Just 24 minutes into the Gunners' clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday has to be replaced and later left Selhurst Park on crutches. Mikel Arteta later confirmed that Saka would be absent for 'many weeks' with a hamstring injury , with concerns from inside the club that the England star could be out until early March. The news comes as a significant blow to Arsenal's title hopes, with the club having already seen captain Martin Odegaard miss multiple games through injury earlier in the campaign. With Saka set for an extended spell on the sidelines, speculation has fixated on whether Arteta will look to bolster his options when the transfer window opens next month. According to a report from The Standard , Arsenal are one of several clubs that will be offered the chance to sign PSG forward Randal Kolo Muani on loan for the remainder of the season. Arsenal are reportedly set to be offered the chance to sign PSG forward Randal Kolo Muani on loan after losing Bukayo Saka through injury Gunners boss Mikel Arteta confirmed earlier this week that Saka will be out for several weeks France international Muani has recently found himself on the fringes of Luis Enrique's plans at the Parc des Princes Kolo Muani was seen as a marquee arrival when PSG paid £64million plus add-ons to sign him from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2023. However, the France international endured a disappointing maiden campaign at the Parc des Princes, scoring just 9 goals in 40 games in all competitions. This season Kolo Muani's stock has dropped even further, with PSG boss Luis Enrique limiting the 26-year-old to just two league starts so far this season. Asked about Muani's future at PSG earlier this month Enrique insisted: 'I could speak about it but I won’t because my decisions say it all, even if as I have said, all of my decisions can be changed.’ Muani has three-and-a-half years left on his contract with Les Parisiens, with the deal reportedly worth upwards of £200,000-per-week.

Global Home Care Services Market Projected To Reach USD 1,614.1 Billion By 2035, Growing At A CAGR Of 10.5% | Future Market Insights, Inc.Apple has just unleashed a wave of new AI-powered features with the release of iOS 18.2, and the most groundbreaking of these is undoubtedly the integration of ChatGPT with Siri. This move marks a significant leap forward in Apple’s AI capabilities, transforming Siri from a simple voice assistant into a powerful tool capable of complex reasoning, creative content generation, and seamless information retrieval. Imagine asking Siri to draft an email, write a poem, or summarize a lengthy document – all with the intelligence and nuance of ChatGPT. This is the future Apple is offering, and it’s available now. This integration, announced on December 11, 2024, is part of Apple’s broader “Apple Intelligence” initiative, which aims to infuse AI capabilities across its ecosystem. With iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2, users in countries including the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand can now experience the combined power of Siri and ChatGPT. But what does this mean for the average Apple user? How will this change the way we interact with our devices? And what are the implications for privacy and data security? Let’s dive in. A New Era for Siri: From Voice Commands to Intelligent Conversations Remember the early days of Siri, when you could ask basic questions like “What’s the weather today?” or “Set an alarm for 7 AM”? Those days are long gone. With ChatGPT integration, Siri can now engage in more complex and nuanced conversations, understand context, and generate human-quality text. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities: This is just the tip of the iceberg. As developers start tapping into the potential of this integration, we can expect to see even more innovative applications emerge in the coming months. How Does it Work? Apple has designed the integration with user privacy in mind. When you ask Siri a question that could benefit from ChatGPT’s capabilities, Siri will ask for your permission before sending the request to OpenAI’s servers. This ensures that you have control over your data and can choose when to utilize ChatGPT’s capabilities. Furthermore, Apple emphasizes that OpenAI will not store your requests or use your data to train its AI models. This commitment to privacy is crucial in addressing concerns about data security and misuse in the age of AI . My Experience with the New Siri As an avid Apple user, I was eager to test out the ChatGPT integration. I started with a simple task: asking Siri to write a short story about a cat who goes on an adventure. I was amazed by the result. Siri generated a creative and engaging story with vivid descriptions and a compelling narrative. Next, I asked Siri to summarize a lengthy research paper I was reading. Again, I was impressed by the accuracy and conciseness of the summary. It saved me a significant amount of time and allowed me to grasp the key findings quickly. Finally, I decided to put Siri’s email composition skills to the test. I asked Siri to draft an email to my colleague requesting feedback on a project proposal. The email was well-written, professional, and captured the exact tone I was aiming for. Overall, my experience with the ChatGPT-powered Siri has been overwhelmingly positive. It feels like a genuine upgrade, transforming Siri from a basic assistant into a truly intelligent and versatile tool. The Implications for the Future of AI Apple’s integration of ChatGPT into Siri is a significant milestone in the evolution of AI. It demonstrates the growing potential of AI to enhance our productivity, creativity, and overall quality of life. This move also highlights the increasing importance of collaboration between tech giants. By partnering with OpenAI, Apple is leveraging the expertise of a leading AI research company to bring cutting-edge technology to its users. Looking ahead, we can expect to see even deeper integration of AI across Apple’s ecosystem. Imagine AI-powered features in Apple Music, Apple TV, and even Apple’s upcoming augmented reality devices. The possibilities are endless. Addressing Concerns and Looking Ahead While the potential benefits of ChatGPT integration are undeniable, it’s important to address some potential concerns. Despite these concerns, the potential benefits of AI far outweigh the risks. By addressing these challenges proactively, we can harness the power of AI to create a more productive, creative, and equitable future. Apple’s integration of ChatGPT with Siri is a game-changer. It elevates Siri from a simple voice assistant to a powerful AI tool capable of understanding context, generating creative content, and providing insightful information. This move marks a significant step forward in Apple’s AI strategy and sets the stage for even more innovative applications in the future. As AI continues to evolve, it’s crucial to use this technology responsibly and ethically. By prioritizing privacy, addressing bias, and promoting education, we can ensure that AI benefits all of humanity. The future of AI is bright, and Apple’s latest move is a testament to its transformative potential.Arsenal to be 'offered chance to sign £76million-rated PSG star on loan in January' as cover for Bukayo Saka, who is set to be out until MARCH with hamstring tear Arsenal have reportedly been given the chance to sign a PSG forward on loan Gunners will be without talisman Bukayo Saka in the coming weeks due to injury SOCCER A-Z: Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, or watch on YouTube.

It's not even Christmas yet, but high school girls basketball season now has its fourth No. 1 team following Mitty's dominance at the Nike TOC. Here are the national high school girls basketball rankings from The Sporting News for the week of Dec. 23. READ: Last week's rankings (Dec. 16) Top 25 High School Girls Basketball Rankings Mitty beat the top-ranked team in the country to win the Nike TOC behind dominance from McKenna Woliczko? Seems like deja vu. One year after leaping to No. 1 following an upset of Long Island Lutheran, the Monarchs have done it again for a shocking 59-34 blowout of Ontario Christian in the finals. Wolizcko was named the MVP again after dropping 38 points and 17 rebounds against Clackamas and 25 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists against Ontario Christian. It's rare to see potential CIF Open Division state championship previews occur during the regular season, but how about this. Ontario Christian doesn't have to wait until a potential March rematch for another crack at Archbishop Mitty – they play again on Jan. 4 at the SI 20 Showcase. 3. Mater Dei (CA) (12-2 – 17th) When was the last time that California teams swept the top three of a national ranking? Not sure, but the last time Mater Dei was ranked this high on a national level was during the 2019-20 and 2019-20 seasons when it went back-to-back as CIF-SS Open Division champions. Mater Dei's only losses came to the only two higher-ranked teams, so it was clear for takeoff in the rankings after upsetting Bishop McNamara. Mater Dei was No. 17 last week, so why didn't Bishop McNamara drop more for the loss? Before getting upset, it had already beaten IMG Academy by 23 points, Central Pointe Christian Academy by 25, Bullis by eight, and Sage Hill by 26. And Bishop McNamara bounced back after losing to beat Clackamas 53-48. Now it's the conference favorite entering another brutal year of Washington Catholic play. Biding time while most other top-ranked teams have gotten their hands dirty with national competition. Westtown did handle Shining Star Sports Academy 73-64 in its one crack at a ranked foe. LuHi has only played five games, but its season-opening wins against Bishop Ireton (79-73) and St. Paul VI (78-44) are already aging particularly well as those downed foes have otherwise been untouchable. Long Island Lutheran opens the Tampa Bay Christmas Invitational as a heavy favorite against ever-dangerous Miami Country Day. Unsurprisingly, Sierra Canyon had no trouble winning the top division at the Tarkanian Classic for the second time in three years, although Couer D'Alene and Vanden managed not to get totally dismantled. Expect a similar showing – or perhaps an even more dominant one – this week at the Glendora Christmas Tournament. Still unbeaten, and for the most part unscathed. Lawrence North is the lone team to give the Bears a scare, losing 52-51 to them on Dec. 12, and that rematch is on Jan. 16. 9. Sidwell Friends (DC) (7-0 – 12 th ) Make it seven wins against seven excellent teams for the Quakers. They beat Potomac School 58-35 in their only game of the week. Narrowly avoided disaster against a quality foe in St. Frances Academy, winning 58-55 in its first test of the season. It's a nine-spot drop for Montverde Academy after a major upset to Canadian powerhouse Fort Erie International, which has lost to Bishop McNamara and Paul VI (VA). It didn't help the Eagles' stock that some of the best teams they've beaten, such as Purcell Marian, Winston-Salem Christian, and St. Thomas Aquinas, recently took stop-dropping losses. With that said, Montverde has been without arguably its top player, Agot Makeer, since November. This might not prove to be a season-altering loss. In one of the biggest upsets of the year so far, Hebron Christian fell 55-52 to Langston Hughes on Friday at the Cherokee Invitational. So why didn't Hebron Christian fall more? The Lions defeated Langston Hughes 62-55 six days prior, and Langston Hughes, now on the bubble, is otherwise unbeaten with wins against Holy Innocents' Episcopal, Hoover (AL), and Westminster Academy. 13. Bradley Central (TN) (13-0 – 13 th ) Bradley Central handily defeated McMinn County, Bartlett, and Clarksville Christian to stay unbeaten. After much ado, the Caseys are finally underway and off to a good start. They beat St. Joseph-by-the-Sea 70-44 and Virginia Academy 61-37. The Red Raiders jump back into action after Christmas at the Visitation Christmas Tournament. 16. Pewaukee (WI) (7-0 – 18th) Still nothing but wins of 15 points or more for the Pirates, which defeated West Allis Central 89-4 and Homestead 55-40. They play one of the biggest tests of the season on Friday against Whitney Young. Johnston finally was tested and won a defensive grinder 49-41 against Dowling Catholic. They meet again in conference play on Jan. 24. The tour de force continues. Princess Anne has scored at least 80 points and more than doubled its opponents score in all seven contests, including against recent victims Ocean Lakes (95-24) and First Colonial (97-9). Sitting pretty at 21-0 after a well-earned week off from games. With most of its big tests already in the past, Lincoln has a strong chance at an undefeated regular season. 20. Clackamas (OR) (3-2 – 23rd) Despite two losses, the Nike TOC wasn't a bad showing for the Cavaliers. They were close losses to national title contenders in Archbishop Mitty and Bishop McNamara, and those were sandwiched in between convincing wins against Princeton and Purcell Marian. 21. Putnam City North (OK) (11-1 – Bubble) Getting a rematch three days after a loss sounds like the perfect amount of time to reflect, rest up, and prepare for revenge. Thus was the case for the Panthers, who beat Norman 57-49 on Tuesday after losing 65-62 on Saturday. The rubber match worth a 6A District 2 title is on Feb. 4. Reeling after a 40-38 loss to PHH Prep on Friday. The Ascenders did pick up a nice win the day before, blowing out another Arizona power Bella Vista College Prep 62-24. 23. Duncanville (TX) (11-4 – Bubble) Fired up after beating rival DeSoto 74-55. Duncanville will pick right after Christmas at the Sandra Meadows Classic, which includes a high-profile matchup with Boswell. 24. Cypress Springs (TX) (17-3 Bubble) Now up to 13 wins in a row, including against Etiwanda, Summer Creek, and Audenried, since starting 4-3. It turns out Cypress Springs was missing an important piece, junior guard Tamiah Harrison, in its last loss, which came 51-48 to Frisco Memorial. Its only others were against Lincoln and Duncanville. Etiwanda resumes play after Christmas at the SoCal Holiday Prep Classic. Teams on the bubble: AZ Compass Prep (AZ) Bishop Ireton (VA) Blue Valley North (KS) Boswell (TX) Bullis (MD) Central Pointe Christian Academy (FL) Clovis West (CA) Elizabeth Seton (MD) Grandview (CO) Grind Prep (OK) Guyer Denton (TX) Flower Mound (TX) Langston Hughes (GA) Lyons (IL) Norman (OK) Oak Cliff Faith Family Academy (TX) PHH Prep (AZ) Purcell Marian (OH) River Ridge (GA) Shining Star Sports Academy (VA) South Bend Washington (IN) St. Francis (GA) St. John's (DC) St. Paul VI (VA) Tualatin (OR) Valor Christian (CO) Winston-Salem Christian National (NC)
