A couple's fight was so bad it caused a Lufthansa flight to divert
While such action is normally reserved for the most extreme incidents of danger to the safety of the flight and those aboard, there have been a number of jaw-dropping reasons for a flight diversion over the years. Last July, a United Airlines (UAL) - Get Free Report flight from Houston to Amsterdam made an emergency landing in Chicago after one of the passengers in first class grew belligerent after being told that his first choice of meal was not available. A month later, another United flight between Houston and Los Angeles was diverted to Phoenix after one of the passengers reportedly "couldn't get her wine."Related: An entire flight has been diverted over diaper thought to be a bomb At the end of November, a Lufthansa (DLAKF) - Get Free Report plane going from Germany's Munich to Thailand's Bangkok was diverted to New Delhi halfway through the flight due to an argument between a couple onboard.Passenger reported 'threw food, tried to burn a blanket and shouted at his wife' As first reported by the Times of India, officials at Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) received communication that flight LH772 needed to make an emergency landing due to a "possible unruly passenger." More Travel:A new travel term is taking over the internet (and reaching airlines and hotels)The 10 best airline stocks to buy nowAirlines see a new kind of traveler at the front of the plane Information provided to airport officials later revealed that a 53-year-old German man "threw food, tried to burn a blanket using a lighter, shouted at his wife and did not follow the instructions issued by the crew." The authorities did not elaborate how the man tried to burn the blanket or got a lighter onboard the flight. As he grew increasingly belligerent, the pilot chose to divert the flight to the nearest city and hand the case over to India's Central Industrial Security Force. The Thai wife that the man was traveling with was not identified as unruly and chose to continue her journey to Bangkok after her husband was unloaded.Unruly behavior earned this passenger a permanent Lufthansa ban Lufthansa spokesperson Tal Muscal later confirmed that "the person in question was handed over to the authorities" and permanently banned from taking Lufthansa flights. "The passenger has been banned from traveling on Lufthansa Group flights with immediate effect," Muscal said. The Times of India also reported that authorities were weighing whether to hand the passenger over to Delhi Police or send him back to Germany after he apologized for his actions through the country's embassy. Lufthansa's strict response comes at a time when the industry has been grappling with rising incidents of difficult passengers. Numbers from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) show that there was one unruly passenger on every 835 flights in 2021 but one on every 568 flights in 2022. In the aviation world, the term "unruly" is someone who jeopardizes the safety of the flight according to four categories ranging from "suspicious or threatening behavior" to actions that are "life-threatening." "The increasing trend of unruly passenger incidents is worrying," IATA Deputy Director General Conrad Clifford said of the findings in July 2023. "Passengers and crew are entitled to a safe and hassle-free experience on board." Over in the U.S., the Federal Aviation Administration has also announced plans to come down harder on passengers who cause disturbances in the air or jeopardize the safety of others.

*Apple names top 9 apps of 2023 – here's what made the list*
Despite it being the last month of the year, and Apple's (AAPL) - Get Free Report sales almost surely escalating through the holidays, the tech giant is still hard at work for its customers. In only the back half of 2023, Apple released new iPhones, Apple Watches, new operating systems, updated software for beloved accessories, and more.Related: Former Apple worker reveals top 7 iPhone hacks that completely change how you use it Despite a more muted earnings report in September (revenue was down 0.72% year-over-year, though it came in 0.15% above expectations), the stock continues to ride something of a high. It's up over 50% year-to-date. And this is before its important holiday season, which often sees sales escalate as people snap up everything from iPhones, AirPods, watches, and other accessories for their loved ones or themselves. In the spirit of giving, Apple also recently released its list of top apps for the 2023 year – a welcome boost of confidence and PR for the finalists. It chose from a list of 40 finalists and whittled the final tally down to just nine – still an impressive number, when you account for the over one million that can be found on Apple's app store. Apple unveils top apps of 2023 One of the most notable aspects of Apple's list of contenders is that it includes many third-party apps. While it has been undergoing years of legal scrutiny over its App Store rules and payment system, it's still one of the most widely-used app stores and the place to be if you want your app to gain traction. As of October, there were 3.7 million apps on the Google Play Store (its most direct competitor), and nearly 5 million on the Apple App Store. Apple Store icon displayed on a phone screen is seen in this illustration photo taken in Krakow, Poland on January 29, 2023. (Photo by Jakub Porzycki/NurPhoto via Getty Images) NurPhoto/Getty Images Here are the top apps of 2023, according to Apple: Best iPhone app: AllTrailsBest iPad App: Prêt-à-MakeupBest Mac App: PhotomatorBest Apple TV App: MUBIBest Apple Watch App: SmartGymBest iPhone Game: Honkai: Star RailBest iPad Game: Lost in PlayBest Mac Game: Lies of PBest Apple Arcade Game: Hello Kitty Island Adventure Apple also released a list of five top Cultural Impact Winners, which are awarded based on their social impact and what they do to push society forward. They are: Cultural Impact Winner: Pok PokCultural Impact Winner: ProloquoCultural Impact Winner: Too Good To GoCultural Impact Winner: UnpackingCultural Impact Winner: Finding Hannah Apple also named its Trend of the Year, which reflects on some of the biggest markers of progress and innovation in the past 12 months. Naturally, 2023's Trend of the Year was generative artificial intelligence (or gen AI). "Apps are a reflection of culture, and in 2023, generative AI captured users’ collective imagination with its evolution unfolding in real time," Apple said. "Apps started integrating AI throughout the year in a variety of ways." Apple mentioned several AI-enabled apps by name, including: ChaptGPTCanvaPicsartPinterestCraftArtifactSololearnSmartDreams "The field of artificial intelligence has been with us for decades (the term was coined over 60 years ago), but never before have we been able to interact with AI as naturally. Generative AI made apps more helpful—but more importantly, it made that helpfulness iterative, letting us refine the answers, images, and expertise apps provided," Apple wrote. "This is a seismic shift, driven in part by innovations in large-language models that generate natural language, and diffusion models that generate images — all starting from a simple prompt."

*Women's sports will achieve a billion-dollar milestone in 2024, a major firm predicts*
2024 is going to be a record-breaking year for women's sports, at least according to a prediction by business consulting firm Deloitte. The company released studies predicting the future of several different topics including AI, telecom, and media, and one of their predictions indicated is that it expects women's elite sports to generate about $1.28 billion in revenue in 2024. That projection is at least 300% higher than what the firm had originally projected for women's sports when they wrote about the topic in 2021. Related: Saudi PIF could further diversify sports investments through these two growing sports leagues The sports that are expected to drive revenue are football and basketball, which will amount for about 71% of total revenue. Leagues and competitions like the FIFA Women's World Cup, Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour, and Women's Tennis Association (WTA) tour are expected to account for about one-third of the total revenue. Deloitte's forecast shows that the 55% will be driven by commercial revenue — which includes sponsorships for teams, leagues, competition, and athletes. It forecasts the renewal of sponsorships to increase similar to the deal between Barclays and the Women's Super League, the top English soccer league, which doubled to $37 million when it was renewed starting in 2022. The firm also predicts that several companies may start to their budgets to women's sports due to its fast growth, similar to what fintech company Ally Financial did when it pledged to spend an equal paid media across men's and women's sports by 2027. Broadcast is the second expected driver of the billion-dollar revenue milestone. Overall sports are in the midst of finding a medium between the reach and accessibility of free broadcasting versus pay TV or direct-to-consumer services. Women's sports is no exception, but there is still an expectation that upcoming broadcasting rights renewals will increase. One example in 2024 is the NCAA March Madness women's tournament. After the craze surrounding Iowa's Caitlin Clark and LSU's Angel Reese that saw the championship game average nearly 10 million viewers, the tournament is expected to be around $100 million, according to a report by Front Office Sports. This would be nearly three times of its current deal, and that's considering that the tournament is currently tied together with 29 other women's sports championships.Related: Pablo Torre is upending the norms of sports media — and his parents — with his new show The firm also said that the investment in women's sports teams should continue to grow which could drive up the valuation of some teams to over $100 million. Sports franchises across the board have seen values increase quickly, and there looks to be investor appetite in women's sports. Some examples include the recently announced WNBA expansion team in San Francisco which will be under the same ownership group as the NBA's Golden State Warriors. Deloitte's study concludes by providing recommendations for the sporting world at large on how to continue to capitalize on the growth of the league. These recommendations include developing women's elite sport as "distinct from men's elite sport," further developing the pipeline of talent of women at a young age, and for the media to continue to build the profile of female athletes.

The firm also predicts that several companies may start to their budgets to women's sports due to its fast growth, similar to what fintech company Ally Financial did when it pledged to spend an equal paid media across men's and women's sports by 2027. Broadcast is the second expected driver of the billion-dollar revenue milestone. Overall sports are in the midst of finding a medium between the reach and accessibility of free broadcasting versus pay TV or direct-to-consumer services. Women's sports is no exception, but there is still an expectation that upcoming broadcasting rights renewals will increase. One example in 2024 is the NCAA March Madness women's tournament. After the craze surrounding Iowa's Caitlin Clark and LSU's Angel Reese that saw the championship game average nearly 10 million viewers, the tournament is expected to be around $100 million, according to a report by Front Office Sports. This would be nearly three times of its current deal, and that's considering that the tournament is currently tied together with 29 other women's sports championships.Related: Pablo Torre is upending the norms of sports media — and his parents — with his new show The firm also said that the investment in women's sports teams should continue to grow which could drive up the valuation of some teams to over $100 million. Sports franchises across the board have seen values increase quickly, and there looks to be investor appetite in women's sports. Some examples include the recently announced WNBA expansion team in San Francisco which will be under the same ownership group as the NBA's Golden State Warriors. Deloitte's study concludes by providing recommendations for the sporting world at large on how to continue to capitalize on the growth of the league. These recommendations include developing women's elite sport as "distinct from men's elite sport," further developing the pipeline of talent of women at a young age, and for the media to continue to build the profile of female athletes.

An incredible billion-dollar milestone is looming in 2024 for sports, a major firm predicts
Deloitte says the prediction is at least 300% higher than what it had thought in 2021.
Women's sports will achieve a billion-dollar milestone in 2024, a major firm predicts
2024 is going to be a record-breaking year for women's sports, at least according to a prediction by business consulting firm Deloitte. The company released studies predicting the future of several different topics including AI, telecom, and media, and one of their predictions indicated is that it expects women's elite sports to generate about $1.28 billion in revenue in 2024. That projection is at least 300% higher than what the firm had originally projected for women's sports when they wrote about the topic in 2021. Related: Saudi PIF could further diversify sports investments through these two growing sports leagues The sports that are expected to drive revenue are football and basketball, which will amount for about 71% of total revenue. Leagues and competitions like the FIFA Women's World Cup, Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour, and Women's Tennis Association (WTA) tour are expected to account for about one-third of the total revenue.

*Powell pushes back on rate-cut bets, says too early to speculate on next move*
Updated at 11:25 AM EST Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell repeated his warning that the U.S. economy faces elevated inflation risks, adding that he considers it too soon to speculate as to when the central bank will begin cutting interest rates. In remarks prepared for a speech at Spelman College in Atlanta, the central-bank chairman pushed back on recent market bets that the Fed has reached the end of its interest-rate-hiking cycle, one of the most aggressive in four decades, and would even look to lower the federal-funds rate in the early spring. "The full effects of our tightening have likely not yet been felt. The forcefulness of our response to inflation also helped maintain the Fed's hard-won credibility, ensuring that the public's expectations of future inflation remain well-anchored," Powell said. "It would be premature to conclude with confidence that we have achieved a sufficient restrictive stance, or to speculate on when policy might ease." "We are prepared to tighten policy further if it becomes appropriate to do so," he added.Related: Recession is a long way off, and that means Fed rate cuts may be as wellMarket reaction to Powell's remarks U.S. stocks were modestly higher following the release of headlines from Powell's remarks, with the S&P 500 marked 5 points, or 0.08%, higher on the session and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining 65 points. Benchmark 10-year-note yields, meanwhile, were marked 5 basis points lower on the day at 4.278% while 2-year notes were pegged at 4.629% The U.S. dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of its global peers, was marked 0.01% lower from yesterday's levels at 103.489. CME Group's FedWatch is now pricing in no chance that the Fed will lift the benchmark federal funds rate by a quarter percentage point, to between 5.5% and 5.75%, when it meets next month in Washington. The odds of a hike in January, however, edged higher to 10.1%. Bets on a quarter point March rate cut, meanwhile, are holding at 52.1%, up from just 11% last month, with the odds of a reduction in May pegged at 45.3%.Action Alerts PLUS offers expert portfolio guidance to help you make informed investing decisions.

*Critical U.S. infrastructure is increasingly being targeted by hackers*
A robust infrastructure is often the biggest differentiator between first world countries and developing ones. The infrastructure in the United States has been crumbling for decades as politicians struggle to get Congressional support to spend the trillions of dollars needed to modernize our electric, transportation, and sewage grids. Related: Ransomware Gangs Are Shifting Their Attacks to Smaller Companies But first world infrastructure is facing a much scarier threat than just time and neglect. Hackers are also targeting critical infrastructure in the U.S., and in recent weeks they have been particularly busy with their attacks. This week alone hospitals across the U.S. had to divert ambulances from their emergency rooms due to a ransomware attack; the North Texas Municipal Water District started investigating a suspected ransomware attack; real estate services company Fidelity National Financial was also hit by an attack, preventing some customers from paying their mortgages for several days. Ransomware attack against critical infrastructure has increased in 2023, according to Axios which spoke to Allan Liska, a ransomware expert at Record Future. There have been 317 publicly reported ransomware attacks against health care entities so far this year compared to 245 all of last year, according to Liska. School attacks have also increased, with 243 publicly reported attacks in 2023 compared to 189 total incidents last year. "We are seeing an uptick and that is normal for this time of year," Liska said. "I think it's a bigger [post-Thanksgiving] uptick than we normally see." Earlier this year, a high-profile cyberattack against, MGM Resorts (MGM) - Get Free Report threw the Las Vegas Strip into a state of chaos. The ransomware attack shut down everything from hotel reservation services to ATMs to slot machines at the MGM properties. MGM says the attack negatively affected its third quarter results to the tune of about $100 million. Its rival, Caesars Entertainment (CZR) - Get Free Report paid tens of millions of dollars to hackers who had performed a similar attack against the company just days prior. Signs of the growing problem were apparent earlier this year. The number of ransomware victims in March were nearly double the number from the previous year, according to a study from Black Kite, a Boston-based third-party cyber risk intelligence company. The report showed that hackers targeted the manufacturing industry the most, followed by the professional, scientific and technical services industry, according to a report by Black Kite that analyzed ransomware attacks from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023. Educational services received 6.1% of the attacks. The U.S. was the number one targeted country, accounting for 43% of victim organizations, followed by the U.K. and Germany (4.4%).
