The Marine engineers and Naval architects, who converged for 13th Annual Conference held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, noted that going by increasing decay and infrastructure deficits in the maritime sector, $1 billion would be required to bridge the gap in the maritime sector. While identifying inadequate power supply, steel production, and financial support as the bane of development in maritime industry, NIMENA added that banks’ refusal to accept vessels as collateral due to their classification as movable assets further compounded problems in the sector. Speaking through a communiqué, NIMENA lamented dormancy of Cabotage Vessel Finance Fund (CVFF) and lack of funds to acquire vessels and compete with foreign vessel owners. They also worried about the waiver system which allows the Minister of Transportation to issue waiver to foreign vessels to do what Nigerian vessels ought to do, just because Nigerian maritime operators do not have the vessel. Read also: Indigenous ship acquisition hindrances, vessel financing crisis, reecho at marine engineers summit The stakeholders noted the problems of maritime industry and the blue economy on how limited access to capital hampering indigenous operators and minimal disbursement of the Cabotage Vessel Financial Fund (CVFF). On maritime safety compliance, NIMENA said with over 90% of global trade reliance on maritime transport, safety standards are paramount for safeguarding lives and the environment. The Body of Marine engineers and Naval architects called for stengthening certifications and standards to drive professionalism, enhance safety, and stimulate economic development. Delivering a keynote address, Andrew Aligbe, a Marine Engineer and Managing Director of Gelose Marine Services Limited, dwelt on the Cabotage Act and the Role of Waivers in Advancing the Maritime Industry; He mentioned Technological Innovations in Naval Architecture; Maritime Safety Compliance; Establishing Marine Classification Standards for Shipbuilding; and Welding Standards and Regulations in Maritime Engineering as part of variables needed for a robust development in the maritime industry.

DEADLINE ALERT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Claims On Behalf Of Investors Of Lilium N.V.Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, has reached a level of wealth that only one other individual in history has come close to – oil magnate John D. Rockefeller . Musk’s staggering net worth of $474 billion at the time of writing, or 1.61% of the U.S. GDP based on third-quarter data , is reminiscent of Rockefeller’s dominance when his fortune peaked at 1.5% of GDP. In other words, Musk's wealth has surged into a realm not seen in contemporary times, much like Rockefeller’s unparalleled economic influence more than a century ago. Who’s hungry? #eattherich Don't Miss: It’s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — this alternative asset has outpaced the S&P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here’s how everyday investors are getting started. The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year — for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market. ‘ Tesla's recent stock surge largely fuels Musk's fortune. Tesla's stock price has risen 86% this year, hitting record highs after Donald Trump won the 2024 election. Experts believe Tesla could perform even better under Trump's administration due to policies expected to support self-driving cars and reduce tax credits that benefit Tesla's competitors. According to Bloomberg’s year-end valuation of $229 billion , Musk gained $245 billion in 2024 alone. This is so massive that it exceeds the combined net worth of all but two other billionaires: Mark Zuckerberg ($221 billion) and Jeff Bezos ($251 billion). John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil, was the original "world's richest man." By his death in 1937, his net worth stood at $1.4 billion, representing 1.5% of the U.S. GDP .

Rockefeller's wealth came from his near-total control of the oil industry, which powered the Industrial Revolution. His company, Standard Oil, controlled 90% of U.S. oil refining. Standard Oil, however, was split up into 34 companies in 1911 due to public outcry and judicial scrutiny; several of these businesses, like ExxonMobil and Chevron, continue to dominate the oil industry today. While Musk’s income comes from cutting-edge industries like space exploration, electric cars, and artificial intelligence, Rockefeller’s fortune came from an indispensable resource – oil – that characterized an entire era. Yet, both men represent a financial dominance that's hard to fathom. Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today. Here’s a comparison to grasp how large Musk's fortune really is. All NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL teams combined are valued at $433.57 billion. Musk could theoretically buy every professional sports team in North America and still have over $43 billion left over. Musk's wealth may keep growing. The Trump administration's potential policies supporting self-driving vehicles and limiting EV tax credits for competitors could directly benefit Tesla. SpaceX also seems to be gaining from future government contracts, especially with Trump nominating Jared Isaacman – a SpaceX investor and friend of Musk – to lead NASA. However, Musk still faces challenges. A legal battle over his 2018 Tesla pay package could impact his fortune if courts uphold the recent ruling against it.

Win vs. Carolina a display of how potent the Bucs offense can beZURICH — Saudi Arabia was officially confirmed Wednesday by FIFA as host of the 2034 World Cup in men's soccer, giving the oil-rich kingdom its biggest prize yet for massive spending on global sports driven by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The Saudi bid was the only candidate and was acclaimed by the applause of more than 200 FIFA member federations. They took part remotely in an online meeting hosted in Zurich by the soccer body's president Gianni Infantino. "The vote of the congress is loud and clear," said Infantino, who had asked officials on a bank of screens to clap their hands at head level to show their support. The decision was combined with approving the only candidate to host the 2030 World Cup. Spain, Portugal and Morocco will co-host in a six-nation project, with Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay each getting one of the 104 games. The South American connection will mark the centenary of Uruguay hosting the first World Cup in 1930. The decisions complete a mostly opaque 15-month bid process which Infantino helped steer toward Saudi Arabia without a rival candidate, without taking questions, and which human rights groups warn will put the lives of migrant workers at risk. "We look forward to hosting an exceptional and unprecedented edition of the FIFA World Cup by harnessing our strengths and capabilities to bring joy to football fans around the world," Prince Mohammed said in a statement. FIFA and Saudi officials have said hosting the 2034 tournament can accelerate change, including more freedoms and rights for women, with Infantino on Wednesday calling the World Cup a "unique catalyst for positive social change and unity." "I fully trust our hosts to address all open points in this process, and deliver a World Cup that meets the world's expectations," the FIFA president said. An international collective of rights groups said FIFA made a "reckless decision" to approve Saudi Arabia without getting public assurances, and the Football Supporters Europe group said it was "the day football truly lost its mind." A fast-track path to victory was cleared last year by FIFA accepting the three-continent hosting plan for the 2030 World Cup. It meant only soccer federations in Asia and Oceania were eligible for the 2034 contest, and FIFA gave countries less than four weeks to declare a bid. Only Saudi Arabia did. The win will kick off a decade of scrutiny on Saudi labor laws and treatment of workers mostly from South Asia needed to help build and upgrade 15 stadiums, plus hotels and transport networks ahead of the 104-game tournament. Amnesty International said awarding the tournament to Saudi Arabia represents "a moment of great danger" for human rights. "FIFA's reckless decision to award the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia without ensuring adequate human rights protections are in place will put many lives at risk," said Steve Cockburn, Amnesty International's Head of Labor Rights and Sport." One of the stadiums is planned to be 350 meters (yards) above the ground in Neom — a futuristic city that does not yet exist — and another named for the crown prince is designed to be atop a 200-meter cliff near Riyadh. During the bid campaign, FIFA has accepted limited scrutiny of Saudi Arabia's human rights record that was widely criticized this year at the United Nations. Saudi and international rights groups and activists warned FIFA it has not learned the lessons of Qatar's much-criticized preparations to host the 2022 World Cup. "At every stage of this bidding process, FIFA has shown its commitment to human rights to be a sham," Cockburn said. The kingdom plans to spend tens of billion of dollars on projects related to the World Cup as part of the crown prince's sweeping Vision 2030 project that aims to modernize Saudi society and economy. At its core is spending on sports by the $900 billion sovereign wealth operation, the Public Investment Fund, which he oversees. "It's amazing. The infrastructure, the stadiums, the conditions for the fans and everything. After what I see, I'm more convinced that 2034 will be the best World Cup ever," Cristiano Ronaldo said in a recorded package posted on X. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has been part of Saudi Arabia's lavish spending on soccer — stunning the sport when agreeing to sign for Al Nassr in 2022 for a record-breaking salary reportedly worth up to $200 million a year. Critics have accused Saudi Arabia of "sportswashing" the kingdom's reputation. The prince, known as MBS, has built close working ties to Infantino since 2017 — aligning with the organizer of sport's most-watched event rather than directly confronting the established system as it did with the disruptive LIV Golf project. The result for Saudi Arabia and FIFA has been smooth progress toward the win Wednesday with limited pushback from soccer officials, though some from women international players. The steady flow of Saudi cash into international soccer is set to increase. FIFA created a new and higher World Cup sponsor category for state oil firm Aramco, and Saudi funding is set to underwrite the 2025 Club World Cup in the United States that is a pet project for Infantino. North American soccer body CONCACAF signed a multi-year deal with PIF, Saudi stadiums host Super Cup games for Italy and Spain, and nearly 50 FIFA member federations have signed working agreements with Saudi counterparts. Lavish spending by PIF-owned Saudi clubs in the past two years buying and paying players – including Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Karim Benzema and Sadio Mané – put hundreds of millions of dollars into European soccer. That influence could be key in talks to agree which months to play the 2034 World Cup. The November-December slot taken by Qatar in 2022 to avoid extreme midsummer heat is complicated in 2034 by the holy month of Ramadan through mid-December and Riyadh hosting the multi-sport Asian Games. Still, January 2034 could be an option — and likely better for European clubs and leagues —after the International Olympic Committee said it saw few issues in clashing with the Salt Lake Winter Games opening Feb. 10, 2034. The IOC also has a major commercial deal with Saudi Arabia, to host the new Esports Olympics. Get local news delivered to your inbox!

Before his death today, Jimmy Carter defied illness and death for years. When his melanoma spread to his brain in 2015, he drew praise for announcing it publicly. Even as he underwent treatment, he continued to teach Sunday school in his home town's Baptist church. Within months, he announced that he was cancer-free. Four years later, Carter fell at least three times, at one point breaking a hip and at another requiring 14 stitches. Each time he bounced back, even showing up for a Habitat for Humanity home-building project shortly after one stumble. But he has slowly retreated from public life lately, making fewer and fewer appearances or statements and was unable to attend President Biden's inauguration in January 2021. However, he lived long enough to outlast two presidents who followed him and his own vice president, Walter Mondale. He became the longest-living president in March 2019 when he passed former President George H.W. Bush, who died four months before. Although Carter, nicknamed Jimmy Cardigan after once wearing a jumper for a televised speech, left the White House after one of the biggest landslide defeats of the modern era, he was one of very few US leaders to be memorialised while still alive. The evolution of his legacy was unusual as he had such a long period between the end of his unpopular presidency and the announcement at the weekend that he would undergo no further treatment to die peacefully at his home. Carter's time in the White House was marred by his struggles to respond to formidable challenges, including a major energy crisis, high inflation, and unemployment. He took office after Gerald Ford left the entire US government in disarray. Carter entered the Oval Office facing mounting challenges - an energy crisis, Soviet aggression and, above all, a deep mistrust of leadership by voters. In foreign affairs, he reopened US relations with China and tried to broker peace in the historic Arab-Israeli conflict, but was damaged late in his term by a hostage crisis in Iran. Carter's diagnosis of America's "crisis of confidence" did little to boost his flagging popularity, and in 1980 he was defeated in the general election by Ronald Reagan. Over the following decades, Carter built a distinguished career as a diplomat, humanitarian and author, pursuing conflict resolution in countries around the globe. He was awarded the Noble Peace Prize in 2002 "for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development." Born in Plains, Georgia, in October 1924, Carter attended the US Naval Academy graduating in 1946. Already, he had a solid moral compass installed in him by his nurse mother, "Miz" Lillian. She set an example for her son by crossing the strict lines of segregation in 1920s Georgia to counsel poor African American women on health care. Shortly after passing out of the navy, he married Rosalynn Smith, having four children together. But tragedy struck in July 1953 as while he was preparing to serve as an engineering officer on the submarine Seawolf, his father, Earl, died from cancer. Carter returned home and was able to rebuild his family's struggling peanut warehouse business after a crippling drought. Ironically the legume became the symbol of his presidential campaign. Active in community affairs and a deacon at the Plains Baptist Church, he launched his political career with a seat on his local board of education. In 1962, he won the election to the Georgia State Senate as a Democrat, running for the governor's office four years later, finishing a disappointing third. The loss sent Carter into a depression, which he overcame by finding renewed faith as a born-again Christian. He ran again for the governorship in 1970 and won. A year later, Carter was featured on the cover of Time magazine as one of a new breed of young political leaders in the South, known for their moderate racial views and progressive economic and social policies. Initially, Carter was a political phenomenon, a new-generation Democrat who, after a single term as governor of the Peach State, shocked the political world by beating a host of better-known rivals to capture his party's presidential nomination in 1976. A year later, he would oust the incumbent Republican president, Ford. Over four years in office, he sought to restore trust in government following the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal, ushering in reforms meant to transform politics. He mediated the historic Camp David Accords, making peace between Israel and Egypt, an agreement that remains the foundation of Middle East relations. But a sour economy, rocketing inflation, and a 444-day hostage crisis in Iran where 52 American diplomats were held captive undercut his public support. Ultimately, it cost him his re-election bid, losing to Ronald Reagan in 1980. Carter spent his post-presidency, however, on a series of philanthropic causes around the world, like building houses for the poor, combating disease, promoting human rights in places of repression, monitoring elections and seeking to end conflicts. His work as a former president in many ways came to eclipse his time in the White House, eventually earning him the Nobel Peace Prize and rehabilitating his image in the eyes of many Americans. "Between the time he left office and entered hospice care, he got to sit back and enjoy the adulation of a grateful nation," Jeffrey Engel, the director for the presidential history centre at Southern Methodist University, said. "The passage of time smoothed out the rough edges of his political career. If Carter had died in 1982, there would be less adulation than he is receiving right now." Joseph Crespino, the Jimmy Carter Professor of History at Emory University, called his resilience "remarkable." "Instead of sulking about not winning the second term, he used his influence and prominence from his position in politics to help millions of people and win the Nobel Peace Prize," he said. When asked about regrets, Carter spoke of his in his autobiography "A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety." The former president said he was upset by how his kiss with the Queen Mother was portrayed. He wrote how he didn't regret puckering up to Her Majesty, describing it as "lightly on the cheek" as the pair said goodnight after dinner at Buckingham Place in May 1977. However, much like his presidency, its impact never left those affected most by his actions. To her dying day, the Queen Mother had two hates, as detailed in her 2009 biography - oysters and being kissed by a US president.
In what ways has Chinese scientific knowledge influenced Western scientists – especially in fields that are still salient today? There are people who believe that China only has traditions in technology, but not in science. However, in fields like astronomy, China actually has a very long tradition of astronomical observation dating back more than 2,000 years. China has the longest and most complete records of astronomical observations, including solar and lunar eclipses, and records of stars, meteors and supernovas. Europeans do not have the same level of observational astronomy records, so Chinese records have actually had an influence on the West. In the 17th and 18th centuries, many people began to study the universe. For a long time both Western and Chinese astronomers were not sure about the changing rule of the values of the obliquity of the ecliptic. In 1722, a French Jesuit missionary named Antoine Gaubil arrived in Beijing and checked over numerous Chinese historical records. After compiling the records, he sent them to France. In the early 19th century, there was a famous French astronomer and mathematician named Pierre-Simon Laplace who read the compiled manuscript and performed some calculations and conducted research based on it. This was a way in which Chinese astronomical observations have had a very direct impact on science up until today. So these ancient Chinese scientific observations have influenced both European and American astronomers. Even now, some people are still using these records to find the earliest star explosions using large telescopes. This is the influence of Chinese astronomical records on both current and past astronomy. Have Chinese historical records also enabled the development of climate modelling and the study of climate change?Firstly, a very Merry Christmas to you and yours. This year it must be a very different Christmas for you. You seem to have been a good boy and Santa came early for you. All your Christmases came at once. It is good to see that now you are playing Santa Claus and distributing goodies all around. Some are gleefully dreaming of their bright and shiny new cars in the near future! Hopefully you are making sure that all those naughty little boys and girls who brought our country down to the lowest ebb will also receive their just desserts in due course. It’s just been three months that you have been riding the sleigh and what a ride it has been. The economy seems to be doing well and so too the stock markets. Many are pleased with the progress of the rupee too as their children’s overseas degree fees will be easier to bear. The IMF masters seem to be liking your change of heart and are going with your ideas. It’s been a little over a month that your 159 little elves joined you and seem to be working with their heads down. Talking of degrees, it appears that one of your little elves has been a tad disingenuous. This has brought about a degree of discontent among some. In soccer parlance it is referred to as an ‘own goal’ – that is when one of your own team scores a goal against the team. How could this happen? One wonders if cracks are beginning to appear in your otherwise solid defence. However, the good thing about this unfortunate incident is that all the players on the field are now scrambling to check out their credentials – rightfully earned or surreptitiously claimed. However, Mr. President the whole episode appears to be much ado about nothing. There is absolutely no educational criteria for being in Parliament. After all, there have been chain-snatchers, murderers, illicit brewers, rogues, philanderers and the like – with absolutely no certificate of worth – occupying the very same seats that are now being occupied by a plethora of eminently qualified men and women. The whole saga blew up over the egotistic Sri Lankan characteristic of pretence – ‘boru-show’ in the vernacular. Had this not been the case nothing would have happened and the Honourable Speaker would have been sitting pretty! Just a note of caution Mr. President. Lankans love to flaunt their highest level credentials. It should not surprise you that in all probability Sri Lanka has the highest number of ‘Doctors’ per capita. And these are not of the medical type whom you wish there were more of. But those claiming various other (and sometimes dubious) expertise. It may not come as a surprise that there may be in Parliament those with doctorates in ‘sesquipedalian’ – the overuse of big words when speaking! It certainly must be the case that the Sri Lankan parliament has the highest numbers of ‘Doctors’ of any legislative chamber in the world. Parliamentary chatter must be like being in a hospital with the word ‘doctor’ flowing thick and fast. You should have picked a few more CIMA accountants who quietly go about adding value. Mr President you are however not of that false demeanour. You do not need alphabets before or after your name to command respect. Your down to earth presence is sufficient. It is noted that even though your Presidential travel requires you fly in business class, you miss the hustle, bustle and chatter at the back of the plane. That is the type of man you are. Stay that way and never lose the common touch. That being said you should have cared for your dear mother better than to let her stand in that hospital queue although that would have been the way she wanted it. However, it may give your detractors a chance to say that if you do not care for you mother how would you care for rest of the community? Your point however could mean that what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Your first international Presidential visit was impressive – you held your own and hopefully with more such international forays you will once again put Sri Lanka on the global stage. Fear not, Mr. President, you may not speak the language of the King but you speak the language of the heart. Just one little word of advice....... When inspecting a guard of honour, you should keep in step with the aide-de-camp – the officer accompanying you. You are known to walk quite fast, but you need to change. As Commander-in-chief get one of your best drill sergeants to give you a bit of practice. They will oblige. Finally, Mr. President when handing out Christmas presents to your team include some books on modern world geography. It is important to know politically correct country names when playing on the international stage to avoid embarrassment. We wish you and all our fellow countrymen a bright and prosperous 2025.
BOSTON — Forty years ago, Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie rolled to his right and threw a pass that has become one of college football’s most iconic moments. With Boston College trailing defending champion Miami, Flutie threw the Hail Mary and found receiver Gerard Phalen, who made the grab while falling into the end zone behind a pair of defenders for a game-winning 48-yard TD. Flutie and many of his 1984 teammates were honored on the field during BC’s 41-21 victory over North Carolina before the second quarter on Saturday afternoon, the anniversary of the Eagles’ Miracle in Miami. “There’s no way its been 40 years,” Flutie told The Associated Press on the sideline a few minutes before he walked out with some of his former teammates to be recognized after a video of The Play was shown on the scoreboards. A statue commemorating Doug Flutie's famed "Hail Mary" pass during a game against Miami on Nov. 23, 1994, sits outside Alumni Stadium at Boston College. Famous football plays often attain a legendary status with religious names like the "Immaculate Reception," the "Hail Mary" pass and the Holy Roller fumble. It’s a moment and highlight that’s not only played throughout decades of BC students and fans, but around the college football world. “What is really so humbling is that the kids 40 years later are wearing 22 jerseys, still,” Flutie said of his old number. “That amazes me.” That game was played on national TV the Friday after Thanksgiving. The ironic thing is it was originally scheduled for earlier in the season before CBS paid Rutgers to move its game against Miami, thus setting up the BC-Miami post-holiday matchup. Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie rejoices in his brother Darren's arms after B.C. defeats Miami with a last second touchdown pass on Nov. 23, 1984, in Miami. “It shows you how random some things are, that the game was moved,” Flutie said. “The game got moved to the Friday after Thanksgiving, which was the most watched game of the year. We both end up being nationally ranked and up there. All those things lent to how big the game itself was, and made the pass and the catch that much more relevant and remembered because so many people were watching.” There’s a statue of Flutie winding up to make The Pass outside the north gates at Alumni Stadium. Fans and visitors can often be seen taking photos there. “In casual conversation, it comes up every day,” Flutie said, when asked how many times people bring it up. “It brings a smile to my face every time we talk about it.” A week after the game-ending Flutie pass, the Eagles beat Holy Cross and before he flew off to New York to accept the Heisman. They went on to win the 49th Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day. Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie evades Miami defensive tackle Kevin Fagan during the first quarter of a game on Nov. 23, 1984, in Miami, Fla. “Forty years seem almost like incomprehensible,” said Phalen, also standing on the sideline a few minutes after the game started. “I always say to Doug: ‘Thank God for social media. It’s kept it alive for us.”’ Earlier this week, current BC coach Bill O’Brien, 55, was asked if he remembered where he was 40 years ago. “We were eating Thanksgiving leftovers in my family room,” he said. “My mom was saying a Rosary in the kitchen because she didn’t like Miami and wanted BC to win. My dad, my brother and I were watching the game. “It was unbelievable,” he said. “Everybody remembers where they were for the Hail Mary, Flutie pass.” Mike Tyson, left, slaps Jake Paul during a weigh-in ahead of their heavyweight bout, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, in Irving, Texas.
