jiliko voucher code philippines Cal staves off Sacramento State for third straight winLANDOVER, Md. (AP) — The ball bounced through KaVonte Turpin's legs and stopped at the 1-yard line. He picked it up, made a spin move and was off to the races. Turpin's 99-yard kickoff return touchdown was the highlight of the Dallas Cowboys' 34-26 win at Washington on Sunday that ended their losing streak at five. That came with just under three minutes left, and then Juanyeh Thomas returned an onside kick for a TD to provide a little happiness in the middle of a lost season. "Feels good to win," coach Mike McCarthy said. “It’s been a minute.” Chauncey Golston ripping the ball out of Brian Robinson Jr.'s hands for what counted as an interception of Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and Donovan Wilson forcing a fumble of John Bates earlier in the game helped put the Cowboys in position to make it a game, as did the play of Cooper Rush. Turpin's monster return after initially muffing the retrieval had everyone buzzing. "He did that for timing," McCarthy said. “That was part of the plan. He’s a special young man. Obviously a huge play for us.” Commanders safety Jeremy Reaves, the All-Pro special teams selection two seasons ago, was the first one down the field and blamed himself for not tackling Turpin when he had the chance. “I’ve made that play 100 times,” Reaves said. “I didn’t make it today, and it cost us the game.” Turpin's spin move will likely be replayed over and over — and not stopped by many. Receiver CeeDee Lamb called it “his escape move” because Turpin has been showing it off in practice. “I know I can just get them going one way and then spin back the other way,” Turpin said. "That’s just one of my moves when I’m in trouble and I've got nowhere to go: something nobody ever seen before.” In a wacky finish that McCarthy likened to a game of Yahtzee, Thomas' return was almost as unexpected. It came with 14 seconds left after Washington kicker Austin Seibert missed the extra point following Daniels' 86-yard touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin to leave Dallas up 27-26. “I kind of waited a second and I was like: ‘Should I try? Should I try?’” Thomas said. “I said, ‘I think I’m gonna score the ball,’ so just ran and I scored.” The Cowboys' playoff odds are still incredibly long at 4-7, but with the New York Giants coming to town next for the traditional Thanksgiving Day game at Dallas, players are willing to dream after winning for the first time since Oct. 6. “Lot of games left,” said Rush, who threw two TD passes. “Pretty insane. ... I think both sides of the ball and special teams picked each other up all game. I think it was a full team effort. Finally picking each other up like we’re supposed to.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflPakistan's Information Minister Attaullah Tarar on Saturday said that the man seen in a viral video falling from a container during a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protest in Islamabad is "completely fine." Speaking to the media, Tarar said that the man sustained minor injuries in the incident, as reported by Dawn. The viral video, shot during a protest at Islamabad's D-Chowk, shows men, dressed as security personnel with riot gear, pushing a man off a stack of three shipping containers. The PTI supporters were demanding the release of their leader and party chief, Imran Khan. The protests turned violent on November 26, and PTI supporters were met with intense tear gas shelling by security forces. According to Dawn, a photographer captured a picture showing a man hanging off the edge of a container while men in uniform stood above him. A video of the incident also went viral, sparking various claims on social media, with some posts alleging that the man had died.

He is a resident of Mandi Bahauddin and is completely fine. His video has emerged; he sustained an arm injury and has bandages." Tarar further claimed that the man was recording a TikTok video as part of a challenge with a friend and was not offering prayers at the time, as reported by Dawn. Earlier, Awami National Party (ANP) President Aimal Wali Khan called for a ban on political parties that incite violence, including PTI, Dawn reported. Speaking at a press conference alongside Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi at the ANP central secretariat in Wali Bagh on Friday, Khan said that PTI has been working in an undemocratic and nonpolitical manner since its formation and it has always encouraged people to behave in a violent manner. He labelled PTI as "waste that should be disposed of" and said that the state had imposed PTI on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for the past 12 years but such decisions did not give good results, as reported by Dawn report.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Gratifying as it was for Sean McDermott to catch up with his family and get some rest during Buffalo’s bye week, the Bills coach on Wednesday found comfort returning to his weekly routine and familiar wardrobe — a gray T-shirt and sweatpants. “When I’m not wearing those, I go to my closet and I don’t know what to wear. I’m kind of like not myself,” he said before pulling up his hoodie for emphasis to reveal the gray shirt he had on underneath. “So I was telling some of the guys this morning, ‘It’s good to be back.’” Though there remain challenges ahead, these are upbeat times in Buffalo . The Bills (9-2) are off to their best start since 1992. They remain in contention for the AFC’s top seed by entering their break following a 30-21 win over Kansas City (10-1). And Buffalo is in position to clinch its fifth straight AFC East title as early as Sunday. To do so, the Bills would need Miami to lose to Green Bay on Thursday night, and Buffalo to win its game over San Francisco (5-6) on Sunday night. Buffalo has won six straight since back-to-back losses at Baltimore and Houston, and scored 30 or more points in each of its past five outings. Refreshed as McDermott sounded and appeared, it didn’t take long for him to revert to his game-at-a-time script when assessing what’s on the line this weekend. “We’re mostly focused on our level of play this week against a good football team,” he said. McDermott shed little light on the status of Buffalo’s lengthy list of injured players. There’s no timetable yet on Matt Milano being activated off injured reserve, even though the starting linebacker practiced fully for the first time since tearing his left biceps during a training camp practice in mid-August. Milano has actually missed nearly 14 months since sustaining a season-ending injury to his right leg in Week 5 last season. Milano revealed little during a brief interview following practice. “I feel all right. Getting back into it with the team,” said Milano, who no longer wore a red non-contact jersey in practice. Meantime, rookie receiver Keon Coleman, who has missed two games with a right wrist injury, and starting right tackle Spencer Brown, who missed one game with an ankle injury, were limited in practice. Tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was Buffalo's only player not practicing. The Bills also opened the three-week window for backup rookie defensive tackle DeWayne Carter (wrist) and backup offensive lineman Tylan Grable (groin) to return. McDermott has another positive going for him revolving around the bye week. The Bills are 8-0 coming out of their break since McDermott took over as coach in 2017. “I don’t really have the, hey, this is exactly what we do formula,” McDermott said on whether he’s changed his bye week approach. “It’s more of us really just getting back to what we do, getting back to basics.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflPress Taylor had a three word response to playing the Texans on SundayNo. 5 UCLA stuns No. South Carolina, ends 43-game streak

Treaty Principles Bill: ‘I have never seen a bill more damaging to our race relations’ – former Race Relations Commissioner Joris de BresForeign governments, including Russia, Iran, China and Israel, have responded to the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday. On Saturday evening and Sunday morning, Syrian rebels streamed into their country's capital of Damascus as the 24-year-old regime of President Assad reportedly collapsed with Reuters reporting that Assad had fled the city. The head of Syria's main opposition group abroad, Hadi al-Bahra, declared that Damascus is now "without Bashar al-Assad." The government evacuated the Damascus airport and halted all flights, according to pro-government radio station Sham FM. In response, several foreign countries are addressing the recent developments and are reaffirming the safety of their citizens in Syria. In a statement on Sunday the foreign ministry of Russia, a key Assad ally, said it was "closely following the dramatic events in Syria" and urged everyone "to refrain from using violence and resolve all issues through political means." It commented: "As a result of negotiations between B. Assad and a number of participants in the armed conflict on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic, he decided to resign from the presidency and left the country, giving instructions for a peaceful transfer of power. Russia did not participate in these negotiations." In addition, according to the Moscow Times, Senator Konstantin Kosachev said the main priority for Moscow is "to ensure the safety" of Russian citizens in Syria. "For us, as Russians, the primary task is to ensure the safety of our compatriots and civilians, including diplomats and their families,"Kosachev said. Later on Sunday, the Associated Press reported via Russian media that Assad fled to Moscow on Sunday. The Russian agencies, Tass and RIA, cited an unidentified Kremlin source on Assad and his family being given asylum in Moscow, his longtime ally and protector. The Associated Press was not immediately able to verify the reports. Meanwhile, Iran has also responded, in a statement released on Sunday the Iranian Foreign Ministry reaffirmed Iran's policy to respect the unity, national sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria, according to Tasnim, adding that only Syrians can decide the future of their country. In addition, Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, announced on Sunday that they are ensuring the safety and security of the Iranian embassy staffers in Damascus, Tasnim reported. China's foreign ministry said in a statement it "is closely following the development of the situation in Syria and hopes that Syria returns to stability as soon as possible," according to Hong Kong Free Press. "The Chinese government has actively assisted Chinese citizens who are willing to leave Syria in a safe and orderly way and has maintained contact with... Chinese citizens who remain in Syria," the ministry said. It comes after China's ties to Syria have grown in recent years as Chinese President Xi Jinping and Assad announced a "strategic partnership" between their countries during Assad's trip to China in 2023. This is a historic day for the Middle East. The collapse of the Assad regime, the tyranny in Damascus, offers great opportunity but also is fraught with significant dangers.

According to an Israeli government press release, Netanyahu and his Defense Minister Yisrael Katz received a briefing from Major General Ori Gordin, who heads the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) northern command, on the latest developments in Syria as Netanyahu said it was "a historic day in the history of the Middle East." He added: "The Assad regime is a central link in Iran's axis of evil—this regime has fallen. This is a direct result of the blows we have inflicted on Iran and Hezbollah, the main supporters of the Assad regime. This has created a chain reaction throughout the Middle East of all those who want to be free from this oppressive and tyrannical regime." Newsweek has reached out to foreign ministries of Russia, Iran, China, and Israel via email for comment. Assad's fall came after his main backers, Russia, Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah, were either distracted or weakened by other conflicts. Since February 2022, Russia has been embroiled in a brutal war against Ukraine, while Hezbollah has suffered severely over the past few months in an Israeli campaign which killed the group's leader Hassan Nasrallah in September . Since the Syrian Civil War erupted in 2011, Israel has periodically carried out airstrikes targeting Iranian aligned militant groups and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in the country. Israeli jets have also repeatedly targeted what they claimed were arms shipments being moved through Syria to Hezbollah. Meanwhile, following the fall of Damascus, President elect- Donald Trump mentioned several of these countries as he called for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in a post on his Truth Social website. Trump said: "Assad is gone. He has fled his country. His protector, Russia, Russia, Russia, led by Vladimir Putin , was not interested in protecting him any longer. There was no reason for Russia to be there in the first place. They lost all interest in Syria because of Ukraine, where close to 600,000 Russian soldiers lay wounded or dead, in a war that should never have started, and could go on forever." "Russia and Iran are in a weakened state right now, one because of Ukraine and a bad economy, the other because of Israel and its fighting success. Likewise, Zelensky and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness. They have ridiculously lost 400,000 soldiers, and many more civilians." The president-elect concluded: "There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin. Too many lives are being so needlessly wasted, too many families destroyed, and if it keeps going, it can turn into something much bigger, and far worse. I know Vladimir well. This is his time to act. China can help. The World is waiting!" President Joe Biden spoke Sunday at the White House about Assad's fall. "After 13 years of civil war in Syria, more than half a century of brutal authoritarian rule by Bashar al-Assad and his father before him, rebel forces have forced Assad to resign his office, flee the country...At long last the Assad regime has fallen," Biden said.

The recent state visit to Nigeria by the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, sent me careering down to my kidhood days in faraway Kumasi, Ghana. My first experience with India was through their movies. Indian movies dominated the cinema space in the sprawling Ashanti City run by the Lebanese who built structures where movies were shown. Indian and American cowboy movies competed for my attention. For those who loved romantic songs, gyration and good-looking actors and actresses, Indian movies were unmissable. But cowboy movies were a different kettle of fish. No songs; no dancing. Only shooting and exchange of blows. When I wanted to feed my eyes with beauty, I turned to Indian films. Whereas, cowboy movies were laced with actions... never a dull moment from start to finish. At times, I found Indian songs rather soporific. This is not to say that Indian movies were not laced with actions. Their swordsmanship often fascinated me. Abu Raja was an accomplished swordsman and I never missed any of his movies. His fighting skills and the smiles on his face were uncommon. But the combative nature of Indian actors was nothing compared to the cowboy versions. There was this exceptionally pretty Indian actress named Shekira or something like that I fell madly in love with. A close buddy of mine who also had an eye for beauty also rooted for her. We dragged the matter for long until one evening when we decided to settle it boy to boy... once and for all. In the corridor of our compound, a fight broke out between us. As a more experienced movie goer, I swiftly went for his jugular, while grinding my teeth. His eyes popped out as I tightened my grip on his neck, expecting him to surrender Shekira to me. He did not. Instead, he used his number six by jabbing my mid-section with his tiny fingers to tickle me. I responded with an involuntary giggle as my hands flew off his neck. Freed from my killer grip, he took off like a cheetah and I went after him so fast you would think my feet were not touching the ground. He thought he had escaped as he disappeared into their apartment after shutting the door behind him. He was shocked to find me in the parlour as if I was there before him. I wrestled him to the ground, punctuating every punch with an order for him to surrender Shekira. Then, suddenly, I began to float in the midair. At first, I thought I was going on rapture! Not exactly. The boy’s dad had emerged from the inner room, grabbed me by the waistline with one hand and hurled me into the compound head first. I landed on the concrete floor with a thud. A motley crowd of tenants immediately gathered. When we were asked to explain what caused our beef, we simply panted away. How could we tell them we were fighting over an Indian lady who did not even know we ever existed. My best friend distanced himself from me for weeks. But one day, I approached him for reconciliation. He was shocked. After the fight, I read about Delilah’s betrayal of Samson, the strongman in the Bible. I told my friend he could have Shekira to himself and wished him the best of luck. I did not give him my reason. And it took me several years to come out of the Delilah Syndrome, having pigeonholed every woman as a potential betrayer and wicked. Looking back now, I shudder at the thought of being tried and convicted for friendtricide had my buddy answered his final summons as a result of the vicious choke hold. And come to think of it, in my innocence, if I had Shekira at that time, would l know what to do with her the way I would have done today? The answer is blowing in the wind. Sorry for the digression. Now, back to the topic of the day. Nigeria and India have a lot in common. They were both colonised by Britain... lndia gained its political freedom in 1947. Thirteen years later, Nigeria also became an independent nation. India is the most populous nation in the Asian axis housing about 1.4bn souls. Nigeria is home to more than 200 million folks, making it the most populous nation in Africa. The Indians have been around long before our independence. The colonial masters used them to build our railways. Today, the system is working seamlessly in India, boasting of a track length of 132,310 kilometres. About 96.59 per cent of broad gauge is electrified. The system has 1.2m employees on its payroll, making it the second largest employer of labour in that country. Our own railway system collapsed some decades ago. No thanks to operators of high-capacity transportation business. Efficient rail system was a threat to their emerging enterprises. So, they connived to run it aground so their business could thrive. All the infrastructure and massive assets of the Nigeria Railway Corporation have been vandalised across the length and breadth of the country. And our roads have been bearing the brunt, pounded by heavy duty vehicles doing what the rail transportation was meant to do. Efforts by successive administrations to revive the system are like attempting to empty the Atlantic Ocean with a teaspoon! Bandits and criminal elements have not helped matters as evidenced by the attacks on passenger trains. They roll away rail tracks when they are not raiding the trains to harvest kidnap materials. India, Nigeria’s senior brother, is also an industrialised nation. It is the world’s 6th largest manufacturer, contributing 2.6 per cent of manufacturing output. In Nigeria, our manufacturing sector has been run aground. As recently as the early 80s, Nigeria’s manufacturing sector was a pride of the nation. Many firms have either shut down or relocated to neighbouring countries where their economic climate is salubrious. The driving force, so to speak, was the poor electricity supply, the critical oxygen that powers the economy. It is such a huge shame that despite billions of cash in hard currencies sunk into the power sector by the successive administration over the years, Nigeria can hardly feed its electricity consumers with more than 3,000MW at a go. Whereas, that is the quantum of power that Heathrow International Airport alone consumes. Even at that, the national grid has become obsolete to cope. Today, manufacturing locations across the country have become industrial cemeteries or taken over and converted to churches where millions of jobless Nigerians go to pray for jobs and miracles. Sad! India also occupies the 4th position as the largest car producer and 3rd in heavy duty manufacturer. Its total vehicle production stood at 28.43 million units as at 2004. Its biggest auto export markets include Latin America, Southeast Asia, Middle East and Africa. Among made-in India cars are Kia Smet, Nexon, Brezza, Volkswagen Vitrus, Honda City, Skoda Kushaq, Hyundai, Scorpio, Jeep Compass and MG Hector. In Nigeria, we used to have Styre Motors, Leyland, Volkswagen, Anamco and Peugeot Automobile of Nigeria (PAN). While the first three have vanished, PAN is gasping for oxygen. The government could not protect it from the asphyxiation by imported cars and SUVs. India relies majorly on coal for its electricity generation. Coal accounts for 49.3% or 205.235MW... just as we have abundance of coal in Enugu but long abandoned. Gas provides 24.824MW and hydro supplies 46,850MW. Other sources include solar, wind, biomass, natural gas and electricity. India is also an oil producing country. Its output stands at 728,000 per day but imports 82 % of its oil need. India oil reserves stand at 5 billion barrels compared to Nigeria’s 37.5 billion, making it the 10th largest in the world and second in Africa. Nigeria also has 209trn cubit feet of proven natural gas, making it the 8th largest gas reserve holder in the world and the largest on the continent. Nigeria caught the vision to become an industrial giant on the continent and went on to establish the Ajaokuta Steel Complex during the Shagari era. Today, that bedrock of our industrustrialisation is now a monument of shame. Shagari’s was sacked in 1983 and that sounded the death knell of the complex. All the steel rolling mills set up to feed from the complex became orphans destined to die sooner or later. Efforts to breathe life into the Ajaokuta complex by successive governments have remained a political reverie because the equipment has either become obsolete or in a state of desuetude. India is fortunate to have good leaders. It has also enjoyed political stability after the assassination of one of its iconic leaders, Indira Ghandi, in 1984. Nigeria is not that fortunate. Until 1999, Nigeria had not enjoyed any stability. There were frequent regime changes that became the bane of our development. What is more, our democracy has attracted all manner of criminalities such as terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, among other allied crimes. Modi’s visit and the progress his country has made 77 years after independence is food for thought for our leaders. India was ahead of us by just 13 years at independence but in terms of technological development and in other spheres of human endeavours, it is 130 years ahead of us today.
