Here are significant events that took place in 2024. Moo Deng in the Art World Moo Deng, a baby pygmy hippo in Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chon Buri, became a global social media sensation in 2024. Her adorable, playful and bouncy behaviour captured the hearts of people worldwide. Her lively personality inspired creators to produce countless memes and artworks featuring her. Some of the most famous memes featured Moo Deng in hilarious scenarios, such as alongside Keanu Reeves as John Wick's pet in the iconic action movie John Wick. The beloved pygmy hippo also appeared walking alongside renowned characters from the American superhero movie Deadpool & Wolverine. Aside from inspiring memes, Moo Deng captivated both established and aspiring illustrators to create countless pieces of fanart. For instance, Japanese illustrator Juno, who is renowned for her charming cat illustrations and followed by over 480,000 people on the account @mofu_sand on X (Twitter), could not resist Moo Deng's charm. She created an illustration which features a group of cats dressed in Moo Deng-inspired suits. Another Japanese illustrator, @imoko_iimo, with over 934,000 YouTube subscribers, who is known for creating many unique cute characters and popular Line stickers, released an endearing illustration of Moo Deng in September in response to overwhelming requests from followers. Moo Deng even appeared in a museum. As part of Bangkok Art Biennale 2024, a tiny sculpture of Moo Deng was placed among historical pottery cow figures at the National Museum Bangkok. A curator explained that the exhibit, which blends the contemporary Moo Deng pottery with historical sculptures, aims to explore the interplay between ancient artefacts and modern creations. Viewers are encouraged to reflect on questions of authenticity and how the significance of these artefacts evolves over time. Created by rookie artist, Tear Factory Boy, Moo Deng became the subject of the oil painting Influencer Of The Year 2024. Due to his interest in internet memes, Tear Factory Boy crafted this piece to capture how Moo Deng's facial expressions captivated people around the world and led to her appearance in both local and international news outlets as well as numerous memes.

A massacre of more than 200 people in Haiti this month followed a gang-ordered manhunt that saw victims, many of them elderly, pulled from their homes and shot or killed with machetes, the UN said Monday. The victims were suspected of involvement in voodoo and accused by a gang leader of poisoning his child, with the suspects taken to a "training center" where many were dismembered or burned after being killed. A civil society organization had said at the time that the gang leader was convinced his son's illness was caused by followers of the religion. "On the evening of December 6, (Micanor Altes) ordered the members of his gang -- around 300 -- to carry out a brutal 'manhunt.' They stormed into about ten alleys of the (Port-au-Prince) neighborhood and forcibly dragged the victims out of their homes," said the report, authored jointly by the UN office in Haiti, BINUH, and the UN Human Rights Commissioner (OCHR). In the days that followed, the gang returned to the neighborhood, abducting adherents from a voodoo temple, targeting individuals suspected of tipping off local media and slaughtering people seeking to escape. Some of the bodies "were then burned with gasoline, or dismembered and dumped into the sea," the report concluded. A total of 134 men and 73 women were killed in total over six days, the report said. A mosaic of violent gangs control most of the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince. The impoverished Caribbean country has been mired for decades by political instability, made worse in recent years by gangs that have grown in strength and organizational sophistication. Despite a Kenyan-led police support mission, backed by the United States and UN, violence has continued to soar. "According to BINUH and OHCHR, since January 2024, more than 5,358 people have been killed and 2,155 injured," the report said. "This brings the total number of people killed or injured in Haiti to at least 17,248 since the beginning of 2022." The UN Security Council "strongly condemned the continued destabilizing criminal activities of armed gangs and stressed the need for the international community to redouble its efforts to provide humanitarian assistance to the population." A spokeswoman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said "these crimes touched the very foundation of Haitian society, targeting the most vulnerable populations." Voodoo was brought to Haiti by African slaves and is a mainstay of the country's culture. It was banned during French colonial rule and only recognized as an official religion by the Haitian government in 2003. While it incorporates elements of other religious beliefs, including Catholicism, voodoo has been historically attacked by other religions. gw

For the last four years, Parker Smith has admired the Carlisle 1,000-point banner that bedecks a portion of the wall in Gene Evans Gymnasium. Names like Billy Owens, Jeff Lebo and his own head coach, Andre Anderson, reserve space on the 18-player pennant. The four-digit milestone has been a target of Smith’s since he dressed as a freshman. Consider the goal achieved, the mission accomplished. A 19th name has been carved out. In Saturday’s Carlisle Classic championship game opposite Hempfield, and with Thundering Herd pioneers like Owens in attendance, Smith joined the esteemed club when he guided in a finger-roll layup with 4:35 remaining in the first quarter. The basket accounted for Smith’s fourth and fifth points of the afternoon, and it was the springboard to a 25-point performance that launched Carlisle to a convincing 61-33 win over the Black Knights. The 38th annual title was the Herd’s (3-0) second straight after defeating Mechanicsburg 68-63 last year. “Parker’s left a huge impact,” Anderson said. “He started as a freshman, and you saw him grow over the years. We all know the phenomenal athlete he is, but just the way that he's evolved as a basketball player, it’s huge. He’s a special player. You can throw defenses at him, and he still has the athleticism to get by, make shots — he can do it all. He's turned himself into a phenomenal defensive player as well. So I can't say enough about the kid.” Smith was showered with a standing ovation and was swarmed by teammates once the milestone layup trickled through the net. It wasn’t the only show-stopping moment the senior produced, as he amassed 18 first-half points — he scored 18 total in Friday’s opener against Susquehanna Township — to accent a 35-14 halftime lead. “I was just so excited,” Smith said. “There’s a lot of big names on that list. It just proves that the hard work pays off.” The payoff coursed through the Carlisle bench with eight players reaching the scoring column. Sophomore Tyler Royal emerged in the third quarter with nine points — including a 3-point play and a pair of stick backs — and finished with 13 total. Meanwhile, Luke Fischer and Masyn McMeekin recorded five each and deposited a trey apiece amid a 10-1 first-quarter start. “That was probably our third key, was to not back down if we get up earlier,” Anderson said. “We wanted to get that lead, not back down and keep our foot on the pedal. And the guys did that. And it didn't just come from our first five, it came from the bench as well.” Hempfield made little headway, minus a seven-point surge from Spencer Troyer (nine total) to limit a 16-9 first quarter deficit. The Black Knights couldn’t harness the momentum, and the Herd lead swelled to 48-18 by the closing remarks of the third quarter. Carlisle credited Friday’s turbulence against Township as tune-up for Saturday’s unfoldings. Despite different teams and diverse play styles, the Indians gave the Herd a wake-up call. “Everyone needs a game, that one game where you kind of get bullied a little,” Smith said. “I feel like it definitely shaped us.” Smith also shaped his mark in the Herd history books. Once a wide-eyed freshman, four years of dedication culminated with his 1,000th point and an embracing from the entire Carlisle community Saturday afternoon. “He makes our life as coaches a little easier,” Anderson said, “and coaching in this league is tough. So to have him, it means a lot.” “It’s amazing,” Smith said. “It’s going to be here forever.” Big Spring's Aidan Sallie, right, looks for room to shoot around Archbishop Carroll's Ian Willliams during the second quarter of the PIAA Class 4A first-round game at Big Spring High School. Sallie was the Bulldogs’ ticket to a memorable and wild 2023-24 ride. As a junior, he averaged 22.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game and eclipsed 1,000 points for his career. In addition to the individual accolades, the guard-forward combo helped usher Big Spring to a program-best 19 wins, the Bulldogs’ first PIAA tournament appearance and their first District 3 final since 1963. Sallie was tabbed a Class 4A All-State second team selection and was named the Mid-Penn Colonial All-Division Player of the Year. Carlisle's Parker Smith dribbles the ball down the court during the second quarter of the consolation game against Boiling Springs in the 2023 Boiling Springs Alumni Tournament at Boiling Springs High School. Smith will defend his Mid-Penn scoring title in his final waltz on the Gene Evans Gymnasium floor. The heartbeat to a hungry Thundering Herd outfit, Smith looks to upgrade averages of 23 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 2.1 assists he posted as a junior. Carlisle finished the 2023-24 campaign at 18-6 and a spot shy of the state tournament and will lean on its Commonwealth first team honoree to clear last year’s shortcomings. Cumberland Valley's Nolan Buzalka, right, looks for an open teammate to pass to around Chambersburg's JJ Kelly during the first quarter of the District 3 Class 6A championship game at the Giant Center. The spitting image of unselfishness, Buzalka headlines a promising Eagle flock that soared to historic heights last winter. With Buzalka running the point, CV captured its first Mid-Penn and District 3 6A titles in program history and collected its first PIAA tournament win since 1995. Individually, head coach David Vespignani’s conductor averaged 13.4 points, 9.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. Mechanicsburg's Josh Smith, center, shoots for two points during the first quarter of the 2024 District 3 Class 5A championship game against Hershey at the Giant Center. The orchestrator of the Wildcat offense, Smith is ready to replicate last year’s symphony of District 3 gold and a run to the PIAA quarterfinals with the Wildcats bumped from Class 5A to 6A this season. Dubbed a 5A All-State third team pick, the then-junior poured in averages of 18.1 points, 7.3 boards and 3.7 assists per game. He also hurdled the 1,000-point threshold for his career and made the Keystone All-Division first team list. Trinity's Owen Schlager, right, shoots for two points over Columbia's Arthur Poindexter during the first quarter of the District 3 Class 3A championship game at the Giant Center. The two-time defending All-Sentinel Player of the Year, Schlager sets sail on a senior season rife with potential. The Siena College commit steered the Shamrocks to a 2023-24 Mid-Penn Capital title and a District 3 Class 3A runner-up result and was awarded a 3A All-State first team nod. Schlager paced Trinity in several statistical categories, including points per game (23.7), rebounds (6.6), assists (2.7) and steals (1.7), and recorded his 1,000th career point.
