user-friendly invoicing solutions specifically for small businesses and offer free training workshops to ease the transition significantly,” she suggested. Voon said the government must also address concerns about data security and system manipulation by engaging independent auditors to ensure the system is robust, secure and trustworthy. “Given the many public concerns on the issue, I do earnestly call upon the government to consider increasing the threshold and roll out the system more gradually to ensure that small businesses are not left behind or killed off in the push for modernisation.”

NoneThe rise of services prompts developing countries to look beyond manufacturing-led exports and enable productivity growth across the economic system. Service exports, now representing 25% of world trade, offer a bright spot amid a subdued global economic outlook. In 2023, trade in services expanded by 5% in real terms, contrasting a 1.2% contraction in merchandise trade, according to the Trade and Development Report 2024. As a development strategy, services are gaining more traction than manufacturing, a longstanding growth engine for middle-income countries. “This is largely because the comparative advantage of cheaper, less-skilled labour no longer aligns with the reliance of modern manufacturing on skill- and capital-intensive production,” the report notes. “Additionally, industrialization is increasingly scrutinized for its large ecological footprint and contributions to climate change.” The dawn of a service economy could be a game changer for developing countries, but not without challenges. Currently, developing economies account for under 30% of global services export revenues and 44% of merchandise trade. With services and intangible assets – such as brands, designs and patented technologies – getting prominence in global value chains, asymmetries between developed and developing regions could worsen. Market concentration in the creative services trade is a case in point. In 2022, creative services were valued at $1.4 trillion, four fifths of which came from developed countries. The predominance also manifests in the geography of multinational firms providing international services. In 2022, 70% of these companies were headquartered in developed regions, compared to just 10% in developing ones excluding China. Current trade in services cannot generate enough quality jobs in developing countries, urging an ambitious policy mix towards green transition and promoting labour-absorbing activities, especially in the non-tradable services sectors. Some examples can be construction, retail, various types of care work as well as the personal and public sectors that provide services consumed locally in the country or region where they are produced.

Some Democrats frustrated over Biden reversing courseGreens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young (Image: Private Media/Zennie) Last week was a big week of anniversaries for Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young. November 24 marked 17 years since her election as a South Australian senator — the youngest woman ever elected to federal Parliament. She is also now the longest-serving Greens member, recently overtaking Rachel Siewert. “I’ve seen some stuff...” she tells me. November 25, meanwhile, marked five since she won a defamation case against former senator David Leyonhjelm, who famously told her to “stop shagging men” during a debate on women’s safety. Adam Bandt has issued terms to Labor. Labor should tell the Greens to get stuffed Read More That would be among the stuff . Last week’s milestones were overshadowed, however, by the PM’s intervention to “ scupper ” a deal Hanson-Young been negotiating with Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek on Labor’s nature positive reforms, including its promise to establish an environmental watchdog. Hanson-Young, who is the Greens’ environment spokesperson as well as manager of Senate business, walked into Parliament last week “hopeful” that a deal was close. The Greens had dropped demands for a climate trigger , focusing instead on native forest logging, while arguing the bill was far from what an independent review had recommended back in 2020. Alas, it was not to be, with Anthony Albanese informing the Greens on Tuesday the nature deal would not be proceeding, as he negotiated directly with leader Adam Bandt and Hanson-Young on a tranche of other bills. Journalists have been keen to establish just how formal the agreement was when canned, and just how much of a slight this was against Plibersek, who reportedly wasn’t told until after the fact. Hanson-Young has been guarded on what exactly occurred, hoping the bill can still be salvaged. But she’s been clear on a few things. First, she reckons Albanese bowed to mining interests in WA on this one — something seemingly confirmed by the industry “ cheering ” his decision (WA Labor Premier Roger Cook quickly claimed credit ). Second, that Plibersek was a good negotiator, who was actually willing to talk and seek compromise. Hanson-Young points to bills they’ve successfully worked on, including the Murray Darling Basin plan and nature repair scheme . “Negotiating from different positions is not always friendly, but the way I engage and the way Tanya has always engaged is respectful and honest,” she says. “I think what happened last week would have been pretty devastating to her, because she had her heart set on getting this piece of legislation through.” It’s a far cry from the acrimony of which Labor and the Greens have both been accused. Are women simply better at negotiating? So much for Greensland: Does Adam Bandt know why the Greens are stalling? Read More “I think women are better at it,” says Hanson-Young, noting conversations with Senate counterpart Katy Gallagher are similarly productive, with each able to put their ego aside. “That’s a generalisation, but frankly there’s a lot of blokes in that place who spend a lot of time talking tough ... a little more time listening, a little more time considering what the other side is looking for, wouldn’t go astray.” “Just because you shout it loudest doesn’t actually mean your idea is the best,” she adds, noting Parliament still has a way to go in this area. Our chat comes amid reports the Greens have adopted a “ new spirit of cooperation ”, with many linking recent election results to the minor party being too obstructive. Bandt has been out defending this year’s approach , while indicating he’s up for more collaboration in the next, saying the Greens would seek a deal with Labor in a hung parliament. Hanson-Young is of a similar mind, arguing that it was important for the Greens to push for better outcomes. “I know people don’t like hearing about how the sausage is made,” she says. “But I think what we’ve seen at the end here, in this last week of Parliament, you know, over 40 bills passed — the majority of which were negotiated with the Greens and the government constructively. We got a good outcome; we didn’t get everything we wanted, but we got a lot.” Should they have pushed harder for the nature reforms, insisting — as independent David Pocock initially did — that the bill be included in any package deal? Hanson-Young says there was no point, with Albanese making “very clear” he wasn’t going to countenance it. “At some point you do have to make a call about getting what you can,” she adds, arguing it was “fantasy land” to think the PM was going to suddenly stand up to the mining industry. “That’s the art of negotiation and it’s the art of compromise.” Why does Labor keep using the phrase ‘Greens political party’? Read More Like Bandt, Hanson-Young has begun speaking out even more forcefully against Peter Dutton since Donald Trump’s election victory, arguing the Greens’ job is simultaneously to “push Labor to be better, but keep Dutton out”. “Women in particular are terrified of the licence that Peter Dutton is giving his front and backbench to spruik and follow the ultra-right rhetoric in America,” she tells me. One of her priorities next year will be helping the Greens win Liberal-held Sturt in South Australia, in which the minor party has an outside chance . But she also wants to ensure the party has a strong Senate bloc, ensuring that “nature, climate and the community have a strong voice, whoever ends up being prime minister”. And like Bandt, she’s adamant that it’s time for progressives in Parliament to start working together. “Otherwise we end up handing the keys of the Lodge to a Trump fanatic like Peter Dutton, and frankly as a Green, as a progressive, as a woman, I’m not prepared to see that happen.” Have something to say about this article?

The sides exchanged warm congratulations and best wishes on the upcoming New Year, and confirmed their mutual commitment to strengthening and expanding strategic partnership relations between Turkmenistan and the Russian Federation. During the conversation, the importance and relevance of the political dialogue was noted, which proved its effectiveness and compliance with the interests of peace, stability and sustainable development. One of the topics of the conversation was the discussion of the prospects for cooperation in 2025, which, at the initiative of Turkmenistan, was declared the International Year of Peace and Trust by the UN General Assembly. In this regard, the urgency to unite and consolidate the efforts of the international community in returning to the global policy of a culture of dialogue, respect and tolerance was highlighted. Women have a crucial role to play in this endeavor, with their high responsibility and perception of their humanistic mission to present and future generations. In this context, the National Leader of the Turkmen people noted the successful holding of the first Women’s Dialogue of Central Asian states and Russia in Turkmenistan in 2022. It was emphasized that the forum demonstrated the stabilizing and creative role of women in international life, and gave an important impetus to their active engagement in the processes of intensifying interstate relations. In this regard, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov proposed to Speaker of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation Valentina Matvienko to consider hosting the Second Dialogue of Women of Central Asian states and Russia in May of the following year in the Avaza national tourist zone on the Turkmen coast of the Caspian Sea. This event would hold particular significance as it would reaffirm the Caspian Sea’s role and historical destiny as a sea of peace, harmony, good-neighborliness and effective international cooperation, a meeting place, dialogue and mutual understanding. This is especially important in the context of the current complex global political landscape. The Second Dialogue on the Caspian Sea should also serve as a testament to the region’s growing prominence as a hub for responsible international diplomacy, fostering creative impulses of cooperation and mutual understanding that extend far beyond its borders.///nCa, 28 December 2024 (in cooperation with MFA Turkmenistan)AP News in Brief at 6:04 p.m. EST
State Sen. Brian Jones Hosts Annual Holiday Open HouseThe Prime Minister insisted the UK will back Ukraine “for as long as it takes” as he made a speech at the Lord Mayor’s Banquet in London, but for the first time acknowledged the conflict could move towards a negotiated end. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has in recent weeks suggested he is open to a possible ceasefire with Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Kyiv and its European allies meanwhile fear the advent of Donald Trump’s return to the White House could result in American aid being halted. President-elect Trump has said he would prefer to move towards a peace deal, and has claimed he could end the conflict on “day one” of his time in power. As he attempts to strike up a good relationship with the incoming president, Sir Keir revealed he had told Mr Trump the UK “will invest more deeply than ever in this transatlantic bond with our American friends in the years to come”. In his speech at London’s Guildhall, the Prime Minister said there is “no question it is right we support Ukraine”, as the UK’s aid to Kyiv is “deeply in our self-interest”. Allowing Russia to win the war would mean “other autocrats would believe they can follow Putin’s example,” he warned. Sir Keir added: “So we must continue to back Ukraine and do what it takes to support their self-defence for as long as it takes. “To put Ukraine in the strongest possible position for negotiations so they can secure a just and lasting peace on their terms that guarantees their security, independence, and right to choose their own future.” Mr Zelensky told Sky News over the weekend he would be open to speaking with Mr Putin, but branded the Russian president a “terrorist”. He also suggested Ukrainian territory under his control should be taken under the “Nato umbrella” to try to stop the “hot stage” of the war with Russia. In a banquet speech focused on foreign affairs, the Prime Minister said it was “plain wrong” to suggest the UK must choose between its allies, adding: “I reject it utterly. “(Clement) Attlee did not choose between allies. (Winston) Churchill did not choose. “The national interest demands that we work with both.” Sir Keir said the UK and the US were “intertwined” when it came to commerce, technology and security. The Prime Minister added: “That’s why, when President Trump graciously hosted me for dinner in Trump Tower, I told him that we will invest more deeply than ever in this transatlantic bond with our American friends in the years to come.” He also repeated his commitment to “rebuild our ties with Europe” and insisted he was right to try to build closer links with China. “It is remarkable that until I met President Xi last month there had been no face-to-face meeting between British and Chinese leaders for six years,” the Prime Minister said. “We can’t simply look the other way. We need to engage. To co-operate, to compete and to challenge on growth, on security concerns, on climate as well as addressing our differences in a full and frank way on issues like Hong Kong, human rights, and sanctions on our parliamentarians,” he added. The Prime Minister said he wants Britain’s role in the world to be that of “a constant and responsible actor in turbulent times”. He added: “To be the soundest ally and to be determined, always, in everything we do. “Every exchange we have with other nations, every agreement we enter into to deliver for the British people and show, beyond doubt, that Britain is back.” Ahead of Sir Keir’s speech, Lord Mayor Alastair King urged the Prime Minister and his Government to loosen regulations on the City of London to help it maintain its competitive edge. In an echo of Sir Keir’s commitment to drive the UK’s economic growth, the Lord Mayor said: “The idealist will dream of growth, but the pragmatist understands that our most effective machinery to drive growth is here in the City, in the hands of some of the brightest and most committed people that you will find anywhere in the world.”Lautaro Martinez ended a near two-month goal drought as Inter Milan closed to within one point of Serie A leaders Atalanta by sweeping aside Cagliari 3-0. Martinez had gone eight matches since last finding the back of the net against Venezia on November 3 but after Alessandro Bastoni opened the scoring in the 54th minute, the Argentina international struck in Sardinia.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s side were grateful for a point in the end after falling behind to Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s first-half strike, only drawing level with two minutes remaining thanks to Marco Brescianini. Lautaro Valenti’s last-gasp strike condemned rock-bottom Monza to a 10th defeat in 18 matches as Parma edged a 2-1 victory, while Genoa defeated Empoli by the same scoreline.
