In the midst of this political chaos, South Korea is facing numerous challenges on both the domestic and international fronts. The country is grappling with a slowing economy, rising tensions with North Korea, and a number of other pressing issues. The arrest of Yoon Suk-yeol has only added to the uncertainty and instability plaguing the country.

In their final fixture of 2024, Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the game midway through the opening period. Arsenal’s victory takes them back to within six points of leaders Liverpool, having played one match more than the Reds, and a point clear of Chelsea following their Boxing Day defeat to Fulham. Ipswich, although much improved in the second half, have now lost five of their last six games, and remain just one place off the bottom of the table, three points away from safety. 🎯 — Arsenal (@Arsenal) Mikel Arteta’s men have been rocked by Bukayo Saka’s hamstring injury which could keep the England winger, who has nine goals and 13 assists this season, out of action for the next two months. Gabriel Martinelli was handed the unenviable task of filling Saka’s shoes on Arsenal’s right-hand side and the Brazilian was involved in the only goal of the evening. The Ipswich defence failed to deal with Martinelli’s cross, with the ball falling to Leandro Trossard on the opposite side of the area. Trossard fought his way to the byline before fizzing his cross into the box for Havertz to convert from a matter of yards. It was Havertz’s third goal in four matches, his 12th of the season, and no less than the hosts, who at that stage of the match had enjoyed a staggering 91.4 per cent of the possession, deserved. Heading into Friday’s fixture, Arsenal had lost only one of their last 75 Premier League games when they had opened the scoring, and their triumph here rarely looked in doubt following Havertz’s strike. Three points that take Arsenal into second 🪜 — Premier League (@premierleague) Havertz thought he had doubled Arsenal’s lead with 34 minutes gone when he converted Gabriel Jesus’ cross. But Jesus – handed his third successive start for the first time in a year – strayed into an offside position in the build-up. When referee Darren England blew for half-time, Ipswich had failed to touch the ball in Arsenal’s box, becoming just the second side to do so in the Premier League this season. Nottingham Forest were the other, away at Liverpool, before they went on to inflict Arne Slot’s sole defeat of his tenure so far. And for all of Arsenal’s possession, while they held just a one-goal advantage, Ipswich knew they were still in the game. An encouraging start to the second half for the Tractor Boys ensued, albeit without testing David Raya in the Arsenal goal. Shortly after the hour mark, Gabriel should have settled any growing Emirates nerves when he arrived unmarked to Declan Rice’s corner, but the defender headed wide of Arijanet Muric’s post when it looked easier to score. Just over an hour on the clock. — IPSWICH TOWN (@IpswichTown) Martin Odegaard then forced a fine fingertip save from Muric at his near post after a mazy run and shot from the Arsenal skipper. Rice’s stinging goal-bound volley from the following corner was blocked by Dara O’Shea as Arsenal pushed for a game-killing second. Havertz should have tapped home Trossard’s header but he fluffed his lines. And moments later, substitute Mikel Merino’s effort was diverted from danger by a diving Muric. Ipswich looked to catch Arsenal on the counter, but the match ended without them registering a single effort on Raya’s goal. Ipswich fans goaded their opponents with chants of “boring, boring Arsenal”, but it was the Gunners who enjoyed the last laugh as they saw out 2024 with a win which keeps the pressure on Liverpool.NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes got back to climbing on Wednesday after the latest update on inflation appeared to clear the way for more help for the economy from the Federal Reserve . The S&P 500 rose 0.8% to break its first two-day losing streak in nearly a month and finished just short of its all-time high. Big Tech stocks led the way, which drove the Nasdaq composite up 1.8% to top the 20,000 level for the first time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, meanwhile, lagged the market with a dip of 99 points, or 0.2%. Stocks got a boost as expectations built that Wednesday’s inflation data will allow the Fed to deliver another cut to interest rates at its meeting next week. Traders are betting on a nearly 99% probability of that, according to data from CME Group, up from 89% a day before. If they’re correct, it would be a third straight cut by the Fed after it began lowering rates in September from a two-decade high. It’s hoping to support a slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. Lower rates would give a boost to the economy and to prices for investments, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. “The data have given the Fed the ‘all clear’ for next week, and today’s inflation data keep a January cut in active discussion,” according to Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. 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 this year , with the latest coming last week. The biggest boosts for the index on Wednesday came from Nvidia and other Big Tech stocks. Their massive growth has made them Wall Street’s biggest stars for years, though other kinds of stocks have recently been catching up somewhat amid hopes for the broader U.S. economy. Tesla jumped 5.9% to finish above $420 at $424.77. It’s a level that Elon Musk made famous in a 2018 tweet when he said he had secured funding to take Tesla private at $420 per share . Stitch Fix soared 44.3% after the company that sends clothes to your door reported a smaller loss for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It also gave financial forecasts for the current quarter that were better than expected, including for revenue. GE Vernova rallied 5% for one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500. The energy company that spun out of General Electric said it would pay a 25 cent dividend every three months, and it approved a plan to send up to another $6 billion to its shareholders by buying back its own stock. On the losing end of Wall Street, Dave & Buster’s Entertainment tumbled 20.1% after reporting a worse loss for the latest quarter than expected. It also said CEO Chris Morris has resigned, and the board has been working with an executive-search firm for the last few months to find its next permanent leader. Albertsons fell 1.5% after filing a lawsuit against Kroger, saying it didn’t do enough for their proposed $24.6 billion merger agreement to win regulatory clearance. Albertsons said it’s seeking billions of dollars in damages from Kroger, whose stock rose 1%. A day earlier, judges in separate cases in Oregon and Washington nixed the supermarket giants’ merger. The grocers contended a combination could have helped them compete with big retailers like Walmart, Costco and Amazon, but critics said it would hurt competition. After terminating the merger agreement with Kroger, Albertsons said it plans to boost its dividend 25% and increased the size of its program to buy back its own stock. Macy’s slipped 0.8% after cutting some of its financial forecasts for the full year of 2024, including for how much profit it expects to make off each $1 of revenue. All told, the S&P 500 rose 49.28 points to 6,084.19. The Dow dipped 99.27 to 44,148.56, and the Nasdaq composite rallied 347.65 to 20,034.89. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.27% from 4.23% late Tuesday. The two-year Treasury yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, edged up to 4.15% from 4.14%. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across much of Europe and Asia. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was an outlier and slipped 0.8% as Chinese leaders convened an annual planning meeting in Beijing that is expected to set economic policies and growth targets for the coming year. South Korea’s Kospi rose 1%, up for a second straight day as it climbs back following last week’s political turmoil where its president briefly declared martial law.

Furthermore, the Commission reiterated its commitment to ensuring equitable access to education for all students in Tianjin and affirmed that they would continue to work towards providing assistance and support to those in need through existing channels and programs. They encouraged residents to reach out to official education authorities for accurate and reliable information regarding educational policies and initiatives implemented in the city.

Literacy and numeracy skills among adults have largely declined or stagnated over the past decade in most OECD countries, according to the second OECD Survey of Adult Skills. Declines have been even larger and more widespread among low-educated adults. The Survey measured the skills of around 160 000 16-65 year-olds across 31 countries*. Twenty-seven of these countries took part in the first Survey in 2013. It also looked at how literacy, numeracy and problem solving is used at work. It aims to provide evidence of how developing and using skills improves employment prospects and quality of life as well as boosting economic growth. But despite major efforts by governments and social partners to strengthen education and adult training systems over the past decade, only Finland and Denmark have seen significant improvements in adult literacy skills. On numeracy proficiency, eight countries saw their average scores improve, with Finland and Singapore recording the largest gains. But in most countries, the literacy proficiency of the lowest-performing 10% of the population has declined, with similar declines in numeracy. At the same time, the performance of the top 10% has improved, leading to widening skills inequalities within countries. In 2023, Singapore and the United States displayed the largest skills inequalities in literacy and numeracy. “Adults with higher numeracy skills are more likely to be employed, earn a higher wage, and report better health and life satisfaction than those with lower numeracy skills,” OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann said. “This Survey underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive re-evaluation of how countries support the development of foundation skills. As technology reshapes many jobs, these skills are more important than ever to face the future of work. By investing in skills, governments will support a more resilient and inclusive workforce that helps sustain prosperity for all.” Finland, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden are the best-performing countries in all three domains. Eleven countries (Chile, Croatia, France, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Korea, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal and Spain) consistently perform below the OECD average in all skills domains. Behind the declines in average skill levels, inequalities within countries are widening. In many countries, the lowest-performing adults saw the biggest decline in literacy skills, and on average across participating countries one in five adults are only able to understand simple texts or solve basic arithmetic. Furthermore, in most countries adult skills continue to depend closely on social background. As literacy proficiency has declined more strongly among men than women, gender gaps have narrowed in many countries. On the other hand, men continue to outperform women in numeracy and adaptive problem solving. Meanwhile, foreign-born adults have lower skills than native-born adults in nearly all countries. In some places, the increase in the share of foreign-born adults over the past decade explains part of the declining average literacy proficiency scores. Source: OECD

SINGAPORE: Potential employers often tell Ms Susan Tan (not her real name) how impressed they are by her resume and skills, only to conclude by saying they cannot hire her because she was born deaf. One recent reason given was that she "would not be able to communicate with clients", said the 40-year-old in text messages to CNA. In jobs she did land, Ms Tan claimed to have been been abruptly dismissed from one after being wrongly accused of not pulling her weight. In another, she resigned after what she felt was an unfair reprimand for not meeting deadlines. And in jobs she could hold down, there were times she felt excluded or unsupported. “Employees often chit-chat among themselves and I won’t be included in conversations," said Ms Tan, who still finds it challenging to secure full-time work and has been making ends meet through freelance tutoring. "I even had to pay for sign language interpreters out of my own pocket for meetings.” Ms Tan was thus not surprised by the findings in Singapore's first disability trends report, released by the Ministry of Social and Family Development earlier in December. They revealed that only about half of those surveyed had positive attitudes towards people with disabilities (PWDs) in the workplace in 2023, down from nearly six out of 10 in 2019. And the proportion of respondents who felt negatively about PWDs in the workplace rose from 9 per cent to almost 14 per cent. The study did not identify specific reasons. But experts told CNA it could be due to a degree of apprehension among employers and employees; while PWDs on their part could be lacking in social skills due to being "overprotected". In all cases, more education is key, they added. WHAT’S BEHIND THE GAP? The average employment rate of PWDs hit 32.7 per cent in 2022/2023, up from 28.2 per cent in 2018/2019. But workplace inclusivity is still a "work in progress" in Singapore and has a ways to go before reaching a goal of 40 per cent by 2030 , said disability agency SG Enable’s chief executive officer Lee May Gee. “It’s human nature to feel apprehensive about what we do not understand," she said. "Employers and employees may be unsure, uncomfortable, or simply lack the confidence on how to approach persons with disabilities and how to integrate them into the workplace.” Ms Lee also highlighted that smaller and more close-knit work teams may have positive attitudes towards PWDs in their ranks, while broader company-level attitudes may be neutral or negative due to a lack of interaction. MSF’s study showed that respondents who had contact with PWDs at least twice in the past year reported more positive attitudes compared to those who did not. In workplaces, skills such as effective communication, conflict resolution, and emotional intelligence are becoming increasingly important as companies seek out a human touch amid rapid automation, said Mr Sean Goh director of capability and business development at Human Capital Singapore, a continuing education and training centre in human resource management. And these are the necessary soft skills which PWDs might be lacking in, through no fault of theirs. “PWDs have been raised in more sheltered environments where their disabilities resulted in well-meaning accommodation or overprotection," said Mr Goh. "It can inadvertently limit opportunities for social exposure, leading to challenges in self-management and social awareness." WHAT CAN BE DONE? Mr Rendi Toh was born with Alstrom Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder causing blindness from birth. He lacked the confidence when he first started job-hunting, but programmes at Human Capital taught him communication and teamwork skills that eventually helped clinch his current role as a host at NOX - Dine in the Dark. Still, there was the odd misunderstanding or run-in with colleagues unfamiliar or uncomfortable with his condition. But things have improved with continued training on areas such as resolving conflicts and developing emotional intelligence, and Mr Toh has since become an advocate for other PWDs employed by the restaurant. “PWDs definitely have concerns on how they are seen and perceived by others, but it’s a chicken and egg problem," said Ms Azlin Amran, an employment support specialist at local charity SPD. "They need to learn to project confidence so that they will be perceived as such.” Those who acquired their disabilities instead of being born with them also need time to grieve, she added. SPD, which serves PWDs of all ages, also offers training courses on both practical and soft skills necessary for the workplace. Top-down initiatives are just as - if not more - important. SG Enable, for one, offers training to help employers and employees better interact with and integrate PWDs in the workplace, and to cater to their different needs. “There’s a part in the workshop where we blindfold participants and guide them to do tasks, or get them to sit in a wheelchair and experience how hard it could be to move around," said the agency's CEO Ms Lee. "This helps develop awareness and empathy on what persons with disabilities are experiencing.” She called on employers to take the first step to dispel misconceptions of PWDs, and to encourage their employees to learn how to better promote inclusivity in the workplace. For instance, Mr Andrew Lim, who was born with a rare genetic eye disorder called cone dystrophy, works at a finance firm which has an inclusivity team. The team ensures employees know how to assist and create a safe environment for PWD employees. Mr Lim, who did not want to be known by his real name, has just 10 per cent of his vision left and it could deteriorate further. But the 28-year-old said he has never felt excluded or incapable in the workplace. Once, a colleague offered to help him take food at a company buffet, before patiently telling him where each item on the plate was positioned. “The chicken was at 3pm, the rice was at 6pm, and the tofu was placed at 9pm,” said Mr Lim. "Nobody has done that for me before." Ms Tan, the freelance tutor, said it was fundamentally about employers being more open to hiring PWDs. "We need to be given a chance,” she said. The value and the benefits of hiring PWDs are "not very well-known”, said SG Enable's Ms Lee. “But studies have shown that workplaces that hire PWDs often experience a shift towards stronger culture and organisational performance.” At Siloso Beach Resort on Sentosa island, employees Anthony Saminathan and Jason Karthikgesan Raja pointed out how their PWD colleagues don't complain about the workload, listen to instructions well and have a good attendance record. More than 30 per cent of the hotel's workforce are PWDs with a range of conditions and in roles such as dishwashing, housekeeping and food and beverage service. “Whenever I need help, I go to one of them first because they’re always very willing to give their best effort,” Mr Raja said. “There was an employee under me that didn’t speak much, apart from a few words. But I encouraged him every day. He came up to me one day and asked me out for dinner in a full sentence, and I cried. I will always remember that experience.” Mr Saminathan also recalled how he once had a PWD colleague video-call him at 11pm from Malaysia, asking if he wanted some souvenirs. “You need to be patient with them to understand how to better help them at their jobs," he said. "They’ll show you a lot of love and treat you well once you form a bond.”Nigeria’s youths, renewable energy sectors open for German businesses—Tinubu

Creation is an act of kindness. One person sloughs off a piece of themselves, shapes it, wraps it, and sends it out into the world in the hope that it might mean something to someone else. Other people do this for us all the time and mostly we don't even notice. The work is unseen and unremarked upon even as, through repetition, we come to depend upon it. Until, one day, that light that they shine can't be seen. Maybe you left home, or maybe they did, but now it's your turn to perform such acts of kindness. To carry the tradition forward for others - and for yourself. Friends, it's time to play Skeal . Playing Skeal at Christmas is an annual RPS tradition, created by Alice O and written about by her in 2017 , 2018 , 2019 , 2020 , 2021 , 2022 , and 2023 . Alice departed RPS back in April , so I am continuing it in her stead. Skeal is a short, free joke created by Nick Cummings which you can play in your browser . It'll take you five minutes. Go do it now. Ah, that's fun, isn't it. A bit of silly wordplay blown up and out in a way that causes the delight to stack and multiply. Every year I forget the details of it, and every year I smile the first time I miss a gate and the "Pain" counter appears in the top left. We play Skeal every year and invite you to do the same as a little marker in the closing season. I play every year, but in many ways the tradition begins for me long before I actually head over to Itch to find the game. It begins early in December when I first recall the tradition and start to sing around my kitchen. The mere thought of Skeal has become a prompt for reflection on where I've been and where I am. Briefly put? RPS, you remain my power, my pleasure, my pain. The nature of traditions is that we get to choose which we continue and which we don't. Alice O also played Dracula Cha Cha and Christmas Pain in Christmas Town each December - fine traditions! - but I have let them go, for this year at least. Of course, we likewise get to create new traditions of our own, should we want to. Who knows what Nic, Edwin, James and Ed might cook up in the months and years to come? That is for them to decide. For me, for now, I Skeal.Leading the way in the opportunity creation chart is Palmer, with an impressive total of 35 chances created so far. The midfield maestro has been a driving force in his team's attacking play, showcasing his vision, passing range, and ability to unlock stubborn defenses. Palmer's creativity and technical skill have made him a standout performer in the league, earning him recognition as one of the top playmakers in English football.In conclusion, the recent incidents at the bathhouse center have sparked a wave of responses from multiple parties, leading to the closure for renovation and care. The collaborative efforts of the management, local authorities, healthcare professionals, and community members underscore the importance of a united and proactive approach in safeguarding public health and well-being. It is through such collective actions that we can create a safer and healthier environment for all.

Title: Key Changes Expected in Next Year's Fiscal and Monetary Policies: A Quick OverviewThe impact of Mr. Smith's posters went beyond the classroom, as they became a symbol of excellence in teaching and a testament to the power of creativity in education. Teachers from all disciplines sought inspiration from his work, incorporating visual aids into their own lessons to make learning more engaging and accessible to students. The posters became a staple in schools and educational institutions, with many considering them to be a valuable resource for teaching and learning.In the end, what started as a simple mishap transformed into a memorable lesson in teamwork, creativity, and community support. The students' innovative spirit and willingness to lend a helping hand not only saved a valuable possession but also strengthened the bonds of friendship among them. The incident serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most effective solutions arise not from fancy equipment or advanced technology, but from the simple act of coming together and working towards a common goal.
