ssbet77 online casino login Smith scores 23 in Furman's 69-63 win against PrincetonO n November 5th as the US elections results were being announced the Caribbean watched, knowing that the results would have significant implications for our future. Of course, ‘if America coughs, the Caribbean catches the cold.’ But, as it was clear that Donald Trump had won the US Presidency, Caribbean people now started to question what it would mean for us and the stability or instability of the global international order. As such, what will Trump 2.0 mean for the Caribbean? Climate Change You Might Be Interested In Shoring up good ideas I resolve to... Wellness for life: The importance of self-care While we don’t know for certain what policies the Trump administration will pursue internally on climate change in light of increased climate-related disasters across the US, and the fact that the Inflation Reduction Act has continued to pour over $390 billion into EVs, and other climate resilient technologies, which have created millions of jobs and other benefits to Republican affiliated states. These may all disappear if he repeals sections of the Act. However, If this has impacts during the midterm elections, he may not be as keen to repeal. But his global actions will have disastrous impacts for the Caribbean, particularly since he has promised to withdraw the US again from the Paris Agreement, and possibly to withdraw from the UNFCCC , which is the multilateral framework for the reduction of CO2 in the world, and which also provides financial and technical assistance for developing countries like the Caribbean to mitigate climate change through a shift to renewable energy, and to adapt to its impacts and respond to the loss and damage it creates. When these are coupled with his denial of the existence of climate change as a ‘hoax’ , and his intention to ‘ drill baby bill’ and ‘frack, frack, frack’, like never before, increasing the fossil fuel stock of the US, which some have suggested would not only roll back the gains by President Biden, but contribute an estimated 4 billion tons of additional CO2 emissions by 2030 and 25 billion tons by 2050, then these increases would significantly increase the vulnerability of the Caribbean to extreme weather events, more ferocious hurricanes, devastating droughts and floods, and deadly heatwaves, which can continue to plummet our GDPs, increase poverty, destroy infrastructure and roll back any gains made in our climate recovery processes. As we know, our Caribbean countries are low-lying and heavily exposed to rising sea levels, which erodes coastlines, and displaces populations and industries. Any withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, which is meant to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs), will increase the emissions of these gases, thereby exacerbating the climate crisis and affecting our ability to protect lives and livelihoods. Of course, it is a no brainer that with warmer ocean temperatures that increase the intensity and ferocity of our hurricanes, the US exit will increase the levels of financial and technical support needed to bolster the climate recovery effort. Such an exit is even more egregious when you add the fact that the US, together with the other developed countries, are the ones that have created this existential climate crisis. The Caribbean may unfortunately be in for some hotter months, longer droughts and more devastating floods. What is needed now is not an increase in GHGs, which fuels the extreme weather patterns, which Trump promises, but a radical decarbonisation of the US and other global economies. Caribbean leaders should therefore be prepared to dialogue with the president on these critical issues, but also to engage other European counterparts to step up and not bend over backwards to try and mould the climate regime around the vagaries of the US political currents. These countries, together with China, must now play leading roles in reducing the climate crisis. This is not to suggest however that when the US exits, the climate movement is ‘trumped’, but it is only morally appropriate that due to their overwhelming historical and current contributions to global greenhouse gas emissions, that the US contribute towards reducing the effects on developing countries. Additionally, they must meet their financial obligation, not just to the USD$100 billion per annum that was promised from 2020 by developed countries, but to a higher New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) on Climate Finance. It is one thing to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, like Trump did during his first presidency, but it is another thing entirely to commit to increasing greenhouse gas emissions by expanding oil and gas exploration, given the severe impacts that Caribbean and other SIDS are already experiencing from the climate crisis. Immigration Trump’s immigration policy, according to him, would see the largest domestic deportation operation in human history of millions of illegal immigrants. For the Caribbean, and Haiti in particular, this is troubling, because Trump’s inward-looking policies will devastatingly affect all who flee from war, climate crises, strife, political upheavals and the collapse of their states in search for a better life or the American dream, which has sustained the economic prosperity of America. This use of excessive force against already vulnerable and marginalised populations is testament of Trump’s disregard for human dignity and rights. Of course, it is easy for us to sit in comfort and say that ‘they should enter legally now or that they should return to their countries.’ That is a privileged position as our countries are not facing the life-threatening issues that Haiti and others do, requiring individuals to flee, as a condition of survival. Who feels it knows it! But have we for one moment considered that it is also a global responsibility to ensure integration of displaced peoples, in tandem with our humanitarian and civil rights requirements, particularly in circumstances where the US has also contributed towards this destabilisation and has an opportunity to cure these wrongs? At least in Haiti’s case for certain. But, Trump may only compound the problem, making the work of the Expert Group more difficult, if he refuses to assist, but also if he increases his Haitian animus. Remember his eating the animals’ comments, and how they were poisoning the blood of America, ignoring the diversity of America. What is even more certain is that Trump may not provide support for the improvement of the Haitian state, such that migration is an option, and not a necessity. It will also now become almost impossible to gain a legal path to citizenship, as even those who have become citizens by marrying an American citizen or their child is a birther are at risk of deportation, thereby further decreasing their quality of lives causing migration issues for the Caribbean. The implications for the Caribbean are a general sentiment of fear of migration and lack of belonging as they search for a better life, and a concomitant fear by those who voted for ‘closed borders’ of all who are not of the blood of America i.e., also Caribbean peoples. But, more directly, if there are Caribbean peoples who are ‘illegal immigrants’, working and providing remittances to their families back home, one can potentially see a massive reduction in the country’s remittances income, which contribute towards healthcare, education among other areas. The reduction will exacerbate poverty, which has wider economic impacts for the Caribbean economy. Further, there may be deeper fiscal and political strains on other Caribbean countries who would not be able to handle this sudden migration flows. The Caribbean region as a whole through their political leaders need to engage the President on the abovementioned. Foreign Aid In Trump 2.0, particularly with his isolationist ‘America First’ philosophy, there may be less pushback to aid cuts as there were in Trump 1.0, and it could mean that key developmental programmes and agencies within the Caribbean could receive less funding, particularly in areas that are not favourable to the Trump administration. It means that the Caribbean should now utilise the opportunity to forge new relationships with new nations, as opposed to confining itself to looking North. Trade Trump will seek to reduce the US Trade deficit, ensuring manufacturing jobs stay within the US, and there’s a baseline global tariff for imports. That has the potential to affect Caribbean exports to the US, making it more difficult through stricter trade regulations. Should there also be a modification of the CBI, which provides certain duty-free access to the US market, in favour of US production, it could also reduce the competitive advantage of Caribbean goods in US markets. But, recognising the large trade deficit with the US, the Caribbean poses no real threat to US jobs, and its beneficial nature to US industry might prove helpful to its continuation. In the end, Caribbean leaders and people should never see the election of Donald Trump as far removed from impacting the Caribbean region but heed the words of Rudder when he said that they’re trying to pass all laws to spoil our beauty, but in the end we shall prevail. We must take a side or be lost in the rubble, in a divided world that don’t need islands no more. Are we doomed forever to be at somebody’s mercy, little keys can open up mighty doors. Rally!

Chiefs offense hitting its stride with return of wide receiver Marquise Brown from injury

Germany's president said Tuesday that a deadly car-ramming attack on a Christmas market had cast a "dark shadow" over this year's celebrations but urged the nation not to be driven apart by extremists. In his traditional Christmas address, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier sought to issue a message of healing four days after the brutal attack in the eastern city of Magdeburg killed five people and left over 200 wounded. "A dark shadow hangs over this Christmas," said the head of state, pointing to the "pain, horror and bewilderment over what happened in Magdeburg just a few days before Christmas". He made a call for national unity as a debate about security and immigration is flaring again: "Hatred and violence must not have the final word. Let's not allow ourselves to be driven apart. Let's stand together." His words came a day after the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) held what it called a memorial rally for the victims in Magdeburg, where one speaker demanded that Germany "must close the borders". Nearby an anti-extremist initiative was held under the motto "Don't Give Hate a Chance". Steinmeier recognised that there was a "great deal of dissatisfaction about politics" in Germany but insisted that "our democracy is and remains strong". A Saudi doctor, Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, 50, was arrested Friday at the scene of the attack in which a rented SUV ploughed at high speed through the crowd of revellers, bringing death and chaos to the festive event. His motive still remains unclear, days after Germany's deadliest attack in years. Abdulmohsen has in his many online posts voiced strongly anti-Islam views, anger at German authorities and support for far-right conspiracy narratives on the "Islamisation" of Europe. News outlet Der Spiegel reported he wrote on social media platform X in May that he expected to die "this year" and was seeking "justice" at any cost. Investigators found his will in the BMW that he used in the attack, the outlet said -- he stated that everything he owned was to go to the German Red Cross, and it contained no political messages. Die Welt daily, citing unnamed security sources, said that Abdulmohsen had been treated for a mental illness in the past, thought this was not immediately confirmed by authorities. - 'You are not alone' - The attack has fuelled an already bitter debate on migration and security in Germany, two months before national elections and with the far-right AfD party riding high in opinion polls. The government is facing mounting questions about possible errors and missed warnings about Abdulmohsen, who was arrested next to the battered BMW sports utility vehicle. Saudi Arabia said it had repeatedly warned Germany about its citizen, who came to Germany in 2006 and was granted refugee status 10 years later. A source close to the Saudi government told AFP that the kingdom had sought his extradition. Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government has pledged to fully investigate whether there were security lapses before the attack. The Saudi suspect has been remanded in custody in a top-security facility on five counts of murder and 205 of attempted murder, prosecutors said, but not so far on terrorism-related charges. German Christmas markets have been specially secured since a jihadist attacker rammed a truck through a Berlin Christmas market in 2016, killing 13 people. The Magdeburg event too had been shielded by barricades, but the attacker managed to exploit a five-metre gap when he steered the car into the site and then raced into the unsuspecting crowd. Steinmeier offered his condolences for relatives of those injured and killed "in such a terrible way" -- when the attack killed a nine-year-old boy and four women aged 45 to 75. "You are not alone in your pain," he told the hundreds of affected families. "The people throughout our country feel for you and mourn with you."

The academy, which is also preparing to conduct a thorough study and document the history of the community, has set up an expert committee for this purpose. Academy chairman Umar UH told TOI that a meeting of the expert committee was already held in Bengaluru. He said that the academy has identified 51 cents of land in Asaigoli, Ullal taluk , to set up Beary Bhavana , which will also house an exclusive museum. "We have already finalised the plan to construct the Beary Bhavana. The govt has already released Rs 3 crore, and an additional Rs 3 crore is also expected. A plan was prepared earlier. However, after I took charge as the chairman of the academy, a new plan was drawn up. As per the revised plan, the Beary Bhavana will house a museum in a 3,000sqft area and a library and reading room in 1,500sqft. While a 500sqft area will be reserved for a research centre, office and commercial space will be coming up in the remaining area," he said, adding that the new plan was prepared in consultation with Speaker UT Khader, who is the MLA of the constituency. The Beary Bhavana building work will be taken up by the Karnataka State Housing Board, he said. "The museum proposed in the Beary Bhavana will not be just a place to showcase artefacts. Instead, it should cater to research and documentation of the history, culture, literature, folk arts, and traditions of the Beary-speaking community in the region. A committee of experts, including Prof Purushothama Bilimale, chairperson of the Kannada Development Authority (KDA), and others, has been formed in this regard. The academy will grant fellowships with financial support to scholars who are willing to take up research on a topic that the expert committee suggests," he said. Further, the museum will incorporate state-of-the-art technology, enabling visitors to gain comprehensive insights into Beary heritage and customs through multimedia presentations, including audio-visual displays and interactive demonstrations, Umar said, adding that he plans to complete the project before the end of his three-year tenure.
