Rodgers, who turns 41 next Monday, has been hampered at times during the Jets' 3-8 start by various injuries to his left leg, including a sore knee, sprained ankle and balky hamstring. Ulbrich said Monday the quarterback came back from the team's bye-week break ready to go. “All I can say, and you'd have to ask Aaron if he's fully healthy, but he's better off today than he's been as of late,” Ulbrich said. "So he's definitely feeling healthier than he has probably for the past month. A healthy Aaron Rodgers is the Aaron Rodgers we all love. “So, I'm excited about what that looks like.” NFL Network reported on Sunday that Rodgers, who missed all but four snaps last season with a torn left Achilles tendon , has declined having medical scans on his injured leg so he can continue to play. “I have not been informed of that, either way,” Ulbrich said. Rodgers suffered what NFL Network reported was a “significant” hamstring injury against Denver in Week 4. He then sprained his left ankle against Minnesota in London a week later. The four-time MVP has not been able to consistently move around during games as he has in the past, when extending plays and making things happen on the run became such a big part of his game. Rodgers said leading into New York's 28-27 loss to Indianapolis last Sunday that it was the healthiest he felt in a while. But he struggled against the Colts, finishing 22 of 29 for 184 yards after a brutally slow start during which he went 9 of 13 for just 76 yards. The Athletic reported last week that owner Woody Johnson broached the idea during a meeting with the coaching staff of having the banged-up Rodgers sit after the Jets' loss to Denver in Week 4. With Rodgers' struggles and perhaps compromised health the past few games, a hot debate on social media and sports talk shows during the past week has been whether the quarterback should take a seat in favor of Tyrod Taylor. But when asked if there has been any talk of shutting down Rodgers, Ulbrich replied flatly: “There has not.” In a follow-up question, the interim coach was asked if Rodgers will, in fact, be the Jets' starting quarterback at home Sunday against the Seahawks. “Absolutely,” Ulbrich said. He added that he didn't feel the need to sit down with Rodgers and address all the reports and chatter outside the facility. “No, I feel like we are on the same page,” the coach said. Last week, Ulbrich said he and his staff would take “a deep dive” into what the team could do better after losing seven of its past eight and being on the verge of missing the postseason for the 14th consecutive year. Ulbrich opted not to make any changes to the coaching responsibilities of his staff and he will continue to run the defense as the coordinator. He also said there would not be any personnel changes coming out of the bye, barring injuries. “But definitely, we created a really clear vision of where we need to improve and found some things,” Ulbrich said. “Obviously, you find the things that you’re not doing well, you need to improve upon them, but then also found some some things that I think we can really build upon. So I was excited in both ways.” Johnson fired general manager Joe Douglas last Tuesday, six weeks after he also dismissed coach Robert Saleh. On Monday, the team announced it would be assisted by The 33rd Team , a football media, analytics and consulting group founded by former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum, in its searches for a general manager and coach. Ulbrich insisted that isn't creating an awkward situation for him, in particular, as he and his staff focus on the present while the organization begins planning for the future. “In all honesty, it’s not at all,” Ulbrich said. “My singular focus is just finishing the season off the right way, playing a brand of football we’re all proud of, myself included. And that starts with Seattle.” LB C.J. Mosley said he's “progressing” in his return from a herniated disk in his neck, but is still uncertain about his availability for Sunday. Mosley said Monday was the first time he put on a helmet since the injury occurred during pregame warmups against New England on Oct. 27. ... Ulbrich said the team is still evaluating LT Tyron Smith, who missed the game against Indianapolis with a neck ailment. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflBy Melanie Burton MELBOURNE (Reuters) -A lithium technology startup backed by Rio Tinto expects to finalise a funding round in the next week to raise A$29 million ($19 million), even as the global lithium market struggles, its Melbourne-based CEO told Reuters. ElectraLith is developing a filtration technology that can extract lithium from brine deposits without using water or chemicals, which would be key in arid areas like Chile's Atacama desert, and needs only small amounts of energy. "The lithium market is not great, venture capital markets aren’t great, (so) the fact we are about to close this round with an oversubscribed investor base ... for us that’s fantastic," CEO Charlie McGill told Reuters. Several companies, including Exxon Mobil, are competing to commercialise their own direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies in an industry that is expected to grow to more than $10 billion in annual revenue within the next decade. DLE is expected to reshape the lithium market by speeding the production process of the metal used in EV batteries and electronics to hours or days, compared with months or longer with large evaporation ponds and open pit mines. ElectraLith's DLE-R process, for which the company holds commercialisation rights, filters brine through two membranes that extract lithium and turn it into lithium hydroxide, before injecting the remaining brine back into the aquifer. The group is working on how to scale the membrane for large projects while maintaining its properties, McGill said, and retains all commercial rights. ElectraLith plans to use funds raised to build its first pilot plant at Rio Tinto’s Rincon operations in Argentina, he said, adding the project is about a year from being ready to pilot. Two more pilot plants are set to follow. The firm is currently owned by venture capital firm IP Group, Rio Tinto and Monash University, where its membrane technology was developed under Professor Huanting Wang. By producing lithium hydroxide without water or chemicals, ElectraLith says it can compete at around half the cost of rivals, McGill said. "The availability of water in the regions where there are lithium mines is a major problem," he said. In Utah, where it is working on a project with Australia-listed Mandrake Resources, water from the Colorado River basin has to flow to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. "You can’t get a water permit," McGill said. "So we show up and we are like, 'We don’t need water.'" ($1 = 1.5349 Australian dollars) (Reporting by Melanie Burton; Editing by Sonali Paul)

LEE COUNTY – Most of us have a to-do list of some sorts – for the day, the week – but Emily Benjamin’s list spans five years, like from 2025 to 2029. The new CEO and President of Lee County Economic Development Group (LCEDG) says that list is called “Connect Lee County” and is being launched right after the entity’s busiest season. “Starting in September we started working with a nonprofit, capital fundraising group called Conversion Nonprofit Solutions. You’re sitting on top of a Conversion Nonprofit Solutions project. They were instrumental in getting the funding for the marina project,” Benjamin told Fort Madison Rotarians at their meeting Tuesday at the marina’s Turnwater Bar & Grill. With respect to the LCEDG, the fundraising nonprofit helped raise money to implement Connect Lee County and other initatives. In preparation, Nonprofit Solutions had LCEDG entities map our their accomplishments of the last five years as well as their goals for the next five years. During this process, Benjamin said the consultant interviewed community stakeholders. “Sometimes people will say meaner things to the consultant than to me or to Dennis (Fraise, the former retired CEO/President), so we like the unvarnished treatment that we get out of that feasibility study,” she said. She said Lee County does have some significant “head winds,” or challenges, but that in the end, her group needs to focus on three main areas – people, business, and quality of life. Benjamin said these areas have to be addressed from two angles – attracting the new and engaging or enhancing what is already in place. “We need to look at attracting new residents, new businesses, new quality of life amenities, and we also have to look at engaging the residents that already here, the businesses that are already here, and making sure we are fully utilizing the quality of life amenities that are here.” Under the “people” category,” Benjamin said the goal it build a strong, skilled workforce. She said they will do this in a variety of ways, including an Iowa Economic Development Authority pilot program for attracting talent by partnering with state colleges and those majoring in specific study areas. “We can then reach out to them and say ‘Hey, you have a mechanical engineering degree. Have you ever thought of moving back to your home community – I see you’re from Fort Madison, Iowa and there are three positions available in Lee County.” She said LCEDG can also help existing businesses recruit talent by cutting through some of the corporate red tape and representing them and the area at career fairs and by contacting college offices. She said there is also a community concierge piece to focusing on people and attracting new residents to the area. “It doesn’t do us a lot of good to bring people into the community and not connect them to that community.” Benjamin said this means reaching out to others in the community to show visitors the sights, the amenities, and to help sell them on the idea of relocating to the area. “Find out if they have kids, are interested in schools. Find out things about them and then also try to connect them with more fabrics of our community.” A third goal is to build an entrepreneurial ecosystem that provides support and resources for small business owners. “Anybody here that has been a small business owner knows it can be kind of a lonely island to own a small business. We want to make sure we are utilizing the program we already have, but also build a new one so that people feel like they have a support network.” Last, but not least, the Career Advantage Center that offers vocational and business training to local high school students in cooperation with area industries, will come into play. The center was five years in the making, under Fraise’s leadership, and is now governed by its own nonprofit board, which includes LCEDG representation. Benjamin said a large part of Connect Lee County is a unified approach with one entity representing the interests of all cities within the area, rather than having Fort Madison and Keokuk working independently. She said one site selector scouting the area said he does select a site, rather he goes out and disqualifies sites. “He said ‘if I have to call three different people to find out who the right person is to talk to, I’m going to eliminate your community because I assume there is bad politics. I assume there’s bad blood or some sort of contention where you guys can’t work together.’” In the area of business, Benjamin said they not only want to be chosen by site selectors for new industry, but they also want to work with existing industry so that if that company’s corporate officials are looking to relocate a division of manufacturing that Lee County is a contender. “We know that about 80 percent of future growth will come from these existing businesses.” She said Lee County currently has 4,500 manufacturing jobs that contributes $250 million to the economy, but that agricultural sector is also prominent and in need of more attention and support. “We have a goal in our five-year plan to focus on building relationships with that ag community.“ She said the more difficult part of her job is that “you win some, and you lose some.” For example, corporate officials decided to close Fort Madison Independent Can manufacturing plant and move its operations to another existing plant – leaving the county with one less industry, but with a marketable building for a new one. “We know that if we get everything right, we’re still going to lose some, so we have to continue to attach new industries to the area. We have to continue to be really proactive about getting these. A lot of times, when we get a lead, we get a spread sheet and we have 24 hours to turn it around.” She said she is often reminded of Derry Brothers’ “push, pull or drag” promotion where the Burlington car dealership vowed to pay for any trade-in vehicle that would be pushed, pulled or dragged to their premises. “Sometimes doing economic development in a rural community feels a little like a push, pull or drag sale. We don’t care who you are. We don’t care what you want to make. If you’ll consider Lee County, we want you here and we’re going to try to get you here.” The third piece of the five-year plan consists of quality of life – amenities and lifestyle benefits to living in the area. Existing amenities include the Fort Madison marina, the recreational trails, the schools and community college, the Baxter Sport Complex, pickle ball courts, the YMCA, events, historical landmarks, the Mississippi River, the many trains passing through the communities, the scenic parks and more. “Whether it is in Keokuk, in Fort Madison, whether it is in Montrose, what is our next big-slash impact that we can make?” But quality life can also be a lifestyle that may attract newcomers. “The one thing that I personally sell is that I have a job that I love. It’s a job that demands a lot of my time and a lot of my attention, but I don’t miss my kids’ baseball games. I can do my job. I can work really hard and still be the kind of present parent, engaged community member, and active volunteer that I want to be.”Donald Trump has moved on from Matt Gaetz and picked a new contender to endorse for his spot in Congress: Jimmy Patronis, the CFO of Florida. Trump wrote on Truth Social “RUN, JIMMY, RUN!” and endorsed him, despite no official announcement from Patronis. Patronis has said that he was “strongly considering” going for the role of Florida Congressional District 1 in an X post on Nov. 19. “We’ve got an historic opportunity to fight the swamp, end lawfare and return power back into the hands of Americans,” the Republican wrote. After Trump’s preemptive endorsement, Patronis seemed convinced to run. “Put me to work, Mr. President! @realDonaldTrump I am here to serve,” he posted on Nov. 25. The position opened up after Gaetz was nominated for attorney general by the president-elect and resigned from his seat, only to drop out of the running for top prosecutor. “A fourth generation Floridian from the beautiful Panhandle, and owner of an iconic seafood restaurant , Jimmy has been a wonderful friend to me, and to MAGA," Trump wrote in his post endorsing Patronis. The special primary will take place Jan. 28, with the general election occurring on April 1. The Daily Beast Podcast episodes are released every Thursday.

A baby gorilla was accidentally killed at a zoo in Canada when it was struck in the head by a door, officials said Thursday. The 2-year-old female gorilla, Eyare, was roaming from room to room when a zookeeper activated the wrong hydraulic door to separate her, according to the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo . The accident left the ape with “traumatic head injuries” and veterinary staff administered CPR. The zookeeper “was immediately removed from the workplace following the incident,” the zoo said. The zoo said it launched an investigation into the incident and “doesn’t take these findings lightly.” All zookeepers will undergo retraining to prevent further accidents. “This tragedy has struck us all in the deepest way imaginable,” said Colleen Baird, director of Animal Care, Health and Welfare, in a statement. “Eyare’s short but impactful life brought so much joy to our community, and she will be deeply missed by all. We will do everything we can to prevent future incidents.” With the holidays around the corner, Flamingo Estate has everything you need to surprise friends and family with the gift of handmade everyday essentials for the home.

A pro-Putin, far-right politician won the primary round of Romania ’s presidential election on Sunday after he went viral on social media. Călin Georgescu, 62, had gained minimal support for the majority of his independent presidential bid. Ahead of the electoral primary, however, his eccentric campaign clips on TikTok , including videos of him riding on a horse and practicing martial arts began trending on the app. Georgescu, who supports religious, ultra-conservative views, won 23 percent of the vote on Sunday. He claimed that he spent “zero” money on his campaign and instead put his faith in God. “It’s a TikTok win,” Romanian analyst and historian Ion M. Ionita told the Financial Times . “You don’t need a party. You just need to go viral on social media, and he has gone viral for sure.” Ionita said mainstream parties in the country are struggling to resonate with voters after years of scandals and economic hardship. “Voters are vulnerable to messages that have no connection with reality,” he added. Georgescu’s success reportedly denotes a significant shift in Romanian attitudes toward Russia and is the latest sign of how Trump-style populism is gaining traction in Europe. Rep. Lauren Boebert is the latest politician to launch a Cameo — with videos starting at $250 for a personal message. “Hey, Cameo, it’s your girl from Colorado, Lauren Boebert,” she said in the page’s introductory video. “Whether you or someone you know needs an America First pep talk, if you want to surprise friends or family with a message for a special day, or if you just want to know my thoughts on whatever’s on your mind, Cameo is the place to connect with me.” Boebert’s foray into Cameo comes just days after former Rep. Matt Gaetz also launched a page on the site after withdrawing his name for consideration for attorney general. While Gaetz is charging $500 for a video, fellow disgraced Republican Rep. George Santos, who first started Cameo in 2023, charges $250, like Boebert. The House Ethics Committee notes that representatives can earn up to $31,815 from outside sources.

Hulk Hogan hinted at a possible position in Donald Trump ’s incoming administration during a Fox News interview on Saturday. “My president said, ‘You know something, you’d be great to run the President’s Council on Physical Fitness,‘” Hogan told host Brian Kilmeade . The council advises the president on policies related to healthy eating and fitness. The current council is in place until Sept. 30, 2025. Hogan continued, “At the end of the day, when I was in the back at Madison Square Garden after the whole rally, we were talking about Robert Kennedy, I was talking about nutrition, and how many foreign countries won’t even let their people eat the food that we eat here in America.” Trump tapped vaccine skeptic Kennedy to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, a move that has worried health-care groups and experts. “It’s so bad, and it’s poisoned a generation of kids,” Hogan added. “And at the end of the day, we start talking about physical fitness.” Nearly three in five Americans approve of President-elect Donald Trump ’s handling of his transition to the White House , according to a CBS/YouGov poll released Monday. Over half of Americans—55 percent—also said they were “happy” or “satisfied” with Trump’s election victory. Underscoring the poll, however, was a sense of doom and fatigue among the Democratic base: Just 15 percent of Democrats said they feel excited or optimistic as Trump prepares to take office, and only 44 percent said they feel motivated to oppose him. “The bottom line is this: Republicans are very motivated by Donald Trump’s win and, compared to eight years ago, Democrats are just really, really, tired,” said CNN data reporter Harry Enten, as he talked through the poll results on air. “They have just given up.” Enten also noted Trump’s +18 net approval rating, which stands in contrast to the +1 he had after winning the 2016 election. Much improved from 2016, this Trump presidential transition is getting 2 thumbs up from Americans. Trump's net approval rating is up 17 pts (to +18 pts). A majority (53%) are excited/optimistic for Trump's coming term. Trump also seems to have exhausted his Democratic rivals: pic.twitter.com/2dGCT6h5po Department store behemoth Macy’s has suffered an embarrassing faux pas after it was revealed that an accounting employee hid up to $154 million in delivery expenses in a years-long scheme. The employee, who has not been named, has been given the boot but Macy’s has been forced to delay its quarterly results after stumbling across the matter that stems back to 2021, the Wall Street Journal reported . However, mystery surrounds the strange saga because the ex-worker didn’t actually pocket the funds, and Macy’s won’t say how they were busted. “While Macy’s cannot control the actions of every employee, it is worrying that these are intentional accounting errors that go back to 2021,” said Neil Saunders, managing director of research firm GlobalData. Saunders added that it “also raises the question as to the competence of the company’s auditors.” The company’s auditor, KPMG, has refused to comment. Elon Musk had some relatable thoughts on the new “department” of government efficiency he’s been tasked to head with Vivek Ramaswamy . “I still can’t believe DOGE is real,” he wrote on his social media platform X on Sunday night, followed by that emoji where the face is crying from laughter. After Musk powered Donald Trump ’s return to the White House, pouring an estimated $200 million into his campaign, the president-elect announced he and Ramaswamy would lead an outside advisory panel aiming to slash $2 trillion in government spending—a plan that even conservative economists have called a “fantasy.” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Fla.) will lead a new House Oversight Committee working with the DOGE panel—an appointment that some of Taylor Greene’s fellow lawmakers have likened to a punishment, not a reward—and Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) is forming a DOGE Senate Caucus. Critics have pointed out that DOGE has no budget, no offices, no personnel and no long-term mandate, but Musk doesn’t seem to care. “I think it’s actually going to work,” he wrote on X.

Liam Payne had a fear of being locked in rooms that dated back to his One Direction days and may have been trying to escape from his hotel room when he fell from the second-floor balcony to his death, according to TMZ. Former One Direction star Payne, 31, died after the incident in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in October and prosecutors confirmed he was under the influence of alcohol, cocaine, and a prescription antidepressant. TMZ reports that Payne had escaped from another room via a balcony as recently as mid-September and claims that sources told them the hotel was aware he may try and get out of the room via the balcony. Images obtained by TMZ reportedly capture the moments before Liam was forcefully put into his room. Minutes later, he fell from the balcony. According to a 911 transcript obtained by the site, a hotel employee told a 911 operator: “I don’t know whether his life may be in danger. He is in a room with a balcony, and, well, we’re a little afraid...” The autopsy indicated he died from “multiple trauma.” Barron Trump is back at Mar-a-Lago for Thanksgiving and was spotted dining with his mom and dad–Melania and Donald Trump–at the Florida club on Saturday night.

Rodgers, who turns 41 next Monday, has been hampered at times during the Jets' 3-8 start by various injuries to his left leg, including a sore knee, sprained ankle and balky hamstring. Ulbrich said Monday the quarterback came back from the team's bye-week break ready to go. “All I can say, and you'd have to ask Aaron if he's fully healthy, but he's better off today than he's been as of late,” Ulbrich said. "So he's definitely feeling healthier than he has probably for the past month. A healthy Aaron Rodgers is the Aaron Rodgers we all love. “So, I'm excited about what that looks like.” NFL Network reported on Sunday that Rodgers, who missed all but four snaps last season with a torn left Achilles tendon , has declined having medical scans on his injured leg so he can continue to play. “I have not been informed of that, either way,” Ulbrich said. Rodgers suffered what NFL Network reported was a “significant” hamstring injury against Denver in Week 4. He then sprained his left ankle against Minnesota in London a week later. The four-time MVP has not been able to consistently move around during games as he has in the past, when extending plays and making things happen on the run became such a big part of his game. Rodgers said leading into New York's 28-27 loss to Indianapolis last Sunday that it was the healthiest he felt in a while. But he struggled against the Colts, finishing 22 of 29 for 184 yards after a brutally slow start during which he went 9 of 13 for just 76 yards. The Athletic reported last week that owner Woody Johnson broached the idea during a meeting with the coaching staff of having the banged-up Rodgers sit after the Jets' loss to Denver in Week 4. With Rodgers' struggles and perhaps compromised health the past few games, a hot debate on social media and sports talk shows during the past week has been whether the quarterback should take a seat in favor of Tyrod Taylor. But when asked if there has been any talk of shutting down Rodgers, Ulbrich replied flatly: “There has not.” In a follow-up question, the interim coach was asked if Rodgers will, in fact, be the Jets' starting quarterback at home Sunday against the Seahawks. “Absolutely,” Ulbrich said. He added that he didn't feel the need to sit down with Rodgers and address all the reports and chatter outside the facility. “No, I feel like we are on the same page,” the coach said. Last week, Ulbrich said he and his staff would take “a deep dive” into what the team could do better after losing seven of its past eight and being on the verge of missing the postseason for the 14th consecutive year. Ulbrich opted not to make any changes to the coaching responsibilities of his staff and he will continue to run the defense as the coordinator. He also said there would not be any personnel changes coming out of the bye, barring injuries. “But definitely, we created a really clear vision of where we need to improve and found some things,” Ulbrich said. “Obviously, you find the things that you’re not doing well, you need to improve upon them, but then also found some some things that I think we can really build upon. So I was excited in both ways.” Johnson fired general manager Joe Douglas last Tuesday, six weeks after he also dismissed coach Robert Saleh. On Monday, the team announced it would be assisted by The 33rd Team , a football media, analytics and consulting group founded by former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum, in its searches for a general manager and coach.

And that starts with Seattle.” LB C.J. Mosley said he's “progressing” in his return from a herniated disk in his neck, but is still uncertain about his availability for Sunday.

Thirty-four eminent citizens in a statement yesterday expressed deep concern over the protests outside the offices of Prothom Alo and The Daily Star in Dhaka and Chattogram, as well as the attacks on Prothom Alo's offices in Rajshahi and Bogura. They also called upon the government and all stakeholders to ensure the safety of media outlets and journalists while safeguarding freedom of expression. "We observe with deep anger and concern that on November 25, at Rajshahi's Saheb Bazar Zero Point, a group operating under the banner of 'Alem Ulama and Tawhidi Janata' created chaos in the name of protests, demanding the shutdown of Prothom Alo and The Daily Star," the statement said. The statement also mentioned the protests in front of Prothom Alo and The Daily Star offices. "Such audacious and violent attacks by communal groups not only target two reputable newspapers but also constitute an assault on the entire media's freedom and a threat to journalists' safety. "We unequivocally assert that everyone has the right to freedom of expression. If there are grievances regarding any published news or reports, proper legal or constructive measures should be adopted. Protests and attacks demanding the shutdown of newspapers are completely unacceptable," the statement added. The statement added that some protesters accused The Daily Star and Prothom Alo of being "architects of turning devout Muslims into militants." "This is a grave accusation, and it is unclear on what basis these claims are made. Such sweeping allegations, incitements, and the spread of hatred on social media must be investigated to determine whether any vested interest groups are orchestrating these activities for ulterior motives." The statement noted that the two newspapers targeted in these protests had faced numerous lawsuits, harassment, and blacklisting under the previous authoritarian regime. "The editors of these newspapers were subjected to dozens of harassment cases filed by ruling party members. After the fall of the autocratic government, the misuse of freedom of assembly and expression to incite communal hatred and create chaos seems to be part of a broader attempt to destabilise the country and render it dysfunctional," the statement read. The emergence of a new culture of fear is also evident, the statement said. "Therefore, we urge the government to take this matter seriously, investigate the instigators and their patrons, and take legal action against them. We welcome the Information Advisor's commitment to addressing those involved in the attacks on media offices. However, action must also be taken against those inciting these events," the statement added. They also urged the public to remain vigilant against incitement and misinformation and to stand united in protecting freedom of the press. The signatories of the statement are: Dhaka University (DU) Emeritus Prof Serajul Islam Choudhury, DU Prof Abul Kashem Fazlul Haque, former Jahangirnagar University Prof Anu Muhammad, Human Rights Activist Sultana Kamal, Nijera Kori Coordinator Khushi Kabir, DU Prof Robaet Ferdous, Supreme Court Senior Advocates ZI Khan Panna, Subrata Chowdhury, and Tobarak Hossain, BLAST Honorary Executive Director Barrister Sara Hossain, London School of Economics and Political Science Visiting Prof Swapan Adnan, ALRD Executive Director Shamsul Huda, DU Prof Samina Lutfa, Photographer Shahidul Alam, Writer Rehnuma Ahmed, DU Prof Jobaida Nasreen, DU Prof Khairul Islam Choudhury, BELA acting chief Executive Taslima Islam, BNWLA Executive Director Advocate Salma Ali, Lancaster University Researcher Sadaf Noor, Nagarik Udyog Chief Executive Zakir Hossain, Bangladesh Hindu Bouddha Christian Oikya Parishad General Secretary Manindra Kumar Nath, SC advocate Minhajul Haque Chowdhury, Coast Trust Executive Director Rezaul Karim Chowdhury, Journalists Saydia Gulrukh and Mahbub Hasan, Sammilito Samajik Andolon GS Saleh Ahmed, Islamic University teacher Farha Tanzim Titil, SC lawyers Barrister Ashraf Ali, Barrister Shuvra Chakraborty, Barrister Shahadat Alam, DU teacher Rushad Faridi, Human Rights Activist Dipayan Khisa, and Indigenous Rights activist Hana Shams Ahmed.

Walmart had one of the best gaming PC deals during Cyber Monday, and it's still available today... at an even more incredible price. Right now, you can get an iBuyPower PC Y40 gaming PC equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7700 CPU and a GeForce RTX 4070 GPU for only $999. It was $1199 on Black Friday and even at that price, it was still the least expensive RTX 4070 gaming PC I could find. I don't expect this deal too last for more than a few days so don't hesitate. The iBuyPowerPC Y40 features an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread CPU with a max boost clock speed of 5.3GHz and a 32MB L3 cache. This is a great processor for both workstation tasts and gaming and it's pretty power efficient as well, unlike its Intel i7 counterpart. It's cooled by a 240mm AIO liquid cooling system, so you shouldn't need to worry about thermals. Hyte is iBuyPowerPC's sister company, and this case is housed in a Hyte Y40 midtower chassis (hence the name).

He was on a visit to the three Premier Training Institutes of the Indian Army - Army War College (AWC), Infantry School and Military College of Telecommunication & Engineering (MCTE) - in Mhow, Madhya Pradesh, on Sunday, accompanied by Chief of the Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi and other senior officers of the Indian Army. The Defence Minister was briefed by the Officiating Commandant on the establishment of Advanced Incubation and Research Centre and the various MoUs towards enabling absorption and transformation of technologies, said a statement. He visited the Army Marksmanship Unit to witness their contribution towards national sports. The Defence Minister also visited the Infantry Museum, where he was briefed on the history of Infantry as well as the induction of modernised equipment into the Infantry. Singh also interacted with all ranks of the three institutes at AWC. Addressing the troops, he commended the courage of the Indian Army personnel in safeguarding the borders and ensuring national security. “Your dedication and devotion to duty are an inspiration to all of us. It is due to your hard work and commitment that our country and its borders are becoming increasingly secure and strong,” he said. The Defence Minister called upon the armed forces to continue keeping a vigilant eye on the current geopolitical scenario, and always remain alert and ready to deal with any kind of threats. He emphasised that there are times when India faces challenges on the borders as well as on the internal front, which makes it imperative for the soldiers to keep a close eye on the activities of the adversaries and take timely and effective steps against them. The Defence Minister asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government's aim is to make India a developed and self-reliant nation by 2047, and the Armed Forces will play a crucial role in achieving this goal. Earlier, Rajnath Singh visited the Bhim Janm Bhoomi, a memorial dedicated to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in Mhow, and paid homage to the Bharat Ratna awardee and the architect of the Indian Constitution at his birthplace.

Trump taps forceful ally of hard-line immigration policies to head Customs and Border Protection

(The Center Square) – U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Arizona, blasted U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Ur Jaddou for her agency approving illegal border crossers as sponsors for illegal border crossers. At a U.S. House Judiciary subcommittee hearing , Biggs also pointed out that the sponsors were found to be committing Social Security and other fraud under her watch. Biggs addressed rampant fraud in a program created by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for inadmissible citizens of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, who don’t qualify for admission into the U.S. Under Mayorkas, they were flown into the country through a CHNV parole program, used a CBP One phone app to apply for entry, and were released into the country. Part of the process requires having a “supporter” fill out an application on behalf of the CHNV parolee. While Mayorkas claimed app user parolees and supporters were thoroughly vetted, multiple Office of Inspector General reports disproved this claim, expressing security risks at airports. In August, flights of CHNV illegal border crossers were temporarily suspended after a USCIS internal review found that tens of thousands of CHNV fraudulent applications were processed. Supporters used fake Social Security numbers and phone numbers and listed the same physical address on nearly 20,000 applications, according to the report, The Center Square reported . Biggs asked Jaddou if she disputed the fact that supporters used the same Social Security Number on CHNV applications, which “happened at least 3,200 times. The same phone number used at least 3,300 times. The same supporter email address was used on applications nearly 2,000 times.” Jaddou said she didn’t have the report in front of her and didn’t dispute it. “You don’t really want to admit there’s this much rampant fraud,” he said. Biggs next cited examples of fraud that weren’t fixed. “The same exact 184-word response was used on more than 1,800 applications by nearly 194 CHNV supporters,” he said. “More than 460 nonexistent zip codes were used on supported applications on behalf of more than 2,800 CHV aliens. You can dance around and say you don't have the report in front of you, but these are the facts. This program is rife with fraud.” As of Aug. 6, DHS had approved more than 80,000 CHNV supporters for the program who were in the U.S. on a temporary basis. More from this section USCIS approved 224 CHNV parolees who were already in the country illegally as sponsors for CHNV parolees that came after them, meaning illegal foreign nationals were sponsoring illegal foreign nationals. USCIS also approved 28,322 illegal foreign nationals shielded from deportation through Temporary Protected Status as CHVN supporters; “19,865 SLEs approved as CHNV supporters, 311 DACA recipients approved as CHNV supporters, 1,300-plus aliens in the U.S. on temporary visas approved as CHNV supporters, 64 refugees approved as CHNV supporters, 19,112 conditional permanent residents approved this season as CHNV supporters,” he said. “That is the program that you are administering. I'm not talking the aliens. I'm not getting into the violation of law of the U.S. code 1182, which states that the use of parole is supposed to be a case-by-case basis.” Biggs said the supporter application process was so rampant with fraud that it was temporarily shut down but wasn’t fixed. The fraud is “still ongoing. We're waiting for the next report to confirm that these things are still going on,” he said. In addition to the USCIS report, a U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security investigation found that "as of mid-October 2023, there were 1.6 million inadmissible aliens awaiting travel authorizations through the CHNV program” and DHS was using 50 airports worldwide to fly them in, The Center Square reported . None flown into the country have a legal basis to enter the U.S. before being paroled through the CHNV program, DHS documents the committee obtained state. "All individuals paroled into the United States are, by definition, inadmissible, including those paroled under the CHNV processes," one of the DHS documents states. The CHNV parole program was among more than a dozen that House Republicans identified as illegal and cited as reasons to impeach Mayorkas. According to the latest U.S. Customs and Border Protection data , more than 852,000 illegal foreign nationals were processed and released into the country through the CBP One App and more than 531,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans deemed inadmissible were released into the country through the CHNV parole program, as of October. Under the Biden administration, more than three million illegal border crossers were reported from CHNV countries, The Center Square reported . Many have been directly linked to violent crimes committed against Americans, The Center Square reported .Joy-Anna Duggar Wears Shorts After Family’s Strict Dress Code
