Celanese Corp. stock underperforms Wednesday when compared to competitors( MENAFN - IANS) Los Angeles, Dec 29 (IANS) Singer-songwriter Post Malone expressed his love for Beyonce as he gave her a sweet shout-out. The musician, 29, made a surprise cameo during Beyonce's epic Christmas Day halftime show at the Texans-Ravens game at NRG Stadium in Houston. Beyonce, 43, brought major holiday spirit, and Cowboy Carter vibes, to the football event, arriving on horseback and performing in a snow-white cowboy hat and sparkly white cowgirl outfit, reports 'People' magazine. Later in the show, after Beyonce performed with country singer Shaboozey, Post Malone appeared, and the pair dove into their hit collab“LEVII'S JEANS". As per 'People', Post Malone expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to share the stage with the music icon in a message shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, December 28. “Thank you @Beyonce so much for havin me out in Houston, and on your beautiful record. Also, thank you for sharin your talent and art with the world. I love you”, he wrote. Fans took the opportunity to share their praise for the recent collaboration, with one X user commenting,“New collab??” The halftime show marked the first time Beyoncé performed songs from her latest album in front of a live audience, and the evening - which has since been dubbed the 'Beyonce Bowl', also featured a special cameo by her 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy. Blue Ivy appeared as her mom closed out the show with "Texas Hold 'Em", and Beyonce gave a nod to her eldest child with a subtle lyric change, "Then spin me in the middle, Blue, I can't read your mind". The pair then did an elaborate line dance before Beyonce floated up on a platform for the grand finale. Houston is Beyonce's hometown. Other songs from the evening included "16 Carriages,” "Blackbiird" (featuring Brittney Spencer, Reyna Roberts, Tiera Kennedy and Tanner Adell),“My House” and "Spaghetti". The show also featured a live a cappella group to back Beyonce on“American Requiem".

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Indianapolis quarterback Anthony Richardson has been ruled out for the Colts’ big game at the New York Giants on Sunday. Richardson missed practice on Thursday and Friday because of back and foot injuries. He was listed as questionable before he was downgraded to out on Saturday. Indianapolis (7-8) has a slim chance of making the playoffs. The Colts need to win out and get some help. Richardson’s absence likely means Joe Flacco will start against New York. Flacco, a New Jersey native who turns 40 on Jan. 16, has passed for 1,167 yards and nine touchdowns in six games this season, including four starts. He also has thrown five interceptions. The 22-year-old Richardson was selected by Indianapolis with the No. 4 pick in the 2023 draft. He has passed for 1,814 yards and eight touchdowns with 12 interceptions this year. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

After his defeat by Ronald Reagan, he spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. His death on Sunday was announced by his family and came more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. He was the longest-lived US president. Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia. pic.twitter.com/aqYmcE9tXi — The Carter Center (@CarterCenter) December 29, 2024 His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights and unselfish love. “My brothers, sister and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. “The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honouring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta and Washington DC before being buried in his home town of Plains, Georgia. A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and finally the White House, where he took office as the 39th president. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked for more than four decades leading the Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service.

The policies, which begin in 2025, follow more than a year of study involving medicine, science, sport physiology and gender policy law. The updated policies would rule out eligibility for Hailey Davidson, who missed qualifying for the U.S. Women's Open this year by one shot and came up short in LPGA Q-school. Davidson, who turned 32 on Tuesday, began hormone treatments when she was in her early 20s in 2015 and in 2021 underwent gender-affirming surgery, which was required under the LPGA's previous gender policy. She had won this year on a Florida mini-tour called NXXT Golf until the circuit announced in March that players had to be assigned female at birth. “Can't say I didn't see this coming,” Davidson wrote Wednesday on an Instagram story. “Banned from the Epson and the LPGA. All the silence and people wanting to stay ‘neutral’ thanks for absolutely nothing. This happened because of all your silence.” LPGA commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan, who is resigning in January, said the new gender policy "is reflective of an extensive, science-based and inclusive approach." By making it to the second stage of Q-school, Davidson would have had very limited status on the Epson Tour, the pathway to the LPGA. The LPGA and USGA say their policies were geared toward being inclusive of gender identities and expression while striving for equity in competition. The LPGA said its working group of experts advised that the effects of male puberty allowed for competitive advantages in golf compared with players who had not gone through puberty. “Our policy is reflective of an extensive, science-based and inclusive approach,” said LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan, who announced Monday that she is resigning in January. "The policy represents our continued commitment to ensuring that all feel welcome within our organization, while preserving the fairness and competitive equity of our elite competitions.” Mike Whan, the former LPGA commissioner and now CEO of the USGA, said it developed the updated policy independently and later discovered it was similar to those used by swimming, track and field, and other sports. United States Golf Association CEO Mike Whan said the new policy will prevent anyone from having "a competitive advantage based on their gender." “It starts with competitive fairness as the North star,” Whan said in a telephone interview. “We tried not to get into politics, or state by state or any of that stuff. We just simply said, ‘Where would somebody — at least medically today — where do we believe somebody would have a competitive advantage in the field?’ And we needed to draw a line. “We needed to be able to walk into any women's event and say with confidence that nobody here has a competitive advantage based on their gender. And this policy delivers that.” The “Competitive Fairness Gender Policy” for the USGA takes effect for the 2025 championship season that starts with the U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball on May 10-14. Qualifying began late this year, though there were no transgender players who took part. “Will that change in the years to come as medicine changes? Probably,” Whan said. “But I think today this stacks up.” The LPGA “Gender Policy for Competition Eligibility” would apply to the LPGA Tour, Epson Tour, Ladies European Tour and qualifying for the tours. Players assigned male at birth must prove they have not experienced any part of puberty beyond the first stage or after age 12, whichever comes first, and then meet limitation standards for testosterone levels. The LPGA begins its 75th season on Jan. 30 with the Tournament of Champions in Orlando, Florida.

(AP Photo/Stephanie Scarbrough) Sent weekly directly to your inbox!(Reuters) - The Bahamas' legislature was forced to suspend its session on Wednesday after a heated debate about a police corruption scandal escalated, with one opposition lawmaker grabbing the symbolic parliamentary mace and throwing it out the window. Parliament member Shanendon Cartwright, frustrated after Speaker Patricia Deveaux did not let him speak, was seen rushing up where she was seated, grabbing the parliamentary mace, a heavy ceremonial staff, off the bench, and then tossing it out a nearby window. "Get him!" Deveaux then yelled, with the incident recorded on a government broadcast. He, alongside several ally lawmakers, were forced out of the building by police. The move harks back to 1965, when the leader of the opposition threw the mace out of a window in a push for political change, an event that became known as "Black Tuesday." It comes after U.S. federal prosecutors charged several high-ranking Bahamian police officials with facilitating the flow of cocaine into the U.S. in exchange for bribes. Prime Minister Philip Davis said during the session on Wednesday that the police commissioner had resigned, and promised a complete overhaul of the force to weed out corruption. Outside parliament, dozens of protesters gathered, shouting "Police are criminals!" (Reporting by Kylie Madry and Robertson S. Henry; Editing by David Gregorio)
TAPACHULA, Mexico (AP) — Eleven clandestine graves with the bodies of 15 men were located in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, where a dispute between the Sinaloa and Jalisco Nueva Generación drug cartels is taking place, local authorities said Sunday. Chiapas Gov. Eduardo Ramírez Aguilar said on his social media channels that the findings came as the result of a raid in the city of La Concordia, near Mexico 's border with Guatemala . He said four people connected to the case had been arrested with weapons and drugs. The state prosecutor’s office said in a statement that the raid took place in two different properties. The first site had three bodies in three graves and in the second, eight graves with 12 bodies. “It is worth mentioning that for these operations technological tools such as drones and geo-radars were used, in addition to aerial overflight, ground search, field forensics, back-excavation and drills,” it said. Chiapas Prosecutor General Jorge Luis Llaven Abarca said last week that another clandestine grave with charred bodies was found in Emiliano Zapata, neighboring La Concordia, but did not give more details because of the poor state of the bodies for identification. The dispute over drug routes, migrant trafficking and weapons has left more than 10,000 people displaced in recent years, including Mexicans fleeing to Guatemala, according to reports from humanitarian organizations.
On Monday, the Golden State Warriors lost 128-120 to the Brooklyn Nets. Despite holding an 18-point lead in the third quarter, the Warriors experienced a barrage from the Nets, which drained their energy. Steve Kerr addressed Golden State's drought in the third quarter following the game. Paul Rutherford-Imagn Images The Warriors struck the Nets with an 11-0 run in at the seven-minute mark of the third quarter, leading Brooklyn head coach Jordi Fernandez to take a game-changing timeout. The Warriors then endured a 13-2 run, which cut their lead to 88-81, with the momentum swinging in the Nets' direction. Kerr assessed the third quarter for the reason the Nets ultimately stole the road win from the Warriors. "I felt like we lost juice again tonight, you know, big lead late in the third and can't close the deal, so just not a lot of energy, not a lot of force, and you open up the door for a team in the modern NBA, and they might make 23s like Brooklyn did tonight," Kerr said. Related: What Has Moses Moody Focused On Developing Offensively? As Kerr mentioned, regarding the statistical advantages, the Nets converted 20 3s on 45 attempts. However, to the Warriors' credit, they managed 19 of 46, which doesn't indicate a vast difference. There is a more boring reason for the Warriors' loss, and it's as fundamental as it gets. The Warriors went 11-17 from the charity stripe, whereas the Nets scored the home team with a 26-30 clip. Considering that the Warriors rank fourth in defensive rating, the Nets' 30 free-throw attempts point to an alarming discrepancy, ultimately leading to the stat that alludes to why the second-best Western Conference team lost to an overachieving but inferior Eastern Conference franchise. Related: Where Do Warriors Rank After Two Straight Losses?New Delhi: Delhi Police has identified and deported seven Bangladeshi nationals, including five women, who were found staying illegally in the capital. The deportations were part of an ongoing verification drive to identify unauthorised foreign nationals in the South District area. The individuals were apprehended near Arjan Garh metro station on Dec 28. Two of the men were identified as Mohammad Umor Faruk, 33, and Riyaj Miyan alias Remon Khan, 20, both residing in Rajeev Nagar, Gurugram. DCP (South) Ankit Chauhan said, "Our teams have been regularly visiting slums and suspected areas to verify documents, including voter IDs and Aadhaar cards." Police said the operation involved teams from the Anti-Auto Theft Squad and District Line, who worked with local informants and utilised surveillance technology. The teams also focused on areas such as labour camps and unauthorised colonies during their drives. tnn
Laura Loomer, an Elon Musk supporter-turned-critic, says Musk has demoted her account on Twitter/X. Musk has accused Loomer of "trolling for attention." It's a reminder: We've seen Musk run Twitter on a whim. Now that he's got an important role in politics: Will he behave the same way there? Laura Loomer has been kicked off lots of social media sites, including Twitter. After Elon Musk bought the service in 2022, he reinstated her, along with many others who had been booted by Twitter's previous management. Advertisement Now, Loomer claims, Musk's service has demoted her by stripping her account's "premium" blue-check status and other benefits. She says Musk made the move because she was criticizing his stance on immigration. You may be unaware of Loomer — described by Wikipedia as "an American far-right political activist , conspiracy theorist, and internet personality" — and/or the online rock fight about immigration and racism breaking out among different wings of Trump supporters. If so, that could mean you have a healthy relationship with the internet. Good for you. Advertisement If you'd like to know more about the latter, my colleague Hasan Chowdhury has an explainer . You could also, at your own risk, consult Twitter/X's own summary of the story. My point is, you don't need me to tell you about this. I simply want to remind you that — if Loomer's allegation is correct — this would be par for the course for Musk and his social media company. (Musk hasn't denied Loomer's charges, and has told his followers to ignore her because she's " trolling for attention ." I've asked her and Twitter/X for additional comment.) Advertisement As I've noted before, the most consistent thing about Musk's management style at Twitter is his erratic, flip-flopping, inconsistency. Sometimes it's about relatively small stuff, like wooing Don Lemon to start a talk show on Twitter, and then canceling the deal before the show ever started. Sometimes it's about really big stuff — like agreeing to pay some $44 billion for Twitter, then spending weeks in court trying not to buy it. In any case, the only way you can be surprised by stuff like this at this point is if you never paid attention. Advertisement But I do think it's still worth pointing out. Because while Musk's management style at Twitter hasn't changed, his responsibilities have changed. He's no longer just the richest person in the world, who runs important companies like Tesla and SpaceX, in addition to Twitter. Musk may now be the most powerful unelected person in America , given his importance to Donald Trump and his upcoming administration. There's his role at DOGE , for starters. And the fact that he appears to be conducting foreign policy for Trump . And that he used Twitter to temporarily tank a government funding bill this month. Advertisement We don't know how long this arrangement is going to last, and what kind of impact Musk is going to have. But we do know that for now, a man with the power to affect the way the American government operates is the same man who can change the way he runs Twitter depending on how he feels at any given moment. We shouldn't ignore that.
