Humorist Jean Shepherd was a teenager when his father came home from work and began packing a suitcase. “What are ya doin’, Dad?”, asked Shepherd. Describing the scene to communication scholar Quentin Schultze, he said that his father replied: “I’m leaving. You’ll understand when you get older.” Shepherd’s father moved away and married a “trophy wife.” This wasn’t the kind of dark, life-changing event that tends to inspire a crucial symbol and theme in a beloved Christmas movie, noted Schultze. But Shepherd wove parts of his own life story into his storytelling, including work that became “A Christmas Story.” Americans who watch this 1983 family comedy – about 40 million watch the 24-hour marathon on TBS and TNT starting on Christmas Eve – know that it centers on a boy named Ralphie who is obsessed with a 200-shot Red Ryder air rifle BB gun. But another iconic image is the leg-shaped lamp, wearing a fishnet stocking, that Ralphie’s Old Man received as his “major award” after winning a contest. What was that all about? Schultze learned the answer when, for three years in the 1980s, he taught a college-level storytelling class with Shepherd, saving notebooks full of insights from their time together. “As Shepherd told me, the leg lamp became the Old Man’s trophy wife, which he had to show off to the world. He was unable to carry on his ‘affair’ with discretion,” wrote Schultze in “You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out! Life Lessons From the Movie ‘A Christmas Story.'” He is now professor emeritus at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The quest for the Red Ryder air rifle has a heartwarming final act, with a boy bonding with his volatile Old Man, the father’s only name in the script. And the leg lamp story also has a happy ending, even though it’s clear that Ralphie’s mother broke it on purpose. Shepherd didn’t sneak sermons into his work, but his humorous parables contain “deeper” and even “biblical” symbols and themes, said Schultze, reached by telephone. In the language of contemporary polling about religion, the storyteller – who died in 1999 – was a “none of the above” believer. “Shepherd knew that people are fallen things that do stupid stuff, but somehow things often turn out well,” said Schultze. “I considered him a closet Calvinist, but he didn’t want to have anything to do with organized religion. He was agnostic to religious institutions, yet he just couldn’t shake the reality of God. ... I would say that his stories contained ‘common grace,’ but he wouldn’t have used that term.” “You’ll shoot your eye out,” the movie’s famous catchphrase, was Shepherd’s way of saying that people shouldn’t act like fools while living in a messy, broken world, Schultze explained. The father’s raging, profane clashes with the cantankerous basement furnace were like symbolic journeys into the lower rings of Dante’s “Inferno.” The storyteller knew that evil was real, bullies were real and so were heroes. But “A Christmas Story” also dug deep into the actions of characters, especially men and boys, who let their dreams become obsessions. Ralphie’s mother becomes the hero who has the “will, if not the power, to control how the family protected its morals.” While watering her garden, she shatters the leg lamp, which was “at least implicitly sensual, not just ugly,” wrote Schultze in his new book. Her plants are a “Garden of Eden” symbol representing everything that’s good in their family. In the end, the children have a wonderful Christmas, including the Old Man getting emotional while giving Ralphie his Red Ryder air rifle. Later, as “Silent Night” plays on the radio, the mother turns out the living room light. Schultze describes the scene: “She and the Old Man sit next to each other, facing the very window where they battled over the leg lamp, next to the lit tree with the crooked star. Snow is falling, gently, peacefully, beautifully. They lift their wine glasses as a sign of peace, even as a declaration of gratitude for one another. The fight over the tawdry leg lamp has been resolved. ... ‘All is calm.'” Terry Mattingly is Senior Fellow on Communications and Culture at Saint Constantine College in Houston. He lives in Elizabethton, Tennessee, and writes Rational Sheep, a Substack newsletter on faith and mass media.

Pep Guardiola: It’s my responsibility to solve Manchester City’s poor run
Pope Francis kicks off a yearlong Jubilee that will test his stamina and Rome's patience VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has opened the great Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica. The ceremony kicks off the 2025 Holy Year. It's a celebration of the Catholic Church that is expected to draw some 32 million pilgrims to Rome. And it will test the pope’s stamina and the ability of the Eternal City to welcome them. This begins the Christmas Eve Mass. The ceremony inaugurates the once-every-25-year tradition of a Jubilee. Francis has dedicated the 2025 Jubilee to the theme of hope. Bethlehem marks a second subdued Christmas during the war in Gaza BETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP) — Bethlehem is marking another somber Christmas Eve under the shadow of war in Gaza. Manger Square lacked its usual festive lights and crowds of tourists on Tuesday. Instead, the area outside the Nativity Church was quiet. The church was built atop the spot where Jesus is believed to have been born. The war, the violence in the occupied West Bank it has spurred and the lack of festivities has deeply hurt Bethlehem's economy. The town relies heavily on Christmas tourism. The economy in the West Bank was already reeling because of restrictions placed on laborers preventing them from entering Israel during the war. Heavy travel day off to a rough start after American Airlines briefly grounds all flights WASHINGTON (AP) — American Airlines briefly grounded flights nationwide due to a technical problem just as the Christmas travel season kicked into overdrive and winter weather threatened more potential problems for those planning to fly or drive. Government regulators cleared American flights to get airborne Tuesday about one hour after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a national ground stop, which prevented planes from taking off. American said in an email that the problem was caused by an issue with a vendor technology that maintains its flight operating system. The flight-tracking site FlightAware reported that more than 3,200 flights entering or leaving the U.S., or serving domestic destinations, were delayed. Twenty-eight flights were canceled. Middle East latest: Israel expels patients from a hospital in Gaza TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The Palestinian Health Ministry says Israeli soldiers raided a hospital in isolated northern Gaza after forcing all the patients and most of the doctors to leave. The Israeli military confirmed its troops had entered the Indonesian Hospital in the town of Jabaliya on Tuesday, as part of an operation searching for Hamas fighters. Winter is hitting the Gaza Strip and many of the nearly 2 million Palestinians displaced by the devastating 15-month war are struggling to protect themselves from the wind, cold and rain. In the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian city of Bethlehem was marking a somber Christmas Eve under the shadow of war in Gaza, with most festivities cancelled and crowds of tourists absent. Caitlin Clark honored as AP Female Athlete of the Year following her impact on women's sports Caitlin Clark has been named the AP Female Athlete of the Year after raising the profile of women’s basketball to unprecedented levels in both college and the WNBA. She led Iowa to the national championship game, was the top pick in the WNBA draft and captured rookie of the year honors in the league. Fans packed sold-out arenas and millions of television viewers followed her journey on and off the court. Clark's exploits also put other women's sports leagues in the spotlight. A group of 74 sports journalists from AP and its members voted on the award. Other athletes who received votes included Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and boxer Imane Khelif. Clark’s only the fourth women’s basketball player to win the award since it was first given in 1931. Major storm pounds California's central coast, blamed for man's death and partially collapsing pier SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — A major storm has pounded California’s central coast bringing flooding and high surf that was blamed for fatally trapping a man beneath debris on a beach and later partially collapsing a pier, tossing three people into the Pacific Ocean. The storm was expected to bring hurricane-force winds and waves up to 60 feet Monday as it gained strength from California to the Pacific Northwest. Some California cities have ordered beachfront homes and hotels to evacuate early Monday afternoon. Forecasters have warned that storm swells would continue to increase throughout the day. Medellin Cartel victims demand truth and justice as cartel boss Fabio Ochoa walks free in Colombia BOGOTÁ, Colombia (AP) — The return of the notorious drug trafficker Fabio Ochoa to Colombia, following his deportation from the United States, has reopened old wounds among the victims of the Medellin cartel, with some expressing their dismay at the decision of Colombian authorities to let the former mafia boss walk free.Some of the cartel victims said on Tuesday that they are hoping the former drug lord will at least cooperate with ongoing efforts by human rights groups to investigate one of the most violent periods of Colombia’s history, and demanded that Colombian prosecutors also take Ochoa in for questioning. Man arraigned on murder charges in NYC subway death fanned flames with a shirt, prosecutors say NEW YORK (AP) — Prosecutors say a man accused of burning a woman to death inside a New York City subway train used a shirt to fan the flames, causing her to become engulfed. The suspect, identified by police as Sebastian Zapeta, was arraigned in Brooklyn criminal court on Tuesday. He faces murder charges that could put him in prison for life. Federal immigration officials say 33-year-old Zapeta is a Guatemalan citizen who entered the U.S. illegally after being deported in 2018. The apparently random attack occurred Sunday morning on a stationary F train at the Coney Island station in Brooklyn. Amsterdam court sentences 5 men over violence linked to Ajax-Maccabi soccer game THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — An Amsterdam District Court has issued sentences of up to six months in jail against 5 men who were involved in violent disorder after a soccer match between the Dutch club Ajax and Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv in November. The riots caused an international outcry and accusations of deliberate anti-Semitic attacks. The violence following a UEFA Europa League match left 5 people in hospital. More than 60 suspects were detained. The court on Tuesday sentenced one man to 6 months in prison, another to 2 1/2 months, two to 1 month and one to 100 hours of community service.
8 mobile phones seized in Ferozepur jailISTANBUL Upholding Syria’s territorial integrity, political unity, and unitary structure are top priorities for Türkiye, the head of the country's Communications Directorate said in remarks published Monday. “Türkiye's priority is protecting Syria's territorial integrity, political unity, and unitary structure. This structure is essential to ensuring the integrity of the region and the future of the Syrian people,” Fahrettin Altun said in an interview with regional broadcaster Euronews. Highlighting Ankara's support for the legitimate demands and rights of Syrians, as well as its respect for their will, Altun said their resilience and endeavor to shape their future has been key. Altun said Ankara remains committed to this position in the aftermath of the Bashar Assad regime's downfall earlier this month, as well as to genuinely helping heal the wounds of the Syrian people, supporting their development, and promoting peace. "For this reason, we prioritize the peace and safety of the local population. To this end, we are working to ensure the voluntary, safe, and dignified return of Syrian refugees," he added. Guided by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's vision, the Foreign Ministry is actively engaged in intensive diplomatic efforts and maintaining open communication channels with all regional parties to safeguard Syria's territorial integrity and achieve lasting peace, he added. Türkiye will not accept any attempts at political manipulation or ethnic division within Syrian territory under any circumstances, Altun vowed. He also warned that the presence of terrorist organizations in Syria poses a threat not only to the country’s border security but also the stability of the entire region. Reaffirming Türkiye’s stance against terrorism, Altun said Ankara pursues a solution-orientated policy based on justice and equity in cooperation with international actors, "whether it be the US, Russia, or Iran." “Türkiye, as the advocate of justice and protector of the oppressed, will persist in its endeavors for the peace and stability of the region,” he added. Türkiye never gives up its EU bid Pointing out Türkiye's longstanding effort to join the EU, Fidan said the country never gave up on its membership aspirations. Stating that Türkiye’s drive to join the bloc is an “intregral part of our strategic vision,” Altun said this is “more than just a foreign policy decision; it demonstrates our dedication to democracy, as well as our efforts for development and global collaboration.” He added that next year "may present new opportunities in this area. However, it is important to note that the European Union's approach is also a decisive factor in this process." Altun urged the EU to accept Türkiye as a member for the bloc to assume “an effective position on the global stage.” “Türkiye has always maintained an attitude of readiness to strengthen cooperation with the EU. We fundamentally anticipate the elimination of double standards in the accession process as well as the establishment of a constructive dialogue,” he said. Ankara is convinced that in the near future, there will be a strong need for the EU to strengthen its cooperation with it, especially to find joint solutions to both global and regional challenges, Altun said.

As third-party ecosystems expand, security threats multiply, and regulations tighten, this rapid growth signals a decisive market shift for companies striving to protect their data, operations, and reputations. Despite managing over 250 third-party relationships on average, Liminal's research found that fewer than half of organizations continuously monitor these vendors. Reliance on static questionnaires and annual audits has proven ineffective, with fewer than 10% of practitioners trusting their assessments. As compliance demands tighten—evidenced by GDPR fines in the billions of dollars—and threats evolve toward AI-enabled scams and cloud weaknesses, these outdated methods fail to identify emerging risks, leaving companies exposed. While most organizations recognize the urgency of new risk conditions and have increased their TPRM budgets, practitioners cite that progress is stalled by fragmented spending, siloed information, and manual workflows. The report shows that firms that invest in continuous monitoring, automation, and integrated solutions gain a clear advantage. By shifting from reactive, error-prone approaches to always-on, data-driven insights, decision-makers can detect vulnerabilities early, meet regulatory requirements more effectively, and foster stronger trust across their supply chains. "With TPRM spending nearly doubling and fewer than half of organizations conducting real-time checks, the data shows a clear mandate: it's time to evolve from basic, outdated compliance tasks to continuous, forward-looking risk intelligence," said Travis Jarae , CEO of Liminal . "Leading companies leverage automation and integrated analytics to stay ahead of emerging threats, turning risk management into a strategic advantage." Key Insights from The Market and Buyer's Guide for Third-Party Risk Management: "From healthcare providers working to safeguard patient data against potentially compromised supply chains to financial institutions navigating emerging regulations and data handling risks, the stakes have never been higher," said Joe Stuntz , Principal Advisor at Liminal . "Leaders who invest in advanced analytics, integrated solutions, and real-time monitoring not only mitigate threats—they position their organizations for sustained growth and trust in a digital-first economy." About Liminal Liminal is a technology company that empowers businesses with actionable market and competitive intelligence for go-to-market and sales enablement.

Trump vows to pursue executions after Biden commutes most of federal death rowMaputo tense after disputed poll result
No. 22 St. John's, Georgia pack busy schedule with game on SundayPep Guardiola admits the buck stops with him as Manchester City bid to arrest their dramatic slump in form. The champions crashed to a fifth straight defeat in all competitions – something not experienced by the club in more than 18 years – as they were thrashed 4-0 by Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. The loss, which was also a third in succession in the Premier League and shattered a 52-game unbeaten home run, damaged the club’s hopes of winning an unprecedented fifth title in a row. It is the worst run of Guardiola’s glittering managerial career and the City boss, who extended his contract until 2027 last week, is determined to turn the situation around. The Catalan said: “When we start to lose I say to the people I have to find a way, I have to. It’s my duty, my responsibility, to find a way to be more consistent, that our game will be better and win games. “This is what we have to do.” City have been hampered by injuries to key players in recent weeks, particularly by the absence of Ballon d’Or-winning midfielder Rodri, who has been sidelined for the remainder of the season. Problems have emerged at both ends of the field with a lack of clean sheets – just five in 19 outings this term – and a shortage of goals being scored on occasions, like Saturday, when the prolific Erling Haaland has an off-day. Guardiola said: “We don’t expect to lose important players but it’s happened and you have to find a way. We have to find other abilities. “I don’t think we didn’t create enough chances. We created a lot of chances, clear ones at 0-0, 0-1, 0-2. “Of course we want a lot of players to score but it’s happened now. “I know at the Etihad when we are there and we score goals our momentum is there, but now we are not solid enough. That is the truth. “In both sides normally we are solid but we concede the goals. Now in both sides we are not good enough. “In these situations, what do you have do to? Keep going my friends, keep going. “We have done it in the past – not in terms of results being as bad as now – but we have done it and we face the situation and move forward.”PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Suspected gang members opened fire on journalists in Haiti's capital on Tuesday as they were covering the attempted reopening of the country's largest hospital, wounding or killing an unknown number of people. Haiti's interim president, Leslie Voltaire, said in an address to the nation that journalists and police were among the victims of the vicious Christmas Eve attack. He did not specify how many casualties there were, or give a breakdown for the dead or wounded. “I send my sympathies to the people who were victims, the national police and the journalists,” Voltaire said, pledging “this crime is not going to go unpunished.” There were concerns there could be fatalities — a video posted online by the reporters trapped inside the hospital showed what appeared to be two lifeless bodies of men on stretchers, their clothes bloodied. One of the men had a lanyard with a press credential around his neck. Radio Télé Métronome initially reported that seven journalists and two police officers were wounded. Police and officials did not immediately respond to calls for information on the attack. Street gangs have taken over an estimated 85% of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince. They forced the closure of the General Hospital early this year during violence that also targeted the main international airport and Haiti’s two largest prisons. Authorities had pledged to reopen the facility Tuesday but as journalists gathered to cover the event, suspected gang members opened fire. Video posted online earlier showed reporters inside the building and at least three lying on the floor, apparently wounded. That video could also not be immediately verified. Johnson “Izo” André, considered Haiti’s most powerful gang leader and part of a gang coalition known as Viv Ansanm 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. Haiti has seen journalists targeted before. In 2023, two local journalists were killed in the space of a couple of weeks — radio reporter Dumesky Kersaint was fatally shot in mid-April that year, while journalist Ricot Jean was found dead later that month. In July, former Prime Minister Garry Conille visited the Hospital of the State University of Haiti, more widely known as the General Hospital, after authorities regained control of it from gangs. The hospital had been left ravaged and strewn with debris. Walls and nearby buildings were riddled with bullet holes, signaling fights between police and gangs. The hospital is across the street from the national palace, the scene of several battles in recent months. Gang attacks have pushed Haiti’s health system to the brink of collapse with looting, setting fires, and destroying medical institutions and pharmacies in the capital. The violence has created a surge in patients and a shortage of resources to treat them. Haiti’s health care system faces additional challenges during the rainy season, which is likely to increase the risk of water-borne diseases. Poor conditions in camps and makeshift settlements have heightened the risk of diseases like cholera, with over 84,000 suspected cases in the country, according to UNICEF.

The Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria ( KACRAN) has described the proposed state police as too expensive and risky to implement. Alhaji Khalil Bello, KACRAN National President, said this in a statement in Damaturu on Friday. He said the cost of establishing state police, depending on a state’s population, was between N10 billion to N30 billion, while monthly salaries and operational cost would gulp about N3 billion. “These expenditures could divert critical resources from essential public services such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure, which are vital for the development and well-being of the region,” he said. Bello said there were also concerns over abuse of state police by the politicians. “There is a risk that these forces could be used to serve the interests of local political leaders rather than the broader public, leading to the victimisation of opposition parties and creating an environment of lawlessness and anarchy. “Such a scenario could undermine the rule of law and erode public trust in law enforcement,” he said. He recommended redirecting resources toward initiatives that would promote sustainable development and long-term prosperity for the country. Bello listed the initiatives to include agriculture investment, youth employment as well as industrial and infrastructure development. The president also proposed the establishment of a security foundation fund in which monthly donation would be made to support the police. “KACRAN calls on the Arewa Consultative Forum, Northern Consultative Forum, emirs, and all northern leaders to oppose the establishment of State Police. “We believe that focusing on social services and economic development will yield greater benefits for the region than the creation of State Police, which may ultimately exacerbate existing challenges. “ By investing in sustainable initiatives, Northern states can create a more secure, prosperous, and harmonious society for all citizens,” he said
India's 26 major listed realty firms sell ₹35,000 crore worth properties in Q2; Godrej Properties at topDublin, Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "SiC Fibers Market by Type, Form, Phase, Usage, End-use Industry and Region - Global Forecast to 2031" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The SiC fibers market is estimated at USD 0.70 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 3.34 Billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 25% from 2024 to 2031. Third generation fiber's performance in ultra-high-temperature environments and their ability to withstand structural integrity over such long time intervals make them particularly useful for application in next-generation turbine engines including in LEAP engines and advanced power generation systems. In terms of value, continuous form of SiC fibers accounted for the largest share of the overall SiC fibers market. In 2023, continuous SiC fibers in SiC fibers market have the largest market share due to their ability to be easily integrated into advanced composite structures making them the choice for next-generation engine systems. For example, in LEAP engines, they play a very visible role. Continuous SiC fibers are becoming increasingly in demand as industries work towards getting closer and closer to lighter, stronger, and fuel-efficient materials. Thus, as the end-use industries seek advanced materials there is an expected increase in demand for continuous SiC fibers. In terms of value, the crystalline SiC fibers are projected to be the fastest growing phase of SiC fibers . Crystalline SiC fibers are projected to be the fastest-growing in phase segment in SiC fibers market, due to its advantages over other fibers. Oxide fibers, superalloys, and amorphous SiC fibers degrade very quickly at elevated temperatures. However, Sylramic SiC fibers which are a type of crystalline SiC fiber retain strength and stiffness to very high-temperature levels, above 1400C (2252F) due to the particular chemical composition, structure, and low oxygen content. It offers superior creep resistance along with thermal stability and is highly suitable for high-performance applications in aerospace, defense, and energy. Advances have been achieved in SiC fibers not only for breaking through functional barriers but also in response to increased demands for high-temperature-resistant materials in various sectors. In terms of value, the usage of SiC fibers in composites is projected to be the fastest in the forecast period. The fastest-growing usage of SiC fibers in composites is based on tremendous progress in material properties and the ability to withstand extreme conditions.
