U.S. appreciates DRC president peace talks with M23lodigame official login 。

New Delhi, Dec 28 (IANS): Karnataka Congress President and Deputy Chief Minister, D.K. Shivakumar stated on Saturday that the Centre is wrong in its approach to the demand for a memorial for late former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Dy CM Shivakumar made the statement while speaking to reporters in New Delhi and answering a question in this regard. “The central government has erred in terms of its approach towards building a memorial for late former PM Manmohan Singh. They should give consent for the memorial,” he said. “Our AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge was right in demanding it. They should have shown large heartedness. We make an appeal to the central government to show large heartedness at least now. As late Dr Manmohan Singh stated, the Opposition and history are going to remember him kindly,” Dy CM Shivakumar underlined. Dy CM Shivakumar further stated that Dr Manmohan Singh left a great legacy and during his tenure, he gave protection of the Constitution and law to the common man. “No one thought about the Forest Land Act, the Food Security Act, the Employment guarantee schemes. In the education sector, in terms of bringing transparency, economics, removal of licence raj, empowering Asha workers to reach the doors of mothers and protect their health. He ensured security under the Constitution,” Shivakumar stated. “We have lost such a leader. He was 92-years-old and he is going to live on through his programmes. We can never forget how he kept our economy safe and robust in challenging times,” Shivakumar pointed out. “Former President late APJ Abdul Kalam wrote a letter to Sonia Gandhi to assume power as the Prime Minister. Sonia Gandhi rejected the offer and she stated that this country needs to be saved and an economist should be given an opportunity. The credit for the sacrifice goes to the Gandhi family,” Dy CM Shivakumar stressed. “Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi could have also become the PM or a central minister. He did not choose to become one. Dr Singh was given a free hand to lead the country. The Opposition parties have also agreed on the contributions of Manmohan Singh in laying a strong foundation for the Indian economy,” he stated. Minister for Social Welfare H.C. Mahadevappa stated, “Manmohan Singh was raised from utmost poverty. He didn’t have food to eat and studied under the street lights and rose to be one of the finest economists in the world. He is a great inspiration for all Indians.”Kimberley hosts U18 BC Curling ChampionshipsThe Gophers football program continued to address its needs along the offensive line on Saturday, getting commitments from Washington left tackle Kahlee Tafai and Kentucky left guard Dylan Ray out of the NCAA transfer portal. ADVERTISEMENT The U has four starters leaving after this season, including both tackles — Aireontae Ersery to the NFL Draft and Phillip Daniels in a transfer to Ohio State — and both senior guards Quinn Carroll and Tyler Cooper. The Gophers have added 13 total players through the transfer portal, including right guard Marcellus Marshall (Central Florida). Tafai, who is listed at 6-foot-5 and 330 pounds, moved into the Huskies’ starting lineup during his freshman season in 2024. He has three years of eligibility remaining. A native of Lawndale, Calif., Tafai played 267 offensive snaps in the Big Ten last season but had a low 38.5 overall grade from Pro Football Focus in his first extensive college experience. He also played a few snaps at right tackle a year ago. ADVERTISEMENT Ray, who is listed at 6-6 and 310, has played more than 1,000 snaps over the last two seasons for Kentucky after beginning his career with two years at West Virginia. He started 10 games for the SEC program in 2023, but only two last year. The Noblesville, Ind., native had a near-average grade of 57.5 from PFF in 2024.

Samsung ordered to pay US$118-million for infringing Netlist patents‘Hot Ones’ Turned Down Kamala Harris Interview Offer

Colorado's Travis Hunter to enter draft, vows to be full-time CB and WR in NFLOn Thursday, millions of families will sit down for a dinner that, in general, centers around turkey . And in a sizable portion of those homes, Butterball will be the turkey they devour. But with just days remaining until Thanksgiving feasts, the poultry producer has found itself in the middle of a PR crisis from almost two decades ago when the company was under a previous owner. On Friday, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ( PETA ) posted to its Instagram account a graphic Butterball turkey video it shot in 2006, which has since gone viral on social media and stirred up a maelstrom of protests. The footage shows then-employees of the company abusing live turkeys at a plant in Ozark, Arkansas. Butterball, in a statement, acknowledged the video, and said it did not reflect current conditions at its facilities. “This video is not current and was taken prior to Butterball becoming a private company and prior to our engagement and certification through American Humane,” said a Butterball spokesperson. “Animal care and well-being is central to who we are as a company, and we are committed to the ethical and responsible care of our flocks.” | In 2013, Butterball became the first (and is still the only) turkey company to be American Humane-certified, the company said. It undergoes yearly third-party audits to verify it follows best practices in caring for the turkeys. “We are proud of this designation that no other turkey company can claim and have a zero-tolerance policy for animal mistreatment,” the company said. A company spokesperson was unable to recall how the company responded to the allegations when the Butterball turkey video first surfaced in 2006, as Butterball was then owned by ConAgra, and the company does not have access to any statements issued at that time. Timing-wise, the rerelease of this video couldn’t have been worse for Butterball (or better for PETA). This is peak turkey-selling season, but as the video has spread, many people have called for a boycott, while others say they are returning the turkeys they’ve bought to stores. Despite rumors on social media, however, there are no active recalls for any Butterball products. PETA’s investigation PETA, in 2006, sent a team undercover to work as “live hangers,” employees who receive live birds and shackle them for slaughter, at a ConAgra facility. While there, they surreptitiously filmed the abuses they saw. In an interview at the time , Matt Prescott, who served as head of corporate affairs at PETA and made headlines in 2008 when he purchased a plot in the cemetery where Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Col. Harland Sanders is buried and erected a gravestone reading “KFC Tortures Birds,” said the group’s investigation “resulted in countless emails and phone calls from people interested in becoming vegetarian.” PETA is often active around Thanksgiving, holding rallies and encouraging people to opt for vegan options over turkey. In 2022, it accused workers at another food processing company of abusing the birds, providing video to state law enforcement officials in Pennsylvania. There is no indication that either of the videos have resulted in any legal action against the companies involved. The application deadline for Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas Awards is Friday, December 6, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.

The Kimberley Curling Club (KCC) hosted the 2025 Safetek Profire BC U18 Curling Championships from Dec. 19 to 23. "We were thrilled with how everything went," said KCC general manager Blair Jarvis. "We knew that most teams were travelling a long way to get here and unfortunately they had to deal with some adventures with the snow we had last Wednesday. "We wanted to make sure that we gave them an experience that they would remember, so we spent a lot of time on the ice, we wanted to give them a great social experience off the ice as well and we heard from a number of curlers that it was the most U18 event that they’ve attended and so we’re really proud of that fact." The event had 12 teams competing on the Boys' side and seven Girls teams. On the Boys side of the competition, Team Jaeger out of Kelowna beat out Team Hrynew in the finals and for the Girls, Team Arndt from Vernon beat out Team Rempel to win the gold. With these wins, Team Jaeger has earned a spot at the Canadian Under-18 Curling Championships, which will be held at the Nutana Curling Club in Saskatoon, Sask. from Feb. 16-22, 2025. Teams Arndt and Rempel will both be headed to the Nationals. Team Jaeger was made up of coaches Tyler Jaeger and Travis Wielgosz, Lead Brendan Hruschak, Second Noel Wielgosz, Third Spencer Rempel and Skip Owen Jaeger. "We really worked hard this year, this year we really wanted to win," said Skip Owen Jaeger. "We put in a lot of work and it just feels really, really good to win and for all that hard work to pay off. We’re really, really excited, it’s our first National event, first U18 provincial win so we’re really excited." Team Arndt is Coach David Arndt, Lead Alicia Evans, Second Ivy Jensen, Third Bethany Evans and Skip Ava Arndt. "We’re just super excited," said Skip Ava Arndt. "It took us a couple years to get here, but the hard work payed off and we can’t believe it, I don’t think it’s sunk in yet. It’s been a lot of hard work from us and the coaches and the parents. It’s been amazing." Jarvis coached Kimberley's Team Reynolds, who went on to win bronze. "We had set a target of making the playoffs and really happy with how the boys came together," Jarvis said. "They had a couple of games with a tough start and battled back and so the resilience they showed and how they stayed positive, there were a lot of great things we can take away from that. And the bronze medal, we were just thrilled to do that. "We saw Team Jaeger on the boys side and Team Arndt on the girls side as well — if we want to get to that level next year, we have some things to work on and it’s great to see the high level of curling in this province and so I think we’ve come away very motivated as well about what we need to do to get better if we want to be a little higher on the podium next year." Jarvis extended his gratitude to the over 50 volunteers who helped out before, during and after the event, including members of the Cranbrook Curling Club. "We’ll take some of the learnings from this event and apply them to the High School Provincials at the end of February, but we’re really happy with how everything went," he said. "And this is an event for the kids, we want to make sure that they’re going to have an experience that they’ll remember, the teams that had success will obviously remember the things that happened on the ice, but for most kids it will be the experiences they had off the ice. "We had karaoke here on the one night and a bunch of teams were intermingling together and having a great time and those are the experiences that I’m going to take away from this event." Patti Caldwell was head official for the event and Jarvis said she and Ian Milligan worked tirelessly throughout the week. "Patti’s attitude is this is all for the kids and making sure that they have fun and sure it’s a competition, but it’s meant to be fun and we’re going to enjoy this," Jarvis said. "This is a sport that we can enjoy for life and so you want to make sure you’re building positive memories in every aspect." Lindsay Shannon, administrative and event manager at Curl BC, was also on hand for the event, and presented all the awards. "We would just like to thank the Kimberley Curling Club and the City of Kimberley who put on an amazing event here and welcomed all of our athletes who have performed so well," Shannon said. "We're really looking forward to cheering our winners on at the Nationals." The Kimberley Curling Club's next big event is the High School Provincials from Feb. 26 to March 1.By CLAIRE RUSH President-elect Donald Trump has once again suggested he wants to revert the name of North America’s tallest mountain — Alaska’s Denali — to Mount McKinley, wading into a sensitive and decades-old conflict about what the peak should be called.

For the agents removing immigrants, it’s a painstaking process Former President Barack Obama changed the official name to Denali in 2015 to reflect the traditions of Alaska Natives as well as the preference of many Alaska residents. The federal government in recent years has endeavored to change place-names considered disrespectful to Native people. “Denali” is an Athabascan word meaning “the high one” or “the great one.” A prospector in 1896 dubbed the peak “Mount McKinley” after President William McKinley, who had never been to Alaska. That name was formally recognized by the U.S. government until Obama changed it over opposition from lawmakers in McKinley’s home state of Ohio. Trump suggested in 2016 that he might undo Obama’s action, but he dropped that notion after Alaska’s senators objected. He raised it again during a rally in Phoenix on Sunday. “McKinley was a very good, maybe a great president,” Trump said Sunday. “They took his name off Mount McKinley, right? That’s what they do to people.” Once again, Trump’s suggestion drew quick opposition within Alaska. “Uh. Nope. It’s Denali,” Democratic state Sen. Scott Kawasaki posted on the social platform X Sunday night. Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski , who for years pushed for legislation to change the name to Denali, conveyed a similar sentiment in a post of her own. “There is only one name worthy of North America’s tallest mountain: Denali — the Great One,” Murkowski wrote on X. Various tribes of Athabascan people have lived in the shadow of the 20,310-foot (6,190-meter) mountain for thousands of years. McKinley, a Republican native of Ohio who served as the 25th president, was assassinated early in his second term in 1901 in Buffalo, New York. Alaska and Ohio have been at odds over the name since at least the 1970s. Alaska had a standing request to change the name since 1975, when the legislature passed a resolution and then-Gov. Jay Hammond appealed to the federal government. Known for its majestic views, the mountain is dotted with glaciers and covered at the top with snow year-round, with powerful winds that make it difficult for the adventurous few who seek to climb it. Rush reported from Portland, Oregon.Older siblings everywhere could appreciate John Harbaugh’s refusal to concede an inch against his younger brother Jim. Even when his Baltimore Ravens faced fourth down in the second quarter, John wasn’t giving up the ball without a fight. The Ravens converted that fourth down and two others on their way to over the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night, giving their coach a third victory in three matchups against his brother. It was the first time they’d faced off since Baltimore beat San Francisco — then coached by Jim Harbaugh — in the Super Bowl at the end of the 2012 season. “We grew up in the same room and have always lived our life side by side, but that’s not what the game is about,” John Harbaugh said. “The game really is about the players, and the players are always going to win the game or lose the game or whatever.” On this night, it was Baltimore’s players who shined. Specifically Derrick Henry, who rushed for 140 yards. Lamar Jackson threw a couple of touchdown passes, and the defense was solid, allowing touchdowns on the first and last Los Angeles drives but not much in between. “I’m proud of our guys,” John Harbaugh said. “I’m proud of the way they came out and responded after the first 10 points — we were down 10-0, and our guys stepped up.” After converting fourth-and-1 at their 16 late in the second quarter, the Ravens scored on a 40-yard pass from Jackson to Rashod Bateman, taking the lead for good at 14-10. Baltimore’s other two fourth-and-1 conversions came on a 14-play touchdown drive that spanned the end of the third quarter and start of the fourth. “We’re just confident that we’ll end up converting on those fourth downs, and we did a great job blocking,” said Henry, who converted the last two of the fourth downs. “All we had to do was make a play, and we did.” What’s working The Ravens got back to their identity a bit, rushing for 212 yards. And it wasn’t just Henry and Jackson contributing. Justice Hill broke free for a 51-yard touchdown that made it 30-16 in the fourth. “Nobody wants to stand in front of (Derrick Henry) every single play, every single run,” Hill said. “You can do it one time, two times, three times, but when you have to do it 20 to 25 times, it starts to wear down. I’m glad we stuck with the run game this game, and it played out for us.” What needs help There were still too many penalties, with the Ravens flagged nine times for 102 yards. Baltimore played a pretty clean game until the fourth quarter, so several of those flags came after the Ravens had the game reasonably under control, but this is still an area of concern. Stock up With star linebacker Roquan Smith out because of a hamstring injury, Malik Harrison led the Ravens with a dozen tackles. “It’s a lot of people that doubted me coming into this game, so I’m happy I was able to ball out and show them that I can be in this league, and I can play at a high level,” Harrison said. Stock down There was a time when Isaiah Likely seemed as if he might be supplanting Mark Andrews as Baltimore’s top tight end threat, but Likely went without a catch Monday. He did, however, recover the onside kick that effectively ended the game. Injuries Although Smith was out, DT Travis Jones (ankle) and C Tyler Linderbaum (back) were able to start. Key number Jackson has now thrown 22 touchdown passes with no interceptions on Monday nights, with a passer rating of 124.3. Next steps The Ravens have one more game before their open date, and it’s a showdown this weekend against a Philadelphia team that has won seven in a row. Saquon Barkley (1,392) of the Eagles and Henry (1,325) have both surpassed 1,300 yards rushing already. Nobody else in the NFL has more than 1,000. ___ AP NFL:

Trump picks successful Fla. physician for BA Embassy

Ranked-choice voting continues to work in Alaska. It would everywhere else, too.Now more than two weeks out for his ankle injury, Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Alex Highsmith said he’s “feeling much better” and did not rule out a return to game action at the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. During his weekly news conference Tuesday, coach Mike Tomlin said Highsmith was “leaning in on a return.” “We’ll let his participation and the quality of that participation be our guide in terms of whether he gets back in or what degree he gets back in,” Tomlin said. Highsmith suffered a sprain to the “lower” part of his left ankle late during the Nov. 10 win at the Washington Commanders. He has missed two games and not practiced since . The Steelers held a light practice Tuesday. Highsmith did not confirm he participated, but he did say he felt better “running around” Tuesday than he did last week before the Steelers’ mini-bye. “I really have been attacking rehab every single day,” Highsmith said. “I’ve been here doing extra, doing as much as I can just trying to get back Less than a week prior to Highsmith’s injury, the Steelers acquired veteran edge defender Preston Smith. Nick Herbig made a return from a hamstring injury in the interim, and those two have filled Highsmith’s shoes opposite star T.J. Watt on the edge of the Steelers defense. “Progressing every day, that’s my goal,” Highsmith said. “I am aiming to try to get back out there. I’ve got to be confident that I can play on (the ankle).” Trice, Adams on way back? A pair of defensive players who remain on the injured reserve list are respectively “working their way back to us,” Tomlin said. Cornerback Cory Trice is coming up on two weeks since he returned to practice since he suffered a hamstring injury in September. Defensive tackle Montravius Adams has been on IR since Oct. 22 because of a knee injury, and Tomlin hinted that Adams could be cleared to practice this week. “We’ll leave the door open for those guys,” Tomlin said. Once a player on IR returns to practice he has a 21-day window in which his team must activate him if he is to return to game action this season.

Amgen Dives 5% Despite 'Truly Remarkable' Results For Obesity Treatment

SANTIAGO (AP) — La fiscalía de Chile confirmó el martes la existencia de una investigación contra el presidente Gabriel Boric por una denuncia de acoso sexual, relacionada a su vez con un caso en el que el mandatario dice ser víctima del acoso sistemático de una mujer hace más de una década a través de correos electrónicos. Fue un abogado de Boric el que primero hizo referencia al asunto públicamente, en un comunicado en el que expuso que el mandatario, de 38 años, fue “víctima de un acoso sistemático vía correo electrónico” de una mujer, quien habría enviado decenas de correos que incluían, además de mensajes personales, varias “imágenes de carácter explícito no solicitadas ni consentidas”. Boric no denunció formalmente los hechos, que habrían ocurrido entre julio de 2013 y julio de 2014 cuando el mandatario realizaba sus prácticas profesionales en la sureña ciudad de Punta Arenas, cerca de la Patagonia chilena, y ya era una figura conocida en la política nacional gracias a su rol en las protestas estudiantiles de dos años antes. La fiscalía regional de Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena reaccionó el martes al comunicado del abogado Jonatan Valenzuela Saldías, que representa a Boric, confirmando que hay una investigación preliminar contra él por la denuncia presentada por una mujer por acoso sexual. Añadió que hasta ahora no se ha producido una acusación formal ni se han formulado cargos en contra de ninguna de las partes, por lo que las pesquisas se desarrollan en carácter reservado. Según la versión de la defensa de Boric, es la mujer que acosaba por correo a Boric la misma que lo denuncia por acoso sexual. “Diez años después, la remitente de los correos presentó una denuncia sin fundamento alguno contra el ya presidente Gabriel Boric el 6 de septiembre de 2024”, indicó el abogado, quien aseguró que el mandatario "jamás tuvo una relación afectiva ni de amistad" y ambos “no han tenido comunicación desde julio de 2014”. La denuncia presentada por la mujer se refiere a la filtración y difusión de imágenes privadas y un supuesto acoso sexual. El fiscal de Magallanes confirmó que su despacho investiga a través de un equipo especializado una “causa penal vinculada al presidente Gabriel Boric” y que el caso cuenta con “diversas diligencias pendientes”. En declaraciones a los periodistas el martes, el abogado del jefe de Estado chileno enfatizó que están "seguros de que la verdad del caso quedará perfectamente establecida en la instancia correspondiente”. Boric “rechaza y desmiente categóricamente el contenido de esta denuncia”, agregó. Valenzuela Saldías informó además que, tras conocer la denuncia, su equipo entregó todos los correos y comunicación entre el mandatario y la mujer que, a su juicio, “permiten esclarecer perfectamente la calidad de víctima del presidente". "El presidente desde un primer momento ha estado a completa disposición del esclarecimiento más absoluto de estos hechos”, acotó. De acuerdo con documentos filtrados por la prensa local, los correos indican que las conversaciones entre Boric y la denunciante iniciaron de forma cordial hasta que la mujer empezó a compartir informaciones privadas y sentimentales para finalmente decirse enamorada y enviar imágenes y textos explícitos, a lo que el ahora mandatario contestó con signos de interrogación hasta que dejó de responder por completo. La vocera del gobierno, Camila Vallejos, detalló en una rueda de prensa que la denunciante habría enviado un total de 25 correos electrónicos desde diferentes cuentas “en una clara dinámica de hostigamiento” y calificó la denuncia como ”falsa” y “sin fundamentos”. “Es recurrente que personas expuestas públicamente tengan tipos de acoso mediante redes sociales, correo electrónico o de otra índole. No todas siempre se denuncian pero son recurrentes”, expresó. La vocera enfatizó que, hasta el momento, Boric no ha sido notificado, citado ni requerido respecto a esta denuncia, de la que tomó conocimiento gracias a las revisiones que se hacen periódicamente por sistema desde el Palacio de La Moneda. “Obviamente nos interesa que la justicia haga su trabajo y pueda esclarecer los hechos lo antes posible”, remarcó.

Simone Biles ends a year of glory with an unexpected achievement that will surprise everyoneAmid intensifying competition and regulatory headwinds, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has highlighted the significance of 2025 for the tech giant. Speaking at a strategy meeting, Pichai stressed the need for speed and focus in harnessing technological advancements, especially in artificial intelligence (AI) , audio obtained by CNBC revealed. "I think it's really important we internalize the urgency of this moment, and need to move faster as a company. The stakes are high. These are disruptive moments," he said. Pichai acknowledges global scrutiny and internal challenges Pichai admitted the intense pressure Google has been under in the last year, from growing competition in core markets, internal cultural clashes, and skepticism over his future vision for the company. He also acknowledged the increased regulatory scrutiny Google is facing around the world. "It's not lost on me that we are facing scrutiny across the world. It comes with our size and success. So .... we have to make sure we don't get distracted," Pichai said during the meeting. Regulatory troubles for the tech giant In August, a federal judge ruled that Google unlawfully maintains a monopoly in the search market. By November, the Justice Department had called for Google to divest its Chrome internet browser unit. In another case, the DOJ accused Google of illegally monopolizing online ad technology. That trial concluded in September and is awaiting a ruling. Meanwhile, in September, UK's competition watchdog issued a statement of objections against Google's ad tech practices, provisionally finding them harmful to competition in the region. Google's AI model Gemini to counter new competitors Despite dominating the search business, Google is now facing new challenges from generative AI technologies that provide innovative ways to access information online. These advancements have brought new competitors like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Perplexity into the mix. To stay ahead, Google is heavily investing in its own AI model, Gemini . Pichai identified "building big, new business" as a top priority for the company. Pichai projects Gemini app as Google's next big hit Pichai sounded optimistic about the Gemini app, which he thinks could be Google's next product to hit half a billion users. "With the Gemini app, there is strong momentum, particularly over the last few months," Pichai said. "But we have some work to do in 2025 to close the gap and establish a leadership position there as well." He later added scaling Gemini on the consumer side will be their biggest focus next year.
