Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (77) questions a call by referee Sean Wright (4) during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Monday, Dec. 23, 2024, in Dallas. (AP Photo) DALLAS — Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks is the latest professional athlete whose home has been burglarized. The star guard’s business manager told multiple media outlets Saturday there was a break-in at Doncic’s home. Lara Beth Seager said nobody was home at the time of the incident Friday night, and Doncic filed a police report. Jewelry valued at about $30,000 was stolen, the Dallas Morning News reported, according to an internal police report it obtained. “I’ve reached out to Luka and talked to him after that incident,” coach Jason Kidd said Saturday night before the Mavericks played the Portland Trail Blazers. “He’s fine. Glad no one got hurt.” Doncic, 25, who is from Slovenia, is the sixth known pro athlete in the U.S. whose home was burglarized since October. Star NFL quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City and Joe Burrow of Cincinnati are among them, along with Mahomes’ tight end, Travis Kelce. The others were Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr. The NFL and NBA issued security alerts to their players after the break-ins, some of which have come when players were away with their teams for road games. The NFL’s alert says homes of professional athletes across multiple sports have become “increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.” Burrow lamented a loss of privacy over having to acknowledge that he was the victim of a break-in. The incident at Doncic’s home came two days after the five-time All-NBA player strained his left calf in a Christmas Day loss to the Timberwolves. The injury is expected to sideline Doncic for about a month. Subscribe to our daily newsletter By providing an email address.

The flight is part of a series of demonstration flights showcasing Boom’s intention to bring commercial supersonic travel back to America’s skyways. The rising costs of supersonic travel were slowly killing the industry even before the Concorde’s final flight in 2003. But private companies and federal agencies are devising ways to repopularize the previously deafening way of getting around, and the recent Boom flight inches the company closer to that goal. The XB-1’s eighth flight took place on November 16, and achieved a maximum altitude of 25,040 feet (7,632 meters), its highest altitude so far. The flight lasted 54 minutes and the aircraft achieved a top flight speed of Mach 0.82, tying its record speed to date. The demonstrator aircraft’s first flight took place in March 2024, and Boom plans approximately two more subsonic flights before achieving Mach 1. Mach 1 is the speed of sound—about 767 miles per hour (1,234 km/hr). When objects exceed the speed of sound, they induce a sonic boom—the sharp, thunderous crack of an object breaking the sound barrier. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) prohibited civil supersonic flight over land in 1973, due in part to the constant sonic booms overhead and the booms’ rattling of windows freaking people out. Boom Supersonic’s work on the XB-1 runs parallel to NASA’s development of the X-59 supersonic aircraft, which won a Gizmodo Science Fair award this year. At 99.7 feet (30.39 meters) long with a wingspan of just 29.5 feet (9 m), the stiletto-shaped X-59 has an arguably more eye-catching design than the XB-1. That’s because the X-59’s raison d’ětre is to mitigate the sonic boom that caused so much uproar when supersonic flight was more common. One NASA engineer told Gizmodo that, to an observer on the ground, the X-59’s sonic boom will sound akin to the closing of a car door. In other words, the sonic boom will become a sonic thump. Boom’s ultimate goal is to run commercial passengers on its Overture jet, for which the XB-1 is a technology demonstrator. Though the Boom XB-1 will be capable of exceeding the sound barrier, the company plans to fly its passenger jet at reduced speeds over land—specifically, at Mach 0.94, about 20% faster than subsonic flight. Meanwhile, supersonic enthusiasts are hoping that the X-59 proves the “sonic thump” can mitigate the impact of sonic booms over land. After the aircraft’s in-flight performance is tested, the plane will be flown over several U.S. cities and residents will be surveyed on the invasiveness of the aircraft’s presence. If the aircraft doesn’t disrupt life on the ground, the FAA may change its regulations surrounding civilian aircraft traveling faster than Mach 1 over land. That would not happen until 2027 at the earliest, so you may as well keep your focus on the Boom demonstrator for now.You can ring in 2025 this Tuesday night at London’s free New Year’s Eve in the Park celebration.

For some it’s a day to cringe at the one song they had on repeat for a period of their lives, for others it’s a day to proudly gloat at their niche and obscure tastes in music. But for many LGBTQIA+ people, this Spotify Wrapped was a day to ask “where are we on the list?”. Each year on the day of Spotify Wrapped, the most streamed artists and songs around the world are revealed. While the most streamed artist in America was Taylor Swift, it’s notable that there were no other women on that list, nor were there any LGBTQIA+ artists mentioned at all. However controversial men like Kanye West, who has been known to ally with President-Elect Donald Trump and spew all kinds of dogmatic, antisemitic rhetoric, and Kendrick Lamar who in his song, ‘Auntie diaries’, used a homophobic slur ten times, made the list. These men are who streaming services have chosen over queer women artists, this is what Spotify considers worthwhile to the platform. The most streamed song list was marginally less dismal, with one straight woman, Sabrina Carpenter, and two queer women, Chappell Roan and Billie Eilish. However it’s still off-putting that out of a list of 10 songs 70% of them were made by straight men. How we find (or get suggestions for) music in Australia In Australia, the number one most streamed artist was Taylor Swift, with Billie Eilish in fourth place. Since the lists are decided by streaming numbers, it would be fair to assume that LGBTQIA+ artists have lucked out in a majority rule situation. However, that assumption doesn’t consider what makes the majority’s music tastes tick. According to the New York based research firm, Luminate , 41% of Australians find new music through streaming services like Spotify. A common way of finding music on spotify is by perusing the algorithm based playlists known as mixes. These playlists contain music that the user already listens to, as well as recommendations from the algorithm. If Spotify decides to promote a specific artist, the user will be bombarded with that artist’s music in their mixes and in other algorithm based recommendations. What this means is that the platform has more power over who makes it into their lists than what meets the eye. It makes no sense that women and queer artists aren’t being represented more in the data Spotify broadcasts, when there are a vast amount of famous artists in these categories with promotable music . Should Spotify be doing more to champion LGBTQIA+ representation in music? While it is an unfortunate fact that women and LGBTQIA+ artists do not receive the same acclaim that straight men do in the music industry, Spotify should be doing more to platform diversity where they can. The lists are a reflection not only of the average listener’s disregard for what women and the LGBTQ community bring to the music table, but also of the way in which spotify has clearly chosen to feed into this disregard so as not to challenge people’s existing listening habits. Platforms have stuck with a formula that makes them vast profits, but also limits the reach of those who challenge the mainstream to the point that many artists consider the Algorithms these sites use to be more of a strangling force than a helpful tool to progress as musicians. If Spotify wants to consider itself a platform that champions musical diversity, then it should at the very least have data to show for such a claim. It isn’t unreasonable when women and the LGBTQIA+ community has contributed unquantifiable amounts to music across various genres that listeners should be able to expect more recognition for these artists labour. There are LGBTQ women making music that are worthy of as much praise as what the men in the industry are getting, however these artists are not receiving the same attention that others in the industry are and until streaming platforms promote these artists as much as they promote straight men, this problem will not be fixed.

Though the Boom XB-1 will be capable of exceeding the sound barrier, the company plans to fly its passenger jet at reduced speeds over land—specifically, at Mach 0.94, about 20% faster than subsonic flight. Meanwhile, supersonic enthusiasts are hoping that the X-59 proves the “sonic thump” can mitigate the impact of sonic booms over land. After the aircraft’s in-flight performance is tested, the plane will be flown over several U.S. cities and residents will be surveyed on the invasiveness of the aircraft’s presence. If the aircraft doesn’t disrupt life on the ground, the FAA may change its regulations surrounding civilian aircraft traveling faster than Mach 1 over land. That would not happen until 2027 at the earliest, so you may as well keep your focus on the Boom demonstrator for now.— BIRTH NAME: James Earl Carter, Jr. — BORN: Oct. 1, 1924, at the Wise Clinic in Plains, Georgia, the first U.S. president born in a hospital.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Wade Taylor IV scored 19 points, Zhuric Phelps hit a go-ahead 3-pointer during an 11-0 run and finished with 12 points, and 22nd-ranked Texas A&M beat Texas Tech 72-67 on Sunday in the first meeting of the former conference rivals since 2012. Phelps' 3 with 7 1/2 minutes left made it 54-52 and put the Aggies (8-2) ahead to stay. His step-back jumper after hard contact with Tech's Kevin Overton capped the game-turning spurt. Jace Carter scored 13 of his 16 points in the first half as Texas A&M won its fourth straight game. Chance McMillian had 23 points with five 3s for Tech (7-2). Overton scored 14 of his 17 points before halftime, when he hit four 3s. Texas Tech played its second game in a row without leading scorer and rebounder JT Toppin (18.6 ppg/11 rpg) because of what the school said is a lower-body injury for the 6-foot-9 forward. Texas A&M made all eight of its free throws in the final 27 seconds, four by Taylor, while Tech made three 3s in the final minute. Texas A&M led 23-12 in the first half on a 3-pointer by Carter, that opened a 45-second exchange of two 3s each by he and Overton. The second 3 by Overton started a 9-0 run that got the Red Raiders within 26-24. The Aggies and Red Raiders played at least twice annually between 1958-2012 while members of the old Southwest Conference and then the original Big 12 before Texas A&M went to the SEC. Their first non-conference meeting since 1953 was at Dickies Arena, a neutral site. Texas A&M plays No. 8 Purdue in Indianapolis on Sunday. Texas Tech hosts Oral Roberts on Dec. 16.

DFCC Bank led the way among financial institutions to issue the first green bond in the country, aimed at funding renewable energy projects particularly in the solar energy sector. This has been followed by Alliance Finance announcing the plans to issue redeemable green bonds to raise Rs. 1 billion. The issuance of green bonds by these institutions is an encouraging sign, especially in the context of global and local climate change concerns. As the world grapples with the impacts of climate change, these initiatives are crucial for driving the transition to a low-emission economy. With Sri Lanka’s commitment to achieve net zero carbon status by 2050, the adoption of green finance instruments is a positive step towards mitigating environmental risks and fostering sustainable development. While green bonds are promising, the current focus remains largely on the aspects of issuance and uptake. It should be noted that the success of Green Bonds depends not only on their issuance but also on their effective deployment towards projects that genuinely contribute to environmental sustainability. MTI recently completed the Green Finance Taxonomy for the Maldives and was appointed as an Observer Organisation of the Green Climate Fund. Thus, a critical question arises: Does Sri Lanka have the necessary green finance ecosystem, infrastructure, and impact measurement mechanisms to ensure that the funds raised through Green Bonds are effectively deployed to mitigate climate change? A robust green finance ecosystem is essential to provide clear guidelines, regulatory frameworks, and impact measurement tools to track the environmental benefits of the projects funded by green bonds. A national green finance taxonomy plays a crucial role in this context. A well-defined taxonomy provides a framework for classifying and evaluating green projects, ensuring that the funds are directed towards genuinely sustainable initiatives to prevent greenwashing. The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) launched Sri Lanka’s national green taxonomy in 2022 to classify economic activities that can be considered as ‘Green’. The directions issued by CBSL require financial institutions to follow; Allocation reporting – to ensure alignment of use of proceeds by green financing instruments with the taxonomy and Impact reporting – to assess the impact made by providing finance to a green project Yet, providing specific and comparable impact reporting guidelines remains unaddressed. Public accountability is another vital aspect. Linking green bond issuance to measurable impact ensures transparency and accountability. It is essential for financial institutions to regularly report on the environmental outcomes of the projects funded by green bonds. This not only builds trust among investors but also ensures that the funds are making a tangible difference in addressing climate change. In conclusion, the issuance of green bonds by Sri Lankan financial institutions marks a significant advancement towards sustainable finance. However, to fully realise the potential of these green bonds, it is crucial to establish a robust green finance ecosystem with comprehensive impact measurement mechanisms to achieve a greener and more sustainable future.
