Donald Trump , the president-elect of the United States , stated that his administration will attempt to retake control of the Panama Canal . The issue was brought up by Mr Trump during AmericaFest on Sunday (December 22), an annual gathering hosted by the conservative organisation Turning Point. The US “foolishly gave it away”, he claimed at the Arizona event, adding, “W’'re being ripped off at the Panama Canal like we're being ripped off everywhere else.” Mr Trump captioned a photo of the US flag flying over a small body of water on his Truth Social platform and Instagram after AmericaFest, saying, “Welcome to the United States Canal!”. As the name suggests, Panama owns the canal. Opening in 1914, the US-built canal was under US administration until a 1977 agreement called for its ultimate transfer to Panama. Both nations worked together to operate the canal until 1999, when the Panamanian government took exclusive authority. Ships soon outnumbered the canal's capacity once the Panamanians regained exclusive control of it in 2000. Beginning in 2007, a significant enlargement project was finished almost 10 years later. However, the canal's ability to operate effectively has been hampered by the severe droughts that have been plaguing the surrounding area. Canal officials have increased the cost of using the canal and placed limits on traffic. These expenses seem to be a contributing factor in Mr Trump's canal grievance. The president-elect said on Sunday that it is, “highly unfair, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama, I say, very foolishly, by the United States”. Additionally, Mr Trump's other assertion is that China is attempting to increase its influence over Panama and the Canal Zone. A joint declaration agreed by Panama and China in 2017 emphasised that the two countries will not have any formal relations with Taiwan , the self-governing democracy claimed as its own territory by China's ruling communist party. Since then, China has become more influential in the region surrounding the canal. In light of what he said was the unprecedented generosity the US has shown Panama, the president-elect called them “ridiculous” and “highly unfair” on Sunday. The Panamanian administration is opposed to Mr Trump's proposal. In a statement released on Sunday, president José Raúl Mulino stated, “As president, I want to express precisely that every square metre of the Panama Canal and its adjacent area belong to PANAMA, and will continue to be.” He went on to say, “The sovereignty and independence of our country are not negotiable.”

Figure 1 Site Rendering of NOVONIX's New Facility BRISBANE, Australia, Dec. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NOVONIX Limited (NASDAQ: NVX, ASX: NVX) ("NOVONIX” or "the Company”), a leading battery materials and technology company, announced today a conditional commitment to NOVONIX through one if its wholly-owned U.S.-based subsidiaries ("Borrower”), from the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE”) through the Loan Programs Office ("LPO”) for a direct loan of up to US$754.8 million ($692 million in principal and $62.8 million in capitalized interest) to be applied towards partially financing a proposed new facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee (the "New Facility”). The proposed financing is being offered under the DOE LPO's Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing ("ATVM”) Loan Program. If finalized, the loan would be applied towards partially financing the construction of the New Facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to manufacture synthetic graphite primarily for use in electric vehicle ("EV”) batteries. At full capacity, the new facility is expected to produce approximately 31,500 tonnes per annum ("tpa”) of synthetic graphite, which can support the production of lithium-ion batteries for approximately 325,000 EVs each year. China currently has over 95% market share for battery grade graphite 1 . The new facility is expected to reach full production capacity by the end of 2028 and is anticipated to create 450 full-time operational jobs and 500 construction jobs. Dr. Chris Burns, CEO of NOVONIX said, "This announcement is the culmination of years of hard work and is another critical milestone for our anode materials business towards our target production of 150,000 tpa in North America. This conditional commitment from the government to invest in our new facility continues to underscore the focus on localizing critical materials in the battery supply chain, such as graphite. Recent announcements from China to further scrutinize the export of battery-grade graphite to the United States highlight the importance of domestic production of high-performance, battery-grade synthetic graphite. Our offtake agreements with strong partners have strengthened our leadership in onshoring the synthetic graphite supply chain in North America and supporting the path towards U.S. energy independence.” This year, NOVONIX has signed binding offtake agreements to supply synthetic graphite to Panasonic Energy 2 , Stellantis 3 , and PowerCo 4 . To meet this demand, the Company has previously discussed plans to build a new facility in the southeastern United States which could expand up to 75,000 tpa or production capacity. This proposed ATVM Program loan would support the construction of the first phase of the New Facility and the initial production capacity of 31,500 tpa. NOVONIX plans to subsequently expand the production capacity of this site to its target of 75,000 tpa of synthetic graphite production, any such expansion being dependent on customer demand and access to additional financing. NOVONIX's Riverside facility, also located in Chattanooga, is poised to become the first large-scale production site dedicated to high-performance synthetic graphite for the battery sector in North America. It is slated to begin commercial production in 2025, with plans to grow output to 20,000 tpa to meet current customer commitments. Previously, the Company announced that the DOE's Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains ("MESC”) awarded the Company a US$100 million grant 5 and that it was selected for a US$103 million investment tax credit 6 towards the funding of the Riverside facility. Key terms of the DOE's conditional commitment, including those set forth in a non-binding term sheet attached to the conditional commitment letter signed by the DOE, NOVONIX and the Borrower, include: This announcement has been authorised for release by Admiral Robert J Natter, USN Ret., Chairman. About NOVONIX NOVONIX is a leading battery technology company revolutionizing the global lithium-ion battery industry with innovative, sustainable technologies, high-performance materials, and more efficient production methods. The Company manufactures industry-leading battery cell testing equipment, is growing its high-performance synthetic graphite material manufacturing operations, and has developed a patented all-dry, zero-waste cathode synthesis process.

Whether you like them or loathe them, the holiday period has an association with Christmas songs. The worst offenders are variants of pop or rock music encased in saccharine melodies with a gooey centre of banal lyrics. Could artificial intelligence do any better? What would an AI generated Christmas song be like? And would you stream it? The answers are here (links to the resultant email appear at the end of this article). Some tunes you may be grooving to could already be semi-AI generated since recent reports reveal that over a third of musicians are now using artificial intelligence to aid their profession. In turn, major labels are turning to AI to help manage costs and to keep ahead of the competition (the stark warning is, as reported by The Guardian , to “adapt or die”), since some have predicted that AI will cut music industry incomes by 25 percent by 2028 . At the same time, artists steeped in the traditional songwriting tradition have expressed concerns over AI’s ability to mimic original works. This means to some that AI generated songs should be labelled as such; to others, there should be some redistribution of income since AI songs can only be conceived by an AI evaluating previous songs created by a human. There is also the question: can AI-generated music truly match the quality of original releases? The company AIPRM , in seeking to offer a view on the question, analysed popular and recent Christmas songs, identifying trends and commonalities. The AI analysed songs that appeared on the 2023 Official Christmas Charts and new releases from Spotify, where tracks had been ranked based on recency and popularity using SortYourMusic.com . The Christmas songs were generated using the AI platform Suno.com . What are the tracks like? “Christmas Love” AI’s interpretation of UK Christmas hits blends romantic and reflective lyrics with smooth pop and jazz influences. This offering was inspired by UK 2023 Christmas charts. The outcome is a combination of modern production, string and bass orchestration, and swinging rhythms creates a sophisticated yet festive vibe, capturing both the joy and introspective moments of the holiday season. Here is a sample of the lyrics: [Verse] Snow is falling bright Candles flicker light Warmth in every heart Christmas joy so tight [Verse 2] Lights all twinkle bright Memories ignite Stories by the fire Love’s our true desire [Chorus] Christmas love oh Christmas love Every heart filled from above Peace and joy just like a dove Christmas love oh Christmas love “Under the Mistletoe Glow” AI’s analysis of recent Christmas hits, with lyrics focused on personal reflection, celebration, and holiday cheer, alongside modern production with electronic beats and traditional sounds like chimes, were used to create a second tune. This toe-tapping offering was inspired by recent Christmas releases (2022-2024). The outcome is a blend of introspective and upbeat themes captures a fresh, festive vibe for the season. This is an except of the lyrical wonder: [Verse] Snowflakes softly twirl from clouds of dreams Under lights that shimmer like streams Hearts aglow with warmth so bright In this spellbound winter night [Verse 2] Cinnamon and pine embrace the air Joyful songs fill every square Footsteps crunch on crystal ground Love and cheer in every sound [Chorus] Under the mistletoe glow Where love and joy both flow Hold me tight and never let go Together in this holiday show The songs, whether fun or ghastly, suggest that rather than just mimicking existing music styles and structures, AI algorithms are creating more original forms of music that might resonate with audiences. MP3 audio files of the AI Christmas tunes can be found here . Now, what’s in store for Christmas 2025?

He ran all over the Texans for years while playing in the AFC South for the Tennessee Titans. Henry and the Ravens (10-5) visit AFC South champion Houston (9-6) on Wednesday, looking for a win to keep their AFC North title chances alive. Baltimore has clinched a playoff berth for a third straight season but needs wins in its last two games and one loss by the Steelers to capture the division. Henry, who ranks second in the NFL with 1,636 yards rushing, has had some of his greatest success against the Texans. Four of the 30-year-old’s six career 200-yard rushing games have been against Houston, including a career-high 250 in the season finale in the 2020 season to surpass 2,000 yards. “You talk about fast, explosive, physical — he’s looking probably the best he’s looked in his career,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said. “He’s found that fountain of youth ... he’s a great player. It’s fun to see guys rebound and bounce back the way that he’s done this year.” Dealing with Henry along with all the challenges that quarterback Lamar Jackson presents makes the top-ranked Ravens one of Houston’s more difficult matchups. “You talk about MVP, (Jackson’s) definitely the MVP in my mind just for what he’s doing not only in the run game but also throwing the football,” Ryans said. “The accuracy, the decision-making, like, he’s playing unbelievable ball right now, so it’s going to be a really tough challenge for us this week.” Another challenge for the Texans is moving on after Tank Dell sustained a season-ending knee injury in Saturday’s loss to Kansas City. His injury is another blow to a receiving group that already was without star Stefon Diggs, who tore his ACL in Week 8. “The position we’re in, it’s not a lot of times where you can sulk in your feelings for very long,” quarterback C.J. Stroud said. “You’ve got to just keep rolling. I think that’s a testament to just life in general. Everybody has stuff on their plate. Everybody is going through something. And just because we’re in this position, doesn’t mean you get to feel sorry for yourself.” Houston will rely on Stroud to keep the passing game rolling despite the loss of Dell, who ranks second on the team with 667 yards receiving. Baltimore coach John Harbaugh has been impressed with Stroud’s growth in Year 2 and knows that dealing with him will be difficult for his team, which ranks 31st in the NFL by allowing 254.9 yards passing a game. “He’s just a supertalented guy... he’s surrounded with some good weapons, and he gets the ball out quick,” Harbaugh said. “He handles pressure well, he can move, he’s athletic, scrambles and makes plays.” Jackson is a big fan of Beyoncé, though he didn’t know the title of his favorite song of hers, saying it was “To the left,” which is just the first lines of her hit “Irreplaceable.” And he doesn’t think playing in Wednesday’s game should stop him from seeing her halftime show on Christmas . “I’m going to go out there and watch,” he said. “First time seeing Beyoncé perform, and it’s at our game — that’s dope. I’m going to go out and watch. Sorry Harbaugh, sorry fellas." He later clarified that he was kidding about sneaking out at halftime to get a glimpse of Queen Bey. “I was just thinking about just seeing Beyoncé for the first time,” he said. “Not saying it like that; no disrespect, because I know how people can take things. Next question.” Houston receiver John Metchie could have a chance for a big game with Dell out. Metchie is playing in his second NFL season after missing his entire rookie year while undergoing cancer treatment. He has just 182 yards receiving this season, with his best game coming against Detroit, when he had a career-high 72 yards receiving and his only NFL TD. Stroud is looking for Metchie and fellow reserve Xavier Hutchinson to help make up for Dell’s absence against the Ravens. “Those guys have another opportunity to show who they are and I know that they can do it,” Stroud said. “I see them in practice do it every week. So, I’m excited for them and it’s a good opportunity for them to step up.” Jackson is up to 6,023 yards rushing for his career. The NFL record for a quarterback is 6,109 by Michael Vick, so Jackson could break it with a big game on Wednesday. Jackson also leads the NFL in passer rating and is in the conversation for his third MVP. Although it sounds like that’s a discussion he’d rather not get involved in. “No other choice but to hear it,” Jackson said. “They (are) tagging me in it. You don’t (have) to tag me. You can talk about it all you want, but you want to tag me to get like clickbait because you know sometimes I (will) say something back like, ‘That was stupid.’ It is what it is. I don’t care, though. I really don’t care about the talk.” AP Sports Writer Noah Trister in Owings Mills, Maryland, contributed to this report. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
