While there was high drama in Alexandra Palace on the first day back after the Christmas break, where Damon Heta threw a nine-dart finish, Humphries enjoyed a serene evening. He beat Nick Kenny 4-0 to set up a mouth-watering fourth-round meeting with two-time champion Peter Wright. THE WORLD NUMBER ONE KICKS ON! Luke Humphries comfortably books his spot in the Last 16 with a 4-0 whitewash victory over Nick Kenny, averaging 98.59! 📺 https://t.co/pIQvhqYxEj #WCDarts pic.twitter.com/XAADalXD4Q — PDC Darts (@OfficialPDC) December 27, 2024 Kenny was unable to produce the form that saw him beat Raymond van Barneveld in the previous round and Humphries did not need to be anywhere near his best. “It was one of those games I didn’t want to take for granted,” he said. “I expected a tough game and I wasn’t firing, I felt there is so much more to give, I felt there was more to come out of me. “I didn’t want to give anyone an inch because they can take a mile. “I’m not going to give up this world title without a fight, I wasn’t at my best but when someone pushes me I know I can come up with the goods.” Earlier in the day Heta set the tournament alight on its resumption with a stunning nine-dart finish before bowing out. The Australian, seeded ninth, achieved darting perfection in the second set of his match with Luke Woodhouse to earn a cool £60,000 payday. However, his joy was short-lived as Woodhouse won a thrilling battle 4-3, having trailed 3-1. HEROIC HETA HITS THE NINE! 🔥 UNBELIEVABLE SCENES! 🤯 Damon Heta lands the second nine-darter of the tournament to raise the roof at Alexandra Palace! #WCDarts pic.twitter.com/DW6rhvFqez — PDC Darts (@OfficialPDC) December 27, 2024 Heta was millimetres away from throwing a nine-darter in the previous round when he missed the double 12, but he made no mistake this time in the first match after the Christmas break. Heta’s feat was the second time a nine-darter has been thrown in the 2025 tournament and the 16th of all time at the World Championship, following Christian Kist’s effort before Christmas. As well as landing the Australian a hefty payday, it also saw a lucky fan in Ally Pally win a £60,000, with £60,000 also being donated to Prostate Cancer UK. There were several other titanic battles, none better than Gerwyn Price’s sudden-death leg victory over Joe Cullen. Price looked like he was going to have an easy night when he coasted into a 3-0 lead, but Cullen hit back to send it to a decider, which went all the way. Cullen landed a ‘Big Fish’ 170 checkout to send the tie to a sudden-death leg on his throw but Price hit some big numbers to steal victory. “That was tough, I just wanted to get over the winning line,” he said during his on-stage interview. PRICE WINS A THRILLER! That might just be the game of the tournament so far! 💥 Gerwyn Price manages to break the Rockstars throw in the final leg of the game, and beats Joe Cullen 4-3 and books his place in the Last 16! 📺 https://t.co/pIQvhqYxEj #WCDarts pic.twitter.com/VnjnJxP0T0 — PDC Darts (@OfficialPDC) December 27, 2024 “He kept coming back, the crowd were way behind him. “I thought I was going to lose, but I kept in there right to the end and got the win. “He played some good darts at the right times. I put myself in that position, I got myself out of it and I’m still in.” Seventh seed Jonny Clayton also battled to victory after squandering a 3-0 lead against Daryl Gurney. Gurney then had six darts to send the decider to a tiebreaker but lost his nerve and Clayton stole a 4-3 win. Stephen Bunting and Peter Wright, who was suffering from a chest infection, enjoyed much more safe passages with routine wins over Madars Razma and Jermaine Wattimena respectively.

A trio of top Republican Party of Guam representatives has joined a group of other Pacific leaders to offer joint recommendations of federal policy and key appointments to President-elect Donald J. Trump ahead of his inauguration as the 47th president of the United States on Jan 20, according to an announcement Friday. Guam Del. James Moylan, 38th Guam Legislature Speaker-elect Sen. Frank Blas Jr. and Republican Party of Guam Chairman and senator-elect Shawn Gumataotao were recruited for the Pacific Transition 47 Committee that also includes American Samoa Congresswoman Amata C. Radewagen, and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Congresswoman-elect Kimberlynn King-Hinds. The committee was formed following a recommendation by incoming Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs James Braid, who is coordinating the process. “The purpose of this committee is for the three House members to join forces with senior political leaders in the American Pacific to offer joint recommendations to the incoming Trump-Vance Administration,” the announcement said. Braid said, “There have only been a handful of GOP trifectas since World War II. The transition team is looking forward to working with you to advance President Trump’s priorities on Capitol Hill during this historic opportunity to Make America Great Again. The transition welcomes the input of you and your team on personnel and policy.” According to the announcement, Radewagen stressed that job seekers should feel free to reach out to any committee member as well as submit a resume and letters of recommendation by email to PacificTransition47@gmail.com . “Committee members are not precluded from communicating directly with the Trump-Vance Transition to make policy and personnel recommendations,” Radewagen said. “But we expect that recommendations will be given greater weight if submitted by the committee, which consists of the most prominent senior Republican leaders in the American Pacific.” Gumataotao said the Guam group intends to submit recommendations for the positions of U.S. District Court of Guam/CNMI, U.S. attorney for Guam/CNMI, U.S. Department of Interior Office of Insular Affairs assistant secretary or deputy assistant secretary. "We as a group discuss those potential appointments, and get resumes together, submit them and then work closely with them," Gumataotao said. Separately, CNMI Gov. Arnold Palacios and American Samoa Governor-elect Pulaalii Nikolao Pula on Thursday also announced they plan to join the Republican Party, according to Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley. Coincidentally, Pula is the former head of the DOI Office of Insular Affairs. "We're taking this right now up until the (presidential inauguration) on the 20th ... but if some go beyond the 20th then we'll keep working until those positions are filled," Gumataotao said. Committee meetings and deliberations will be conducted by videoconference and a social media chat group, but the members also expect to meet on the sidelines of the inauguration when they travel to Washington, D.C. next month, according to the announcement. Rounding out the committee will be American Samoa territorial party chairman Taualapapa William Sword, and the CNMI Republican party chairman, pending election.The head of the London clinic that piloted one of the controversial Safer Opioid Supply (SOS) programs says clients’ lives are being put at risk because some on Parliament Hill have chosen to politicize the program. Scott Courtice, the executive director of the London Intercommunity Health Centre, made the comments Wednesday, a day after a parliamentary committee met to discuss the opioid epidemic. “I’m concerned there are people using this as a politicization and a wedge to try to tell a story that helps their political advantage, and not really get at solving the crisis that we’re all very concerned about,” exclaimed Courtice. On Tuesday, London Police Chief Thai Truong was one of several witnesses and experts to testify at the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health. He was peppered with questions about the challenges of policing the city’s drug problem. London Police Chief Thai Truong testifies at the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health. (Source: ourcommons.ca) “Does that concern you, that vulnerable people are being made more vulnerable by the use of government funded drugs?” asked Conservative MP Laila Goodridge. Chief Truong responded, “Our concern is the victimization of all individuals in the community. Vulnerable and marginalized people are extremely at risk.” The chief told the committee police need help in dealing with drugs being diverted from the program to the streets. “I’m not here to criticize the safe supply program, but to address the serious challenges associated with its diversion. We need innovation to mitigate risks. We need robust enforcement to hold traffickers accountable,” said Truong. Conservative MP Laila Goodridge at the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health. (Source: ourcommons.ca) Here’s how the SOS program works at the Intercommunity Health Centre, as explained by Courtice: The centre has about 200 clients it describes as high risk of death. They’re prescribed an alternate to the toxic drug supply they would otherwise access on the streets. Those clients pick up that prescription every day. Courtice estimates diversion from his centre’s program has happened about a dozen times in the last few years. He says the increase in diversion coincides with other prescribers coming onstream in 2023. “The large increase that police are seeing in diversion, the timing is about when we had the increase in the number of prescribers in our community that were providing Safer Supply. Our program, we have a long history and experience of providing, preventing diversion. So, it’s rare in our program, and we take it seriously,” said Courtice. Federal funding for London’s SOS program comes to an end at the end of March. Courtice says it means six staff dedicated to providing wraparound supports for high-risk addicts will be reassigned.

Stay ConnectedTAMPA, 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

HE the Shura Council Deputy Speaker and Member of Office of IPU Standing Committee on UN Affairs, Dr Hamda bint Hassan al-Sulaiti, represented the Shura Council in the session. The session discussed the role of the UN Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) that was established in 2005, in backing efforts of achieving enduring peace through providing counselling to the UN bodies and assisting conflict-stricken countries. In her remarks during the session, HE Dr al-Sulaiti underscored the pivotal role played by PBC in preventing the flare-up of armed conflicts as a core pillar of achieving a safer world, stressing that addressing the root causes of conflicts, such as human rights violations, poverty and social marginalisation requires reinforcing the PBC’s corporate capabilities, surging the PBC’s allocated resources, enhancing co-operation with regional and international organisations, as well as engaging local communities in peace-building processes through supporting local initiatives and promoting community dialogue. HE the Deputy Speaker noted that focusing on prevention and early intervention through establishing early warning systems and a rigorous analysis of situations is imperative, with an emphasis on enhancing transparency and accountability in PBC’s operations to ensure the intended goals are achieved. She called for reforming civil peacekeeping missions as a more effective tool for achieving peace, stressing the importance of co-ordinated efforts among official and non-official parties to avoid any potential contradictions. HE Dr al-Sulaiti emphasised that such all-encompassing steps represent the foundation for advancing the PBC’s role to be effective in achieving global peace. In addition, the participants discussed the challenges facing peace-building operations amid the intricacies of global conflicts due to climate change, as well as emerging geopolitical and technological advancements. The session highlighted the pressing need to foster the PBC’s role through proposed reforms that encompassed the expansion of PBC’s mandate, elevate funding and boost co-operation with regional and global parties.

Police deny sitting on evidence as Netflix doc brings renewed attention to JonBenet Ramsey’s killing

The decision by Tesco, Musgrave and the BWG Group came after a woman who said Mr McGregor raped her won a civil claim for damages against him. Nikita Hand, who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a case at the High Court in the Irish capital. In a statement, a spokesman for Musgrave said: “Musgrave can confirm these products are no longer available to our store network.” The network includes SuperValu, Centra, Daybreak and Mace. A Tesco spokesperson said: “We can confirm that we are removing Proper No Twelve Whiskey from sale in Tesco stores and online.” A spokesperson for BWG Group said: “The products are no longer listed for distribution across our network of Spar, Eurospar, Mace, Londis and XL stores, including Appleby Westward which operates over 300 Spar stores in the south west of England.” It is understood that other retail outlets including Costcutter and Carry Out will also stop stocking products linked to Mr McGregor. He and some of his business partners sold their majority stake in the Proper Number Twelve Irish whiskey brand. He was reported to have been paid more than £103 million from the sale to Proximo Spirits in 2021. On Monday, a popular video game developer decided to pull content featuring the MMA fighter. The Irish athlete has featured in multiple video games, including voice-acting a character bearing his likeness in additional downloadable content in the Hitman series. Mr McGregor’s character featured as a target for the player-controlled assassin in the game. IO Interactive, the Danish developer and publisher of Hitman, said in a statement: “In light of the recent court ruling regarding Conor McGregor, IO Interactive has made the decision to cease its collaboration with the athlete, effective immediately. “We take this matter very seriously and cannot ignore its implications. “Consequently, we will begin removing all content featuring Mr McGregor from our storefronts starting today.” Last Friday, the High Court jury awarded damages amounting to 248,603.60 euros (around £206,000) to Ms Hand. Mr McGregor made no comment as he left court but later posted on social media that he intended to appeal against the decision.Top 10 Best Water Conservation Companies in India 2025 | Leaders in SustainabilityThere’s a Keurig machine in some Single-serve coffee brewing systems — which allow consumers to make just one cup of coffee at a time by feeding a pod into a slot and pressing a button — have soared in popularity since the early 2000s. Inevitably, this leads to a lot of trash. Every cup of java brewed creates a conundrum: what to do with the coffee pod that produced it. To start, can it be recycled? The answer, in Keurig’s case, is not really. The company’s single-use coffee pods — also known as K-cups — are made of polypropylene plastic, a material that as consumers have been led to think. Two of the country’s largest recycling companies have said they do not accept K-cup pods, and one environmental group calculated that if you lined up all the K-cup pods in the world’s landfills side by side, they . A new coffee pod company claims to have developed a solution to Keurig’s plastic waste problem. Cambio Roasters, which launched in September, offers a Keurig-compatible coffee pod that’s made out of aluminum — which, unlike plastic, is infinitely recyclable. Cambio is led by a team of former Keurig employees, including founder and CEO Kevin Hartley, who was previously a chief innovation officer at Keurig Green Mountain, as the company was formerly known. “This is, in our view, the most exciting innovation in coffee since the K-cup,” said Hartley during a launch-day press call for Cambio. Experts, however, aren’t sure that Cambio understands just how big of a problem K-cups pose to curbside recycling systems. “Really, plastic is just not a good option,” said Jeremy Pare, a visiting professor of business and environment at Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment. But even aluminum, with all its benefits, is “still going to have issues.” Part of the difficulty of creating a truly recyclable packaging option — for just about any consumer good — is the severely fragmented nature of the American recycling landscape. “There are over 10,000 recycling systems in the U.S.,” said Pare, who is also a member of the Plastic Pollution Working Group at Duke’s Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment, and Sustainability. “And yet, at the same time, only a quarter of the population has access to recycling in the U.S.” (Pare lives in one such community with no formal recycling program, just outside of Augusta, Maine.) In the U.S., the question of whether something is recyclable can only accurately be answered on a local level. Another problem is the plastic composition of most K-cup pods. Sustainability concerns have followed the Keurig brand closely as it has scaled. (Once a small startup, Keurig was acquired by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters in 2006; in 2018, Keurig Green Mountain merged with Dr Pepper Snapple to become Keurig Dr Pepper.) Keurig started selling K-cups pods in 2016, with the goal of by 2020. But the company has run into trouble for touting recyclability. In 2018, a California resident for claiming that K-cup pods could be recycled after the foil lid was removed and the coffee grounds were rinsed or dumped out — which resulted in Keurig . And in September of this year, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Keurig for falsely claiming the pods “ .” (Keurig settled the claim by agreeing to pay a $1.5 million penalty fee.) Hartley, who left Keurig in 2017, knew consumers wanted a plastic-free K-cup option — and after years of prototypes and testing, he and his team settled on aluminum as an easier-to-recycle alternative. Aluminum is also impervious to oxygen, which causes coffee to lose its flavor over time. “Whenever we brew a cup of coffee, it tastes exactly as the roastmaster intended,” said Hartley. Cambio isn’t the first single-serve coffee company to opt to ditch plastic or invest in circularity. Nespresso, a popular single-serve coffee company that’s owned by the Nestlé Group, has made its capsules out of aluminum . In 2020, Nespresso announced that its pods would be made of , and it claims its global recycling rate is . But Nespresso pods only work in Nespresso machines. Because Cambio coffee pods are designed to work with Keurig models, Hartley hopes to give consumers what they want “without having to buy a new brewer.” Cambio also allows users to peel back the lid and dump out the grounds before recycling. Nespresso pod , and the company instructs users to recycle their pods as is, grounds and all — but they’re only approved for curbside recycling in and , where a designated recycling contractor cleans them out before reprocessing them. (Nespresso consumers can also mail used pods back to the manufacturer for recycling, or drop them off at Nespresso stores.) Unfortunately, swapping plastic for aluminum doesn’t automatically solve K-cup pods’ recyclability crisis, experts say. What really prevents coffee pods, regardless of what they’re made of, from having a second life is their size. After collection, recyclables are sorted at a facility known as a materials recovery facility, or MRF. MRFs aren’t equipped to collect small items — a common rule of thumb is that they can’t handle anything — and so small objects placed in recycling bins often wind up getting sent to landfills. “The K-cups are so small that they fall through” the machinery in many recycling facilities, said Pare. “So other than separating” coffee pods from the waste stream “individually, there’s no good way to recycle them.” Cambio’s approach to working around this is two-pronged. First, the company says it wants consumers to stack used K-cup pods together — and then pinch them closed — to overcome many recycling facilities’ size requirements. Three or more used K-cup pods should create a piece of aluminum large enough to fit through the machinery at recycling facilities, says Hartley. (These instructions don’t currently appear on Cambio’s packaging or website.) Cambio says it is also developing a device that will make this stacking and pinching of used K-cups easier. “Think of this device as an easy way for consumers to bundle cups together and then toss into their recycling bin,” said Hartley. He added that the company has filed for patents for second-generation Cambio pods that can be “snapped” together after use. Jan Dell, a chemical engineer and an environmental nonprofit founder, said, “I don’t think aluminum pods are a meaningful improvement,” citing their small size as a barrier to being accepted and sorted via curbside recycling systems. “Think of the pods like confetti: impossible to collect back up.” Cambio disagreed with Dell’s characterization of the switch to aluminum, pointing out that currently, essentially no single-use plastic pods are recycled, whereas aluminum can be endlessly recycled. “To Cambio and consumers, these two facts are meaningful.” Hartley also shared that the work of ensuring Cambio’s compatibility with recycling programs across the country is “ongoing.” The company is planning to run tests with MRFs in specific markets “as soon as feasible.” In response to a request for comment, a spokesperson from Keurig Dr Pepper said, “We know our consumers want simplicity and less waste.” They shared that the company has “been lightweighting our pods to reduce the amount of plastic used,” as well as “increasing options for recycling them,” including a soon-to-be-launched program in which customers will be able to mail their used pods to Keurig for recycling. The spokesperson also said the company is “continually exploring” more “sustainable packaging” options. Dell leads the nonprofit The Last Beach Cleanup, which is focused on fighting plastic pollution. The ultimate solution to Keurig’s plastic footprint, she said, is a product that eliminates “the need to collect anything back from customers,” like a fiber-based pod that can be composted along with the grounds. Keurig is currently testing a plant-based pod format that won’t have any plastic or aluminum, and the company expects it to be certified compostable, according to the Keurig Dr Pepper spokesperson. Hartley said he worked on that product for many years, calling it “an amazing innovation.” But these coffee pucks, which are not yet available for sale, to run. “It’s going to take a long time before America is going to throw away 40 or 50 million brewers and buy 40 or 50 million new brewers,” said Hartley. He added, referring to his time with Keurig, “I won’t tell publicly how much money we spent to start from zero and have 50 million American households loving their Keurigs. But it’s a big lift, and it takes decades.” In an interview with the Atlantic in 2015, said, “I feel bad sometimes that I ever did it.” As the market for grows, so will its impact on the environment, unless its products are somehow wildly reimagined and redesigned. Keurigs and Nespresso machines are marketed as both convenient and luxurious, a combination that is likely to keep drawing in new market segments. But eco-conscious coffee brewers can rest easy in the knowledge that you don’t need a Keurig or Nespresso machine to brew one cup of coffee at a time; any coffee maker can be single-serve if you use only the water and coffee grounds you actually need. No pods required — maybe just a filter.

Amid an explosion of capability, artificial intelligence leadership is imperativeThe decision by Tesco, Musgrave and the BWG Group came after a woman who said Mr McGregor raped her won a civil claim for damages against him. Nikita Hand, who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a case at the High Court in the Irish capital. In a statement, a spokesman for Musgrave said: “Musgrave can confirm these products are no longer available to our store network.” The network includes SuperValu, Centra, Daybreak and Mace. A Tesco spokesperson said: “We can confirm that we are removing Proper No Twelve Whiskey from sale in Tesco stores and online.” A spokesperson for BWG Group said: “The products are no longer listed for distribution across our network of Spar, Eurospar, Mace, Londis and XL stores, including Appleby Westward which operates over 300 Spar stores in the south west of England.” It is understood that other retail outlets including Costcutter and Carry Out will also stop stocking products linked to Mr McGregor. He and some of his business partners sold their majority stake in the Proper Number Twelve Irish whiskey brand. He was reported to have been paid more than £103 million from the sale to Proximo Spirits in 2021. On Monday, a popular video game developer decided to pull content featuring the MMA fighter. The Irish athlete has featured in multiple video games, including voice-acting a character bearing his likeness in additional downloadable content in the Hitman series. Mr McGregor’s character featured as a target for the player-controlled assassin in the game. IO Interactive, the Danish developer and publisher of Hitman, said in a statement: “In light of the recent court ruling regarding Conor McGregor, IO Interactive has made the decision to cease its collaboration with the athlete, effective immediately. “We take this matter very seriously and cannot ignore its implications. “Consequently, we will begin removing all content featuring Mr McGregor from our storefronts starting today.” Last Friday, the High Court jury awarded damages amounting to 248,603.60 euros (around £206,000) to Ms Hand. Mr McGregor made no comment as he left court but later posted on social media that he intended to appeal against the decision.
