9 issues affecting fisheries in the philippines MUMBAI: With the state government under intense pressure over the Santosh Deshmukh murder, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday directed the police to attach the properties of the absconding accused in the case. He also ordered the police to cancel the gun licences of individuals in Beed district whose images and videos have surfaced on social media, brandishing revolvers. A home department official said Fadnavis, who heads the home department, on Saturday directed additional director general, Crime Investigation Department (CID), Prashant Burde, to initiate the process to attach properties of the absconding accused in the murder of Deshmukh, sarpanch of Massajog village, in Beed district, on December 9. Police have arrested two accused, while three accused are absconding. Fadnavis has transferred the case to the CID, which has begun its investigation. Fadnavis on Saturday also ordered Beed district superintendent of police, Navneet Kanwat, to crack down on individuals whose videos and images brandishing revolvers have surfaced on social media. “Fadnavis has taken serious cognisance of these images and videos and asked the Beed SP to verify them and immediately cancel their gun licences,” said the home department official. The chief minister has also asked Kanwat to review gun licences in the district. Following the controversy over Deshmukh’s murder, several videos and images of associates of Walmik Karad brandishing revolvers went viral online. Elected representatives in Beed, as well as opposition leaders, have alleged that Karad, the prime accused in the case, is running a “reign of terror” in the district with his aides, involved in extortion and other crimes. Several of his aides have been issued gun licences, they alleged. Social activist Anjali Damania too posted some of these videos, demanding that Fadnavis crack down on this brazen display of guns, which are meant for self-defence. Addressing a protest rally on Friday, BJP legislator Suresh Dhas alleged that around 1,200 weapons licences have been issued to supporters of Karad, due to his political clout. The Beed district administration and police on Saturday initiated the process of cancelling the arms licences of individuals with cases pending against them. “We have started the process on directions from the office of the director general of police,” said Kanwat. He added that the police are providing the information needed to take action, while the district collector’s office will complete the process. Meanwhile, Damania claimed she had received an anonymous phone call from an individual who told her that the three absconding accused in the Deshmukh murder have been killed in Karnataka to spare their masters. “I received a call but I don’t know if the person was telling truth or misleading me. I have shared this information with the superintendent of police,” she said. Kanwat said there is no official confirmation for the information shared by Damania. “We have sent her a letter, asking her to submit details and proof so that we can look into the matter,” he said.

WHEN police busted Bujar Cozminca for flooding Britain with £8million worth of cocaine, they were dealing with a familiar face. The Albanian gangster, 33 had already been booted out of the country on drugs charges nine years earlier, yet was easily able to sneak back into the UK to build up his criminal empire. He is one of a growing number of high-profile Albanians nicknamed the Boomerang Gang. They are making a mockery of Britain’s immigration system — sneaking in and out of the UK despite being deported. An intelligence source told The Sun: “It’s an utter disgrace. They get jailed and kicked out only to come back into Britain and carry on where they left off. They are in and out so often they joke about being boomerangs.” A Sun probe reveals how easy it is for crooks to get into the country in the back of lorries and in small boats. Read More on UK News In the past four years, at least 12 major Albanian criminals have come back to the UK after being kicked out. Kingpin Cozminca was first deported in 2012 after serving 21 months for conspiracy to supply drugs . He was sent back to Albania but returned to build up his drugs empire. When he was arrested for a second time in 2021, police found he was involved in buying and supplying 100kg of coke, with a street value of £8million and had laundered £2.5million of criminal cash. Most read in The Sun Using the codename “insatiable beta”, Cozminca negotiated multi-kilo cocaine deals and laundered thousands of pounds of cash weekly. When officers from the National Crime Agency swooped on his two flats in Islington and Wembley in North London , they found £300,000 in cash and ledgers which revealed drug deals worth £2million. He was jailed for 12 years at Snaresbrook Crown Court in June after admitting supply. Others smuggled back into the UK include a thug who boasted to police he had returned “several times” since being kicked out in 2015 and one who admitted paying £3,000 to small boat smugglers in France . Albanian mobsters have seized control of Britain’s drug market over the past two decades after forming an alliance with Latin American drug cartels . Many splash their cash on luxury lifestyles wearing designer clothes and driving top-end cars. The Hellbanianz , one of the most infamous gangs, is known for making music videos on social media, mostly filmed on the Gascoigne Estate in Barking, East London . One in 50 Albanians living in the UK are in jail — more than 1,200 of a population of nearly 53,000. Britain has more illegal migrants than any other European nation. In October, a study revealed as many as 745,000 live in Britain. But it’s not just those smuggled into the UK that are a crime concern. Figures show almost 400,000 legal migrants have been allowed in without criminal record checks since 2021. Rob Bates, research director at the Centre for Migration Control, said: “With the huge numbers entering each year, systems inside the Home Office are unable to perform adequate checks on every individual. “The Home Office needs to recognise certain nationalities are more likely to fall foul of the law or be involved in certain types of crime. Albania is a clear example. Until we get serious about tackling this, our streets will continue playing host to dangerous gangs and organised crime from overseas. “Thousands of undocumented young men arriving each year are able to join networks.” Tony Smith, former head of UK Border Force , suspects gang members are getting back into the country using new routes — most likely hitching lifts on small fishing vessels and dropped at coves. Criminology professor Ervin Karamuco, at the University of Tirana in Albania, said UK-based gangs are idolised back home. He added: “Those convicted in Britain build connections in prison and maintain close relationships with other active Albanian or foreign criminal groups. They stay connected to that network even when they’re deported and re-engage with them to find the fastest way back.” A Home Office spokesman said: “The new Border Security Command is bringing together our intelligence and enforcement agencies to smash criminal smuggling gangs, and we are working closely with the international partners, including the government of Albania, to further this effort.” ARMANDO BETI 2022: DEPORTED 2023: JAILED FOR CANNABIS FIRST caught working on a cannabis farm in Roath, Cardiff , and given a 14-month sentence in May 2022 Beti, 37, was released early after agreeing to be sent back home in August 2022 but was found in the back of a lorry a year later. In October 2023 he was jailed for 16 months for breaching his deportation order before being released on licence. He vanished, only to turn up at another cannabis farm in Pembroke. Jailing him for two years and eight months, Judge Geraint Walters said Beti had returned to Britain “as soon as he could” and said his story of being exploited should be “treated with a pinch of salt”. FATJON CANI 2015: DEPORTED 2024: JAILED FOR DRUGS VIOLENT Fatjon Cani was deported in 2015 but returned and was convicted of grievous bodily harm in October 2021. In January this year he was found in a car suspected to be linked to drugs on the M62 and admitted he had re-entered the UK “several times” in the past nine years. Cani, 29, from Manchester , told officers he paid smugglers £3,000 to cross the Channel . He was jailed for 20 months for breaching his deportation order. SAJMO BLOGU 2021: DEPORTED 2024: JAILED FOR CANNABIS DEPORTED part-way through a 23-month jail sentence for producing cannabis in Rotherham in 2021. Returned to the UK in January 2023 and picked up ten days later in a car with a “large amount of cash”. Police found 75 cannabis plants in a property Blogu, 36, claimed was his home address. He was jailed for 40 months in March. FATOS IMERAJ 2019: DEPORTED 2023: JAILED FOR RETURNING CONVICTED of possession with intent to supply cannabis and having fake ID in 2019, and deported. Police found him in Wales last August, and Imeraj, 31, told them he came to UK in 2008 and had since travelled back and forth to Albania. Caught twice by border cops. Jailed for six months in September 2023 for breaching deportation rules. FLOGERT FARRUKU 2015: DEPORTED 2020: JAILED FOR CANNABIS SENT back to Albania in 2015 for running a cannabis factory in Cardiff. Police found him at another £60,000 dope farm in November 2020. He claimed he was being exploited by an Albanian gang but was jailed for 21 months. In 2013 Farruku, 37, was caught at the Channel tunnel trying to get into UK. MAURICIO MYFTARAJ 2015: DEPORTED 2020: JAILED FOR GUNS DEPORTED in 2015 after being given three years’ jail for firearms offences. When police raided his home in North London in 2019 they found two loaded guns and £70,000 worth of cannabis. Myftaraj, 31, was jailed for 15 years in 2020. XHENSON DUKA DEPORTED 2020: JAILED FOR COCAINE CAUGHT with £10,000 of cocaine in Maidstone, Kent, in 2020 after being deported. The 28-year-old admitted he had been thrown out of Britain on a “number of occasions” only to return. Duka was jailed for 40 months. EDISON DAUTAJ 2023: DEPORTED 2024: RECALLED TO JAIL DEPORTED in May 2023 after serving two years for supplying cocaine and holding a fake document. The 28-year-old was stopped by cops in Ipswich in June this year and recalled to serve his original sentence. DORIAN PUKA 2017 & 2020: DEPORTED 2020: JAILED BURGLAR was jailed for nine months and deported in 2017. Returned to Britain within the year and carried out a spree of break-ins. Puka, 28, was jailed for three-and-a-half years and deported in March 2020. It is thought he is back in UK and is seeking asylum. BRIKEN COTI DEPORTED 2024: JAILED FOR COCAINE CAUGHT transporting coke with a street value of £22,500 this October after illegally re-entering the UK. Jailed for three years at Exeter Crown Court for intent to supply. His lawyer claimed Coti, 23, owed £12,000 to people smugglers. ARJAN KIKIJA DEPORTED 2020: JAILED FOR TASER JAILED for 28 months in 2020 after police in Basildon, Essex, found a Taser in his pocket. READ MORE SUN STORIES Fake documents claimed he was an Italian entitled to work in Britain. Kikija, 35, had previously been convicted for dealing drugs and kicked out of UK.Photo: The Canadian Press President-elect Donald Trump speaks during a Time magazine Person of the Year event at the New York Stock Exchange, Thursday, Dec. 12, 2024, in New York. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) President-elect Donald Trump wants to turn the lights out on daylight saving time. In a post on his social media site Friday, Trump said his party would try to end the practice when he returns to office. “The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation,” he wrote. Setting clocks forward one hour in the spring and back an hour in the fall is intended to maximize daylight during summer months, but has long been subject to scrutiny. Daylight saving time was first adopted as a wartime measure in 1942. Lawmakers have occasionally proposed getting rid of the time change altogether. The most prominent recent attempt, a now-stalled bipartisan bill named the Sunshine Protection Act , had proposed making daylight saving time permanent. The measure was sponsored by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio , whom Trump has tapped to helm the State Department. “Changing the clock twice a year is outdated and unnecessary,” Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida said as the Senate voted in favor of the measure. Health experts have said that lawmakers have it backward and that standard time should be made permanent. Some health groups , including the American Medical Association and American Academy of Sleep Medicine, have said that it’s time to do away with time switches and that sticking with standard time aligns better with the sun — and human biology. Most countries do not observe daylight saving time. For those that do, the date that clocks are changed varies, creating a complicated tapestry of changing time differences. Arizona and Hawaii don't change their clocks at all.What do Reviews of Real Mitolyn Users Say About Purple Peel Exploit for Weight Loss?

I love stealth games. Everything from Hitman to Splinter Cell to the old Thief games is my bag. Even horror games that encourage hiding in the shadows do it for me. I just love being sneaky (read: cowardly). So I was pleased to see that the upcoming Thick as Thieves will almost certainly be ticking that box for me. The trailer shows a new stealthy game that has you leaping about like the acrobatic burglar you are, stealing from the wealthy. What has me even more intrigued is the game is being brought to us by some of the developers behind the aforementioned Thief series, as well as Deus Ex ; classics in the genre, I’m sure you’ll agree. Specifically, we’ve got Paul Neurath, executive producer of Thief: The Dark Project and Thief 2: The Metal Age , as well as director Warren Spector, who worked on the original Deus Ex . We’ve also got game designer Greg Lopiccolo, who, along with Spector, was involved with Thief: The Deadly Shadows . Good stock, overall As for what Thick as Thieves will be like, the teaser above suggests it’s got lashings of some of the teams’ past work, along with hints of Dishonored ...and do I detect a hint of We Happy Few ? Maybe only in the visuals, but I’m quite excited about it all the same. It’s also gunning for multiplayer, so you can “match your cunning against rival thieves.” As for what the story will involve, well, here’s what the Steam page has to say: The game promises plenty of replay value, a rich world set in an alternative timeline, and an “ever-shifting, treacherous city.” So when is Thick as Thieves out? There’s no release date available, but you can wishlist the game right now. It’s also coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as PC. No idea if it’ll be coming to Game Pass yet, though.EU pressures India to drop duty on some ICT products

New footage emerges showing on-duty Auckland police officer embracing naked woman by stripper poleSoFi Technologies ( SOFI -3.74% ) hasn't impressed too many investors since its public debut. The fintech company went public by merging with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) on June 1, 2021, and its stock opened at $21.97. But today, SoFi's stock trades at about $16. Like many other SPAC-backed companies, SoFi disappointed its investors by missing its ambitious pre-merger forecasts. Rising interest rates exacerbated that pressure by squeezing its valuations. That was a disappointing three-year return, but some Wall Street analysts are still bullish on the stock. Of the 19 analysts who cover SoFi, only three rate it as a sell. It already trades above the average price target of $11.66, but it's still below the top price target of $20. Should investors buy SoFi today and expect it to hit those Street-high estimates? An early mover in the direct banking market SoFi, which is short for Social Finance, was founded in 2011. It originally focused on providing more student loans than traditional banks, and it subsequently expanded its financial services business with more mortgages, auto loans, personal loans, credit cards, insurance services, estate planning, and stock investment tools. In 2022, it obtained a U.S. bank charter and launched a digital-only direct bank. SoFi's digital-only approach enables it to expand more rapidly than its brick-and-mortar competitors. It also collects data more efficiently than traditional banks and accelerates, optimizes, and automates many of its fintech services with its AI algorithms . Over the long term, SoFi aspires to become a "one-stop-shop" for financial services that eliminates the need for separate banking and investment apps. It's still growing like a weed SoFi's number of members grew from 2.52 million at the end of 2020 to 9.37 million in the third quarter of 2024. Its number of products also grew from 1.85 million to 13.65 million during the same period. From 2020 to 2023, its adjusted revenue rose at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 49% from $621 million to $2.07 billion. Its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ( EBITDA ) turned positive in 2021 at $30 million, and that figure grew at a CAGR of 279% to $432 million in 2023. It's also stayed profitable on a generally accepted accounting principles ( GAAP ) basis over the past four quarters, and it expects to post a full-year GAAP profit for 2024. That growth trajectory was impressive, but it set the bar too high during its pre-merger presentation. It originally claimed that it would generate $2.11 billion in adjusted net revenue with a positive adjusted EBITDA of $484 million in 2023. But its near-term headwinds are dissipating Two major headwinds caused SoFi to miss its original estimates. Rising interest rates made its new loans less attractive, and its student loan business struggled with a near four-year federal freeze on student loans from March 2020 to September 2023. During that time, loan payments were paused for eligible students and the interest rate was set at 0%. But those headwinds are dissipating. The U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates three times in 2024, and it expects at least two more rate cuts in 2025. Its student loan business is also stabilizing as the federal freeze on student loans ends. SoFi has also been expanding its fintech ecosystem. In 2020, it acquired the fintech company Galileo to provide its payment processing, card issuing, and other services to more than 100 companies in 16 countries. Galileo currently hosts more than 160 million accounts and generated 10% of SoFi's contribution profit in 2023. SoFi has also been finding fresh ways to gain new customers without taking on more debt. This past October, it signed a $2 billion deal with Fortress Investment Group to underwrite its loans and offload them to other lenders. That deal could enable SoFi to generate more fee-based revenue without increasing its leverage. Should investors buy SoFi's stock right now? For 2024, SoFi expects its adjusted revenue to grow 22%-23% and its adjusted EBITDA to increase 48%-49%. From 2023 to 2026, analysts expect its revenue to grow at a CAGR of 19% as its adjusted EBITDA rises at a CAGR of 44%. On a GAAP basis, they expect its earnings per share to grow at a CAGR of 90% from 2024 to 2026. We should take those estimates with a grain of salt, but SoFi could have plenty of room to grow as it pulls more customers away from traditional banks. But it also trades at a premium to those slower-growth rivals. SoFi has a price-to-book ratio of 2.8, while Bank of America and Wells Fargo have much lower ratios of 1.3 and 1.5, respectively. Yet SoFi doesn't look too expensive relative to its growth potential. At $16, it has an enterprise value of $16.2 billion -- which values it at 5 times next year's sales and 18 times its adjusted EBITDA. At $20, it would trade at 7 times next year's sales and 22 times its adjusted EBITDA. Therefore, SoFi's stock could be worth buying below $20 as the bulls look the other way.

It was announced earlier this week that the 25-year-old Close To You singer would be performing more dates across the country next summer as part of her The Secret of Us deluxe tour. Kicking off on July 23 in Boston, Gracie will also play shows in Toronto, New York City , California , and Colorado . She'll then wrap things up on August 26 and August 27 in Mexico City. Shortly after Gracie announced her shows, however, fans discovered in the pre-sale that two VIP tickets at Madison Square Garden would set them back an eye-watering $648.40. Fans of the singer – who is the daughter of filmmaker J.J. Abrams and Katie McGrath - were furious by the 'absurd' ticket prices and expressed their outrage on social media. Taking to X, formerly Twitter , one slammed: 'There is not a single Gracie Abrams song worth paying $700 to hear live.' Another vented: 'Gracie Abrams tickets for $700 is completely unjustifiable, that girl is not famous enough to be making her prices that high. I'm sorry Gracie ily but what.' Gracie Abrams fans have been left furious over how much she's charging for concert tickets Two VIP tickets at Madison Square Garden will set fans back an eye-watering $648.40 'There's not a single concert that is worth paying $700 for,' wrote a third. Echoing a similar sentiment, another said: 'This isn't even like shade towards her there are very few artists y'all should be willing to pay $700 to see.' 'No concert tickets should ever reach $700 tbh it's just absurd,' added a fifth. 'I don't think there are any songs worth $700 to see live,' a sixth penned. Another posted: 'Even $70 is too much. What are we doing here?' After the presale sign-ups closed, fans had a chance to secure tickets to all tour dates during the general public sale, which opened on December 13. StyleCaster reported Ticketmaster had set the price of Gracie's shows from $69 to $263, with VIP packages ranging from $530 to $648. While her New York dates have now sold out, individual tickets for her Madison Square Garden performances are being resold on Stub Hub for $436 or more. Fans branded the cost 'unjustifiable' on social media and said she 'is not famous enough to be making her prices that high' Grace's The Secret of Us tour initially kicked off on September 5 in Portland, Oregon, before wrapping in the states in Philadelphia on October 15. Her concerts are set to continue in February 2025, when she will begin the European leg in Madrid, Spain. She previously served as the opening act for Taylor Swift during her record-breaking Eras Tour. Last month, Taylor revealed she and Gracie lost their cool after learning their track, Us, was nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2025 Grammys. While on stage in Toronto, the pop star, 34, recalled her emotional reaction to finding out that their track earned a nod from The Recording Academy. 'The Eras Tour has been going on about a year and a half now, and so, a lot of life can happen in the phase of that tour and a lot of art can happen in the course of that tour,' she recalled to the crowd. Gracie recently opened for Taylor Swift during the Eras Tour 'I think you'll remember the genius brilliant young lady you saw earlier tonight, Gracie Abrams. So, story time, Gracie was opening up for me a year ago on the Eras Tour.' She continued: 'We had so many fun memories during that tour, one of which we were celebrating her getting nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys, we had, like, eleventy-hundred Cosmos, went back to my house and just started writing a song.' The Fortnight hitmaker went on to gush that the track, Us, off Gracie's album The Secret of Us got 'nominated for a Grammy.' 'You can't even imagine, like, the phone call between the two of us when the nominations came out and we saw that song was nominated,' she explained. 'It was just screeching. It wasn't even words, it was just feral screeching for the entire call.'

A CFL source said Friday the veteran running back-returner has agreed to terms on a two-year extension with the Edmonton Elks. Leake was slated to become a free agent in February. The source added the deal — which was negotiated by Kenny Kim of Summit Athletes — was worth more than $270,000 in hard money. The source spoke on the condition of anonymity as the Elks hadn't formally announced the move. The six-foot, 205-pound Leake ran for a career-high 661 yards on 102 carries (6.5-yard average) with six TDs in 15 games this past season, his first with Edmonton. Leake also had two 100-yard rushing contests in 2024 while adding 34 catches for 301 yards and a touchdown. Leake also had 23 punt returns for 214 yards and 25 kickoff returns for 539 yards. Leake joined the Elks as a free agent after spending two seasons with the Toronto Argonauts, winning a Grey Cup with the club in 2022. Leake was used predominantly as a returner with Toronto and was the CFL's top special-teams player in 2023 after registering 81 punt returns for 1,216 yards and four TDs. He had 38 kickoff returns for 793 yards. Leake had 15 carries for 52 yards over his two seasons with the Argos. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 13, 2024.

With $2,055,000 now in their possession, the winner faces a multitude of possibilities and decisions ahead. From investing wisely to fulfilling lifelong dreams, the newfound wealth opens up a world of opportunities that were once unimaginable.Are you, like me, finding yourself less than two weeks out from Christmas and still desperately texting your friends in search of gifts that are really going to impress your loved ones? My 3.5- and almost-5-year-olds aren’t yet making their wishlists on PowerPoint yet (looking at you, tween parents), but they’ve scribbled down enough keywords (“unicorn,” “Rudolph” and “cat” among them) for me to recognize that the stakes are high this year. Plus, I have the adults in my life to think about. I’m looking for impressive skin care gifts for my mom, yet another pair of merino wool socks for my spouse, and maybe a thing or two for myself. If you’re also shopping for children and adults alike this season, check out the list I’ve come up with. I’ve tried extra-hard to make a list that feels as special as everyone you’re shopping for. HuffPost receives compensation from one or more retailers on this page, and HuffPost and its publishing partners may also receive a commission for purchases made via links. Every item is independently curated by the HuffPost Shopping team. Prices and availability are subject to change. There is nothing cuter than watching your no-longer-a-toddler-but-not-quite-big kid play charades for the first time. We got this card game as birthday gift when my younger daughter turned 3 over the summer and it's been a riot to play. There’s very little to the game (in a good way) — you just draw a card and enact what you see. All the cards have pictures so it’s easy to play even if your kids can’t read yet. I love this nail polish from Piggy Paint . The colors are so cute, it’s truly non-toxic — it doesn't smell at all! — and it makes a fabulous stocking stuffer. Though this mask by Azure contains real 24K gold, you luckily won't have to shell out much at all to buy it for the skin care fan on your list. The mask firms, lifts and revitalizes skin thanks to ingredients like the aforementioned gold, collagen, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and more. The easy application using the tube and the fun, sparkly packaging are icing on the cake. This will be a perfect gift for my beauty-obsessed cousin. A fellow mom in one of HuffPost’s parenting Slack groups mentioned she'd be adding this NeeDoh cube to her daughters’ stockings. Suitable for kids ages three and up, the squeezable translucent object offers a satisfying resistance due to its unique shape. “I enjoy poking in the corners, pinching the edges sharper, poking in the flat sides, compressing in one direction and then the other, etc — it's just WAY more dynamic than a sphere,” wrote one reviewer . A cousin of those photo viewfinders that were popular when the millennial set was growing up, these customizable flashlights can project images onto any surface. The purchase comes with a variety of stock photos, and also includes a redemption code for customizing slides with your own images, which is truly the fun part. Another weird thing about flashlights? For kids at a certain age, they're the greatest novelty and an endless source of entertainment — and that’s without the neat-o projection capabilities. A hardbound planner or blank journal is one of my go-to gifts, and my go-to brand for said gift is almost always Papier . The brand has seemingly endless and really beautiful cover prints to choose from, and I usually end up getting these for extended family members or coworkers when I need a foolproof option. I love this spiral-bound weekly planner option with a bold floral print. The 11-by-9 book contains weekly and monthly pages, or even a calendar view so you can see the whole year at a glance. There are also lined pages for note-taking and a section for contact information. A friend pinged my mom group chat the other day and needed inspiration for a bigger-ticket item for her almost 4-year-old. I suggested a balance bike , which is definitely splurgier — but something like this option from Strider, that offers the option to add pedals later on, feels like a good investment that will grow with your child. The bike has 14-inch wheels and is intended for kids aged 3-6, with a weight limit of 80 pounds. The padded seat is adjustable for inseams between 16 and 23 inches to accommodate your growing kiddo. When your child is ready to ride on their own — maybe by next Christmas — you can buy a pedal conversion kit separately. Every time I try to get creative with gifts, the person I'm shopping for surprises me with a completely predictable request. Case in point: My spouse, who has asked for a pair of merino wool socks in a “solid, fun color.” It‘s actually been surprisingly difficult to find a pair with a significant blend of moisture-wicking merino wool and bright, solid colors. This option from Icebreaker is made with a 60% merino wool blend and comes in the egg-yolk yellow pictured here, an aqua hue and a cool sort of persimmon color. (The color options on Amazon are a little different, FYI.) We get a lot of mileage out of dress-up stuff, and it‘s something I definitely recommend as a gift — it’s screen-free, has a fair amount of longevity and is usually ready to be repurposed or handed down when your kids have outgrown it. Our dress-up bin is currently overflowing with princess stuff, so I have my eye on this disco-tinged dragon cape for something that’s a little less frilly or girly. The silky polyester cape is studded with gilded horns and spikes and even features cool reptilian eyes. FYI, Great Pretenders is one of our favorite resources for costumes — they have such a wide variety of “looks” ( firefighters , animals , etc) and I find the quality to be reliable and long-lasting. We also have their doctor set and green fairy costume and they get a ton of airtime. One gift that I'm eyeing for my entire household is this eternally viral vacuum-mop hybrid that promises to make short work on nearly every possible variety of household mess. Thanks to a built-in sensor, the machine will automatically adjust its suction, water flow and brush speed and tailor it to whatever debris it encounters. If you‘re even vaguely familiar with the toy landscape, you know that magnetic building toys abound and you may be constantly hearing about the popular Magna-Tiles or Picasso Tiles that are all over Amazon. These pliant construction pieces from Clixo offer similarly open-ended play potential but in a totally different medium. Each piece is made from an extremely sturdy proprietary plastic (that’s somehow also as flexible as paper) that interlocks with strong magnets, and a variety of piece shapes enable kids experiment with a variety of creations. I'd definitely recommend these if your recipient is experiencing tile fatigue. The image here is of a larger 40-piece “Creator Pack” set, but you can get these in smaller kits at stocking stuffer prices. (We have the 15-piece “Grab and Go” set and have gotten a ton of mileage out of it.) Flamingo Estate’s tomato-infused Roma fragrance collection has proven to be an unexpected viral favorite with HuffPost readers this holiday season. While the candle is certainly a surefire hit, I'm gravitating towards this unexpected perfume roll-on for my sister, who I'm always looking to gift with something extra-unique. The gently-spiced, herbaceous tomato scent is infused into a moisturizing safflower oil base for a luxurious beauty gift that anyone can take on the go. We try to keep it fairly crafty in my home, and this is the drawing paper that I buy in bulk for every day use. The 9-by-12 sheets are perforated and heavy-duty enough to withstand heaps of tempera paint (although we mostly stick with good, old-fashioned markers). While it's not the most exciting present by itself, I'd bundle it with some other art supplies to make for a comprehensive gift. This unexpectedly stylish men’s fleece jacket comes from the Amazon Essentials brand (and not a pricey retailer like Everlane, where we’ve spotted similar styles , or even Ralph Lauren ). It’s equipped with thoughtful details like a drawstring at the neck and handy thumbholes, and you can get in sizes XS-XXL and in four colors. I'll probably snag this for my constantly-outdoors brother who loves to go camping. I am including a second magnetic-building set for selfish reasons. A family gifted this Geomag building set to my kids while we were traveling over the summer — they loved it, of course, but over the course of the trip we lost a multitude of the pieces, so I've been looking to restock them. The kit we have features 25 pieces with magnets that are indeed extremely powerful. I like that they're made from recycled plastic and offer yet another building mode in the world of magnetic components. (PS: If you've read through both of these options and still just want Magna-Tiles, know that there is a really cool high-viz set for 20% off at Amazon right now. Did you know you can also get glow-in-the-dark ones ?) OK, before you call me out for spending close to $50 on 50 milliliters of product: I got a bigger size of this cleanser for my mom for Christmas last year, and she raved about how nice it was. She's extremely low-maintenance about her skin care routine, so hearing such positive feedback from her has committed me to making the luxury organic skin care brand Tata Harper a Christmas-gifting tradition. And like... what is the holiday season if not an opportunity to senselessly splurge on your loved ones and give them things they’d never buy for themselves? I'd rather spend this money on a small amount of something that she'll actually use than a piece of kitchen junk that’s just going to collect dust in the pantry. Anyway, thank you for coming to my TED talk and just buy this gorgeous regenerating cleanser that uses BHA and apricot microspheres along with clay and grapefruit to remove impurities from your skin. It’s best for combination or oily complexions, and the brand recommends applying it to dry skin for best results (and to save water). We’re unrepentant multiple-cup-a-day coffee drinkers in my household and mugs are a popular gift for people in my household. I've always liked the look of a glass mug, and these double-walled options from JoyJolt make for a stylish and affordable gift. Another screen-free gift with a longer shelf life? Puzzles! My kids get really into them and it’s important that the subject matter align with their interests (which, right now, is definitely princesses). Djeco makes a ton of really beautiful ones, and I love the enormous scale and unique shape of this castle-themed one . This is an easy, affordable stocking stuffer if you're stumped on a good gift. These handsome gloves are made from domestically sourced deerskin leather and lined with a fluffy PrimaLoft fabric for some seriously heavy-duty warmth. They're a worthwhile splurge for anyone who appreciates style and function. I have my eye on these for my spouse, who desperately needs a new, high-quality pair. If the previous option was a little beyond your budget, I also really like this eclectic fleece pair from outdoor brand Cotopaxi. These warm, screen-friendly gloves are made from the brand’s beloved recycled-polyester Teca fleece and feature grippy finger pads for added functionality. Bath bombs are extremely popular in our household, and are a very important item in my bedtime-routine toolbox in helping coax reluctant bathgoers into the tub. My kids consider them pretty novel even when they’re not embedded with surprises, so a set like this one that contains animal figurines and fact cards is just... wow. The set includes five bath bombs made from safe, natural ingredients like baking soda and epsom salts, and infused with avocado oil and ylang ylang. You can choose from themed assortments like safari, sea life and farm animals. I'm personally at the stage in my “Gabby’s Dollhouse” journey where my children ask to watch it at every possible opportunity, so to be able to present this actual Gabby’s dollhouse on Christmas morning would be the best thing I could possibly do as a parent at this point in time. This 25-inch tall, three-story dwelling includes six dedicated rooms for friends like Mercat and Cakey (who are sold separately) and comes with 14 accessories like furniture and an all-important Gabby figurine. It's pretty a-meow-zing. I am extraordinarily behind in hopping on the Gazelles bandwagon, but I swear it’s because I can't decide on a color. I see cool people wearing these all over the NYC subway in a host of bewitching colors — green, yellow, a nice clay-toned tan — and I am just stymied because I like them all. If you want to go down a similar rabbit hole, I welcome you to check out the 18 (!) options on the Adidas website. I think I've finally settled on these pretty blue ones with a classic white stripe to get for myself this year. With a suede upper, leather lining and translucent gum sole, these sneakers are an updated version of a design that Adidas first launched in 1979. It wouldn‘t be a gift guide from me without a recommendation from Super Smalls — the fashion editor-founded brand is responsible for some of the coolest kids' accessories out there. The growing product assortment is nearly impossible to choose from — especially now that it includes so many lifelike Disney goods, like the glow-in-the-dark Moana necklace pictured here — but I've tried to narrow down a few favorites. Shopping writer Haley Zovickian included these gorgeous handmade home goods in a recent roundup of unexpected gifts , and I might just have to get them for myself this holiday season. Zovickian wrote: “Inspired by traditional Armenian rug patterns, these beautiful rug coasters are a delightful way to protect your tables while beautifying them at the same time. Handwoven by artisans in Armenia but shipped out from Connecticut, the coasters are made with plant-based dyes to honor the richness of nature and sustainable design. You also can grab the blue Kaspian mug (pictured right) to complete your gift — each stoneware mug is handmade, hand-painted and naturally dishwasher-safe.” The retailer promises shipping lead times of up to five days, so order these now in order to get them in time for the holidays. This fast-paced, easy-playing card game is constantly recommended in gift guides, but I'm including it here just in case you’ve missed it up until now. Everything we read and hear about this game indicates that it's a pretty foolproof gift for a school-age kid, and a great price point if you're looking for a stocking stuffer. It involves quick reactions to the silly string of titular words, and special cards in the deck can redirect play in unpredictable ways. My daughter was recently gifted a chess set really similar to this one and she is weirdly obsessed with it! Now we just have to figure out how to actually play chess, but it seems like it could be a cool thing for us to learn as a family. This colorful set is made from FSC-certified wood and packaged with 75% recycled materials. You can stash your pieces in the thoughtfully designed included storage box, too. Look, is it a little weird to gift someone something for their toilet? Maybe, but anyone I've ever met who has used a bidet even once before is all too happy to talk about what a gamechanger it is, so do with that what you will. Luxe Bidet's NEO 120 , the brand's bestselling model, comes with all the tools your giftee will need to install it and has control knobs for the water pressure and different modes (including one that's self-cleaning). With 4.9 stars across more than 6,200 reviews, you kind of can't go wrong here (and hey, it's definitely something they'll use every day). Promising review: "I absolutely love it! I have gotten several of my friends this LUXE BIDET for birthday and Christmas gifts. I cannot be without it. I do not like to go to a bathroom that does not have one, Not only does it make you feel CLEAN it saves on TP. It is an PLUS to the bathroom." — Carolyn C.

Messi, now plying his trade at Paris Saint-Germain, had a strong season individually but faced stiff competition from other forwards who excelled in both club and international competitions. Similarly, Cristiano Ronaldo's performances for Juventus and Portugal were not enough to secure his spot in the team, signaling a changing of the guard in world football.

The National Information Technology Development Agency has warned Nigerians about a dangerous banking malware that targets users worldwide through complex phishing schemes. The warning was issued by NITDA’s Computer Emergency Readiness and Response Team on Monday via social media. The agency described the new version of Grandoreiro as a serious threat that uses sophisticated methods to steal sensitive information. According to the agency, the malware employs “advanced techniques, including screen overlay attacks and remote device control, to steal sensitive information such as banking credentials and personal data.” Read Also: TikTok partners NITDA, Data Science Nigeria to strengthen safety NITDA explained that the malware primarily spreads through phishing emails and fraudulent websites. These deceptive platforms trick victims into downloading malicious software by disguising it as legitimate updates or documents. Once installed, the malware can bypass security protections, giving attackers unauthorized access to users’ devices. The agency warned that this could result in significant financial losses and potential identity theft. The agency urged the public to exercise caution and adopt recommended security measures to mitigate the risk. “Cyber threats like Grandoreiro are evolving, and users need to stay vigilant and adopt robust security practices to protect their information,” the agency advised. NITDA recommended avoiding links and attachments from unknown emails, downloading software only from trusted sources, and enabling multifactor authentication for online banking and financial accounts. The agency also emphasized the importance of keeping antivirus software updated, avoiding public Wi-Fi for financial transactions, and regularly monitoring bank accounts for unauthorized activities.In recent news, another peculiar incident has arisen, reminiscent of the infamous light bulb debacle from years past.
