South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday said he would lift martial law just hours after he imposed it, in a brief and confusing episode in which he blasted the opposition as "anti-state forces" threatening the country's democracy. The unexpected move from Yoon -- the first time martial law had been declared in South Korea in more than four decades -- alarmed the United States and the country's other allies. What do we know about the imposition, its lifting and what might come next? In a dramatic, late-night emergency television address to the nation, Yoon announced that he was imposing martial law, as he accused the opposition of paralysing the government with "anti-state activities". A six-point decree from the new martial law commander, army chief General Park An-su swiftly followed, banning political activities and parties, "false propaganda", strikes and "gatherings that incite social unrest". The order also brought all media outlets under the authority of martial law and directed all medical staff, including striking doctors, to return to work within 48 hours. Security forces sealed the National Assembly, helicopters landed on the roof and troops entered the building for a short time, seemingly in a bid to prevent lawmakers from getting inside. But 190 lawmakers managed to enter and voted unanimously to reject Yoon's declaration and call for martial law to be lifted. Outside, hundreds of protesters gathered, many raising chants calling for Yoon to be arrested. Following the lawmakers' vote, Yoon backed down. His cabinet additionally approved the motion to lift the order, Yonhap news agency reported. "Just a moment ago, there was a demand from the National Assembly to lift the state of emergency, and we have withdrawn the military that was deployed for martial law operations," Yoon said in a televised address around 4:30 am (1930 GMT Tuesday). Under South Korea's constitution, the parliamentary vote to lift martial law has to be respected. Yoon said he was acting to safeguard his country's liberal democracy from "anti-state elements" and "threats posed by North Korea" -- but gave little detail. While unexpected, the announcement came in the context of a festering budget row between Yoon and the opposition Democratic Party. The opposition has slashed around 4.1 trillion won ($2.8 billion) from Yoon's proposed 677 trillion won budget for next year, prompting the president to complain that "all key budgets essential to the nation's core functions" were being cut. "What is clear is that Yoon has been a deeply unpopular, ineffectual leader and he is having a hard time getting any kind of public support for anything he's trying to do," said Alan Yu, a former US diplomat in Asia now at the Center for American Progress. "The use of martial law feels almost like a desperation move to try to break out, both in a political and policy sense, but it is really poorly played on both fronts." Domestically, pressure has only grown further on Yoon after his late-night bombshell. South Korea's main opposition party has demanded that Yoon step down, accusing him of "insurrection". The country's main labour union group has also called an "indefinite general strike" until he resigns over the "irrational and anti-democratic measure". Yoon's own People Power Party described his attempt at imposing martial law as "tragic" and demanded that those involved be held accountable. South Korea is a key Western ally in Asia, seen as an important democratic bulwark in a region dominated by authoritarian regimes, and the drama is being watched with concern. Washington said it was "relieved President Yoon has reversed course" on his martial law order. Earlier, Britain and Germany both said they were closely following developments. China, a key ally of nuclear-armed North Korea, urged its citizens to exercise caution, while Russia -- itself increasingly close to Pyongyang -- called the situation "alarming". burs-pdw-bfm-hmn/cwlSteve Yzerman expecting new coach Todd McLellan to get Red Wings back on track

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) rebuked critics who found his bipartisan spirit toward Dr. Mehmet Oz , the incoming Trump administration's nominee to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, distasteful. President-elect Donald Trump nominated Oz to oversee the federal program on Tuesday, sparking a move from Fetterman to break from the Democratic Party and express his possible support for the physician. Responding to negative reactions from Democrats on Friday, Fetterman slammed the “freakouts” and explained that if he voted to confirm Oz in the Senate, his move likely wouldn’t affect the results as Republicans hold the majority in the upper chamber. Saying he just wanted an “open dialogue” and mocking the “hot takes online,” the senator said in a post to X: "Math is math: GOP has 53 votes and Oz has a new job. ... He doesn’t have to give a s*** about Dem votes, and same for the remaining nominees. Fetterman and Oz were onetime rivals during Pennsylvania’s 2022 Senate race. After the two engaged in an intensely personal campaign, during which Fetterman faced a flood of scrutiny about his health after a stroke, the Democrat ultimately beat his Republican opponent by just under 6 percentage points. The Pennsylvania senator appeared to bear little animus toward Oz after Trump tapped him to head the CMS. "If Dr. Oz is about protecting and preserving Medicare and Medicaid, I’m voting for the dude," Fetterman said on X. While conceding Oz may not have been the Democrats’ “first choice,” Fetterman has called his plans to cut waste and fraud in the federal program “a good thing.” If Oz was going to make the programs more efficient, “then I’m not going to vote against that,” he told the Independent earlier this week. "Our politics are obviously different, and we do have a history, but I don’t have any bitterness. I don’t hold anything against him," the senator added Tuesday. Fetterman has received backlash from former staffers over his bipartisan approach to Oz’s nomination. The director of operations for Fetterman’s Senate campaign called the move “a huge personal betrayal,” saying that he said in 2022 that Oz would “gut” Medicare and Medicaid. “I feel like I’ve been duped and 2 years of working on your campaign was a waste,” Victoria Perrone said in a post . Before nominating Oz to head CMS, Trump reiterated promises to protect Social Security and Medicare on the campaign trail, indicating cuts are not on the horizon. Fetterman did, however, attack Oz for his support for Medicare Advantage, the privately run version of Medicare, during his campaign and suggested that the physician supported a Republican plan that he worried would “destroy Social Security + Medicare.” The senator’s evolution on Oz comes after he has surprised his party's left wing several times since he was elected two years ago. Fetterman often branded himself as a progressive during his Senate campaign two years ago. But in December 2023, he rejected the label outright, saying that he is "not a progressive." He has frequently spurned tribalistic behavior since he was elected to office, taking an approach to illegal immigration and the war in Gaza that is often more in line with Republicans than members of his own party. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER Fetterman has also often criticized factions of his party for alienating right-leaning and centrist voters, telling colleagues to take their message to platforms and people outside of the Democratic bubble. His move to express tentative support for Oz comes after he backed Trump’s decision to nominate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) as the next secretary of state earlier this month, calling him a “strong choice.”

TAMPA, Fla. — Three days after President-elect Donald Trump tapped him to lead the Drug Enforcement Administration, Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said late Tuesday that he no longer wants to be considered for the job. The sheriff made the abrupt announcement on social media. “Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration,” Chronister wrote. “There is more work to be done for the citizens of Hillsborough County and a lot of initiatives I am committed to fulfilling.” The sheriff offered no specific details about his reason for withdrawing his nomination. Trump announced Saturday evening that Chronister was his pick to be the administrator for the federal agency in charge of enforcing the nation’s drug laws. The selection, while widely praised, was unusual in that Chronister had spent his career in local law enforcement. The selection came a week after Trump picked Hillsborough County native Pam Bondi, Florida’s former attorney general, to lead the U.S. Department of Justice. Bondi, who began her career as a prosecutor in Tampa , has worked alongside Chronister and would have worked closely with him in his role at the Drug Enforcement Administration. Chronister called his nomination to lead the federal agency the “honor of a lifetime.” Though the nomination drew praise from local law enforcement leaders, some national conservative political figures were questioning the selection by Monday and Tuesday. They noted that in 2020 Chronister arrested a church pastor who refused to abide by COVID-19 lockdown orders. Some also questioned Chronister’s policies and past actions on guns, immigration, protests and other issues. ©2024 Tampa Bay Times. Visit tampabay.com .

If you’re ready to have more fun, connect with friends and break out of your comfort zone in 2025, immersive experiences are the way to go. These creative activities blend entertainment, art and technology into unforgettable nights out. Immersive nightlife goes beyond the conventional dance floor or cocktail bar, integrating interactive storytelling, cutting-edge technology, and multisensory elements to create environments where guests become part of the experience. Think of it as stepping into a live-action movie, an art installation, or a futuristic game. From AI-enhanced light shows to rooms where walls respond to your movements, the goal is to engage every sense and leave patrons awestruck. These experiences often incorporate elements of escapism, transporting attendees to entirely new worlds. Whether it’s a speakeasy hidden inside a labyrinthine puzzle or a nightclub designed as a space station, immersive nightlife challenges the imagination while delivering high-energy fun. One of the most popular types of immersive nightlife experiences is escape rooms, which have been growing in popularity in the U.S. over the past 10 years. These interactive adventures challenge groups to solve puzzles, uncover clues, and work together to “escape” within a set time limit. Modern escape rooms often incorporate high-tech elements like projection mapping, augmented reality, and even live actors to elevate the experience. Themes range from solving a heist to surviving a zombie apocalypse, making every visit unique. Escape rooms have become their own industry, with chains like Escapology – whose locations include Los Angeles, San Diego and Riverside counties – as well as highly creative smaller operations like Wizards & Wires Escape Games in Riverside, Unlocked in Costa Mesa and Lara’s Labyrinth in San Diego For nightlife enthusiasts, late-night escape room events with added theatrical elements or themed cocktails are a fresh twist on traditional social outings. Virtual reality (VR) lounges are another thrilling addition to the immersive nightlife scene. These venues offer cutting-edge VR experiences where guests can dive into fantastical worlds, compete in multiplayer games, or even participate in interactive storytelling. With high-resolution headsets and motion-tracking technology, these lounges allow patrons to fully immerse themselves in otherworldly adventures.Many VR lounges pair these experiences with trendy bar menus, creating a social hub where guests can relax, compare scores, and extend the fun after their virtual escapades. Popular SoCal VR hotspots include Los Virtuality in Los Angeles, Sandbox VR in Woodland Hills and The GRID in Oceanside. Interactive art museums and installations bring a creative flair to immersive nightlife. These spaces invite visitors to become part of the artwork itself, using touch, sound, and motion to activate exhibits. Picture walking through rooms that react to your presence with cascading lights, evolving soundscapes, or transformative projections. Some venues even host nighttime events with live music, themed cocktails, and exclusive access to exhibits, creating a blend of culture and entertainment that’s perfect for a night out. These art-driven experiences are not only visually stunning but also provide a unique way to explore creativity while socializing. A great example is WNDR Museum in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter where you can take in over 15 installations of awe-inspiring immersive art.

Left’s hysteria over Trump’s mass-deportation plan turns off the rest of us — and boosts HIM

Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Kakinada has undertaken three prestigious projects to create an atmosphere conducive to research and innovation. Firstly, a drone purchased at a cost of Rs.10 lakh will be deployed in the air for an hour every day. Its cameras will scan every nook and corner to detect anti-social activities, if any, on the campus. JNTUK vice chancellor-incharge, Muralikrishna said that the drone flight service will detect those who openly drink alcohol, use cigarettes or do any other anti-social activity. Besides, a drone manufacturing organisation will send its personnel to teach the students how drones are manufactured and deployed. Secondly, a Humanoid will be deployed on the University campus to greet visitors with a Hello. It would perform simple tasks like picking garbage and providing drinking water to the visitors. It will be bought for Rs.10 lakh and such equipment would also be manufactured at the university. A third project is for generation of ‘Wealth from Waste’. For the past four decades, four rooms of the electrical department have been filled with electrical waste. The University would set up a museum on the campus for these outdated products.

LOS ANGELES — President-elect Donald Trump’s promise of mass deportations and tougher immigration restrictions is deepening mistrust of the health care system among California’s immigrants and clouding the future for providers serving the state’s most impoverished residents. At the same time, immigrants living illegally in Southern California told KFF Health News they thought the economy would improve and their incomes might increase under Trump, and for some that outweighed concerns about health care. Community health workers say fear of deportation is already affecting participation in Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program for low-income residents, which was regardless of residency status over the past several years. That could undercut the state’s progress in reducing the uninsured rate, which reached a record low of 6.4% last year. Immigrants lacking legal residency have long worried that participation in government programs could make them targets, and Trump’s election has compounded those concerns, community advocates say. The incoming Trump administration is also expected to target Medicaid with , which activists worry could threaten the Medi-Cal expansion and kneecap efforts to under Covered California to all immigrants. “The fear alone has so many consequences to the health of our communities,” said , director of policy with the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California. “This is, as they say, not their first rodeo. They understand how the system works. I think this machine is going to be, unfortunately, a lot more harmful to our communities.” Alongside such worries, though, is a strain of optimism that Trump might be a boon to the economy, according to interviews with immigrants in Los Angeles whom health care workers were soliciting to sign up for Medi-Cal. Since Election Day, community health worker Yanet Martinez said, people are more reluctant to hear her pitch for subsidized health insurance or cancer prevention screenings. “They think I’m going to share their information to deport them,” Martinez said. (Vanessa G. Sánchez/KFF Health News/TNS) Clinics and community health workers encourage immigrants to enroll for health coverage through Medi-Cal and Covered California. But workers have noticed that fear of deportation has chilled participation. (Vanessa G. Sánchez/KFF Health News/TNS) Community health workers like Yanet Martinez encourage people to enroll for health benefits. But many California immigrants fear that using subsidized services could hurt their chances of obtaining legal residency. (Vanessa G. Sánchez/KFF Health News/TNS) Since Election Day, community health worker Yanet Martinez said, people are more reluctant to hear her pitch for subsidized health insurance or cancer prevention screenings. “They think I’m going to share their information to deport them,” Martinez said. (Vanessa G. Sánchez/KFF Health News/TNS) Selvin, 39, who, like others interviewed for this article, asked to be identified by only his first name because he’s living here without legal permission, said that even though he believes Trump dislikes people like him, he thinks the new administration could help boost his hours at the food processing facility where he works packing noodles. “I do see how he could improve the economy. From that perspective, I think it’s good that he won.” He became eligible for Medi-Cal this year but decided not to enroll, worrying it could jeopardize his chances of changing his immigration status. “I’ve thought about it,” Selvin said, but “I feel like it could end up hurting me. I won’t deny that, obviously, I’d like to benefit — get my teeth fixed, a physical checkup.” But fear holds him back, he said, and he hasn’t seen a doctor in nine years. It’s not Trump’s mass deportation plan in particular that’s scaring him off, though. “If I’m not committing any crimes or getting a DUI, I think I won’t get deported,” Selvin said. Petrona, 55, came from El Salvador seeking asylum and enrolled in Medi-Cal last year. She said that if her health insurance benefits were cut, she wouldn’t be able to afford her visits to the dentist. A street food vendor, she hears often about Trump’s deportation plan, but she said it will be the criminals the new president pushes out. “I’ve heard people say he’s going to get rid of everyone who’s stealing.” Although she’s afraid she could be deported, she’s also hopeful about Trump. “He says he’s going to give a lot of work to Hispanics because Latinos are the ones who work the hardest,” she said. “That’s good, more work for us, the ones who came here to work.” Newly elected Republican Assembly member Jeff Gonzalez, who flipped a seat long held by Democrats in the Latino-heavy desert region in the southeastern part of the state, said his constituents were anxious to see a new economic direction. “They’re just really kind of fed up with the status quo in California,” Gonzalez said. “People on the ground are saying, ‘I’m hopeful,’ because now we have a different perspective. We have a businessperson who is looking at the very things that we are looking at, which is the price of eggs, the price of gas, the safety.” Gonzalez said he’s not going to comment about potential Medicaid cuts, because Trump has not made any official announcement. Unlike most in his party, Gonzalez said he supports the extension of health care services to . Health care providers said they are facing a twin challenge of hesitancy among those they are supposed to serve and the threat of major cuts to Medicaid, the federal program that provides over 60% of the funding for Medi-Cal. Health providers and policy researchers say a loss in federal contributions could lead the state to roll back or downsize some programs, including the expansion to cover those without legal authorization. California and Oregon are the only states that offer comprehensive health insurance to all income-eligible immigrants regardless of status. About 1.5 million people without authorization have enrolled in California, at a cost of over $6 billion a year to state taxpayers. “Everyone wants to put these types of services on the chopping block, which is really unfair,” said state Sen. Lena Gonzalez, a Democrat and chair of the California Latino Legislative Caucus. “We will do everything we can to ensure that we prioritize this.” Sen. Gonzalez said it will be challenging to expand programs such as Covered California, the state’s health insurance marketplace, for which immigrants lacking permanent legal status are not eligible. A big concern for immigrants and their advocates is that Trump could reinstate changes to the which can deny green cards or visas based on the use of government benefits. “President Trump’s mass deportation plan will end the financial drain posed by illegal immigrants on our healthcare system, and ensure that our country can care for American citizens who rely on Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security,” Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to KFF Health News. During his first term, in 2019, Trump broadened the policy to include the use of Medicaid, as well as housing and nutrition subsidies. The Biden administration rescinded the change in 2021. KFF, a health information nonprofit that includes KFF Health News, found than people born in the United States. And about 1 in 4 likely undocumented immigrant adults said they have avoided applying for assistance with health care, food, and housing because of immigration-related fears, according to a . Another uncertainty is the fate of the Affordable Care Act, which was opened in November to immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children and are protected by the Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals program. If DACA eligibility for the act’s plans, or even the act itself, were to be reversed under Trump, that would leave roughly 40,000 California DACA recipients, and about , without access to subsidized health insurance. On Dec. 9, a federal court in North Dakota issued blocking DACA recipients from accessing Affordable Care Act health plans in that had challenged the Biden administration’s rule. Clinics and community health workers are encouraging people to continue enrolling in health benefits. But amid the push to spread the message, the chilling effects are already apparent up and down the state. community health worker Yanet Martinez said, asking residents whether they had Medi-Cal as she walked down Pico Boulevard recently in a Los Angeles neighborhood with many Salvadorans. she shouted, offering help to sign up, free of charge. said one young woman, responding with a no thanks. She shrugged her shoulders and averted her eyes under a cap that covered her from the late-morning sun. Since Election Day, Martinez said, people have been more reluctant to hear her pitch for subsidized health insurance or cancer prevention screenings. “They think I’m going to share their information to deport them,” she said. “They don’t want anything to do with it.”Trump's 2024 Campaign & Elon Musk's Success: Digital Marketing Parallels by FlyX Marketing Founder Albert Valiakhmetov 11-22-2024 11:36 PM CET | Associations & Organizations Press release from: Getnews / PR Agency: US China Brand, LLC Modern Political Campaigns Showcase Revolutionary Marketing Strategies for Business Growth - Commenting Albert Valiakhmetov, Founder of FlyX Marketing Image: https://www.getnews.info/uploads/cfe5dd7a2b8fcf59abb8066f97654df9.jpg In today's digital landscape, where competition is fierce and attention spans are limited, figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump demonstrate how strategic marketing-whether for a product or a presidential campaign-can redefine engagement.

From Hope To Frustration: The Urgent Need For Reform In JKPSC Civil Services Examination Need to address inefficiencies and accountability issues to empower candidates and strengthen public administration in Jammu and Kashmir The Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC) Civil Services Examination (CSE) is a beacon of hope for thousands of aspirants seeking to contribute to public administration. However, its disorganized functioning and lack of accountability have plunged countless candidates into despair, costing them valuable time, opportunities, and a fair shot at realizing their dreams. Compared to the disciplined and transparent framework of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), JKPSC’s inefficiencies and repeated failures to meet expectations highlight a pressing need for systemic reforms. A Stark Contrast: UPSC vs. JKPSC The UPSC, the benchmark in competitive examinations in India, maintains a defined model by publishing the calendar for the year in advance and following a strict schedule. Such predictability enables candidates to be specific with respect to the timelines of their preparation phases, thereby ensuring they are able to coordinate the demands of both prelims and mains effectively. Conversely, the inconsistent timetable of the JKPSC has been a major source of agony for prospective students. For instance, the JKPSC CSE Prelims 2023, which took place on October 23, overlapped with the critical mains preparation phase for UPSC candidates. Those preparing for UPSC CSE in May or June lost precious time, forced to divert their focus to JKPSC’s prelims. This disarray did not end there. The JKPSC mains, which ran from March to April 2024, left aspirants exhausted and provided minimal time to prepare for the UPSC CSE Prelims 2024—an undeniably competitive exam. Give Preference to JKPSC over UPSC or Vice Versa Many candidates have been left disheartened, with some missing the UPSC prelims entirely or failing to qualify due to inadequate preparation time. The lack of synchronization and foresight in JKPSC’s scheduling has effectively cost aspirants not just a year but also a precious attempt in a career-defining examination. An Alarming Trend in Question Setting The second glaring issue lies in the quality and relevance of questions asked in JKPSC’s CSE. Prelims questions are often nonspecific and irrelevant, providing little value to candidates who have studied the static portions of the syllabus for months. Although this problem is not unique to JKPSC, it is particularly evident here, highlighting a lack of consistency in formulating examination papers. A Closer Look at JKPSC Mains 2023 The weightage of subjects across General Studies papers displayed a troubling lack of balance and coherence: – GS 1: Despite society being a critical part of the syllabus, no questions were asked from this section, undermining its importance and the preparation efforts of candidates. – GS 2: A disproportionate 120 marks out of 250 were allocated to International Relations, heavily favouring students with Political Science and International Relations (PSIR) backgrounds, while polity and governance—core sections with a vast syllabus—were limited to just 100 marks. – GS 3: Internal Security, a vital and expansive topic, received scant attention, despite its significance in the context of Jammu and Kashmir’s unique geopolitical challenges. These discrepancies indicate a lack of responsibility and a fragmented approach to paper-setting. Not only does this reflect bias, but it also damages aspirants’ confidence in the examination process and the system it represents. The Cost of Negligence The ripple effects of JKPSC’s inefficiencies are profound. Candidates devote years of their personal and professional time to preparing for competitive exams. However, the commission’s failure to adhere to schedules and design fair, impartial question papers has created cynicism among aspirants. The uncertainty leaves candidates in a constant state of flux, making it extremely difficult to plan strategically. Furthermore, the commission’s inability to hold exams on schedule disrupts recruitment cycles, depriving the administration of much-needed personnel. In a region like Jammu and Kashmir, where efficient governance is critical, such ineptitude exacerbates existing challenges. The Way Forward To rebuild credibility and establish a fair, meritocratic system, the JKPSC should pursue progressive reforms: – Strict Adherence to Timelines: JKPSC should not only issue an annual calendar well in advance but also strictly follow it. This will allow aspirants to plan their preparation effectively. – Transparent and Balanced Question Papers: Paper-setters should ensure that questions pertain to the prescribed syllabus and that all sections have equitable weighting. Independent review committees could help achieve this. – Aspirant-Centric Approach: The commission should actively interact with aspirants, considering their feedback and experiences. Regular revisions, open dialogue, and workshops with subject-matter experts can bridge the gap between the commission and candidates. – Capacity Building: Investing in better technology, training for officials, and an overhaul of administrative processes can enhance JKPSC’s efficiency and transparency. – Broader Consultative Role: The advisory role of UPSC should be expanded to include governance and administrative reforms related to JKPSC. Conclusion The JKPSC CSE is not just another test; it is a gateway for young talent to contribute to the development and administration of the region. Unfortunately, the commission’s current approach has eroded its credibility and squandered its potential over the past five years. It is high time for JKPSC to rise to the occasion, prioritize accountability, and align its processes with national standards. Aspirants deserve a system that respects their time, effort, and aspirations—not one that repeatedly lets them down. The future of Jammu and Kashmir depends on the talent and dedication of its youth. The onus lies on JKPSC to ensure that this talent is nurtured, not wasted. The time for reform is now.
