Adani CFO says U.S. charges linked to only one business contract Adani CFO says U.S. charges linked to only one business contract Chairperson of Indian conglomerate Adani Group, Gautam Adani, speaking at the World Congress of Accountants in Mumbai on November 19, 2022. Indranil Mukherjee | Afp | Getty Images A U.S. bribery indictment of Indian billionaire Gautam Adani is linked to one contract of Adani Green Energy that makes up some 10% of its business, and no other firms in the conglomerate are accused of wrongdoing, the group’s CFO said on Saturday. On Wednesday, Gautam Adani, one of the world’s richest men, and seven others were indicted for ****** by U.S. prosecutors over their alleged roles in a $265 million scheme to bribe Indian officials to secure power-supply deals. Adani has denied all allegations calling them “baseless”. Group CFO Jugeshinder Singh sought to defend the allegations on Saturday saying none of Adani’s 11 public companies “are subject to indictment” or “are accused of any wrongdoing in the said legal filing”. The allegations in the U.S. indictment relates to “one contract of Adani Green, which is roughly 10% of overall business of Adani Green”, Singh said on X. The U.S. prosecutor charges are the biggest setback for India’s $143 billion Adani Group, which was last year hit by Hindenburg Research’s allegations of improper use of offshore tax havens, claims the company denied. The U.S. indictment has already had a significant impact on the business. The group entity’s shares have plummeted, some global banks are considering temporarily halting fresh credit to Adani and Kenya has cancelled two deals with Adani worth over $2.5 billion. Adani, which has several other global projects, is also charged with misleading U.S. investors about Adani Green’s compliance with antibribery principles and laws. Singh said on Saturday, they became aware of the “specificity” of the U.S. charges only two days ago. “We were aware that something is afoot,” he said, adding the company disclosed as much to investors in its $750 million 2024 bond offering, about $175 million of which was raised from financial institutions in the ******* States. The U.S indictment, however, says the bond offering “contained false and misleading assurance about, among other things, the Indian Energy Company’s (Adani Green’s) ‘corporate governance’ and touted ‘maintaining transparency and compliance in every aspect’.” The charges also put the spotlight on Sagar Adani, a director at Adani Green and millennial scion of the company who kept track of hundreds of millions of dollars of alleged bribes to Indian officials on his mobile phone. Singh said the group would make a more detailed comment once it has legal approval as the matter is before the courts.

Why you’re wrong about AI art, according to the Ai-Da ****** that just made a $1 million painting Why you’re wrong about AI art, according to the Ai-Da ****** that just made a $1 million painting Science fiction promised us ****** butlers, but it seems they rather fancy themselves as artists instead. And who can blame them? On November 7, a painting of the mathematician Alan Turing by an AI-powered ****** called Ai-Da sold at auction for a cool $1,084,000 (around £865,000). That’s a more appealing lifestyle than having to sprint around a Boston Dynamics ******** course. The Sotheby’s auction house said Ai-Da is “the first humanoid ****** artist to have an artwork sold at auction.” It probably also set the record the most online grumbling about a painting, which is understandable – after all, shouldn’t robots be sweeping up and making the tea, while we artfully dab at the canvases? The Ai-Da ****** (seen here standing in front of her record-setting ‘AI ****’ painting) uses a combination of cameras in her eyes, AI algorithms, and a robotic arm to make her artworks. (Image credit: Ai-Da) Naturally, the Ai-Da ****** and its maker Aidan Meller don’t agree that art should be ring-fenced by humans. As Marvin from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy once noted: “Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to take you down to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction? ’Cos I don’t.” But rather than rely on Douglas Adams to fill in the blanks, we asked Ai-Da and Meller what they’d say to those who are skeptical about AI-generated art – and what the landmark ‘A.I. ****’ painting means for the future of creativity… The latest ‘non-artist’ Ai-Da herself usually prefers to let her art do the talking. When we asked her why she paints her answer was: “The key value of my work is in its capacity to serve as a catalyst for dialogue about emerging technologies”. Fortunately, her creator Aidan Meller, a gallerist and veteran of the art world, was more forthcoming on why team Ai-Da doesn’t think the painting or her work should be considered a threat to human artists. The Ai-Da ****** at the AI for Good 2024 summit – YouTube Watch On “Contemporary art has always provoked discussions about what art is and Ai-Da and her work is no different,” Meller told us. “Just her existence is quite controversial for the art world,” he added. Given the reaction to the ‘A.I. ****’ painting, her presence is also pretty controversial for ******** artists, too. Sign up to be the first to know about unmissable ****** Friday deals on top tech, plus get all your favorite TechRadar content. Meller prefers to see Ai-Da as the natural successor to the artistic disruptors of the past. “History is littered with artists that society called “non-artists”. Everyone from Picasso to Matisse challenged people’s idea of what art was during their time. Because it didn’t fit into their conception of what art should be,” he told us. “Duchamp challenged the idea of what art could be by putting a urinal in an art gallery and changed the future of art. The Ai-Da ****** challenges the idea of what an artist can be, by creating art using AI technology and creative agency,” he added. But how exactly is AI art created, in Ai-Da’s case, and are humanoid robots a necessary part of it gaining mainstream acceptance? After all, there’s a difference between hitting the ‘create’ button in the best AI art generators and seeing a ****** physically apply strokes to a canvas. Who’s really holding the brush? In reality, Ai-Da’s work is a collaboration between AI, robots and humans, with the latter still a very necessary part of the process. “We had a discussion with Ai-Da about what she might paint in relation to the concept of “AI for Good”, and she came up with Alan Turing,” Meller explained. “We then showed Ai-Da ****** an image of Alan Turning, which Ai-Da responded to by creating the artwork. She painted 15 images of Alan Turing and then selected three to be combined together to form A.I. ****,” he added. A combination of Ai-Da and human artists apply the finishing textures to her artworks – which means she is very much a “machine-human collaboration”, as her creators describe her. (Image credit: Ai-Da) Those three portraits were uploaded to a computer and then printed on a canvas, with Ai-Da then applying marks and textures to finish the painting. Some final bits of texture were added by human assistants, in the parts of the canvas where Ai-Da couldn’t reach. The finished artwork has more in common with Warhol’s ‘Factory’ process, then, rather than a decade-long Da Vinci masterpiece. But what does this all mean for the future of art? The $1 million question Ai-Da’s creator definitely isn’t on the side of the AI cynics like Linux founder Linus Torvalds, who recently slammed AI as “90% marketing and 10% reality”. “I think the response to the painting at auction shows that people understand the importance and power of AI in how it is shaping the world we live in and all of our futures,” Aidan Meller said. “The auction shows that AI is on the rise and it is going to change society enormously”. The painting’s landmark price tag, which shattered its pre-auction estimate of around around $120,000-$180,000 (£100,00-£150,000) suggests something has shifted in art collecting, too. “I think it does also mean that the art world is beginning to accept that AI art is here to stay. It also shows that creativity comes in many forms and that AI has the ability to be creative and to add value to the world,” Meller added. Ai-Da has also perfected the artful side-glance pose perfected by artists over the decades. (Image credit: Ai-Da) That last point ******** up for debate and will remain so indefinitely. The makers of the popular digital art app Procreate, for example, recently said it will never embrace generative AI. In fact, they went a bit ******* than that, with CEO James Cuda stating: “I really f***ing hate generative AI. I don’t like what’s happening in the industry and I don’t like what it’s doing to artists.” Clearly, Ai-Da and her process is few steps beyond the basic generative AI we’re seeing bolted onto consumer apps, but it could be a tough battle to win over skeptics. Then again, Ai-Da’s creator says the point of the ****** is to stimulate debate rather than convince you to swap sides… The ‘fourth industrial revolution’ For many, Ai-Da herself is the art story rather than the $1 million painting she co-created. That’s something Meller echoed when we asked him why Ai-Da was created in the first place. “The key value of Ai-Da as a ****** artist is not necessarily in acceptance, but in the capacity to serve as a catalyst for dialogue about emerging technologies,” he said. Clearly, the art world thinks there’s a monetary value in the results produced by the project, but Meller thinks it goes beyond that. (Image credit: Ai-Da) “One purpose of contemporary art is to ask questions of our time and to challenge the status quo, creating debate,” he said. “So art created by an AI-powered ****** was a good platform to engage audiences into a discussion around the ethical issues surrounding the development of AI technology and our response as a society.” Ai-Da herself isn’t new – we first covered the portrait artist back in 2019 – but the rapid development of AI models has helped transform her skills and make her the face of a hot debate that is sparking controversies on a weekly basis. And Meller admits that Ai-Da is as much as a conduit for debate as an established artist. “We are currently going through the fourth Industrial revolution, and this is resulting in extreme shifts in both technology and human behavior globally,” he said. “So the heart of the project is a ****** artist that explores the impact new technologies are having on society”. Art vs sat-navs The core of the Ai-Da debate revolves around the question of whether there’s something unique, even sacrosanct, about art. For many, art is a communication between humans – the creator and audience – which gives AI-driven art a hollow air of meaninglessness. But Meller disagrees, seeing Ai-Da’s approach as the latest development of how humans are using technology. The Ai-Da ****** using ink and watercolor – YouTube Watch On “Many people look at Ai-Da and think about her being an AI-powered ******, but in many ways humans are becoming more robotic in our use of technology,” he said. “We are transferring our decision-making and our agency onto machines, and in lots of ways as humans we are merging with machines and becoming cyborgs ourselves” he observed, pointing to smartphones as the obvious example. “When sat-nav came out, we didn’t quite trust it, but now we wouldn’t go anywhere without it. AI has infiltrated every part of our lives, from what work we will do, what news we watch, what kind of partner we have, what kind of baby even we might want to have,” he added. “By painting this picture of Alan Turing, Ai-Da ****** is really digging into all of these big ethical issues.” We’ve been here before While some will flinch at parallels being drawn between sat-navs and paintings, there’s no doubt Ai-Da has succeeded in reviving a debate that’s as old as at art itself. The obvious example is the invention of photography in the mid-1800s, which shocked painters who dismissed the mechanized ‘imitation’ of their painterly hand as an art form. Ultimately, photography and art learned to not only co-exist, but to develop a symbiotic relationship. The French painter Degas was influenced by photography, while holding a contempt for the commercialized industry it became. As ‘pictorialist’ photographers sought to imitate traditional watercolors, painters moved towards impressionism. (Image credit: Ai-Da) Will AI-driven art and human artists do the same, rather than seeking to extinguish each other? History would suggest so. Whatever the financial or artistic merits of the ‘A.I. ****’ painting, it’s certainly a lightning rod for debate – and whichever side of the debate you’re on, it’s one that’s worth engaging in. As the Hungarian artist Laszlo Moholy-Nagy said in the early 1900s, “anyone who fails to understand photography will be one of the illiterates of the future”. AI-driven art is clearly here to stay and, while we may eventually get our ****** butlers, it’ll probably pay to engage with their artistic cousins in the meantime.

Trump pick Lutnick’s firm in talks with Tether for $2 billion bitcoin lending project, Bloomberg reports Trump pick Lutnick’s firm in talks with Tether for $2 billion bitcoin lending project, Bloomberg reports (Reuters) – U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick is in talks to deepen his financial ties with the company operating the world’s largest stablecoin, Tether, by launching a $2 billion project to lend dollars to clients against bitcoin, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday. Lutnick’s financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald is discussing receiving support from Tether to help fund the project, that could potentially reach tens of billions of dollars, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. Tether and Cantor did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment outside business hours. Tether uses Cantor to hold billions of dollars worth of Treasuries that support the value of its stablecoin in a relationship that helps Lutnick’s firm earn tens of millions of dollars annually, Bloomberg reported. Earlier this week, Trump said he would nominate Wall Street CEO Howard Lutnick to lead his trade and tariff strategy as head of the Commerce Department. He would also have “additional direct responsibility” for the U.S. Trade Representative’s office. Lutnick has been known to promote the adoption of cryptocurrency. The Commerce Department oversees a sprawling array of functions with nearly 47,000 employees, from the U.S. Census Bureau to weather forecasting, ocean navigation and investment promotion.

Southern California woman arrested, accused of operating brothels disguised as skin care spas Southern California woman arrested, accused of operating brothels disguised as skin care spas A Southern California woman was arrested for allegedly operating brothels at the skin care spas she owned in Ventura and Orange counties. The suspect was identified as Amanda Xia, 44, from Yorba Linda, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office. In early 2024, detectives began investigating reports that Swan Spa, located in the 100 block of North Rancho Road in Thousand Oaks, was allegedly operating as a commercial **** establishment. Authorities said evidence was found that confirmed the suspect, Xia, was financially benefitting from the illicit services her employees were offering to customers. Xia also owned three other spa locations which investigators identified as brothels involved in similar ******** **** operations. “Detectives were able to positively identify multiple male individuals suspected of purchasing commercial **** at each of the four locations under investigation,” officials said. Xia was arrested at her Orange County home on charges of pimping, pandering and money laundering. On Nov.13, search warrants were served at the suspect’s home and all four spa locations: Swan Spa – 100 block of North Rancho Road, Thousand Oaks Star Spa – 400 ****** of North Ventu Park Road, Newbury Park Victoria Spa – 23000 block of El Toro Road, Lake Forest Four Seasons Spa – 20000 block of Lake Forest Drive, Lake Forest The coordinated operation involved multiple agencies including the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Xia was taken into custody and is being held on $100,000 bail. “The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank members of the public for their ongoing support and due diligence in providing information to assist our agency in solving *******,” officials said.

AI increasingly used for sextortion, scams and child ******, says senior *** police chief | Artificial intelligence (AI) AI increasingly used for sextortion, scams and child ******, says senior *** police chief | Artificial intelligence (AI) Paedophiles, scammers, hackers and ********** of all kinds are increasingly exploiting artificial intelligence (AI) to target victims in new and harmful ways, a senior police chief has warned. Alex Murray, the national police lead for AI, said that the use of the technology was growing rapidly because of its increasing accessibility and that police had to “move fast” to keep on top of the threat. “We know through the history of policing that ********** are inventive and will use anything they can to commit ******. They’re certainly using AI to commit ****** now,” he said. “It can happen on an international and serious organised ****** scale, and it can happen in someone’s bedroom … You can think of any ****** type and put it through an AI lens and say: ‘What is the opportunity here?’” Speaking at the National Police Chiefs’ Council conference in London last week, Murray revealed concerns over emerging AI “heists” in which fraudsters use deepfake technology to impersonate company executives and trick their colleagues into transferring large sums of money. This year, a finance worker at a multinational firm was duped into paying HK$200m (£20.5m) to ********** after a video conference call in which the scammers were able to convincingly pose as the company’s chief financial officer. Similar cases have been reported in several countries, while the first heist of its kind is believed to have targeted a British energy firm in 2019. Murray, who is director of threat leadership at the National ****** Agency, said the phenomenon was a “high cost, low prevalence ******” and that he was personally aware of dozens of cases in the ***. He said that the greatest volume of ********* AI use was by paedophiles, who have been using generative AI to create images and videos depicting child ******* ******. “We’re talking thousands and thousands and thousands of images,” Murray said. “All images, whether they are synthetic or otherwise, are against the law, and people are using generative AI to create images of children doing the most horrific things.” Last month, 27-year-old Hugh Nelson, from Bolton, was jailed for 18 years after offering a paid service to online paedophile networks in which he used AI to generate requested images of children being abused. The same technology is also being used for sextortion, a type of online blackmail in which ********** threaten to release indecent images of victims unless they pay money or carry out demands. The phenomenon has previously used photos that victims had shared of themselves, often with former partners or abusers who used false identities to gain their trust, but AI can now be used to “nudify” and manipulate photos taken from social media. Murray said hackers were also using AI to look for weaknesses in targeted code or software and to provide “areas of focus” for cyber-attacks. “Most of the AI criminality at the moment is around child ****** imagery and ******, but there are a lot of potential threats,” he added. There is mounting concern that apparently benign chatbots could incite people into ****** and terrorism after revelations that a man who tried to ******* Queen Elizabeth II with a crossbow in 2021 had gained encouragement from a female “AI friend”. Jonathan Hall, the government’s independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, has been researching the potential uses of AI by ********** groups and highlighted “chatbot radicalisation” as a threat alongside *********** generation and ******* facilitation and planning. skip past newsletter promotion Analysis and opinion on the week’s news and culture brought to you by the best Observer writers Privacy Notice: Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.

In a speech at Lancaster House last month, Hall warned: “Even if we don’t know precisely how generative AI is going to be exploited by terrorists, we need a common understanding of generative AI and a confidence to act, and certainly not a reaction that says: ‘This is just too difficult.’ “We need to avoid the mistakes of the early internet ******* where there is a free-for-all.” Murray said that with AI technology becoming increasingly advanced, and more generative text and image software coming on to the market and into widespread use, its exploitation by ********** of all kinds was expected to rise. “Sometimes you can spot if something is an AI image, but very quickly that will disappear,” he warned. “People using this sort of software at the moment are still quite niche, but it will become very easy to use. “The ease of entry, realism and availability are the three vectors which will probably increase … We, as policing, have to move fast in this space to keep on top of it. “I think it’s a reasonable assumption that between now and 2029 we will see significant increases in all these ****** types, and we want to prevent that,” he said.

******* says ****** who went missing in the UAE was ******* ******* says ****** who went missing in the UAE was ******* TEL AVIV, ******* (AP) — ******* said Sunday that the body of an ********-Moldovan ****** who went missing in the ******* ***** Emirates has been found after he was ******* in what it described as a “heinous antisemitic ******* incident.” The statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said ******* “will act with all means to seek justice with the ********** responsible for his ******.” There was no immediate comment from the UAE. Zvi Kogan, 28, an ultra-Orthodox ****** who went missing on Thursday, ran a Kosher grocery store in the futuristic city of Dubai, where Israelis have flocked for commerce and tourism since the two countries forged diplomatic ties in the 2020 Abraham Accords. Trusted news and daily delights, right in your inbox See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. The agreement has held through more than a year of soaring regional tensions unleashed by ******’ Oct. 7, 2023 ******* into southern *******. But *******’s devastating retaliatory offensive in Gaza and its invasion of Lebanon, after months of fighting with the Hezbollah militant group, have stoked anger among Emiratis, ***** nationals and others living in the the UAE. Iran, which supports ****** and Hezbollah, has also been threatening to retaliate against ******* after a wave of airstrikes ******* carried out in October in response to an Iranian ballistic missile *******. The Emirati government did not respond to a request for comment. Early Sunday, the UAE’s state-run WAM news agency acknowledged Kogan’s disappearance but pointedly did not acknowledge he held ******** citizenship, referring to him only as being Moldovan. The Emirati Interior Ministry described Kogan as being “missing and out of contact.” “Specialized authorities immediately began search and investigation operations upon receiving the report,” the Interior Ministry said. *******’s largely ceremonial president, Isaac Herzog, condemned the ******** and thanked Emirati authorities for “their swift action.” He said he trusts they “will work tirelessly to bring the perpetrators to justice.” Kogan was an emissary of the Chabad Lubavitch movement, a prominent and highly observant branch of ultra-Orthodox Judaism based in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood in New York City.

Don’t know what to buy your loved ones for Christmas? Just ask ChatGPT | ChatGPT Don’t know what to buy your loved ones for Christmas? Just ask ChatGPT | ChatGPT Some people love buying Christmas presents. Polly Arrowsmith starts making a note of what her friends and family like, then hunts for bargains, slowly and carefully. Vie Portland begins her shopping in January and has a theme each year, from heart mirrors to inspirational books. And Betsy Benn spent so much time thinking about presents, she ended up opening her own online gift business. How would these gift-giving experts react to a trend that is either a timesaving brainwave or an appalling *********** of the Christmas spirit: asking ChatGPT to do it for them? The answer, like Christmas Day, will have to wait. But are people really asking ChatGPT to write their Christmas lists? It seems so. There are dozens of custom prompts on Open AI’s tool for people to generate Christmas gift lists and a flurry of Reddit posts from people searching for inspiration through a conversation with a chatbot. Are many people doing this? ChatGPT’s **** didn’t know, or if it did, it wasn’t telling the Observer. Open AI’s spokesperson didn’t know either, but said people had also been making Christmas quizzes, designing cards and crafting “creative responses” to their children’s letters to Santa. (Other AI chatbots – Google’s Gemini and Perplexity AI – were similarly ignorant.) Even if only a handful of people are doing it so far, the AI companies expect more to start soon. Last week, Perplexity launched “Buy with Pro” in the US, an AI shopping assistant that will let users research products, then buy them on Perplexity’s website, for $20 a month. This move, days before the peak of the ****** Friday retail frenzy, is a direct ******** on Google’s online advertising stranglehold, according to Jai Khan, a director at Push, a digital marketing agency. “Some people start their shopping journeys on Amazon, and some young people use TikTok, but Google has been the dominant player,” he said. “The big thing for us is what happens to Google ads if people start going to ChatGPT for answers.” There are reams of Christmas gift guides online predicting which products will be the subject of the annual toy hysteria (look out for revivals of Furbies and Beyblade spinning tops, a waddling mother duck with ducklings and a ***** blaster), while Lego’s Wicked range is flying off the shelves. Searching online is a small part of present shopping for Portland, a 53-year-old confidence coach from Winchester. “I tend to shop all year round for gifts – it’s very frustrating when you find the perfect gift in February, only for it to be out of production in December,” she said. “It helps with budget, too.” Betsy Benn, who sells bespoke gifts such as Christmas tree decorations. Photograph: Emma Jackson Benn hates the idea of straight-to-charity-shop gifts. “I want my loved ones to feel truly seen, truly appreciated for their own quirks,” she said. The 49-year-old from Cheltenham founded betsybenn.com, a business selling personalised gifts such as Christmas tree decorations. “The joy when the recipient knows this is just for them and not a hastily grabbed bottle of wine in a festive gift bag is an unbeatable feeling. And don’t we all just want to be seen and understood? Isn’t that the whole point of human connection?” The problem – as anyone getting a can of deodorant, an out-of-date voucher or red underwear two sizes too big will know – is that gifts too often demonstrate the giver has neither seen nor understood. “Between 60% and 70% of people get shopping for Christmas presents wrong,” said Cathrine Jansson-Boyd, professor of consumer psychology at Anglia Ruskin University. “Looking at shopping patterns, the majority of people leave it to the last minute and that just shows they have no idea what they are going to buy anyway.” Add in the confusion of trying to fathom what someone of an entirely different generation might enjoy and it’s easy to see why an AI-generated list could be a solution to this complex social negotiation. “The reality is, AI is a tool that’s harvesting data off the internet and comes up with two plus two equals four,” Jansson-Boyd said. “It can’t do emotion, it can’t do personalisation, because they can’t be quantified. “Having said that, I think it’s a great idea, because we often run out of ideas ourselves.” Faced with this kind of problem – a YouGov poll last year found 45% of Christmas shoppers were stressed about gift shopping – some people opt out entirely and just tell people what they want. skip past newsletter promotion Analysis and opinion on the week’s news and culture brought to you by the best Observer writers Privacy Notice: Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.

AI may be a solution there too, as most AI bots give users the option of remembering conversations and using them to inform future responses. “You can ask ChatGPT, ‘Tell me something about myself I don’t know,’” Khan said. “The insights you get back are fascinating.” We could reach a point where heavy users find their best chance of being seen and understood is by their AI ****. So how did the Observer’s gift gurus cope with ChatGPT? Arrowsmith was unimpressed with the suggestions for her sister. It suggested Neom candles “but the prices were considerably higher than I bought yesterday on ****** Friday deals”, she said. “Everything was so generic. I have bought her designer bags, not generic tote bags. “I also repeated the exercise for my dad: 83, male with a few interests,” she said. “It assumed he might like a foot massage machine, a personalised walking stick, a meal delivery service, or a newspaper subscription. My dad would wonder why I bought him any of these things, as he buys his own subscriptions, does his food shopping, and walks 20,000 steps a day.” Portland asked what she could get a “time-poor mum of disabled children” and thought the suggestions of spa days and long baths were inappropriate. “It may be what she needs, but not what she has time for,” she said. Other options were cleaning services, food delivery boxes and clothes, creating “a risk of offence, with getting the size wrong”. “And there was a suggestion of gifts for her children – I wouldn’t do that. That just makes it all about her as a mum, and not as an individual.” Benn found the way to avoid cliched, generic gifts was to keep asking questions. “When you start adding interests or personalities, you get much better results – I love that,” she said. “You might find an amazing hit on your first go, or find yourself inspired by some of the suggestions and follow the rabbit ***** to something epic. “If someone said they’d used AI to help them find a gift for me, just the fact they’d thought about me, sat down, explored options and found something they thought perfect, well, it would fill my heart to the brim.” Source link #Dont #buy #loved #Christmas #ChatGPT #ChatGPT Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Andy Murray coaching Novak Djokovic: What it could mean for friends and rivals Andy Murray coaching Novak Djokovic: What it could mean for friends and rivals The most surprising part is the timing. Murray only retired from playing four months ago. That time has been shared between his family and his golf clubs, but as he told the Control the Controllables podcast last year, if his children are at school, he is often bored by Wednesday lunchtime. The opportunity to work with Djokovic is unlikely to come around again and, having lost four Melbourne finals to the Serb, he may think he will never have a better chance to win the *********** Open. Joking aside, there do not appear to be many downsides. Djokovic has not currently entered any events before the *********** Open, so Murray should be free to enjoy the Christmas holiday at home after some work together during the off-season. Their Melbourne practice sessions will be box office, and it will be enthralling to see how their relationship develops and whether Murray could be a feature of Djokovic’s team at some of the year’s other Grand Slams. “They always got on well, but I don’t think it would have been as close as it maybe was when they were younger – or it would be now,” Delgado says of their relationship. “There was just so much on the line. But they had immense respect for each other. “Andy always spoke so highly of his [Djokovic’s] game and how difficult it was to play against him. The respect was sky high.” The final great act in their playing rivalry was the race to be the year end world number one in 2016. “When me and Novak speak with each other, we don’t talk about tennis, rankings, the matches we play against each other,” Murray said earlier that year. “Maybe when we finish playing, that might change.” Source link #Andy #Murray #coaching #Novak #Djokovic #friends #rivals Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Mary Fowler withdraws from Matildas friendlies Mary Fowler withdraws from Matildas friendlies Matildas star Mary Fowler has pulled out of Australia’s friendlies against Brazil and ******** Taipei to focus on her mental and physical health. Fowler withdrew from interim Matildas boss Tom Sermanni’s extended squad on Sunday, just days after World Cup hero Cortnee Vine made herself unavailable for similar reasons. A replacement for Fowler has yet to be made, with the first of four matches in the international window to be played against Brazil in Brisbane on Thursday night. Manchester City forward Fowler, who looms as the future of the Matildas’ *******, will instead spend November and December in Australia with family. “I’ve decided to take this time to prioritise recovery in order to refresh both mentally and physically, so that I can continue to put my best self forward for both club and country,” Fowler said in a Football Australia statement. “Playing for the national team is something that I never take for granted. “I have, however, through past experiences, come to realise that my mind and my body are also things that I should also never take for granted. “I really appreciate everyone’s support and understanding, and I hope to see you all soon.” Sermanni could also be without A-League Women midfielders Isabel Gomez and Hana Lowry after the duo suffered injuries in their respective club matches. Central Coast player Gomez is yet to discover the extent of her right leg injury after a collision in their draw with Melbourne Victory on Saturday, while Sydney FC’s Lowry suffered a knee injury just hours before Fowler withdrew from the squad. Sermanni will at least have Natasha Prior for selection after the Newcastle Jets defender was cleared of a serious ankle injury to join the Matildas training camp. Veteran striker Michelle Heyman sent a scare through the Canberra ******* and Matildas camps after she appeared to suffer an injury in the ALW match against Perth Glory. The midfielder clutched her ankle immediately following a contest in front of Glory’s goal but was able to return to the game. Australia will play Brazil on the Gold Coast on Thursday and on December 1, and meet Taiwan in Victoria on December 4 and 7.

Verstappen captures 4th F1 championship after Mercedes sweep Verstappen captures 4th F1 championship after Mercedes sweep Max Verstappen cruised to a fourth consecutive Formula 1 championship on Saturday night by finishing fifth in the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Verstappen needed only to finish ahead of Lando Norris of McLaren to give Red Bull a fourth straight driver championship. The Dutchman started fifth but was already up to second by the 10th lap around the street circuit that includes the famed Las Vegas Strip. Norris, who had to score at least three points more than Verstappen to extend the championship ******, finished sixth. Verstappen needed only to finish higher than Norris to win the title, which he did with two races remaining on the season. He ended the race up 63 points over Norris with two events remaining this season. “Max Verstappen you are a four-time world champion,” team principal ********** Horner said on the radio. “That is a phenomenal, phenomenal achievement. You can be incredibly proud of yourself as we are.” Verstappen, only the sixth driver in F1 history to win at least four titles, sounded unusually emotional on the radio. “Oh My ****, what a season. Four times. Thank you, thank you guys,” he said. “We gave it all.” The race was won, meanwhile, by George Russell who was followed by Lewis Hamilton in the first 1-2 sweep for the Mercedes drivers since 2022. Hamilton came from 10th on the grid — two weeks after a demoralizing race in Brazil — to capture his podium finish. The duo crossed the finish line under a checkered flag waved by actor Sylvester Stallone. Carlos Sainz Jr. finished third for Ferrari as the constructor championship ******** a tight battle between leader McLaren and Ferrari. Charles Leclerc, his teammate, was fourth. Red Bull had won the title that pays roughly $150 million in prize money the last two seasons but has slipped to third in the standings. But that championship battle appears headed to next month’s season finale in Abu Dhabi. McLaren has a 24-point lead over Ferrari headed into this weekend’s race in Qatar after Norris and Oscar Piastri finished sixth and seventh in Las Vegas. “Max deserved to win it. He drove a better season than I did, he deserved it more than anyone else,” Norris said. “Max just doesn’t have a weakness. When he’s got the best car, he dominates and when he’s not got the best car, he’s still just there always.” Verstappen, meanwhile, made easy work of Norris after a season where the McLaren driver pushed him ******* than he’d been challenged since Verstappen’s first title in 2021. “To stand here as a four-time world champion is something I never thought would be possible,” Verstappen told actor Terry Crews, who moderated the podium news conference held in front of the Bellagio’s famed fountains. “It was a very challenging season and I had to be calm. I think this season taught me a lot of lessons and we handled it well as a team, so that of course makes it a very special and beautiful season.” Verstappen, who is 27, won 19 races last year. He opened this season on a tear but a long winless streak from June until Brazil two weeks ago has him with only eight wins, his fewest since 2020. Verstappen asked at the Bellagio what time it was, noting he was in Las Vegas and “I’m very thirsty.” He had a champagne celebration awaiting him. Race-winner Russell, meanwhile, said he’d be skipping his scheduled flight home to celebrate the victory with actor Crews. He also twice had to sit down on the podium to wipe champagne out of his eyes. Verstappen was cruising in third with about 20 laps remaining and not overly pushing when Red Bull urged Verstappen to be patient over the team radio. “Max, just don’t lose sight of our aim today, yeah?” he was told. Verstappen wasn’t interested in receiving any instructions. “Yeah, yeah. I’m doing my race,” he replied. When he later saw the Ferrari drivers behind him, he asked for instructions because of the constructor championship implications. “Do you want me to try to keep them behind or what?” Verstappen asked of Sainz and Leclerc. “I think you should, yeah,” Red Bull told Verstappen. He couldn’t hold them off but it made no difference as his season was dominant enough to match former Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel as four-time champions for the organization. This was the second year of the race after last year’s debut was a bit of a disaster in that locals were livid for months over ongoing construction, as well as traffic detours and delays, the inability to access many local businesses, outrageous price gouging by the tourism industry as well as LVGP ticketing, and then a loose valve cover that nearly destroyed Sainz’s Ferrari minutes into the first practice. It caused an hours-long delay for repairs, fans were kicked out of the circuit, and F1 ran practice until 4 a.m. — when it legally had to reopen the streets to the public. This year has been far less hectic, in part because all of the infrastructure headaches were a year ago, but also that last year’s race was spectacular. Despite all its speed bumps, the actual running of the race was one of the best of the F1 season. Russell started on the pole ahead of Sainz, who wanted redemption after the valve-cover fiasco last year. He had to serve a penalty because his car was damaged in the incident. “I was hoping Vegas had something to offer me after last year, but I will take a podium,” Sainz said. “I was looking at every manhole, avoiding them this time.” The race is the final stop in the ******* States for F1, which has exploded in ********* popularity the last five years. The trio of races in Miami; Austin, Texas; and Las Vegas are more than any other country. After the race completion, F1 next week is expected to announce it will expand the grid to 11 teams to make room for an ********* team backed by General Motors’ Cadillac brand. The team was initially started by Michael Andretti, who could not receive approval from F1 on his expansion application. Andretti has since turned over his ownership stake to Indiana-businessman Dan Towriss and Mark Walter, the controlling owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. They would run the Cadillac F1 team that would likely join the grid in 2026. The announcement of the ********* team did not come during the weekend to not derail from the Las Vegas Grand Prix, which is the showpiece of the Liberty Media portfolio. The race drew 306,000 fans over three days. Source link #Verstappen #captures #4th #championship #Mercedes #sweep Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

A snapshot of round four of the A-League Women season A snapshot of round four of the A-League Women season ROUND FOUR OF THE A-LEAGUE WOMEN COMPETITION AT A GLANCE: THEY SAID IT: “We deserve better, to play on a field that actually has grass and not dirt”. Sydney FC forward Shea Connors was among the ALW players who backed the league’s last-minute decision to relocate Unite Round to Jubilee Stadium following concerns over Leichhardt Oval’s playing surface. Ticket prices were waived to combat any aftershocks from the 11th-hour decision, with the Inner West Council issuing an apology over the condition of Leichhardt’s pitch. WOMAN OF THE WEEK: Maya McCutcheon helped Wellington Phoenix to their first win of the season with a goal in first-half stoppage time against Adelaide *******. Mebae Tanaka’s free kick ricocheted off numerous players before McCutcheon sent it home to push her side to a 1-0 win. TALKING POINT: Only days after receiving their first Matildas call-ups, Natasha Prior, Isabel Gomez and Hana Lowry suffered injuries in round four that could jeopardise their hopes of playing in friendlies against Brazil and Taiwan. Prior left the Newcastle Jets’ 1-1 draw with Western ******* after suffering an ankle injury, after Central Coast’s Gomez hurt her knee in the 1-1 draw against Melbourne Victory. Lowry suffered her own knee injury in a collision during Sydney FC’s 1-1 draw with Melbourne City to cap a horror weekend. STAT *******: Tameka Yallop celebrated becoming Brisbane Roar’s outright games record holder with a long-range goal in the 4-0 thrashing of Western Sydney. Yallop passed Matildas defender Clare Polkinghorne with her 153rd appearance for the Roar. BEAT THAT: After six seasons in second-tier competition NPL, ********* defender Momo Hayashi announced her ALW arrival with a double in Brisbane’s thrashing of Western Sydney. The 29-year-old first scored when her free kick deflected from the Wanderers’ wall, before she poked the ball through traffic and into the right side of the goal. UNDER PRESSURE: Newcastle have more than just Prior joining the casualty ward after the draw with *******; NRLW star Sheridan Gallagher and Lara Gooch suffered leg injuries on Saturday and having made all their substitutes, Newcastle were forced to play out their game with 10 women. Coach Ryan Campbell could be left to reconfigure his team, but has caught a break with the Jets not scheduled to play next weekend. UP NEXT: As international matches approach, only two games are scheduled for next week, with Melbourne City to host struggling Western Sydney Wanderers and Canberra ******* travelling to Gosford to face Central Coast Mariners later on Saturday.
