A cheerful song by one of the most successful K-pop girl groups has emerged as a protest anthem for thousands of South Koreans rallying for President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment. "There's a rough road ahead of us," sang the demonstrators in unison, gathered daily outside parliament since last week after Yoon briefly imposed martial law, only to reverse the decision after facing pressure from lawmakers. As an impeachment vote for the embattled president looms, protesters chant mocking rhymes and sing K-pop in their daily demonstrations, with one song serving as a clarion call for his removal -- Girls' Generation's "Into the New World". "With the unknowable future and obstacles, I won't change and I can't give up," protesters sing, dancing to the upbeat song with hopeful lyrics. "We will (do it) together no matter how long it takes in my new world." This is not the first time the Girls' Generation's bop has made an appearance in politics -- the single released in 2007 first got harnessed nine years later during student demonstrations at Ewha Womans University. What started as a campus protest on South Korea's top women's university in 2016 intensified due to the school's link to former president Park Geun-hye's corruption scandal, eventually leading to Park's dramatic impeachment the following year. Viral footage showed Ewha students singing "Into the New World" and linking arms while engaged in a standoff with the police. The song's "grassroots power made (it) an emblem for the various protests since then," Jiyeon Kang, a Korean studies professor at University of Iowa, told AFP. It "encapsulates... the courage to stand against perceived injustice even when the odds of success are slim, and the comfort of finding a supportive community," she said. Used as an activism tool, "Into the New World" is frequently featured in South Korea's annual queer parade and also blared during a rally supporting the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong. Girls' Generation, whose youngest member was 16 when they debuted in 2007, remains one of the most successful K-pop groups of all time. Member Yuri said in a 2017 interview she had cried while watching the video of their song sung during the university protests. "It was a moment when I felt a great sense of pride as a singer," Yuri said. For protester Han You-jin, the song is a familiar one as she was just a year old when it debuted. "Singing this song, which I've known my whole life, alongside so many other people from different age groups has been special," the 18-year-old told AFP after she sang it with thousands outside parliament. This reception is a far cry from how the song was received in 2016 by some commentators calling it inappropriate for protests, said Ewha University alumna Kim Ye-ji, who recalled it as a way for students to "raise their voices". "I have seen the world change first-hand a few years ago," she told AFP, remembering her friends being removed by authorities and "a sense of violence" epitomising her protest days, before it resulted in a presidential impeachment. "I believe we will navigate well through this as well."
In 2023, the Magnificent Seven stocks—Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta Platforms, and Tesla—proved their worth with substantial gains, dominating market movements. In 2024, their performance has continued to impress, further solidifying their significant influence on the market. Due to their massive market capitalizations, these stocks hold outsized influence on the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 indexes, driving broader market trends. Here’s a closer look at each of them: 1. Nvidia (NVDA) - +183.2% YTD Nvidia has been a standout performer in 2024, with a massive 183.2% year-to-date (YTD) gain. The company continues to be the leader in AI and GPU technologies, benefiting from surging demand for AI-powered applications and its dominant position in the AI chip market. Nvidia's Q3 earnings exceeded Wall Street expectations, with a substantial increase in both earnings and revenue compared to last year. However, the stock recently faced a 3% decline amid reports of an investigation in China for anti-monopoly violations. Despite this setback, Nvidia's growth prospects in the AI space remain robust, and it continues to be a key driver of the tech sector.《TAIPEI TIMES》 AIT head, Lai attend Take Action
For Libra natives, the week of December 29, 2024, to January 4, 2025, promises a dynamic blend of restlessness, renewed confidence, and unexpected social connections. As the final days of December merge into the new year, you might find your energy levels fluctuating. Early in the period—particularly around the 30th—feelings of laziness or mental fatigue could weigh on you, making it tempting to procrastinate. However, this sense of unease quickly transforms into a spur for self-improvement, as you realize how important it is to balance relaxation with purposeful action. By midweek (especially around the 31st and the 1st), you may be busier than usual, shouldering additional responsibilities either at home or work. This heightened workload could cause some mental tension, but it also boosts your self-assurance. You can confidently tackle tasks that have been on the back burner for weeks, seizing the momentum that comes with the turn of the year. Socially, you might reconnect with friends or meet new acquaintances, particularly through a neighbor’s event or a small community gathering. By the time the weekend nears, a sense of joy and renewal pervades your daily life. You feel readier to push aside lingering doubts and step into 2025 with clear direction and optimism. Love & Relationship Love and relationship matters evolve gradually this week, starting with an undercurrent of mild tension. You might feel a bit irritable or impatient in romantic scenarios early on—especially if you’re juggling multiple tasks or dealing with unresolved concerns from the holiday season. Nonetheless, the New Year vibe around the 31st and 1st of January softens your mood, inviting more laughter and closeness. If you’re single, you might be introduced to someone through a friend or relative, potentially sparking a new bond with long-term promise. Those already in committed partnerships could find that minor arguments crop up from differences in opinion. The key here is to practice honesty without being overly critical. Libras thrive on harmonious communication, so remind yourself to approach sensitive topics gently. By the end of the week, you’ll likely experience greater warmth in your connections, especially if you plan a simple get-together or a relaxing date night at home. The weekend offers an opportunity for deeper emotional understanding and renewed closeness. Education & Career Academically, Libras may have a promising outlook this week. Although the beginning of the week may see a sluggish feeling—both mentally and physically—your confidence in your abilities slowly builds. If you’re a student, you might feel compelled to study harder around the midweek phase, particularly on December 31 and January 1, when distractions abound but your determination to succeed intensifies. Collaborative efforts, such as group studies or discussions with classmates, could pay off. Career-wise, Libras in service jobs or self-employment may feel a sense of progress. The planets indicate a burst of energy at work around midweek, coupled with the chance to make new contacts. Be mindful of potential overwork, as you might inadvertently take on more tasks than you can comfortably handle. This period is ideal for showcasing your diplomatic skills—coordinate team projects, mediate any workplace conflicts, and demonstrate how your balanced approach can yield positive outcomes. By week’s end, you’ll likely have garnered recognition from peers and superiors alike. Money & Finance From a financial standpoint, this period encourages a measured approach. Early in the week, you might notice small but unexpected expenses trickling in—perhaps related to household repairs, travel, or social obligations as New Year’s festivities continue. Keep track of your budget to prevent unnecessary strain. The good news is that any outflow of money is likely to be offset by opportunities to earn or save in creative ways, such as cutting back on non-essential spending or receiving a helping hand from family members. If you’ve been eyeing new investment opportunities—speculative trades, real estate prospects, or joint ventures—wait until your mind feels clear and confident. Around January 1 and 2, you may encounter improved luck in financial decisions, but make certain you’ve done thorough research before committing resources. The week’s end sees your finances stabilizing, especially if you maintain diligence about your goals. Health & Well-being Libras typically strive for equilibrium in all aspects of life, and this week underscores the importance of wellness routines. Early on, restlessness and slight fatigue may tempt you to skip exercise or rely on quick-fix meals, but your body will thank you for prioritizing more wholesome habits. Incorporate light stretches or a brisk walk into your day to help manage stress and maintain energy levels. Midweek festivities or social engagements could disrupt your usual sleep schedule. Whenever possible, carve out calm moments—take a short nap, practice mindfulness, or indulge in a warm bath to unwind. If you’re battling mild tension headaches or stiffness in the shoulders, gentle yoga or soothing music can be effective remedies. By the weekend, a more rhythmic routine emerges, offering you the mental and physical balance you crave. You’ll greet the upcoming week with renewed vigor, feeling aligned and ready to move forward on your personal and professional paths.

The S&P/TSX composite index closed up 354.22 points at 25,390.68. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 461.88 points at 43,870.35. The S&P 500 index was up 31.60 points at 5,948.71, while the Nasdaq composite was up 6.28 points at 18,972.42. The Nasdaq lagged an otherwise decent day for Wall St., rising just 0.03 per cent as it was dragged down by Google parent Alphabet and some of its tech giant peers. The tech company’s stock fell 4.6 per cent after U.S. regulators asked a judge to break it up by forcing a sale of the Chrome web browser. Amazon shares traded down 2.2 per cent while Meta and Apple both moved lower as well. After a substantial run for major tech stocks this year, that kind of news “shakes people a bit,” said John Zechner, chairman and lead equity manager at J. Zechner Associates. Meanwhile, semiconductor giant Nvidia saw its stock tick up modestly by 0.5 per cent after it reported earnings Wednesday evening. The company yet again beat expectations for profit and revenue, and gave a better revenue forecast for the current quarter than expected. But expectations for Nvidia have been so high amid the optimism over artificial intelligence that even beating forecasts wasn’t enough to send its stock flying the way it has in previous quarters, said Zechner. Nvidia essentially caps earnings season in the U.S., with companies largely beating expectations, said Zechner — though those expectations weren’t exactly lofty for companies outside the tech and AI sphere, he added. The Dow led major U.S. markets as the post-election hopes for economic growth continued to fuel a broadening of market strength, said Zechner. There are a lot of unknowns when it comes to U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, said Zechner, and there’s no guarantee he will do what he’s promised. “There’s a lot of unknowns, but for now the markets seem to be assuming that whatever comes of this, the U.S. will continue to lead global growth,” he said. However, some of Trump’s promises — chief among them widespread tariffs on imports — have sparked bets that inflation may rear its head again. The market has pared back its expectations for interest rate cuts as a result, said Zechner. “Nobody’s talking about a half-point cut, that’s for sure,” he said. The Canadian dollar traded for 71.63 cents US compared with 71.46 cents US on Wednesday. The January crude oil contract was up US$1.35 at US$70.10 per barrel and the January natural gas contract was up nine cents at US$3.48 per mmBTU. The December gold contract was up US$23.20 at US$2,674.90 an ounce and the December copper contract was down three cents at US$4.13 a pound. — With files from The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 21, 2024.

Secret Service director touts changes as Congress presses him on Trump assassination attemptTAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Shaquil Barrett is rejoining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs signed the two-time Super Bowl champion on Saturday, while also announcing safety Jordan Whitehead was activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s home game against the Carolina Panthers. Barrett spent five seasons with Tampa Bay from 2019 to 2023. He led the NFL with a franchise-record 19 1-2 sacks in his first year with the Bucs, then helped the team win its second Super Bowl title the following season. In all, Barrett started 70 games with Tampa Bay, amassing 45 sacks, 15 forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and three interceptions. He was released last winter in a salary cap move, signed a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins in free agency, then abruptly announced his retirement on social media before the start of training camp in July. Barrett, who also won a Super Bowl during a four-season stint with the Denver Broncos, decided to unretire last month. He signed with the Bucs after clearing waivers earlier in the week. Whitehead has missed the past four games with a pectoral injury. His return comes of the heels of the Bucs placing safety Christian Izien on IR with a pectoral injury. On Saturday, the Bucs also activated rookie wide receiver Kameron Johnson from IR and elevated punter Jack Browning to the active roster from the practice squad. ___ NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
BJP’s Stunning Comeback In Maharashtra After LS Shock: Women, Hindutva, RSS Among Top 5 FormulasBy MICHAEL R. SISAK and JENNIFER PELTZ NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers urged a judge again Friday to throw out his hush money conviction, balking at the prosecution’s suggestion of preserving the verdict by treating the case the way some courts do when a defendant dies. They called the idea “absurd.” Related Articles National Politics | Trump wants to turn the clock on daylight saving time National Politics | Ruling by a conservative Supreme Court could help blue states resist Trump policies National Politics | A nonprofit leader, a social worker: Here are the stories of the people on Biden’s clemency list National Politics | Nancy Pelosi hospitalized after she ‘sustained an injury’ on official trip to Luxembourg National Politics | Veteran Daniel Penny, acquitted in NYC subway chokehold, will join Trump’s suite at football game The Manhattan district attorney’s office is asking Judge Juan M. Merchan to “pretend as if one of the assassination attempts against President Trump had been successful,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in a blistering 23-page response. In court papers made public Tuesday, District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office proposed an array of options for keeping the historic conviction on the books after Trump’s lawyers filed paperwork earlier this month asking for the case to be dismissed. They include freezing the case until Trump leaves office in 2029, agreeing that any future sentence won’t include jail time, or closing the case by noting he was convicted but that he wasn’t sentenced and his appeal wasn’t resolved because of presidential immunity. Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove reiterated Friday their position that the only acceptable option is overturning his conviction and dismissing his indictment, writing that anything less will interfere with the transition process and his ability to lead the country. The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined comment. It’s unclear how soon Merchan will decide. He could grant Trump’s request for dismissal, go with one of the prosecution’s suggestions, wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump’s parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court, or choose some other option. In their response Friday, Blanche and Bove ripped each of the prosecution’s suggestions. Halting the case until Trump leaves office would force the incoming president to govern while facing the “ongoing threat” that he’ll be sentenced to imprisonment, fines or other punishment as soon as his term ends, Blanche and Bove wrote. Trump, a Republican, takes office Jan. 20. “To be clear, President Trump will never deviate from the public interest in response to these thuggish tactics,” the defense lawyers wrote. “However, the threat itself is unconstitutional.” The prosecution’s suggestion that Merchan could mitigate those concerns by promising not to sentence Trump to jail time on presidential immunity grounds is also a non-starter, Blanche and Bove wrote. The immunity statute requires dropping the case, not merely limiting sentencing options, they argued. Blanche and Bove, both of whom Trump has tabbed for high-ranking Justice Department positions, expressed outrage at the prosecution’s novel suggestion that Merchan borrow from Alabama and other states and treat the case as if Trump had died. Blanche and Bove accused prosecutors of ignoring New York precedent and attempting to “fabricate” a solution “based on an extremely troubling and irresponsible analogy between President Trump” who survived assassination attempts in Pennsylvania in July and Florida in September “and a hypothetical dead defendant.” Such an option normally comes into play when a defendant dies after being convicted but before appeals are exhausted. It is unclear whether it is viable under New York law, but prosecutors suggested that Merchan could innovate in what’s already a unique case. “This remedy would prevent defendant from being burdened during his presidency by an ongoing criminal proceeding,” prosecutors wrote in their filing this week. But at the same time, it wouldn’t “precipitously discard” the “meaningful fact that defendant was indicted and found guilty by a jury of his peers.” Prosecutors acknowledged that “presidential immunity requires accommodation” during Trump’s impending return to the White House but argued that his election to a second term should not upend the jury’s verdict, which came when he was out of office. Longstanding Justice Department policy says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution . Other world leaders don’t enjoy the same protection. For example, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on trial on corruption charges even as he leads that nation’s wars in Lebanon and Gaza . Trump has been fighting for months to reverse his May 30 conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records . Prosecutors said he fudged the documents to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels to suppress her claim that they had sex a decade earlier, which Trump denies. In their filing Friday, Trump’s lawyers citing a social media post in which Sen. John Fetterman used profane language to criticize Trump’s hush money prosecution. The Pennsylvania Democrat suggested that Trump deserved a pardon, comparing his case to that of President Joe Biden’s pardoned son Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of tax and gun charges . “Weaponizing the judiciary for blatant, partisan gain diminishes the collective faith in our institutions and sows further division,” Fetterman wrote Wednesday on Truth Social. Trump’s hush money conviction was in state court, meaning a presidential pardon — issued by Biden or himself when he takes office — would not apply to the case. Presidential pardons only apply to federal crimes. Since the election, special counsel Jack Smith has ended his two federal cases , which pertained to Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss and allegations that he hoarded classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate. A separate state election interference case in Fulton County, Georgia, is largely on hold. Trump denies wrongdoing in all. Trump had been scheduled for sentencing in the hush money case in late November. But following Trump’s Nov. 5 election victory, Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed the former and future president’s sentencing so the defense and prosecution could weigh in on the future of the case. Merchan also delayed a decision on Trump’s prior bid to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. A dismissal would erase Trump’s conviction, sparing him the cloud of a criminal record and possible prison sentence. Trump is the first former president to be convicted of a crime and the first convicted criminal to be elected to the office.
Vladimir Putin 'trapped' after making disturbing nuclear threatLast month, the film adaptation of the popular Broadway musical, “ Wicked ,” released in theaters, breaking box office records. A viral post online prompts people to share photos they took while watching the movie. “Show ur ‘wicked part 1’ photos,” the post says. Although many people are aware that video recording inside the theater is illegal, others replied to the post with photos they took in their local movie theater, sparking a discussion online about whether it’s legal to take those pictures. Movie theater chain Alamo Drafthouse responded to the post calling for photos, writing “Or, don't do that.” THE QUESTION Is it illegal to take pictures of movies at the theaters? THE SOURCES THE ANSWER Yes, it is illegal to take pictures of movies at the theaters. WHAT WE FOUND Taking photos of a movie in theaters is illegal under federal copyright laws. Movie theaters also ban the practice. United States Code 2319B states that “any person who, without the authorization of the copyright owner, knowingly uses or attempts to use an audiovisual recording device to transmit or make a copy of a motion picture or other audiovisual work protected under title 17, or any part thereof, from a performance of such work in a motion picture exhibition facility” could face up to three years in prison, fines, or both. If it's a subsequent offense, prison time can increase to up to six years. Audiovisual recording devices are defined under the law to be “a digital or analog photographic or video camera, or any other technology or device capable of enabling the recording or transmission of a copyrighted motion picture or other audiovisual work.” By that definition, cell phones or any still image camera would be included. In addition, the crime is not limited to distributing or sharing illegal work. The very act of taking the picture is in itself illegal. While the law “emerged in response to the growing threat of piracy in the digital age,” Eisner Gorin LLP says it “targets the act of recording itself, regardless of whether the recorded content is distributed or used for personal gain.” Federal law gives theater employees the authority to detain anyone suspected of violating the law. Many movie theaters have outlined in their rules that filming or taking photos during a movie is strictly prohibited. For example, Regal’s admittance policy says , “No recording devices (cameras, video recorders, sound recorders, etc.) are permitted to be used within any Regal Entertainment Group facility.” AMC Theaters has a similar policy, with its code of conduct stating , “In support of federal law, camera use is not permitted in our auditoriums” Related Articles The VERIFY team works to separate fact from fiction so that you can understand what is true and false.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Former South Carolina Sen. Kay Patterson, who rose from cleaning offices at the segregated Statehouse to serving as a state legislator for over 30 years died Friday. He was 93. The South Carolina Democratic Party announced Patterson's death saying he “left an indelible mark on our state. Senator Patterson commanded everyone’s attention with his wit and wisdom.” The statement did not list a cause of death. Patterson was born in 1931 in Darlington County and raised by his grandmothers. They recalled his hardheaded spirit early, recommending he not take jobs as a golf caddy or shoe shiner because he was likely to mouth off to white people in segregated 1940s South Carolina and get in trouble. Instead, Patterson served in the military and then got his teaching degree through the GI Bill at Allen University. While in college, he cleaned offices at the segregated capitol where he and other Black people couldn't be unless they were working. "When I was a janitor, Black people couldn’t go in the Statehouse," Patterson said in a with the University of South Carolina. “And then one day I came back down here as a member of the House and then in '84, I came back sitting in the Senate as a senator. Now that’s a hell of a long way to come.” Patterson spent 30 years in education and was elected to the South Carolina House in 1974 and the Senate 10 years later after urged him to run for the upper chamber seat. In a statement, Clyburn called Patterson “a trusted leader, a tireless champion for civil rights, and a treasured friend. He was a person of strength, determination, wisdom, and a long proponent of removing from the .” Patterson was also the first Black person to serve on the University of South Carolina Board of Trustees since Reconstruction. Patterson was a key member of both the House and Senate, He served on the budget committees in both chambers and was a major voice in support of civil rights, public education and helping poor people. He adamantly demanded the Confederate flag be removed from atop the Statehouse dome and inside the House and Senate chambers long before they were taken down in 2000. The lifelong Democrat said the final years of his political career were the toughest after Republicans took over state government. His seniority no longer mattered and he felt many newer Republicans were religious hypocrites who claimed to help others but only cared for people just like themselves. A few years before he retired from the Statehouse, Patterson said it was important to respect elders and supervisors, but not be afraid to speak up if bothered or something was on one's mind. “That’s just my hallmark ever since I was a little child. It will get you in trouble now, but you can sleep well at night. And learn to treat everybody as human beings with respect,” Patterson said in the interview with the university's Champions of Civil and Human Rights in South Carolina program. “You can sleep real good at night. Right now, I’m 73 years old and sleep like a log when I go to bed because I know I’ve done no wrong to my fellow man,” Patterson said.Vladimir Putin has "boxed himself in" with his nuclear threats, according to a defense analyst. This comments come after the Russian President announced that Russia had deployed an experimental hypersonic ballistic missile in Ukraine . Dr Paul van Hooft of Rand Europe suggests that Putin's choice to use a weapon other than an ICBM - as Ukraine initially claimed - indicates a degree of "bluffing." He also noted that this is not a viable long-term strategy. Terrifying nuclear map shows areas where 75% would die if WW3 broke out Stephen Hawking's end-of-world prediction supported by NASA Putin stated that Russia 's Oreshnik missile targeted a military facility in Dnipro in eastern Ukraine , framing it as a response to Ukraine 's use of NATO-supplied long-range missiles, such as the British-supplied Storm Shadows. Putin highlighted the missile's advanced capabilities, precision, and speed, asserting that this action showcased Russia 's ability to counter Western military technology. However, Dr van Hooft questioned whether it truly makes a significant strategic difference, telling Daily Express: "Hypersonics were fairly hyped four years ago, but they are not particularly more or less dangerous than a ballistic missile. "They're actually slower than a ballistic missile in its terminal phase, but somewhat more maneuverable, though a Manoeuvrable reentry vehicle (MARV) would have some of those advantages as well." Evaluating Putin's goals, Dr van Hooft added: "It is a signal foremost. However, Putin has been trapping himself since the invasion by constantly raising the nuclear spectre. "One cannot bluff forever, as the threats lose their value. This seems to me - but I cannot read minds – as an escalation calculated to not irrevocably lead to nuclear use. "But the war continues, and it is becoming trickier to know how to signal." Dr van Hooft suggested that Putin was "running out of ways to sound menacing." The West reacted with alarm to the missile test, seeing it as a provocation and an escalation of the conflict. The US condemned the use of experimental weapons in a war zone, while NATO expressed concerns about the security implications of hypersonic missile technology. Analysts in the West highlighted that the test was a signal to deter further Western military aid to Ukraine . The deployment of the Oreshnik also renewed fears about the erosion of global arms control norms. Experts noted that hypersonic weapons are particularly destabilising due to their speed and maneuverability, making them difficult to intercept and raising the risk of miscalculations during conflicts. Russia 's announcement appears intended to project strength amid mounting pressures in Ukraine , but it has also deepened tensions with the West, potentially fueling further militarization and complicating prospects for diplomatic resolution.
