NAICOM Highlights Challenges Of African Insurance MarketKR (Korean Register) has partnered with Sinokor Merchant Marine and HD Hyundai Marine Solution(HD HMS) to revolutionize ship maintenance through condition-based maintenance (CBM) technology powered by artificial intelligence. This pioneering collaboration will transform how vessels’ main engines and generators are monitored and maintained. The groundbreaking project will deploy advanced CBM systems on two Sinokor container ships, an 1,800 TEU and an 8,000 TEU vessel, drawing on each organization’s unique expertise. Unlike traditional scheduled maintenance, CBM technology enables real-time monitoring of equipment, triggering maintenance only when needed – significantly reducing operational costs while enhancing vessel reliability. This smart approach not only enhances efficiency, but represents a critical step toward digitalized and autonomous shipping. KR has been developing core technologies for fault diagnosis and prognosis since 2017, applying artificial intelligence (AI) to critical ship machinery such as engines, generators, pumps, and switchboards. This comprehensive work includes creating fault flowcharts, analyzing big data collected from experimental failure scenarios, and developing sophisticated AI models. To ensure seamless integration aboard vessels, KR has adopted Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) to develop full-lifecycle technical services. MoU Signing Ceremony for Joint Development Project of CBM technology for Ship’s Engine System As part of this joint project, Sinokor will provide maintenance history data, while HD HMS will supply past operational data. KR will develop big data analytics, AI algorithms, and software to apply the technology to real ships. KIM Daeheon, Executive Vice President of KR’s R&D Division, stated, “By applying CBM technology to ship engine rooms, this joint development project will serve as a significant foundation for transforming vessel maintenance and collecting big data to advance smart shipping technology. Moving forward, KR plans to expand CBM applications to various ship equipment, including low-flashpoint fuel supply systems and batteries, creating comprehensive lifecycle technical services that will drive the future of maritime operations.” Source: Korean Register
Mozambique's incoming president, Daniel Chapo, is a former provincial governor with no experience in national government who was little known before his surprise nomination as candidate for the ruling Frelimo party ahead of October elections. Maputo, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23rd Dec, 2024) 's incoming president, Daniel Chapo, is a former provincial with no experience in national who was little known before his surprise nomination as candidate for the ruling Frelimo party ahead of elections. The 47-year-old's victory at the poll was confirmed Monday when the Constitutional Council ratified the disputed results, although revising down his score 71 to 65 percent of votes. A neophyte at national , he will take over a deeply divided country, riven by some of the worst post-election unrest in its history. candidate Venancio Mondlane has refused to accept he lost, saying the count was rigged, and vowed "chaos" if the final confirmed Chapo's victory. Unrest since the has already claimed more than 130 lives. Chapo is due to officially take charge of the southern African country in , becoming 's first president born after in 1975, when Frelimo took power. He will succeed President Filipe Nyusi, whose maximum two-term tenure ends on 15. Tall and , Chapo will also be the country's first president not to have been a Frelimo fighter during the struggle or an ensuing 16-year civil war that ended in 1992 and is estimated to have claimed a lives. - 'Ordinary politician' - While it was expected that Frelimo would remain in power, Chapo's announcement as candidate for the presidential in was a major surprise, said researcher Borges Nhamirre the Institute for Security Studies based in . "We had never heard him -- no big interview, no interesting speech, no articles or paper, just someone who was like an ordinary politician," he told AFP. Chapo beat out three other contenders after rival factions in Frelimo could not come to an following two days of intense debates within its central committee. "They chose Chapo to be able to influence him. He will be very supervised," said an expert on condition of anonymity. This influence could particularly be used to appoint ministers in the key positions of defence, finance and natural resources, said Nhamirre. A fresh face meant to capture the support of disenchanted youth, Chapo was likely the pick of former Mozambican presidents Armando Guebuza and Joaquim Chissano, and not so much his predecessor Nyusi, analysts say. "There's not a lot of between Chapo and Nyusi," Maputo-based political and security risk analyst Johann Smith told AFP.
Josh Brolin Recalls Almost Fighting Denzel Washington on Set of American Gangster By and both starred in the 2007 crime film . But according to Brolin, the pair nearly fought while on set. What happened between Josh Brolin and Denzel Washington? Speaking during an appearance on the In Depth With Graham Bensinger podcast (via ), Brolin recalled how he thought he was going to get into a fight with Washington while on set after an incident between the pair. “Denzel was a little late to set and there was a whole thing there,” Brolin said. “And then he showed me the lines...he didn’t change any of my lines, but he kind of changed the structure of it. He said, ‘I think I’m gonna put this down here and I’m gonna put that up there.’ But he wouldn’t really look at me. “I was trying to remember the structure, and then we rehearsed,” he continued. “It wasn’t that many lines, mostly mine. And I’m supposed to be super confident. It’s Denzel Washington, man. It’s, like, not easy — you’re just some actor who they’re trying out, seeing if he’s the real thing or not. And I forgot a line.” Brolin said that he tried to ask Washington what the line was, and did so while placing a hand on his shoulder. What happened next, Brolin said, is that Washington slapped his hand away and yelled at him, causing Brolin to go on the defensive. “And he hit my hand off and he said, ‘Don’t ever fucking put your hand on me,’” Brolin remembered. “And I was like, ‘Holy shit, I’m gonna scrap with Denzel Washington. This is crazy.’ We’re not actors anymore — at least in my mind. In his mind, he was just doing his job. He was that guy. He was Frank Lucas, period. But I didn’t know. And then we got through that moment. I said, ‘Are you OK?’ He said, ‘Yeah. You?’ I said, ‘Yeah. Can I get my line?’ He said, ‘Go for it.’ It’s like he’d said what he needed to say.” Thankfully, things didn’t escalate, and Brolin said the pair “get along very well” nowadays. Their tension also made for a movie that was critically acclaimed, and earned two Oscar nominations, for Best Art Direction and Best Supporting Actress.

FLORENCE, Italy (AP) — Inter Milan beat Como 2-0 to cement third place in Serie A and close the gap on top two Atalanta and Napoli on Monday. Carlos Augusto got the opener when he headed home a corner kick in the 48th minute. Marcus Thuram scored the second in stoppage time with a potent strike into the roof of the net. It was the first time these teams have played each other in the top division since 2003 and although Inter had lost only one league game all season it struggled to impose itself on 15th-placed Como. However, it won without exerting itself and the three points were enough to take Simone Inzaghi’s men within three points of leader Atalanta and within one of Napoli. Inter has a game in hand over both clubs. Fiorentina missed a chance to go fourth when it lost at home to Udinese 2-1. The Florence club won a record eight consecutive Serie A games before losing to Bologna 1-0 on Dec. 15, and it looked to be back on track when Moises Kean converted a penalty after eight minutes to become the first Fiorentina player to reach double figures in the league since Federico Chiesa in the 2019-20 season. However, Udinese was a different prospect after the break. Lorenzo Lucca equalized with the aid of sloppy defending four minutes into the second half and then Florian Thauvin found space on the edge of the box to curl in the second eight minutes later. The result left Udinese in ninth place and Fiorentina in fifth. The match was a special one for Edoardo Bove, the Fiorentina player whose collapse with a heart issue led to the suspension of its game with Inter Milan on Dec. 1. Bove was fitted with a defibrillator implant soon after and sat on the Fiorentina bench for the first time since his collapse. He is not allowed to play but his position on the sideline alongside coach Raffaele Palladino was seen as a step towards normality for the 22-year-old midfielder. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerThe number of municipal councillors rejecting the use of the notwithstanding clause to clear encampments has increased, boosting them to form a coalition as a call to action on National Housing Day. Currently, 72 elected municipal leaders have formed a group to stand up “for foundational democratic principles and advocating for transparent, accountable governance,” stated a Friday release, and have rereleased its letter against 15 mayors calling for use of the clause. Cambridge Mayor Jan Liggett and Guelph Mayor Cam Guthrie are among the group asking Premier Doug Ford to implement the notwithstanding clause when it comes to clearing encampments in cities. Cambridge council’s vote to back the notwithstanding clause was 6-3, with councillors Scott Hamilton, Ross Earnshaw and Sheri Roberts against. Besides Earnshaw, Hamilton and Roberts joining the coalition, regional councillors Rob Deutschmann, Pam Wolf, Doug Craig, Chantal Huinink and Colleen James, and Kitchener councillors Debbie Chapman and Kari Williams are involved. “History shows us time and time again that it’s an incredibly slippery slope for politicians to remove the rights of any Canadian citizen in order to suit a political goal or objective — especially when persons losing their rights are part of the most vulnerable and marginalized segments of our society,” Hamilton said in the release. “I personally feel that invoking the notwithstanding clause is not the route to take, and we, as a city, province, and country, should not go down this dangerous path and open this Pandora’s box.” The coalition is calling on the province to commit resources for “evidence-based” solutions to the homelessness crisis in the province, and the 15 mayors to rescind their letters. Members of the coalition in Barrie, Cambridge, Chatham-Kent, Guelph, St. Catharines, Oakville, and Windsor, the release stated, confirm their councils were not consulted before the use of the notwithstanding clause was requested by their respective mayors. The coalition believes the request by the mayors, in bypassing council debate, let alone bypassing public consultation, is not within the scope of legislated strong-mayor powers. The call for the use of the notwithstanding clause, especially in circumstances related to vulnerable and unhoused persons, represents “unaccountable governance and the undermining of local democracy.” “The notwithstanding clause was intended to be reserved for matters of very serious consequence — certainly not for municipal matters,” said London Coun. Sam Trosow, who is also a law professor at Western University. “The Ford government has used or entertained using it inappropriately on several occasions, including a city ward dispute, a labour dispute, and now homeless policy. This is excessive and wrong.”

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra said she is ready to participate in the House general session when it convenes on Thursday. The premier told the media after Wednesday's cabinet meeting that she would announce the government's 90-day performance and outline its policies for next year when parliament resumes. However, this is not the time for her to answer questions from the opposition, she added. Ms Paetongtarn said she has delegated that responsibility to deputy prime ministers or ministers who are directly responsible for the issues raised. "Having them answer questions will be more direct and will provide more in-depth details. But of course, I have an intention to join (the interpellation session). I will not abandon my responsibilities," said the prime minister when asked about the People's Party's request that she attend to answer in person. She said Thursday was not the right time for that because she had to deliver a performance announcement, and many senior civil servants would also be participating. Opposition whip chief Pakornwut Udompipatskul said interpellation sessions are set down every Thursday, so the opposition has prepared questions to ask the premier. That task will be performed by Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, leader of the People's Party, he said. "We know the prime minister will discuss the government's performance at a meeting on Dec 12, which coincides with the opening day of the parliamentary session. However, we have already informed her that we have questions to ask her," Mr Pakornwut said. "There is another way: for the prime minister to recognise the importance of parliament, which represents the public, and that a parliamentary majority voted her to be prime minister. If she sees that she should give importance to checks and balances, she should address the questions we have. This should build confidence on many matters for the public," he said. A no-confidence motion would be moved against the government this session. The opposition will keep the important questions for the premier and wait until she is ready, Mr Pakornwut added.

’Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: “Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!” As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky; So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of Toys, and St. Nicholas too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.” — “A Visit From St. Nicholas,” by Clement Clarke Moore Get local news delivered to your inbox!NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes drifted amid mixed trading Monday, ahead of this week’s upcoming meeting by the Federal Reserve that could set Wall Street’s direction into next year. The S&P 500 rose 0.4%, coming off its first losing week in the last four . The Nasdaq composite climbed 1.2% to a record, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was a laggard and fell 110 points, or 0.3%. Broadcom leaped 11.2% to help lead the S&P 500 for a second straight day after delivering a profit report last week that beat analysts’ expectations. The technology company is riding a wave of enthusiasm about its artificial-intelligence offerings in particular. The market’s main event, though, will arrive on Wednesday when the Federal Reserve will announce its last move on interest rates for the year. The widespread expectation is that it will cut its main rate for a third straight time, as it tries to boost the slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its target of 2%. The question is how much more it will cut rates next year, and Fed officials will release projections for where they see the federal funds rate ending 2025, along with other economic indicators, once their meeting concludes. Fed Chair Jerome Powell will also answer questions in a press conference following the meeting. For now, the general expectation among traders is that the Fed may cut a couple more times in 2025, according to data from CME Group. But such expectations have been shrinking following reports suggesting inflation may be tougher to get all the way down to 2% from here. Besides last month’s slight acceleration in inflation, another worry is that President-elect Donald Trump’s preferences for tariffs and other policies could lead to higher inflation down the line. Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle has dropped his earlier forecast of a cut by the Fed in January, for example. Beyond the possibility of tariffs, he said Fed officials may also want to slow their cuts because of uncertainty about exactly how low rates need to go so that they no longer press the brakes on the economy. Expectations for a series of cuts to rates by the Fed have been one of the main reasons the S&P 500 has set an all-time high 57 times so far this year and is heading for one of its best years of the millennium . The economy has held up better than many feared, continuing to grow even after the Fed hiked the federal funds rate to a two-decade high in hopes of grinding down on inflation, which topped 9% two summers ago. On Wall Street, MicroStrategy jumped as much as 7% during the day as it continues to benefit from the surging price for bitcoin , which set another all-time high. But its stock ended the day down by les than 0.1% after bitcoin’s price pulled back below $106,000 after setting a record above $107,700, according to CoinDesk. The software company has been building its hoard of the cryptocurrency, and its stock price has more than sextupled this year. It will also soon join the Nasdaq 100 index. Bitcoin’s price has catapulted from roughly $44,000 at the start of the year, riding a recent wave of enthusiasm that Trump will create a system that’s more favorable to digital currencies . Honeywell rose 3.7% after saying it’s still considering a spin-off or sale of its aerospace business, as part of a review of its overall business. It said it plans to give an update with the release of its fourth-quarter results. They helped offset a drop for Nvidia, whose chips are powering much of the world’s move into AI. Its stock fell 1.7%. Because it’s grown so massive, with a total value topping $3 trillion, it was the single heaviest weight on the S&P 500. All told, the S&P 500 rose 22.99 points to 6,074.08. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 110.58 to 43,717.48, and the Nasdaq composite rose 247.17 to 20,173.89. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury edged down to 4.39% from 4.40% late Friday. The two-year yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, eased to 4.24% from 4.25%. In stock markets abroad, indexes fell modestly across much of Europe and Asia. They sank 0.9% in Hong Kong and 0.2% in Shanghai after China reported lackluster economic indicators for November despite attempts to strengthen the world’s second-largest economy. South Korea’s Kospi fell 0.2% as law enforcement authorities pushed to summon impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol for questioning over his short-lived martial law decree, and the Constitutional Court met to discuss whether to remove him from office or reinstate him.

Business lessons from Salt TyphoonDALLAS — Willy Adames makes the San Francisco Giants a better baseball team. He fills a position of need. He provides . In Buster Posey’s estimation, Adames and Matt Chapman, who , represent baseball’s best left side of the infield. But Adames alone does not elevate the Giants to contention status. Adames alone doesn’t guarantee they’ll be a playoff team. So when Posey was asked if it was fair to say that the team still has multiple holes to fill, the Giants’ president of baseball operations didn’t entirely disagree. “I think baseball is unique in the sense that that’s probably true for any team,” Posey said. Posey has repeated his goal to build a team with strong defense and pitching. Adames, one of baseball’s better defensive shortstops, addresses the former. With Adames in place, Posey and general manager Zack Minasian can turn their attention to addressing the latter. , as currently constructed, features Logan Webb, Robbie Ray, Jordan Hicks, Kyle Harrison and Hayden Birdsong. (Posey said on Monday that Hicks will be a starter.) Mason Black, Landon Roupp, Keaton Winn and Carson Whisenhunt could contribute innings as well. The Giants have options but after Webb, their rotation features a lot of variance. Ray has only pitched 34 innings over the last two seasons after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023. Hicks battled fatigue in his first season as a full-time starter. Harrison experienced a velocity dip as he threw a career-high 124 1/3 innings. Birdsong flashed excellent stuff but struggled with command. The best way for the Giants to reduce that variance is by acquiring external talent. The list of available free agents thinned out a bit during the Winter Meetings as left-hander Max Fried and right-handers Nathan Eovaldi and Alex Cobb signed deals, but plenty of arms remain unsigned. That list includes Corbin Burnes, Jack Flaherty, Sean Manaea, among others. With Fried receiving an eight-year, $218 million deal from the Yankees, Burnes stands to sign a deal in the $250 million range. “Anytime there’s players available, we’re going to look at them,” Minasian said on Monday. “I think most players who get to free agency have earned it through their career, so usually they’re pretty good. And (we are) just continuing to look at those options and balancing the cost and our internal opportunity that we can offer.” Another one of those options is , whose agent, Joel Wolfe, . The Dodgers and Padres are the favorites to land “The Monster of the Reiwa Era,” but Wolfe outlined that the process will be open-ended with Sasaki willing to consider different options. “My advice to Roki is to go in with an open mind,” Wolfe said. Minasian, who has spent time scouting the NPB and KBO, has had Sasaki on his radar dating back to Sasaki’s amateur days, describing the right-hander as a “special arm” with “huge, raw stuff.” When asked what makes San Francisco an alluring destination, Minasian cited Oracle Park’s pitcher-friendly dimensions; direct flights to Tokyo and Osaka; the culture of the city and organization; and a fan base “hungry for the star player.” “With the rules, we haven’t gotten to know him personally, but certainly done a lot of homework,” Minasian said. “We feel like we have a good sense of what makes him tick and we feel like it’s a situation we can make very comfortable for him, just give him the best chance for success as a big-league pitcher.” Along with the rotation, the Giants will continue to explore options in the outfield. San Francisco can currently roll out an outfield of Heliot Ramos in left, Jung Hoo Lee in center and Mike Yastrzemski, who agreed to a one-year, $9.25 million deal , in right. Despite having those three in place, San Francisco expressed interest in right fielder Kyle Tucker, a pending free agent, according to . Over the last five seasons, Tucker has earned three All-Star selections, a Silver Slugger Award and a Gold Glove Award, posting an .883 OPS and totaling 121 home runs. The Giants would likely need to package multiple prospects to acquire him, and Minasian is confident in San Francisco’s stable of minor leaguers. “I do believe we have the minor-league talent to entice a team to consider us in a trade,” Minasian said. Circling back to the infield, LaMonte Wade Jr. is currently slated as San Francisco’s starting first baseman, but Posey and Minasian both said the Giants will explore their options. Wade has the 11th-best on-base percentage in baseball since 2023 (min. 900 plate appearances), but the soon-to-be 31-year-old has dealt with injuries during his time in San Francisco. “LaMonte’s a special player,” Posey said on Monday, citing his on-base ability. “He plays solid defense. I think we’re just trying as much as anything to keep options on the table.” Bryce Eldrige, the Giants’ top prospect per MLB Pipeline, could also see time at first base next season. The 20-year-old skyrocketed through the Giants’ system, hitting .291/.374/.516 with 23 homers and 92 RBIs across four levels and ending the season with eight games at Triple-A Sacramento. For as well as Eldridge played, he isn’t a lock to make his major-league debut next season. “You never want to say never, but I think it is somewhat fair to temper expectations from my end just because — whether is this is right or wrong — I’m looking at it like he should be entering his sophomore year of college,” Posey said. “We see the upside for this guy being tremendous and (want) to make sure that he gets the experience that he needs before he’s thrown into the fire.”Hindu organisations have started a signature campaign appealing to the Prime Minister and theMinister for Law and Justiceto fast-track the court hearings in the Kashi Gyanvapi and Mathura Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi disputes. The groups, including the Hindu Janjagruti Sangh, said that the cases are of historical, religious, and social importance and restoration of the Kashi and Mathura shrines are 'of national importance' and 'a pivotal point in the struggle for the existence of Hindus'. Temples hold extraordinary significance in Sanatan Dharma and have played a crucial role in preserving, protecting, and upholding Bharatiya culture and traditions, the letter says.The groups said that there is historical evidence that the Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi was demolished during the reign of Mughal king Aurangzeb in 1669 and the Gyanvapi mosque constructed on the remains of the temple. A study by the Archaeological Survey of India confirms the existence of a temple beneath the site, the letter says. Similarly, the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple in Mathura was also demolished on the orders of Aurangzeb in 1670, the letter says.The letter further adds that the Kashi and Mathura are as emotionally significant to Hindus as the Ram Mandir and while it took over 75 years for the Ram Mandir case to be resolved in independent India's courts, Hindus hope that such prolonged delays do not occur for Kashi and Mathura. Following the Supreme Court’s verdict handing over the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi to the Hindus, there is a fervent demand among Hindus for the restoration of sacred sites like Kashi and Mathura, which were similarly desecrated during the Mughal invasions, the letter says. The groups have called for fast-track courts similar to the ones established to ensure swift justice in important legal cases. '... similar urgency must be shown for cases concerning the faith of a billion Hindus. These are not ordinary temples but central to the spiritual and cultural lives of Hindus', the letter adds.'It is unfortunate that while the truth regarding Hindu temples is there for all to see, these cases remain unresolved. These sites of historical and religious significance still await justice. Justice delayed is justice denied — therefore, the prolonged delay in delivering judgments on the Kashi and Mathura matters amounts to injustice.'Delays in cases concerning Kashi and Mathura may lead to unrest and erode the common man’s faith in the judiciary, the letter adds.
